Mezametara Saikyou Soubi to Uchuusen-mochi datta node, Ikkodate Mezashite Youhei to shite Jiyuu ni Ikitai - Vol. 12 Ch. 60

[Vsmit]

and a perfectly ordinary middle-class commoner.

Ah, yes. Perfectly ordinary.

 

[BlackAeronaut]

However, the extra flash from Mei on pg. 26 is a welcome one.

D'oh gawd, how did I not notice that? That sure as hell puts Hiro's comment of "What's with that pole?" in a whole new light!

Seriously, all the naughty manga around here must be desensitizing me.

As for how she was able to hide it? Well, nanotech is a thing in this setting, so it would make sense if all of her melee weapons can "collapse" so she can more easily keep them hidden. (After all, the perfect combat maid will always appear to be unarmed.)

 

[InsaneAwesomeTony]

Thanks for the chapter 🙏🏼

 

[OWMWO]

Hold da fuck up.. where did she pull that STICK from??

And a reminder about a 'forgotten' polite lines, THAT'S INTERESTING or INTERESTING PICK or anything sounds similar, it means it is not up to the person GOOD standard, AKA polite way to say YOU SUCK!!
Good joke from author to show how Mei is very polite.

Yes, and even that niche is concentrated pretty heavily in the upper echelons of society, particularly amongst nobles.

Something like jousting yes.

 

[Salfaro]

Feel like this is gunning straight for a "Hiro and Elma have to get married" plot, but the question's whether her dad's gonna insta-approve or not (since Hiro's much more decorated than he thinks he is)

 

[tonie]

Let me guess, you have spoilers from another source of the story? No spoilers please

I'll bonk anyone forgetting about spoiler tags just to let you know so you better not touch any of them, no matter how curious you are.

 

[MNickWS]

I can't say for certain but...
SPOILER...

Ahha... typical Feddies. Just like Gundam Seed's Earth Federation. Bringing in experiments to battle.

 

[MisterMemeDaddy]

Pour one out for my homie, the victim of yet another dogshit anime adaptation

 

[jujariharo]

due the lack of need of a exhaust port open holes or conventional areas can be used as storage

 

[Lenasien]

I had figured Mimi was the one that was secretly imperial nobility, unbeknownst to her. That might still happen, but it feels redundant, with Elma now.

Spoiler: Just in case, albeit it's not spoiler actually

Don't worry, Mimi part will be short. The reasons is..... Her trauma before meet Hiro, she want to favor her savior as well. So chained with Royalty is not what she desired
Elma part will have another story since Hiro & co. Will visit Elma's homeland and seeking carbonated drinks

It's actually a nice joke in this series' case when Hiro wanted to stay away from nobles, to avoid getting tied into their power plays and politics, in order to remain an unfettered mercenary. Instead he's associating with them all the time, receiving awards granted by nobles/royals, and even his harem turns out to include a noble daughter. Or possibly two.

Well, his new job branch is Escort and Transportation. So meeting another noble seema highly

 

[Tatsuya-Kai]

Ahha... typical Feddies. Just like Gundam Seed's Earth Federation. Bringing in experiments to battle.

UC feddies were even worse, so much so that the current gundam anime movie trilogy, hathaway's flash going through theaters shows just how corrupt the federation is, if zeta gundam didn't as well.

There's a reason why there's a not so small group of people who actually prefer zeon over the federation in the uc timeline.

 

[rando007]

waa, Unicron is infected with organics

 

[zz2000]

Not a Dyson sphere... It's lit by their Sun , their Sun is not inside it...
It's more like Coruscant, by the look of it.

Based on the LN's description of the capital planet as an ecumenopolis, I also envisioned it as resembling Coruscant.

Those were the good old days, compared to what’s happening in the novella right now. (Superpowers including lightning and mind reading, a psionic ship that’s essentially pointless to fight, and the author keeps throwing new girls at the protagonist in bunches, making the relationships completely meaningless—the latest batch includes three robot maids, plus another one (eldtich AI - mother of Mei), and I suspect a princess who comes complete with four bodyguards.)

Somehow I'm not surprised, considering the novel writing's (PG) horny impulses.

Spoiler

Although I wished the author would have brought in some (somewhat) exotic-looking aliens into the harem to spice things up, like the ones from games like Mass Effect.

they surely fucked like rabbits after that talk

 

[finalm]

He's already specialized as a pilot. Sword fighting in this setting sounds very niche so it's not something to learn without reason and even then you won't catch up with people who have studied it for years. Heck, he couldn't even legally carry it until recently. It's like me telling you to learn sword fighting irl because you might need it at 0.01% probability, but you can't usually have it on you legally.

Between the cybernetic enahancments and the techno-swords abilities, trained swordsmen are fucking Jedi there. Recall that they already fought one such noble and it was anything but a cakewalk, even with the mech.

 

[finalm]

The Empire didn't exist in SOL, and he didn't recognize the system names. The only reason he "knew" where the Mother Crystal was is because Pulsars aren't very common stars, and they figured that they were close to the origin point already.

Pulsars are fairly common IRL though. Enough that they are considered a candidate for the source of most high energy cosmic rays, which are ubiquitous in the Universe.

chapter 60 covers Web novel chapters 168 to 171 / the light novel vol. 6 epilogue and Light novel vol 7 prologue, chapter 1: the truth about Elma, and chapter 2: to the Capital. this manga chapter play out a lot differently than both the wn and ln; they left out a part where Elma talks about Her and Mimi needing Dress for when Hiro gets the gold star when they are all talking at the start of this chapter, oddly the writer change it to where she doesn't said anything.
also Hiro start his sword train after all of them are done talking but before he talks to Elma about her past.
Mei was lot more aggressive with Hiro's training to the point of broking his bones and had him cough up blood.
they skip all of the prologue because the start of a new vol. and its were Hiro's girls reintroduced and was replace with Elma thing about her past. one of the parts prologue where Serena call Hiro about how his sword training is coming along. That then wakes him up just after he fell asleep from an all-nighter on bridge because Mei needed time in her pod. and catching him his underwear. this is from the Wn verson be low

I was woken up by a call.

I rose out of bed after getting annoyed by the loud electronic ringtone and operated the terminal to top the ringing while fighting the urge to go right back to sleep.

“Ugeh.”

I opened my heavy lids and let out a groan the moment I read the name of the caller. I honestly wanted to just ignore her, but there will probably be really scary consequences later on if I did that…… And so, I resigned to my fate and pushed the receive icon.

『Good morni– Just what kind of outfit do you think you’re wearing?』

A projection of a red-eyed, blonde-haired beauty appeared and lit up the dim room. I wanted to ask if that was how she greeted people in the morning but refrained. She was slightly transparent and glowing, but it’s not like she’s a ghost or something. This room has a hologram device installed, so utilizing it, a life-size image of her got projected inside the room after the signal bypassed several layers of thick hull plating, with outer space in between.

“I always only wear boxers when I go to sleep. If you don’t want to see me nearly naked with only my underpants on, then at least don’t call me directly so early in the morning and contact Mei first so I can have some time to get dressed.”

『Don’t you think it’s quite late in the day already? You call this early?』

I waved my hand dismissively at the squinting beauty in front of me.

“Mei is usually the one who handles it, but she also needs her periodic maintenance y’see…… So I ended up on night watch yesterday and stood awake until early morning.”

After saying so, I let out a big yawn and turned to her life-size hologram once more.

“So, what’s your business with me today, Commander Serena Holz?”

After glaring at me, who was still a bit out of it due to lack of sleep, she displayed a strained smile.

『I’m still a Lieutenant Commander, you know.』

Capital planet "Grakius" is a ecumenopolis or what they call planet-city. it's like planets from Star Wars planet Coruscant, from dune planet Giedi Prime, and from transformers planet Cybertron. if I'm right the big white dot on Grakius is the imperial palace

Spoiler

this is the cover for vol. 7 of the light novel,

 

[Llangion]

The capital looks like some sort of artificial hive world of some kind. Maybe its a giant ship in its own right?

 

[S0LUS]

To be completely honest, current Hiro is pretty damn powerless compared to what post-awakening Hiro can do.

post-awakening Hiro is terrifying & it's funny enough to make me not even care about the utter destruction of any semblance of stakes and challenge in the story. Bro becomes Starkiller from The Force Unleashed (as step 1!) & then goes so much Farther Beyond even his fucking ship gets a Super Saiyan form, & it's fucking delightful lmao

Those were the good old days, compared to what’s happening in the novella right now. (Superpowers including lightning and mind reading, a psionic ship that’s essentially pointless to fight, and the author keeps throwing new girls at the protagonist in bunches, making the relationships completely meaningless—the latest batch includes three robot maids, plus another one (eldtich AI - mother of Mei), and I suspect a princess who comes complete with four bodyguards.)

you forgot the fox girl(s)/ancient minor deity lol

it's so bad that it wrapped around to being awesome again lol. it's like the only lessons the author took away from his other series are that 1) the MC needs to be banging every single sentient female(-shaped) being he lays eyes on (and he has zero say in the matter, they're going to fuck him whether he knows it's happening or not), & 2) he should be so obscenely powerful that nothing could possibly get in the way of the previous goal. It's fucking ridiculous & it took me a while to warm up to the change to godhood from "guy who's just really good at shooting things (whether he's holding a gun or a flight stick) & is doing really well for himself despite all the adversity he encounters" but imo at this point just going along for the ride makes it worth it just to see how far the author's gonna take this shit

 

[Banana_66]

Thank u always for ur great work...
^^...

Patched up planet? Artificial planet? Dying planet?
@.@...

It’s a word that basically no one use except in Starwars or Stellaris.
It’s an “ecumenopolis” basically a city planet, the whole planet is one city, covered completely by structures, imagine “arcology” but a whole planet.
Example being Starwars capital Coruscant
