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

In this world of the jungle, the weak will naturally admire the strong and cling to the strong. Only in this way can they have a greater chance of survival.

For the previous five years, that man had been Rick.

And five years later, will there be any changes because of Cheng's arrival?

Ke Long, who stumbled out of the kitchen, ignored Cheng Rang's plea behind him and ran towards Rick's room.

She wanted to share this feeling with her brother and ask him what to do.

My own thinking can no longer be called reliable, but if it were Rick, he would definitely be able to tell himself the answer calmly...

Then Ke Long opened the door and saw Hubie sitting astride Rick's waist in a very ambiguous posture...

"Ouch~~! Riding position~~!"

Such a scene made Ke Long, whose mind was already in a mess, howl like a wolf subconsciously and raised his hands to cover his cheeks.

"——Oops! I'm sorry...sister, come here now

It’s so inconsiderate... Just enjoy it slowly~"

boom!

Then, with the sound of footsteps leaving in a hurry, the door was closed.

Chapter 21 A fun plot?

......What's wrong?

Awakened by the movement at the door, Rick struggled to open his heavy eyelids in a hazy state.

"..."

"..."

Among the blankets, Hubie clung to Rick and stared at him. Rick's eyes met hers.

"Can you please explain why you are sitting on me?"

It doesn't matter how many hours, no, how many hours pass after falling asleep.

The conversation between killing and not killing was still going on before, but now it is like this. What on earth does this guy want to do——

"...Rick said you can't leave...sight...but Rick closed his eyes..."

At this time, she seemed to be boasting and said: "You can't leave the sight range. The implication... is that it is presumed to be within the range of cognition."

She seemed quite confident in her judgment.

It felt vaguely like her expression was saying, "I understand human abstract intentions, please praise me."

Rick frowned and replied: "I just mean don't leave this room, do you understand?"

"....Incomprehensible."

Hubie opened his eyes unblinkingly and answered quietly.

"...Close your eyes, and the designated one does not leave the sight range, and cannot be replaced..."

Maybe it was quite unacceptable, Hubie tilted his head and wondered, and then Kelong's voice sounded again.

"Ah, that's right! Well, I'm sorry for disturbing you while I was doing business..."

"We're not doing anything, why are you looking for me?"

"Ah, it's like this. I think it's better for you two to take a shower first! Especially Shubi-chan must have encountered a lot of things, so why don't you let me help you wash your body~?"

Hearing her words, Rick winked at Hubie.

——You have to cooperate with me this time!

Perhaps this time Rick's intention was conveyed to her, Hubie nodded vigorously, and then replied: "Rick said...except for Rick...Hughby can't let others see her body... ..."

Sure enough, it was time to kill this guy.

Rick felt that his consciousness was leaving his body, but a playful and smiling voice answered:

"Oh, it's true~ Do you mean the training is complete? I didn't expect my brother to move so quickly!"

"Kelong, please spare me...you should probably shut up..."

"Then it's up to you, Shubi-chan, now is a good opportunity!"

"Don't move your hands."

Rick reminded him again, only to see Kelon stretch out his hand, make a circle with his left hand, pass the fingers of his right hand over, and then run away like a typhoon.

The only ones left after that were Rick, who was feeling intense fatigue, and Hubie on top of him.

"Isn't it time for you to back away?"

"Um...."

Hubie got off himself, and Rick thought: No matter what he said, it was useless.

Now, the impression that he is a lolicon and a man who trains refugees who survived the war has been confirmed.

But this is better than being discovered that he brought the Ex-Machina to the settlement.

.......

Throw the red-hot stone into a large pot filled with water.

Instantly, steam rising from the bathroom filled the room. The principle of this bathroom is to use the steam to force out sweat, thereby washing away the dirt on the body, and finally pouring cold water on the body to refresh the body.

But since Hubi didn't have the ability to wick away sweat, Rick used rags and warm water from a large pot to clean the mechanical parts that were covered in dirt and dust.

Looking at it again up close, Rick couldn't help but marvel at her precision and complexity.

He had also seen several goblin props that used elves in a mechanical way. However, with Hubi's exposed mechanical part, Rick couldn't even guess what its function was.

"...Rick is a mechanical enthusiast?"

"So why do advanced machines always speak out such inferences and deviations from facts..."

Rick's tone sounded like he had been defeated by her, while Hubie answered as if he was defending: "Human thinking...because of the heart...cannot be predicted...is the singular point of calculation... "

Then there was silence between each other, only the sound of water drops could be heard.

Perhaps wanting to break the silence, Hubie suddenly said: "Rick, let's play a game..."

"In the bathroom? Why?"

"...Because...'boring'?"

Seeing Hubie express a concept that she clearly didn't understand in a question, Rick replied with a wry smile: "Okay, okay, but the use of elves is prohibited, the game board——"

It was as if he had predicted that such a thing would happen.

Or it should be said that this was her plan from the beginning.

Hubby took out the chessboard hidden in his robe.

At this, Rick sighed: "Hey... okay. It's just that I have to wash your hair, so there is no limit on thinking time."

Subtle sounds of falling pieces began to sound on the chessboard

.

As for Cheng Rang, who was huddled naked in the corner of the bathroom, he suddenly broke in and started playing chess, but he didn't notice the slightest sign of his behavior——

"Did you do it on purpose, you two?" He made a sound like this.

"Ugh!"

Rick, who was engrossed in the chess game, was startled by another voice that appeared in the bathroom. He immediately stood up and covered Hubie behind him.

Hubie like this must not be discovered by others, and Rick, who acted on the premise of this, reflected on his too careless behavior.

Rick, who had just woken up from exertion with a tired body and trusted Ke Long to clear the bathroom in advance, did not check if there was anyone else here.

But Ke Long was also absent-minded at that time...

As I said a long time ago, Cheng Rang is someone who likes to take a hot bath to relax after a long journey or a busy day, so there is nothing wrong with showing up in the bathroom.

The main reason is that the light here is too dark. After all, this is a place dug out of a fully enclosed cave.

Rick's heart was beating violently like an engine until Cheng Rang's figure walked out of the darkness with a helpless expression on his face.

"Cheng, you scared me...Why are you here?"

Seeing that the person who appeared was an insider, Rick felt relieved and let out a sigh of relief.

"I should be the one to ask this question... You are obviously sleeping. Why did I, who used the bathroom first, see you two coming in at the same time?" Cheng Rang felt a little uncomfortable under Hubie's direct gaze. He covered his lower body with the ground, "And Hubie, can you stop staring at me? This is impolite behavior."

"...It is incomprehensible. Human beings' sense of shame should only arise when they treat their own kind. Hubi is a machine...not even a living thing..."

"Sorry, your cute cheeks make it impossible for me to ignore the fact that I think you are a girl."

"...Hubi, there is no gender...although the appearance of the machine is...the setting of a young woman..."

Cheng Rang seemed to think that there was no point in having such an argument with Hubi, so he changed his mind and said, "Let's change the topic... Ex-machines obviously have so much knowledge, why do they need help bathing?"

Such a strange gaze was drawn to Rick again, making him feel numb all over.

"Is this what you, a lolicon, want to do?"

"no!"

Chapter 22: If three people wash, I will be the one who gets wet

Cheng Rang, who had simply put on some clothes, was sitting cross-legged behind Hubi, washing her long hair.

"What...the reason why the self-cleaning process cannot be performed without using an elf..."

"....Hubby, you didn't lie...."

The girl replied while moving the pieces on the chessboard.

According to Hubie, she has waterproof, dustproof, freeze-proof, fire-proof, bullet-proof, explosion-proof, magic-proof and elf-proof... In short, it is a body without anti-fouling function.

It sounded weird, but Cheng Rang didn't know where to complain for a while.

But what makes up for this is that elves can be used to self-purify themselves. However, due to Rick's restrictions, elves cannot be used in human settlements.

So Hubie asked Rick for help because he had never taken a bath without a self-purifying device and could not wash the fine parts.

Although Rick has always said that he refused,...

"...Inferring that Rick's reason for refusing to bathe with Hubie is most likely due to sexual attraction to his young appearance——"

"Okay, no need to continue talking." Cheng Rang immediately raised his hand to stop Hubi's subsequent explanation, indicating that he understood the situation.

"It's impossible to win a debate with machines..." Rick, who was sitting opposite the chessboard, scratched his hair and said with a wry smile: "So even if I didn't find it, Hubby would definitely know that there is something here. Others, why do you act like nothing happened?"

"...Cheng is an insider. Rick said there is no need to take it into consideration..."

"Then you can't pretend I don't exist! It's a matter of politeness!" Cheng Rang raised his finger and tapped Hubi's head.

"....polite?"

Hubi seemed to be thinking. After a few seconds of pause, he turned back to Cheng Rang and said slowly:

"....You're welcome...."

"...Sigh, it seems there is still a lot to learn." Cheng Rang laughed, scooped up a ladle of water and poured it on Hubi's head, "For those who helped you, you must Say 'thank you'."

"I know...thank you..." Hubie nodded softly, then looked at Rick——

"....sorry."

Seeing Cheng Rang's curious look, Rick knew exactly why she was apologizing to him at this time, but he also felt self-loathing, so he deliberately pretended to be stupid:

"What's going on?"

"...After that, I carefully investigated the information..."

It was impossible for Hubie to understand such subtle emotions, but she was telling her reflections.

"...The perpetrator asked the victim's 'heart'... This is unreasonable, so reasonable information cannot be obtained..."

The perpetrator and the victim——the machine said those words, which surprised Rick.

Although Cheng Rang, who was listening in, did not know that the two of them had
