"Even if you say-, you won't understand what it is."
In the words of Isuzu, I nodded many times silently. Um. I don't know why.
"I'm not exactly waiting for you."
"... So what is it?"
"I was waiting for a person worthy of taking over this interstellar immigration ship, Toyokumo. When you touched a toy spider, you could read that it was filled. That's why the program with this captain's authority has broken into the suspension system. ''
"Is it worth taking over this ship?"
"I have three requirements. First, there is no intention of abusing this ship. One is that they are mentally stable and caring for others. And the last condition is that you have something to solve. These are the three. "
I tilt my head to the conditions listed by Isuzu. Isuzu showed her white teeth and added:
"Yes, that's not a special condition. In short, everyone was fine, unless they were bad guys, and especially if they didn't need the power of the ship. ''
"... yeah"
I wasn't expecting anything, but it was complicated when everyone was convinced.
"In any case, if you are willing, you can use this program to officially register as a captain. That way, whatever your worries can be solved. This toy spider has that much power. ''
"What is it?"
So, can you restore that crushed body? No way, can I be revived? I felt my body tremble, literally a miracle of falling.
"But just remember this."
"……e?"
"When you register as a captain, your soul-the astral body will be assimilated with the main core of Toyokumo. In other words, you will be a toy spider. ''
"... I am on this ship?"
'At that time you will not only be able to move this ship freely, but will also gain all the knowledge contained in this ship's database. But I don't know if it's good or bad. '
"What is that?"
“Because knowing something means losing something. … From here on, I can't say much to you who are still outsiders. If you don't mind, touch the control ball here again. ''
I was at a loss. Isuzu's words imply that there may be knowledge that I do not want to know. You can't think of it as at most knowledge. After all, this ship is a substitute for Jindai. Getting all the knowledge from that era is, in effect, an omniscient existence.
At that time, can I stay as I am now? I don't know the answer. But anyway, I had no choice. If I keep this, I can only become a ghost ...
So, I touch the crystal ball again. Then, the voice of the ship re-entered the room.
"The captain registration procedure will be performed. ... All approvals have been completed. The ship now grants Quito full command. Congratulations to Captain Quito! '
"... Huh? Is this all you need?"
There is no real feeling. I thought it was a fusion, so I thought there was more shock. That's the kind of pain that runs into the soul.
I looked at Isuzu anxiously and doubted the incident.
"Oh, hey! Are you all right?"
What a sight of Isuzu, which was so clear just before, is slowly disappearing.
"What the hell did you do?"
"It looks like you've successfully taken over as captain. Congratulations"
"No, not really!"
"This program, which is no longer needed, is set to be automatically erased. Know the latter with your hands. '
"Erase ..."
"A good journey"
At the end of that statement, Isuzu really disappeared. I am the only one left, I can only stand still.
"Even if you say I'm a captain, what should I do ..."
†
I can't stand and look around. Is there anything that can manage this situation?
"OK. Start the support / AI program.]
"Oh? Well, eh?"
The moment I tilted my head to the ship's voice, a mysterious light bulb appeared next to me.
"Hello, Captain Quito. My name is Ballena, the support AI for our ship, Toyokumo. I will be assisting Captain Quito from now on. "
Said a light bulb, called a ballerina, to me. Even if such a thing is told, I think that it is what it is. The moment I thought, the knowledge I did not know flowed into my head at once.
"...... Guh, what is this?"
I'm sorry ... I'm almost vomiting if I have a living body.
"HM. Apparently, you connected to the database. Please note that unfamiliarity will have a negative effect on the spirit. "
"... I didn't know anything about it."
"It can't be helped. But did you get the information you need to use me? 』
"Well, what a hell."
There is some ambiguity because I haven't been able to organize the information I know, but in short, support / AI seems to be a familiarity to assist in all aspects. They will do anything if ordered.
When I knew it, I immediately ordered Ballena.
"Okay, Varena. I want to ask you right away."
"What'll we do? 』
"Actually, I'm already dead, only a soul. So my body is outside, but I want to recover it and restore it."
"So that's it. Where is the specific place? 』
"Um ... where was it?"
When I looked right, my view suddenly connected to the outside scene.
"Wow! What !? You can see the outside !?"
"Because the captain is already fused with the ship, if you want to see it, you can see 360 degrees in all directions through the camera provided in the ship."
"Oh, yeah. I see."
In other words, now I am looking through the whale's eyes. As I moved my field of vision with the image of twisting my neck, I was able to find my corpse lying on the ground.
"Yes! Over there!"
"was it there. Then I will also look at the camera. "
"How is it? Is it right?"
"Yes, sure. Let's take out the work robot and collect it. "
"The bot is, uh ... oh, like a golem."
I conclude the information obtained from the database.
"I agree. It is like a clay doll made to suit the purpose. Watch me as Captain Quito will do it for me. "
Watching as I was told, the abdomen of the toy spider opened, from which a large silver crab appeared. That seems to be a working robot.
crab? Why a crab? It's a sense that I can't understand, but it's not enough to complain.
A gashangashan and a six-footed crab, my body was dexterously recovered with two scissors, and then returned to the toy spider.
"What happens now?"
"I carry it to the living lab, where I begin the repair work. However……"
"However?"
"It's difficult to get it back completely because of the lack of resources."
"Yes !? Then what happens !?"
"Shrink. The original Captain's body is in his mid-thirties, but the restored body will be about fifteen years old. '
"Are you sorry? Will you be so young?"
"I think you are dissatisfied, but it would be helpful if you could understand the current situation."
I was troubled. 15 years old? Will I be a 15-year-old again? Ummm, what is that? But ... must we accept it?
"I see. I'll ask."
"Understood. I'll arrange to start working right now. "
Anyway, 15 years old? What kind of kid was I?
