Chapter 135 - 135. You've Changed a Lot Since I Didn't See You, Leon (6)

Chapter 135 - 135. You've Changed a Lot Since I Didn't See You, Leon (6)

The city located in the desert, Delgrad was expected to be heavily guarded.

It was only natural that it wasn't long before the 'abnormal phenomenon' in which all alien species in the desert disappeared without much notice.

But he didn't have to enter Delgrade.

The wagon arrived at the edge of the desert on the way to the academy.

This was the rendezvous point that had been prearranged with Zepetty.

That is why it was judged that it would be difficult to go directly to the ancient ruins.

But Zeppetti didn't show up even though time passed and night came.

Could it be that the body is not complete?

So, I was waiting while paying an additional fee to the coachman.

On one side of the carriage, Ray was sleeping soundly with Shady in her arms.

'Good night...'

It was a visual that didn't make me think of a warrior who would fight the devil in the future.

Can I help her not to die in this life, so that she can get out of her 'bridle'.

It was still a long way off.

That time when I was sitting in the wagon and scattering my spirits.

Something touches the feeling.

At the same time, the voice of Sierra, who was out of the wagon and looking at the desert, echoed in her head.

[ ...Looks like you found it. ]

She was walking towards this place from the other side of the desert.

Right after her, I opened her door and got out of her carriage and I caught her in her eyes.

The woman walking on her platinum, cold sand had her white hair.

'Zepetti...'

She had the same appearance as the one she had seen in the virtual space before.

It was only that she was slightly smaller than I had seen her before, which was probably her judgment following her order to teach 'her sister' to study.

'I never thought I could create a real body.'

Judging from what was transmitted through her senses, it seemed that she had indeed created a 'human body'.

Even though the speed of development of science and technology is getting more and more steep, I have no idea how much technology it is.

I glanced at Sierra next to her.

'If...'

...Well, I'll think about this later.

Right now, that didn't matter.

Zepetty, who found me, was running vigorously to this place.

In a very lively voice.

"Brother~!!"

While calling me

[ Huh... ]

Sierra let out her saliva.

This is the first time she and I have actually met.

Did I finish my studies well?

The current Zeppetti was acting like a 'younger sister' in a very natural way.

...Except for being barefoot, it was perfect.

Soon, Zepetty, who ran towards me, leaped.

ㅡ Wow.

My Petty hugged me, giving me all of her body.

"Haha..."

Breathing heavily as if out of breath.

Her throbbing heartbeat is transmitted to her chest.

There was warmth in her body.

It wasn't even a virtual space, so it was actually the warmth radiating from her body.

"I miss you..."

With her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist, she gives me strength and holds me tight.

"..."

It was a pretty harsh greeting.

Petty, who was riding on me, stopped hugging me and lifted her head while resting on my shoulder, and met her eyes with mine.

Her face showed no emotion whatsoever.

Zeppetti's small lips opened.

"...How was it?"

She was asking how the acting was and if she was natural.

I answered in a somewhat trembling voice.

"Uh... Um... Perfect..."

The corner of Petty's mouth rises as she creeps up.

Her smile felt very natural.

However, she did not know if she was taught that way or if she felt the joy of being praised.

***

Ray's existence.

That Ray is a reincarnated hero.

The attitude that Zeppetti should take.

What to do after entering the academy, etc... I spread a lot of information to Zeppetti at once.

"...Understand."

She figured out the situation quickly like a highly developed artificial intelligence.

Soon Jeppetti looks over to where her Sierra is and bows down to greet her politely.

"Meet Zeto's master."

Then Sierra points to Petty to express her perplexity.

[Could this child be seen as the original woman...? ]

For her sake, I decided to add her explanation.

"...It's not like that. It probably feels a lot like Daedroth."

The last time I met Zeppetti at the ruins, he muttered something about detecting supernatural energy.

"As long as you analyze the energy and match the channels, it seems that interaction will be possible, but it is judged to be impossible with the current body."

Zeppetti, who was listening to my conversation with Sierra, said that in a nonchalant voice.

He couldn't hear Sierra's voice, so he only listened to my answer and figured out what we were talking about.

It was an amazing understanding.

I'm not sure what you mean by channel or what, but it seems that Sierra and her interactions are no good.

"For now... Shall we go back?"

It seems that the explanations that need to be done are roughly finished, and now that there is only one day left, it seemed better to leave quickly.

***

Road to the academy.

The day had already been bright for a long time, and even though the wagon rattled loudly, Ray hardly thought of waking up.

I don't know where she got it, but she was wearing her clothes, albeit shabby, but she hadn't prepared her shoes, so Petty's feet, which were all scratched, hurriedly tore her clothes and wrapped pieces of cloth around them. .

Zepetty had said that she had a body repair function, so she didn't have to do that, but there was no way that she would be convincing if she said that with the scent of her blood.

I urgently got a pair of shoes from a nearby village.

She didn't fit her foot size, but it's better than nothing.

She finally put on her spare robe.

'I need to buy some clothes...'

Since Ray didn't have too many things to do separately, when she entered the academy, 'shopping' might be her priority.

Petty, who became human, wasn't particularly talkative.

She never spoke to her first and asked questions.

She did, though, and whenever she had something to ask, she asked me to feel free to ask.

[The house is going to be noisy now... She will miss never being alone with her former student...]

Sierra, cradled on my shoulder, was laying out her hesitations about her current situation.

Ray is a reincarnated hero.

Zepetty is a disciple's servant from the other world.

It seems that she had no choice but to accept it because the situation was the situation, but what she was embarrassed about was that she couldn't help it.

It was while I was scratching my cheek, feeling the burdensome gaze of Zeppetti, who was sitting on the side of the wagon and quietly looking at me.

"Yes..."

Ray rubs her eyes and pulls her body up.

"Write."

Looking drowsy, she couldn't even open her eyes properly and wiped the drool shed while sleeping.

Ray's eyes slowly open.

Opposite her was 'Je Petty', who was very strange to her.

"..."

Bite her eyes a few more times.

"Zetto...?"

Ray questioned as she grabbed my arm as she sat beside her with her tiny hand.

ㅡ Clap.

I gave a big clap, then stood up from the rocking wagon, standing between Ray and Zeppetti.

"Okay, let's make a formal introduction. Ray? This is my Petty. I'm playing her little sister."

I said that and pointed at my petty with her palm.

"My Petty? This is Ray. I'm taking on the role of her sister as well."

Following my introduction, Zeppetti and Ray exchange glances.

"..."

"...Meet the warrior."

Ray still had a bewildered look on his face, and Zeppetti gave her a slight bow of her head in greeting.

"Then, shall we try to get along well with each other...?"

I couldn't think of anything to finish, so I evaded it like that.

I haven't been able to solve the detailed information for Ray, but anyway, we've done the 'necessary' explanation for each other. Wouldn't that be a big problem?

In any case, as of this time, we who are in the carriage have become a 'community of destiny'.

"Hey, brother... Candy... I need candy..."

Rey, who closed her eyes tightly and held her own forehead, held out her hand to me.

I immediately took the candy from her pocket and put it in Ray's hand. It hadn't even been a few days since he'd been with Ray, but it was something she was used to.

Ray gazes at Zeppetti as he rolls her candy in her mouth.

Zepetty stopped looking at Ray like that and turned her head to her.

"It's candy... I want to try it too, is it okay?"

"Of course? My Petty is now definitely a 'younger sister'. She just needs to be proud like the 'Hero' over there."

In response to my answer that followed, Ray muttered something like 'nonsense...'.

"...All right."

My Petty accepts her candy from me.

Then, Zeppetti closely observes the candy using all of his senses.

"What are you doing to get your hands stained? Eat quickly."

"..."

As if accepting Ray's urging, Je Petty finally holds her candy.

Zeppetti's pupils widen as he puts the candy in his mouth.

The sweetness I tasted for the first time after I got a body.

What kind of stimulus is coming to her, her artificial intelligence?

It was something I was very curious about.

"You're such a strange person to eat candy for the first time. So how about it, isn't it sweet?"

She wasn't even the candy she made herself, but Ray, who was overconfident, let out a smile as if she wasn't satisfied.

"... Temporarily disabled the function of taste. The stimulation is too strong."

"Is that so...?"

Ray whispers to me after giving such a flimsy answer.

"The function of the sense of taste... Was it possible to stop it...?"

At her whisper, I turned her head.

I don't know either.

Scary.

It was around the time that time had passed and the wagon was getting closer to the academy.

At that time, I, Raydo, and Sierra were gradually getting used to Zepetty's 'artificial intelligence'.

Ray opened her mouth.

"But didn't she say she was good at playing a younger sister? She doesn't look like her sister now..."

"Because I don't have to do it now."

It was decided that Zeppetti, like Ray, would not do it in a space where he did not have to act.

"If you're curious, can I show you now?"

At Zepetty's question, Ray nods her head.

Ray makes an expression of 'let's see how well he does' and crosses her arms.

I was curious to see what Shie and I would show, so I watched quietly.

Soon, Zeppetti's eyes, which were attracting everyone's attention, suddenly change.

She had the kind of lively face I had seen when she ran into me in the desert before.

Then she lunges at me and Ray, who are across from her.

"I'm so glad to be reunited with Ray and her brother...!"

Zepetty shouted as she hugged me and Ray at the same time.

Come to think of it, she was more mature than my Petty Ray, so she might be her 'sister' to Ray.

"I'm sorry..."

Ray throws her a shriek mixed with her bewilderment.

"Let's never part again."

Either that or not, Zeppetti's acting with his whole body continued. Even judging from the lines, it was an acting that referred to the 'setup' I made up.

"..."

Soon after, Zeppetti, who was holding Ray and me, started staring at me without saying a word.

Is this also part of acting?

As the question passed by, Zeppetti's lips opened.

"...You understand, brother Zeto?"

Her smile was a bit creepy...

...Probably because of my mood.
