Faraway Survivor

Chapter 61: Her Confession



-We are finally here my lady. (001)

-I think we go a bit too far, 001. (Farah)

By the time we reached the destination, I found we are nowhere near the city. I'm currently on a beach and there is no one beside us.

001 seems to notice my nervousness and inform me.

-Don't worry, my lady. I will take you back home in time for dinner. Otherwise, the head maid will carry out a weird punishment for me again. (001)

-Ahahaha.(Farah)

I go around and find a tidy place on the sandy beach and sit on it. 001 approaches and sits next to me.

-My lady. (001)

-Yes? (Farah)

001 takes out a notebook from her pockets and ready to write something.

-What do you feel about the sight of the beach? (001)

I look at the beach and tell 001.

-It's quite relaxing. (Farah)

001 start writing after she heard what I stated.

-Are you learning about human emotion, 001? (Farah)

001 seems to be surprised at my question.

-Ehhh? How could you know that my lady? (001)

-You were quite like Hana in the past. (Farah)

-I am? (001)

-Yes, Hana used to note down everything when we were together.

001 starts looking at herself and places her hand on her heart.

-So we are quite alike. (001)

I smile at her and said.

-The reason that you pull the prank on Hana is to make her notice you right, 001? (Farah)

-....(001)

001 puts her arms in the air.

-I give up, my lady. You even notice that. (001)

-Hehe, it's not that impressive. I can see it clearly from your action. (Farah)

-My lady. (001)

-Yes? (Farah)

-Would you like to hear my story? (001)

-I would. (Farah)

001 starts narrating her story.

-I was born from the nanomachine. The first thing I saw when I came into this world was the head maid. She is cold and acts indifferently on us. (001)

001 continues looking at the sea with sad eyes.

-Our few first missions are to clean "bug" and clear out "trash." It's quite an unpleasant job. We need to do it repeatedly like a cold machine. And those missions are our sole purpose to exist. (001)

-...(Farah)

-Then one day we discover our head maid is not just a cold person. When she mentioned a girl name "Farah" the atmosphere around her start to brighten up. (001)

001 starts looking at me.

-At that time, we learned to know about the existence of my lady. (001)

-There is a folder about my lady in the system, but we never paid attention to it since it's not our job. But when we unseal it, it totally changes our life. (001)

001 smiles at me.

-We got to learn your story and your characters through the file on the system. We slowly idolize you as the only goddess of ours. (001)

001 comes close and caressing my head.

-We start seeing you like the one we must take all effort to protect. (001)

My face becomes redder because of 001's sudden confession.

The atmosphere of us starts becoming awkward.

-My lady you don't need to accept us immediately. (001)

001 makes a playful smile:

-We will always stay behind and support you, my lady. (001)

I look at her.

-Thanks, 001. (Farah)

-Your welcome, my lady. (001)

I'm curious and ask her.

-Uhmm, is 001 your code name, or is it the name yours? (Farah)

She instantly answers.

-It's our series names master. We still don't have a thing considered a name yet. (001)

-Do you want me to give you a name? (Farah)

-That would be so great, my lady. (001)

-How about Akuji sound? The name means mischief. Since you like to play a prank on others so I think this name will fit you most. (Farah)

-Akuji...Akuji. It indeed fits me, my lady. I will take that name. (Akuji)

Akuji starts laughing.

-The other leader will be extremely envious of my name. (Akuji)

Akuji shouts out when she looked at the clock.

-What! It's already this late. We need to come back soon. (Akuji)

Akuji places me in her arm and starts running.

-Akuji, please be a bit slower, I will fall at this rate. (Farah)

-Hold on tight my lady, we need to be back as soon as possible. (Akuji)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We manage to reach the mansion before dinner time.

-Phew we manage to get back in time. That's quite lucky, my lady. (Akuji)

Akuji asks me with a mischievous face.

-And my lady? (Akuji)

-Yes? (Farah)

-What would you do with a head maid if I didn't appear last night? (Akuji)

My face slowly becomes flushed.

-...Uhmm we would do a french kiss. (Farah)

-EH? Shouldn't you perform "that" with the head maid? (Akuji)

-That? (Farah)

-I mean Se...(Akuji)

Before Akuji can complete her line some kind of energy spear shoots from the house at her. Akuji manages to dodge it in time.

-Head maid, do you know that I will die if that spear hit me? (Akuji)

-You shouldn't tell Farah about that, 001. (Hana)

-Right, head maid. However, my name is Akuji now. It's the name my lady give to me. (Akuji)

-Akuji your job is done for today. You can return to the base. (Hana)

-Don't be so cold, head maid. I want to have dinner with, my lady. (Akuji)

-BACK! (Hana)

Before Akuji goes, she winks and notifies me.

-Well, I will tell my lady about that later. (Akuji)

-Akuji!(Hana)

Akuji gradually disappears from my sight.

-Did that girl do anything weird to you, master? (Hana)

-No, I have a quite fun time with her. (Farah)

-That would be great. (Hana)

I ask Hana.

-But Hana?(Farah)

-Yes, master.(Hana)

-What did Akuji mean by "that"?(Farah)

-You are still too young master. I will teach you about that later.(Hana)

-Moh, I'm older than I look you know.(Farah)

Hana tries to distract me:

-Let's go and have dinner, master.(Hana)

-Moh, Hana.(Farah)
