“Captain Ingrid. Get closer to Catherine’s fleet.“

“I sent a signal. Wait here.“

“Already? As expected, this is Captain Ingrid.“

Captain Ingrid, who freely handled the entire fleet, took over the work done by the soldiers.

No, it was not a substitute, but the work was faster and neater if he did it himself rather than giving orders to the soldiers.

Several soldiers tried to follow Captain Ingrid, but they always failed spectacularly. Rather, their respect only grew upon seeing her genius talent.

“Captain, the connection port for the Catherine Central Fleet has been opened. A small ship appears.“

Captain Ingrid did not join someone else’s fleet.

He felt burdened, thinking that the fleet was his territory and someone else’s territory.

So, to meet Captain Ingrid, we only approached in a small ship like this, did our business, and then parted ways.

[I didn’t know you would come in person. Captain Ingrid.]

[You knew it would come. Captain Joan of Arc]

[Hehe..]

The small ship on board of Captain Joan of Arc and the small fleet of Captain Ingrid were already connected by phone.

[You probably have it, right?]

[You’ve come a long way. Of course I took it.]

On the holographic screen, Captain Joan of Arc lifted the mechanical device on her palm.

[I’ll move on to that. Captain Ingrid.]

[no. Just pack it in a supply box and hand it over.]

[…okay. It’s been a while since I wanted to see you up close. It’s still the same.]

[I’m busy so send it quickly. Captain Joan of Arc.]

He didn’t know why he was so busy, but he acted stiff even when he met his old colleague for the first time in a long time.

[I’m ready. Meet me in the middle.]

[uh.]

Captain Ingrid looked at the adjutant next to her.

“Go down and get it.“

“Okay. Captain.“

The adjutant next to her nodded and moved.

And not long after, his adjutant and Joan of Arc’s medical staff met on the hologram screen.

After receiving the box wrapped in a metal box, we returned to each other’s small ship.

[The item was well received. Captain Joan of Arc.]

[Please study well. That power could threaten the fleets on the front lines.]

[It won’t take long.]

[..Hey Ing..]

[then..]

-Hwiiing.

Captain Ingrid, who received the mechanical device, hung up the phone call of Captain Joan of Arc, who was about to say his last words, and set off the small fleet.

“…”

Captain Joan of Arc looked at her small fleet leaving.

“Heh..huh.. Captain Ingrid. Next time we meet, let’s talk face to face. No. Looking at your body too..“

Captain Joan of Arc smiled darkly and turned the head of the small ship towards Catherine’s fleet.

***

The small fleet with Captain Ingrid on board quickly returned to its maintenance fleet.

-Gooo…

The approaching maintenance fleet was different in scale from the other combat unit fleets.

The buildings built into the gold of the superspace were so huge and magnificent that it felt like a small city planet.

In fact, it was a huge station fleet so lively that not only maintenance soldiers but also ordinary people stayed here.

This scene was possible because it was not a fighting fleet, but a maintenance fleet located in the rear.

“Captain, we have arrived at the maintenance fleet.“

“I will look into this. Do your business.“

“Are you going to go down to the maintenance room right away?“

“Uh. I know so. Because the troublesome work is over now. I won’t be coming out of the maintenance room for a while.“

“Okay. Then..“

Captain Ingrid headed to her private maintenance room carrying a well-packed box.

Captain Ingrid’s personality was that she didn’t like being around people and liked to be alone.

Even though Ingrid has the disadvantage of being sociable, you can see how genius and amazing she is as a female captain.

-Jiying.

Captain Ingrid came down to the maintenance room and placed a metal box on a table littered with various parts and mechanical equipment.

-Ding..Ding..

-It has been released.

The metal box was unpacked and the contents inside were revealed.

“Is this it? The item found within the celestial body fleet…“

Captain Ingrid lifts a suspicious metal device with her bare hands.

“The feel.. isn’t bad. It’s fascinating.“

Captain Ingrid liked the cold, hard feel of metal rather than human skin.

“How was metal synthesized? I want to ask the perforator.“

Captain Ingrid was a soldier fighting to protect his planet.

But at the same time, I had a lot of questions about the sky body.

Their ability to freely manipulate numerous machines and create new materials that they have never seen before is not a big deal.

[Ha..Captain! There is a problem!]

[…]

[Captain Ingrid!!]

[Sigh… Because I’m listening.]

[A major fire broke out on the top floor of the space building! The soldiers are blocking it as much as possible…! The fire is getting bigger and bigger…!]

[…What kind of firefighter am I? And you think the maintenance fleet is a toy!?]

[Sorry… sorry. Captain..! The flames were so strong… there was damage…!]

From now on, it’s my favorite time, but I can’t believe it’s being interrupted.

Captain Ingrid looked very displeased, but she was not a bad captain.

[Find the people who built the building and hold them accountable.]

[thank you! Captain..!]

It was Captain Ingrid leaving the equipment room on the table and leaving.

The maintenance room became so quiet.

-Ugh…

The mechanism began to emit blue light and something began to appear.

-Uuuuung..!

That’s the shape of a person…

Looking closely…

“Force confirmation. You have arrived at the specified coordinates. Park Ja-geun.“

“This is the maintenance fleet?“

It was like that.

The mechanical device of this sky body was a jump portal device that could jump a considerable distance in space in response to the power of the Force.

“It looks like you used some sort of summoning app?“

“That’s right. The technology was applied.“

“Awesome. Aphrodite~“

I placed my palm on Aphrodite’s head and stroked it.

“Please touch me more. Park Ja-geun. I feel so good.“

“Hehe.. Of course~“

Although the room was filled with the smell of oil and metal, Aphrodite was happy.

“Captain Ingrid…isn’t there?“

“I think I moved to extinguish the fire I created through hacking.“

“I’ll be back soon.“

“Yes, the fire will be taken care of in no time with her Force powers.“

“Good. Well then.. let’s get started.“

“Yes, we will make this maintenance room similar to the Catherine cafeteria as planned.“

“Then, I will find out what kind of woman Captain Ingrid is.“

In order to attract Captain Ingrid, we came up with a plan.

Captain Ingrid is a mechanical otaku and hikikomori.

So he never joined someone else’s fleet.

If that’s the case… we’ll go find it ourselves.

Of course, it was clear that if I just visited them, they would deny me entry and get kicked out, so I planned to sneak in like this.

The result was success.

I thought all I had to do was find a way to slowly seduce her.

“It’s really dark and gloomy here.“

“She looks different from an ordinary woman.“

“You said machines are better than people… Hmm… Should I just cosplay as a machine spirit or something and seduce him? Huhu.“

“There is no way a captain-level person would be immune to something like that.“

“Haha.. right?“

I had a lot of fun with Aphrodite, talking about various ridiculous methods.

“Park Ja-geun.“

“Mmmmm~ Yes, Aphrodite.“

“She arrived.“

“Yes? Already!?“

I thought I would have time to look around this large maintenance room, but no.

“What about Aphrodite’s mental weakening!?“

“Only about 9% can be activated.“

“There is no chin. For now, let’s hide.“

I used transformation and used invisibility magic with extreme blood magic.

With the mechanical device, Captain Ingrid, who has the Force, will quickly catch you.

She hid her body and presence with magical powers of which she had no knowledge.

I tried this method. Catherine and Joan of Arc did not recognize him.

-Jiing.

Just as the timing was right, the maintenance room door opened and Captain Ingrid, wearing a uniform, walked in.

“Wow.. it’s prettier in real life.“

“Yes, she is a good girl. You deserve to have your child.“

“Keuhm.. From the first meeting to the child..”

She seemed like a cold city girl with an expressionless face.

When I saw him with short black hair…

It’s like a bit of a mixture of the robot world’s female pilot Supitie and Professor Scarlett.

Of course, compared to the two, Captain Ingrid was taller, so the atmosphere was completely different, but… she was a completely attractive beauty.

“…“

As soon as Captain Ingrid entered the maintenance room, she immediately stood in front of the machinery.

“How far did you go.. That’s right.. The feel of the material is not bad.. Umm..“

The captain continued to fiddle with the device and seemed to enjoy it like a true mechanical otaku.

“Park Ja-geun.“

“Yes, Aphrodite.“

“The machine spirit you were talking about.“

“Yes, yes.“

“That may be the correct answer.“

“? That’s it?”

“Didn’t you seduce her with an invisible spirit among the methods you used with the elf married woman Milshoe before?“

“That’s right..“

“This time we are going to the invisible machine spirit.“

“…?“

Aphrodite, who resembles me, suddenly suggested a strange method.

“Why.. such a method..“

“I feel all machines. The same goes for the mechanical devices we made. Captain Ingrid does not simply like mechanical devices, but has a goodwill that only comes out when dealing with people.“

“What..what?!“

I was surprised.

Captain Ingrid’s attachment to machines was extremely strong.

“No way.. a severe mechanical otaku..“

“I can feel your sincerity towards her. Park Ja-geun. Like the love you send to me.“

“Crazy..“
