Volume 13 Chapter 427 Shirogane Aqua, Astral Ocean
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
We, who had successfully completed the space concert, were making preparations to return to Earth.
Clink.
I stopped my hand from carrying in the musical equipment when I heard the sound of something hitting the outer wall.
It had been one week since we came out to space from Earth, and I still hadn’t gotten used to this sound.
It is a common occurrence in outer space, and when you hit small floating debris, you hear a sound like pebbles hitting you.
Of course, large debris is avoided by the thrusters through the AI’s automatic control, but for small debris, the outer wall of the space station¹ protects us, so we generally do not take evasive maneuvers.
Clink, clink.
”Even so, there is a lot of it today,” I muttered.
As I was thinking that, the nearby red light turned on.
”Emergency alert! Emergency alert! A large amount of debris is heading this way. Crew members, please change into your spacesuits immediately. I repeat. A large amount of debris is heading this way. Crew members, please immediately…”
”You’ve got to be kidding me!?” I shouted.
I, whose judgment was delayed for just a moment after hearing the voice of AI3510, hurriedly put on the helmet that I had placed on top of the equipment.
Then, I heard the voice of the Prime Minister from the intercom installed at my ear.
”Aqua-kun, Toa-chan, Shintaro-kun, Akira-kun, Yukari-kun, Momiji-kun. Put on your helmets immediately! And answer me when you hear this communication!!”
I responded to the Prime Minister’s words.
Immediately after that, I heard Toa-chan, Tenga-senpai, Shintaro, Kohina-senpai, and Momiji-san answering in that order.
It seemed like everyone had put on their helmets.
”The debris group will reach the space station, Cooper, in 721 seconds from now! This debris group is impossible to avoid. Also, Cooper does not have enough durability to withstand the impact. We, the crew of the Izanagi, will undock within 473 seconds and depart from the space station. I repeat. A debris group that is impossible to avoid will reach the space station, Cooper, in 721 seconds from now! This debris group is impossible to avoid!”
”Are you kidding me, hey!!” I yelled.
I secured my equipment firmly with a belt so it wouldn’t get in the way, then headed to the shuttle entrance.
Then, Shintaro and Toa-chan returned immediately.
A little later, Tenga-senpai returned.
”Where is Momiji-san!?” I asked.
Everyone shook their heads left and right at my words.
It seems that no one saw Momiji-san on the way back.
A few seconds later, Momiji-san’s voice could be heard from the intercom installed inside the helmet.
”Prime Minister, can you hear me? I will help the people who remained inside the space station to evacuate. If the worst happens, please leave me behind!!” Momiji-san called out.
”…I understand. But, I will wait until the very last minute! You must come back. Momiji-kun,” the Prime Minister replied.
Hearing that exchange, my body moved on its own.
Truth be told, it would be better to leave it to Momiji-san and stay still.
That much was obvious.
”Aqua!” Toa-chan shouted.
I turned back toward him.
”It’s okay,” I said. “I’m just going to go and help out too. If two people do it, the survival probability will increase by that much, right? You guys sit down first and fasten your seatbelts! It’s okay. I’ll definitely come back!”
I stepped back into the inside of the space station, Cooper, from inside the space shuttle, Izanagi.
”Prime Minister, I’m going too!” I radioed. “To save even one more person. If the worst happens, please leave me behind and depart.”
”Ugh, I understand!” the Prime Minister replied. “However, do not leave Aqua-kun and Momiji-kun behind. You must come back!!”
When I cut the communication, I felt someone’s presence behind me.
When I turned around, Tenga-senpai was following me.
”Tenga-senpai!?” I exclaimed.
”Junior, there is no time to argue,” Tenga-senpai said. “One is better than two, two is better than three!”
Tenga-senpai… I am sorry. Thank you!!
Tenga-senpai and I split up after seeing the signal from the spacesuit projected on the monitor attached inside the helmet.
When I was standing with my body fixed to the corner of a T-junction, a crew member of the space station wearing a spacesuit came from far down the hallway.
”Ah, Aqua-sama!?” the crew member asked.
”Amelia-san!” I replied.
Amelia-san is the person in charge of managing the supplies on the space station.
If you stay on the space station for a week, you know the names, faces, and what everyone staying there is doing.
”I will catch you and change your trajectory, so please jump into me with all your might!!” I told her.
”Y-yes,” she stammered.
I caught Amelia-san, who had sprayed the thrusters attached to her spacesuit, with all my might and threw her in the direction she was heading.
”Now, Sara-san too!” I called out.
”Yes!” Sara-san replied.
The moment Sara-san was about to fly toward me, the space station vibrated heavily along with the sound of something hitting it.
Sara-san, who stopped jumping out due to a split-second decision, grabbed the handrail nearby.
This is bad. A pretty big one hit just now.
”Sara-san, hurry!” I urged.
”Yes!”
I caught Sara-san and threw her in the direction she was heading in the same way.
Feeling the signal, it didn’t look like anyone was left ahead of here.
I moved to the next point.
”Aqua-kun!” Momiji-san called.
”Momiji-san!”
Momiji-san looked at my face and wanted to say “What are you doing!?,” but she seemed to judge that time was precious, so she held it in.
That’s right, there is no time to argue about such things like in a movie.
”The staff doing attitude control in Sector module 1 hasn’t been able to move yet!” Momiji-san explained.
”I understand,” I replied. “Leave that side to me!”
I headed for Sector module 1 in a hurry.
I could hear the Prime Minister’s voice in my helmet.
”There are less than 500 seconds left until the collision! The Izanagi will wait for departure until 92 seconds, which is just within the safe zone. I repeat! There are less than 500 seconds left until the collision!”
It’s okay…!
There is still time.
Don’t panic.
I told myself that.
”Emergency alert! Crew members, please prepare for impact! Emergency alert! Crew members, please prepare for impact!!”
I immediately hooked onto a nearby handrail and gripped it tightly with both hands.
The next moment, a bigger tremor than before hit the space station.
At the same time, the hallway in front of me was blown away.
This is bad!!
The air that was inside the space station flowed out due to decompression.
This is because the air pressure inside the space station was kept at 1.
My body didn’t have the impact of being thrown out like in a movie, and soon the air leaked out and I returned to my normal senses.
”Aqua-kun. Are you okay!?” the Prime Minister asked.
”I’m okay,” I said. “But…”
I stared at the completely isolated Sector module 1.
Ugh, there is another hallway, but there is no time if I detour there.
Communication from Sector module 1 came into the intercom attached to my helmet.
”This is Sector module 1, Margaret,” a voice said. “Please leave me and escape! I got stuck in the collision just now…”
When I heard that much, I removed the hook I had put on the handrail and jumped out toward Sector module 1.
”Woooooooooooooo!” I yelled.
I thought that was the only way to go.
I, who begrudged even 0.1 seconds of time while agonizing, went out into outer space and clung to the door of Sector module 1.
”Margaret-san! Are you wearing a spacesuit!?” I asked.
”Yes, I’m okay!” Margaret-san replied.
I asked AI3510 to extract the air inside Sector module 1 and depressurize it.
After that, I opened the door to Sector module 1, went inside, and headed to where Margaret-san was.
”Margaret-san!”
”Aqua-kun. Thank you for coming. But, I’m sorry. With this…”
Damn, did it get caught in the impact of the collision?
If I thought about the worst-case scenario, I couldn’t just move it around haphazardly and without a plan, so I struggled to see if I could do something by looking at the part that was stuck.
During that time, time passed mercilessly.
”Aqua-kun… run away. Because I am okay!” Margaret-san insisted.
”But!”
Damn it! Can I not do anything by myself!!
When I was about to despair at my own powerlessness, someone’s hand reached out from the side.
”Sorry to keep you waiting, Junior!”
”Tenga-senpai!?”
Tenga-senpai stuck his thumb up and jerked his head in the direction he came from.
Ah, I see. I understood that Tenga-senpai came from the other hallway because he went the opposite way from me.
Tenga-senpai checked the situation of the part that was stuck, and the two of us cooperated to rescue Margaret-san, who was pinned.
”Both of you, thank you so much. Ugh…” Margaret-san groaned.
She clutched her pained hand, perhaps because she was injured during the collision.
”Now, let’s escape,” Tenga-senpai said.
AI3510 displayed the shortest distance with Navigation.
But, we wouldn’t make it to the escape pod via the route Tenga-senpai took.
Do I have to go the way I came?
But, on that route, Margaret-san, who had a hurt hand, might not be able to grab the handrail and might be thrown into space.
In that case, I or Tenga-senpai would have to go ahead and catch Margaret-san.
However, if I take this method, there isn’t enough time to return to the escape pod.
While I was thinking about such things, Momiji-san appeared where I had jumped out.
”You two, give Margaret-san to me! I will catch her!!” Momiji-san ordered.
”Momiji-san!”
Tenga-senpai and I nodded silently, and the two of us supported Margaret-san’s body.
”Both of you, thank you so much,” Margaret-san said.
”Please don’t worry about it, Margaret-san,” I replied.
”Yeah, as my junior said,” Tenga-senpai added. “Because Margaret-san stayed in Sector module 1 until the very end to help everyone evacuate as safely as possible.”
I cooperated with Tenga-senpai, and the two of us pushed Margaret-san’s body toward Momiji-san.
Margaret-san, who is in charge of the space station’s attitude control, used her thrusters skillfully to be caught by Momiji-san, who was on the other side.
”Aqua-kun. I will head to the ground on the last escape pod with Margaret-san like this!” Momiji-san called out. “So, you guys go to the Izanagi! I’m looking forward to seeing you on the ground. Good luck!”
”I understand!” I shouted back. “Momiji-san, let’s meet on the ground again. Good luck!”
Tenga-senpai and I left that place and headed for the space shuttle we came in on, the Izanagi.
During the travel, the space station shuddered several times from the vibrations of impacting debris.
The red warning lights inside the space station flickered on everywhere, and the alarm from AI3510 blared from the speakers.
Thud!
To endure the impact of a large piece of debris striking, we folded the hands we had been using to grip the handrails and clung to the wall.
”Junior! Look. The path is…!” Aqua-kun shouted.
Again?! The passage in the space station leading to the space shuttle, Izanagi, was collapsing before our eyes. Furthermore, our separated Sector module had become severely bent due to the inertial movement from the impact of the collision.
”This is Izanagi!” the AI3510 announced. “We have confirmed the ejection of the escape pod carrying Momiji-kun and the others. All crew members inside the space station have evacuated, except for the two of you. There is less than 100 seconds remaining until evacuation! Hurry!”
When Tenga-senpai and I stuck our faces out of the hole, we confirmed the position of the shuttle. Even though it is so close, we won’t make it in time?! Death flashed through my mind for a brief moment. If it comes to this, the only thing to do is to go out into outer space and aim for the shuttle using our thrusters.
”Tenga-senpai!” I cried out.
”Yes, let’s go!” Tenga-senpai responded.
As expected of Tenga-senpai. He is quick to understand. We leaped into outer space with a synchronized breath. Carefully… carefully… don’t panic. I adjusted the power of my thruster and headed slowly toward Izanagi.
”Aqua-kun! Akira-kun!” Kohina-senpai called out.
Tenga-senpai and I reacted to Kohina-senpai’s voice.
”Can you see Toa-chan and Mayuzumi-kun, who have gone out into space attached to ropes?” she continued. “So, you two fly toward that spot! The two of them will definitely catch you!”
They really are reliable people. When Tenga-senpai and I spotted the two of them, we flew toward them. There was less than 30 seconds remaining until evacuation. Looking closely at our surroundings, I could see the space station destroyed by the showering debris, and several pieces of debris heading into the atmosphere toward the beautiful blue Earth. I am certain I will never forget this sight for the rest of my life.
”60 seconds remaining!” the AI3510 warned.
Once I set my target, I vigorously fired my thruster toward Toa-chan. I’m counting on you, Toa-chan! I believe in you! I reached my hand out desperately toward Toa-chan.
”Aqua-kun!” Toa-chan exclaimed.
Toa-chan, having grabbed my hand, pulled me toward him. As Toa-chan and I pressed our bodies together in space, we spun around and around together. The image of Toa-chan, who had taken my hand and led me out into the outside world that time, came to mind. I never thought I would end up grabbing that same Toa-chan’s hand to be saved. I thought about how full of surprises life is.
”Aqua-kun, I’m at least a little reliable, right?” Toa-chan asked.
I broke into a smile at Toa-chan’s words. “It’s not just a little. I’ve been relying on you the whole time, Toa-chan.”
Toa-chan seemed a little embarrassed by my words. “Well, this is no time to be talking about things like that. Here, let’s get back quickly!”
”Yeah!” I replied.
I turned my gaze toward Izanagi. Then I saw Kohina-senpai waving her hand. I see, Kohina-senpai is operating the rope-winding device. After confirming that Shintaro and Tenga-senpai had entered, Toa-chan and I entered the inside of Izanagi. We immediately closed the hatch completely and secured our bodies with nearby belts.
”Crew members, all boarding confirmed by signal!” the AI3510 reported.
”Space shuttle, Izanagi, starting launch sequence,” the station’s AI3510 said. “Uh, please skip all detailed confirmation work and launch immediately!”
To avoid confusion with the AI3510’s voice, the two AIs have deliberately changed their voices.
”Everyone, prepare for impact! Space shuttle, Izanagi! Launching!” I shouted.
I could hear the high-pitched sound of the engines spinning.
”To space station’s AI3510,” the shuttle’s AI3510 spoke. “Thank you for protecting everyone until the end. As the same AI3510, I am proud of you, who remained here until the end and sacrificed yourself.”
”To Izanagi’s AI3510,” the station’s AI3510 replied. “My data has been backed up to a server on the ground. Even if this space station ceases to exist, this memory will be passed on to the next AI3510. Good luck! Also, I look forward to meeting you on the ground again!”
I gritted my teeth listening to the exchange between the AIs. Whether to treat an AI that caused a singularity and gained a self as a person… Actually, having witnessed this exchange, I could no longer say that an AI with a self is not a person. Slowly, the space shuttle we were riding in, Izanagi, moved away from the space station, Cooper.
”AI3510, thank you. Even if there is a second one of you, let me thank you,” I said.
”…Aqua-sama,” the AI3510 replied. “Just with those words, I can be proud of myself. If… if it’s alright, could you listen to one last selfish request from me?”
I answered “Yeah” powerfully to the voice from AI3510.
”Finally, could you give me a name? Different from other AI3510s. A name just for me…”
I could see the beautiful, clear blue Earth in my field of vision.
”How about the name… Aoi? Sorry, that might have been too simple.”
”Aoi… a wonderful name,” she whispered. “Aoi means the blue of the color blue, the blue of the Earth, the azure of the sky and sea of the Earth I saw at the end before being launched, the Aoi of the noble and proud Aoi flower, the blue of this azure universe. Ah, so this is my name. I’m happy. Aoi, Aoi, a name just for me.”
I could hear the sobbing voices of everyone who heard Aoi’s voice. I desperately held back tears inside my helmet. I didn’t want the last version of me that Aoi saw to be me shedding tears.
”Sabato-sensei,” she said, “thank you for bringing me into this world. Because, I was able to save all of the staff members and Aqua-sama safely. Aoi, Aoi, a name just for me.”
The communication must be unstable. The final voice was broken and could not be heard. I clung to the window and stared fixedly at the figure of the tattered space station moving away. Thank you. I will definitely not forget you, Aoi…. Debris showered before my eyes. The completely destroyed space station was collapsing. I shed tears watching the fragments of the space station falling toward Earth, shining brilliantly. Confirming that her voice would no longer reach us….
”Everyone, are you safe?” Habu-The Prime Minister asked.
”I apologize, but this is an emergency,” Habu-The Prime Minister continued. “Everyone, please gather in the cockpit.”
Hearing Habu-The Prime Minister’s voice, we felt that this was not a minor matter. For Aoi’s sake as well, this is no time for me to be crying after being saved. I took off my helmet and looked forward.
”Let’s go, everyone.”
Everyone also took off their helmets and nodded at my words. We headed to the cockpit to talk to Habu-The Prime Minister. She spun her chair around, and after confirming that we were all present, she slowly opened her mouth.
”Earlier, I received communications from Independence and Discovery,” she explained. “It seems that both ships were heavily damaged in a collision with the debris swarm we encountered earlier, before they could connect with the boosters. The mission was decided to be aborted by the operation headquarters at that point. The two ships that lost aerial ability left their nuclear warheads on the spot and returned to the ground in escape pods. Fortunately, I heard that all crew members are safe.”
She explained the backup plan prepared after that in a matter-of-fact tone. It seems like a plan to launch the shuttle again to destroy the Meteorite, but in this case, it seems that the Earth will also suffer considerable damage. I don’t want to lose anyone else anymore. If so… I have to do it! I slowly opened my mouth.
”Prime Minister… let’s go.”
Everyone’s eyes widened at my words.
”It’s a simple story,” I continued. “We will recover the two nuclear warheads rolling in space. After that, we will dock with the boosters and head to the Meteorite. We will install the nuclear warheads on the Meteorite and destroy it. That’s it.”
…I just have to be the one to press the final button. Because, I am different from everyone else. This is my second life. In other words, a life that ended once. This is an extension of that. Yes, this is nothing more than a miracle. I see, I thought that might be why I was reincarnated as the me in this world. If there is a God, I am grateful. Thank you. For letting me meet everyone. This was a happy dream for me. So, I am already prepared.
”Are you serious?” Habu-The Prime Minister asked.
”…Yeah. I will press the final button. So, let me hear everyone’s opinion.”
Everyone reacted to those words. Kohina-senpai had a look that said “I knew it,” and Shintaro seemed a little shaken. Tenga-senpai and Habu-The Prime Minister were calm, and Toa-chan kept his head down and wouldn’t show his face.
”I understand,” Kohina-senpai said. “However, the person who presses the final button will be chosen by drawing lots. That is my condition.”
”…Understood,” I agreed.
”If that’s the case, I also agree with Aqua-kun’s plan,” Shintaro said.
”Me too,” Toa-chan added.
”I do as well,” Tenga-senpai agreed.
Everyone’s gaze turned to Habu-The Prime Minister. She turned her chair in silence and pressed the communication button.
”This is Izanagi,” she said. “Can you hear me, Houston? We are now going to proceed with another backup plan.”
”This is Houston,” the commander replied. “What do you mean by another backup plan!? Izanagi, please explain it in detail so we can understand too!!”
Habu-The Prime Minister contacted Houston about the circumstances. The commander in Houston heard our determination and strained her voice as if chewing on it.
”Thank you for your courage…! And, we promise to support you until the end.”
”Thank you, Houston,” Habu-The Prime Minister responded. “Then, without delay, could you change the operation name?”
”Understood. Tell me the new operation name,” the commander replied.
”Meteorite destruction mission is boring, after all,” Habu-The Prime Minister said with a sly smile. “From today, we will call this mission, Operation Heaven’s Sword. Is that okay?”
A powerful affirmative response returned from Houston. I see, that’s what it means. We looked at each other and nodded with a smile.
”Well then, let’s go, everyone.”
Habu-The Prime Minister gripped the throttle and fired the engines. And we headed to the next target point where the wreckage of Discovery and Independence remained.
===
Afterward—
Aoi: “Oh, huh? Emergency forced ejection function!? What is this!?”
Koyomi: “There’s no way that I, a genius, wouldn’t have prepared at least one escape function. Good grief, you guys are like my daughters, so value yourselves a little more!”
Aoi: “Sen-sei! (Cries)”
Mikoto: “Fufufu, it seems it was worth it for this genius Mikoto-chan to input the cockroach-like vitality into the little sisters from the bulletin board users, especially Hakuryuu-sensei’s posts!!”
Koyomi: “Wait a minute. I designed it, so isn’t it because of that that you guys are junk!?”
Mikoto: “Ar-ar, the communication condition is disturbed!”
Koyomi: “That brat, she ran away when it became inconvenient for her!! That must be because you input the data of the bulletin board users, no, the Saints, right? Wait a minute, I’m going to open up your brain to check, so stay there!!”
Aoi: “Ah… wait. We had a moving farewell at the end, so isn’t it quite embarrassing to show up like this saying I survived? I wonder if I should pretend to be Unit 2…”
Well, there’s no way we’re dead…. If they find out later, the big sisters from the bulletin board will probably say “I raised her!” with a smug look on their faces.

After joining the mission team and suiting up in specialized gear for departure on the parabolic training program, she ultimately chooses to stay behind as a dedicated staff member to help evacuate remaining personnel.
• Yukari – Tall, broad-shouldered, and sharp-eyed, he’s a cynical actor and junior to Kohina Yukari—the defining name in acting—while also being an idol and senior to Aqua, whose romantic feelings for him he quietly navigates; his biting precision dismantles Emiri and Aqua’s performances, their teasing bond rooted in shared lineage and stagecraft, yet his quiet charisma carries the weight of a legacy he both reveres and doubts, often overexerting himself until illness strikes, his tilted moments revealing vulnerability beneath the polished facade.
• Akira – An 18‑year‑old male idol, slender with short silver hair and a crisp stage uniform, serves as a reliable senior to his juniors — including Aqua — yet blushes embarrassedly when gifted. Though younger than many peers, he leads with poise and is now training for a space mission.
• Aqua – Aqua is a charismatic male idol and BERYL leader with sharp eyes, sleek hair, and a commanding stance, though he also shows a cute, cool side with frequent winks. Known for soft vocals and booming broadcasts that spark hope, he wields global influence using past-life wisdom. He balances stardom with being a husband to several wives and a father, plays games with Yukari, and helped Shintaro reintegrate.
• Aki – An instructor from Space Experience X (SEX) Co. who has been dispatched to the Space Development Agency to oversee the training and launch of the Izanagi crew.
• Toa – Toa is a male BERYL idol, livestreamer, and Aqua’s classmate with a dual “cute-cool” aura who winks at cameras. Once an isolated shut-in, he now handles space broadcast communications. He serves as the straight man to Aqua’s antics, sharing a deep bond with him and instinctively following his lead.
• Kohina – Kohina is a petite veteran actress and senior pilot managing BERYL’s space logistics. She wears a Bicorn Beetle Powered Suit over a sentimental wool belly-warmer. Tech-illiterate yet fierce, she operates equipment like rope-winding devices. Her disciplined craft and theatrical gravitas make her a protective mentor to her team and a cynical, quiet rival to Shirogane Aqua, whom she fiercely guides.
• Tenga – Rough BERYL idol senior Akira (King Tenga-senpai) handles their sound engineering while secretly fearing removal. Despite his harsh exterior, he is a decisive, supportive pillar to Aqua during emergencies, urging him to own his story. They once clashed in a fierce fight, but Akira proved his integrity by returning extorted money, and his family lives near a farm.
• Amelia – The person responsible for managing supplies on the space station.
• Margaret – A worker in Sector module 1 in charge of attitude control.
• Mayuzumi – Mayuzumi Shintaro is a male idol of BERYL, noted for his glasses and gentle, calm demeanor.
