Chapter 7:

An Annoying Do-or-Die

HOW DID I END UP FIGHTING face-to-face in a universe where spaceships fly around with incredible firepower? I blamed Balthazar, along with that damned imperial army for making such a stupid ship. Like seriously, what the f*rk.

“Master Hiro, we’ll be docking soon,” Mimi informed me. “Enemy forces seem to be focused away from the hangar, so you won’t have to worry immediately. But please be careful.”

“Will do.”

Even if there were enemies right outside, they wouldn’t be able to destroy my power armor without some strong-ass weapons. Power armor was my favorite piece of gear, focused on bulk and firepower. Anti-laser, anti-corrosive, and quite bulletproof, the Class-III armor displayed incredible defense against all forms of attack. When the going got tough, I could even deploy shields to bolster its defenses.

“I will protect you, Master. Please, leave them to me.” Mei seemed almost excited.

I mean, she looked just as cool and collected as usual. Her tone of voice wasn’t exactly bubbly, either. But I could tell from her aura that she was raring and ready to go. Okay, you’re ready: I get it. Can you stop swinging that laser launcher around, though? That’s not how you use it.

The reason Mei could even use a laser launcher meant for power armor was because her generator was set up to supply energy to the weapon. Like a suit of power armor, she was equipped with a micro-generator. Hers had even more output than power armor, though, so she could use heavy armaments without needing to wear the armor. The power cable that energized the laser launcher extended from her hip, by the way. Was there an outlet there? I never saw anything like that when I saw her naked.

Weird.

Just then, the ship rocked slightly. It seemed we had landed.

“We’ve docked,” Elma announced. “I know we should put our all into our work, but you only have one life. Don’t waste it.”

“Aye aye, ma’am.”

“Also, evade a noble’s sword at all costs. It’ll cut right through your power armor.”

“Huh?!” Hold up wait a minute! Nobody told me that! Is it too late to change my mind?!

“Also,” Elma repeated, “be careful. Nobles are often equipped with cybernetics that greatly increase their information-processing abilities.”

“Define careful. And what’s the danger to me from that, specifically?”

“Basically, they have insane reaction time. They can deflect lasers with their swords and even fling them back at you.”

“You’ve got to be kidding me…”

For real? They deflect lasers and fling them back? What are these people, J*di? I don’t remember any cybernetic J*di, not that I’m all that knowledgeable about that franchise.

“But,” Elma continued, “they do have trouble keeping it up for a long time due to the physical strain on their bodies. You can do the same thing, right? That’s why I thought you were a noble at first.”

“I can? Oh, yeah, I can…”

She means that thing where everything slows down when I hold my breath, right? Okay, so it must be the same thing. Apparently, it looks like I’m firing at super-high speeds when I do that.
