MTLNOVEL Chapter 1344: Annoying Robot
-----
After talking a lot with my friends about the trials and everything, there were still a lot of things to discuss left, especially with Braveblitz, Aurora, and Nova, whom they were very curious about. But after a while and once it got dark, I decided to just tell my friends to leave them alone. They wanted to have their own time admiring this world, and the beauty of the starry night sky and the moon above the skies.
After helping my girlfriends with the dishes, I walked to the rooftop of the castle we had recovered, noticing Braveblitz sitting there, with Aurora and Nova floating in midair a bit above him.
"Hey, how are you three feeling so far?"
As they noticed me, they looked back at the sky once they gave me a brief look, it seemed they were quite enchanted by the starry night, even though it looked quite similar to outer space, seeing it from the surface of a beautiful planet, surrounded by nature, was a whole new experience for them altogether.
"I'm fine, just a bit… I don't know, tired?" Braveblitz wondered. "A lot happened today… And honestly, a while back ago I really thought I died. But now I'm back, and even in another world at that! Hahah…"
"Yeah, I was really upset when that happened…" I sighed, admitting it. "I'm glad you're not dead, Braveblitz."
"B-Blake…" he looked at me with his giant, artificial eyes, as I noticed some oil leaking from them.
Were those tears?
"Blake! I was also sad!"
He hugged me with his giant hands, grabbing me and lifting me up into the air.
"Aaagh! D-don't do that you damn…!"
With my strength, I quickly freed myself from his metallic grasp, staying airborne.
"You're so mean! I just wanted some brother bonding!"
"What the hell is brother bonding?! Don't do that again, you heard me?"
"A-Ah… okay…" He looked a bit upset, as I sighed.
"What happened to Bravelion though? Was he really just you?" I asked.
"Ah! Bravelion! He's within me!" He said. "He's just a part of my own body that contained a fragment of my consciousness, but not my memories. Now that I am back he's simply me."
"Oh, I could swear he had a different personality…" I said.
"H-He has the same! He's me!" Braveblitz became slightly agitated by hearing that.
"Hmm, really?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Y-Yeah!" He nodded nervously.
I looked at Aurora.
"Bravelion has developed enough to be its own being, the thing is, Braveblitz can only emerge when Bravelion transforms into the form he's in, he actually can go back to a pure Bravelion form, a head with legs and arms, and Braveblitz remains dormant until he transforms," Aurora said.
"Oh, so that's why you don't want me to call him back…" I nodded with a smile. "I kind of liked him more than you actually."
"E-EH?!" Braveblitz got super upset when I said that. "Y-You're so mean Blake! How can you say that?! What about our friendship and brotherly bonds?! IS EVERYTHING WE WENT THROUGH NOTHING TO YOU?! MY HEART! MY HEART IS BROKEN AND SHATTERED INTO PIECES!"
"Shut up!" I slammed his face with my hand, as he quickly went silent. "Some of my friends are sleeping and you're screaming so loud! Be respectful!"
"A-Ah! I apologize…" He muttered, fidgeting with his index fingers.
Why is this robot such a drama queen?
Seriously…
"Braveblitz, please behave better, okay?" Aurora asked him. "We're in a new world now, we must adapt to it and everything else."
"A-Ah, yes…" Braveblitz nodded. "The night is beautiful though… it reminds me of outer space, but… it feels nice, because we're in the surface of a planet. Gravity really does wonders to you, huh? It makes you feel like you belong in the ground and you're not just aimlessly floating in the middle of an endless void."
"Pwetty moon!" Nova said, flying around while pointing at the moon. "Can I twouch?"
"You can't reach the moon, Nova," I said. "At least not for now, it is too far away."
"Ooww…" She sighed, looking a bit sad after I said that.
"But maybe we could go?" Braveblitz wondered. "A little trip over there is nothing for me after all, we travel through space all the time!"
"I have never visited this world's moon but… I would rather not do that for now, it would be too intense and time consuming, just stay here, okay?" I said. "We could go with everyone else another day, perhaps. It would be a waste to not bring the rest of my friends."
"It's a deal then! No, a promise!" Braveblitz smiled. "Right? RIGHT?!" His artificial eyes were shining so brightly I almost went blind.
"S-Sure…" I groaned. "Now, what will you two do?"
"We'll just look at the moon, we don't really need to sleep ourselves," Aurora said.
"I wiw cwatch bugs!" Nova said, rushing down into the nearby forest and looking for bugs.
"Be careful though, there might be monsters lurking around," I told to Nova. "Well, my familiars are within the perimeter, so it should be fine either way. Good night."
I patted Braveblitz's metal leg and walked away.
"Good night!"
He looked at me with a smirk, giving me a thumbs up.
Hah, I never would've imagined this guy would be with me in Spiritias.
Truly, life is full of surprises.
"Haah… I should take a warm bath now, I'm exhausted."
I walked into the large bathroom, finding that there was already warm water prepared, was someone going to take a bath here?
"Blake! We were waiting for you! What took you so long?"
"You're finally done? Let's take a bath together, dear."
"The water is warm and cozy, I'll wash your hair and back with this elven soap, it's quite aromatic."
Erika, Elizabeth, and Eleanora were waiting for me there, sitting while only wearing white towels wrapped around their chests…
"H-Hmm?! Wait a second, I would... prefer to take a bath on my own…" I muttered. "You shouldn't really bother…"
"Nonsense! I'm your girlfriend now, right? And we're going to get married too! So what's wrong? We'll do this all the time once we start living together, heheh!" Erika giggled, as she ran to my side, beginning to undress me.
"Erika?! Wait…!"
She was quite quick to act.
