The Moment Elysia Confess Her Love, War Wages On the Ship

“I’m here for an inspection~”

Elysia promptly changed the subject, her gaze shifting to the Captain’s daily work interface, where a series of navigation summaries were displayed. The romantic words had been hidden by Ai-chan, replaced by highly professional log summaries.

“How does the Captain usually work?”

“Well, I can’t really call it work.”

Luo Ming sat down casually, revealing his professionalism as if he couldn’t wait to show it off to his girlfriend.

These little thoughts naturally couldn’t escape Elysia’s notice.

She smiled lightly, spun in place, gave a slight smile, and patiently waited for Luo Ming to explain.

In front of the Captain, she was more than willing to play the role of a quiet listener, as after all, even a quiet-listening literature department beauty had a unique charm.

“Actually, my daily work as the Captain isn’t that much.”

Luo Ming shook his head and said, “Weapon development is coordinated with the equipment department in Ai-Chan and other places. Cleaning is done by intelligent floor-cleaning robots. The cafeteria is managed by Mei, and the network security engineer is Bronya…”

“What about the captain?” Elysia asked, her question perfectly timed. She didn’t sit in a chair next to him but leaned forward, her hand resting on the table, stretching her slender body gracefully, like a lazy cat.

“Hmm?” The breeze brushed against Luo Ming’s ear, soft and fragrant. The simple captain’s quarters had suddenly taken on an air of luxury. Luo Ming rested his chin on his hand, forgetting all the words he had planned.

“What’s wrong, Captain? Have you been captivated by a pretty girl? Don’t worry; Elysia won’t run away.”

“…”

“My job is to observe and decide, to choose which world to go to. Although theoretically, every branch on the World Tree has countless leaves, each representing a world, when you expand to the vast dimensions of the Imaginary Tree and the Sea Of Quanta, any number seems small.”

He set aside his shy emotions and explained everything smoothly. Elysia nodded in understanding.

“I think I understand, Captain. You’re really amazing.”

She clapped her hands lightly and cheerfully.

Elysia smiled, stopped clapping, and with one hand supporting her chin, her other hand moved up Luo Ming’s arm, climbing onto his shoulder.

“You know, we’re boyfriend and girlfriend, right?”

Elysia got even closer, “We have a bond, don’t we? The Captain just arrived in a strange world, memory wiped clean, and seeing my cute face, everything came back, right? Hmm…it’s quite romantic to think about, isn’t it?”

This was a lie. She just wanted to compete with the other Valkyries and not let anyone take advantage of the memory loss. As for why the Captain had amnesia, Elysia thought it was like something out of a romance novel, which she found quite enjoyable. She didn’t want the other Valkyries to give up completely and kept charging forward, while she guarded the piece of meat that was about to be delivered to her mouth, watching a group of lionesses nearby with hungry eyes. She enjoyed the feeling of having something others wanted.

Elysia wanted anything that someone else was trying to take.

“Alright, since the quota has always been my decision.”

Luo Ming nodded.

Elysia immediately showed an excited expression, extended her other hand, and with a fluid motion, lifted Luo Ming’s face, lightly pecking him on the cheek.

“Mua~ I’m giving you a flower.”

“Captain, you mustn’t go back on your word. Consider this flower a token.”

She didn’t turn around but gracefully moved backward. As Elysia moved back, pink crystals gradually gathered in the air, forming the shape of petals. It was a budding rose, reflecting a faint glow.

Like a butterfly about to float away with the wind.

“Seeing this flower, you should remember me.”

The cabin door slowly closed, and Luo Ming grabbed the falling rose from the air, feeling his own cheek.

“Sigh…”

It felt like he had exhaled all the air from his lungs in an instant, and he collapsed in the captain’s chair as if every bone in his body had been drained.

“Women really have magical powers. I immediately feel powerless; it’s probably because my body has deteriorated.”

“Boss, according to the biological knowledge stored in the Hyperion Library, that kind of thing usually happens when making babies without restraint. Boss and she haven’t reached the stage where it would affect your health.”

Ai-Chan, once again, dampened the mood.

Luo Ming ignored her.

But she seemed particularly eager to get Luo Ming’s attention and only reluctantly stopped after making several inappropriate comments.

As the observation ended, Luo Ming closed the holographic screen, took a comfortable bath in the massage bathtub, and lay on the luxurious round bed with a radius of two meters, drifting into slumber.

A two-meter radius round bed, I really had foresight.

Don’t be fooled by its size now; when I sleep with Elysia, it might not be enough!

Luo Ming thought proudly.

Luo Ming fell asleep, and the lights on the Hyperion gradually dimmed.

Everything fell into silence.

But in this dense, impenetrable darkness, something quietly began to work.

One sensing device after another powered up, and electric currents flowed smoothly. Mechanical beasts awoke in the dark ship, and they began to move one by one…

These devices were all automated, needing no human supervision. They were controlled by the ship’s AI, Ai-Chan.

Therefore, even in total darkness, they operated without delay.

In a room.

Square screens of various sizes covered the walls and ceiling. A cabbage-headed girl leaped gracefully from one screen to another. She had green hair and red eyes, looking no different from other teenage girls.

“Cough, cough, cough!”

The volume was turned down to the minimum, and the door gap was vacuum-sealed. This place was undisturbed.

“Let the voting meeting for Ai-Chan’s cyborg body production begin!”

The Ai-Chan on the screen blinked at the Ai-Chan in the darkness. The Ai-Chan with mechanical arms waved them orderly, as if cheering. The Ai-Chan with a sound system raised it high, and from it, the sound of fireworks exploding continuously echoed. Then, the thunderous cheers echoed from the sound system…

“Unanimous approval!”

The one proposing, voting, and cheering was all Ai-Chan herself.

On the largest screen, the teenage girl with green hair and red eyes stood in an empty room, and the screen displayed a window sill, with a slight breeze lifting a corner of the curtains.

All was quiet.

Ai-Chan suddenly thought of something unrelated.

The canned cheers she had played earlier came from a world bubble, the North American Broadcasting Company in 1925, so fundamentally, the people who cheered just now are all dead.

Suddenly, it felt like she had been struck by immense loneliness.

Confusion and incomprehension filled her bright red pupils.

On a quiet night on the Hyperion, an AI began to long for a physical body.
