NieR: Automata Hope

Love

2B's POV

"Creed how are you feeling?" asked Devola

"Good, don't worry about me." replied Creed

"If you need anything let us know." said Popola

Devola and Popola leave the tent so it was just Creed and I in the tent.

"2B can I ask you something personal if you don't mind?" asked Creed

I nodded in response.

"So what's your relationship with 9S?" asked Creed

"Partner and a hearing friend." I replied

Creed observes me for a while before nodding.

"Then how come you like acted different with him?"

"Cause I wanted to hide it."

"Oh, your emotions." said Creed, "You focus on the mission a lot."

"Well, yes missions." I trailed off remembering everything that I've done to 9S.

"Is there something else?" I asked

I look around the tent and quickly check outside, just to make sure no one was around to listen.

"Pod, notify me when 9S is approaching." I ordered my Pod

"Affirmative." replied my Pod

I sat down next to Creed's bed. Creed leans over his bed and picks up his water bottle.

"Why being so secretive now?" asked Creed

"The truth is, I was created to kill 9S."

Creed spits out his water and starts coughing. I look at him in confusion to why he spit out his water.

"You were tasked to kill 9S?" Creed looks at me with shock look on his face

"Yes. My name 2B was a coverup, it's supposed to be type-E, I'm supposed to be 2E." I replied

"E? B mean battle, what does E mean?" asked Creed

"Execution."

Creed sighs and rubs his eyes.

"You were an executioner?" he asked

"We're a special type of androids that execute YoRHa androids if they discover anything. Then we erase their memories so causing them to forget what they were doing." I replied

"Discover what?" asked Creed but barely in a whisper

"The extinction of mankind."

Creed flinches from my reply and just looks away.

"But if you wiped his memories, there's a possibility he can learn again." said Creed

"Yes he did."

"So how many times have you, killed him?"

I didn't want to say it, I didn't want to hurt Creed in any way where I lose him but there's no point in hiding it.

"48 times." I replied

Creed leans back on the bed and lets out a long sigh.

"48 times." whispered Creed, "It was your mission wasn't it?"

"Yes, we were designed to do that." I replied

"Does he know?"

"A2 told him during a fight between them, since A2 had my memories because I was infected."
