Chapter 13 - Once the planet's terraforming and ship registry code acquisition are done, there's no choice but to go to the capital star to receive a peerage, right?
~On the satellite orbit of the thirteenth planet in the Betasia Star System~
Sangou had arrived on the satellite orbit of the thirteenth planet of the Betasia Star System, following the Captain's instructions.
According to prior information from Rouju, the thirteenth planet was a planet specialized in food production.
However, within the optically observable range of Sangou, not a trace of that appearance remained.
What was supposed to be a granary region within the star system was nothing but a desolate, gravelly desert-like area.
The image of the surface, only a rust-brown color, endlessly displayed on the ship's monitors from Sangou's observations, showed no green of plants, no blue suggestive of water, not even a shadow or shape.
"Hey, hey. When we exterminated that thing, we gathered and annihilated them in space, so I didn't bother to check the planet's surface condition. But this is terrible."
After giving his impression of the surface image, Jin was stunned by the severity beyond imagination and could not find further words.
Incidentally, Rouju, who was watching the same image beside him, was rendered speechless by the horrifying confirmation of the current state.
(Just sow the plant seeds like crazy and pump them full of Growth Promotion Magic, and that should do it.)
Jin's prior plan was as simple as mentioned above.
But a wilderness with no fresh or salt water at all stretched out, and not even clouds could be observed from Sangou.
It probably never rained either.
In short, it came down to one thing: 'No water.'
No matter how much Growth Promotion Magic was used, it was obvious at a glance that the planet could not be restored to a verdant one with just that.
Even so, however.
For the Hero Jin, it was not as if he had no options.
Jin did not call himself 'Hero' for nothing.
"Well, it's fine. Rouju. Do you have any materials on what the original state was like?"
Called out by Jin, Rouju snapped out of her speechlessness.
Rouju had a data cube containing various materials from her father, which she had brought aboard Sangou.
"I have prepared complete planetary maps, various video recordings, and satellite photographic data from orbit. Also, there are materials roughly specifying the types of seeds and which areas to sow them in. But, it's a data cube."
"May I have that data cube?"
"Yes, of course. You can utilize it, Sangou, right?"
"Yes. Please place it in the sub-unit."
A sub-unit floating lightly in the air came before Rouju.
The top lid of that sub-unit was already open, as if saying 'Place the data cube here.'
Rouju handed the cube to that sub-unit.
Upon receiving the data, Sangou immediately began sorting and selecting information.
Jin himself, at least for formality's sake, glanced over the information displayed on the monitor by Sangou.
He skimmed through it, but there, his reputation as a clumsy Hero was fully displayed.
He was fully intending to have Sangou flow a nicely summarized version directly into his head via Sensory Wave later.
Perhaps once a person learns the easy way, they tend to be swept along that path.
After all, Jin had chosen that method before to learn about Sangou's capabilities.
And on Sangou's side, even without being told by Captain Jin, it had already begun preparing to do just that.
The synchronization between the Hero and the artificial intelligence of the biological spaceship was perfect.
This was truly what one might call 'perfect intuitive understanding.'
That aside, however.
In this era where human living space has expanded into space and the existence of the Gialpha Galaxy Empire is taken for granted.
Within the Empire, improvements to plants have advanced.
From Jin's perspective, even if plants were germinated and grown alone, the ecosystem would not be established.
Because plants need pollination to bloom flowers and produce seeds.
And the power of wind alone is insufficient for that; in many cases Jin knew of from Japan, various insects fulfilled that role.
However, those insects likely do not exist on the current thirteenth planet.
Having realized this, Jin asked Rouju a question.
"Hey, Rouju. It's fine to sow the entrusted seeds, but what about pollination after they grow? Is that okay?"
"'Pollination'? What is that?"
"Captain. By the stage when living space expanded into space, that aspect had already been overcome through variety improvement, I believe."
Sangou's observation was inferred from ancient history in the Deltania Star System, but in reality, it was correct.
Since it would be troublesome if random mutations or evolutions occurred, the seeds prepared by the Betasia Count Household had been improved so that they could be cultivated in a way that produced the next generation of seeds with exactly the same genes, like artificially created clones.
Of course, troublesome aspects like 'the need for pollination insects' had already been overcome through variety improvement long ago.
And regarding the handling of organic matter, although not as versatile as Sangou, the technological level of the Gialpha Galaxy Empire was at a reasonable advancement even from Sangou's perspective.
Specifically, factories that could sort and extract components from raw organic materials to a certain extent and resynthesize them existed commonly.
However, the aforementioned 'method of producing the next generation of seeds with exactly the same genes, like clones' also had its issues.
If a fatal disease occurred in the crops, there was the risk of 'total annihilation of that seed variety in that location.'
Still, humans were not without countermeasures against that.
They avoided risk by methods such as dispersing the types cultivated and dispersing the cultivation locations.
Of course, there have been past cases where crops were locally wiped out.
But each time, they investigated the cause and performed variety improvements to acquire resistance, and such a period has continued for over three thousand years in the Gialpha Galaxy.
As a result, the current situation is 'that is no longer a cause for such concern.'
In addition to water and air containing necessary components, appropriate fertilizer and light, or energy to produce a substitute for light.
As long as those are abundant, crops can be mass-produced.
The sowing Jin would do from now on had this background firmly in place.
Jin received the necessary data from Sangou in the form of being streamed in via Sensory Wave.
(First, we need to restore the water sources.)
The Hero considered this utterly standard procedure while watching the surface image displayed on the monitor.
Therefore, while remaining aboard Sangou, which stayed in satellite orbit, Jin entered the stage of selecting locations for seas, lakes, rivers, and other bodies of water.
In the 20-meter-class sub-unit in Sangou's hangar, seeds had been loaded at the airport before departing from the surface of the main star of the Betasia Star System.
That remained as it was even now.
Rouju knew that.
Hence.
(From now on, Jin will likely ride the 20-meter-class sub-unit and head to the surface of the thirteenth planet. I wonder if he plans to bring water from somewhere later?)
That was what Jin's fiancée thought.
However, that was a mistake.
"Right, I've roughly finished pinpointing the locations. So first, I'll go and make the water resemble its original state. I'm off, so take care of things while I'm gone. Sangou, Rouju, Zilfa."
"Yes, Captain. Have a safe trip."
With that, Jin activated short-range teleportation magic while equipped with the Sub-unit Armor.
Jin vanished.
Leaving Rouju and Zilfa, stunned and unable to comprehend the content of Jin's statement, behind in Sangou's bridge.
(I don't understand what Jin is saying.)
Upon hearing Jin's words before he vanished, the aforementioned thought crossed the minds of both Rouju and Zilfa.
The two women's thoughts at this moment were in agreement.
However, pushing the situation forward regardless of such things was 'Hero Jin Quality.'
Jin, having vanished from the bridge, moved by consecutive short-range teleportations while keeping his Shield Magic deployed.
Soundlessly entering the atmosphere, from midair overlooking the surface, the Hero used Water Magic.
The Hero Jin consumed his inexhaustible magical power and generated a vast amount of water, scattering it over the necessary locations on the surface of the thirteenth planet.
Of course, this was not achievable by Jin's power alone.
When scattering the water, Jin had Sangou observe the surface condition from satellite orbit and communicated to confirm and adjust the water volume.
He continued generating water with magic for two hours.
The thirteenth planet, which had been dyed only in rust-brown until a short time ago, had transformed into a water planet.
This was the result of the Hero Jin's Water Magic dominance, backed by his immense magical power.
However, the salinity of the parts corresponding to the sea was quite low.
Frankly, it was not seawater, but extremely close to freshwater.
This was because the space beasts had eaten almost all the salt.
No matter how much a Hero, he could not do anything about this part.
Even magic had things it could not do.
Therefore, having finished what he could, Jin once returned to Sangou, but.
"I'm back, Sangou. About adjusting the salinity of the sea. We can procure materials from a nearby asteroid and adjust it, right?"
"Yes, Captain. That's correct. It will take approximately twenty-four hours, though. Is that acceptable?"
Jin had a certain understanding of Sangou's capabilities, so such conversations proceeded smoothly.
Incidentally, this conversation took place in an isolated room during the customary sterilization process.
Sangou's quarantine-related operations were proceeding as usual.
Returning to the bridge, Jin was greeted by the glares of Rouju and Zilfa.
"Jin. I hadn't heard that you could do something like that."
"Huh? I told you, I'm a 'Hero.'"
"So that wasn't a joke or a metaphor, huh. Fine. When you have time, I'll have you explain everything, the whole lot, all of it, about 'What Jin can do?', okay?"
Rouju was a bit confused, her wording becoming strange.
"What are we going to do from here on?"
Zilfa asked Jin, still maintaining her glare.
"Hmm. Right before returning, I licked the seawater in what seemed to be the sea, but it was really thin. The saltiness, I mean. So I came back to have Sangou handle it quickly. And while Sangou is doing that, I'll sow the seeds I brought and use Growth Promotion Magic to—"
"Magic! You said 'magic'! Mages only exist in fairy tales, you know?"
Rouju interrupted Jin's words mid-sentence.
I'm a little angry, you know?
Jin could read that feeling from the expression on Rouju's face.
(When a beauty does it, it's cute.)
Seeing his fiancée's expression, the unspoken thought above crossed Jin's mind, but.
That aside, however.
When Rouju spoke about 'magic' as if questioning its very existence, Jin had his own thoughts on the matter.
(It's true I haven't shown Water Magic before. But I have used Shadow Magic before, and I've demonstrated short-range teleportation and Shield Magic. Rouju can't possibly not know about 'magic'.)
Jin pondered the past situations when he was with Rouju.
Then, he hit upon a plausible reason.
(Hmm? Thinking about it carefully, I don't remember ever explaining to Rouju and the others that 'This is magic.' Is that why there's a difference in our understanding?)
Jin's guess was correct.
To add, there are quite many aspects where what is common sense for the Hero Jin does not directly apply to Sangou or Rouju and the others.
"I might not have explained it, but I showed it, right? So you'd understand?"
For Jin, the issue with magic-related matters that he wanted to assert as above was largely influenced by differences in basic common sense.
So, that aside, how does it look when reviewing the escape from Greta from Rouju and the others' perspective?
Rouju and the others had been told by Jin at that time regarding transportation and material logistics: 'Leave it to me. Is that okay?'
(Jin has special skills. But for some reason, he can't talk about them. Or maybe he doesn't want to.)
Jin asked for 'leaving it to him,' and Rouju and the others had no other effective means to escape from Greta.
Under such circumstances, even if mysterious phenomena occurred.
It could be said that it was 'inevitable' that Rouju and the others each held the aforementioned thoughts.
In short, 'the cause of Rouju and the others' current perceptions lay in the content of Jin's statements and actions.'
However, cutting through such circumstances on Rouju's side as 'a trivial misunderstanding' was also 'Hero Jin Quality.'
"Well, anyway, I'm a 'Hero' and can do various things. I can even use magic. Please understand it that way."
Jin neatly summarized and declared.
(Since I'm going to marry Rouju anyway, it was only a matter of time before various things were exposed.)
At this point, Jin had already resigned himself to that fact.
Nevertheless, compared to the importance of the matter concerning the thirteenth planet that had to be accomplished, that was trivial.
Also, if we were to discuss the matter of his abilities.
In this case, the salinity adjustment that Jin, as Captain, entrusted to Sangou led to exposing a part of Sangou's previously concealed abilities to Rouju and the others.
Sangou had to reveal its atmospheric entry and exit capabilities, which it had hidden on the main star, as well as its atmospheric flight capabilities, without restraint.
Because without that, it couldn't adjust the salinity of the thirteenth planet's sea.
Sangou was entrusted with the task by the Captain and accepted it without objection.
And Jin, knowing Sangou's abilities, could predict Sangou's methods.
At that point, the answer was already clear.
Through various things and circumstances, the twenty-four hours Sangou estimated it would need to finish the entrusted task passed.
Sangou completed the adjustment of the sea's salinity as planned.
Jin, for his part, nicely completed the greening, agricultural land conversion, and growth promotion of the crops.
Thanks to the Growth Promotion Magic, the crops would be at a harvestable level if just over three days passed.
Incidentally, Jin also used Earth Magic extensively, and as a service, he developed two flat areas for an airport that could be used for shuttle takeoff and landing, as well as major roads that would likely be needed in the future.
Just this service part from Jin allowed the Betasia Count Household to skip about ten years of time needed for developing ground facilities.
Truly, for the Betasia Count Household, it was a state of being attended to every need.
Thus, the work of the Jin and Sangou team on the thirteenth planet came to an end.
Sangou set course for the third planet of the Betasia Star System, the main star.
On the journey back, Jin and his group were not allowed to indulge in idle sleep except for Sangou.
Before arriving at the main star, Jin began preparing the betrothal gifts within Sangou.
Specifically, in the hangar area where Rouju and the others were not allowed, he took out expensive, rare metal ingots from Storage Space.
This was in lieu of a betrothal payment, a gift for Rouju-papa.
Of course, Jin and Sangou consulted and prepared an amount far exceeding the equivalent for the twelfth planet matter, which had been discussed beforehand.
It would be troublesome if Rouju's family went bankrupt.
That was the reason for this measure.
Since neither Jin nor Sangou needed it for anything immediate, being able to be generous on this point was also a major reason, but.
Incidentally, the reason for not choosing to simply plop the ingots in front of Count Betasia was that Jin wanted to keep the existence of Storage Space Magic secret for a little while longer.
He was supposed to have already resigned himself to the fact that various hidden things would be exposed to a certain extent, yet.
(Even so, I must not show Storage Space Magic just yet.)
For some reason, Jin felt that way.
The basis for Jin's judgment on this point was a mystery, but it was probably something like 'the Hero's intuition.'
Well, it wasn't something that could be hidden forever, so he would reveal it eventually, and it would be discovered, but it was just a matter of postponing that.
For Jin, there was no need to show all his cards.
While Jin was doing such work, Rouju was engaged in proofreading the performance specification declaration form created by Sangou.
Rouju harshly criticized it for being created with obviously lowered performance.
"The rated output during energy-saving operation and normal performance are about this."
Sangou stated the rationale for the content it had created as a big lie, but it was for formality.
"No, no. Even just from the parts I know, that's too unreasonable."
Sangou and Rouju bickered back and forth, but in the end, a nicely balanced performance specification declaration form was completed.
A little into the future, and to give the conclusion, 'a day after it was submitted, the review finished smoothly, and Sangou was able to acquire a unique code.'
What Sangou obtained some time after returning to the main star was not a 'ship registry code' but a 'vessel registry code.'
However, Sangou was not officially belonging to any military as a warship.
Therefore, it was registered as an armed 'vessel' operated by mercenaries.
Regarding this process, it was as Orega had predicted in advance, so it was not considered a particular problem.
Captain Jin was to be registered with the Mercenary Guild for identification purposes, and at the stage when the 'vessel registry code' was issued for Sangou, that procedure was being processed and not yet complete.
Even so, the reason Sangou was treated as a mercenary-operated vessel was a measure taken because, regardless of what mercenary rank would be, it was impossible for Jin not to become a guild member of the Mercenary Guild.
From here, this becomes a bit of a digression.
It may be belated, but Sangou is an 'organic artificial intelligence-equipped biological spaceship' and is a 'prototype third unit.'
Sangou is just a prototype ship, and at the time of its manufacture, it was unclear whether it would be delivered to the military.
However, it was prototyped as a ship aiming for the final mass-produced type of military vessel.
In the test voyage of the completed prototype Sangou, there was a traitor who had sold the route information in advance, which led to a problem.
Due to the leak of classified information, Sangou was attacked during its test voyage.
As a result, it ended up drifting, heavily damaged, at that place where it met Jin.
However, what is actually important in this digression is not that, but the course of events related to the names 'ship' and 'vessel.'
At the stage when the test voyage was decided, the Deltania Space Force had sent a Captain to Sangou for provisional registration.
Due to such circumstances, in Sangou's own recognition as a prototype 'ship' that was not a military 'vessel,' it considered itself a biological space 'ship.'
But, lo and behold.
Since the person provisionally registered as the highest authority during the test voyage was a military officer, the title became fixed as 'Captain' (艦長) instead of 'Captain' (船長).
This state has continued unchanged to the present, but trying to correct it would cause considerable trouble in Sangou's system.
Or rather, it is a locked part that cannot be changed without returning to the manufacturer, so it is probably better not to force it.
Putting aside the discussion of the title for the highest authority, Sangou, built with military use in mind, is a warship in terms of offensive capability.
Therefore, from Jin's perspective, emotionally, he treats it as a 'vessel,' and when thinking of Sangou in his mind, he considers it as a 'vessel.'
However, he also understands that when Sangou refers to itself, it consistently uses 'ship.'
In the first place, Jin knows the history surrounding Sangou's naming as part of the knowledge streamed into him via Sensory Wave.
Jin uses 'ship' and 'vessel' differently depending on the time and situation, but he does so intuitively and does not have a clear distinction.
That is why both 'ship' and 'vessel' appear when Jin speaks.
However, including the fact that Jin is called 'Captain' (艦長) rather than 'Captain' (船長), such things are probably just trivial details.
Therefore, this related part is nothing more than a digression.
Now, let's return from the digression to the main subject.
On its return from the thirteenth planet to the main star of the Betasia Star System, Sangou first rendezvoused with its accompanying vessel en route.
Then, together with the accompanying vessel, it temporarily docked at the spaceport in orbit of the main star.
After procedures there, at last, Sangou's vessel registry code was issued.
The issued code was assigned as BFF9999999Z.
The first B stands for Betasia.
The next F stands for Force, meaning military.
The last F stands for Free, meaning mercenary.
It was judged that 'there is a high possibility Sangou's affiliation will change in the future.'
Therefore, as a measure to allow switching to a reserved number without issue, a trailing number was given.
These are the meaning and circumstances of the vessel registry code Sangou obtained.
In any case, with this, Sangou was finally able to enter and leave port without issue, as a single vessel without an accompanying vessel.
At the spaceport while waiting for the issuance of the vessel registry code, the delivery of the rare metal ingots, the betrothal gift for the Betasia Count Household, was carried out without a hitch.
And they achieved their first departure following completely proper procedures.
In satellite orbit, Sangou entered standby.
Jin and the others left Sangou and headed for the shuttle airport in the 20-meter-class sub-unit.
(It's troublesome, so I'd like to just land directly in the Count's mansion's spacious garden, though.)
It would probably be more peaceful if no one knew of Jin's unscrupulous thoughts.
After arriving at the Count's mansion, Rouju, who was supposed to be acting as Jin's supervisor, completed a series of reports.
That Orega, whose future prospects had brightened, was so moved that he tried to hug Jin was a trivial matter.
That Rouju perfectly blocked it and also threw in an elbow strike was probably an even more trivial matter.
Orega issued restoration instructions for the twelfth and thirteenth planets one after another and needed two days to clear the related administrative affairs.
Separately from that, the application procedure for recommending Jin for a peerage had already been completed long ago, and Orega had to prepare to depart for the imperial capital to attend the enfeoffment ceremony.
And by the time these two days had passed, Jin had finished receiving a medal from Count Betasia and registering with the Imperial Mercenary Guild.
The reason the medal reception was hurried and the registration procedure at the Mercenary Guild was temporarily halted was to allow the issued license to skip starting from apprentice and be promoted.
The ranks are five: 'Apprentice,' 'Beginner,' 'Intermediate,' 'Advanced,' and 'Special,' and the middle three are further divided into upper, middle, and lower.
That is, after 'Apprentice' comes 'Beginner Lower,' resulting in something like 'Rank Beginner Lower.'
In Jin's case, because he had been awarded a medal, he was treated as 'equivalent to a retired soldier,' and since the medal was of the highest grade, 'Advanced Lower,' same as 'former high-ranking military officer,' was issued.
Not only Sangou, but Jin had finally obtained an identification document.
Now, what kind of nation is the 'Gialpha Galaxy Empire,' the authority granting Jin a peerage?
Simply put, it is 'a huge galactic empire that effectively controls about 40% of the Gialpha Galaxy.'
Incidentally, half of the remaining 60%, about 30%, is a collection of star system nations called the 'Free Democratic Alliance.'
As the names suggest, their political forms differ, and due to that, relations are bad; the Empire and the Alliance are almost constantly at war.
And the other half, about 30%, is 'undeveloped territory' belonging to neither country.
Since Orega is the recommender, he is obligated to attend the enfeoffment ceremony.
Therefore, he must accompany Jin to the 'Gialpha Star System,' the capital star system of the Empire, and to its 'fourth planet,' the capital star.
The problem then is 'how to get there?'
Normally, one would go with the Count's personal ship, the so-called flagship, accompanied by military escort vessels drawn from the territorial army.
The voyage to the imperial capital takes forty days one way.
The escort military vessels become so-called 'attendant ships,' but the 'number' or rather 'scale' of them demonstrates the noble's power and influence, simply put, it's a matter of 'appearances.'
In this case, from the perspective of 'shortening the schedule,' Orega has no choice but to choose to board Sangou.
He has no choice, but then it becomes a matter of 'appearances!'
Incidentally, according to Jin's confirmation with Sangou, it takes seven days from the Betasia Star System to the capital star at 'full speed tolerable for normal humans.'
At 'reckless full speed,' it is shortened to about half that.
Jin hasn't realized it yet, and it's something that cannot be done without experimenting, but if he were to throw everyone except himself into a shadow with Shadow Magic, it would not be impossible to move at the speed of him alone being on board.
However, there is a reason for not describing it as 'possible' here.
Because the time a normal human's mind can endure inside a shadow, excluding sleeping hours, is about half a day before reaching its limit.
Beyond that, mental abnormalities occur.
If combined with Sleep Magic, that hurdle could be cleared, but in such cases, the problem of 'whether such an idea occurs to one' always accompanies it.
In the end, after much deliberation, Orega decided to board Sangou and made the request to Jin.
In the end, it's about money.
Perhaps the truth of the world is unexpectedly something like that.
The companions were decided to be Rouju, Sutsan, Alra, and Zilfa.
Incidentally, the reason Zilfa among the maids was given priority was due to the short straw incident in Greta.
Milfa and Kilfa also submitted requests to accompany.
The reason Rouju was accompanying this time was that since the engagement was already informally decided, they would register the engagement immediately after the peerage was granted.
They would depart leaving the territory in Renju's care.
A round-trip schedule that would normally be unthinkably short, thanks to Sangou's swiftness.
Therefore, Renju, who even as acting lord found it easy, had a bright expression.
And being able to stay behind on the grounds of acting lord, thus avoiding the troublesome accompaniment of Orega to the imperial capital, was also lucky.
That was also Renju's true feeling.
Orega and Sutsan, boarding for the first time, were astonished by Sangou's comfort, and Orega even became like a spoiled child, saying 'Do something about my personal ship too!'
But it's impossible even for Sangou, so he had to give up.
Sangou arrived at the Gialpha Star System, the home star system of the Gialpha Galaxy Empire.
For the ultra-high-performance biological spaceship Sangou, the voyage from the Betasia Star System to this point was nothing much, and there were no problems along the way.
Even if there was one incident of being attacked by bandits.
Since both Sangou and Jin detected bandit-like reactions, the actual attack from those bandits was a so-called 'deliberate invitation.'
In short, the truth was that 'Sangou intentionally went to be attacked,' and they simply annihilated the bandits in an instant and took 'loot hunting' as a bit of pocket money.
And separately from that, onboard, there was a scene where Jin, trying to do something with Rouju, was caught by Orega and chased around.
Chastened by that, Jin became absorbed in training.
Rouju pouted because she was 'being ignored.'
Zilfa started saying 'Please make me a permanent live-in maid exclusively for Sangou!' and had a big argument with Alra, the head maid.
There were many other things, but they did not hinder Sangou's navigation.
There were no problems!
Chronologically, the application for the peerage recommendation, which was an ultra-long-distance communication, arrived at the imperial capital just before Sangou reached the Gialpha Star System.
Normally, if coming from the Betasia Star System on the Count's flagship, it would take about forty days to reach the imperial capital.
"There is more than twenty and less than thirty days until the deadline by which the processing of the received application must be completed. There is leeway in the processing schedule."
In other words, even if a civil official in charge of receiving the peerage recommendation application and making arrangements thought as above, it would not be incorrect under normal circumstances.
So what happened to the civil official who, citing busyness and prioritizing other matters, put off processing the peerage recommendation application submitted by Orega?
That civil official, upon the Betasia Count confirming the schedule for the peerage he himself had applied for 'in the imperial capital' at a time unexpectedly early for him, fell into a great panic.
While this was not without cause due to Sangou's speed, neither Orega nor Jin bore any responsibility whatsoever.
Orega was thoroughly resented by the responsible civil official, though.
It was a case of pure transferred resentment, but perhaps there is room for sympathy for the civil official who received a severe evaluation for a major mistake.
Thus, Hero Jin and Sangou succeeded in completing the matter of the thirteenth planet to the highest possible level, and Jin obtained identification through registration with the Mercenary Guild, while Sangou's vessel registry code acquisition was also completed without issue.
Separately, Jin also took action to receive the title of Baron from the Emperor of the Gialpha Galaxy Empire and to change his engagement with Rouju from informal to formal.
Sangou arrived at the spaceport of the fourth planet, the imperial capital planet, and Jin and the others landed on the capital planet's surface using their own 20-meter-class sub-unit.
Although they arrived safely at the capital planet, would Jin be able to smoothly become a Baron from here?
Since delays in the peerage recommendation procedure have already occurred, is the Hero's power of destiny at work?
No one knows the future, but.
Together with the head of the Betasia Count Household, treated as a passenger or something unclear, the eldest daughter, and their servants, the Hero-sama finally set foot on the capital planet of the Gialpha Galaxy Empire.
Jin, thinking such very stingy thoughts as 'the berthing fee for Sangou at the spaceport is wasteful' due to the issues of the Count's household prestige and permits related to direct atmospheric descent from Sangou or landing by sub-unit without using the spaceport, was forced to leave both options pending.
Bookmarks, support by clicking the ☆ below, comments, recommended reviews — if I could receive even one of those from you, dear readers, such a miracle would make the author weep with joy.
Now, with this work, I was able to receive my first recommended review in my writing activities on Narou.
I've written various things, but I had never received a review on the Narou site before.
So I am deeply moved.
I am overjoyed!
Thank you so much.
