YGDA Ch 36

Chapter 36 – Your Own Worth is for Yourself to Decide




“I accept my contract with you. But I will still not give you the permission to any command that could be considered a s an act of suicide of your own being”


Renya declares it clearly.
How could he done such cruel selfish thing to the girl even though she is an artificial life-form. She was born from negligent joke-like reason that causes her long suffering and in the end with the selfish reason as to keep human life save she has to be erased just like that… Renya won’t forgive such deed even if it was right.


“Eventhough you are just a two dimension being…… you are still a pretty girl! And there aren’t anything heavier than a beautiful girl life!”
[Haa…… Err, for your information, I, for once, also can take form in the three-dimensional plane that my honored guests currently are by the way]
“Say what?”


Immediately after she finishes talking, Anrietta starts crawling out from the screen and materialized in the world.
Of course she appeared not in sheet like two dimension form but in a normal three dimensional body form that is similar to that of a human woman.
Everyone freeze, they can’t react to the thing that is just happening in front of them. The air around them become kinda heavier but Renya forcefully continues the talk. That’s right even though Anrietta can morph into a three dimensional living being she is still herself, the same valuable beautiful girl!


“N-no, well. Anyway, the fact that you can take a three dimensional form is not something that can decrease your value as a living being. Then again why did you have such kind of power anyway……”
[According to creator, it was an exquisite romance of having a girl that can jump out from the screen to morph into a real girl. Or so I heard……]
“I, once again recognize Irikutta as the most dangerous being in the world. If I know where he is now I should go as fast as I could to bring him to an end. Because if I don’t, who knows what danger might happen”


Is he really a god that comes from this world? There is a similar conception with that god roman that Renya knows. And it comes from Renya previous world, Earth. Hearing that Irikutta also have the same kind of conception make him think of a possibility of Irikutta actually comes from the same world as him. Not to mention that he should have lived in an age that is close to the age when Renya still alive. Irikutta way of thinking is really similar to that of a modern age man.

To the god that he only saw through the screen, he held an abnormal sense of fear in a lot of meaning. To forcefully cast of the damp atmosphere that hangs around, Renya lightly cough and continues the talk.


“Well anyway, I am a god. If I do think about throwing the world into chaos then I don’t really need this ship anyway as I can do it myself. So because of that I can’t think of this ship as a dangerous object. Rather, I think that it would be better for this ship to be managed by me”
[That is indeed an appreciated offer for me… but…]
“No buts no nothing. In the first place you have been trapped inside this place since you were created so that means you never experienced sailing in the seas or soaring in the skies right?”
[That is correct. But just for your information, I have checked this ship design and functionality and I found no problem regarding sailing and flying]
“Then let me use that functionality to my heart content. At last, my long cherished desire to roam around in the seas and skies can be accomplished without a hitch”


There is nothing more pitiful than a stored tool.
If it was an original tool that have experienced many repeated enhancement of original ideas and at last completed in becoming a unique one then it might not be too sad. But if it was a tool that created half heartedly-half jokingly and because of the creator selfishness then got hidden away in the depth of a dungeon then just how sad is that? Moreover, from the way its owner uses it, it can be become a world destroying tool so it should be destroyed before really doing any harm.
It was outrageous, too unreasonable. That was Renya’s conclusion.

He can’t help but to recognize that Irikutta is really a genius that is just exactly as he claims it which makes Renya s a bit uncomfortable but he also can’t deny that how one use their tool is depended upon its user.


“Anrietta, I will take responsibility and manage this ship. Or rather, let me use this ship please. Tthe ship existence and for the things that might happen in the future, any and every thing of this ship, I will gladly take responsibility for them all. And you ---- the reason of you being born in this world as the manager of this ship, I shall return it to its proper path”
[…… Is that really alright?]
“I said it is good so it is good. After all it would be a total waste if this ship were to be destroyed much less to let it go public. This ship is already mine and only mine so I won’t let it fall to other people hand!”
[What an unreasonable reason that is]
“Of course it is, after all I just got reborn as a god. Of course I will be selfish”


Renya smiled like a mischievous kid while having his thumbs up facing Anrietta from up front.
Anrietta who doesn’t understand the meaning of Renya’s gesture just stand there still with her expressionless look but, in the corner of her lips is a slight curve of smile. Seeing that smile, Renya had his conviction. This artificial life-form really does have emotion. Different from the other robot-like artificial life-form she is an authentic life which is yet to be matured.


[Acknowledged. Then let us perform the contract ceremony]
“Alright. So, what should I do?”
[Please touch my hand. The necessary information will then flows through once you do]
“Okay”


Renya held Anrietta small hands lightly. When he does, Anrietta’s body starts to glow faintly. An array of magical runes floats around her. Those runes fly about circling Renya just like it was doing a full body scan towards Renya.

[…… Nnn …… ahh…… nhh……]
“……… Err, are you, well…… alright?”


Hearing the little girl letting out such a dangerous sound that is not appropriate at all to her looks made Renya loses his composure.


[This is…… mmh…… just a normal response…… ahh…… that happens when exchanging information…… uuu…… for making up the contract…… so please don’t worry]
“Ah. Is. That. So…”


If she said it like that then it can’t be helped. The strange voice somehow made Renya think of something lewd so he can only avoid looking straight into Anrietta while praying that the contract ritual will over fast. Renya then spend a few minutes in such awkward position.


[I have finished obtaining the information. I hereby declared that the war god Renya Eastle-sama has become my master from this moment on. I am still inexperienced so I might have many things lacking but please treat me well]
“Aa, I’ll be relying on you a lot Anrietta”
[Master, I know this might be impolite but I have a request. Could you please call me by the nickname Anri?]
“I don’t have any problem with that…… but can I ask why?”
[It was nothing much really. If forced to say then I prefer to be called that way.]


This little girl really is a flexible artificial life-form. What made her body is not the same as humans but she reacts the same way as most human will. Renya can only look at her with admiration. But then again, thinking back about her creation process it seems like something natural.
If humans were to create human artificially then those artificially created human will have little to no emotions with them as humans might never understand how to reproduce such intangible thing like emotions. There is a vast amount of literary work which mentions this and it will take a while even for Renya to mention them all. Some example are like artificial human that can’t understand emotion or maybe a homunculus that looks like human but have a defective part within. There are little to no mentions even in the literary work about a human being able to create a complete life artificially.
But looking at Anrietta personal information, she is already a different being from the other artificial life. And that is because she was created by a god.
Theory of evolution aside, if it was according to the other theory where all kind of living beings was created directly by the god then the being known as Anrietta is, eventhough a bit disconnected, should be no different from any normal human there is.


[Then for the next, please give a name to the ship]
“…… Irikutta didn’t give it a name?”
[Yes, he is already satisfied with just by making it]


But a name eh? This kind of thing is not something that can be easily comes out at moment notice.
Renya also made countless of divine armaments but each time he gives those a name, he always ask for any related and necessary document from Floria. And by the way, Floria retrieved those with the help of earth’s internet.


“Yes yes! Floria’s ship is go “Rejected!” wah instant rejection!? ”


And the standard comedy duo short skit is cut even shorter just like that. Renya again, starts engrossed himself in thinking.


“I’m not that good at thinking about names like this, I’m sorry but I can’t help much……”
“I’m also the same. It is too sudden to think up a good name……”


Renya wants to ask Brenda and Elvira opinion about this matter as they seem to be thinking about it also but they only returned a troubled look. If that’s the case then there’s no other way beside relying on Therese rich knowledge.


“I-I-I also can’t th-think of a good name on the spot like this desu!”


Therese is having a very troubled expression that even just looking at her makes Renya feels pity. Well it can’t be helped. It is indeed a name that will be used by this much exaggerated ship so most people won’t be able to come up with a fitting name on the spot. But then again Therese doesn’t need to feel that much pressured by this as Renya smile wrily.

Then he only had himself to depend on in this situation. That was what Renya thinking at the time but then a sudden flash of idea sparked inside him. He himself is also wondering why he suddenly remember about that. Maybe it was because he had already experienced much troubles when trying to give names to his divine armaments that he somewhat become experienced at giving names.


“……Hlidskjalf……”
[Master? Is that name alright?]


Hlidskjalf
According to the myth in the northern part of the world where Renya lived before, it was the throne of the god Odin. According to the myth, this throne allows Odin to see through into all the realm existed.
This ship will become his, the war god throne. This throne is able to sail in the sea, soar in the sky, and look down upon the land. When he explained why he came up with that name to the other party member, they readily agreed to that name.


“It is decided then. This ship will be named Hlidskjalf from now on!”
[Acknowledged. Characteristic name as Hlidskjalf recorded…… master as the owner recorded…… authentication is complete. Commencing the dock surfacing sequence]


It is at this moment, the ancient ship that was created by a god’s capriciousness, became the throne of another newborn god and start soaring in the vast blue sky.




=+=



Hlidskjalf surfacing process was done rather easily that predicted.
The dock moves toward the surface just like an elevator going through numerous hatches. After it reaches the surface, the dock slowly turned into a catapult to help the ship take off process. There was a wide open field in front of the ruin and it was now turned into Hlidskjalf take off course.

And then Hlidskjalf smoothly take off from the land and slowly raising its altitude. Hlidskjalf trimaran design unique feature is the side hull that placed on each side of the ship and those side hulls are now turned into a kind of wings. It seems like to be morphing for the ‘flight mode’.


“It transformed!! This ship is damn amazing to have transformation function to match each situation! Woo hoo!”


Thus Renya getting his tension too high because of that. Looking at his childish expression, Floria and the others can only give a wry smile combined with a warm gaze. But not for Therese as she is also getting her tension passed her max point and frolicking around together with Renya. Seeing how the two hitting it off with each other perfectly like that, the others start to feel a little bit of jealousy.

Before the take off, Renya found a set of stealth system onboard like sound-prood, invisibility, and concealment to avoid any kind of detection. After turning on all the stealth system, Hlidskjalf fly straight toward the south and landed in the ocean.

When the ship is about to enters the ocean surface, the wing shaped side hull turns back into a normal side hull and stabilize the ship while it is sailing in the ocean. After they landed in the ocean, they had finished Hlidskjalf’s first flight and sail test. The party member let out a relieved sigh after the ship floats silently in the ocean.


“This ship is equipped with a set of perfect stealth function, perfect life necessities, perfect land and air threat countermeasure…… indeed with just only this one ship, I can take this whole world for myself……”
“Are you going to take it?”
“Absolutely no need. Rather I will do my best so this ship can be my one and only one ideal ship”
“Yeah, I know you will say that”

Floria can only chuckle lightly listening to Renya’s answer.
But then again Renya is really more than satisfied with the ship he ‘found’. How couldn’t he as this ship is already surpass his wildest imagination?
And in that opportunity, the artificial life-form Anrietta, who still in her three-dimensional form without going back inside the screen, grabs Renya hand and tug it a little to get his attention.


[Master, please forgive my intrusion but could I ask for a provision of divine power?]
“N? Okay, I don’t mind. Do you need it for the ship fuel to keep it moving or something? Can it be something else than my divine power?”
[Negative. That bastard of a creator says that if there is a limit in the movement then the owner of the ship couldn’t do as much as he pleases so that jerk design this ship so it can moves around by using a little bit from the natural mana that is drifting around in the atmosphere. Almost all other facility can also be operated with low cost. As long as there are even a little bit of mana left in the air, this ship can continue operating. Good grief that asshole thoroughly only did useless things like this]
“Anri, there is quite a few swearing mixed in you speech just now by the way”
[Please execuse me. It was thanks to master that I can get free from the shackles of that bas…… execuse me again, creator of mine. When thinking about that, it just came out intentionally]


She must hold a deep resentment toward that Irikutta. Seeing her scary vengeful form, Renya make a promise in his heart to never make Anri get angry. She is the one who hold all the function and facility in this ship in check so if she gets mad, there’s no telling what kind of retribution that she will do. Such unknown things of course will create fear even for Renya.


[Getting back to the divine power matter, at present, Hlidskjalf’s facility and function are greatly limited. Adding up to that, there is also a chance that the prick…… sorry, the creator might have installed some unknown traps within the ship. So with that reason, I want to use master’s divine power to clean up the entire ship, thus making Hlidskjalf completely under master’s control]
“Indeed there is a possibility of danger if it was used just as is, knowing that god personality”
[Yes. I think it’s better if all of his trace is completely and permanently be washed up. For that reason, I would like to ask master to provide me with the necessary divine power]
“Okay, what should I do?”
[Please just send the divine power through my hand]


Renya then start transferring his divine power in a slow pace to Anrietta just as what she asked.
Dim light particles can be seen floating around Anrietta and those light particles were getting absorbed by her. Anrietta then started to shiver in the process. At times she even starts to spasm, wriggling her body around.


[Nnn……… Master’s divine power……… it’s soo great……]
“Excuse me, but seeing that lewd figure and saying that line with lewd tone really making me feel a tremendously guilty feeling inside. And also, will you always be like this when I touch you?”
[I also don’t understand the reason but, I don’t hate this feeling. Aaaaa…… I’m scared. I think I would get addicted to it]
“If you could, the please don’t. Even now I think I might die from these gazes that stabbed my back”


Renya who is trembled in fear couldn’t even turn his head to look at the back. All he can do is begging to Anrietta to stop her antics.
At any rate his relation with Therese is already almost crosses the line. But now with Anri who looks even younger than Therese… it was already a straight out crime! If it was in the previous world then both of his hand would already be turned in the back. To top it off, nobody would take pity of him and will condemn him instead.


[Fuu…… I have received enough. Then I will start the cleaning up process]


With that said, Anrietta crawls back into the screen. It seems like her work efficiency is higher when she is within the screen.


“While waiting for Anri to finish her task, how about we tour around the ship and check everything inside?”
“I agree. We need to split the rooms and check out other facilities that is available too so we can comfortably live here anyway”


Brenda nods at Renya’s suggestion. When the party was about to leave the bridge, Floria suddenly realizes something and says:


“But Renya, you said that we will buy either a transporting device or a homebase with the reward money we got for efficiency reason. But now when we got both of it at once, what should we do with the money then?”
“””””A!”””””


And they are back to square one regarding their troubles with having too much money.
