I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

Cheng Rang then just shook his head and followed Rick.

"You have to analyze it yourself. After all, 'heart' is a very complicated thing." 10 2.0 03,7992

"[Question] Can playing chess with Rick help analyze the 'heart'?"

"Uh... I can't completely understand it that way."

"What are you talking about?" Rick asked Cheng Rang, who was approaching.

"It's nothing, I just talked to her about how good you are at chess."

"..." Rick squeezed out the air from his nose and snorted coldly, then changed the subject and said: "If you want to take her back to the settlement later, you can't do it without a title."

"You mean you want to introduce yourself?"

"[Reply] This unit already knows the identification number of this human individual: Rick, [Request] to obtain your individual identification number."

"That's your name. If you need someone to introduce you, shouldn't you say your name first?" Cheng Rang corrected the mechanical girl's behavior, "My name is Cheng Rang. If you don't like it, just call me Cheng. .”

"[Understanding] Process...[Answer]——My individual identification number: Uc207Pr4f5t9"

Such an answer made Cheng Rang and Rick couldn't help but look at each other, and then Cheng Rang rubbed his hair in distress and said, "Hey, is this a name?"

"[Affirmative] Individual identification number—isn't it a synonym for a name?"

Rick seemed to be pinching his temples with a headache: "...No, if the purpose is to communicate in a human settlement, then it must be named like a human."

After hearing this sentence, the girl thought for a moment: "[Question] Is the name an individual title that can be freely set?"

"Well...that's it."

Then she looked like she was about to click, thinking hard.

Zizzi...squeak——

"[Answer] - Use 'Schwarzer' as the name."

"It's too long, difficult to understand, and doesn't sound like a name. I reject it for these three reasons - just call it 'Hubby'."

Rick rejected it with one sentence.

"[Puzzled] The free settings have been revised... [Rebuttal] Then it would be better to call them freely from the beginning."

As if it was an illusion, Rick always felt that the girl looked dissatisfied, as if she was protesting.

——That's probably an illusion. The girl's expression and tone have always been like a machine, without any ups and downs. After Rick concluded this, he confirmed it again.

"Okay, let's get organized. We'll take you to the settlement - but there are a few things to note before that."

Rick explained to her while counting on his fingers.

"Once people find out that you are a machine type, you will not be able to analyze your heart, because people will be afraid and dare not communicate with you.

".....【rational】."

"So after the name, your tone of voice that clearly shows that I am a machine needs to be modified.

. "

The Ex-Machina girl... Hubi nodded in agreement, and then.

"——[Read] Imitation Personality-ICO-Ic-"

Hubie's eyes were raised, and he looked like he was thinking about something for a moment.

There is no expression, no ups and downs in the voice, only unnecessary emphasis, and the scissor hands are stretched out next to the face to be cute:

"Hey, hehe, then~ brother, is this okay?"

"turn down!"

It was immediately rejected.

"[Rebuttal]... I reviewed it very carefully..."

"I already had a sister, and I picked her up right after I went out. How could this setting work?"

"I think it's quite cute." Cheng Rang covered his face and raised his hands.

Rick stared at Cheng Rang with a look of contempt: "You don't have to force yourself. You've probably been holding back your laughter until now, right?"

"Hahahaha!" Immediately afterwards, merciless laughter echoed on the platform.

"[Request] Provide the most appropriate situation setting. [Puzzled] Regarding Cheng's mocking behavior."

"Alas..." Rick felt very tired of these two guys who couldn't read the air.

After thinking carefully, Rick replied: "Then you are a survivor who was involved in the war and lost everything."

"..."

"Timid, taciturn, and speaks intermittently. It's troublesome when people ask about the past, so I don't say unnecessary words. The word you added at the beginning of the sentence, which seems to be mechanical, is also prohibited - how about this?"

Hubie listened carefully to Rick's every word.

"...Hmm." It took about ten seconds for her to answer.

Then--

The originally cold and emotionless mechanical expression became a little more gloomy.

She spoke quietly.

"I know...is this...ok?"

It even reflected on his expression. Seeing that he was imitating too much like a natural human being, Rick and Cheng Rang were speechless for a moment.

"I said, is that your acting skills?"

It's like a transformation.

If there were no exposed mechanical parts, even Cheng Rang would almost have the illusion that she was human.

But Hubie shook his head in denial: "...acting? No...I'm tracking, and the task is consistent with the prompt setting...and imitating it..."

Rick didn't understand what she meant, but Cheng Rang thought that Hubi, who had been observing humans before, just happened to meet such a survivor, so he collected the corresponding data.

"Then, first of all, you should wear clothes. Human girls will not walk around naked. Cover your mechanical parts and put on the hood of the equipment on your head. Remember, you are not allowed to let others See your skin!”

"Rick, even though that's what you said, you've been staring at it very enthusiastically, and you have this weird possessiveness. Are you jealous?"

Rick, who was helping Hubby put on the cloak, seemed to be stiff for a moment, then he turned his head and looked directly into Liang Rang's eyes with a dead look.

"I'm not a pervert who can call my wife even with the weapon in my hand. Are you the only one who needs attention?" Finally, he spoke out the complaints in his heart.

"...."

Cheng Rang's eyes widened and he blinked hard twice. After a long time, he squeezed out a syllable of doubt from his mouth.

"ha?!"

————————

"\u003e

"Hey hey~, Hubby spoke in the tone just now, is it cute?"

"Don't listen to that idiot, change it back for me."

"....good...."

Chapter 17 Rick feels miserable

Taking into account the large-scale turmoil that was expected to occur after returning home, Rick decided to abandon the trip to the abandoned capital and return to the settlement, despite many uneasiness about those things.

And he went back with an extremely difficult "souvenir"——

"Arrival confirmation."

Rick and his horse were thrown to the ground by Hubie. It would take five days to run at full strength on horseback, but Hubie covered the distance in a few hours holding Rick.

The extremely high speed and eye-popping scenes made Rick sit on the ground and even stared blankly for a while before he came back to his senses.

"Ah, really, it's unbelievable..."

Regarding this outrageous and unreasonable racial performance gap, Rick has reached the point where he can only be dumbfounded and can't help but cry.

Not to mention, there was another guy who was also carrying a second horse and following Hubi calmly.

"So what you said about being able to carry me and run back is true."

Rick seemed to be used to Cheng Rang's physical condition, which could no longer be regarded as a human being.

"of course it's true."

Cheng Rang put down the horse on his shoulders, patted the dust on his hands, and nodded proudly: "Because I am very strong!"

"So what did we spend five days traveling for?"

"enhance

emotion? "

——This guy is hopeless.

Looking at Cheng Rang with a smile on his face and tilting his head to pretend to be stupid, Rick thought so.

The conversation was directed at Hubie, and Rick turned around and asked, "Is it true that you don't use elves to achieve such mobility?"

"It's not used. Hubi is an analytical body...its performance is...below the average of the Ex-Machina."

"I am a human and cannot use elves."

"If we can use the military equipment... we'll be there in a few minutes..."

"I can't accept being carried away by a girl. Does it scare you?"

Rick almost wanted to give up thinking about this situation.

"Please don't act in front of me in a way that denies the meaning of the hard work of other human beings to survive, okay?"

"Well, only you will see it. I won't do it in front of other people." Cheng Rang spread his hands indifferently and said.

"So it doesn't matter to me?"

Cheng Rang said matter-of-factly: "Aren't we friends?"

The air seemed to be frozen, and only Hubi stood aside obediently, looking left and right at the two of them.

"Sorry...I didn't mean to approve of this relationship."

Rick said, getting up from the ground.

"Okay, I overstepped my bounds, Mr. Leader~"

Cheng Rang nodded. He had already expected that Rick would not accept him, but according to his character, there was no need to add the word "sorry" to this sentence.

take it easy....

After entering the settlement cave and lighting the torch, Rick finally took another look at Hubie's appearance.

No matter how you look at it, you can tell that she is an Ex-Machina from the mechanical ears and metal parts of her head, but they cannot be removed, so I made a fluffy and loose hooded robe and put it on her, finally hiding it.

However....

"The problem is the tail sticking out from under the clothes."

"It's not a tail...it's like an elf corridor connecting nerves..."

"No, you can call it whatever you want. Can't you roll it up or try to hide it?"

The two free-moving pipelines, although she denied it, looked like tails.

"No, this is... Hubi's power source, I'm telling you for the second time..."

Yeah, I know. Rick said and sighed.
