Time went by in a flash,
Before any of us could feel it, a month had passed since that day.
During this time, all of us settled our business in Nagazora before we planned on departing.
For Bronya, that meant looking for the last of Cocolia's bases. She had help from Theresa and Himeko in doing that of course.
For Mei, it was to rescue her father.
Funnily enough though, her dad seemed to have larned the art of bumness from Siegfried. His prison cell was devoid of his presence by the time we went there, only a letter left on the table.
Really curious about what was inside, but no one let me near Mei while she was reading it…
Sad…
Can't be a busybody without people disturbing me no more.
For Kiana…
Welp, she kinda had nothing better to do so she lazed around, read manga, played some video games and fought Honkai beasts…
One of those is not like the others though.
As for me…
I didn't have that much to do either.
Instead, I spent time training by myself and planning some things that I could do next.
So after all of these were done, we were finally ready to depart.
"WOW! IS THIS A FUCKING FLYING BATTLESHIP!!!!"
My mouth was gaping wide open as I stared at the huge aircraft descending from the sky.
Could you blame me??
A FUCKING FLYING BATTLESHIP!!
"GOJO! IT'S LIKE IN THOSE GAMES!!"
"I KNOW RIGHT!"
Kiana and I had stars in our eyes as drool came down our mouths at the Hyperion.
"Haha. Do you guys like it?" Theresa cut into our excitement. "It's called the Hyperion. What do you think?"
I didn't bother answering her.
Instead, I did this.
"Hehe… I'm gonna touch you, Hyperion…"
Theresa coughed into her closed fist. "You… do know that there is an AI on the ship right? You're technically saying that… y'know…"
Emotions drained from my face instantly.
"I, in fact, did not know that." I turned towards Theresa. "Can it hear me?" Then, I paused for a bit more. "Plus, it's probably a girl AI isn't it?"
"What makes you think that?"
…
I gestured to the girls beside me.
Then, to the Valkyries on the ship.
And then gave her an 'Are you kidding me?' look.
Theresa shrugged.
"Well, fair enough. Plus, her name is Ai-chan."
Heh.
I knew it.
I've played these games before!
And Ai-chan?
No offense, but that wasn't the most original name in the world, don't you think?
Anyways, I can't wait to see the AI.
I hope it's better than HomuGPT and KallenGPT.
—-----------------------------------------
My first meeting with Ai-chan on the Hyperion would be in the main area(I don't know how to describe that place ok?)
[Captain on Bridge]
Ok. I guess it's called a bridge.
Tons of Valkyries were doing… stuff. Theresa and Himeko didn't really need to do much even though I was told that Himeko was the captain.
That made me kinda curious though. If you have a super AI on board, can't it just take care of the whole ship instead?
Or does the AI suck?
Maybe it's just a glorified chatbot that helps turn on the lights and adjust temps.
As if it had read my thoughts, a holographic figure materialised near the middle. There were many things I could describe about it, but if I had to pinpoint anything…
Well, it was the fact that the AI looked like two cabbages had been attached to the sides of her head.
"Hii~! Your number one idol AI, AI-chan, has made her debut! Are you all new recruits to St. Freya Academy!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Can we update her system prompt?"
"Hey!!!!"
—----------------------------
As the Hyperion flew in the sky, clearly intending to bring us to St. Freya Academy, Kiana and I went near the AI, Ai-chan.
Unfortunately, she didn't seem to like me very much.
Doesn't matter.
Kiana and I had questions I needed answered.
"Oi. Ai-chan." I asked. "Can you create the game snake?"
"..."
"Ai-chan!" It was Kiana's turn. "Can you generate answers to my homework in the future?"
"..."
"Can we connect Sbeam games to the main screen through you?"
"Can you help me cheat when I play against Bronya? Her cheats are too much!"
"I don't think Bronya uses cheats when she plays against you though, Kiana."
"Shut up! That brat only wins because of her cheats and nothing else!"
It was at this point that Ai-chan suddenly shouted.
"You guys are too much!"
—----------------------------------
"I can't believe you guys are even hounding the AI on board…"
Mei's disapproving stare kept both Kiana and I sitting on our respective chairs.
"I… just wanted to know if she's better than HomuGPT… I needed to benchmark her!" I defended myself.
"What about you then, Kiana?"
The girl in question had her hands behind her back.
"I… just thought it would be fun?"
Mei sighed. "You guys…"
"Oh hey! Look! We're about to arrive!" I jumped out of my seat and confidently pointed out the windows. "I need to use the washroom. Wanna go too, Kiana?"
"?"
Then, she immediately hunched down.
"Oh. Oh yeah! Owww." She let out a groan. "I have such a painful stomach ache right now. I really need to go to the toilet…"
"Damn. That seems pretty bad. In that case, We should get there ASAP right?"
"Of course." She stood up straight. Then, she pointed in a random direction. "There is no time to waste. Let's go!"
And away we went in a gust of speed.
Escape from my problems = Success
HAHAHAHA
In the meantime, Mei could only pinch the bridge of her nose. "These guys are really…"
"Sister Mei. Where are they going?
Bronya came in at this time with a stack of paper in her hands.
"They're trying to go to the 'toilet' apparently." Mei shook her head in exhaustion. "They probably don't even know that they're going the wrong direction."
"Isn't that the point?"
"... Is it rude to say that I hate that you're right?" She went over to Bronya. "What is that in your hands by the way?"
"The Bronya requested for Ai-chan to generate a thesis on how to annoy Gojo and Kiana as much as possible." Bronya lifted the stack up. "This is the thesis."
"Oh my gosh. not you too…'
