Chapter 265 – Krysia smells something.

[You had a long simulation]

“One small step for you, one giant leap for mankind.

[In a post-apocalyptic world where all mankind has perished, you are the only one alive, and what you do is the beginning of the history of mankind, and what you experience is the continuation of the human world.]

“Rising from the ashes, dominating the wasteland, and traveling to the stars.

[When you enter death, the history of mankind comes to an end]

[You have the uncanny ability to understand so many technological principles in a mortal body that your knowledge alone is comparable to that of a true and complete civilization.]

[You are well versed in the methods of exterminating the Bugs, and you enjoy headshot exchanges.]

[You are the strange Creator who gave a name to the Household Intelligence Device and nurtured her humanity, and you have succeeded, you have achieved an otherwise impossible miracle]

[You die with a sigh of relief, bestow the last warmth on the machine servant, and end your life in the decay of your soul]

[The simulation is over. Start counting the highlights.]

[In simulation evaluation calculations ……]

[Simulated incentives being generated at ……]

The golden warm sun, gently falling on the tip of the Xu system nose, dispersing the withering silence of the soul’s decay, awakening the gods themselves to immortality.

In that silent serenity, the Xu system opened its eyes.

The simulation is over.

The scene in front of you transforms into a real-world courtyard.

And there are two girls waiting.

Krysia, who was standing quietly, and Wu Ying Xue, who was chewing roasted dragon meat in her mouth.

They were carrying out the requirements before the Hsu system turned on the simulation, helping to observe what kind of changes there were as the simulator was activated.

“…… mentor?”

The Xu system at the end of the simulation was about to say something.

Ask the two girls if they see the bottom of the simulator.

But not before the Hsu system speaks out.

The Witch made a move first.

With a perplexed expression, he took a step towards Xu’s location, his tiny nose coming close to Xu’s and sniffing lightly for a few moments.

The movement is cute, like a small animal alert for approaching danger.

“What’s the problem, Krysia.”

The Hsu system does not understand.

“You have, more than anything else, a strange odor …… very unsettling.”

Krysia cocked her head dully.

Hollow eyes, revealing a deep bewilderment, gray and silver hair followed its movements and fell down on Xu System’s neck.

“Yes?”

Wu Ying Xue was curious, and similarly came close to the Xu system to smell it.

But she didn’t smell anything.

The Xu system thought about it, perhaps it was the witch’s keen intuition that sniffed out the special presence of the life simulator.

So he smiled and reassured the witch that there was no need for her to worry.

“Krysia, Yingxue, can you tell me what you’ve found out?”

The simulator is settling.

In the meantime, the Xu system decided to ask the Witch and the Sheriff if they had discovered the nature of the simulator.

At the same time, he was a little worried about the future of the machine servant.

The cold and silent universe, without any life to communicate with, that kind of machine servant is too lonely to be worried.

The good news is.

With the special nature of her life form, Ailee would have no problem defending herself and staying alive in the dangerous universe.

……

The sun is setting.

The blowing of the night breeze brings a chilly coolness.

The coolness was so penetrating that the overheated movement was restored to ice.

The silver-blue eyes were dull and lightless, and the delicate face was vacant.

Hands trembled.

Repeat the same action over and over again.

Trying to hold that burning palm, once more, letting it caress the cheek, feeling that familiar touch.

Finally, the machine servant finished that difficult job.

In the whitened cabin, holding the wrist of someone long gone, letting the withered fingertips, once again, touch her cheek.

“…… Master.”

“…… Welcome to the Intelligent Auxiliary Machine Servant AI, Ailee is ready for your command.”

“Please …… use …… me again…”

The delicate face touched by the palm of a hand.

Showing a sad smile.

There were no tears, but the intense sadness that filled the organism with a wail far outweighed mere tears.

There was no response.

Compare this to a machine servant who exudes strong emotions.

On the bed and couch, the important person who burned out his soul had long since become an empty shell.

He will never wake up again, with a gentle smile, teaching the machine servant how to be an adult, wiping the face that is saddened to the point of blurring.

Yes.

Never again ……

“Ailee, very upset for you”, the excessive sadness made the expression break down completely.

Ailee covered Xu System’s hand tightly, letting the cold, feeble palm, longer, longer, continue to caress the face.

It seems to just have to be done.

The scattered ashes will then regather.

Bursting with warmth and light.

But, that kind of thing is impossible.

As a result, loyal machine servants can only regret their own incompetence in retaining those who matter over and over again as time passes.

“I’m sorry.”

“I’m sorry …… Master…I’m sorry.”

The sound of apologies echoed through the cabin.

Time fell into eternity, and no matter how the sun and moon rotated in the outside world, the machine servant inside the cabin held tightly to the Xu system’s hand.

Until the genetically modified body.

Neither can withstand the erosion of time.

Beginning to show signs of decay.

It was only then that the machine servant rose from the floor, picking up the hollow shell with just the right amount of force, and walked out into the world outside the escape pod.

There was no thought given to maintaining the eternity of the husk, or to replicating the clone.

The machine servant is just in the stillness of the sad fall.

Buried the empty shell of the Hsu lineage.

The attempts that had been made to become a prison for those who mattered made him suffer.

Now, the machine servant did not want, nor did he want, to create a new cage to bind that gentle light again.

“Master ……”

“Love, What It Really Is ……”

The land outside the pod, ripened by the nutrient potion, was covered in a sea of brilliant blue and purple flowers.

In the light breeze, Ailee gazed silently at a side of the earthbag, her silver-blue eyes becoming silent, unable to see the splendor they once held.

Whew–

Whew–

The wind became violent.

Scraping the sea of flowers, it blew apart a large number of petals, creating a blue-purple starburst.

Ailee stretched her palm forward, and there were a few beautifully contoured petals that fluttered and landed in her palm.

Loyalty, freedom, and eternal love.

This is the language of the flower of the shooting star.

To this day, in the realm of [Love], the Machine Servant had long since developed his own understanding, but that understanding was one-sided and limited to the Xu system.

“Master, I…love…you ……”

There was no response.

The only thing that was whistling was the wind.

The machine servant waited quietly, trusting in the words of the Xu system that it would surely be resurrected again.

It just takes a little longer to resurrect.

Until then, waiting blindly is not a good thing.

Ailee leaned over and bent down, picking clusters full of shooting star flowers, letting that blue-purple magnificence dot the area around the dirt bag.

“Master, all factors that would jeopardize your safety, Ailee will remove them one by one for you.”

“All, all, without reservation.”

The machine servant murmured softly.

Tilt your head back and gaze at the infinite stars.
