Love Far Beyond the Ashes

Ready To Go

Roboco pov: "Do we have everything?" A-chan asked

"Yeah, other than Anemachi," Sui-chan yawned

"Let's just leave her," Mikochi suggested.

"Good idea!" Suisei laughed

"I heard that!" Anemachi boomed. She walked over to the two of them and slammed their heads against each other.

I laughed and turned to Azkichi, Sora-chan, and Aki, who were busy gathering some stuff. Two of them seemed tired.

"You two need rest!" I suggested

Sora-chan and Azkichi shook their heads, and I frowned.

"We are idols; we don't need much sleep," they said in unison.

Nodoka approached me with a clipboard and pen. "I just need to do a check-up," she said.

It has only been about an hour since my rampage, and although I don't blame them for constantly checking me, now I'd be worried too.

"You seem more expressive." Nodoka commented

"That's true; even though I'm a robot, I can feel emotions," I told her.

Nodoka tilted her head to the side and gave me a puzzled glance. "Who is that?" She asked as she pointed to San, who was floating behind me.

"You can see me, I mean her." I questioned

"Yeah," Nodoka replied.

I looked around, and everyone was staring at San as if they had seen a ghost, besides Aki, who can always see her.

"Why are you only able to see me now?" San asked

"Maybe because you are a projection made by Roboco, in a sense, we can only see you if we are really close to you," Aki said.

"I have no idea," San and I said together.

We clearly are linked in some way; we have to be the same person, but for some reason we both exist. I don't get it.

"Sui-chan, I hurt my hand!" Mikochi cried

"Let me see..." Suisei sighed in response.

Her hand was dripping blood. Sui-chan smiled at the sight, but I could tell this was just her not knowing how to react when seeing blood.

"I'll wrap you up," Sui-chan said.

Mikochi began to blush a little bit. I looked at her.

"I don't love her." She growled as she realized what my glance was for.

"If Mikochi loved me, I would puke." Suisei said as she got the bandages.

"Need anything, Sui-chan?" Toko asked

"Yeah, get me water and disinfectant for Miko," she said.

"Got it!" Toko-chan happily stated as she ran into the other room.

"You two really have developed," Nodoka said.

"Yeah, we are good friends, and we are pretty much like sisters." Miko stated

"No, although you are more tolerable than my other sister," Suisei sighed.

"Sui-chan, don't talk about Comet," Azki said.

"Don't say her name." Suisei said her eyes looked lifeless.

Azki laughed and punched the table, smashing it in two, shocking everyone but Sora, Suisei, and Anemachi.

"Remember when you had to explain to Comet-chan what happened to your father?" Azki asked

"I do, although I don't remember having a father." Sui-chan lied

"Shut up, you remember a lot about the past now you just don't want to say it!" Azki told her.

Sui-chan looked to the side. She didn't want to admit she was right, but luckily for her, Toko came back to break the conversation. She immediately snatched the water and began to chug it.

As soon as she was done, she began to wrap up Mikochi's hand, and when she finished, Mikochi asked her a question.

"Can we go to see Comet-chan?" Mikochi asked

"No...." Sui-chan growled

"Can we go see Comet-chan?" Toko-chan asked

"Yes, we can go very soon!" Sui-chan happily said

Mikochi looked at Sui-chan and Toko-chan and began to pout, but I didn't want to keep this weird tension going.

"So where is Furen?" I asked Toko-chan

"She's asleep on the bed," Toko-chan said.

She didn't seem tired; she was very excitable and energetic, so I don't understand why she's asleep, but maybe she is tired. Toko-chan seemed to have read my mind, though.

"I knocked her out," Toko-chan said.

"Wait why!?" I asked

"She asked for it," Toko-chan said.

I didn't know what to say to that, but I needed to ignore that. I just heard that two minutes later, Anemachi came over.

"I told our mother that we would be visiting soon. She seemed really happy. She also wanted to know how Azki was doing. I told her she was doing well and was getting married soon. She was happy about that." Anemachi said

"Azkichi is amazing!" Sui-chan said as she petted Toko-chan.

"She really is!" Sora-chan said loudly:

"You two are biased... A-chan sighed

"She is the greatest!" Nodoka said

"Not you too..." A-chan sighed

"Without Azki-chan, I wouldn't have wanted to become a manager!" Nodoka said

The other three woman were cheerful to be fair I like Azki too

"Azaz, you may as well have a harem." Mikochi sighed

"Would you be part of the harem?" Azki asked

Mikochi's face grew red. "No... I mean yes..." She said

"Wait really!?" Azki said in shock

Mikochi didn't answer at all. She wanted to ignore it so she wouldn't have to acknowledge that she was saying that she would be part of her harem. She didn't want to say that again.

Azki seemed to be grilling Mikochi now to get her to see that again.

"Can we go?" Aki asked me

I looked at her in shock; she was excited to leave the forest all of a sudden.

"Let's go!" I said, not getting anyone's attention, "Let's go!" San screamed, getting everyone's attention.

"Okay, Roboco," they said.

"Wait! I didn't say that San did!" I said

"Are you not the same?" A-chan asked

I need to figure that out: am I San? I need to find out who Roboco is.

The others got ready to leave, and I looked at Azkichi. First, I'll save you from your fate, and then we can move forward.

I will become the best high-spec robot I can
