I was extremely upset.

    I didn’t notice because he usually joked around or spoke softly, but he got so angry and scolded me that I shed tears.

    These are not my tears…

    Another characteristic of a weak, young body that I chose…

    I wanted to say something, but when I think about it from a different perspective, I realized that if I had heard that a child living in my house had taken advantage of the time I was away from home to sneak out without saying a word and almost got in big trouble, if it had been me, I would have scolded him.

    But that’s it… My mood goes back and forth because sometimes I feel like I’m going to get scolded for going out as a grown man.

    When Ji-hye apologized for getting angry and said it was actually her fault for not paying attention, she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut even more.

    However, when I heard that the robot at home was too old and could not prevent the child from going outside, and that it needed to be changed, it was such a serious matter that I had no choice but to shout total opposition and order him to stop eating and drinking for 20 minutes and lie down on the floor.

    “Adamantly against it!”

    “Where does this guy keep learning things like that? Is it a TV?”

    Even though our time together was short, the bond we shared was so great that it would not be an exaggeration to call us soulmates!

    Even more so because the robot gave me a little bit of luck along with the fact that I had incredible abilities!

    Favors must be repaid!

    “I went out without him knowing, why is it his fault?”

    “It’s my fault. But the reason I felt safe leaving was because of this robot. I don’t feel safe because I didn’t fulfill my role properly.”

    Hearing those words, he puffed out his chest and shrugged his shoulders.

    I am an adult.

    Don’t repeat the same mistake twice.

    “You can rest assured now! Now I don’t want to do that.”

    “I don’t feel safe, so I’ll go somewhere else.”

    He reached out his hand to go buy a new robot together, but he stuck to the robot’s lower body and held on until the end.

    Resolutely hold on!

    If this continues, I will lose a friend who shared memories with me!

    A few but precious memories flash through my mind like a flash of light…

    There really are only a few?

    Unable to withstand the force that stretched out his hand and pulled his waist, his legs that were wrapped around the robot’s body fell off, and he barely managed to hold on with his hands.

    “You really don’t listen.”

    “This guy and I are friends! soul mate! My Doldol! Wow…”

    “What is Doldoli?”

    In the end, it was me who won.

    Jihye couldn’t use her strength for fear of getting hurt, so there was no such thing as force.

    [friend. People who have known each other for a long time can be friendly without formalities. In other words, friend]

    “He has no sense! If you had just cut me off before, you would have just lived!”

    I hit my head.

    To put it in an explanatory tone, it looks like a simple machine!

    That’s meaningless information that comes up when you just search for the meaning on the Internet.

    “Ugh… okay. Let’s think about it some more. Either change it later or buy another one.”

    Jihye, who grumbled that there was no reason to run two robots in a house like this, seemed to have a change of heart and went out to the garden in a robot.

    The robot that came outside looked closely at the flower whose stem had broken off and had fallen to the ground.

    Are there birds or small animals that frequent this place?

    The robot picked up the still-blooming flower and placed it on my head.

    In the garden, there were already birds gathered in bird baths and bird houses, and I was very satisfied because it seemed like a good luck farming area.

    Of course, it’s not just about luck farming, I also like animals.

    The robot opened its hard hand and showed birdseed, and the birds flocked around to eat it.

    The crow still left shiny items behind.

    Maybe they think of this place as a nest?

    Anyway, when the birds finished eating and flew away or sat down and chirped, white dandruff-like things would fall off the rainwater.

    Then, small white powder-like particles collected on the birds’ bodies and collected in my hand.

    At first it’s missile dandruff!

    I said this and avoided it, but when I realized that wasn’t the case, I calmly opened my hand and took it.

    A lot of small white particles gather in my hands… what should I say…

    It’s like some kind of drug.

    As it penetrates into the body, you feel better -> Have a good day -> The next day, you feel worse than yesterday -> Inhale again -> Feel better

    omg… !

    While I was imagining something strange, the robot seemed to have almost finished distributing meals to the birds and shook out the remaining nuts from the bag into a bowl as if it was the last time.

    Seeing the birds eating deliciously made me want to try it too, so I secretly ate one while watching them.

    Well, it was my first time eating it.

    My head said it tasted like almonds, but I didn’t know what those almonds tasted like.

    Oh, this is delicious.

    The robot was doing the same work as yesterday, so I stuck my face outside the fence and observed the outside.

    Sometimes observing people like this wasn’t so bad.

    It was good to kill time, and because I had no common sense about the world, it was also good to watch and refer to what people were doing outside.

    Most of them were biobots, but you could still see people occasionally.

    People didn’t seem to welcome biobots that much, but they also felt uneasy when there weren’t enough of them.

    It was contradictory.

    But the people here really did.

    Although he felt that biobots brought security, comfort, and something to relieve his loneliness, he did not actually treat them kindly, and sometimes seemed to treat them harshly.

    But most people were friendly with each other.

    Neighbors were friendly to each other, and even if they were strangers, they often said hello and saw each other.

    Of course, there were people who did not distinguish between biobots and treated them, but I was surprised to see that there were more people who treated them unkindly than I expected.

    Did you say you don’t like biobots?

    People’s views on biobots seemed to apply to me to some extent.

    I’m not a biobot, but people didn’t seem to be very happy with my presence.

    Some people looked at me as if they were looking at a time bomb about to explode at any moment, and some people even ran away when they saw me.

    In severe cases, symptoms of vomiting were also observed.

    Why is that?

    Does this body also look like a biobot?

    If I thought about it slowly, I thought I might feel that way.

    Because she was a very cute, beautiful woman with clear facial features and had wings that normal humans don’t have.

    Biobots don’t have horns on their heads, but there was a biobot with small horns that saved me yesterday, so I didn’t see it in person, but wouldn’t there be a type that can’t be seen at all?

    I feel somewhat glum.

    Just as I was about to stop observing and go inside the house, I saw a person walking alone on the road in a flashy outfit.

    A beautiful woman walking around with a huge gun in her hand, looking like a special forces unit of the future would wear something like this.

    It was the woman who helped me yesterday.

    They say it’s a combat-type biobot, but it seems to be in charge of maintaining public order.

    I hurriedly brought the robot over and asked.

    “What is a combat-type biobot?”

    [Typical biobots learn general common sense and skills and act like humans. However, except for basic common sense, combat-type biobots mostly learn combat and engagement, as well as human psychology, crime, and fighting methods. It is a model created purely for combat, and many people who see combat-type biobots think that biobots are machines without emotions. In fact, he rarely expresses his emotions. There are many people who possess powerful weapons and do not express emotions, so they are hostile or fearful.]

    They say they are protecting the city, but why are they hostile?

    If a woman like that were to come running to save me if I was in danger, I would be very confident in welcoming her.

    Are the sensibilities of people here a little different?

    [I only believe what I see with my own eyes.]

    Do not judge others based solely on rumors or appearances.

    You meet that person in person, see them with your own eyes, and judge through their experiences.

    This can be both an advantage and a disadvantage.

    Thoughts at the time: Right, right. People have to see it for themselves and judge it. It could be a rumor, right?

    “Then is that woman a combat-type biobot?”

    [Combat type biobot TD-2056 model main purpose is to defend urban areas and track violent criminals. Occasionally, they are called upon to carry out operations to apprehend criminal organizations hidden in rural areas. In that case, some combat-type biobots guard the city.]

    “I see.”

    As I was trying to open the door, I was physically blocked by the robot next to me.

    that’s right! If this continues, the robot will become a robot/bot.

    I hurriedly opened the door of the house and jumped in and clung to Jihye’s legs as she was trying to get out.

    “Sleep!”

    “Why? Oh, you can’t leave the house today.”

    “Rather than that, can I go out for a moment?”

    I asked for permission to go out briefly.

    Of course, it was flatly rejected.

    “No. It’s time for me to go to work now. Are you going to go too far like yesterday and get in big trouble again?”

    “Ah~ It only takes a moment! Just one minute!”

    Jihye, who was looking down at me like she was a troublemaker, sighed and picked me up and went outside with me.

    Mmm, fresh air outside.

    Does it feel like you’ve been released from prison?

    Since I didn’t have much time, I gasped and ran towards the woman who was just ahead of me, with only the back of her head visible.

    As I got closer, it seemed to have already sensed that I was approaching, so it turned around and waited for me to approach.

    “What happened?”

    Before coming out, I picked up a few flowers that had fallen in the garden and held out a rough bouquet.

    “Thank you for protecting the village! It’s a gift!”

    The woman’s poker face broke, her expressionless face from earlier gone, and she awkwardly accepted the flower with a mysterious expression.

    “This?”

    “Flowers! It smells good.”

    She took the flower and looked down at me quietly.

    It was as if he was doing something meaningless, but he didn’t care whether he thought so or not.

    If you like me, that’s enough.

    “What is your name?”

    She thought deeply with a look on her face as if she didn’t know the purpose of this story.

    Then he blurted it out as if nothing had happened.

    “TD-2056”

    “That’s not a name.”

    “There is no name. That means me.”

    Is that really the case?

    Still, a name was needed.

    If she’s in charge of security for this city and passes by here often, wouldn’t we at least need a name to call her?

    Some may say it is meaningless, but humans were originally inefficient animals.

    Whatever you do, it’s up to you.

    Is there anyone who can stop me from wanting to talk and become friends with the benefactor who saved me?

    “Then next time we meet, I’ll give you a name!”

    “It is an unnecessary action.”

    “The name is not unnecessary. A name is precious and important to everyone.”

    After hearing the answer, she said nothing.

    It may have been a hasty guess or a delusion, but she opened her mouth slightly and looked a little shocked, a surprised expression I had never seen before.

    Maybe it was an expression of disbelief.

    “We are friends from now on!”

    There was no reply, but I waved goodbye.

    Although she didn’t say hello, she nodded to the flower held in her hand, like a flower with white luck swaying in the wind.

    That image felt like her answer.

    Jihye, who had been watching us quietly from behind, put her hand on my head and roughly stroked it.

    “You’re nice even if you don’t listen.”

    “Am I a good listener?”

    “I guess so. I’m going. I’ll give you a nice present when I come back. Please stay calm at home.”

    “Gift?”

    “There is such a thing.”

    *****

    It’s inefficient.

    [I do not need. It’s just that little thing that won’t cause any problems. Such variables are unavoidable.]

    After finishing my periodic reports, I connected to the combat-type biobot network.

    There was very little conversation.

    Because it’s unnecessary.

    Unlike the regular type, the combat-type biobot had no meaningful actions or knowledge for emotional satisfaction like humans.

    Just carry out your mission.

    That was it.

    Combat-type bio-bots simply found a way to relax the rules that enforced bio-bots for the sake of efficiency.

    [It’s a flower. The child I saved gave it to me.]

    But some changes have occurred.

    Small flowers of various colors.

    It was a photo that had no particular meaning to them.

    [This is a pretty flower when viewed objectively.]

    [The child has excellent aesthetic sense.]

    [Isn’t the child afraid of you?]

    [It’s not like that. My child considers me a friend.]

    The chat became quiet.

    However, soon after, chats like this started popping up one after another.

    [Such experiences are great learning data. This is because there may be children among the hostages. Getting to know your child is also a good way to learn. Where is the child? Request to share training data.]

    [Are the child’s intentions pure?]

    There was no answer to that.

    This was because he himself had no understanding of the child’s intentions.

    I put the flower the child gave me to my nose and smelled it.

    It was a meaningless action.

    But such a meaningless action paints an expression on her face that even she has never seen in the 10 years since she was created.

    On her skin, which was as white as drawing paper, there were flowers in full bloom.

    Only then did she realize the reason for the meaningless actions humans sometimes exhibit.
