Late at night.

Harmon left the village with the shower and went into the wilderness.

‘It’s been a long time since I’ve been to the wilderness.’

This is for testing the performance of the shower head.

Behind Harmon, a shower dressed in a large black robe walked along, his eyes covered by goggles on his helmet as he moved with the hood of his robe pulled down over his head.

It was similar to when Domi hid the shower, but with a slight difference: her combat parts were attached to the outside of the robe.

The battle parts, which were originally shiny new and freshly restored through restoration, were turned into rags by Harmon’s hands, made up of scrap metal strewn about in the basement.

By attaching such combat parts to the robe, the shower head is transformed into a new scavenger with unique equipment.

Additional parts were added to the inside of the robe to hide the shower’s overwhelming volume and create a manly body.

As they left the village and got some distance away, Harmon spoke to the shower.

“Should we try flying first?”

“Okay.”

The showerhead relayed all the detailed machine specs to its owner, Harmon, so Harmon had a rough idea of what the showerhead could do.

At Harmon’s command, the shower went in front of Harmon and carefully hugged him.

Shower, who gently held Harmon, who was larger than her, like a mother holding a baby in her arms, unfolded the combat parts wrapped around her robe.

The steel wings, divided into several parts, were hanging on her after restoration was completed.

It was too small to be called a normal wing, but it was positioned in a fighter jet-like shape, and water from the shower flowed into it.

The water that entered the wing was converted into energy and ejected from the nozzle.

“Whoa!”

In an instant, the ham and shower head shoot upward.

The showerhead saw Harmon groaning under the pressure of the air hitting him, so it created a protective barrier of water around itself to block the air.

Thanks to that, Harmon felt better and was able to look around.

“Ugh.”

I opened my eyes wide in surprise at the sight of the dust cloud that had become so close that I could almost touch it.

Looking around, I see the small lights of Guldari Village below, and the endless wilderness stretching out in all directions.

“and.”

“Are you having fun?”

“This is my first time flying. Yeah. It’s fun.”

“That’s fortunate.”

At Harmon’s words that it was fun, the shower laughed and began to move gently across the sky.

“How far can this fly?”

“You can fly almost forever, because it doesn’t take much energy to create water for flight.”

“Awesome. Can I make something like those wings?”

At Harmon’s words, the shower laughed and said.

“You can make it. If you are the master, you can definitely do it.”

“Hmm.”

Harmon was suddenly speechless at those words that conveyed endless trust.

“… … .”

He hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say, and then finally opened his mouth.

“Thank you.”

After flying for a while, Harmon and Shower landed somewhere in the wilderness and looked at the mechanical weapons there.

That was Tigris.

It was the same type of machine weapon that destroyed the shower before. However, since the type of machine it consumed was different, the detailed appearance was different.

“Do you remember? I remember being hit by something like that.”

“Yes, there is.”

“Okay. So try to win this time.”

Shower nodded at Harmon’s words, separated the parts that were arranged in the shape of wings, let them float around him like a fan, and went in front of Tigris.

As the shower head appeared, Tigris, who had been lying still, got up from his seat and bared his teeth at the shower head.

[Krrr.]

Tigris recreates the dinosaur’s roar in the movie.

The shower head, upon seeing that, immediately produced the strongest liquid it could create, and the surrounding parts manipulated the liquid produced by the shower head and shaped it into a specific shape.

In the past, shower heads simply created liquid and sprayed it out, but now it’s different.

The liquid that was created was transformed into mist by the power of the machines and flew towards Tigris. The liquid that touched Tigris’ body instantly melted and disappeared.

At the end of the mist that passed silently and quietly, the giant Tigris disappeared from this world without leaving a trace except for its four feet that were touching the ground.

“… … .”

Harmon was creeped out when he saw that.

It was on a completely different level from the shower heads of the past that could only produce things like water, love liquid, and love gel. I couldn’t figure out what kind of liquid they were making to attack.

‘It’s probably something like acid, right? It’s probably not just hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid.’

“Master.”

The shower looked at Harmon and asked.

“What would you like to try next?”

“… No, I don’t think we need to test it, dude.”

The two returned to the repair shop.

Back at the garage, Harmon went back into the basement and checked the shower.

“Is there anything strange?”

“No. Everything is perfectly restored. Restored… That’s also Ian Black’s work.”

“Hmm. Maybe. This, this wing part… What should I call it?”

Harmon looked at the wing parts floating around.

It has excellent turning power, acceleration, and durability, so it is powerful enough to attack by just flying it around. However, it has the disadvantage of not being able to move more than a certain distance away from the shower.

“Remote fluid manipulation device, Undine 05.”

“05? What about numbers 1 to 4?”

“01 is my AI. 02 is my component. 03 and 04 are external attachments that are now lost and no longer exist.”

“3 and 4 are external attachments, but is 5 attached to you?”

“There was a change in the plan during development.”

The shower said calmly.

“The customer who ordered the kit said he wanted a winged humanoid, so I quickly installed a new Undine 05 on my body. It was a week before I was released.”

“Ah.”

Harmon understood.

This happens to me often too.

A customer who asked me to fix it and I did it neatly, but then he started arguing about why I removed such a nice scratch.

A customer who customized it to his liking and was almost done with it when he suddenly came back and asked for something different.

‘There were truths back then too.’

It seems that people’s personalities do not develop just because technology has developed.

“You made and hung this thing in a week. You’re crazy.”

“This was created by taking some of the functions of 03 and 04.”

“Hahaha! Really? I see.”

Harmon nodded in understanding and stroked Undine No. 05 before looking at the shower.

“Hmm.”

“Why are you like that?”

“No, wait a minute.”

Harmon thought.

‘Now that Isaiah has revealed that he handed over the humanoid to me, the Guldari Guild will know about the shower.’

The Guldari Guild will be watching with interest.

Then it was obvious that I would ask for the humanoid’s name as well.

Unlike Harmon’s sentiments that regard humanoids as machines and tools, the general sentiments of this world treat humanoids very well.

Unlike the crazy machine weapons, they are beautiful beings that are thoroughly obedient and loyal to humans and would never betray their masters.

Beyond simply treating them well, there are even religions that regard humanoids as angels sent by the machine god.

‘Wouldn’t it be awkward to introduce your name with something like a shower?’

Up until now, I’ve never really given it a name because I didn’t feel like it was worth it and I didn’t think I could do that forever.

‘I should treat you well, even externally. Even what I call the shower head will affect my reputation.’

Harmon said while stroking Undine No. 05.

“From now on, your name will be Undine, not Shower.”

“Okay, I’ll erase the shower from the recorded names and register it as Undine.”

Harmon nodded and asked.

“Can’t you erase the name Ariana too?”

“Only the owner, Domi, can do this.”

“I see.”

Harmon smacked his lips in regret.

‘I have to erase it with my own hands someday.’

A light shower… Now that he had finished tidying up Undine and washed off all the dirt and dust, Harmon took Undine to the new bed he had prepared in the basement.

“Let’s check this side this time.”

“Okay, Master Boji.”

“Since you’re here, do you want to train?”

One night, Isaiah, who was bored because he had come out into the wilderness without any purpose or goal, said this to Domi.

“Training?”

“Yeah. You’ve been a collector since you were little, right?”

“Yes, yes. That’s right.”

“If you live as a collector, your body will naturally grow, right?”

Collectors who fight against strong machines and move heavy machine debris inevitably grow muscles.

Modern humans with designer genes have stronger bones and more tenacious muscles.

“But still, it’s good to train. If you have free time, exercise and eat a lot.”

“Ah. Oh, is that so? Dad said that since the body grows on its own, all I have to do is work diligently… .”

“There is a big difference between people who exercise and those who don’t? Do you know Mr. Harmon? He is also a person who worked out hard and built a body.”

Domi, who thought of Harmon’s muscular body, wondered if he could actually have that kind of body. However, he couldn’t quite imagine it.

“If I exercise, can I become like you?”

“Well, since the old man has such a good frame and his muscles have grown well… Well, if I work hard, I can catch up a little bit.”

“Then let’s do it!”

After that, Isaiah and Domi stopped wandering the wilderness and took some time to sit down and exercise.
