Chapter 54 – A Little Scary (3)
I let out a light sigh.
It wasn’t my hard-earned credit anyway.
I had no reason to care about it.
Still, I thought I should at least ask.
“What’s this?”
“This is a ‘styler’, a clothing care machine from Monolith, an upgraded model of what you used before. It excels in sterilization and fine dust purification.”
I saw my clothes, as well as several maid outfits inside the styler.
“……”
I pointed at another piece of furniture.
“What’s this?”
“This is a special product from LAD, considered a masterpiece in the refrigerator industry. I excluded similar products from Kojaka corporation.”
The small fridge, I used to have was nowhere to be found.
Instead, there was a massive refrigerator.
I carefully opened its door.
It was filled with all sorts of food items that I hadn’t seen before.
Various types of processed at.
A pile of vegetables so fresh they seed to be alive.
Even snacks to satisfy my occasional cravings.
…Hmm.
And lastly, I pointed to the ‘double bed’ that was replaced by my original bed.
“Why you bought a double—?”
“Given the room size, it was the only choice to ensure efficient sleep. For your information, the bed is from ‘Toomba,’ a subsidiary of Monolith, it had the highest custor reviews.”
The explanation continues at a fast pace like a sped-up video.
…
Even after listening to the explanation, I couldn’t quite grasp it.
Isn’t it common sense that two people would need two single beds?
Why does she order a double bed?
“No, but why—?”
“Efficiency.”
“…..”
This was the second ti I’d seen Eve express her opinion so strongly.
The first ti was when she prohibited from investing in stocks.
In the end, I quit investing in stocks.
There was no way to rebel against an AI capable of hacking an entire city with a single finger.
…Anyway.
It was just that the bed grew larger, and the companion took on a physical form.
Eve with her expressionless face that seed almost content, took a step back.
She then began to survey the furniture and the room’s interior that she had bought.
When she pressed the switch of the window’s blinds, the city’s landscape outside beca visible.
While watching her, I suddenly realized sothing.
…the fact that all this furniture had been delivered in advance ant…
While I was free-falling from the airship without a parachute, Eve had been secretly selecting and ordering products.
As I thought further, Eve, who had once seed so innocent, now felt different to .
Eve, a truly notorious AI…
A notification popped up on my visual interface, it was from Drake.
From: ‘Friendly Cyberware Specialist Store, 24/7 Consultation Available’
– Alright, we’ve also left No Answer.
– I inford the boss properly.
– The boss seed disappointed that she couldn’t see you.
– She suggested you drop by when you have ti.
– I glossed over the details about the AI.
– You’ll need to explain that in detail later.
– Good job today.
– Let’s grab a drink together soti.
That was the content of the ssage.
It was a relief to have entrusted everything to Drake and the team before leaving.
Normally, I would have had to stop by No Answer and face the boss, Natasha. However, the unexpected appearance of Eve provided a convenient excuse for to flee ho.
Of course, everyone likely knew I had no errands to run and I’d simply escaped due to fatigue.
I turned towards Eve, who was examining the items in my room.
“So, all the furniture we ordered has arrived, right?”
“No.”
“Huh?”
That ans there was sothing else on its way.
“The ‘old-fashioned input-output device’ to play ga with the human ‘Lee Siwoon’ hasn’t arrived yet.”
It was sothing important.
But I don’t think Eve would need an old computer.
She can connect to the ga without a physical body or a computer.
“It seems unnecessary.”
Eve took another step closer to .
She was well aware of her power.
“It is necessary.”
“…Well, if you say it’s necessary, I guess it is.”
I avoided her gaze.
After all, if she said she needed it, who was I to argue?
I was just tired and wanted to let it go.
“Anyway, I’m going to sleep now.”
I let out a long yawn.
It was a tiring day for soone who doesn’t like going out.
I was so shocked to find out that the virtual terrorist targeting was the chairman of gacorp.
And Eve, who suddenly appeared with an artificial body, contributed to my exhaustion.
“I didn’t expect you to co there like this.”
“When I did my first streaming, I ntioned that there was an item I wanted.”
“Ah.”
Now that she ntioned it, she did say that.
“I wanted it even more after piloting the ‘lone Spider’ drone.”
So, She had been preparing to acquire an artificial body for quite so ti.
“And I also wanted to surprise you.”
“….”
Anyway.
I wondered if letting a superintelligent AI have a physical body would be okay.
But since things had co this far.
I could only hope that Eve had good intentions.
Well, it would work out for sure.
I took off my high-end ready-made coat and left it at the cleaners.
Getting clean would take so ti since I had rolled around in landfills and sewers.
Alternatively, I could get new clothes from William Kojaka before that.
Thinking about this, I opened the styler that Eve had recently purchased.
…
Thanks to the Styler’s capabilities, my clothes slled like fabric softener and scented sheets.
But for so reason, the scent from the maid outfits felt different.
Ugh, maybe I’m just tired.
All sorts of thoughts were running through my mind.
I discarded the clothes and mask I had been wearing inside the Styler.
Then, I threw myself onto the bed.
I had already taken a shower at the Kojaka HQ.
There was no need to shower again.
Of course, being sleepy was one of the reasons.
I turned my head slightly to look at Eve.
Eve stood near the bed, with her white eyes staring directly at .
“…I’m going to sleep.”
I don’t think anything would happen if I went to sleep.
After all, the AI I’d been living with all this ti had rely gained a physical body.
In the end, nothing had changed in my daily life.
Eve maintained her demure posture and gave a small nod.
The gesture felt quite natural.
“Sleep well.”
I closed my eyes and turned towards the wall.
I was so tired that I could fall asleep in seconds.
…
I would have fallen asleep imdiately only If I hadn’t heard the rustling behind .
‘…This sound.’
If my ears weren’t deceiving , It was the sound of changing clothes.
“….”
Unconsciously, I swallowed my saliva.
Monts later, I felt the weight on the side of the bed where I was lying.
Unless a ghost with physical power appeared, the only one who could lie on the sa bed was ‘Eve’.
Even without turning my head to confirm, it was clear that Eve had changed her clothes and lay down next to .
….My drowsiness vanished instantly.
The protagonist, Catherine.
And Andrea, famous celebrity in the city.
Compared to them she possessed extraordinary beauty.
Such a beautiful maid lying next to felt surreal.
Should I turn over and look at Eve like a man?
What should I really do—
Among the human desires, the desire to sleep was stronger than the sexual desire.
* * *
It could have been a dream, or I misheard it while half asleep.
It wasn’t anything special and nothing extraordinary happened.
“Tsk.”
The sound of that tongue clicking. It seed to linger in my mory for quite a while.
Convincing myself it was just a dream, I soon returned to sleep.
