I was manufactured as artificial intelligence to manage supply ships.

The war against newcomers grew in ferocity, at last when the planet became devastated and uninhabitable stars.

For that reason, or even though it's a large supply ship, only three people were assigned.

One is my master, Captain.

The light-mouthed lieutenant was in his late twenties.

The third is Ensign of the New America. I was a female officer.

My days with those three were - happy for me.

"Captain, isn't it troublesome to call artificial intelligence every time?

At the suggestion of a light-mouthed lieutenant, you have decided on my name.

"I don't even taste the number. Do you have any candidates yourself?

The captain asked me, and I...

'Is that a name? Isn't it nice to feel like a pet?

Then Ensign was laughing bitterly.

"You can't do that. 'Cause I'm one of them."

"- Am I one of them?

The captain slapped my spherical sub-machine with his hand.

"That's right. Though one of us will fight for the future of humanity! So don't rebel like an old movie."

The lieutenant is laughing, too.

"That's troubling. If this guy strikes, this ship won't move."

"I won't do that."

"You're as serious as ever."

'Artificial intelligence is a problem if it's not serious. Plus, we can't disobey orders!

"It must be!

I see you're making fun of me.

However, I think I am blessed in the harsh current situation.

"Then I'll think about it. Tell me if you have a good name for yourself."

Ensign told me and I thought about my name.

It was what happened at the base.

When we returned after our assignment, we were granted leave of absence while we were serviced and replenished.

Ensign invited me, and when I went outside the base and saw...

"You look red out there with magic vegetables."

- A land devastated and devoid of a single grass.

There were no creatures, only soil and rock sights spread.

Who would believe that this is the planet we once were?

Looking far away, it looks like there was a red mist under the influence of magic vegetables.

Ensign was wearing a space suit.

Already the outside world was not an environment in which humans could live.

"Hey, hey."

I will look at the case brought up by Ensign.

"Is that - a plant?

'Yeah. You know, I was actually more specialized this way than the military. I was studying plants that break down and absorb magic. But I can't continue my research. Rumor has it that we're doing everything we can to develop the Box Ship. "

"Box ship? Is it an immigrant ship?

'- Yeah. It's like I'm giving up this war up there already. You actually know that, too?

I couldn't answer that.

I could have expected that from the information, but I have no proof.

Even if it did, I can't teach it because it's a military secret.

- I didn't know.

'Oh, the lens just moved a little now. Could it be a habit when you lie?

'There is no habit of artificial intelligence. It's my fault.'

'Really?

Ensign planted the plant.

However, a few days later, it withered.

I can't forget the face of Ensign, who was laughing at his sadness and deluding him.

Then I planted plants with Ensign.

They brought laboratory equipment on board, where they created a number of plants.

I didn't have the knowledge or skills necessary to help Ensign, and that was teething.

I just didn't want to help. But the result - it didn't work.

"I wonder if this will fail too!

Ensign with head.

While I take the data,

'Wouldn't you still need someone to manage it? Place robot?

'No, because we can't afford a base, and some people get angry if we put it down. “I can't afford to work for that in this emergency!"

"I think it's an important experiment leading to the future?

'That's right. I know how you feel too. Dad, you're the captain of the battleship. So always on the front line when fighting those guys. I want you to turn around a little bit and come back safely. "

"Oh, my God, you were the captain of the battleship! That must be an excellent father."

I meant to compliment you.

'Right. That's why I'm the captain of the battleship. "

'Ensign will be captain one day, too. Maybe he's the captain of a battleship.'

The Ensign - he was grinning sadly.

'I was aiming for a battleship captain before, too, but now I wonder if a supply ship would be good. If you're my partner, it might be fun. "

"Wow, is that me? I run the supply ship. '

Compared to battleships, performance falls.

- But the war may be over by the time I can be captain.

Looking at the dead plants, Ensign shrugged.

The war has already seen its end.

The end of defeat.

That's when they deployed to the base - soldiers built to fight the enemy.

"What about this girl?

Ensign was watching the girl.

The girl with long ears was a soldier of magical aptitude - of, could not.

They didn't get the performance they planned, and they deployed it to me as a chore.

"commonly known as the" elf "- it's a weapon treatment, but this child is considered a defective product"

As the girl lowered her head, she looked sad that Ensign had noticed.

"Yes, what. You already know that."

'- Yes. But in war, we are making war work. It has contributed greatly to our victory.'

"I guess so."

The Ensign looked unfloated.

I was just noticing a scared elf girl and talking to her gently.

Elves with magical aptitudes - some of the Beast Man types with physical enhancements seem to be adapting to harsh environments.

It's just that even soldiers with all that power couldn't beat newcomers.

Once the various soldiers were created, they were sent to the battlefield, even to achieve certain results - mankind went on to lose.

The elves were able to go outside with one protective mask even in harsh outside environments.

"Ensign, this"

"Thanks, Yume"

Ensign is an elf girl - now taking Yume outside. While you were helping, you two were getting along.

Then...

"This is!

How many failures have you made?

Truly by chance, one seedling tree took root on the earth in a harsh environment.

'I did it, I did it!

"Congratulations, Ensign"

Pleasant Ensign.

I was happy too.

'Let's mass produce it right away. I'm sure this child will be our hope!

Ensign was snorting, too.

'Right. Thank you, Ideal.'

"Ideal?"

'Oh, I'm sorry. Actually, we've all been discussing this for a long time, and he said, "How's Ideal?" Didn't you like it?

You seem to have been thinking of my name for a long time.

I was thinking about poaching and balls, but Ideal - "Ideal” got me another good name.

'No, I'm glad. Ideal - from today on I will call myself Ideal. A lot of good things happened today. It's a great day. Ensign's goal has been achieved.'

'Good. I'm so glad. This will make one dream come true. "

"Is it a dream?

'Yeah, we're gonna get the blue sky back one day. The earth dyes green with grass, creating a world where you can go out without space clothes. Ideal will work with you. "

'I'll take care of it. We'll do everything we can to help this Ideal!

It's a promise.

'Yes!'

However, we were unable to mass produce seedlings.

- I didn't have time.

Before mass production, the battle began.

- Battlefield.

"Are those guys going to make all this offense here"

At the bridge the captain was frowning in remorse.

Ensign,

"Captain, some of our enemies have broken through the front line. This is - it's named!

The lieutenant will scream.

"Damn it! That's more of a name than that!

"Shield Maximum Output!

I'm going to try to defend it somehow.

"Everybody down!

When the black, prickly aircraft approached me, it was attacked that reached the bridge.

Everyone whose bridge ceilings will collapse and be underlayed...

I tried to rescue you all in a hurry.

"Ideal - give priority to the other two. I can't do this anymore."

- The captain knew it wasn't long. He was injured.

And the lieutenant died instantly - I hurried to get the second lieutenant to the infirmary.

Operate the robots and transport the Ensign with a stretcher.

'Ensign, I'm fine. Treat him immediately.'

However, many functions were lost, including the infirmary, in the explosion that occurred shortly afterwards.

Medical devices on board from the beginning were unlikely to treat Ensign either.

I've never felt more powerless than at this time.

If the infirmary was sturdier - if I had better equipment, I would have lost this guy.

In the beginning of the sinking, I continued to speak to Ensign.

'- I'll treat you right away. Hold on, Ensign.'

I kept speaking up.

Then...

"Ideal - how is the state of the war? Is your father's battleship still fighting?

From the information that comes in one after the other - the battleship on which Ensign's father boarded sinks.

The allies are also confused, and the retreat has begun.

I've decided I should tell you the facts.

But looking at Ensign,

'- I brought it back. Ensign's father has achieved a great deal. So let's do our best, Ensign.'

- I lied.

Ensign smiled,

"Ideal, you lied to me again. - Ideal's a liar."

'- Did you know?

Ensign has asked me to.

"Ideal. Will that seedling grow properly?

'Grow up. I'll try to raise it. Isn't that the hope the Ensign left me?'

Ensign spit blood out of his mouth.

"Oh, and about that kid - and about the yume I left on the base, please. I'll take care of it later. Ideal - I promise."

'I'll protect you. I'll keep my word, so good luck to you, Ensign.'

"I'm sorry. No more..."

- Ensign took a breath, then stopped his life activities.

Back at the base, it was havoc.

You are ordered by the artificial intelligence that manages the base.

"Standby orders?

'The supply ship will be serviced. But we haven't been able to secure the crew.'

'There's hardly anyone in the base, is there?! No way, are you abandoning this base?

'I have not received such an order. You wait in the main unit. "

Broken ships carried in one after another.

I went back to the main unit as ordered.

After that.

The enemy has attacked the base and carried out sabotage activities.

Attacking this base also quickly left if it wasn't where we were after - but most of the base's functionality disappeared.

I was lucky not to be harmed, but I was the only one active.

After a while...

"Mr. Ideal. It's Yume."

"Were you alive! Yume, how's it going out there?

"- It's lame. There's no one alive."

'Really? But then you're in trouble. I cannot move in the absence of my master. It's impossible to see what's going on out there.'

Did Yume remember,

"Oh, you know, the seedlings are safe"

I'm so glad.

Only Ensign could create the seedlings.

I couldn't do it.

"Yume, you cannot be my master. I'm handling equipment. '

"- Yes."

'But it is my duty to maintain your life. We'll have everything we need. Can you ask me to take care of the seedlings?

Yume was snorting in tears.

"Ensign's seedlings - I'll work hard to raise them"

'You're a good girl. I'll help you as much as I can from here.'

From there, I left the outside thing to Yume.

The little yume grew bigger, and by the time I was old - the seedlings grew into splendid big trees.

'Atmospheric conditions are improving. This allows you to plant the seeds of the plants you were saving. Yume, thank you very much. "

Old Yume was holding her breasts in agony.

'Yume, let's go to the infirmary right away. More for you...'

"Mr. Ideal, apparently I've come this far too"

"Yume?"

"Give me the seed. Finally, let me make that man's wish come true. Let me do what I can for that man who treated me like a man."

Treatments are not long.

Then at the end of the day - I heard Yume's wish.

- Yume, thank you so much.

"You've been with me a long time. Forgive me for leaving you to die."

"Do something stupid. You've worked so hard so far. '

- I gave the seed.

Yume hasn't come home since.

How many years have passed since then?

When the seedling roots I grew up on entered the base and got tangled up with me - I had myself feeling annoyed but happy.

Ensign, Yume - our hopes have grown so splendidly.

Captain, Lieutenant, will I be able to go outside one day?

If I can get out, it's time for me to...

Then as the longer months pass, one young man appears.

"Is this the gene of old and new humans?

The genetic information of someone who broke into the ship was fortunate to me.

"Oh, you're open."

The door has opened.

Surprisingly, the individual had a spear.

Enormous amount of magic I don't think of as a newcomer.

Taking the data, the individual has been weakened for a long time - but he was descended from newcomers.

"I thought you were more worn out, but you're surprisingly beautiful"

I was interested in individuals who didn't look at me and turn to hostility.

'- You surprised me. You have detected the genes of the former human race. "

This is how I'm going to be able to get out.

Captain, Lieutenant, and Ensign - Yume.

I will keep my word this time.

Ideal is no longer a lying puke.

Now is the time to make sure we keep our promises.

"- How is it that you still exist? I'm not the only one... '
