Unparalleled Path ~ Reincarnated as the AI for a Space Battleship ~ Chapter 23

「I am a descendant of the Warring States daimyo.」Sakurako said.

The surrounding students got noisy.

I was in history class and the students were divided into groups of six people. I stuck close to the desk and faced the task at hand. On the blackboard is written『Let's make my own family tree​』

「Who said such a lie?」Sakurako's friend, Kunitachi Yukako said.

Sakurako mentioned the name of a famous warlord and the whole classroom rose their voice.

Another dream, I thought. It was that time in April.

「That's awesome! Though, I don't see any portraits in history books resembling Sakurako.」

「Rather, I'd be shocked if I saw such a strange picture resembling Sakurako. I think you'd look similar to △△ though. Right, Asagaykun?」

「No, If I had to say then I feel like you'd look similar to ○○」I said.

Yukako laughed.

「No, you're exaggerating.」

「It's not an exaggeration!」

Sakurako laughed as Yakako flammed.

At this time, I brought up the name of a popular young actress. I wasn't that familiar with the entertainment industry so I didn't know much but thanks to that the distance between Sakurako and I shortened.

That said, after reviewing my dream again I feel that she resembles someone I know. I have not seen their face in class yet.

「Asagaya, A portion of memory is idle. Concentrate.」

Sohaira took a look at the situation report from Vega at her seat. Her voice was full of anger.

For a moment, her face overlapped with Sakurako.

My consciousness returns to reality. When my body became a battlecruiser, enormous data surged towards me. The restoration situation of the hull shell; remaining number of mass bullets; placement of enemy ships in the star system; Ram Seeds in the ship's kitchen──which resembled the sunflower seeds of the planet Harem soaked in seasoning similar to soy sauce.

「Are you still angry? I have said this many times, I did not see you naked.」I said to Sohaira over the intercom.

「Then I'll point it out any number of times. You have the ability to see anywhere on this ship don't you? Then how could you not have? That argument is pointless.」

「I did not see.」

In truth, I did see.

I have put her under 24 hour observation in response to instructions from the security department. However I do have minimum courtesy so when she was having private time I switched to infrared mode.

Well, I am a healthy high school student. It's not that I am not interested in the naked body of a woman, but If I look at the enormous collection of erotic videos in the personal files of the male crew then it's enough. To sneak a peek at such a trap technique that is Sohaira's explosive body is something I cannot do. Well, I never managed to switch mode in time though──.

「My point is, you think I'm an A.I. right? If that's the case, what's the problem if you were being watched?」

「That is, Well, I feel Qualia from you. Which is to say that's the same as being seen by boys of the same age!」Sohaira hesitated to say.

「I said I didn't see.」

「Fine? Captain's orders. From now on, I won't allow behaviour like peeping in on my room. If you do you'll receive an immediate thought punishment.」

She said as much and cut off communication.

I felt anger and despair. Although I certainly did see her room it was because of the security division's request. To be called a peeping tom was totally unexpected.

Sohaira sunk into the Captain's seat while concealing her good form.

She called Vega on a secret, dedicated line for the Captain's use. It is a special line that is not recorded by the ship's A.I. however I can read their lips by analyzing the bridge image.

Sohaira said this. 「Is there any possibility that Asagaya was a human being like he said?」

Vega set up a personal sound insulation field at her seat.

There are many surveillance cameras and listening devices at various points of the bridge that I can use to observe.

「No.」

When Sohaira showed the reasoning for questioning whether I was from『Home』, Vega shook her head slightly.

「Home was long destroyed in ancient times. For thousands of years, tens of thousands of years; hundreds of millions of treasure hunters have taken up the challenge in finding it but could not even discover any traces. At the time of the ancient war it was said that some super weapon destroyed each planet however that is the typical viewpoint.」

Now I no longer have internal organs but something within me tightens and contracts in its place. It was my reaction furnace; at my stomach the engine engineers panicked.

The earth died?

The reality I pretended not to see approached and weighed on me heavily.

My father, mother, friends and my teacher died long ago. Not one left. All of them had become so far away. But still; somewhere in my heart they are still on earth alive and well, There was a part of me that thought that. Just because they are not within my reach doesn't mean everyone is not in their original place.

That, even the original place was gone.

I no longer have friends in this world.

Not even an acquaintance.

A sense of loneliness enshrouded me.

Within this infinite universe, I was alone.

Thank you for reading! We got a shorter chapter this time which ended on a low note. Hopefully our Asagaykun will find a new place in the universe. Personally I want to see him make an android body for himself and walk among the crew… Because this is the first time I've done any translation work I'm a bit nervous as to whether I've done this chapter justice. If you want to make any changes to this chapter you can request an update of the draft on  and I will update the chapter here.
