Chapter 1 – Accident (“Kottekote” pa.s.ses and gra.s.s doesn’t sprout)
「Masterー It was possible to eat a meal. Today’s meuniere is a carp that was possible to be obtained from a nearby river.」
「Right, thank you, Eleksia. You’re really a good bride aren’t you.」
「Bride is incorrect, I am a Mate Gear. Don’t make a mistake.」
And, as usual jokes can’t be understood. With a long, blue, fairly beautiful hair, this sour-looking maid-type robot called Eleksia YM10 and critcizing my frivolous talk. I’m dining today. As soon as you bite it you can see it’s delicious, the white flesh is slightly sweet while also being tender, and just as it came apart I could feel my heart being satisfied.
Even though jokes are not understood, the cooking as expected is first-cla.s.s. Even though a second-hand item from a second-rate maker as well as an unpopular model, just as expected from a Mate Gear. Even though the name of the fish isn’t known, however the meal was able to be prepared.
Mate Gear is just, well a maid type of robot in other words it’s simply a robot to subst.i.tute for a maid. At the same time, it’s purpose is for the care of the mental sanity as well as a companionship for humans.
And now, I’m relaxing in a simple tent just hanging a waterproof sheet in this place closed by the jungle. Naturally the current status is a blessing.
My name is Renze錬是. I’m a planet hunter.
A planet hunter is so to speak, well, someone who has the main job of finding a planet which has value for development. Though that’s mostly the work that robots do, there’s people like me who work in this industry too. There are a lot of people in this line of work since finding a single planet suitable for development, especially one where human beings can emigrate to, can make you rich, getting money which you can spend playing your whole life
Of course. If you make it, it’s great but the idea of betting your life is a great risk as well. Someone who does that, must be guys who are cornered since it’s all-or-nothing. Even I who’s saying that, borrowed money from dangerous fellows, and it’s not possible to pay back. And so we reach this state in which I can’t really go back.
But still, if i’ve got a hit (as in finding a planet) my debt is forgiven and I also got a surplus to play around with, in other words pretty profitable stuff.
―――――But, unfortunately, in my case, it seems I got the bad part of the bet.
It was good till I was able to find a planet, but the s.p.a.ceship that I bought from the junk shop broke down and it just stopped moving. Oh well, but an ending like this is cla.s.sic for a cla.s.s of man like me.
The contents itself that broke down are not that difficult, if there are parts it should be fixed in half a day. However, unfortunately, there is no way I can get those parts.
Therefore my life seems to end while staying here.
