Chapter 5 start: I am your mother
Being done depressed, Ben stood up tall and straight, ” Gotta be my own man, so that she won’t have to be worry about me anymore. ” Ben said, wiping his tears with his sleeve. The cloth he got when he passed a certain closet. Yes, he stole Godolf shirt, but surprisingly it fits him perfectly.
The redshirt, with an unknown bland on the right side. A brand in this day and age. ’ I am surprised, but when I think about it. Wasn’t I being able to talk with Godolf at all weird? It also seems like Godolf can speak English to a good degree. ’ thought Ben, a confused expression on his face.
’Well, it seems like there are still many experiments I have to try in the future.’ Ben contemplate. But before he could return to the house to take a quick nap, a ringing noise sounded. Ben hearing this had to clutch his ear in pain and couldn’t help but politely curse at the only possible person, who could rape his ear whenever he wanted to.
The prime.
’ I see you have woken. You couldn’t believe how many time I try to contact you, but got denied. ’ Complain prime with a feminist voice. ” What do you mean I denied your call? All I did yesterday is.. Sleep. ” Ben said, coming to a realization that he been sleeping most of the time. This immediate put Ben plan to take a quick nap, to rest.
’ Sigh.. My host, even my power is powerless to make you smarter since you have an unequal intelligence that is higher than a normal human but is an idiot at properly using it. Which by term means that you’re a hopeless case. ’ Prime said, shaking its invisible head.
Hearing this, Ben immediately deflate. Bro, even if you say that I am an idiot, I wouldn’t mind since everyone is born different but the fact that I do have higher intelligence than other but is actually so bad at using it, struck me hard. Talk about a person who completely wastes his talent, I blamed it all on the school.
Talking back and forth, Ben finally remember what he wanted to ask Prime, but first he got to get something he was bothered with out of the way. ’ Hey prime, mind telling me why your sound is no longer metallic? ’ Ask Ben, curious and confused.

Contemplated, Prime respond, ’you’re really an Idiot, you know that? ’ ’I know so get on with it.’ ’ Fine. Since you are that dense… I just wanted to help you host. ’ ’ Help me?’ ’ Yes, since you are my host now, I could feel your emotion and turmoil. Feeling that, I decided to act as a motherly figure that would guide you down the right path and to protect you from any harm that might come your way. ’
Hearing that, Ben immediately was silence. Seriously bro?!? You ain’t joking, right? You? My mother? Then what does make me? Son of data? Android?. After a million of question appearing in Ben head, he finally comes to the conclusion. ’ All else said, I guess he does actually care about me. That gives me a good tingling sensation in my heart that I couldn’t explain. This makes me feel a lot better. ’ Thought Ben, feeling deep warmth in his heart.
’Idiot. I could hear you as clear as a firework. ’ Whisper prime. If prime has a face, he would be smiling right about now. Unknown to prime though is that Ben could hear it, but ignored it entirely so that he won’t be thinking anything weirder and embarrassing.
Once silence reign supreme enough, Prime devilishly continues, ’ By the way, don’t be mad but I give you luck control and immortality. ’
” What? Why don’t you say that earlier?! Now I am truly an idiot for thinking of chasing immortality when I have it with me all along! ”, shouted Ben disbelievingly. The shout being loud enough to attracted Godolf attention who was working in the kitchen. So looking through the kitchen window, Goldolf ask Ben, ” What happen? Are you alright?”. Ben hearing Godolf concern replied shamefully, ” Yes, sorry for making you worried. ”
Ben is feeling ashamed, even though he said that his second impression would be a good one. Now, however, it all seems like a joke. ” You don’t have to worry about my cooking skill because even though I don’t look capable of eating. In actual fact, I could and even enjoy it greatly. Especially with a good wine by my side. ” said Godolf, trying to clear his friend doubt, taking it the wrong way that Ben is shouting because of him.
” Oh. No no, I never doubted you, it just that I need to shout so that I could have enough determination in my training. So the next time it happens, don’t blame yourself. ” Ben plead, knowing that his friend is the emotional one. ’ you are too ’, Prime counter. ’ You are more’, Ben thought, throwing a hard left hook. ’ I am your mother. ’ Prime replied, dodging the left hook and K.O ben. Ben hearing this froze, seemingly couldn’t believe his ear.
