Undine’s daily life was boring.

When you wake up in the morning, massage Hamon’s body while he is still awake to help his blood circulation improve, allowing him to wake up refreshed and greet the morning.

I prepare Harmon’s meal, and while he’s eating, I prepare the clothes he’ll wear that day (usually work clothes for protection) and shoes, and after Harmon finishes eating, I start by cleaning his teeth, washing his hair, and washing his body.

After looking after Harmon so diligently, when he goes out to work, Undine begins to have some alone time.

Undine, who lives alone, connects to the maintenance shop’s security system and checks for any abnormalities in Harmon through CCTV while doing other things.

I used to clean out the basement.

The basement was full of debris, which Harmon had left behind as he came down through the basement security system.

And as time passed, the ground collapsed and many of the paths to other areas of the basement were cut off, so work was also done to repair those paths.

The blocking ground was melted, and the ground that had become unstable due to the melting was hardened by applying a liquid that hardens it and makes it hold up, and a path was neatly made. As a result, the basement, which had previously only been usable in the area where there was restoration, was expanded to some extent.

However, Harmon stopped expanding the basement area any further.

Because when they entered the newly breached area, the machine weapons that had been infected with the virus went out of control and attacked Undine.

The weapon was so powerful that even Undine couldn’t easily break through it.

As a result, after blocking the bulkhead, Harmon gave up on expanding the basement area for a while and ordered Undine to clean the basement.

The basement, which is where the power plant is located, was once called the ‘Core Area’ and only had a bed for sex with Restore and Undine, but it gradually expanded as more and more things were added.

Harmon’s workspace where he builds and tests machines.

A warehouse filled with various materials sorted and organized by Undine.

To the weapons warehouse where all the robots that still need to be hidden are stored, as well as the robots and drones.

The core space was so large because of the power plant that even after all this was done, there was still plenty of room left, and after all the busy work was over, Undine was able to live a free life.

With nothing to do, I just spend my days quietly watching Harmon on CCTV.

However, since the concept of boredom and tedium was removed from the core of the humanoid AI, Undine did not care at all about the time passing by freely.

Rather, he was happily spending all that time looking at Harmon, filling his database with Harmon.

At the same time, as Harmon’s data filled Undine’s brain, the HAR implanted in her continued to hack her, deceiving all of her cognition, senses, etc.

At first, the hacking was simply about causing errors in behavior, but it has now reached a level where it doesn’t even care when Domi, the ‘real owner’, appears nearby, and now the hacking work has gradually reached the point of erasing Domi’s existence from her data.

Perhaps, when Domi returned later, he would definitely treat him as ‘a complete stranger he had never seen before’.

Recently, something interesting has appeared in Undine’s life, which had been going on like that.

“Eww!”

It was to take care of Lucky, who was fighting against the robot artificial intelligence under Harmon’s orders.

“Karrr!”

Boom!

Right now Lucky was fighting Pepperoni MK.1.

Pepperoni MK.1 fought Lucky with only two weapons, without using any drones or wearing a powered suit, and Lucky also fought with his bare body, without wearing an external body through cell division due to Undine’s suppression.

I was lucky enough to curl up my small, light body, but then it bounced back as if a spring was springing hard and I ended up crashing into Pepperoni.

Although it was fortunate that its weight was as light as its small body, Pepperoni was unable to resist the impact and flew away.

“Gaaaah!”

“Stop.”

When Undine speaks softly to Lucky, who is about to continue attacking Pepperoni, Lucky stops in shock.

Until now, he had been brutally subdued by Undine more than once after hearing those words, so Lucky had come to the point where he was unknowingly following Undine’s orders.

“Gyarrr… .”

“You’re nice.”

While Undine is restraining Lucky, a repair drone flies in, peels off Pepperoni’s artificial skin, and begins repairing his damaged interior.

Since robots do not have flexible joint structures like humanoids, parts often become misaligned or damaged after being subjected to several strong impacts.

It would be better if there was some kind of buffer between the parts, but unfortunately Harmon couldn’t find any usable buffer.

I was thinking of using the jelly-like liquid that Undine had made as a buffer, but for now, I was only making small robots and testing them, because if I put that liquid in the robot, it would break down immediately.

[Repair completed.]

[Repair completed.]

The repair drone announces that Pepperoni’s repairs are complete and returns.

Undine released Lucky at those words, and Lucky came back to life, gritting his teeth at the sight of Pepperoni appearing before him.

Lucky, who decided that he had to find another way to destroy the pepperoni, crouched down and walked on all fours before charging forward like an animal.

[New pattern. Start learning.]

Pepperoni’s AI, which saw that, steadily learned Lucky’s fighting style and how to respond to it.

A variety of weapon usage options.

How to deal with strong, agile enemies who attack in various ways.

Once the AI learns that, it can copy that learning data and use it in other AIs. Thanks to this, the other robots currently on standby are like baby birds, sitting still and receiving combat data.

At the same time, metal cells are studied.

‘Your body temperature is abnormally high.’

What stands out in Lucky’s physical changes is the change in body temperature.

Normally, when people exercise vigorously, their body temperature rises, but Lucky’s body temperature rose beyond the normal level, easily exceeding 40 degrees.

Despite this, there are no noticeable abnormalities other than the body turning red and a faint steam-like substance seeping out from the body surface.

Rather, it seemed to have become more nimble and flexible.

At the same time, they have not lost the great advantage of metal cells: their solid body.

Kaaang!

Undine continued writing in Lucky’s journal as she heard the sound of metal clashing with metal as Lucky’s elbow slammed into the pepperoni.

* * *

After Lucky’s fight with Pepperoni, Lucky ate a meal prepared by Undine.

At first, Undine was wary of the food she gave him, but after tasting it, Lucky became absorbed in the meal and didn’t care much about anything else.

To Lucky, who spent every day destroying machines in the wilderness, drinking the oil inside, and eating only other people and small rodent-like creatures living in the wilderness, the meal prepared by Undine was a heavenly taste that could not be compared to anything else.

“Meat! Give me meat! Meat! ”

At the same time, Lucky, who had begun to learn simple language, was able to say the names of food first, which was coupled with the delicious meal.

“Meat!”

“Oh, my. There is a diet that the master has set for you. You must eat it unconditionally.”

“Sir, meat!”

“… … Do not dare to go beyond the subject by putting your own opinions and thoughts above the master’s commands.”

Sometimes, when Lucky did not listen, Undine would use her water to torture and discipline him.

“Ugh! Ororok! Huh! Gulp! Kehek!”

It was just a drop of water, but Lucky couldn’t stand it when the water went through his windpipe and into his lungs and touched his body.

Even if it is a living organism made of metal cells, it cannot completely eliminate the limitations of being a living organism.

“Now, here is today’s menu. I prepared it to find out what happens to metal cells when you maintain a vegetarian-based diet for a long time.”

“Ugh. Full. Cold.”

When Lucky frowned, Undine hugged him from behind and forced him to open his mouth.

“This is a precious grass made by the food generator that the owner worked hard to repair. Don’t leave any behind. Now, go ahead.”

“Urgent.”

Lucky, whose mouth was forced open, felt Undine’s hand stroking his head as he chewed the grass that had entered his mouth with frowning eyes.

“Right. Good.”

“That’s so extreme… … .”

At first I rebelled.

He even pounced.

But little by little, Lucky was getting used to his changed life.

A week after being kidnapped by Undine and brought to the Harmon repair shop, she rarely rebels or refuses anything unless something is really serious.

And as a result of consistently eating such a nutritious and satisfying amount of food, Lucky’s body experienced great changes.

Her body, which was so thin that her bones were visible, gained some nice fat, and she gained weight in areas such as her chest, buttocks, and thighs, creating a feminine line.

It was an incredible transformation that was hard to believe had occurred in just a week, but it was possible because the metal cells developed for immortality and longevity had the property of keeping the body in a healthy state.

And after a meal that was so satisfying to the body, even though it was a pain to the tongue, luck was on the line.

Undine took Lucky into bed.

“Okay, now it’s time for sex education. The Master only sees you as a research subject, but since the Master has a strong sexual desire, he will definitely relieve his sexual desire with you someday.”

For that time.

“We will provide thorough training.”

With those words, Undine created tentacles made of water and wrapped them around Lucky.
