Exactly. He knows there's opportunity in being close to someone with connections and money, but not too close until he gets dragged into her sphere of influence and potentially loses his freedom to do as he likes.Pretty smart of Hiro to get the noble chick to pay him for the honour of being his backup in this fight
This pussy better be worth the 10 lightyears of annoyances they have to deal with for this bitch
I mean in the novel his harem grows again pretty soon iirc, and he is actively sleeping with Elma at this point. What this does do is pay very well and I believe affect his mercenary rank VERY VERY soonThis pussy better be worth the 10 lightyears of annoyances they have to deal with for this bitch
His dream is to have a planet-side home, something that's impossible for "commoners" (Living on space stations is the norm, there's not enough habitable planets, and using them for housing is a waste). She plans to provide that to him, as well as, political backing (Note, as of current translated novel, she's still studying to take over her families territory, so he hasn't received it yet). So yeah, it's worth it.
Iirc, this whole endeavour ends up with him participating in some trial soon after delivering Chris, some heavy story shit involving Mimi happens and gets resolved, and then he takes a trial of some sort to get a mercenary promotion, right?
Not in the LN, he gets reward (cash + family medallion), then there's filler where they go to Ferrexe (sentient animals) homeworld. The next major story arc is buying a mothership and adding the dwarves in harem. After that it's the war against Crystal Lifeforms, defeating the mother. Then volume 6 ends with him heading to awards ceremony in capital. Mimi's stuff hasn't been covered yet, we just know she's searching for her grandmother who might be a noble. I don't recall him having to do merc promotion exam.
Everything from the WN is still intact, the LN just adds maybe an extra chapter or two for each arc.Wooow, really? I didn't think they would change a whole lot in the LN from the WN. Iirc, the whole Mimi debacle occurs when she gets recognized by royalty/nobility after they deliver Chris. Also at some point after the promotion thing they acquire a big ol ship (I forget the ship class) as well as some cute lil dwarf engineers. I should really reread the WN because I love the setting of this.
