Chapter 414 – Convergence (9)
When kids appear in front of me, I prefer fist-sized SD characters.
Even as all the AI counselors acquired mature bodies one by one, Kids remained the same.
So I asked her once.
“I’ve been wondering for a while, why do you always take on SD?”
[It’s cute.]
It was an immediate answer.
The upside-down V pose with your fingers close to your eyes is cute.
“Aren’t the other counselors interested in becoming SD? I think everyone will get along well.”
In particular, the destructive power of cuteness will be tremendous for Rose and Artemis due to their differences from their usual appearances.
[Nothing strange. Rose and Chrollo are more mature than cute. In other words, you want to appeal as a ‘woman’. I would be happy if the manager complimented me on how cute I was, but wouldn’t I be happier if someone looked at me with lustful eyes?]
“What about Artemis?”
[Uh huh! I wouldn’t dare guess his tastes.]
“It’s okay, just tell me. I will allow it.”
[Hmm… Isn’t the SD too small to contain the nobility and benevolence of Artemis?]
Kids spoke carefully.
[Deformation is not about expressing things as they are, but about transforming and distorting them. Wouldn’t that in itself be blasphemy that undermines His complete integrity?]
From then on, Kids insisted on the SD body type.
As the shelter opened, the number of encounters with outsiders increased, but this did not change.
Lee In-ha: Even though he is the kid of all people, I thought he might be looked down on for his small and cute SD figure, but I was worried for no reason.
She did her job perfectly by influencing people.
No, it seems like it’s not just about controlling it, it’s even creating fear.
Because people are much more nervous when dealing with Kids than when dealing with Rose or her security forces.
And today I was able to get a proper glimpse of that part.
When I entered the broadcasting station in a spirit form with Artemis, there was a small commotion.
“It’s a nude photo shoot location.”
Where Artemis pointed, a woman with an innocent look was standing awkwardly on a gorgeous carpet.
“Is this a fairly well-known model?”
She was wearing a swimsuit made of translucent material the size of her newborn’s palm.
In erotic terms, it’s not much different from being naked, but in any case, it’s not completely naked. It seems that she was a woman of high value before the war.
-They say that if everyone exposes their naked bodies, the marketability drops. Celebrities should go for a luxury strategy. I will slowly peel it off like Usain Bolt breaking records little by little.
Kids were treated differently in these areas.
She said, “When I looked up her interview record, I saw that she was a pretty promising idol. Although she only has a minor role, she is a popular person who appears in movies and has won quite a few commercials. They say she would have appeared in Vogue if it weren’t for the infection war.”
“I don’t know. “I’m not interested in that at all.”
In front of the model is a middle-aged man sweating profusely.
“He’s the head of a famous studio before the war. She is a tycoon who rose from the bottom to CEO with just a camera. Everyone recognizes her skills, so it looks like Kiz recruited her.”
“As expected of a master of all things.”
“Is that kind of praise okay? “You can barely use the title of sacred doctor in a magazine like this.”
Around the middle-aged man, a fist-sized fairy is circling like a satellite.
Needless to say, it’s kids.
The naked female model, the sweating middle-aged man, and the staff with downcast eyes, everyone is watching the little fairy.
[Huh? Huh?]
People’s shoulders shrugged at the lively exclamation.
[Didn’t you say that touching a sacred model is absolutely prohibited?]
Her kids fly to the side of her female model and assume a supporting position.
[This person is like a saint who burns herself to become the light and salt of men all over the world. She deserves to be treated with courtesy, tsk tsk!]
“Sorry! I’ve known him since I was a trainee, so I was happy to meet him…”
A man who would have been a proud figure in high society just six years ago was now as stiff as a new soldier.
The body is already in an alert position.
“It’s not finished yet.”
Look at that knife-like angle. It seems that the instinctive sense of crisis brought back memories of formal training from decades ago.
[You said it because you were happy to see me? That’s really strange. If you’re an acquaintance you haven’t seen in a while, don’t you usually shake hands? The culture of touching the buttocks out of pleasure was not found in any culture before the war.]
“Well, that’s it.”
Kids spun around right near her middle-aged man’s cheek.
The sight is similar to the pressure felt by U.S. Military instructors pushing their faces in front of trainees and yelling.
That’s why the middle-aged man, despite his desperately spinning eyeballs, was unable to defend himself and stuttered.
[Hey, as expected, the post-apocalyptic era is different no matter what! A new personnel culture has taken root without me even knowing it! As a broadcasting station director, I have to reflect on the fact that I fell behind the trend.]
Kids with his arms crossed closed his eyes and nodded repeatedly.
For your information, I currently do not see the world only through my own eyes.
Like Artemis, you can use the shelter’s sensing devices as if they were your own sense organs.
Of course, compared to her, she has many limitations, so I can only see my surroundings.
But that was enough.
“That guy, what’s his face?”
The way he speaks, and his deformed appearance remain the same as usual, but his facial expression is different.
The corner of the mouth was torn long, and triangular teeth, called shark teeth, neatly protruded from between them.
There is something eerie about him that makes him look like a bad boy.
“Well, hey, I’m really fine.”
A female model who was sexually harassed came forward to intervene.
It seems that it was because the atmosphere was too stifling, rather than specifically for the middle-aged man.
[…
But when Kiz stared at her, she swallowed her breath and closed her mouth.
“Hiccup!”
I even started having hiccups.
Kiz smiles brightly as if he had never done so before, and she walks around the middle-aged man again.
[I feel a sense of responsibility as someone who brings good news, joy, and warnings to people’s lives. I should try to be more sensitive to trends.]
“Oh no! “If it’s like Kids…”
[Uh? When did I say it was okay to call you by name? Are you my friend?]
The corners of her smiling mouth tear even more. If this continues, it is likely to reach below the ears. Her protruding teeth also seem to have become longer and sharper.
It’s a visual that won’t feel uncomfortable at all even if it appears as a tutorial fairy in a webtoon somewhere and makes people’s heads explode.
“So, broadcasting station manager…?”
[The broadcasting director is just a hobby. I would have told you that my honorable title was Life Manager. This guy is smarter than he looks.]
Other studios are still actively filming, but this one is quiet.
“Artemis.”
“Huh?”
“Kid, that guy is in front of people, so he’s doing that to control him, right?”
“It seems like he wants me to tell him that his personality isn’t like that.”
“…”
Artemis chuckled.
“Originally, women have different attitudes toward men they like and men they don’t like. For kids, the gap is quite large.”
“You probably haven’t found us yet, right?”
“Of course. So that’s why it’s happening.”
I held Artemis’ hand and quietly pointed outside the broadcasting station.
“Are you going to pretend you didn’t see anything?”
She smiled brightly.
“I think that would be a good idea.”
“That is a merciful judgment. If Kiz finds out that she showed her expression to you, that man’s future will be very bleak.”
“I wonder if this will take all the man’s worries away.”
This is Artemis, a self-proclaimed man-hater.
“Kids are that merciless. “He is scarier than he looks.”
“Anyway, I guess I’ll have to wait a bit and then go in.”
I carefully escaped so as not to be caught in Kids’ sensory zone.
* * *
About 30 minutes later, when I entered the broadcasting station, Kids came running out.
“Aaaaah! “I’m the manager!”
She probably wanted to show hospitality by taking off her shoes and showing off her bare feet.
That’s right. It’s not flying, it’s running along the floor.
Instead of the usual little fairy, she looked like a girl that reached up to my solar plexus.
A doll-like girl wearing old-fashioned clothes. But her sea-dark and deep eyes make her look like a little adult.
The sound of small feet hitting the ground was pleasant.
“Come here.”
I bent my knees halfway and spread my arms.
Come on!
Kids jumping up and down into my arms.
“Ehehehe!”
And then he smiles brightly.
A vivid voice as if heard through the vocal cords, rather than a voice heard through a speaker.
“The manager is warm.”
“Kids are so warm too.”
Perhaps due to her young appearance, her body temperature is higher than that of other women.
As I stood up, her two thin legs and arms hugged my torso tightly. It looks like a frog sticking together.
Sniff!
Kids openly smelled my chest and neck.
“Wow, it smells like a man!”
“Is it a compliment or a curse?”
If you say it smells like a widower, you will be hurt.
“Of course it’s a compliment! The manager smelled like this. “I think I’ll get drunk on this cocktail of testosterone, the smell of a brave soldier, and the taste of a sexy scientist.”
He rubs his soft cheek against my chest.
It’s like watching a puppy eating without hesitation with its face buried in a bowl full of food.
“Administrator! “Can I ask you a favor?”
“It’s not a request, just speak comfortably.”
“Please change it to a princess hug.”
“Like this?”
The woman in her arms was instantly thrown into the air.
“Kyahahaha!”
Kids floated happily, holding her hands together. It’s an image of faith that doesn’t even worry about me missing and falling to the ground.
Because of its small stature, it seemed as if it could easily be wrapped in the arms.
“It’s really nice to see. “I feel like I finished the homework I’ve been putting off for a long time.”
Artemis, who was observing with warm eyes from a little distance away, said.
The only four people in the world that she recognizes as part of her family.
Beyond the wall that not even the nymphs she gave a second life to, nor her favorite children Nina and Seyoung, can overcome.
The five of us, a community of destiny, bound from the beginning with different ties and abilities.
