What Do You Mean I'm The Captain Of A Yandere Mercenary Company?

Chapter 648: The Silent Mining Station

It took us about a day to reach the system that the station was located in.

The station itself was located within an asteroid field like Franz had told us but there was one problem with that...

”Mmm... Doesn’t seem like there is a path that we can fit through to get there, Daddy...” The blue haired Renata seated at the pilot’s seat reported.

Yeah... The station seemed to be built in the middle of the asteroid field itself which meant that there were rocks floating all around the station.

It seems like they had built it there specifically so that the rocks form a natural barricade against attackers.

I did suggest blowing the rocks up but Ries told me that since this was a mining area, it would be frowned upon to destroy the asteroids as it’s akin to blowing up a mine shaft.

I tried to ask Renata to search for any possible space for our ship to squeeze through but as expected, there was none.

”Well then... Are we at least able to contact the station though?” I asked.

Yumiko turned back from where she was seated at the communications terminal, ”I have been trying, Mistress. But there has been no response so far.”

”Guess it’s not a case of their long range communications being down then... Anything on the scanners?”

Amber looked up from the map terminal, ”As far as I can tell, I don’t see any ships circling the station.”

”Chances of ships just hiding amongst the rocks and waiting to ambush us?”

”Pretty high.”

Great...

I turned to Renata, ”Let’s just take a risk... Initiate a wide area pulse scan and see if we get anything. Lea, be prepared to return fire at anything that reacts to that.”

”Yes, Daddy!”

”Already prepared, Mistress.”

Renata initiated the scan and I watched the screen as a high energy pulse was sent out from our ship.

Any radars or scanning equipment would be giving out warning alarms when this pulse reaches them so this might cause some people to react instinctively and reveal their own locations which would appear in our scan.

The screen that was showing the map of the area around our ship showed the pulse as a circle expanding outwards.

If there’s anything, it will show up as dots on the map so I was watching for that to appear.

But even when the circle reached the end of the map, nothing popped up.

”Nothing?” I asked, just in case I missed something.

Amber shook her head, ”Not even a blip.”

”What about the scans of the station?”

”Power seems to be online. Life support systems are also online as well.”

I leaned back in my chair, ”Alright then... I guess we’ll have to go in with the Verlandi. Should we all go together?”

Everyone seemed to be in favour of sticking together while Renata watched over the main ship.

Amber also decided to take her ship along as well just in case I needed a wingwoman in a dogfight.

We dispersed to make our own preparations to board the Verlandi since we don’t know how long we might need to stay in that station.

I was going to pack a few extra clothes and bring some supplies as well so I went over to my room first to pack the clothes I was planning to bring along.

Since Renata was the only one amongst us who didn’t need to pack clothes, she went ahead to the kitchen to bring along some food supplies that she will store on the Verlandi.

While there were already supplies on the Verlandi, they’re mostly emergency supplies just in case we had to evacuate the Iridescence in the event of the ship being destroyed or something. Which meant that the food supplies stored on that ship were mostly non-perishable foods and not fresh stuff that we all like.

I trusted her to get them since she has helped me in food preparation before so she should know what to bring along.

Entering my room, I slid open the closet to start packing my clothes when I noticed something.

Hmm? Some of my clothes seemed to have been moved?

I usually place the clothes I would often wear on one side of the closet while the clothes that I don’t usually wear on the other side... But now it looks like the clothes have been mixed up?

Ehh... I guess one of my girls came here to rummage through my clothes for some reason I suppose...

Wouldn’t even be the first time that happened so I just ignored it and took out some of the clothes to pack them in a bag.

I also changed what I was wearing into a more practical set of clothes since I was basically wearing pyjamas before this as I wasn’t expecting to leave the ship so soon.

Hey, I wasn’t the only one, ok? Lea was literally seated at the weapons terminal in her underwear!

We’ve already gotten comfortable enough around each other that we no longer care about this, ok?

As I put on the clothes, I paused and looked down at myself.

Am I getting fat? The clothes feel a little bit more snug than usual...

No wait... The tightness is coming from the chest and butt area... Did my boobs and butt get bigger?

Ugh... Please don’t tell me that I’m still growing...

I quickly finished dressing up before taking the bag of clothes along to head towards the armoury.

Amber was already there and she was packing her pistols and her spare magazines when she spotted me.

”Oh hey Tera~ That was quick~” She grinned.

”I could say the same to you. I’m not expecting us to stay longer than a few days at most so I don’t think we need to prepare that much stuff.”

”Ehhh~ It looks like you’re bringing quite a lot to me though? I only brought along a spare set since we can just do laundry in your ship anyway~”

That is true.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve flown the Verlandi so I hope my skills haven’t gotten rusty...

I went ahead to arm myself as well before heading over to my ship to drop the stuff.

Once that was done, I headed over to the workshop at the back to put on the Power Armour with Ries’s help before walking with her back to the Verlandi.

I wasn’t planning on going in with it but it didn’t hurt to have it prepared on the ship just in case we needed it.

With the Power Armour stored in the storage room of the Verlandi, I took my place in the pilot seat and powered up the ship as I waited for the other girls to board as well.

”Daddy~ Daddy~” Renata called out, skipping happily into the cockpit. ”Everything’s all in place~ Sisters are also putting away their stuff in the other rooms~”

”Perfect then. Are we ready to launch?”

”Ehehehe~ Whenever you are ready, Daddy~”

”Will you be alright watching over this ship on your own?”

”Of course, Daddy! There’s five of me in the ship right now so it won’t be a problem~ They can handle the ship just fine~”

I didn’t even know that there were five of her right now... Though I suppose it’s more because of the fact that I still see the split bodies of her as Renata herself and not a different person even if the had completely different hair colours.

I also noticed that recently she had also began customising the maid uniforms that she wears and all her split bodies would also wear different variations of maid uniforms.

Like the blue haired version of her had been wearing what I assumed to be a cross between a kimono and a maid uniform while the purple haired Renata in front of me was wearing the french maid version.

I realised that she was trying to figure out which type of maid uniform would make me want to stop her in the corridor and rail her against the wall so I decided not to say anything about it.

A notification for a call came from my console panel and I answered it, prompting a screen to appear showing Amber’s face.

”I’m ready to launch Tera~ What about your side?”

Lea came in right at that moment to stop behind Renata, ”Mistress. We’re ready.”

I nodded, ”Alright, let’s go then. Renata, open the hangar bay doors.

She did a cute salute, ”Right away Daddy~”

The doors below my ship started to slide open which most likely was thanks to her blue haired counterpart that we left on the bridge activating them.

I started up my ship’s engines and checked that all lights were green for launch.

Doing a final check to make sure the ship’s boarding ramp was properly stowed away and that the girls were all on board, I flipped the switch to detach the Verlandi from the hangar bay.

”The Verlandi, heading out!”

This would be so much cooler if it was the Exo-Knight though...
