Original subtitles

Get outta here.

I said move!

Your clothes.

Oh, right.

What are you going to do with her?

What should I do?

Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship!

Mimi the Girl

You're paying, by the way.

What kind of veteran makes a newbie pay for them?

It's my consulting fee.

Fine.

So, what should I do?

Well, you ignored my suggestion to ignore her.

You really suck, you treacherous, cold-blooded elf.

I'll kick your ass.

I'd like a solution that she and I can both smile about.

Are you for real?

Should I bring her onto my ship?

What's your name?

It's Mimi.

I'm Hiro. This is Elma the veteran.

Don't call me that.

Mimi, what can you do?

Do you have any skills that would be useful on a ship?

Um, what would be useful?

Fine. She can probably handle chores.

Like what, exactly?

Cooking, washing, and...

serving you at night.

Hey, that's nasty!

Where did that come from?

That was your intention, right?

Don't think with your junk, idiot!

So she's not your type?

I mean, I do think she's cute.

You walked right into that.

That's a natural response for men to have to cute girls.

That aside,

I don't think it'd be right to take advantage of my position like that.

Oh, what a gentleman.

Fine.

You're not from around here, right?

What do you mean?

She's dressed too nicely.

The only people here are mercenaries, people who do business with mercenaries,

and outcasts from society.

I see.

Will you tell us?

I lived with my parents in sector two.

My parents worked in oxygen infrastructure,

but there was an accident.

They both...

Okay, that's enough.

What about insurance? You should've gotten a big payout for the two of them.

Don't keep pressing her, you cold-blooded elf.

If you're going to look after her, you need the whole story.

Fine.

They were held responsible for the accident.

I had to pay damages, so I quit school.

I tried to work, but I couldn't find anything.

And you couldn't pay, so you came here.

If you take her in, you'll take on her debt, too.

What happens if I don't pay?

The moment you leave, you'll become wanted for shirking your debt.

I see.

U-Um...

I'll do anything. I can learn to work.

Please let me onto your ship.

There's no decent work here.

Even a child would know what'll happen if I leave her behind.

Well, I already made my decision when I pulled the trigger.

Okay, let's go.

What?

How can I help you?

I'm here to pay my dues.

Y-Yes, sir.

Hi.

How'd it go?

All together, it was 500,000 ener.

I paid in cash.

Nice. Like a true mercenary.

A change of clothes. I picked something out for you.

Th-Thank you.

Also...

I sent you the bill.

What? You're not paying for it?

Don't expect handouts.

That was a good way to kill some time.

Good luck with the rest, newbie.

Thanks.

Thank you.

You can use this room.

Are you sure?

Of course.

Okay.

I'll fill you in on all the ship's rules later.

Take it easy today.

Oh, but don't come on to the bridge without asking.

Um, I'm sorry about all of this.

I'd rather you thank me.

What?

We're going to be living together.

Don't be shy.

O-Okay.

Thank you.

Well, later.

What is it?

Um, where are you going?

To make us something to eat. You're hungry, aren't you?

I'll help.

Don't worry about it.

This artificial meat is good.

Elma knows some nice shops.

You don't like it?

No, it's very good.

Did I give you too much?

No, this is fine.

Th-Thank you for the meal.

You're welcome.

Now then.

Wh-What will you do now?

Hit the training room.

You lose muscle in space.

I see.

You can get some rest.

I'd better get equipment for Mimi, too.

I'll check out some shops tomorrow.

Um, can I come in?

Sure.

U-Um...

Wait, why?

I came to perform my duties.

Your duties?

I'm not going to force you to do that nonsense.

But...

But this is all I can do for you.

I wouldn't mind doing it with you.

Mr. Hiro...

It's all right.

What is?

I took medicine.

Ms. Elma said it would make my first time not hurt.

She got me this lingerie, too.

Damn that disappointing elf.

Do you not want me?

That's not the issue here. Really.

I'm doing this for me.

This is all I can do.

But I thought if I did this, you wouldn't abandon me.

Oh, I see.

It's okay. I won't abandon you.

You won't put me at ease?

I'll be as gentle as I can.

Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship!

You'd better take responsibility for her

Shut up.

Responsibility, huh?

Oh, right. We don't have soda.

Good morning.

Morning.

Well?

It's good.

Then let's get it.

Um, I'm sorry.

I told you. No more "sorry."

Um, are you sure? This is so expensive.

So is this.

You're part of my crew. It's a necessary expense.

Welcome to the Tarmein Prime mercenary guild.

I've got a newbie.

It's nice to meet you.

Huh?

What the hell are you doing back here already?

It's a long story.

Then tell me the whole thing.

Oh, okay.

You picked up an orphan on your first day as a mercenary

and made her part of your crew?

Are you serious?

I've been a mercenary for fifteen years, and that's never happened to me!

Whoa.

U-Um...

This isn't fair! I want to meet someone, too—

My apologies.

It's fine.

She'd like to register, correct?

Yes.

I'd like to make her an operator. Is that possible?

We have instructional software. I'll send it to you.

Thanks.

Please enter your name here.

Rejoice. They found the space pirate base.

We're launching a large-scale extermination now.

I appreciate you all coming here on such short notice.

I am Lieutenant Serena Holz.

I'll be commanding this mission.

A lieutenant, huh?

Without further ado, I'll begin the mission briefing.

We've determined the space pirates are lurking in a Gamma Sector asteroid belt.

Our fleet will begin by opening fire on them.

And we'll mop up anyone who tries to get away.

You know how this works?

Yeah. Space pirate ships are small and quick.

It'd be hard for a military fleet to corner them all.

But a quick ship like ours can catch up to them.

I see.

That's all. Any questions?

I've got one.

Go ahead.

Are we allowed to retreat?

Of course. Feel free to do so if you think the reward is insufficient.

Though what happens to your reputation after that is none of our concern.

I just wanted to secure an escape route.

I don't want anyone at my back forcing me to fight to the death.

This formation would allow you to do that.

Am I wrong?

You are not. But I, Serena Holz, swear I will not let that happen.

Any other questions?

Since you asked, yes.

Who gets the pirates' stuff?

Whoever destroys their ship, of course.

Thank you.

Mimi, are you okay?

I-I'm fine.

What's your job?

Um, track enemy and ally positions using radar and alert you as necessary.

What else?

Intercept enemy and ally communications to gather information

and handle messages sent to this ship.

One more thing.

Make it back alive.

Yes, sir.

What a pretty ship.

That's one helluva ship.

What's strange about it?

That's the SSC-16 Galactic Swan, AKA the White Meteor.

It's specialized for high-speed flight, but it's almost impossible to control.

A lot of people have turned into meteors and vanished on that thing.

What?

Who'd be cocky enough to pilot that?

What? Um, what?

We're in position.

Begin the attack!

Damn it! What the hell is this?

We're going to lose all the treasure we hoarded!

Run, run!

Feel free to use your radios again. Begin the mission.

Go, go, go!

Don't let a single ship escape!

Let's go.

Y-Yes, sir.

F-Four ships ahead.

Roger.

Mimi.

All four ships have been destroyed.

Keep it up.

This area's been cleaned up.

How's the battle?

Overall, we appear to be winning.

But the enemy has a number of mid-sized ships.

They seem to be struggling against those.

Can you bring them up?

Yes. Um, like this?

Mid-sized lasers and close-range defense turrets.

We don't need to fight them head-on.

Mimi, it's gonna get a little cold, but deal with it, okay?

What? Yes, sir.

We can't get close!

We're gonna get worn down and lose!

Damn it!

Wh-What was that?

What just happened?

Where'd he come from?

Why didn't they notice us?

This area is filled with debris, making standard radar useless.

So everyone uses heat sensors instead,

which means running your generator as low as possible makes you hard to detect.

That's amazing, Mr. Hiro!

In the game, we called it thermal stealth. I guess it works here, too.

He's no ordinary mercenary.

How many remain?

90% of enemy ships have gone dark.

We've begun disarming the remaining ships.

Declare the mission over.

No!

That voice...

What the hell is going on?!

Why can't I control this thing?!

U-Um, what do we do?

Once they lose control, there's nothing that can be done.

There isn't a ship that can catch up to that thing.

But...

G-Get out of the way!

What's the damage?

Minor damage to hull one.

It won't affect our mobility.

Confirming the vitals of the crashed pilot.

She's alive.

I see.

Send her the bill after rescuing her.

Yes, ma'am.

The mission is over.

All vessels, return to base.

Between the pay from the army, the reward for the pirates,

and the materials we salvaged...

We made a decent amount.

You seem to be enjoying yourself.

Well, I risked my life for this.

And I found something interesting.

Is there anything you want?

No, you've already given me plenty.

What about you?

Are you doing this job with some kind of goal in mind?

A goal?

I just wanted to enjoy life.

Now I have something to protect.

The Krishna is nice, but I'd like someplace I can kick back.

What is it?

Come to think of it, I think I heard

there's no soda in space because of gravity and pressure.

I've made my decision.

I'm gonna buy a detached family home with a yard on a planet!

That's a splendid goal!

Elma
