Chapter Index

    ***

    Life at Base A-11 was good in its own way, but it was nothing compared to this new base.

    Life at the new base was prosperous.

    In fact, the situation was so good that it is difficult to even express it with the word affluent.

    First of all, NB… no, Isis brings me the food I want to eat each day.

    [Is there any food you would like to eat?]

    Every morning he wakes me up and asks. If I tell him what I want to eat while I’m still asleep, he will quickly prepare breakfast and serve it to me.

    After eating breakfast while half-asleep, before I know it, the face wash products are brought over.

    He even puts toothpaste on his toothbrush and puts it in his mouth to brush it.

    I tried to tell her that I would do it myself because she was being treated like a newborn, but Isis’s stubbornness was stronger than I thought, to the point where I wondered if she was the android I knew.

    [My body has not recovered yet. Please stay still.]

    I nod my head in understanding at the somewhat harsh tone of voice.

    After washing me like a mother lion washing her cubs, Isis asks about the lunch menu.

    If you tell me what you want to eat, you will be given some alone time, and it seems like you might go outside to get ingredients in your spare time.

    As you lay in bed or walk around the hospital room to relax, Isis, who made lunch, comes into the room.

    [It’s lunch.]

    If you eat lunch served by Isis rather than breakfast, you can begin a simple exercise.

    Although it was similar to the PT I was doing at home when I was caught by a fitness trainer one day, Isis still proceeded with the exercise while paying close attention to my body condition as much as possible.

    The main exercises were to loosen tight muscles or increase range of motion.

    When I sweated a little from moderate exercise, Isis brought a wet towel and wiped my body.

    I was a little embarrassed and said I would do it myself, but Isis ignored my opinion for the same reason.

    While I wait for evening to come, Isis sits by my side and talks to me.

    There was no special topic.

    Isis asked many questions about me.

    He asked me how I was feeling right now, what I liked, and what I didn’t like, and seemed to be trying to remember things quite seriously.

    They say they’re researching my tastes, but I’m not sure if that’s the information Android needs.

    We also had this conversation.

    [But, I managed to cure it. You said only simple treatment was possible. Because there is no medical module.]

    I was amazed to see the scar disappearing without a trace.

    [The knowledge I gained from the book was put to good use.]

    Isis said as she combed my tangled hair.

    [Books are amazing.]

    [Anyway, what would you like for dinner?]

    [Is meat available?]

    This kind of life is repeating itself.

    Is it because the peaceful times continue? Little by little, changes came to my body.

    First of all, I felt like I had grown a little taller, perhaps because I was growing up. I gained weight, but it was nice that it wasn’t unsightly.

    Yes, everything was good.

    However, this perfect life also had its drawbacks.

    It was just frustration.

    Maybe it was because of the memories of being incarcerated at one point, but I started to feel a bit sick of being confined to a hospital room.

    I said several times that I wanted to leave, but Isis flatly refused, saying it was too early.

    “……”

    When I want to go out, I look outside through the window in my hospital room.

    The view outside through the window of the hospital room showed a well-maintained park.

    Birds are chirping and flying from right to left, from bottom to top.

    A breeze blows and the tree branches sway, and a few leaves fall from the branches and begin to wander around Aaru.

    It is truly a beautiful scenery.

    When the desire to go out gets strong, I tend to control it by looking at this scenery.

    Sneaking out might have been an option, but there was no way to get around Aaru without Isis, avoiding the eyes of the Ark.

    If you walk a few steps, you will probably be caught by the drones.

    “Ah, I want to go out. It’s frustrating.”

    It was soon time for Isis to come home to make dinner. I pressed myself against the window to watch the sunset.

    Birds are chirping and flying from right to left, from bottom to top.

    A breeze blows and the tree branches sway, and a few leaves fall from the branches and begin to wander around Aaru.

    So I observe the scenery carefully.

    Watch the movement of birds and the shaking of tree branches.

    As I was spending time like that, I heard a sound from behind and Isis came into the hospital room.

    “It’s dinner time.”

    “Yes, thank you.”

    Isis started laying out food on the small table in front of the bed, and I sat in front of it as if it was natural.

    “Starting today, I will eat it myself.”

    I put the bowl in front of me and stop Isis from cutting.

    “But Kang In-ho’s body is still…”

    “No. Is it possible. So, give me a knife and fork.”

    He looks straight into Isis’s gray eyes and says.

    “…Okay.”

    Isis handed over the bowl without saying anything, and I started eating.

    Isis sat in front of me and never took her eyes off me, and it reminded me of a maid I once ate with, face to face.

    “Is there anything going on outside?”

    “Yes. Drone movements have also returned to normal. Perhaps the problem that faced the Ark has been resolved.”

    “Really? Well then, that’s good. I can go out too, right?”

    “I think it’s still too early. However, we will try to make it available in a month.”

    “Okay, I understand. Thank you.”

    “No. I just did my job.”

    “Wow, this is delicious.”

    As I dipped a piece of steak into the sauce and ate it, I stuck out my thumb and Isis nodded.

    “That’s right. What was the original name of the ark? Wasn’t the name a bit long? Tong….”

    “This is the Integrated System of Identification Saving.”

    “Ah, ah… that was the name. I forgot.”

    I continued eating, and Isis studied me.

    “Oh, can you bring me some cola? With zero cola.”

    “It is possible. Please wait a moment.”

    At my request, Isis got up and left the hospital room.

    I slowly got up and headed to the window. It will be seen as a view of the landscape until Isis returns.

    Birds are chirping and flying from right to left, from bottom to top.

    A breeze blows and the tree branches sway, and a few leaves fall from the branches and begin to wander around Aaru.

    …….

    …….

    Now I understand.

    And you have to accept it.

    NB no longer exists.
