I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary

ly be ten times that or more.”

“My word……”

After hearing Elma and my comments, the man couldn’t hide his astonishment.
The best-in-class regular power armors out on the market can generally reach up to 100,000 Enels.
If you didn’t mind second-hand goods, you can get one for as low as 10,000.
Considering those prices, 200,000 Enels does sound comparatively expensive.
If you brought out that much, you can buy two of the latest high-performance mass-produced power armors, and if you went for standard quality ones, you can get four or five.
If you turned a blind eye to overall quality, you can even supply ten people with power armors easily with that much.

“That’s why you don’t have to worry about our budget.
So I’m gonna have to ask you to provide me with the very best, alright?”

“Understood.
Unexpectedly, this is turning out to be a pretty significant deal.”

After saying so, the man displayed a genuinely happy smile.

“The basic functions of our products are much the same with regular power armors.
In other words, they protect your body and will allow you to obtain enough strength to move around unimpeded even while wearing such heavy equipment.
Depending on the requirements, we may also add a jump unit, optical camouflage function, or equip the armor with additional fixed weaponry.”

The man operated his tablet terminal and showed us various power armor designs through the holo-display on the table.
Every power armor model he showed us looked fairly sleeker than regular commercial power armors.

“They’re all pretty slim compared to regular ones.”

“Because they are made to closely fit the wearer’s body.
Normal commercial power armors can generally be worn by people with different physiques without much trouble, but that doesn’t go for custom-made power armors like the ones we offer.
In other words, they are completely tailored to their user alone.”

“I see.
It looks like you’d find it difficult to equip them if your physique suddenly develops drastically.”

The most likely example is when one gets fatter.
Well, I don’t think I need to worry about that because I regularly exercise.
And I’m long past my growth period, so it’s not like I’m gonna get any taller.

“The bodies of nobles don’t really suffer from such drastic changes, so we do not have to worry about such a thing.”

“One of the benefits of enhancement treatments, I suppose……”

“……Hiro-sama, I want to undergo enhancement treatment.”

Mimi looked at Elma’s slim and sexy waist and muttered enviously.
Mimi was constantly putting in a lot of effort when working out.
At first, she wasn’t strong enough to complete five reps of push-ups, but now she can do twenty easily with plenty to spare.
Her overall exercise intensity now should be incomparable to when she just started out.
Mimi was very serious about losing weight, but I think she’s fine as is.
Or rather, I’d like it if she had a bit more flesh in some places…… Ahem.
Let’s drop the topic of Mimi’s body shape for now.

“Since they are used by nobles, they should be tuned for wielding swords, right?”

“Yes.
We are constantly applying the latest technologies in order to ensure that the movements of each and every joint will not be impeded and can remain as natural as possible.
So you plan on wielding swords as well, I suppose.”

“Yeah, that’s right.
I have a combat-use power armor, but it’s not suited for swinging swords around.
I need one that allows precision movements.”

“Certainly, regular power armors can’t allow one to perform sword techniques that require fine control and precise movements.
I’m sure you’ll be very satisfied with our products then.”

The guy was pretty confident.
I wonder what I’d do if I spent so much money and still end up with something unusable.

“So, how does the order process go?”

“First, we will decide on general specifications, then we will have to take your measurements and trace your body movements.”

“Trace my movements?”

“Yes.
We have to trace your combat movements in advance so we can input the motion data to the armor for greater assistance.
Doing so will increase the armor’s overall efficiency.”

“I see.”

I kinda get it but don’t at the same time.
Well, if that will make the armor more useful, then let’s do it then.
Anyway, we have to decide on the specifications first.
