Chapter 2: Chapter 2 - Blue Haired Heroine
As I entered the workshop, I noticed that the exterior and interior were nearly identical. I could only see several projectors displaying pilot suits in the shop window.
I went straight to the counter and, since there was no one around, I pressed the counter's bell.
*Ting-Ting*
"Thank you for visiting our workshop; how may I assist you?"
Oh, F*ck!
A projection of a woman appeared in front of me just as I pressed the bell. Despite the fact that it caught me off guard, I managed to keep a straight face.
Things like this should be normal in this world, considering that space travel and other sci-fi things are real.
"Is the owner of this place available? I'd like to order a Pilot suit."
"Would you like to order a standard one, a modified one, or perhaps you would like to design it yourself?"
Oh.... We can design it ourselves? Looks like I need that one.
"I want to design it myself."
"Alright, then wait a moment. I will call Master to come here immediately, please sit on any empty sofa."
After that, the female projection vanished.
While I waited, I sat on a sofa at the far end of the room and gazed at the pilot suit projections in the display case. That was the only thing I could think of when I saw the pilot suits on display. All of the designs, especially the helmet, appeared to be very futuristic.
I'm not sure how it works at all. I mean, most helmets look like you can't see anything while wearing them, you know? Moreover, based on memories from my past life, you can see normally while wearing them. It even feels like not wearing a helmet.
While looking around the pilot suit, I saw my own reflection in a mirror. Dark blue hair, and fiery red eyes. My body proportions were also very dashing and balanced. Man, I look really handsome.
Well, at least that's my opinion. Maybe I'm just overconfident.
Or maybe I'm indeed handsome? Either way, right now I'm quite grateful to be reincarnated in this world. I'm not sure how it works at all.

I felt a sense of presence from behind me while I was thinking about that ridiculous thing. When I turned around, I saw a man who appeared to be quite old and short. He was dressed in clothes that looked like they belonged to an engineer, but with a futuristic shirt and glasses.
Is he a dwarf? He was short, and also had pointed ears.
The man looked a little surprised when he saw me. Did I do something wrong? He rubbed his short beard before saying.
"Oya, sorry to keep you waiting Mr. Denzelnas. My name is Hanz, just Hanz. I am the owner of this workshop. You should contacted me before coming here, so you don't have to wait like this."
After saying that he sat down on the sofa in front of me.
"You know me?"
"Yes, I'm the person who made the pilot suit for Mr. Justyn. Your father, even though he received many offers from other companies, he always comes here to modify or repair his pilot suit. And I heard about you from him."
Hmm.... As I recall, my father wasn't the type to talk that much. Never mind, it's not important.
"So.... Mr. Hiro. Can I call you that?"
"Yeah."
"Can you outline the design of the pilot suit you want?"
"I would like to order a combat suit-type pilot suit that has an electromagnetic shield that can withstand level 3 laser bullets, and armor that can withstand bullets of a pretty high caliber. I also want a grappling hook on the left arm, and a sword that can be hidden on the right arm. Also add 2 jet engines with 3D thrust vectoring capabilities that can help me jump or slow down my jump."
"..."
He fell silent at my explanation, did I make an impossible request?
"What's wrong? you can't do it?"
"Ah no, it's just that you seem to know very well what you want before coming here, Mr. Hiro."
"I guess so."
"Alright, then what type of Mecha are you going to use?"
"Vanguard Class."
I chose the Vanguard Class because it was the type of Mecha that had the most balanced specifications, and was very easy to modify.
"Just like your father then. What about the appearance of the pilot suit?"
"I'll let you choose that one for me."
"At least tell me the color choice if you can."
"Hmm.... Dark blue or just black."
"Alright, I understand. I'll let you know about the estimated completion time tonight, and tomorrow at the latest. As for the cost, I'll give it to you tonight as well. Can you give me your contact number, Mr. Hiro?"
"Yeah, sure."
I then gave him my contacts from my smartwatch.
"In that case, I'll go straight to the back to prepare to work on it."
Hanz stood up from his seat and extended his hand to me after saying that. I stood up and took it.
"See you later, Mr. Hiro, and have a nice day."
I just nodded and shook his hand. After we shook hands, he disappeared into the workshop, and I also left the workshop and headed to my car.
There were still a few hours before I picked up Alicia, usually at this hour I would be helping my mother with her work at the company. But since I was suddenly able to recall memories from my past, it looks like from now on I won't be able to help my mother at the company anymore.
So, what should I do now?
Visit Alicia's workplace? If I bother her now, I'm sure she'll be angry. But how should I proceed? Given the events of this morning, if I go to my mother's company, she'll probably just tell me to have fun instead of letting me help her.
My pilot suit is also finished, and the Mecha Auction House will not open until 7 p.m. tonight. In my current situation, I really don't have anything else to do.
Maybe I should just go wandering around the city.
I decided to go to the beach on the outskirts of the city, since it took half an hour of driving before I got there, I thought it was a good thing to waste time. After all, today I had nothing to do but waste time.
Enjoying every moment I have is the principle of my life, even though there are many bad things that might happen in the future like an alien invasion or something. That's just a possibility, and it's not certain that it will happen.
The protagonist will arrive in this city after becoming a mercenary and fighting against the Space Pirates in about 1 year. that's if my estimation isn't wrong, as I remember the protagonist came to this city in winter and met Alicia a few days later.
But since it's the middle of spring now and I just married Alicia about a month ago, that means the protagonist hasn't come to this town yet. The likelihood of him coming is next year, or maybe the year after that.
So I still have plenty of time.
Well, I was probably just looking for an excuse to slacking off.
After I arrived at the beach, I bought a hotdog at a food stall then sat on an empty bench and ate it. Looking around, I could see that the beach was quite crowded. There were couples flirting with each other, families playing together, and people swimming or playing with their friends.
Even though it's not a holiday, the beach here is still crowded, huh.
I turned my gaze to the sky and could see several space ships that were entering and exiting from the giant gate in the sky. The gate should have a name, but since my memory is still quite messed up I still can't remember it.
I returned my gaze to the clear horizon without any spaceships, and all that filled my vision was the sky, without even a single cloud.
It reminds me of the day I died in my past life, the blue sky.
Perhaps it was because I died in the sky that I could remember the scene of the sky back then so clearly, just like today. That day the sky was clear, without a single cloud.
Well, that's if you ignore the 27mm bullets scattered in the sky of course.
In my past life memories I was a Eurofighter Typhoon pilot, my callsign was Typhoon 0-2. At that time my flight leader and I were ordered to intercept 2 SU-57 Felons entering the eastern European skies.
When they got in range of their FOX-3. The Felons immediately opened fire on us with R77-1 missiles. Because they fired first, we were forced into a defensive position first.
My Flight Leader and I tried our best to keep them away from us, as there was no way we could defeat a 5th generation fighter like the Felon in a close-range dogfight. However, it was in vain. I managed to shoot down one of the Felons with my Meteor Missile, but one of the Felons managed to sneak through the valleys in the mountains and shoot down my Flight Leader.
And..... I'm in the Merge with SU-57 Felon on My Eurofighter Typhoon.
I'm going 1 circle with him. I know it sound's stupid fighting against a Felon in 1 circle fight, but i have no choice. I need to keep it close so i can jam the WES.
But well, it's useless. Eventually, the Felon got on my six. And he shoot an Archer at me, i made to dodge that missile but, once a Felon got on your six. There's no way you can shake 'em off unless you're in another 5th generation fighter like the Raptor.
And yeah, you know how it's end. I got disintegrated in the Air by an Archer, that missile probably hit my fox-2 missile warhead.
That's how i died. I'm really unlucky, fighting against a Felon with 4th generation fighter is a stupid idea. "Not the plane but it's the pilot" my ass.
*Sign*
Thinking about my death in the past somehow made me let out a long sigh.
"Letting out a long sigh like that is not good, you know. You'll get a bad luck."
I suddenly heard a voice from beside me, based on the tone of her voice which sounded beautiful, she must be a woman.
I then turned my gaze towards the voice and my heart almost dropped when I saw who it was.
I saw a woman, no. A young girl who was probably around my age or slightly younger than me, she had blue eyes and blue hair tied into a ponytail. She also had the same fair skin as Alicia, she was wearing a simple bluish white one piece dress that somehow made her even more beautiful.
I was very surprised to see this girl here. Why?
It's because she's the traumatized heroine that the protagonist will be targeting later!
But why is she here!? She should be a noble from the Lorandra Empire, right!? Then why is she on this planet!? Did I remember wrong!?
"Uhm.... Can I sit beside you? I'm tired from walking so far to get to this beach."
"Of course, Miss. Please."
I hid my panic and answered her as casually as possible, I then shifted slightly and gave her room to sit next to me. After sitting down she immediately looked at me and spoke excitedly.
"So, why are you sighing like that? I may not be able to help you with your problem, but I can at least listen."
Strange, she shouldn't be this talkative. Especially to the point of sitting near a stranger like me, I remember her as a very quiet girl. Is my memory wrong?
"I appreciate your concern, Miss. But my head only hurts a little, there's nothing to worry about."
"There's no need to hide it, I know you have something on your mind....just tell me."
"I told you, Miss. My head just hurts, that's all."
"Come on, tell me."
She said that while tugging on my jacket sleeve.
Really, now I really think that my memory is playing tricks on me. Or did I have the wrong person? No, it can't be. Except for her attitude, the characteristics of this girl were exactly the same as the ones in my memory.
"I have nothing to tell you, Miss."
"Boo, boring. Even though I went to the trouble of coming here to escape them."
She said that while puffing out her cheeks.
They? Who?
Ah, since she's a noble lady, they must be her bodyguards, huh?
Well, it's probably okay to play with her for a while, right? I have a long time left too, and There's no way i'm gonna sitting in this place all day.
So I decided to talk to her.
"Hey, you said you were bored, right?"
"Yeah, it's because I thought I could have fun when I came to this planed. But it ended up being boring like this."
"Want to come with me?"
"Where?"
"Have some fun."
"Hmm...."
She looks hesitant to accept my offer. It was obvious, there was no way she would accept my offer.
"Alright, but you have to promise me that it would really be fun."
Eh, she accepts it?
"Of course, I can guarantee that. Why did you accept an invitation from a stranger like me anyway? You're not scared?"
"Why would I? You seem like a nice person."
She said it as if it was obvious.
Wow, she's so innocent. Well, I don't want to do anything bad to her anyway. I just want someone to spend time with.
"Alright, I understand. But next time don't immediately accept invitations from strangers, okay? Even if they seem nice, sometimes they're just hiding their evil intentions. Especially if they're former mercenaries."
I don't think I have the right to say that.
"I don't really understand.... But fine."
And she even believed me, I really don't understand. Based on my memories she should be a quiet, mature and sharp girl. However, now she is instead a very cheerful, childish, and innocent girl.
"Then come with me, my car is over there."
"Hey hold on, i still don't know your name!."
"You're right. I'm Hiro, just call me Hiro. What's your name, Miss?"
I already know, actually.
"Ira, just call me Ira. Hiro."
"Then let's go, Ira."
"Let's go!"
She looks very excited.
I then walked to my car with her.
********
*Chirp* *Chirp*
I could hear the sound of birds chirping all around me. Although this place is just an artificial park, but I must admit. The imperial capital's garden district is extraordinary.
Currently, I'm on the banks of the artificial river in the imperial capital's park district. This place is the largest park in the imperial capital, and it even has a small river that looks very natural.
Rather than a park, I think it would be better to call this place a small forest.
And right now, I'm currently lamenting my bad luck. Although this was one of my hobbies in my past life, but why haven't I gotten a single fish!
"Hiro! Hiro! Look! I got another one!"
Ira and I were fishing in this river, I found out about this place when I was remembering about my father. Because my mom and Hanz said that it made me a little curious and I was able to remember about this place. We used to fish in this place together.
Honestly, I thought Ira might not like it. But I guess I don't have to worry, I mean just look at it. She enjoys fishing more than I do.
"Come here, let me take it off."
Since she couldn't remove the fish's mouth from the hook, So I had to remove every fish she got.
I released her fish got and put it in her bucket. The fish she got was quite big.
"Woah, Hiro. Look, I got four fish already!"
She looked very excited after looking at her bucket.
"Yeah, I can see that."
"Let me see your bucket!"
This girl, is she trying to screw me over?
"Never mind, you already know without looking, right?"
"Hahaha.... You still don't get any fish!"
Okay, she's making me a little annoyed. Maybe I should just throw her into the river?
I looked at my smartwatch and it looked like lunch time was almost here.
"Ira, are you hungry?"
"En, a little."
She nodded.
"Bring your bucket over here, I'll grill it."
"Uh, but what about you? You don't have any fish, right?"
"Oi!"
"I'm just kidding, hehe."
I quickly set up the portable grill I bought when we bought the fishing rod just now. Turning it on was easy, I just had to press a button and the grill was ready.
I took the fish in Ira's bucket, removed the scales and dirt and put it on the grill.
"Ooh, you're pretty good. Have you done this before, Hiro?"
"Sort of."
In my past life, it was when I was shot down in the middle of the forest and had to eat whatever I could find until the Task Force found me.
Soon enough, the fish was finished and we ate it.
"How was it?"
"Hmm. It didn't taste that good, actually. But since it's my first time doing something like this I'm happy."
She said that with a smile.
It's good that she liked it. After that we continued our lunch quietly and finished it.
"Alright, let's go Ira. I still have other fun things we can do."
"I'd love to, but I think this day is enough, Hiro."
Ira said that while giving me a sad smile.
Ah, they've arrived already.
I looked behind me, not far from us, I could see three men and a woman dressed as a maid walking towards us. The woman and one of the men looked older than the others, they were probably in their 30s. The other two men looked to be in their mid-20s.
The woman ran straight to Ira and past me.
"Good Lord, Miss Ira. Please don't go out alone like this again, what if something bad happens to you?"
The woman sounded very worried.
"But I'm tired of staying in hotels all the time..."
"Still, you can't go out alone like this!"
The woman scolded Ira more harshly.
"Fine, I won't do it again."
Ira apologized and bowed her head. The woman then hugged her and said.
"Good, then let's go back, Miss."
After that they walked past me. I was ignored, huh? As expected of a side character.
I could see a flying vehicle that looked like a limousine landing in front of them. But, before they boarded. Ira suddenly turned around and looked at me.
"Hiro, thanks for today! That was fun! I'll see you again later! See you soon~~~"
She said that to me while smiling and waving her hand, seeing her like that I also waved my right hand.
Although she looks hesitant, but since the woman urged Ira to get in, she finally got into the flying Limousine, and immediately flew away from me.
Seeing me again, huh? I wonder when that will happen.
*Kringgggg*
On the way to my car, I suddenly got a call from my smartwatch, when I saw the caller's name. It was Alicia, and I wondered why she was calling me when there was still about three hours before I was supposed to pick her up.
I took the earpiece from my smartwatch and put it in my ear.
"What's wrong?"
"Hurry up and get here, my mom wants us to have lunch together."
Oh, seriously. I just had my lunch.
