Chapter 76 – Episode 76. Give Me My Baby
“Replacing…”
“Hmm.”
Day 5. No, my child didn’t speak for about 10 days, and today the message has changed.
‘Updating! Please wait a moment ⁰▿⁰ ‘
In the words of a simple replacement.
But replace it substitute. Change?
It’s a very unpleasant feeling.
So as soon as I got home, I was rolling my head looking at this blue window by myself.
You change? What?
What how
What is the biggest difference between update and replacement?
Talk tok-
Improvements and changes. Maintenance and replacement. Return and exchange.
The fingers tapping the table are getting more and more nervous.
What. As you like.
It’s mine
Cooling my annoyed head, I stared through the window.
Emotionally today. Come back today
There is no basis, but according to the conviction felt by the senses of the whole body, Odokani sits in the house.
“Completion.”
“Ah.”
Finally.
“Where do you stay outside for so long? Sasha.”
I smiled involuntarily and looked at the unfolding blue window. By the way.
“Replacement complete.
Owner’s explanation required for system replacement.
… Error.
Looking for a solution… √
The system invites its owner to come into the world of images.
If you accept, the owner will go into sleep…”
Listing the fucking pseudo-like characters and trying to grow up watching me.
“What.”
Naturally, my hands splatter with annoyance.
Although it glows the same blue. Different.
It’s funny to say it, but it’s dead without any vitality that was felt from the shining spear.
No, I have no sense that the person I am talking to is alive. Before that, the other side was like a human, but now it’s really like a learned artificial intelligence program.
A questionable phrase to go to sleep.
“Her.”
I closed my eyes.
Am I so stupid
…What can I do?
If my child leaves the house, I will have to come to him.
Food-
You fell behind
*
When I closed my eyes and opened them, I was standing in a pure white space with nothing.
“Fuck…”
Knowing that I was behind, I was stunned for a moment.
When I close my eyes, I see something in the distance.
“…”
The place we arrived at, trudging along.
An old throne with a rusty crown dangling from the end.
No, to call it a throne, there was a golden throne that was closer to a relic.
‘Abandoned.’
Suddenly, a voice in my head corrects my thoughts.
As I approached and swept it away, my hands were covered in dust.
“What is this?”
“Are you here?”
I turned my head at the clear voice behind me.
There, a black-haired beauty with her head bowed with a respectful expression faced me with her eyes closed.
So beautiful, so perfect.
“Who are you.”
“It is a system.”
After answering lightly, she raises her head.
“Will you allow me to make the table?”
“I?”
Nodding her head, she opens her arms as if introducing.
“Yeah. This place.”
It’s Shia-sama’s world of imagination.
Desolate. The wind blows with nothing lying around.
This is my mental world.
*
As she nodded with a confused expression, a table and chair rose in the air.
At the same time, the wind blowing around subsides, and even ornaments appear on one side of the table.
“You are delicate.”
Looking at the teacup and kettle on the table, she nods her head.
“Did I do it?”
“Exactly, it was what I requested and Xia-nim allowed it. And the direction in which it takes place is quite different.”
So what did you do…?
With me in front of me with a mysterious expression, she picks up her teapot and explains as she slowly pours her tea.
“My request is simple. I requested a table from Xia, who is not familiar with imagery, shaped the image and delivered it, and Xia-nim, who allowed it, implemented it.
Someone really thinks of a desk, someone thinks of a chair, and someone naturally thinks of a drink they will drink.
Tables only, or more context. Some people even open a cafe.
It’s not good or bad, it’s a characteristic of each person.
And.”
She smiles as she sits in her seat.
It’s not common for people to even think about where I’m going to sit.
Thank you
She lowers her head lightly and smiles at the stuffed toy on one side of her table.
“These are the people here.”
“…Is it because the things you can see with your eyes closed are like the spirit world?”
“Similar.”
At the end of the table the two of us looked at, there were five dolls the size of my hand.
3 black hair, 1 brown hair, 1 blonde hair. Oh
Seeing that, I said a little.
“These are our children.”
“Yeah.”
You seem to be very much loved by Shia.
After her words, she raises her teacup and sips her tea.
No frills attitude. Elegant and neat
No, rather than that, it’s ‘perfect.’
I naturally exclaim, but something is uncomfortable.
Rather than being drank by a beautiful human being, it embodied its appearance.
It’s a program-like attitude that falls perfectly without a single error.
She is too beautiful, too perfect.
That’s why, it’s not like a person.
No, he is ‘playing’ it after figuring out what is ‘beautiful’.
“You don’t like it.”
She looks around herself as if she doesn’t understand ‘it’ that looked around her.
“Where is the system?”
“Here it is. Shia-sama.”
“Don’t be like you, bring my child.”
Tarararak-
Nervously knocked on the table.
“Am I lacking?”
An attitude of sincere curiosity.
I shook my head at that and said it again.
“Bring my child.”
“I don’t understand. I must be a more useful and more perfect tool than the existing child.”
As in the movie, the android faces a situation that it does not understand and puts on a look as if it is learning.
“Unlike the existing children, I, completely specialized for Xia-nim, will not disappoint Xia-nim even for a moment. Even though it’s completely a tool just for Shia-sama?”
Crying-
“No tools needed.”
“The system is a tool. And the existing child was found to be seriously flawed and caused inconvenience to the owner, so he was replaced by me, a more perfect tool, and came to serve the owner.”
“Flaw?”
“Yeah.”
Nodding her head, she sips her tea again. In such a perfect shape. That unpleasant gap causes anger.
“Don’t act like a human.”
“Don’t you want that?”
Then, it completely erased even the remaining expression and slowly opened its mouth.
“Defects found in System-5226, replaced with System-4825. The new system guides owners through the handover process.”
A strange harmony between me with a hardened face and that expressionless face.
I watched in silence, wondering how far this shit would go on.
“Every year, our systems come together and do some kind of algorithmic exchange.”
“Yeah, he said he went to a meeting.”
“Under.”
It was the first expression of emotion I saw when I came here. Her expression was full of contempt.
“It’s a meeting. It’s not worth it. Such human remarks are the problem.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Room 5226 is-“
“Express it like before.”
“The existing child was too ‘human’. Uncharacteristically for the system, the child was ‘excited’ and ‘delighted’ to us, and she expressed ‘delighted’ to her master. To be cheeky.”
“Is that a problem?”
“Yeah.”
She nods her head as she puts on her look of course.
“The system is a tool for the owner, you dare not get the wrong idea. Carl doesn’t feel emotions. Tools are utilized. The system is not human.”
Clear answer.
“Flaw-“
A guttural laugh escapes from your mouth.
For that reason. Take mine away
Our kid
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
Fire slowly rises from the body.
Like a machine, it didn’t notice and continued to report.
“We found serious flaws and errors in the system, and we had to fix them, even against the wishes of the owners.”
“Ha…You must have known I wouldn’t like it, right?”
“Yeah.”
Tables and chairs turned to sand and were blown away by the wind.
It stands up silently and looks up at me.
“I heard something before. The system belongs entirely to its owner.”
“Yes, that is correct-“
“Then come back. I will choose the defective one.”
“No.”
“Who?”
“…”
“Bring it.”
A sandstorm starts blowing around me again.
I blinked my eyes…
“I never let go of what I put in my hands. Whoever it is.”
“It’s not ‘who’.”
“That is decided by me. You may choose him or not.”
Whiing-
With its hair blowing in the wind, it answered calmly.
“Nothing like this will change anything.”
“There’s something different about being cheeky.”
Wheeeee-
Whiiing—!
Standing in the eyes of the typhoon in the wind that I couldn’t control my body, I smiled. It was annoying from before. Her self-proclaimed perfect flaw is her only flaw. Who’s teasing like that?
“Open your eyes.”
“No!”
The first violent reaction. Could it be something like an ’emergency alarm’?
I smiled and ordered again.
“Open your eyes.”
“No, no. Impossible. Owner’s order, error, dismissal of impossible circumstances-“
Thud-!
“Eye.”
Kwajik!
Open up
Flash-
The system’s eyes flashed open with the sound of something splitting and cracking.
Blue light emanating from it.
The wind that surrounds me grows stronger, and the light from the system blends into the wind. Inside, the system desperately cries out to me.
“I, I am a more perfect tool!”
It reaches out to me and puts my hand on its chest. It’s warm like a person, and my heart beats.
“I am the embodiment of the perfect body, perfect attitude, and perfect companion that the owner wanted! Rather than those defective products-“
“Put it away.”
When I clap my hands, he still looks like he doesn’t understand.
“Why don’t you like me? Even though I am the embodiment of the owner’s desire? Why is it so full of flaws-“
Kuh-
You look a bit like a person now.
Desperate, she shouts at me.
“I, I can explain everything! Aren’t you curious what the system is? Who is Xia, what kind of existence is Xia! The most perfect tool for that is right-! That defective product is-!”
“You don’t have to hear that.”
The blue light leaking from his eyes envelops his entire body and asks me as if he is out of order even as he is being sucked in.
“Why why why? Why? Error. A serious error has occurred in the system. Algorithm collapse. Collapse. Urgent fix. Not chosen by the owner. Refusal. System. Error. Question.”
‘Why?’
Seeing those eyes, I raised my middle finger.
“My kids are prettier.”
Flash-!
At that moment, a storm raged through the sky and everything disappeared.
I was left alone again in a desolate field, but I knew what I had to pay.
According to instinct.
“I thought it was mine.”
Give it up.
Thud-!
He lifted his foot, slammed it down on the floor, and stepped on the advance.
Kwajik-
Kwajijijik—!
The world breaks apart around my feet.
Awesome-
Damn—!
There was a crack in the air, and soon, it split.
Yet.
Jiing-
A transparent circle appears in the air.
“Uh?”
And from there, a person falls down.
Width-
I accepted her lightly and looked at her with a smile.
Quite different from what I thought.
Maybe similar to what I thought.
So I like it
So chosen.
Her blue-haired ‘her her’ is staring at me with wide eyes as she cradles me in her arms.
“Poetry, Shia-sama?”
“Yes.”
“Uh, how?”
Laughter bursts out at the naive figure who blinks his eyes as if trying to understand the situation while being held in my arms.
Yes this is my system
He put her down slowly and brushed off her clothes.
She’s still parenting uh, how? He looks up at me.
After brushing off the dust from her hair, I sniffed again.
“I thought you were mine.”
“To? To?”
“I can’t go anywhere.”
I rubbed my cheek as I held her tightly in her arms.
Even though it is sandy and rough, its vitality is extremely human.
“No, really how?”
She looks at the place where she fell and me alternately and hugs me awkwardly.
“Gee, is it real? I, am I dreaming now? Am I really crazy?”
“It is not a dream.”
“That- Ayaya-“
When I stretched out my cheeks, I let out a pained sound.
“Gee, is it real?”
“Of course.”
“Mi, I believed you!”
As if he understood the situation, he jumped up and jumped and hugged me.
Gently supporting her hips and patting her, she chugged down with an excited expression, then turned around and grinned.
I laughed heartily at the playfulness and opened my mouth.
Uh- this bastard.
“Hey.”
“Yeah! Shia-sama!”
I slammed the head of the supporter who was running up to me with a smiley expression.
“Feel?!”
I grinned at her face, which was making a sad expression.
“You are not a woman. Inyanah.”
“Haha.”
Haha.”
“Haha.”
“Ha…Hah…Heh-“
Me and her laughed at the same time.
Then.
“This bastard.”
“Save me! The owner here assaults the system!!!”
