I Got the Rare Job "Drone Pilot" That's Useless in Battle, but After Doing Streaming and Transportation Work, I Somehow Ended Up with the Strongest Fleet

by Momopapa

What is this?! A drone?! This thing is just unfair!! Soramine Sota, a second-year university student, awakened a year ago and received the rare job "Drone Pilot." But his hopes were dashed: the ability to "pilot drones by thought alone" had zero combat value. Disillusioned, Sota kept his job a secret from everyone and lived as a shut-in, passing as "jobless." Then one day, his mother collapses from overwork—and treating her will cost a small fortune. Fine. I'll just have to earn it myself. After agonizing over it, Sota decides to start working with his drone. With the untouched child-support payments his absent father had been sending, he buys a secondhand drone he fell in love with at first sight and takes a job as a cameraman for dungeon streams. Then one day, Himeka Maizono—his childhood friend and the only person who knows his job—is attacked by a monster mid-stream, her life hanging by a thread. On pure instinct, Sota rams his drone straight into the monster and saves her from the pinch. And that split-second decision becomes the moment the world learns what a "Drone Pilot" can really do... This is the story of a man dismissed as useless in combat—one who will, in time, obtain the strongest fleet.
