by fnovelpia‘I feel somehow lucky today.’
In fact, I felt strangely lucky, not just today, but lately.
It’s not a big deal, but it’s small luck, like spotting a four-leaf clover on the way or seeing the traffic light turn green every time you cross the street.
Nari Kim, who thought she had never been very lucky, felt that this small bit of luck was new and special.
Isn’t Korea the country that pushed ahead with technology that was met with concern rather than admiration around the world, only to collapse and receive criticism from around the world, with population and birth rates plummeting and more biobots than people?
Apart from the comfortable life that bio-bots have made, Nari did not like the depression that permeated society as a whole, as well as the feeling of defeat, wondering why humans should work when they are being pushed out by bio-bots.
It’s not that I don’t like the quiet atmosphere, but would it be boring if it continued like that?
My friends had the same thoughts, and I often hung out with them, probably because I thought that biobots would make money even if I didn’t work.
Although Nari is an extrovert, she is an introvert who feels like she is wasting energy every time she goes out, so she sometimes joins in where the kids are playing.
There were times when I had ridiculously contradictory thoughts that I wanted it to be noisy and quiet at the same time.
Wouldn’t it be nice to make noise with good news at least once?
Although it may seem meaningless now.
“Wow! Turn around! Hold me! Jaaa!”
A voice that makes you laugh as soon as you hear it.
The child was raised by a neighbor next door.
At first, I wondered when she got married, but when I heard her circumstances, I felt sorry for her.
When I think about it, that child came and a little luck began.
With this small bit of luck and slightly noisy neighbors, my daily life from now on wouldn’t be so boring.
I opened the window and looked at the child.
A child was knocked around in the garden by a huge fan that I don’t know where it came from, and a robot called Doldol grabbed the child’s feet and lifted the child upside down to save the child.
In the child’s hand, he was holding a dandelion stem that had all blown away and there was nothing left.
Don’t you usually blow on dandelions with your mouth?
I’m thinking of blowing it away with a fan…
Something like white dust flew this way and landed on my hand.
It was a white dandelion seed.
*****
“Ah… Did the dandelion fly far?”
[Dandelion seeds, the 90 to 110 cap hairs that form the cap shape create a pressure difference between the top and bottom of the cap hairs when air passes between them. This pressure difference creates a ring-shaped vortex flow above the cape and acts as a drag force that stably prevents the dandelion seeds from falling. Can fly farther. Separated vortex ring form.]
Doldol’s words were always difficult.
Although I claim to be a new head in terms of characteristics, my intelligence was so much higher that even with those characteristics, I was at a level where I thought I would be considered a genius.
But Doldoli’s words are difficult.
Isn’t this something that only experts who have worked in the field for more than 10 years would know?
“Difficult. Please explain it easily.”
Then Doldoli lifts a flower and says:
“Want me to explain?”
[Difficult to understand with the small brain of the small owner. I want you to memorize the names of flowers.]
“I don’t have a small brain!”
I felt bad for no reason and hit my head.
Ah, but since you’re young, wouldn’t your brain be small?
I don’t think it’s entirely wrong…
“Yeop! Little boy!”
While I was thinking about it, I heard a familiar voice.
“Huh? Oh, hello!”
At that time, he was a person who called himself Violet’s subordinate.
But to what extent is it always visible if one hates work?
“What are you doing?”
“Dandelion seeds flying.”
“Is it fun?”
“Yes. I want to blow more, but there aren’t many dandelions in my garden.”
“Hmm… Then just wait a moment!”
Since it disappeared and didn’t show up like that, I started uploading the chain letter again these days.
These days, the number of views is the same, but the comments are coming in one by one, which makes me feel better.
It was a bonus that a little bit of luck came back due to my gratitude.
[‘Be happy too.’ Comments posted.]
“You’re a good person!”
However, compared to the track record of chain letters, which were gradually trending upward, the good luck I had accumulated was leaking out like poison with a hole in it.
It seems like one of the affiliates of a large, wealthy company is sucking up all the money while its growth potential is minimal.
There is still a lot of luck, but special measures are needed!
‘release! We need to franchise our restaurant called ‘Birds’ Rest Area’ to increase the number of places that supply more luck!
“There you go! Come here!”
As expected, it shows a different quality from other regular birds that just eat and leave.
Black Wing comrades are affectionate.
The crow seemed curious and sat on my arm in response to the call.
It’s heavy.
“I’m sharing this with other crows and letting them know. Are you going to make a box of nuts in a park near here later? Tell them to come there.”
I looked anxiously at the crow, which tilted its head and snatched the bag of nuts in my hand with its beak.
You understand that right, right?
I said that the crow’s intelligence in my head is at a very high level, but I don’t know to what extent.
Still, wouldn’t you understand that it is said to be at a level that easily surpasses the intelligence of a 7-year-old?
“Since you are a Black Wing colleague, I will make you a special manager.”
I waved goodbye to the crow that flew away with the bag in its mouth.
Bring lots of other crows!
While we were working hard to expand our business, a huge car suddenly appeared in front of our house.
The car looked strange, with something like a cylinder on the back and a huge gun barrel like a cannon on top.
“Woah! Little boy.”
The window of the huge car opened, revealing the face of Violet’s subordinate.
“Ride quickly!”
“Wisdom told me not to go out.”
“Ah~ Just come back on time! Let’s go!”
That’s right!
In the end, if you don’t get caught, it’s okay, right?
“Let’s go!”
“Gazua~”
“But where are you going?”
“He said he wanted to blow dandelions! Everything posted here is dandelion!”
Oh my!
Are all these dandelions?
Is that possible?
The body of the car was so high that Doldori lifted me up and his subordinate took me in and fastened my seatbelt.
Out of curiosity, I opened the window and looked at the cylinder behind me.
It’s full of those little dandelions in here?
Where did you get it all?
“Where did you get this many dandelions?”
“I brought it from the botanical garden because it grew rapidly. You can do it too, just pay the money.”
“Wow, so this was all made with money?”
Instead of answering, she grinned.
You paid money to make it, right… ?
“The bio bot that works there made it. Humans make us work without giving us money, so we should at least get something like this.”
“Is that so?”
Well, what I heard was true.
Everyone should be paid for the work they do, but if they don’t give it to them, wouldn’t it be right to take it in return?
“Then what about this car?”
“Farming seed sowing machine! I also got this from the botanical garden.”
As the subordinate drove, he pressed a large button, and a huge dandelion seed was launched into the sky from the gun barrel attached to the head of the car.
It looks so fun!
“Nyahahaha!”
“Me too! Me too!”
“Press~”
When I pressed that big button, dandelion seeds were scattering in the wind as if dancing in the sky.
It’s like snow.
“Yah!”
“Ha~Hahaha!”
I was so excited that I pressed the button, and endless dandelions flew around. At one point, the dandelion seeds covered the sky white like a thick fog, and I felt something strange.
huh?
Dandelion seeds were sparkling and shining.
As if it contained white luck.
Because of this, even though the sky was broad daylight, it gave the illusion that white stars were twinkling and floating in the deep blue sky.
“Gasp!”
Did I get lucky without realizing it?
I wasn’t lucky enough to be able to afford all those dandelion seeds, so if I looked closely at the floating dandelion seeds, each one contained only a faint grain of luck.
It was a waste to lose all the luck I had collected, but it might not be so bad if you think that the villagers here get good luck by picking it up…
The problem is whether there are many people who pick up the dandelion seeds that are flying around like that.
“Still, it was fun.”
Still, it was fun.
It’s the height of inefficiency, but so what?
Next time, I’ll just have to get some luck from the birds again.
We returned home quickly, like troublemakers running away after an accident.
In such a quiet neighborhood, this level of commotion must have been rare, as quite a few people were seen coming out to check the cause of the commotion.
“Yot! See you later!”
After dropping me off, I called her out as she was leaving in a hurry.
I spoke to her as she peeked out of the window with a face full of questions.
“Edelweiss!”
“Huh?”
“It’s a name! They say it’s a precious memory!”
Her eyes widened, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.
“Sounds like a foreign name? Anyway, thank you!”
‘Edelweiss? Is your name too long? If you shorten the name… Eva… Something feels strange. ‘How should I call you?’ He muttered, closed the window, and waved his hand to see her off.
When I arrived home and entered the garden, I saw something black tapping on the floor.
You’re the crow manager, right?
What are you doing?
What the crow was pecking at was the bag of nuts I gave him earlier.
Society… embezzlement… !
This is embezzlement!
I was told to share it with other crows and promote it…!
My body was shaking with anger.
“Hey! I told you to promote it! I never gave it to you to eat alone!”
caw
I glared at the crow as it flew away after eating it all out of disgust.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been asked to leave the house either.”
“Gasp!”
“ Lately, the bio-bot has been strangely visiting my house and taking care of it, so I left it alone, but I should have told it to stay home, right?”
“Why did you come so early today!”
*****
Clap
He lifted a firearm that was so large that it would have been difficult for an ordinary human to even lift it and would have been close to impossible to shoot.
It would be very difficult to hold and swing it due to the structure of the gun, but the size and weight alone made it feel like a threat similar to a blunt weapon.
It was closer to a tank barrel than a gun.
If a human were to shoot it, the recoil alone would render it incapable of combat.
This was a weapon exclusively for combat-type biobots.
It is also a weapon that must have such powerful output that ordinary combat types cannot even use it.
It was one of Violet’s favorite weapons, and there were quite a few criminals who threw away their guns and lay down on the ground in surrender just by the presence of this weapon.
Violet was a machine mainly used for missions that were difficult to solve simply by deploying general combat-type biobots.
In the case of the general mass-produced model, it was somewhat stronger than a soldier equipped with a reinforced exoskeleton, but a premium aircraft like the Violet was truly a weapon in itself.
Therefore, in most missions, the reconnaissance team finds out the hideouts or trading places of criminal organizations and deploys Violet’s platoon to destroy them.
I always took on such simple rescue missions.
It didn’t have to be complicated.
Once Violet is brought in, everything just ends.
“Reconnaissance team. Have you checked the rabbit’s tunnel?”
[No~]
“I enter alone.”
[really? Why do you keep doing that these days? And then you get hurt?]
“Repeat. I enter alone.”
[Entering TD-2056.]
It was an overly light report that did not fit the situation, but they did not care.
Conversing according to the rigid rules set by humans was a method that even the somewhat restrained combat-type biobots did not like very much.
Violet explored the factory door.
‘Handprint. A recent sign. ‘This is the right entrance.’
Originally, in order to prevent any possible damage to Violet, other platoon members would have been pushed in and the battle would have ended in one go.
But at some point, Violet stopped wanting to fight like that.
I was able to finish it alone without any damage, and I hated seeing my platoon members getting damaged sometimes.
Those around her say that Violet changed after seeing her behavior like that.
And Violet didn’t think the change was bad.
‘But what is this mark?’
