Autodoll wa Kuchita Sekai de Yume wo Miru

rico was idly sitting at the library service counter.
Given that work has been already done, there’s nothing for her to do.
Someone has tread through the floor and left a track, but it is said not to repair it.
Prico decided to take off her maid outfit and take a playful sexy pose.
However she quickly lose interest, since there is no one to see it.
Reluctantly, Prico wore the maid clothes, which she took off, again.
A considerable amount of time has elapsed since Yuuyami and Rapha went out.
Date has changed at night, the sun ascend in the morning. However no one has returned yet.

“I’m free― from the fear, of tomorrow―”1

Prico linked her hands behind a head, and leaned on back of the chair.
This way she vacantly spent her time.
Then, a several people came in from the library entrance.
Prico quickly got up and prepared to welcome customers.
However,

“I’m home-. How are you, Caretaker-chan-?”

it was Lydia and the others, not a customers.
In the head was Lydia, she set afloat a smile while swaying her blonde hair.
Lydia is cute. I want to hold her tightly.
To the right of Lydia, peach haired Rapha.
Rapha is also cute. Both face and garments. I want to tease her, since she is so shy, thinks Prico.
To the left of Lydia – black haired Yuuyami.
Commonly known as a blackish one. I don’t really like you, thought Prico.
Behind Rapha is Ohan, an AD for military use.
Extremely frightening. Can you go elsewhere, wonders Prico.
And the last one, behind Lydia, a female she have never seen.
She has a black hair, wearing a white coat. She in the middle of her twenties.
Prico doesn’t know that woman.
She shouldn’t have known, despite that

“Master.”

she murmured and extended her right hand.
Appearing with desire to touch her.

“Apricot!”

The woman pushed Lydia aside and dashed at full speed.
Then got over the counter and embraced Prico.
Prico doesn’t hesitate and hugs her back.
Prico believed that she knew this sensation. Although it bound to be unknown, she remember. It was a strange feeling.
Also, she acquainted with a scent of this woman. There is no log remains of when and where she learned. Nevertheless, it was a smell she definitely remembers.

“I’m sorry, Apricot.”

Woman separated from Prico and looked straight at Prico’s visage.
Even after she performed a facial recognition authentication​, there is no hit. They have never met. And yet, she have seen her. She do not understand. Prico was slightly confused.

“You have never to pushed anything aside… Until yesterday it was all Lucy, Lucy, I even was confined…”

Rescued by Yuuyami, Lydia was pouting her cheeks.

“Since I love Lydia!”

Yuuyami said with a smile.
Huh? Thinks Prico. Does Yuuyami can give off such bright impression?
A little more light and she would be blinded. She felt that she wasn’t very good, this Yuuyami.
Prico wondered if the program was rewritten a bit.

“Apricot, here’s your backup data.”

Woman took out from her pocket a memory stick and showed it to Prico.

“If you wish, copy it to storage…”
“The events, before seeing ojou-sama in the Woodland, Apricot don’t remember any of it-, but, for some reason, I know you. Therefore, if you wish to know my answer, I’d like you to copy it-. As a thanks. I’ll make you feel good a plenty of times.”
“Do you, remember me?”

Woman was astonished by the circumstances​.

“Um―, I don’t know name nor face-. I just feel awfully nostalgic, and awfully desired to meet you―.”
“Enough.”

Woman hugged Apricot again.
At that instant, Apricot’s quantum brain sparked. It’s a metaphor, not physically.
Nevertheless, a spark scattered in her quantum brain surely,

“Hina-tan…”2

and she recalled​ the name of a woman.
Apricot used to call her Hina-tan.

“I will never abandon you, never again. I will continue to live until the day when you become conscious. Until our love grows genuine.”

Woman strongly hugged Apricot.
Apricot hugged a woman gently.

◇

Apricot, who regained her recollection, chose to return to Hinagiku, in the Woodland, very easily.
Apricot nas no hesitation.
As for Yuuyami, she felt very lonely.
However, it was Yuuyami who suggested that Apricot shall decide for herself.

“Farewell, Prico… You can always come back and become LM Series.”

Yuuyami called out to Apricot who got into the emergency vehicle.3
Incidentally​, Hinagiku, Apricot, Rapha and Ohan in the emergency vehicle.
Rapha and Ohan said if they sent Hinagiku party, they would return to an Underground after that.
It was early in the afternoon, when everyone get through with a lunch.

“Not a chance―”

Nnnmm, Prico stuck out her tongue.
By any chance, am I hated? Yuuyami experienced such an attitude to herself for the first time.

“Apricot―, from now on, will have looots of fun playing with Hina-tan!”
“Haha, I’m looking forward to it. Let’s go home quickly. Rapha, quickly get out of the car.”

Hinagiku, who was already sitting at the back of the emergency vehicle, hurried Rapha.

“Mama-Hina truly shameful. Well, taking into account your age, you already can’t be called a maiden, so I won’t blame you.”

Haah, Rapha sighed.

“I’m still youthful​. In my heart I’m twenty for eternity.”
“Yes, yes. That’s good.”

Rapha slightly shook her head.

“Well, I’ll come to play in the Woodland again.”

Lydia waved her hand.

“At that occasion―, let’s have fun together!”

Apricot smiles.

“I must refrain.”

Lydia made a wry smile.

“Well then, see you again.”

Yuuyami waved, and the emergency vehicle slowly started to move.
For a while, Yuuyami and Lydia were watching the backlights of emergency vehicle.

“It’s quiet,” said Lydia.
“That’s right. It feels a little lonely.”
“Everyone was unique.”
“Indeed, they were. Everyone, was strange and very complicated.”

Apricot and Ohan are also included in everyone.

“That’s right. Well, recently, Yuuyami a little complicated either.”
“Eh?”
“Huh? You wasn’t aware of it?”
“I am totally not. I am myself.”

Yuuyami was unruffled and indifferently said so.

“…Unparalleled love.”
“Huuh.”

Lydia murmured, Yuuyami faced a problem.
Why did she utter such an incomprehensible thing?
No matter how many times she verified a log, the only cause appeared to be likely that she lapse into delirium​ by the heat.

“I’ll probably keep saying this through my whole life, you know?”

Lydia smirked.

“At, at that time, I believed it was the finest​ phrase…”

Yuuyami seemed to be embarrassed and bashful.

◇

After Lydia repaired the floor, she started working on design of the child together with Yuuyami.
However, when it come to the child’s personality, the two reached an impasse.

“We shall resign of the personhood​ similar to Noah,” said Yuuyami.
“Uh-huh. Slightly more graceful would be better,” agrees Lydia.
“Yes. However I also wish to avoid personality which will be completely unrelated to us.”
“That’s right. Since she’ll be our child, I want to pass a little of our personalities.”

Yuuyami and Lydia sitting before the computer desk next to each other, with their chairs facing.

“What should we do? I’m able to extract my individuality pattern to some extent…”
“I believe I can analyse synaptic patterns and extract it from there, right?”
“Indeed. So first we need to create a device which will analyse Lydia’s synaptic patterns.”
“Uh-huh. And then mix my personality, that I extract, and Yuuyami’s.”
“Yes. But that is insufficient.”
“Right-. For the child it’s essential to have their own personality pattern either. A simple copy of me and Yuuyami is not fun.”
“That’s right.”

Um―m, they started to groan together.
A few dozens of seconds later Lydia claps her hands.

“Create a random pattern, and then mix it?”
“Indeed. Alright. But even if you say random, I’d like to choose it to some extent. I want to omit the antisocial personality.”
“Right. Although there is no society.”

Lydia laughed while saying.

“That’s truth. There is no society in this world, however I don’t wish for her to be hateful.”
“Alright, I think so either. We’ll be in trouble if she turn out to be like mafia or terrorists from the movies.”
“Yes. Therefore, although it’s a random pattern, would you agree to omit the elements that are likely to make you unpleasant?”
“Certainly.”
“I’m glad.”

Yuuyami smiled, Lydia smiled as well.

“Let’s take a break.”

Lydia got up of her chair and looked at the Food Maker.
Coincidentally with it, a white feather fluttered down from above.

“Biological reaction!?”

Yuuyami stood up and looked above while protecting Lydia.
Lydia was caught by the gaze of Yuuyami and pointed her face upwards.
Thereupon,

“Onee-chan… amped up?”

An angel was floating as to where it came from.
