Chapter 576 – Companionship
“… Helena said that if I just handed over the keys to Celie, she would be free after that. But wasn’t that going too far? Tell me to do something on my own… Helena also has an irresponsible side? Don’t you think so? “
Helena’s welcome as she complains to me.
… If I roughly summarize what she said.
By handing over the keys to us, she became free, but being thrown into this harsh world alone seemed like a burden.
But it looks like a trustworthy guy like me… No, a good person has appeared, so maybe I want to benefit from that.
“… Hmph! I have pride too? I have no intention of forcing myself to follow someone I don’t like?”
When Helena sees my lukewarm expression, she suddenly begins to show her pride.
She appeared to be in a moody mood, like an adolescent girl, but for some reason she looked quite different from the first time.
“… How do you plan on following us?”
The girl I saw now was an illusion. It can be said to be the artificial intelligence that manages this room.
Is there a way for her to get out?
“Don’t worry about that. Are you really going to ask me to resolve that? I have a conscience too? I’m not asking you to take me away without any preparation. In fact, Helena did the preparations. Helena prepared a body for me to get out of here. I left it. Please wait a moment!”
When I got the chance, her vision of Helena poured out her own words as if she had been waiting.
Helena created her body?
She’s doing that for management artificial intelligence?
The more I listen to Helena’s anecdote, the more aspects of her that are different from the image I had of her are revealed.
The title ‘Demon King’ doesn’t suit him… He seems to have quite the temperament of a pushover.
Or is there some insidious plot lurking that I don’t know about? .
In the center of the room, a large cylinder-like pillar rose from the floor. And the center of the cylinder slides open to the side.
There stood a naked woman with her eyes closed as if she were sleeping.
Smooth skin with a light blue color like Zephyrian.
Short hair that goes down to the neck and a beautiful face that looks a little arrogant.
The face is a face, but… The pink protrusion at the end of the pretty breasts and the small crack visible between the groin area caught my attention.
It’s the body of a woman I’ve been sick of seeing, but every time I see another female body, the emotion is different.
After all, people should do good things.
The vision of Helena next to her disappears and the naked woman opens her eyes.
“It’s my first time having a real body, so it’s a bit surprising.”
Helena’s vision is to look around and touch her own naked body without shame.
Although it looks like a human on the outside, the life force of an organism is not felt. It looked close to an android that the Zephyrians often exploit.
Zephyrians forbid creating androids that look exactly like them.
In addition, he even has personality.
In short, she is an illegal android.
Even so, she looks like an ordinary Zephyrian on the outside, and if Sunni exerts a little effort… Assuming she stays quiet, there would be little chance of her identity being discovered.
And since she had Helena’s memories, it seemed like she might be of some help to us.
“Hey… Don’t you have any clothes to wear? Wouldn’t it be a little flashy to walk around like this?”
It won’t just stand out.
I looked through her inventory for clothes she might wear. There was quite a bit of women’s clothing in my inventory.
The reason is because of Sunni.
She, who has been living an almost materialized life lately, has quite a lot of clothes.
You’ll also need underwear, right?
‘This is…’ .’
Panties and bra are visible.
However, the shape is a bit unusual.
This is an amazingly functional underwear that has an opening in the middle, so you can do your business without having to take off your underwear.
〈What are you planning on putting on an innocent child?!〉
Before I could even take out this underwear, Cosmos, the devil in my head, struck first.
A pair of women’s underwear and yellow tracksuits, which are somewhat plainer than the functional underwear I was eyeing, fall in front of Helena’s welcome.
The training suit is the so-called Bruce Lee sweatshirt.
The android possessed by the illusion of Helena skillfully puts on underwear and sweats.
It has always been true that the completion of fashion is the face.
She wore sweatpants that looked a bit tacky, but she didn’t look awkward at all.
Now that I think about it, I don’t know her name.
She had quite a bit of conversation, but she never heard a name. She is not Helena, so she cannot be called Helena.
“What is your name?”
“Unfortunately, I don’t have a name yet. Please give me one.”
“Helena didn’t give it to you?”
“I’ve never seen Helena either. All I have is her memories and her sense of purpose as to what I should do. Maybe she erased my memories.”
“Then… Since you have Helena’s memories… How about Helleri?”
When she heard that name, her face instantly turned cold.
“Really… Isn’t that too much? Even a dog passing by would give it to me with more sincerity than that.”
〈 This is ridiculous. How can you name something like that?〉
Even Cosmos joined in and criticized me.
“… Then how about v2? Helena ver. 2. It has a deep meaning of surpassing the creator.”
“… Are you saying that?”
Although she put a lot of effort into naming it… She eventually turned against me and asked Celestia to name her own.
And Celestia gave it the name ‘Herenia’.
“As expected, Sally, unlike anyone else, you don’t disappoint me.”
This is ridiculous.
I don’t know what the difference is between Herenia and Helleri.
I left the key room with Herenia, who now had her body.
When we came out of the gate, the silver wave gate disappeared and became an ordinary basement door.
“Now what happens to the room that key was in?”
“Well. Since I, the manager, have disappeared, the gate won’t open, and won’t it flood and disappear someday?”
Herenia speaks as if it were someone else’s business.
“Then let’s go!”
Herenia, taking her lead, seemed to be in a good mood.

I returned to her camping car with Herenia.
It was quiet.
There was no enthusiastic welcome from the men like yesterday and this morning.
Sarah and her group seemed to be trapped inside the villa.
And Sunni, who was guarding the camping car, reported new news.
“He died again?”
I don’t know why accidents happen every single day in this small place where there are no people.
“Yes, that’s right? The culprit is a man named Ruberne. They say he destroyed the evidence by burning the body and killed a man named Coleman.”
Sunni chattered about what had happened so far.
Why do they keep dying?
As expected, the culprit was one of Sarah’s group.
It is said that the criminal tried to attack Suni and was crushed.
Since the weak woman was alone in the camping car, she must have been good prey for him.
But he was unlucky.
Even the great devil cannot easily deal with Suni’s ability to use even my own strength.
Is Sunni normal? He was not something a murderer could do.
‘So are these guys stuck in the camp and staying quiet?’
I only felt sorry for the guy named Coleman.
He suffered such misfortune because he couldn’t see the murderer nearby.
We knew a long time ago that one of Sarah’s group would be a murderer. But even if I had warned them, it would have been meaningless.
Fallon, who can be said to be the leader of Sera and her group, was suspicious of me.
“What about the police investigator?”
“You said you left someone behind to guide the investigators? You said they would probably arrive tomorrow?”
Tomorrow…
I’ve done all my business here.
Still, should I wait?
Even if the culprit was caught, if we disappeared, the investigators’ attention could have been diverted.
“Master. Who is that woman again? Why does it seem like the clothes she’s wearing are the training clothes I had..? Is it a mistake?”
Suni took a seat on one side of the camping car, looked at Herenia standing in the distance, and asked.
“… Me?”

Fallon locked Luvern in the basement of the villa.
It is said that Unas will be locked up until investigators are brought in tomorrow.
Sarah was experiencing some guilt and complex and subtle emotions.
There was something unclear.
If he was the culprit who murdered Carol and Coleman, why did he bother to announce that Coleman was dead?
It was a problem that was recognized even among the party members.
Anyway, I thought it was a problem that would be solved when the investigator came tomorrow, so I just stayed quiet.
As Sarah lay down in her sleeping bag to sleep, she found a note.
“Sarah. I know who the real culprit who killed Carol is. Do you know what this means? I want to talk with the investigators before they come. -Luverne-“
Sarah’s heart sank when she saw the note.
Sarah was unable to come to her senses to the point where she could not even question how Lou Verne had put such a note in her sleeping bag.
“Sera, where are you going?”
Jenny suddenly saw Sarah trying to leave her tent and asked.
“Oh, no, I just wanted to do some business…”
Sarah pretended to go to the bathroom and left her place.
She then headed to Louverne where she locked herself in the cellar.
