Extra Kadokawa Books Anniversary Short Story Compilation 1 [Five Years Later]

TN: This is a short story originally published on Kakuyomu as part of an annual short story compilation organized by Kadokawa to celebrate their anniversary. I’ll resume translating the main story once the author returns from working on the new volume of the light novel. In the meantime, I’ll be translating these mostly unknown short stories. There are only five in total, but I hope they’ll help fill the gap until the author returns.

A notification sound woke me up. Shaking off the grogginess of sleep, I quickly pulled up the radar and information displays on my beloved ship—Krishna’s cockpit. I checked the radar pings and the logs. Because I had minimized the life-support system’s functions, the cockpit was chilly.

「Four small, one medium.」

I muttered, observing the passive radar’s readings.

No one responded to my words. These days, I had to handle everything myself—radar monitoring, information processing, and even managing the subsystems.
