"I should be checking the Captain. It's over 7AM." - Rita said, as heading to your room. "That's strange, even it's his day off today, but he haven't wake up yet."

Rita knocks on the door for a few times, then wait for a few seconds.

There's no respond.

"... Then i'll..." - She slowly opens the door, and stepping inside. "Captain?"

"Ah... Yes." - You immediately get up, as you didn't sleep for a night and got the silence broke by her.

"Hm? Captain, is there anything wrong?"

"Um... No. No. What time is it i forgot..." - You put a hand on your forehead.

"It's over 7AM. Captain, is there anything wrong?"

"... No. Guess i worked much. Anyways... Thank you for waking me up." - You said, and smiles.

"Okay, i'll go prepare the breakfast."

"Thanks."

After the maid leaves, you starting to take your stuffs too. And ready to heading out.

Going to your office, after having breakfast.

None of the Valkyries has talk to you, except Rita.

Even it's a day off, you still working on something you can find.

That something is a paper. You're thinking about retirement. Away from Hyperion.

I mean... Why you should be here? When there is no respect for you from anyone in here?

They all doesn't like you, so what is the matter of staying any longer?

But you've thinking about it.

And done, the resignation paper.

You're about to giving it to Otto, if you ever have a chance to do that again.

"Ay, bossu." - Ai-chan appears.

"Ai-chan?..." - You're thinking if she hates you like the others or not.

"Ay, bossu. You seem sad, anything wrong? And what is that paper on your hand?" - She ask.

"..." - You stands up, lock the door. "Ai-chan, disable every camera in this room."

"... I don't get it. But... I got it, bossu." - She said, and all the camera in the office went down.

"Good." - You sit down on couch. "Tell me. Do you hate me?"

"Why should i?"

"... What?"

"I mean... Why should i hate you? Is it because what happened last night? I have recorded everything. And i keeping all of them by myself. I haven't share it to anyone yet." - She said.

"... Haha... What am i doing..." - You smiles, but also looks down. "Talking to a bot..."

"Bossu?"

"I mean... You're completely different from them. They all..... They..." - You wanted to say it out, but you can't. "I mean... I'm appreciate the fact you doesn't hate me, but that is what you are programmed to. Right? After all, you're just an A.I. Program. Nothing less or more than it."

"Bossu? You okay?"

"You always tried to act like you're an intelligence A.I. But... You're just a program. No emotions, no feelings. That's what makes you different from them."

"..."

"... I'm sorry. And... Can you send this to Otto?" - You place the paper down the table.

"This is..."

"I'll be no longer in this Captain position. I am not worthy enough to do it. Probably they're right. I am the worst Captain. Probably i did things in wrong ways. Maybe new Captain will do everything better than me."

"...? Bossu... You... Serious?"

"Yes. And... By the way. Send it to him quick. And keep update me the news. And... Since i've decided, there is no need to keep these." - You take the crystals out. And place it down. "You can have all of it."

"Bossu...."

"Don't reject it. It's your favorite. And i give all of them to you."

"But bossu... Is it..."

"Oh come on. This is not like the movies, where you can convince me to stay longer on this ship. Believe me, not everyone is like you, who will actually wanted to keep me on this ship."

"..."

"I know it's kinda sudden. This is new for me too. And i think about this, if they don't want me, i shouldn't stay any longer. I have made it up to my mind, i'm leaving. This is not movies, where you can convince me, i know i am repeating myself again, but believe me, nothing can make zipper sounds so manly."

(Author listening to [Nella Cerniera] : are you sure about that?)

"..."

"Anyways. Send that to Otto. I'm sorry. But i think it's time for me to go."

"Ay, man. Why do you want to leave so suddenly?" - Otto walks in from the door.

You and Ai-chan just menacingly looking at him.

"... When and how did you came here?" - You ask.

"... Teleportation."

"..."

"..."

"When did your technology became so advance?"

"Well..... First of all, it's OUR tech."

"Second, it's a brand new technology."

"..."

"... So yea."

"... Anyways.... Ai-chan." - You snap your fingers twice, and Ai-chan gives you the resignation paper, and you give it to Otto. "I quit."

"... Why?"

"... Some personal problems. The Valkyries doesn't want me. All the time, i just learn that yesterday." - You said, and leaning your back against the couch, and put a hand on your chin.

"... Imma talk to them..." - Otto about to leave.

"Just... Don't. If you do it, they'll just hate me more."

"... But you know, i can't just stand here and looking at a talented Captain like you leaving."

"Talented? What kind if talented Captain would give out a mistake, and got hated by his crew? I bet the other Captains can do better than me."

"..."

"... How long have i worked on Hyperion, Ai-chan?" - You asked.

"3 years, bossu."

"3 years. Less than 3 years, i worked hard, leading them in many rescue, ambush, attack missions. And they hated me all the way. Without letting me knowing. Sasuga Valkyries."

"Okay, why you don't try and ask them again? What if they doesn't hate you?"

"No, if things has come this far, i will say it straight to you." - Kiana appears at the door.

(Not gonna lie, almost every theme in Vento Aureo is good. Except Darkness, it's too dark, i can't hear anything.)

"Well well. Guess that's the cat outta the bag." - You stands up, and approaching her.

"Ho, you're approaching me?"

"I can't start an argument with you without getting closer."

"So, as you want, before you leave, i'll say this right now, you are a bastard." - She said.

"Okay, okay. Then you're just a helpless Tuna on the battlefield. I bet things can get better without you."

"Well well... Look what we have... A strong Captain, in this argument. But look... He cried last night... Right?" - She put a hand on your cheek.

You immediately grabs her hand, and take it off.

"You know what? Get your hand back and back off!" - Then you go around her slowly. "A Tuna in a human form... Take that off, what are you?"

"Well, one of the most famous waifu of this game, one of the best girls, have great character development."

"Wow." - Otto.

"Yeah... But i bet i have something you doesn't have." - You said.

"And that would be?"

"I still have my pride, and i am not the one who will always asking Mei-senpai to cook dinner, harassing her, asking supportive on battlefield, or using someone else powers to fight."

You put on a sunglasses, and then going out of the office after roasted the Tuna.

Director : Good! But cut this scene!

Y/n : for the love of God, WHY?

Director : IT'S NOT IN THE GOD DAMN SCRIPT!

Take 2

"Yeah. What to say now, Tuna? I am a human with my pride! Unlike you! What do you have now?"

"At least i am not the horrible Captain like you."

And Fu Hua appears, grabs her shoulder.

"You... What did you just said?" - She seems angry.

"What now? Want to join the same side with this worthless, shamefully Captain? Go on."

"... You... Have gone too far..." - Fu Hua said.

"Then, what are you gonna do? Fight me?"

"No, i will just break your neck."

"Ho? Then try it, and you shall die."

"Stop it, no one kills anyone in front of me." - Otto said. "And you. Kiana Kaslana, i can't believe Hyperion have a Valkyrie like you. I shall bring you some punish-"

"No, overseer Otto. Stop it. Do not punish anyone." - You said.

"What?"

"... Just.. Don't punish anyone, this is my fault from the beginning. I did a fatal mistake, take the role i shouldn't take." - You put your hat down. "As you guys wish, today, this Y/n L/n is no longer the Captain of this famous Hyperion. Peace."

You walks out the office.

And let some tears out.

You wished what happened last night was a dream, and things will get peaceful.

But as a wise Titan said :

Reality is often disappointing.

Nothing can't change it.

On the way, there are also some Valkyries, and some staffs who avoided your sight.

You head back to your room, and find something strange.

You pick the thing up, it's some sort of grail.

"This... This is... Don't tell me... This is!!!" - You shout.

Later.

You're drinking water with it.

"... Nothing happened after all, but this will go in my collection." - You said, and put it in a bag.

After putting stuffs inside, Y/n L/n is about to leave Hyperion.

Is there anyone who can stop him?

End of Chapter 2
