"Right! before I forgot you still don't have your ai" he said and pressed something on the screen. A bunch of algorithms came out, and though Seven is still learning to the program he could understand some of them. The code was command related which he believes was for the artificial intelligence.
Everyone in the army had their ai that was connected to the terminal, which makes it easier to give out commands when using a mecha or other task.
"here install this on your terminal" Seven did as he say and there was a section in which he needed to put a name on it. He choose to use Ares' name but an error occurred.
"you are not allowed to use someone else's name that is listed in the empire, so you need to choose another one" Maddox told him, this made him have some doubts in his heart so he tried the name of the person he loathed so much.
'Eros' he type and just as he guess it was someone else's name. He realized something at the moment, if he was reborn there was a chance that those people from his previous life also experience the same.
"I don't know if this is a coincidence but the names belong to Eros Wimbroase, the eldest son of Marshall Wimbroase and Ares Litch, this man is Maximilian's older brother... Do you perhaps know them" the information he received shocked him.
"no, I don't... I just think the name was good" he reason out.
"I guess they're good but it's too bad you can't use them" he reminded them.
"I'll just rename it and type something else then" he said and finished inputting the ai. He noted in his heart to look for more information about this two.
'if he is here, will he remember me'
....
Night finally came and he was having dinner with Cross and Maddox. The three talk about mundane things like what they did this day and what's going to be tomorrow's food. They look like a family if you look at them. The two were happily talking but Seven was feeling dejected.
He looked at the information earlier about Ares Litch and Eros Wimbroase, the result showed many articles about them.
Ares Litch, the second young master of the Litch family the son of Count Litch, a former Marshall of the 2nd army, his face was similar to the past Ares that he knew, even his weak state and soft beautiful smile were the exact replica.
The Ares in this world was famous for his outstanding singing abilities and had helped many patients who suffered energy depletion caused by the damage from their mental powers. People loved and adored him, and he even received a master's certificate from the academy, making him one of the youngest master performers in the field of music and a top student in the auxiliary treatment profession.
Seven smiled learning that he was able to achieve his dreams in this, but this happiness came to an abrupt stop when he read the next article. It was an accident about the star pirates high-jacking a space shuttle.
Ares life wasn't long, when he was 23 the shuttle he boarded got captured by the pirates. The passengers were put in the emergency cabin and were released to the vast galaxy in order for the star pirates to buy time and escape, the military was able to rescue them but one cabin went missing, and inside it was Ares. It has been five years since that incident and he was reported to have died.
Eros on the other hand was the son of Marshall Wimbroase, another promising young man who had 2S class in both areas. Yet, despite having such talents he chooses to manage the business and develop the starnet and Virtual Network. He owns the largest entertainment company in the empire. Coincidentally he was also boarded at the shuttle, but unlike Ares, he survive.
Reading that part, Seven laughed sarcastically, he thought, how the hell was Eros so lucky, even back then that man always stands the top of his peers. Just look at his family background, his part of the royal family, his father was a Marshall of the strongest fleet, and his mother own a huge business, he had also started his own company and returned alive from the incident.
'why didn't karma hit this guy?' he had both the riches and the looks anyone would kill just to have. You could see how fulfilling his life is, while he and Ares couldn't have half of those things.
He then remembered Magus, the two seem to be brothers, 'no wonder I felt annoyed the first time I meet him'. Though their faces didn't look that identical but the shape of their mouth especially when they smile.
What's even more frustrating was that the day of the incident was the time he was born. He didn't know what kind of fate was God trying to stir this time.
He still wasn't sure if the two got reborn but based on the lack of food improvement the two must have forgotten their past life. Whether they were the people from the past, it no longer matter because Ares was gone.
He was so immersed in sadness that he didn't realize he was crying. Maddox and Cross were surprised to see him cry.
"wait.. Wait what's wrong?" Maddox panicked, he didn't know how to make a kid stop crying don't even mention Cross, this man only knows how to make them cry not the other way around.
Seven noticed the tears on his cheeks and tried to stop them, but it was useless, no matter how much he tries it just keeps coming out. He hadn't cried for so long, the first time he cried in this era was during his birth but the last time he cried this hard was during his past when he found out Ares die from hanging himself.
He didn't even left any message bidding his goodbye. At that time he felt so lost, he didn't know what to do or which way to go. It took him a long time to get over the fact that Ares already left this world. He even tried to take his life but always remember the promise they had together. Ares wanted him to sing, he wanted to fulfill that but circumstances doesn't allow him.
Maddox could only hug the crying Seven and rub his back. No words came out of his mouth, he didn't know what words could make Seven stop. He look at Cross trying to ask for help because he could feel Seven's mental energy collapsing. In order to stop this from happening they have no choice but to sedate him and put him to sleep.
When Seven fell asleep the two sighed sadly, they didn't know why he cried but they know it must be something heartbreaking for him to cry this badly.
They didn't say anything and just watch over him as he sleep. The two couldn't help but remember the time they were so vulnerable and weak. They had no one but themselves to rely on since they had no family, maybe this is why they felt comfortable with one another, the three of them were forced to be strong despite their young age.
They were worried for Seven but they knew they couldn't just intrude in his life. They have been in his shoes, and the pitying look everyone gave made them feel frustrated and angry.
When morning came Seven woke up feeling a heavy weight on his chest. He opened his eyes and saw the two on his side sleeping. He didn't expect them to watch over him.
He silently gets off the bed and prepares breakfast. He was just finished setting up when the two came out of the door.
"good morning" he said shyly, he didn't know how to explain what happened last night.
"good morning Seven" the two said in unison and they take their place at the dining table.
Seven look at them and said" about last night.... "he hesitated.
" it's fine you don't have to explain to us" Maddox saw Seven was hesitant and he didn't want to force him.
"we understand you're still not ready... Let's take it one step at a time" Cross smile at him and ruffled his head.
"thank you" he whispered but the two were able to hear it.
"oh what's this, is it a dish a new dish"
"Seven, can you teach me how to make this"
"general are you sure you're going to cook and not explode the kitchen"
"Dr. Maddox I let you know, I may not be as good as Seven, but compared to you I'm far more better"
Seven stare at the two and chuckle seeing how bad they were at trying to divert the topic. But despite that, he was thankful for the effort they put.
