"Master, coffee."
Regina served Bloed a cup of coffee politely.
"Thank you." Bloed smiled and asked her to put it on the table while he finished his current experint.
As a helper, Regina was incredibly versatile. From cooking, washing dishes, and preparing coffee, to helping with Bloed's experints and being his sparring partner. Regina could do almost anything. Even Bloed could only sigh in admiration with such a perfect assistant.
Bloed life had beco many tis easier since Regina appeared in his life. Having a personal assistant that could answer all his needs made his work way smoother. Moreover, Regina was easy to the eye. Bloed was much happier having a beautiful girl beside him than having a hovering talking ball of tal.
Her only defect was that she rarely spoke. She seldom started a conversation. And the few tis she did, it was because she wanted to ask about sothing or she wanted to help Bloed with his experints.
Most of the ti, Regina simply stood there thinking about sothing unknown. Bloed did not know what she was thinking about, but according to Camilla, she was trying to learn about 'feelings'.
Bloed rather liked Regina. In fact, he liked that she was a quiet girl. After all, he needed to be fully concentrated during his experints, and any small distraction could an failure.
Almost six months had passed since Regina was created, and Bloed continued progressing as fast as a rocket. He had started to study bioengineering a few months ago, and his progress in the field was comndable.
He had so projects in mind, but he was not sure if Camilla was going to approve them. To be honest, even Bloed thought they were a bit crazy, but he also felt they were perfect for him.
Besides studying bioengineering, Bloed had also built a few more artifacts successfully and received his body enhancent surgery one month ago. The surgery was sothing all the soldiers received before being deployed to space, and it consists of strengthening his body genetic's makeup.
After the surgery, Bloed was five tis faster and stronger, his body was much more resistant to extre situations, and his height had increased noticeably. Currently, Bloed was almost 1.80 ters tall despite not being fifteen yet.
Bloed needed almost one week to adapt to his new body, but Camilla said that normally you would need two months, so he was pretty happy with his results. He concluded that it was another perk of [Enhanced Brain Capacity].
Normally, the minimum age to receive the surgery is fifteen, but for so reason, Camilla decided to realize it before it. She never explained the reason though, but Bloed trusted Camilla blindly, so he never asked it.
Today, Bloed was working on a new project of his.
His hand was holding an electric plier, and his other hand was holding an incredibly small artifact, less than one centiter long. It seed like a small tallic ball.
When he was done, he let out a heavy breath and put the ball on the table.
"Let's see if it works." Bloed muttered to himself. "Regina, give energy."
"Yes, master." Regina nodded and turned on the electricity.
Bloed stared at the ball with complete focus. When the electricity reached it he held his breath and waited patiently.
But nothing happened.
" It's a failure, huh." Bloed said after waiting for almost one minute. He then looked up and sighed. "Dammit, I have tried everything I can think about. What is wrong?"
"Master, you are using a program too complex for a piece too small. The result you want is simply impossible."
Bloed looked at Regina and smiled. "Are you not supposed to cheer up? What kind of assistant are you?"
"I'm simply trying to help you to save ti. I think it's better if you work in more aningful projects." Regina said.
Bloed laughed. "Hahaha, yeah, perhaps you are right. However, I'm pretty confident in my idea. I just need to change my focus and I'll find the answer."
Regina frowned. "Master, what you want is simply impossible with the current technology. Moreover, you still want to make it interact with more pieces as a hive. I can't see a way it can work."
"Yeah, it has to interact As a hive As a hive As a hive! Regina, you are a genius!"
"Huh?"
"That is the answer! A hive! Mmm Nope, a net is a better na. Yes, if I connect them with a net and allow them to share information in real-ti, storing just a bit of information in each piece and combining the pieces to make a whole Hahahaha, it's possible! What do you think, Regina?"
" Master, your idea is crazy But it could work"
"Hahaha, you see I told you it's possible!"
Regina sighed and put on a smile. "I admit defeat. By the way, master, dinnerti is in twenty minutes."
"Oh? It's already so late." Bloed shook his head. "Thank you for reminding , Regina. I don't want to leave mother waiting for ."
"It's my duty."
Bloed nodded and quickly changed his clothes. Of course, he asked Regina to leave his room first. Even if Regina was technically his servant, he was not going to change his clothes in front of a girl.
Moreover, his heart already had an owner. Showing his body to another woman was disrespectful to his love.
Although technically, his love did not even know about his feelings.
When Bloed and Regina were walking towards the dining room, Regina suddenly asked sothing.
"Master, can I ask a question?"
"Of course, do ask."
Regina fell silent for a mont. She then opened her lips hesitantly.
" I have been trying to understand the concept of happiness lately, but there is sothing I don't understand. Why are you sotis happier than at other tis?"
"Huh? What do you an?"
"For example, every ti you are about to see mother or when you speak to her or about her, your heart rate accelerates, your secretions of serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin increase drastically, and your steps beco lighter. However, that does not happen when you talk to or Tito."
Bloed froze. He then looked at Regina with an awkward expression.
"Is it very obvious?"
Regina furrowed her eyes and nodded.
"The signs are around twenty percent stronger."
Bloed smiled wryly. How was he supposed to answer this?
Fortunately, he thought an answer quickly.
"Actually, Regina, it's hard to explain When you fall in love with soone, you will understand."
Regina furrowed her brows.
"Love, huh"
"Yeah, love. You feel happier when you are with soone you love, and sad when your love is sad. You care about the person you love, and that person is always in your thoughts At least, I think love is like that."
"Love" Regina could not help but think about that word.
But after thinking for a long ti without finding an answer, Regina once more confird sothing she had realized a while ago.
Human feelings are unnecessarily complicated.
