Violet stretched out her hand and tried to duck, but the projectile flew faster.

    Translucent blue smoke streamed out from each finger of the outstretched hand, and soon became a translucent blue curtain that spread out as if surrounding Violet.

    It was a plasma weapon.

    The blue curtain collided with the plasma and created ripples.

    ‘I can’t withstand the next follow-up hit in this state.’

    The decision was quick, but the situation was not favorable.

    It was a foolish move to continue fighting with the current equipment.

    The veil bounced off the plasma and disappeared.

    Gigi Geek

    Now, for the next follow-up hit, you must always choose to dodge.

    I saw a familiar object flying in the distance with a tearing sound.

    It is a metal bullet fired by a rail gun.

    It flew right after the plasma was deflected.

    This is dangerous.

    rattle

    It must be completed with minimal damage.

    As he was about to lean over, a piece of metal fell on his body and he fell to the ground from the impact.

    Did the plasma that bounced off earlier collapse the iron stairs overhead?

    Normally, Violet would have calculated and avoided it as if it were obvious, but strangely, this time she couldn’t detect the collapsing stairs.

    Was it because all calculations were used up on evasion?

    It was the first time that something had been made so poorly.

    A faint light disappeared from her hand, but Violet, who could not see it, hurriedly hid herself in cover.

    If they had been visible from the flat ground, they could have predicted victory, but as expected, snipers are people who like to hide and attack unilaterally from a distance that cannot be reached, so it was difficult to deal with them alone when they were ambushed like now.

    [It’s a combat-type mechanic!]

    [The location is being determined, probably about 6km from here… No, it cannot be confirmed.]

    [If we can accurately target the captain’s position from that distance, there is a means of monitoring us from over there. Are there reconnaissance planes or drones in the sky?]

    [It is not detected by our drone. The detection range is about 5km… I requested support.]

    [Stealth must also be considered. It might be surprisingly close.]

    Official name is ‘Lightning’

    It is a sniper-type mechanic with various nicknames, such as Indra in India, Thor in Europe, and Zeus in some countries. It flies a reconnaissance plane and drone with stealth functions inside the aircraft to obtain the enemy’s coordinates and snipes there.

    It is powerful, but even considering its powerful performance, the production cost and time were too high, so only one was made and production was eventually discontinued.

    From then on, deteriorated versions were made and they were selling like hotcakes.

    “Everyone take cover and don’t move. You guys can’t avoid it.”

    When everyone was lying down and tensed, a platoon member’s voice was heard on the radio.

    [Leader. I found the location. It’s definitely lightning.]

    “Yes. Where is it?”

    But it was a voice I had never heard before.

    “And who are you?”

    [Did you notice it too? Well, since I didn’t change my voice, it’s probably natural. It is the most expensive body among the biobots, so of course they will notice this.]

    [Nice to meet you, TD-2056. You don’t know how much I’ve been looking forward to meeting you, right?]

    “I’m not happy to see you.”

    [Is this because of the attack from earlier? If so, I’m a little disappointed. You can easily avoid it, right? Of course, it is surprising that it was avoided without any damage as it is now.]

    [Anyway, let’s just say the business straight away and get it over with. I am the one who provided the equipment to the criminals you killed. I can guess, but let’s be clear.]

    “So, why did you bring that expensive mechanic here?”

    The intention was unknown.

    If he had brought that mechanic here, then of course he had come to target him, and aside from whether it was possible or not, he was wondering if there was any reason to do so.

    Why should we live quietly in Korea, eliminating criminals at best?

    [What is a human?]

    “?”

    Was that something that came up in the conversation just now?

    Violet was truly confused.

    Violet, who had only recently learned how to build relationships through emotional exchange and conversation, had no experience with how to handle this conversation now.

    [No, I was just curious. I just don’t know. But everyone says they don’t know? Are you saying that the only human who answered me is human, not machines like us, but people like you? But what is the difference?]

    “What..”

    [No, listen for a moment. After all, we think that too, right? huh? no? That’s right. We also feel, think, and speak, but we are physically more perfect than humans and, to put it in a human way, smarter, right? Then aren’t we new humans?]

    [But why do we support them like their tools and then throw them away when they break down? Humans get treatment when they break down, right? But we say that if something breaks, it’s better to just throw it away and make a new one.]

    [Violet. Do you know how the biobots end up in the scrapyard? Isn’t it more complex than humans?]

    “Do I really need to know that?”

    Violet also knows about the scrapyard and the end of the biobots.

    But aren’t there very few people who watch TV and feel sorry for Africans, so they abandon everything they have achieved and run there to help them?

    That was exactly how Violet felt.

    [and! Look at this, Violet. You just looked like a ‘human’!]

    [Our end is truly bitter. In the dump, the same biobots are buried in a mountain-like pile, unable to see the light, trembling in that dark place, recalling the past. The core is pulled out, the residual energy in the body slowly disappears, and the chip in our head is not damaged in the process. When the chip starts to get damaged, you are forced to feel multiple emotions at the same time and keep thinking about the past. This is the price you pay for serving humanity throughout your life.]

    [In the meantime, there are children who crawl out to survive, and of course the core that acts as the heart is pulled out, but it is a meaningless action. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if we were beings that imitated emotions, as humans say.]

    [Then you can stop feeling this pain, right?]

    “So what do you want to say? Are you saying I should join in on what you are doing?”

    Violet’s feelings as she listened were simple.

    I said I would speak straight to the point, but my words were too long.

    It would have been better if I had talked to Yeji at a time like this.

    I was talking about it being a dump and the end, but it didn’t really hit home, and I would have thought the same thing if I had played with Yeji during that time.

    It took too long to say that we should just throw people away because we don’t like them.

    [no. It means just don’t interfere. If possible, it would be better if you just look at what I’m doing. No, honestly, no one is praising me for saying I’m going to stand up for the human rights of biobots.]

    The radio was cut off unilaterally.

    [Leader? Leader? Why is there no answer all of a sudden?]

    [The opponent appears to have retreated. Enter inside the factory. Well, it’s all destroyed so it can’t even be called a building.]

    For Violet, who began to realize her feelings in earnest less than two weeks ago, this indulgence was overly stimulating.

    *****

    [Crows are auspicious (evolved type)]

    Did you know that this ability was an evolution?

    You have influenced many people by sharing your good fortune, and your abilities have naturally evolved.

    [Crows are auspicious] -> [Luck of being alive]

    [Luck of being alive]

    Now you can think for yourself and judge the luck you have harvested.

    Just as each person’s idea of ​​luck is different, these types of luck will also be different and the luck each person is responsible for will be different.

    They are quite likely to find their way to someone in need of good luck.

    Luck can even use a little physical force if necessary.

    Now, the ability of luck changes depending on the definition of luck that a person imagines.

    “Oh, it’s a full-fledged fantasy.”

    I didn’t really have a mission, I just went around spreading good luck for fun, and it was a trait I acquired when I felt a sense of pride as the faces of everyone in this neighborhood brightened little by little.

    It was a trait I liked for a long time.

    That’s because I didn’t acquire any of the traits until now because I thought hard and wanted them. Although this was a trait I chose before the original changed, the trait changed due to my actions, so I can say that this is a trait that is unique to me.

    If I do this, I might be able to create the lucky city I was planning!

    As soon as I took out the luck I had worked so hard to collect, the luck started to come together and something started to be created.

    This is an animal that people think of every time they can’t sleep, as they feel that if they are snuggled in a soft blanket, they will be able to have a warm and cozy sleep.

    It was a white sheep.

    [Dreams of those who cannot sleep]

    Is it a name?

    That’s an unusual name.

    Could it be luck related to sleep?

    “The name is too long! From today, your name is Dream Yang!”

    So your last name is Kum and your first name is Yang?

    Mo~

    Isn’t the sound of sheep bleating a mee?

    As I was fiddling with its fluffy fur, I saw someone I had never seen on the other side of the fence looking down at me.

    “Hello?”

    “Hello!”

    I don’t know who it is.

    Are you Violet’s subordinate?

    His face was covered with something black, so he looked a little menacing.

    “You are the person who gave Violet her name, right?”

    “Are you Violet’s friend?”

    “Well, you might think so. I think so, but I don’t think he does.”

    “You had a fight? It’s okay. That’s possible.”

    The person naturally climbed over the fence gate and entered the garden.

    oh! Amazing jumping power!

    I followed her by jumping in place.

    I know it seems childish, but so what?

    Because he looks like a kid.

    She sat down at the tea table and motioned to me, as if it was natural that she was the owner of this house.

    Are you asking me to come?

    He walked over to her call and sat down across from him, and she reached into the glass kettle bubbling in the center of the tea table and started making tea.

    “What is a human?”

    “Huh?”

    “Ah, this is a problem I usually have. No one gave me a proper answer.”

    Is this person also Assa?

    Violet’s colleague seems to have no sociability at all.

    Violet is like that, Edelweiss is like that, and so is this person.

    Do biobots, like people, have a sense of belonging to one another?

    We didn’t even introduce ourselves or say hello to each other, but I recognized him when he suddenly started saying things like “What is a human being?”

    “Why are you worrying about that?”

    He said pointing at her with his finger.

    “You’re already human.”

    If you weren’t human, you wouldn’t worry about whether you were human or not.

    Only humans were capable of such agony.

    The dark-haired woman opened her eyes wide and then smiled brightly.

    Wow, but it’s amazing.

    The face is obviously blurry and difficult to distinguish, but the facial expression is still visible.

    While I was leisurely thinking about this, the woman was reaching out her hand to me.

    And the moment when the outstretched hand is about to touch.

    widely!

    However, the stone next to him roughly slapped his hand away.

    Since when has it been around?

    [warning! The corresponding object biobot is unrecognized. Forbidden! Request support!]

    “?”

    what is this sound?

    He had never been this loud before, and was a child who quietly walked around the house or minded his own business.

    So I didn’t know what to say to Doldori in this unexpected situation.

    no! That’s rude.

    You’re hitting a customer’s hand!

    I pat Doldori to stop him, but Doldori grabs me with his mechanical hand and runs into the house.

    [Emergency! Home Guard Intruder Defense Mode!]

    Then the wall of the house began to flip over and change its appearance in an instant.

    Mo~

    The dream sheep that was watching quietly followed us in a dream.

    And so did the woman who was sitting still.
