Chap 13: robot

  --- At Allan's room, apartment in London, England ---

  [The following is live television news from Sky News. Tomorrow marks 20 years since humanity was in dire straits before an army of monsters from the sky. Many people were unfortunate on that dark day, but that was also the time when heroes appeared. Their repelling the threat brought peace to the world, as well as a new god, a new era for us! So let's rejoice at the festival of Gruumsh!]

  The sound of TV rang out, it filled the quiet atmosphere in Allan's room. The day before, this place had become desolate after a Slime attack. Walls were punched with holes, tables and chairs were ruined, everywhere were dents caused by acid corrosion. However, everything had now been restored to its original state, creating Allan's usual warm and familiar atmosphere.

  “What are you doing, Allan?” Yona sat on the sofa curiously. The girl rested her chin and hands on the chair and watched.

  “Hunter job advertisement.” Allan is hanging a sign in front of his house. Smiling in satisfaction, he took out his phone and took a photo. “This way, people in need can come to you for help.”

  “Heh, looks like you're going to be very busy.” The robot girl sat up, causing her two pairs of white hair to sway slightly. ”Can I help you?”

  “Hm…” The British boy rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. He posted a new photo on his stream and social networks and proposed. “Let me continue streaming the game I'm currently playing!”

  “…Eh!” Taking a few seconds to react, Yona gasped at the request. The girl retreated towards the chair as if to hide herself. “C-can I refuse?”

  “Of course, little Yona~.” Allan flashed a mischievous grin. ”But not you and the 10,000 spectators.”

  “Noooo No!”

  The girl clung to the edge of the sofa, looking like a cat about to be carried into the bathroom by its owner. Or maybe, if Yona had ears and a tail, they would stand up right now!

  "…Really." Allan sighed. His gaze fell to the ground, his shoulders sagging. “When you talk together, we can overcome all difficulties… perhaps this is too much for you…”

  “I-I…” Yona couldn't help but feel tormented by her brother who looked full of sadness.

  “Don't worry, it's my fault for asking you so unreasonable.” The brown haired boy replied with a bitter smile.

  “I didn't mean that!” The girl quickly went into Allan's room and started the computer. ”I'm just a little worried! I can't ignore Mr. Allan if he needs help~.”

  “Then count on me~.” Allan now grinned. He closed the door and put his phone in his pocket. “That's right, do you know where Elina is going?”

  “Mama said to attend a mechanical equipment design course.” Yona looked back and replied while adjusting the seat height. Her shoulder-high keyboard is now within reach.

  “Oh, so where does she go to school?” Allan asked curiously. He pulled up a chair and sat right next to Yona, pressing the description line to post on the social networking site.

  “It seems to be in Australia.” The girl replied after turning on the computer's camera and preparing to stream.

  “It's so far…” Looking away from the phone, the boy's eyes widened in surprise. "The place she found must be very skilled..."

  “I don't know, mom just said that the professor there is the most famous.”

  Yona looked at the keyboard and then switched to the computer screen. It took a while for the clumsy girl to find the mountain to start the stream. Through the replay camera, the computer screen shows Yona's face sitting in front of the computer.

  “H-hello everyone! I, Yona… have returned!” The robot girl spoke hesitantly, even though this was the second time.

  [YONAAAA!]

  [Are you okay! How was yesterday's drama?]

  [Is my brother-in-law okay (??- ?? ;) ?]

  [So happy, still streaming.]

  [Have you practiced outside of streaming time?]

  [Looking forward to "professional" gamer Yona howling and screaming.]

  [Ask Al to open a stream to apologize for abandoning us!]

  The chat line scrolled up with countless different expressions. People were worried when we were absent because of the Slime guy's attack. People were happy because we were healthy again. There was even an audience waiting for Yona to struggle in the game. And obviously, there were chats who were not happy that our stream stopped midway.

  “Sorry everyone for the problems with the previous stream.” Allan stuck his head into the camera, and the computer screen also showed his face on the stream. “I probably won't stream as often as before, because I just became a Hunter. So, if anyone needs help or someone you know needs help, my email is always welcome ~.”

  [So my brother-in-law has war blood (? ? ?) .]

  [Yona will be the main actress!]

  [Allan Channel ->Yona Channel.]

  [Goodbye gaming expert streams.]

  [Delicious, you can also watch Yona howl for a long time!]

  [Replacing the apology stream with a new announcement, I did not foresee this move.]

  [Can I be hired to work together in the upcoming rankings?]

  [‘My streamer is a part-time Hunter’. I have another new fic.]

  The whole chat box started to panic at my announcement. There is both optimism and pessimism among them.

  “Okay then, everyone, don't bully Yona too much. It's okay to tease her, just don't go too far ~.” Allan grinned while giving instructions to the audience. His hands were placed on Yona's small shoulders.

  “Eh, what do you mean?” Yona turned to Allan with wide eyes. The girl stood still for a moment, waiting for an answer, then became even more confused when she saw that he only smiled in response. ”Hey, don't scare me!”

  [lol]

  [My brother-in-law has given permission, yolo! ???]

  [Friendship with Allan channel has ended, welcome Yona channel ~.]

  [This is such a sad story, I have to play Despacito.]

  [Pizza and soft drinks are ready, here comes Yona's chorus.]

  [Objection, please come back and play the game for us!]

  [Leave because you're cowardly, young man! Come out and bet Yasuo solo!]

  And the audience once again became excited, only Yona was more panicked. Even so, no one really objected to what happened during that stream. Still full of laughter and shouting between Allan and Yona, the audience could not help but follow the two cousins.

  --- At the same time, at Fort Olzug, Australia ---

  Stepping through a Portal, Elina set foot on a piece of land hundreds of meters above the ground and above the clouds. The air around her was more airy than on the ground. The cool wind caressed her skin under the warm sunlight. The wind blew and swayed the white hair of the female doctor. Before her eyes was a town surrounding a magnificent castle. But people with strange appearances were bustling about - small Kobolds that looked like dragons, tall Orcs with gray skin, or Goblins that looked like children with pointy ears and yellow skin. They exchange goods at stalls or grow crops in fields full of different plants. Others are sparring with each other or exercising.

  “Completely different feeling on the plane and in outer space...”

  Elina took a deep breath to feel the fresh air of the open high mountains. Although she really wanted to visit this place more, she knew that now was not a good time. Returning to the original purpose,

  The female doctor followed the route and address on the phone. Elina walked to a store that looked very different. It was a glossy white house that looked like repainted metal. Looking at the number hanging on the mailbox in front of the door, she could confirm that it was the right place. The door had an arrow and a welcome sign, so she opened the door and entered. Inside the house, the female doctor was even more overwhelmed. Inside that house is a workshop larger than a stadium. It's like this place was compressed inside a small 10 square meter house!

  Elina took a deep breath, her chest filled with the fresh air of the open high mountains. Although the majestic scenery made her want to stop and look more, her reason reminded her that now was not the right time. Returning to the original purpose, the female doctor followed the route and address recorded on the phone.

  Finally, she arrived in front of a house. It looks very different from regular houses. The exterior looked like it was built from a glossy white material, as if the metal had been painted over. Looking at the number hanging on the mailbox in front of the door, Elina could confirm that this was her destination. The door had a direction arrow and a welcome sign, so she immediately opened the door and stepped inside.

  In that house, the female doctor became even more overwhelmed. Instead of the small, narrow space she imagined, the place she entered was a large workshop, it could rival a stadium! It was as if this place had been compressed into a house of only 10 square meters by some scientific technology.

  Walking down the hallway, Elina could see countless robots doing different jobs. Carrying blocks of metal or containers of screws, there are robots cutting materials and assembling them into equipment. Although you can vaguely hear the sounds of sawing and drilling on metal. However, it wasn't really too loud, as if it was blocked by invisible walls.

  BOOM

  “Huh!”

  An explosion sounded like a firecracker, drowning out the surrounding noise. Elina was startled by that sound. Her eyes immediately turned to the place filled with smoke and dust.

  “Ah… Raw Magic is overdone~.”

  From the thick black smoke, a girl in a tight outfit stepped out. It was a young woman with long, flowing silver hair and sparkling golden eyes. Even though she was caught up in the explosion, she still walked lightly, brushed her hair away, and moaned without being overwhelmed by the smoke. Even though she was covered in black smoke, her clothes and hair were still flawless.

  “Please clean up everyone~.” The young girl said to the robots and then looked at Elina. “Hm? Are you a guest?”

  “Ah, I came to Professor Evelina to ask to learn!” The female doctor regained composure and replied after seeing the explosion. She took out her ID card and introduced herself. ”I'm Elina, and I have an appointment to see the professor today.”

  “Oh, so it's you~.” The girl smiled brightly and danced a few steps. The young girl gracefully spun around and then extended her hand in the direction of the hallway. “Be honored to have the genius mechanic, the beauty Adamantine, the perfect creation of humanity Hawa Cleverwork, guide you to your beautiful mother~.”

  “Thanks to you.”

  The female doctor put the card back in her pocket. She followed Hawa's lead. The floor began to move, pushing both of them away. The female doctor initially leaned a bit, but she regained her balance and avoided falling. She tried to look closely at the floor to see how its structure moved to do that. However, Elina still saw that the floor was white and quiet, nothing had changed. At this point, she could only hypothesize that some kind of magical technology made only the part of the floor the size of her shoe move!

  Leaving the hall where Elina walked, she was led to a long hallway. To her right were countless guns, swords, clubs, and shields of various sizes and shapes. Looking to the left, the female doctor saw many robots of various sizes. From robots as small as a pocket phone, to nearly 20 meters tall!

  “Heheh, how about Hawa's arsenal of weapons and robots?” Hawa looked back with a proud smile.

  “V-very impressive.”

  Elina replied with a forced smile. She was stunned by the amount of weapons as if this were a military arsenal. At the same time, it also made the female doctor see the scenario in which these things were used. The collapsing structures shook the ground, but the explosion ripped through the air, black smoke filled the sky, and blazing fire spread across the ground. Thinking about the destruction these weapons brought, Elina couldn't help but shudder.

  “Don't you think they're beautiful?” Hawa took a thin single-edged sword from the wall. “Its black iron color sparkles in the light, the metal's hardness and toughness. The crystallization of humanity, the sweet fruit of civilization, the beauty of wisdom!”

  She turned it around and placed the sword wave in the middle of her arm. The sword was held together by two slender arm muscles. Both sides of the blade were rubbed by the fabric on her sleeve. The action Hawa did looked no different from some white-haired cyborg ninja cleaning a sword.

  “They are just like kitchen knives and hammers. Good people will use it for cooking and repairs, bad people will use it to cause harm. Same with these.” The female robot puffed out her chest with constant confidence on her lips. She threw the sword away, and it returned to its original place on the wall. ”In the wrong hands, these children are weapons of mass destruction. But in the hands of a hero, they are tools that protect the righteous and the righteous ~.”

  “…That's a really good way of thinking.” Hearing that, Elina felt somewhat relieved.

  “Oh right, Hawa forgot.”

  Hawa suddenly remembered something. She snapped her fingers and a floating tray arrived. On top of that tray were two cups of milk and tea mixture.

  ”Let's have some sweet drink. It will help you stay more alert when studying with your mother~.” The female robot picked up a cup and offered it.

  “Thank you, then I'll excuse you.”

  Elina smiled lightly and took the cup of milk tea. Taking a sip of bitter tea, mixed with rich and sweet milk, the female doctor felt somewhat less stressed. Looking at Hawa, who looked to be about the same age as Allan, Elina chuckled. At first, she was a bit scared when she saw a little girl with a passion for military weapons and making them. It made her think of her superior, who disagreed with her. That is a man who believes in researching robots and machines as tools for the military and profit. However, Hawa's innocent desire, friendly smile, and clear eyes like a child have made Elina feel more relieved. Maybe if you meet Allan, you two will easily become friends.
