Teresa won't starve

"For example, the devouring beast?"

"No, that's a real cat, it's just stronger." The principal thought about which character to use as an example: "For example, Professor Minerva McGonagall in "Harry Burt", she can into a cat. But is she really a cat?"

"That is to say, this little thing was changed by people?"

Teresa rubbed the pointed ears of the little purple kitten, but the little kitten still let her play with it without any reaction.

"Actually, she can't be regarded as a human..." The principal felt that this was not easy to explain, so he gave another example: "Her situation is somewhat similar to Luna, and Luna is also a black cat."

"Who is Luna?"

"Didn't you watch "Sailor Moon" when you were young? Who is Luna?"

"That? I have a little impression..." Teresa watched the Mandarin version on TV when she was a child, or is it called the Taiwanese version?The problem is, she doesn't remember the cat's name at all: "But I still haven't heard of 'Luna'!"

"..."

Although the principal wanted to say, 'If she doesn't have a name, how does the heroine call her? ', but after thinking about it, he gave up and continued to argue: "In short, the two of them are very similar. Although Luna is a cat, it is only on the surface, but it is actually an alien."

"Oh, so this little thing is an alien too?"

"no......"

How come the more I talk, the more I feel that the explanation is not clear?

"Then what do you mean?"

"...Why do you always care about these strange places?"

"What's so strange? Don't normal people care about this?"

"According to what you mean, I'm not a normal person?"

"Makes sense!"

"..."

The principal felt that if he continued, his mentality might explode, so he simply threw this little trouble to others.

As for who to throw it to...the first thing that comes to mind is Shion.

But the problem is, Shiyin seems to be completely on Teresa's side. When the time comes, give her a women's doubles?

That's just one head and two big.

So it was Fimilis who actually called out, and asked the blond AI lady to answer Theresa's question, while the headmaster slipped into the office.

242 "Captain, don't you like me?"

"Am I a ball? Why are you still kicking around?"

Teresa was somewhat dissatisfied with the principal's attitude, she had to ask someone else to answer the questions she could answer herself.

Especially... Miss AI doesn't look very happy yet.

Although there is no such standard 'evil' smile on her face, it is inexplicably more comfortable to see; but when she is unhappy or looking at you calmly, it will also make you unhappy. (So ​​what expression do you use?)

So Teresa asked, "Fimilis, what's the matter?"

"..."

Femiris turned her head to look at Teresa, but she didn't express anything other than 'unhappy' written all over her face (Note).

"Answer my question, Fimilis!"

There was no other way, Teresa had no choice but to use authority, that is, to use the tone of command to force the AI's built-in logic to issue mandatory instructions, so that the AI ​​personality could not avoid answering this question.

No matter how unwilling Femilis was, she could only pass on the information to Teresa.

『[Helpless] The captain has played two consecutive dungeons without Femiris. Does he not like Femiris? 』

"..."

No, will AI be jealous too?

This answer was completely beyond Teresa's expectations.

Teresa would not be surprised if another living person came.

It happens to be an AI...

Although the AIs in the collapsed world are all highly humanized products, almost without exception, people can't help but treat them as living people.

But as one thing, what about AI itself?

As a program, do they really have the cognition of 'self'?

Are they emotional?

Just when Teresa began to think deeply about this issue——

『[Down] Is the captain thinking about Femiris?Sure enough, you still don't like Fimilis, right? 』

Although she couldn't understand Teresa's complicated thoughts that couldn't form a specific dialogue; but Femilice clearly deciphered some of them, which were related to herself, so she seemed to be particularly concerned.

"Actually not." Interrupted by Fimilis, Teresa knew that she had just fallen into a vortex of suspicion.In fact, it is meaningless to think about this thing in essence. These lessons cannot be figured out by relying on her brain, so she no longer struggles with this matter: "The two dungeons will not take you, except that you feel that you are not suitable. (dream), and (gank by Shiyin)... In short, there are various reasons."

These words sounded particularly perfunctory, but Femilis did not analyze any deceit and concealment from the chaotic thoughts. At most, it could only be regarded as "explaining is too troublesome, so I am lazy to explain".

So I had to forgive her for the time being. (green font)

『[Doubt] Well, I will trust you for the time being. 』

"..."

What does it mean to say believe with a skeptical attitude?

Teresa doesn't know how to complain, Miss AI's special 'emotional particle'.

『[Looking forward] Then, can you take Fimilis with you this time? 』

"Well..."

It's okay to ask Teresa to agree, but she doesn't want to be the kind of person who breaks promises, so she hesitates when answering.

『[Definitely] The captain really hates Fimilis! 』

The blond female ghost floated back a little distance, as if she was about to leave Theresa.

Seeing that she was leaving...Although she knew that the other party would not be able to leave the house, it was likely that she would no longer care about Theresa in the future.

Teresa had no choice but to promise her: "Okay, can't I promise you?"

"[Unbelief] The captain's mouth, a deceitful ghost.Is it so easy to be fooled by thinking that Fimilis is an AI? 』

"Then what are you going to do?"

indeed.

It seems that apart from verbal coping, Fimilis can't force Teresa to do anything.In addition, they still have a master-servant relationship-with Teresa as the main one.

Even if Teresa regretted it afterwards, she couldn't do anything about it.

But Femilis quickly made up her mind, a plot that Teresa couldn't evade.

"[Surveillance] That's it, today Femiris will enter the dungeon with the captain. 』

"Huh? Today?"

『【Changed】Now! 』

"I've only been back for a day and I'm going?"

『【Examination】So the captain is really a person who doesn't talk too much?Are you unwilling to agree to such a small request? 』

"..."

This is difficult for the strong!

Teresa suddenly felt that this day could not be passed.

Who can stand the fire in the harem every day?

243 "Joachim"

The winter in Berlin is sometimes even colder than the northern part of China. Even if you wrap your body like a bear, it still can't stop the cold wind from getting in through the gaps between the clothes.

However, in this cold weather, when there are few pedestrians walking around, Joachim, who is only 11 years old and will be 12 years old after the New Year, has to go to and from school alone. (Note)

My mother is a busy person who only has a few days off every year, and my father is also a researcher far away in Greenwich.Although it is not so busy in comparison, there is not much time to take care of the children.

He had to be fostered at his grandmother's house in Berlin.

When he grows up and has a little bit of independent ability, let him transfer to Greenwich to go to school, so that he can have more opportunities to meet his father.

Of course, Joachim was not without complaints.But being born in such a family, the only thing he can do is to tolerate and understand.

If even he doesn't recognize his family, then those two are too lonely.

So even though I have to go to and from school alone in the cold weather, and I have to help take care of my grandmother who can't get out of bed after returning home... By the way, didn't it be agreed that he was the one to be taken care of?

......

that's it.

While walking on the way home, the child is still thinking about the homework learned today, so that he can complete the homework in the shortest time after returning home.

But when passing by a toy store, he couldn't help but stop.

He was deeply attracted by the assembled robot toys.

No way, boys of this age like this kind of stuff, and those who like teddy bears and even BJD dolls are a few, or even out of gregarious.

But unfortunately -

Even though he was born in a family where his parents were high-level talents, Joachim's pocket money was still pitiful. It was impossible to buy things without spending a lot of time accumulating.

In the eyes of other people, this toy can be bought with a gritted teeth, but to Joachim, it is as huge as an astronomical figure.

So he can only look at it for now.

And in this age when customers are not regarded as gods, children like this who have no money and will not ask their parents are to some extent the most unpleasant customers.

Because it is possible that if you do not pay attention, the legs of a certain toy will be dismantled by these children, but the other party cannot afford to pay.

What are you going to do at this time?Or what can you do?

Arrest him and hand him over to the police?For vandalism?Are toys public property?

Stop making trouble, they don't bother to care about these trivial matters.

So usually at this time, the store manager will directly drive away the children who are watching, and even beat and scold them.

however--

Joachim's hands and feet were almost frozen when he stood outside, and the 'store manager' inside still didn't come out to drive him away, as if he thought it was safe enough through a layer of transparent glass.

Until later, Joachim could not stand the cold anymore.

Between 'going home now and getting a serious illness' and 'going into the toy store to warm up before leaving', Joachim chose the latter that could barely satisfy his desire.

He cautiously and slowly pushed open the glass door, and gently, lightly, and lightly again, closing the door so lightly that he almost could not hear the sound of closing the door.Only then did he tiptoe like an agent performing an infiltration mission, using the container as a cover to approach the main hall step by step.

But soon he was daring and walking around.

Because he found that there was no one in this warm toy store filled with bright lights in every corner.He guessed that the store manager might have gone out to buy goods, and he forgot to lock the door and turn off the electric switch.

Is this possible?How sloppy does it take to do it?

However, based on a premise, it made Joachim judge that the store manager should not come back in a short time, so at least he has more time to stay here. (Grandma: Bastard, have you forgotten me?)

of course.

On the premise of not breaking the toy, he can enjoy a little hand addiction.

Just out of caution, and in order not to leave any excuses, Joachim endured his desire and let himself just watch from the side instead of touching or damaging it at will.

And as time passed, Joachim also began to feel bored. It seemed that the things he once liked so much were not so interesting.

That's right, how can it be interesting to just watch it instead of playing it with your own hands?

This is not the era of the near future, and Joachim can't be a cloud player.

In addition, it was already a bit late, so Joachim decided to go home after another look, otherwise, even if he made a better excuse, he would still be beaten and scolded by his grandmother if it was too late.
