Ganersam volume 1

Chapter 19

Riko turned the ship on. The ship's engines sprang back to life, and we felt a little push as the ship took off. Turning around, Riko flew the ship toward the oncoming cargo ship.

"I'm entering stealth mode."

Flicking through the switches in the cockpit, Riko turned off the lights. The ship's interior went dark. Other than the blue lines glowing on the floor, with the pale moonlight shining through the windows, there were no other lights inside.

The ship was silent, with only the sounds of the engines coming in, giving me some time to think stuff over.

I still can't believe I'm fighting nobles after a few days of arriving in this world.

I was expecting to spend my first few days doing normal missions, collecting normal items, and battling normal enemies.

Now I'm facing a noble, collecting ancient-looking rocks, and fighting large boss-like monsters.

After seeing Amel's enthusiasm, I have a feeling it won't be peace and quiet once we arrived back in Alpha.

She'll probably drag me to some ancient ruins or deep forests or something.

Maybe she'll bring me to that ancient ruins of Asparagus?

I wonder just how old is this world, and how old do you need to be to be called ancient? Considering this world's naming sense, I wouldn't be surprised if it's just 10 days old.

Actually, I would probably still be surprised.

This is a really weird world, I wonder how long will I last?

"Cargo ship spotted."

Riko made the call. I looked out the window.

Shining among the night stars, an array of lights shines through the night. At its edge is a red and green color, with many smaller white lights in between. The lines formed the silhouette of the ship.

"So that's it..."

The ship had a gray color on it. The ship is pretty big. It's the size of a large airliner.

There seem to be no defenses on board, no turrets or the like.

It's flying at a pretty low altitude, which is a bit weird considering the cargo they are carrying.

I mean, if you're carrying illegal cargo, aren't you supposed to be flying as far from people as possible?

We flew under the ship, crossing its path, before turning around and slowly sneaking up.

We were now flying above them.

"The deck is... clear?"

Amel said as she looked out from the window. She was preparing to open the door but is now hesitant.

"Is it just me, or is this guy's security a bit lackluster?"

I wondered. We had no serious issue penetrating the mansion back then. It's as if he's exposing himself on purpose.

"I know this isn't a good time to ask, but how did your assault in the capital went?"

Hearing my question, Amel looked at me, and the ship went silent once more.

"Well... umm... it was not hard... to say the least."

Amel said, her voice wavering. She must have noticed my concerns.

Hearing that, I turned to Emma.

"Did you do background checks on everyone?"

"Umm... background checks aren't exactly an obligation. As long as they're heading up, then they're allowed to go back down. There are some occasions when I skipped the step. The others probably did it too."
