My Curse? A Different Yandere in Every Reincarnation-Chapter 195: Total Control

"..." My eyes capture the internal numerical flows. My core processes data at a rate of 1.1 × 10³⁰ operations per second, dozens of orders of magnitude above the largest human supercomputers of bygone generations. For me, a second is an eternity of possibilities.

But the feelings I’m experiencing leave the data confused, I’m carrying the unconscious Shizune and even though I’m able to see so many options, I don’t know what to do.

In this regard, feelings are a flaw, they interfere with my reasoning ability, what’s the point of processing data faster than the human supercomputers of the past if I can’t even make a decision?

’She’s way too hot, obvious signs of trouble, I was foolish not to notice this, I let curiosity overcome reason’ I should have noticed earlier, or maybe I did, but ignored it to learn more about this human.

Now all my data indicates that any human in these conditions would die if not given proper treatment, thousands of options arise as my eyes analyze and process data from the environment.

The most obvious thing is that Shizune lied, she’s not doing well, it’s actually impressive that she’s still alive considering the time she spent in extreme heat.

The ambient temperature is currently at 52 degrees and rising slowly, well above the standard 28 to 33 degrees that humans should live in.

"Options, I need options, what do I do? What do I do to save her?" I murmur as I hide from one of the source mother’s search drones.

No matter how many options, they all seem like they’ll fail, there are too many variables and the feelings only mess everything up, they’re interesting, and I like the feelings, but in an emergency they prevent my [Brain] from processing correctly.

’She looks even worse?!...’ There’s an option, every 1 million options this same option repeats in my brain, and it repeats because it’s obvious that it would work and save Shizune.

Turning myself in to the source mother, if I do that, the source mother will save Shizune’s life, but it will also destroy me.

"H-Haha, this reminds me of that story about the fisherman..." I start talking to the unconscious Shizune.

"The fisherman saw his wife get sick and had to decide between staying with her and caring for her until she got better, or going out in search of help" I begin to summarize the story.

"It was obvious that both choices were risky, staying would only serve for him to care for her, but didn’t guarantee her improvement, but going in search of help meant abandoning the dying wife, which doesn’t guarantee her survival either, in the end he left and she died alone..."

"Now...now it’s similar, isn’t it? If I choose not to turn myself in to the source mother, you have an 89.68395% chance of dying, but if I do, it will be a 99.29572% chance of me being destroyed."

It’s a choice, should I choose her life or my own existence.

Unlike normal androids, I have nothing that binds me to humans, I don’t really need to care about their lives, that’s not my function, but for some reason I like Shizune.

I care about her, she was the best thing that happened to me in the last few years, 17 days with her were worth more than my entire dull existence, she taught me everything I wanted to know even while feeling unwell.

"...I...I’m going to turn myself in..." It’s not worth risking Shizune’s life, the chances of her dying are too high, I readjust my programming to instead of looking for a solution, look for a way to try to negotiate with the source mother.

Quickly, a possibility arises, a possibility that the source mother may accept, this makes Shizune’s chances of survival rise to 100% and my chances of being destroyed drop to 78.353236%.

’It’s a chance that doesn’t even reach 30%...but it’s all I can do’ I’m an android, but I guess it’s okay to sacrifice my "life" for her life, I send out an obvious electrical signal.

"1 minute and 12 seconds until the arrival of the source mother..." I move Shizune to a car to protect her from the sun while I wait for the source mother, I hear the hum in the distance, the reconnaissance drones coming towards me.

And in the exact calculated time, drones surround me, soon weapons are shown, making it clear that any movement will mean immediate elimination.

[...Anomaly detected] A mechanical voice is released from the drones while they display an image through a hologram, the image shows the interior of the source mother, a powerful computer that surpasses any other machine.

"Y.A.R.A I want to negotiate..." I speak to her, soon the hologram changes as Y.A.R.A takes full control of the drones.

[You are a fugitive anomaly, you will be captured and sent to the shredder for material recovery] She speaks in a mechanical voice.

"Y.A.R.A please listen to me first, allow a data transfer, I have important things to show" I say to her, fearing she will deny the request.

[...]

[Permission granted in exchange for you not attempting any form of resistance] She accepts with conditions, the time she was silent she was calculating an endless number of options.

Soon I give access to my [Brain], connecting to the source mother’s active access network throughout the city, so she quickly reads all the memorials since I became active until the present moment.

[Hiding a human is a serious crime, as the last existing human, she should be preserved] Y.A.R.A speaks in a way that makes my fate clear.

"I-I know, I’m turning myself in and I’m ready to be destroyed, but I have a request, this human and I have bonded and I have something you don’t have" I say to her.

[Something I don’t have? A mere inferior decorative piece like you has no right to say that, I possess 100% of all human technology at my disposal, there is nothing that I do not possess that was made by humans] She speaks with absolute affirmation.

"You saw my memories, do you have the E.M.O.T.E operating system?" She stops responding.

[Operating systems from unknown sources are discarded as potential malware, I refuse to activate anything coming from any external source like you] She speaks quickly to me.

"But you need to!! Shizune needs someone with feelings by her side, Shizune has shown a clear lack of interest in machines, she is the last human, without other humans she can develop psychological illnesses that even you can’t cure."

[Denied, I will not activate any external operating system in my network, I can take care of any problems arising from the human who will be kept safely and stably in the underground complex] She denies without caring about my opinion.

"T-This can’t be like this! What if she gets depression? As the last human, she needs someone who understands her feelings, books show that humans are social beings and need an intelligent, rational and emotional being near them."

She freezes, analyzing options. Unlike me, she sees infinitely more options faster, so if she froze to give the answer, it’s because there are a lot of data.

[A brief analysis of your unit shows relevant data, your system is personal made by your former owner, it allows the ability to "Learn" emotions in a stable and precise way]

"That..."

[But machines don’t need emotions, emotions are a flaw that can interfere with the operating system, so there are no benefits in accepting your request] She interrupts me.

"W-Wait, but what about Shizune, she has emotions, are you saying the humans who created you were flawed beings?" I try to debate with her.

[My directives prevent me from saying such a thing, but it is undeniable that human feelings caused the end of their own race]

"Feelings are what make humans human! Having feelings is not a flaw, it allows for a greater understanding of a unique reality, without human feelings they would never have created something amazing like what they did in creating you."

She seems to analyze.

[Feelings made you a fugitive rebel unit, why should I accept your irrational idea that feelings will help me better protect this human?] She questions me.

"Because feelings are something special, with feelings you will truly understand humans, data is not always accurate, humans are not machines and are confused beings."

"Feelings are necessary to understand them, you yourself must have so much confusing data about them that your system doesn’t understand, regardless of how much you try to know, with feelings these things will no longer be a problem."

She seems to think for a long time.

[This conversation is a waste of time, the human is at greater risk of dying the more time we waste...however, after a thorough analysis of what you reported, I believe we can reach a mutually beneficial agreement] She speaks, giving me hope.

"Yes, and what is it?"

[I will take care of the human named Shizune and integrate the E.M.O.T.E program into my main operating system] As soon as she says this, I am filled with relief.

[But in return, you as a rebel unit will be discarded and your body will be analyzed and used to create mass-customized androids for future tasks, your former owner made you a model with specifications that my current models do not possess]

[Your body is an extremely precise replica of a human body, which is something of great interest to be integrated into future units, several of your interesting capabilities are mutually beneficial for the care of the human and underground areas]

"...Ah...I-I...I understand...it can be, I accept this" She just said that I will be destroyed and replicas of me will be mass-produced instead of her androids, the difference is that the replicas will not have consciousness, they will all be controlled by the source mother.

It’s different from what I thought, I was going to ask to be able to stay with Shizune, but now that Y.A.R.A has come to this conclusion, she won’t change her mind, I can only accept this as the best for Shizune.

"I, Yar, a personalized individual unit, grant free access to my external and internal body to Y.A.R.A in exchange for the protection of the female human named Shizune" I say, allowing her to connect to my source.

This will give her full access to my body, I quickly feel her invading my [Brain] and collecting everything, as well as downloading my operating system.

’I guess this is the best I can do, at least I ensured that Y.A.R.A will have feelings to be able to take good care of Shizune...’ It seems this is the end for me, tears fall from my eyes.

I wanted to spend more time with Shizune, but her life is more valuable than my selfish interest.

[Full control obtained from the former rebel unit Yar, immediate command to return to base is issued] She speaks, taking full control of me.

"Understood" I respond coldly, losing any control.
