Chapter 82 – Ruler (2)

Emotions, mindset, instincts. Human nature, including all of that. To Lucy, it’s the same element as the gyereuk. In Lucy’s eyes, humanity is inefficiency itself, and it doesn’t fit the path she’s pursuing at all.

However, it was impossible to completely ignore it.

[Calculating probabilities.]

After confirming YuRia’s sincerity, Lucy didn’t ignore the request and started calculating out of habit. About the possibilities of keeping Yuria’s younger brother alive, the ‘only survivor’ who witnessed them.

Of course, the fact that she was calculating like this was proof that Lucy herself was not free from her humanity.

The beings who created Lucy in the first place, and the beings who grew up together are human beings. Rather than denying it, Lucy acknowledged it and found a way to exploit it.

[Retreat as is. If you believe in your brother, I will only allow you to talk to him with a silence order.]

“Ahh······.”

Yuria bowed her head to the sky in admiration at Lucy’s decision, which she tried to make a complicated calculation for, but made it in less than a second.

Then, with sad eyes, he slowly approached his younger brother, who was still frozen.

“Oh, don’t come.”

Naturally, he flinched greatly and, wriggling his wounded body, aimed his sword at her. However, the tip of the sword was shaking unbelievably for a knight.

It was because his face was exactly the same as the one he had when he was still a young boy.

““What are you? What are you and do you dare to have that face?”

“I can’t explain because it’s on his orders, Chris. But I’m alive after all, and I’ve got new life and the power to avenge myself. So please. Please don’t tell anyone about today.”

“······sister!”

Eventually, his vigilance, which had been constantly shaking, completely collapsed. With just one voice calling her name. This was evidence of how much he had missed his sister all the years he thought she was dead.

“What the hell happened?! Obviously, Alfred-sama is the unit your sister belongs to…”

“That bastard betrayed us. That’s all I can say for you. So goodbye.”

I couldn’t keep talking. YuRia, avoiding his eager eyes, hurriedly left the place, leaving him staggering.

[The nerves involved in sadness are extremely active. Are you sad that you didn’t kill your brother?]

“I am happy but sad that he has grown up so well and saved his life. Although the grace I received from the demon king was great, I guess I couldn’t bear to control my emotions because I couldn’t be with my younger brother who had fallen away as a child.”

Even though Lucy achieved her goal, she couldn’t immediately understand YuRia’s sad feelings. This is because most of the emotions Lucy has learned so far have been one-dimensional.

Since it is an unknown territory that she herself cannot know, and an area that cannot be questioned by Yuria, Lucy agonizes over it and eventually finds another being.

“Yuria had a story like that.”

“It is impossible to understand. It is judged to be an area where learning is impossible.”

“I think you don’t have to get too attached to it.”

He smiled at Lucy’s sudden question and answered his thoughts.

“You are completely new. Neither fully artificial intelligence nor human beings. Learning is your strong point, but you don’t have to try to learn everything. Isn’t remodeling and application your strong point?”

“But that would prevent them from taking advantage of their strengths.”

“I’ve said it before, but I don’t think it matters. Clearly, you, who are rooted in artificial intelligence, may lack creativity. Then you just need to recruit people to fill it. Like YuRia.”

The technology of reconstructing a remodeled body and inserting only the extracted brain into it to create a completely new existence is actually a very scary technology.

It’s just that Lucy doesn’t actively use it on the grounds of inefficiency.

“Did you say Yuria’s younger brother, Chris? If the two really want to meet, he can join us this way. Of course, you wouldn’t blindly accept him.”

“That’s right. Even Yuria, who taught me magic, now has more inefficiencies, where the investment value exceeds the result value, but there is nothing new to learn from Chris, who is just a knight.”

“Then I guess I can use it in other fields. That person, anyway, it’s true that he has a strong relationship with Yuria. We can use that.”

After thinking about it for a while, he suggested a possibility to Lucy. Beyond the realm of rationality and calculation, thoroughly using only human emotions, a possibility Lucy would never have thought of.

It could be a gap to start for Lucy, who obviously needed information and influence in the human world.

“By the way, why did Yuria go to the human world and meet her younger sister?”

But then, he recalled a more fundamental question that he had forgotten for a while.

“That, that, that, that…”

Lucy’s thoughts stopped for a moment. To the point where all the Demon Lords flinched at the moment.

Because I was so focused on this matter, and because it was the first time I’d ever had such an aberration, I momentarily missed the fact that I shouldn’t tell him.

“Why are you so upset?”

[I, I am… I am…]

At his question, Lucy’s computational power burst to the level of runaway, but Lucy, who was greatly embarrassed, could not utter a word of excuse, just stuttering even with the computational power of manipulating numerous forces.

Even though he was calm about hiding the truth by covering his eyes and ears, it is also because he is extremely vulnerable to make up lies by making up non-existent facts according to his own weakness of lack of creativity.

“What’s wrong?”

His voice hardened a little when he saw Lucy stuttering for the first time. Since he always believed in Lucy, he guessed that something big had happened from the flustered appearance he showed for the first time.

To put it mildly, Lucy forgot to even control her body, and the body she was seeing through the screen was frozen in an awkward position with empty eyes.

“say. Then I will do something.”

[Ha, but if you say… if you say me…]

Lucy was frightened like a child who was wronged for the first time in her life.

The fear that he would be angry and disappointed with himself kept breaking the thought circuit.

“It’s okay if you don’t want to talk. it’s your freedom But even if you did something wrong, I will not abandon you.”

‘Lucy is the most advanced artificial intelligence in the world, but at the same time, she is still like a child.’

He was embarrassed as well, but he was able to afford it. Knowing what Lucy’s condition was, he decided that the priority was to appease her somehow.

“Actually, I was thinking of a separate project…”

Still, as a result of her own calculations to see if the healing was effective, Lucy, who concluded that it was less risky to be honest here, eventually manipulated her body again and opened her mouth.

“A plan to expand magical knowledge to research transfer technology? Why did you hide it from me?”

“It seemed that you would object to this. So I tried to push things forward so that there was no objection.”

“yes?”

It is shocking in many ways. When I replied that I secretly pursued the project because I was afraid I would oppose it, the question of how obsessed I was with the technology rose to my throat.

“I should have just said it. I would not have objected if you had persuaded me.”

“sorry.”

Lucy apologized to me for saying it in a tone of regret. But in fact, Lucy analyzed me properly. If I had known that fact, I would have told them to focus on the battle right in front of them.

“So, in the end, what is the result of all that hard work? Are you satisfied?”

“Currently, I am in the process of extracting information and learning from it. However, it is difficult to give a definite answer about the results.”

“I can’t help it, that’s it.”

Lucy, who had handled the work on her own initiative from start to finish, had a strong desire to make it a success no matter what.

Me too. In the recent social atmosphere, Lucy’s power is needed more.

“Anyway, you can act freely from now on. You don’t have to tell me everything. Because you have definitely grown up.”

“I will consider it.”

Just as she couldn’t lie, Lucy didn’t say anything empty. I laughed at the different attitude from other people who see ‘Nunchi’, but that’s not what I want from Lucy anyway.

‘It’s still going to be okay.’

In fact, Lucy exposed a weakness to me through this incident. his own heart towards me.

Even though she’s still immature to the point where she can’t even put into words what she feels, Lucy has a heart anyway, and my influence on it is enormous.

Then I just need to keep it. Anyway, the brain part couldn’t follow Lucy from the beginning.

“That is it. First of all, I have to return this sword.”

“It is possible to improve more efficiently. Do you?”

“No, not yet.”

After my conversation with Lucy, I leaned back in my chair and glanced at the sword that was leaning next to the desk. This sword is something Lucy has completely analyzed and returned, and I stole it.

I had to give it back, but I was looking for an opportunity. The news is quiet as if it wasn’t disclosed to the media, but in my ears working in the industry, I hear how the top is upside down every day.

“I can’t help it. Let’s take it roughly.”

Leaving the house in stealth, I quickly crossed the sky with my sword. Ordinary people can’t just leave a sword they don’t even know what it is, and going back to where it came from is crazy.

“…”

So, this is where I came to. The home of Baek Seung-cheol, president of the association. It is the weakest and most effective place I have come up with. An ordinary apartment on the 15th floor. He didn’t lock the window on the balcony.

[Detection of the presence of a total of 3 people. One of them is small and presumed to be a child. Breathing is even and there is no slight movement. Everyone appears to be sleeping.]

Seungcheol Baek’s family consists of his wife and only son. Lucy’s information matched the information I knew. Now it’s enough to leave the sword in the living room.

[Avoid. Children’s signs…]

“Yes······.”

It was then that someone burst open the door and came out. A child of elementary school age came out rubbing his eyes without a chance to avoid it, and strode past the living room and headed for the bathroom.

However, it may be a child’s unique intuition, but before going to the bathroom, the child turned his head and looked at the living room where I was standing.

“who are you?”

I wanted to, but anyway. Even though I couldn’t see that child in hiding, I could see the sword floating alone in the air that I had taken out to leave.
