EPS 17; I didn't know mom was sick,

The way back to the spacecraft was covered in total silence.

After the excitement of seeing Camilla's power leave Riota, her expression turned complicated.Riota remembered that she was the reason Camilla was swallowed by the monster.

If it was not Camilla but someone else without the ability to escape from that situation, then today would have ended in tragedy.

Riota hates that. He hated that his carelessness was endangering his mother. He had always prided himself on having survived the Land of Exile alone, but this time, his recklessness almost caused tragedy.

Camilla also seemed to be thinking of something, so she did not pay attention to Riota's mood. Tito was the only one who looked 'normal', but as a very professional AI, he remained silent to not disturb his master's thoughts.

When the carriage arrived on the spacecraft, Riota finally opened her mouth and spoke.

"Mother, I'm sorry I was so careless and not careful ..."

"My son is okay the most important thing is you're not wretched and okay?" [ Camilla ]

"If, if I were more vigilant, this wouldn't happen to mom." [ The Riota ]

Camilla smiled. "Don't worry about that, my son. It's normal for children to make mistakes, and as parents, it's a mother's job to make sure that you have the opportunity to learn about your mistakes, son."

Riota bit his lips and lowered his gaze. For some reason, hearing Camilla call him a child only made him feel more embarrassed and upset.

"... Riota shouted loudly and firmly ', Mother!. I swear and promise you my carelessness will not be repeated please forgive me mother!....

Camilla smiled warmly then spoke, "thehehe My son you are so cute alright don't yell anymore huh?"

"mother I reiterate once again I swear and I promise you, it won't happen again." Riota looked up with a stern expression and both of his knees were bent. "mother please forgive me and I swear this incident did not happen again and I promise you I will be strong enough to never harm you. I swear! I will always be; always be with you and protect yourself mom!"

Camila was stunned, but in the next second, she smiled.

His smile, however, hid his deep pain.

"My dear son I'll wait for that." He said softly. "Now go to the healing room there. Let you get checked for medical treatment and hopefully get well soon my son."

...

A few minutes later, Camilla and Riota split up.

"Cough, cough, cough [uhuk uhuk uhuk...!"  [Camilla coughed cough and chest tightness and her face was pale ]

A loud coughing sound echoed in Camilla's room. He leaned his body forward and spewed out some mouthfuls of blood and pieces of internal organs.

When her cough finally ended, she wiped the blood on her lips and looked at Tito with a tired face.

"... Tito, give me a diagnostic."

[... Master, using your abilities this time causes a huge burden to your body. The process of necrosis is drastically accelerated and damages some of your internal organs.]

Camilla fell silent. He looked at the ground and took a deep breath.

"... How much longer do I have the power of my life, Tito?"

[... Less than a year.] Answer Tito after the break.

Camilla bit her lip. "... fiiuuh Very little yah."

The next second, he smiled bitterly.

"It's ironic, one year ago my greatest wish was to die, but now, I want a little more time to be with my dear Son..."

Tito remained silent. It floated around its master and asked.

[I don't understand Master. If you live on a spaceship, this will not happen.]

"You're right, Tito, but I'm a mother. When you told me that you detected a life signal similar to a food eater, I could not stand still without doing anything knowing the danger it could pose to my son ... Fortunately, it was a false alarm."

"That's great..." Camilla breathed a sigh of relief. He then lay down on the bed and used his arms to cover his eyes.

Suddenly, he spoke.

"Tito, what do you think will happen to my son once I'm gone?"

[......]

"... I'm worried, Tito. My son is a pathetic child. Even if I, his only family, leave him, he'll be ruined."

[Don't worry young Master Master is very strong, sir.]

"Do you think so?" Camilla smiled self-deprecatingly. "... I'm a coward. I can't even tell her the truth."

Tito did not answer.

"Tito, I've been thinking all along... Do you remember the project I was working on when the aliens attacked us?"

[Master I remember. Your Valkyrie project.]

"Yes, I've been looking for a way to combine the human brain with AI."

[Master's progress in that field is impressive. If you are given twenty more years, I will succeed.]

Camilla chuckles bitterly.

"Actually, I've succeeded."

[...]

"Just before we were attacked, I made a big breakthrough. I have seventy percent confidence in creating a Valkyrie hybrid. The perfect war machine to guard and accompany my Son when I die."

[So then I understood Master.]

"... If I make a Valkyrie for my Son to protect her and stay with her when I'm gone ... Will he be happy?"

Tito stopped moving. [Sir, you're not thinking of using your body to experiment to make Valkiry.].

"No. My body was too damaged to endure the operation. Even if I wanted to, it's impossible."

[... Master But if not you, where will you find a suitable body?]

Camilla's expression turned complicated. He was silent for a moment before sighing.

"... There's a matching body on this spaceship."

[... That's so.] Tito instantly understood the Master's intent..

"I'm pretty sure I'm the worst mother in the world." Camilla chuckled in a self-deprecating manner. "First, I left my daughter dead before my eyes, then, I recognized a boy and made him my son irresponsibly despite knowing the pain I was going to cause him. And now, I will stain my daughter's body to open the future for my dear son ...

A heavy silence filled the room. As an AI, Tito could not find a way to comfort his master.

He could not understand the feelings of his master..

"Tito, prepare the body of my daughter and her laboratory. This will be my last gift to my son."

The only thing he could do was follow his Master's orders..

[Understood, Master.]

Such is his fate as an AI that is always ruled..
