Chapter 9 – 009 Slave Worker
“I’ll do you a favor, Sonia. Don’t worry. I ‘mostly’ do the piloting. Leave it to me to take care of the floating drone.”
Peko tells Sonia that she has been manipulating slave workers and that she is confident this time as well.
Dizzy from the external shock she had received to protect Sonia from the drone’s self-destruction… And, in addition to that, it was also shiny. Instead of confused Millie,
Peko bowed her head while saying that she asked for this because she would not move unless another slave worker unit entered the walker.
“I’m fine with just being inside, so I’ll ask you. I’m running out of time!”
“I… I’ll help you if you don’t mind. Mr. Peko!”
If it wasn’t for Millie’s help in the first place, he might have been hospitalized, and before that, as a Sky City citizen like Slave Walker’s unit Milli and Walker pilot Peco,
This time, Sonia decided to be brave for Sky City.
“…Thank you so much Sonia. I know it’s not an easy decision and it’s an unreasonable request…But I promise I’ll do my best.”
Taking Sonia who answered confidently into her Slave Worker Unit…Captain Peko who helps Sonia get inside by reopening the Slave Worker that took Millie out.
She trembles slightly at the fact that even now she is entering a combat walker, a slave walker, a four-legged walking weapon the size of a car.
While barely calming her heart like that. I don’t know what will happen, but I believe in Peko’s words that you can just stay still…
(Something like extra rewards for extra performance… Yo… Hehe…)
To save the citizens of Sky City…Sonia, the D-class hero of Sky City, enters Slave Worker with various thoughts.
“Then would you stand on the scaffold over there and wait?
I’m going to run a simple registration process now, so please follow the instructions. Then I’ll close the walker door.”
“Ah… I see…!”
An empty space with nothing special inside.
Please stand here. Even at the seat marked with the same red tape, there was enough room for Sonia to slightly open her arms wide.
When Peko closed the side of the Slave Walker, a quadrupedal walking weapon made for combat, the inside of the Slave Walker was not completely dark, but rather dark like an underground tunnel and filled with red lights.
(It’s like a movie theater…)
Thump. Don’t be nervous, Peko will start by knocking on the side of the slave walker outside. After a while, a synthesized electronic sound came from a speaker that seemed to be built into the walker.
Sonia, who is experiencing this for the first time, is nervous about standing inside a slave worker, but calmly concentrates on the sound she hears.
[Start the temporary slave worker unit registration process. Slave data initialization… Please take off all the clothes worn by the slaves to be registered as units of this battle walker.]
“…Eh? Slave…? Do I have to take off my clothes?”
[Sheath for combat walker unit…Detection failed…Redetecting…Failed. Failed to recognize the outfit for the slave worker. If it is not the regulation attire, please remove the clothing you are wearing.]
Sonia reflexively responded to the voice prompting her to take off her clothes, but Skysee’s hero was even more surprised when the answer came back.
Sonia wasn’t sure whether it was a recording that automatically pops up in response to an expected error or a high-performance artificial intelligence that thinks like a human, but soon realizes that it’s just a simple pattern recording.
Come to think of it, if he had a high-performance artificial intelligence like a human, he would have received an android body and been doing other things.
[Remove the outfit worn by the slave worker unit.]
“Ah…Okay…It’s all about Sky City…It’s for my sake…And no one’s watching, so it’s not embarrassing… Not too embarrassing. It’s not even…!”
When she heard the word “Slave initialization,” Sonia thought it was probably Millie’s settings that had just been boarded as a unit on this slave worker.
Sonia slowly starts putting her blouses on the floor one by one, reassuring herself that this is her own personal achievement and that it is unavoidable for the citizens of her Sky City.
(Is this what it looks like…?)
Could it be that she is wearing the same body suit that Millie was wearing…? While thinking, Sonia put her black underwear down on the floor.
So naturally, the robot arm protrudes from behind where Sonia is standing and puts her clothes into the storage bin like putting her laundry into the washing machine.
[Please do not move and relax. The process is fast.]
“Ugh…What’s going on…Ahh…! How cold…!”
Sonia waits at the marked spot on the floor according to the guidance voice.
Slowly, as Sonia added to the robot arm that removed her own clothes, the robot arm protruding from the inside of her slave walker immobilized her from her neck to her wrists, ankles and waist.
It was a strange process of putting rings on her neck, wrists and ankles that I don’t know exactly, but which seemed to be made of metal.
Click! The metal rings that made a noise tightened around Sonia’s neck, around her wrists and ankles, then locked.
“It doesn’t hurt… But… It’s embarrassing…”
I listened to Peko’s words that I could just stand still, and that I could control it myself, so I went in, but of course, I’m sure there’s nothing to do if I just stand there…
Well, I thought it was sitting somewhere and pressing a button, or meeting the conditions for recognizing that someone was inside, so I didn’t scream or run away, but what was embarrassing was the blonde’s big breasts. But Sonia has no clothes on.
It’s a little different from what I thought, but it was Sonia who didn’t think she would just stand still, so Sonia went inside the slave worker and continued to stand in the designated position.
It wasn’t panicking, but before Sonia panicked, the robot arm quickly took out a piece of paper the size of a card from a container that contained items like a pre-programmed procedure and rubbed it right away to remove a sticker the size of a coin.
A square sticker the size of a finger joint.
Numerous extremely fine needles on the sticky adhesive side. Of course, it was invisible to Sonia’s eyes, but the sticker seemed to have a special effect or role after something adhered to her skin.
[Attach the management sticker to the slave.]
“Uh…Uhh…Hey…?!
Mr. Peko? Is this okay…?”
I don’t know what’s going on, but she naturally tries to press her sticker to her forehead. Sonia hesitates and backs away from her in embarrassment at the approaching robot arm.
Of course, it was Sky City’s hero Sonia who couldn’t move because other robot arms were holding on to Sonia’s ankles, waist, wrists and neck with metal rings.
Of course, if she struggles too much, her robot arm may slightly bend and escape, but if it does, it will just break it, so Sonia calls Peko rather than resisting.
-Oh that? It’s a sticker, but it’s a temporary registration, so don’t worry. Sonia. You can get out of here and then take it off. Um… How to say. Think of it as free skin care. Right? Millie was fine. So, please, Sonia.
“Ah… I see…
…By the way…Skin care?”
Peko reassures Sonia by knocking on the side of the walker again at the sound of her calling herself, expressing her intention as if she were here.
In fact, without this slave walker, thanks to the drones floating around, she is in a situation where she can’t go anywhere even if she wants to go, but Sonia calmly fixes her breathing as much as possible while loosening her strength at Peko’s guidance.
[Check the attachment of the slave management sticker.]
Kwuuuuu…Pat!
A robot arm that presses her forehead in front of her while patting the back of Sonia’s head as if to make sure the square transparent sticker adheres well to Sonia’s forehead.
It didn’t just feel like sticky glue, but it felt like it had been dropped on the sandy beach once, but at first it felt like the sticker was sticking to Sonia’s forehead, and the tiny needles protruding from the sticky part of the sticker.
Slap!
The robot arm taps its forehead once to check whether the sticker is sticking well, just like a nurse who gave an injection taps the buttock.
“Ah… Uhhhhh…My forehead is stinging…Thinning…Hm…Uh…The robot arm hit me too hard…”
Chijit…Jichit…Chijik…
Sonia can’t feel it, but the tiny needles stuck to her forehead press her forehead, sending small vibrations to her skull that are hard to feel.
Although it was very small, it made a ‘cue yeeeee))) sound was heard, but Sonia’s heartbeat, not knowing why it was pounding more in this situation, drowned out her sound as if it were all buried.
Of course, even if he noticed the cueing sound or minute vibrations ringing in his forehead in real time, nothing would have changed much… Conversely, Sky City’s hero, who was visibly shaking, slowly regained his composure as if he had calmed down. Sonia.
