I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

In this world where the weak are preyed upon by the strong, the weak will naturally admire the strong and follow behind the strong. Only in this way can they have a greater possibility of surviving.

For the previous five years, that man had been Rick.

And five years later, will there be any changes because of Cheng's arrival?

Kelong, who stumbled out of the kitchen, ran towards Rick's room after ignoring Cheng Rang's urgency behind him.

She wanted to share this feeling with her brother, and wanted to ask him what he should do.

My own thinking can no longer be called reliable, but if it is Rick, he must be able to calmly tell himself the answer...

Then Crone pushed open the door, and saw Shubi who straddled Rick's waist in a very ambiguous posture...

"Ouch~~! Riding position~~!"

Such a picture made Kelong, who was already in a mess in his mind, howl subconsciously, and raised his hand to cover his cheek.

"——Oops! I'm sorry...sister, come here now

It’s so inconsiderate... Just enjoy it slowly~"

boom!

Then with the sound of hurriedly leaving footsteps, the door was also closed.

Chapter 21 Favorite plot?

......What's wrong?

Awakened by the movement at the door, Rick struggled to open his heavy eyelids in a haze.

"..."

"..."

Among the blankets, Hubie was clinging to Rick, watching him, and Rick's eyes met hers.

"Why are you sitting on me, can you please explain?"

How many hours pass after falling asleep, no, it doesn't matter how many hours.

Previously, there was still a dialogue about whether to kill or not to kill, but now it is like this, what is this guy trying to do——

"...Rick said, don't get out of...sight...but Rick closed his eyes...."

At this time, she seemed to be boasting and said: "You can't leave the sight range, the implication... presumably is within the range of cognition."

She seemed quite confident in her judgment.

I vaguely feel that her expression seems to be advocating "I understand the abstract intention of human beings, praise me".

Rick frowned and replied, "I just mean don't leave this room, so you understand?"

"...unintelligible."

Hubby's eyes were wide open without blinking, and he answered quietly.

"...Close your eyes, and the designated one does not leave the line of sight, it cannot be replaced...."

Perhaps it was quite unacceptable, Shubi tilted her head in doubt, and then Kelong's voice sounded again.

"Ah, that's right! That~ I'm sorry to bother you while I was running errands..."

"We're not doing anything, why are you looking for me?"

"Ah, that's it. I think it's better for the two of you to take a bath first! Especially Shubi-chan must have encountered a lot of things, or let my sister wash your body for you~?"

Hearing her words, Rick winked at Hubie.

——You have to cooperate with me this time!

Maybe it was because Rick's intentions were communicated to her this time, but Shubi nodded vigorously, and then replied: "Rick said...except for Rick...Huby can't let others see her body... ..."

Sure enough, he should have been killed at that time, right?

Rick felt that his consciousness was moving away from his body, but a voice with a hippie smile replied:

"Oh, really~ Does it mean that the training has been completed? I didn't expect my brother to move so fast!"

"Kron, please spare me...you should shut up..."

"Then I'll leave Shubi-chan to you, now is a good opportunity!"

"Don't mess around with your hands."

Rick reminded again, only to see Crone stretch out his hand, make a circle with his left hand, pass the fingers of his right hand, and then run away like a typhoon.

All that was left was Rick feeling intensely fatigued, and Hubby on top of him.

"Is it almost time for you to back off?"

"Um...."

Hubby got off his body, and Rick thought: It's useless to say anything.

Now he is a lolicon, and he is a man who trained refugees who survived the war. This impression has been confirmed.

But it was better than being found out that he had colonized Ex-machinas with energy.

.......

Throw the burning red stone into a cauldron filled with water.

In an instant, the steam rising from the bathroom filled the room.The principle of this bathroom is to use the steam to force sweat to wash away the dirt on the body, and finally pour cold water to refresh the body.

But since Hubie doesn't have a perspiration function, Rick uses rags and warm water from a cauldron to clean out the dirt and dust for her mechanical parts.

Looking at it again up close, Rick couldn't help but marvel at her precision and complexity.

He has also seen several kinds of goblin props that are used by elves in a mechanical way, but the mechanical part exposed by Shubi, Rick can't even guess its function.

"...Rick is, a mechanical enthusiast?"

"So high-level machinery, why do you always say this kind of knowledge that deviates from factual speculation and deviation..."

Rick's tone seemed to be defeated by her, and Hubie replied as if justifying: "Human thinking...because of the relationship between the heart...unpredictable...the singularity of calculation... "

Then there was silence between each other, only the sound of water droplets could be heard.

Perhaps wanting to break the silence, Hubby suddenly said, "Rick, let's play a game..."

"In the bathroom? Why?"

"...because... 'boring'?"

Seeing Shubi use interrogative sentences to explain concepts she obviously doesn't understand, Rick replied with a wry smile: "That's good, but it's forbidden to use elves, the game board——"

As if predicting that this would happen.

Or maybe that's what she planned to do from the start.

Huby took out the chessboard hidden in the robe that she took off.

At this, Rick sighed: "Hey... okay. It's just that I will wash your hair for you, so there is no limit to the thinking time."

Subtle sounds of falling pieces began to sound on the chessboard

.

And Cheng Rang, who was naked and curled up in the corner of the bathroom, suddenly broke into here and started playing chess, but he didn't realize that his behavior was one person, one machine.

"Was it on purpose, you two?" said the voice.

"Wow!"

Rick, who was engrossed in the chess game, was taken aback by another voice appearing in the bathroom, and immediately got up to cover Hubie behind him.

Huby in this state can never be discovered by others, and Rick, who acted on the premise of this, reflected on his careless behavior.

Just waking up from exhaustion with his exhausted body, Rick, who believed that Crone would empty the bathroom ahead of time, did not check to see if there was anyone else here.

But Ke Long was also absent-minded at the time...

As I said a long time ago, Cheng Rang is a person who likes to take a hot bath to relax after a long journey or a busy day, so there is nothing wrong with appearing in the bathroom.

If you want to blame it, blame the light here is too dark, after all, it is a place dug out of a fully enclosed cave.

Rick's heart was beating violently like an engine, until Cheng Rang's figure came out of the darkness with a helpless expression on his face.

"Cheng, you scared me...why are you here?"

Seeing that the person who appeared was an insider, Rick felt relieved and heaved a sigh of relief.

"I should be the one who asked this question... You are obviously sleeping, why did I see you two come in at the same time when I used the bathroom first?" Cheng Rang felt a little uncomfortable under Shubi's direct gaze Covering his lower body, "And Hubie, can you stop staring at me? It's impolite."

"...I can't understand that human beings' sense of shame should only be generated when they treat their own race. Shubi is a machine...not even a creature..."

"Sorry, your cute cheeks make it impossible for me to ignore the fact that you are a girl in my knowledge."

"...Huby, there is no gender.... Although the appearance of the body is... young women..."

Cheng Rang seemed to think that there was no point in arguing with Shubi, so he changed the subject, "Let's change the subject... Ex-Machines have so much knowledge, why do they need someone to help them take a bath?"

Such a strange gaze was drawn to Rick again, making him feel numb all over.

"You lolicon want to do this?"

"no!"

Chapter 22 Three people wash, I must be wet

Cheng Rang, who simply put on some clothes, was sitting cross-legged behind Shubi and washing her long hair.

"What...the reason why you can't perform the self-purification procedure without elves..."

"...Huby, I'm not lying...."

While answering like this, the girl moved the pieces on the chessboard.

According to Shuby, she has waterproof, dustproof, freezeproof, fireproof, bulletproof, explosionproof, magicproof, and elf...in short, it is a body without antifouling function.

It sounds weird, but Cheng Rang didn't know where to complain for a while.

But what makes up for this is that elves can be used to purify themselves, but due to Rick's restrictions, elves cannot be used in human settlements.

So Hubby asks Rick for help because he has never showered without a self-cleaning device and can't get to the finer points.

Although Rick has always said that he refused, but...

"...Inference, the most likely reason for Rick's refusal to bathe with Hubby is the sexual aspect of his youthful appearance—"

"Okay, there's no need to continue." Cheng Rang immediately raised his hand to make Shubi stop the follow-up explanation, expressing that he had understood the situation.

"It's impossible to win a reasoned debate with a machine..." Rick, who was sitting on the opposite side of the chessboard, scratched his hair and said with a wry smile: "So even if I didn't find out, Hubby would definitely know that there is something wrong here." Everyone else, why act like nothing happened?"

"...Cheng, is an insider, Rick said that there is no need to take it into consideration..."

"That can't be treated as if I don't exist! It's a matter of politeness!" Cheng Rang raised his fingers and tapped Shubi's head.

"....polite?"

Hubby seemed to be thinking, and after a few seconds of stagnation, he turned back to Cheng Rang and said slowly:

"....You're welcome...."

"... Alas, it seems that there is still a lot to learn." Cheng Rang laughed, scooped up a ladle of water and poured it on Shubi's head, "For those who have helped you, you must Say 'thank you'."

"Understood...thank you..." Hubby nodded softly, then looked at Rick—

"....sorry."

Seeing Cheng Rang's curious gaze, although Rick knew why she apologized to him at this time, Rick also had a sense of self-loathing, so he deliberately pretended to be stupid:

"What is it?"

"...After that, I carefully investigated the information..."

Hubie, who couldn't understand that subtle emotion, was telling her introspection.

"...the assailant asks the victim 'heart'...that is unreasonable, so no reasonable information can be obtained..."

The assailant and the victim—the machine was talking like that, which surprised Rick.

Although Cheng Rang, who was observing, did not know that the two of them had
