by fnovelpiaIt’s confusing.
My head was filled with question marks.
If I were to express it in words, it would be full of ????????????
That’s the Ex-Machina of the battery that everyone in the world wanted to know about.
“Not only not an elder, but the opposite, a loli brat!?”
“That’s rude from the start. It’s not only that you treat me like an old man, but you’re also surprised by the fact that I’m a loli.”
“Ah, no. So this is… … .”
“Hey. You’re that high-tech hero? How old are you?”
“I’d rather hear this reaction.”
A girl who smiles brightly as she looks up at Ruina, who asks her age innocently.
With so many monitors shining behind her, her shadowed face looks like she’s up to something.
“Unfortunately, I’m not as young as you think.”
“Then legal loli… … ?”
“Handler. Were you originally this kind of character?”
Ex-Machina frowns slightly on her small face.
As if I had encountered something terrible.
But there was nothing I could do.
Because in my head, the Ex-Machina was a tall, intellectual looking man with rimless glasses, or a neat old man who was doing cyber-world things that were not befitting of his age.
“She is a hero who has been helping us since before.”
Team Leader Lee Tae-seok’s quiet explanation suddenly interrupted.
Exmachina folded her arms and nodded in agreement.
“It was all thanks to her that we were able to capture Ruina.”
“Was that so, Ruina?”
“You didn’t say, “Please catch me~” to someone, did you? When I was thinking about catching Ham, the team leader and the men in suits suddenly showed up.”
“As soon as Ruina was captured, I immediately tracked her with all the electronic devices nearby.”
“Aha.”
After all, these days, CCTV, black boxes, and security cameras are installed everywhere in the world.
To Exmachina, each and every one of them was an eye.
“… … … … Hmm?”
Just wait a minute.
If Ruina is captured, track her down immediately?
So does that method still work?
“Excuse me. Ex-Machina?”
◦Please leave out the person named “. He is not someone who should be supported by anyone.”
“Then Ex-Machina. Have you been tracking Ruina recently?”
“Hooo. That’s what you’re asking. Sharp.”
Ex-Machina raises the corners of her lips.
“That must have been strange. There was no strategic crisis response team in the bank, but they barged in as soon as Ruina tried to do something.”
“Ah! As expected!?”
I definitely thought it was strange.
There’s no way you can see inside the bank from the outside.
The moment Ruina was about to smash the villain’s head, the agents came in with perfect timing.
“There are many high-definition CCTVs in the bank, you know. Some of them even have high-end models that can record voices, which is really nice.”
“Then, the agents were able to continue to follow Ruina’s movements… … .”
“It’s all thanks to her.”
These were the words of Team Leader Lee Tae-seok that drove the wedge in again.
“I’m asking just in case… …. Did they keep spying on my house like that too?”
“Unfortunately, that’s wrong. You asked the team leader to respect your privacy, right? Then you should respect it.”
I don’t know what it is that you regret, but that’s what it is, isn’t it?
Just this morning, Ruina and I were trying to have a passionate affair.
The sadness in my chest just swept away.
“What are you two talking about? My house?”
Ruina, who was sandwiched between me and Ex Machina, smiled brightly.
But the atmosphere coming from her was the heavy one I felt when I met Si-eun.
No matter how difficult someone may look, if they are a woman, I always look at them with caution…
“I asked if our entire lives were being filmed.”
“Hey. Are you kidding me and wanting to see our sweetheart?”
Ruina clings to my arm, giggling.
“I’m sorry, but I’m not a kid, and I definitely don’t have that kind of hobby. In the first place, your lovey-dovey relationship without having sex even once looks incredibly dull.”
“Three, threesex!?”
What the heck are you talking about all of a sudden!
Didn’t you just confidently say that no one was spying on your house!?
As I gaped like a goldfish in embarrassment and shame, Ex-Machina rested her chin on the back of her hand and showed an indifferent expression.
“According to e-commerce records, there were 0 purchases of adult products, including condoms. Don’t get too worked up, Handler, because you can tell just by looking at this result.”
“Nose, condom… ….”
“Or what? Are you both extreme thrill seekers?”
“How could that be!!?”
I ended up yelling at a super famous hero without realizing it.
Ah, the image of the lofty hero in my head.
I never thought he’d be such a cynical loli kid who would say such straightforward things…
Following Ruina, it was another moment of unimaginable shock.
“Let’s get to the main point.”
It was Team Leader Lee Tae-seok who calmed the chaotic atmosphere with a bit of Eros.
“Ex Machina. Get ready.”
“Get lost. I’m getting tired because it’s been so long since I’ve met people.”
A tone of speech that seems more familiar to computers than humans.
Ex-Machina swiveled his executive chair around and faced the numerous monitors.
By the way, it’s really an amazing sight.
Dozens of monitors were displaying complex, different information and images.
This looks like a high-tech secret base that could have come out of a famous hero comic book of the past.
Although the hero herself was far from the classic hero image, the space she was stationed in made the hearts of hero otakus flutter.
“So you’ve been living here all along?”
“No way.”
When asked over the back of the large chair, Ex-Machina answered quickly, tapping away at her keyboard.
“No matter how big the country is, if you stay in one place for too long, you’ll be tracked. For a hero like me who uses electronic warfare as a means, maintaining security is vital. That’s why there are several more safe rooms all over the place.”
“How many places like this… … .”
They say that top-tier heroes make so much money that it’s ridiculous to think that the ten million won I get is like that.
When you see these cutting-edge sights or hear Ex Machina’s words, it seems like it must be true.
“Okay, the communication network multi-circuit opening is complete.”
Ex-Machina pressed Enter with great enthusiasm, saying, “Blame!”
At that moment, the monitors merged into one giant screen, displaying the English word COMPLETED.
“Team Leader. What on earth have you prepared?”
“As I said, it is a means by which you can communicate even if you are apart.”
It would probably be better not to ask this gentleman anything.
If you ask, it will only make you more curious.
“Okay. Let’s share it among ourselves.”
In the meantime, Ex-Machina turned back to us.
What lay on her tiny palm was a silver ring and a pair of earrings.
“Accessories?”
“Is this a gift?”
Ruina and I looked down at them and spoke at the same time.
“That’s right. It’s a one-of-a-kind custom-made product, just made for you guys.”
I can tell at a glance that the ring is mine.
The earrings appeared to belong to Ruina.
In Ruina’s case, she wouldn’t be able to decorate her hands with anything.
“Are these accessories a means of communication?”
“That’s correct for now. Try it on and I’ll tell you the rest.”
“Honey. I’ll put a ring on it.”
“Oh, yeah.”
Ruina, holding the ring, grabs my left hand.
I wonder if that’s true.
The finger she carefully put the ring on was her fourth finger.
It seems like it was sized to fit my ring finger from the beginning.
The ring fit perfectly.
“Hehehe. It would have been better if it was a couple.”
Ruina, who likes to be reminded of the ball.
Her words, however, left a bitter aftertaste somewhere.
“What a cute little dangling thing. Isn’t it?”
Then, wearing silver earrings that sparkled, Ruina asked.
Usually, accessories decorate people.
In the case of the pretty girl in front of you, she is so beautiful that she doesn’t really need any help from accessories.
So, the cute thing here isn’t the earrings,
“You’re cute.”
“Ah, eh, ehihi♡”
Ruina came into my arms, letting out her signature laugh.
And beyond.
Is it true that he doesn’t care much about our sweetheart?
Ex-Machina had a glum expression on her face, as if to say, ‘Stop being a jerk and get this over with.’
“So what is this?”
“Seeing is believing.”
Ex Machina repeated the proverb someone had told me, snapping her fingers.
And at that moment.
For a moment, I felt a tingling sensation and an electric shock all over my body.
Is it the same for Ruina, who is held in his arms?
He turned his face away from me and blinked.
[What the heck? Did I just get electrocuted…?]
[Oh, what?]
“!?!?”
“Eh… . Your voice is in my head right now… … .”
It was certain.
To me, it’s Ruina’s thoughts.
My thoughts were being conveyed to Ruina as they were.
It’s like telepathy.
