Cyberpunk City Night and... Robots!

"I wonder what did Adamantine's parents said about her… changes," said Arthur.
"She was smart enough to appear on her human appearance to them, but whenever I am close, her Ghoul colors emerge, perhaps because she is actually still quite hungry. It took Timassa two whole corpses to be satisfied after all," said Noah.
"I-I see… Were they affected due to her mind change?" asked Arthur.
"Obviously. But it was not as if they could do anything over it, they are a poor family after all. It was explained that her trauma must be due to having been eaten by Goblins and also after seeing her friends being eaten as well, so they have not suspected about us, and it has been two days since then, I haven't seen anyone investigating it either, mostly because Adamantine and her friend were not seen as valuable by the school, nor they were from rich families," said Noah.
"O-Oh, I see…" sighed Arthur, as he glanced at the expressionless Adamantine who had just recently cleaned her mouth from the blood of the snack she ate, Noah's hand.
"Do you want to help her parents monetarily?" asked Noah.
"Ah… Well, if she is going to be part of our group… Maybe," said Arthur.
"Do as you please… Although we should ask Iris what she thinks about you being compassionate with the girl that constantly beat her to almost death," said Noah.
"E-Eh? Did Adamantine do such a thing?" asked Arthur.
"It seems that you are quite blind about what is happening in your surroundings," said Noah.
"Oh, I am fine. Adamantine is not even the one she was before, it is as if she was reborn both in appearance and mind! She's like a sweet toddler now, the only thing she has on the mind is eating flesh and perhaps sleeping, fufu," laughed Iris.
"Mistress… Hungry…" said Adamantine.
"Calm down, we'll get you a nice snack soon~," said Iris, caressing Adamantine's chine as she closed her eyes as if enjoying it.
"I see… well, I will try to help her parents then…" said Arthur, he had a compassionate heart even as a Dhampir.
As long as it did not affect Noah nor his allies, Noah did not really care what he did for others.
The party had already gotten permissions from the guards, who all looked at the group quite suspiciously, but they dint do anything else than as what they were going to do, which Arthur had explained by saying: "I have invited them to have dinner in a restaurant with my parents", which made the soldiers shut up at the end, as Arthur's father was a big supplier of items to this school, and they didn't want to provoke their son, although some students didn't care about this, soldiers were a different thing, they were working in here after all.
The party walked through the streets of the central city of Sector D.
In Sector D, there was the Central City area where most of the population and the rich families lived, and then there were three smaller cities each one at one side of the city, connected through large bridges where futuristic-looking cars traveled through.
Although 20 years ago cars like these never existed…
Nor flying cars either.
Although Noah was used to this as he lived in the Central City, Jon, who seemed to be a country pumpkin that lived in a faraway town in the last areas of Sector D was always surprised over the wonders of nowadays technology.
Such advanced technology would not exist if it were not because of the discovery of magic, of course.
By merging magic and technology, humanity was able to do great leaps in technological advancement.
Using things such as Magic Crystals as sources of amazing fuel, enormous ships traveled the sky, and cars flew around the sky.
And through the war for survival against monsters, they were pressured to generate even better technology, which finally gave birth to what is called, Magic Technology.
Magic Technology is mostly used by all of humanity at this point, although the military school where Noah and the rest are does not invest much money in high-tech items unless they will help students learn how to fight better.
"Such a beautiful city… To think that the outside world is filled with monsters…" said Iris.
"Technology has advanced by leaps and bounds since the discovery of magic… But most of this beauty is reserved for the rich, so we cannot enjoy any of it… yet," said Noah.
"Ah, look, a robot!" said Iris, as she pointed out to a humanoid-type robot with the appearance of a cute girl, although her skin was silvery gray and decorated with pink and blue lines, her eyes were large and almost anime-like, with pink twin tails and a cute smile.
"It is really a robot… You don't see these doing such work…" said Timassa.
"What is it doing?" asked Arthur.
"It is promoting that restaurant, it seems," said Noah.
"Hello! Come in here, we got delicious porridge! Ham Rice Bowls and even Fried Monster Shrimps! 20% Off only today with this coupon!" said the adorable robot girl, as she moved around as if dancing while carrying a large sign around.
The majority of the people ignored her, although some perverted guys glanced at her with pretentious smiles.
"Look! She looks like those robot whores from the other back street district!"
"You're right… Those are pretty cheap, but what about this cutie?"
Two shady-looking men who exuded a mild amount of Mana, F-Rank Hunters, approached the robot girl with perverted smiles.
"Oi cutie, do you got some time off?"
"How much for a night?"
"E-Eh? Are they serious?" wondered Arthur.
"Sadly, robots are not only used to serve as soldiers or servants… but like any slave, there are certain models like this one who are modified to have imitations of genitalia, often used as… prostitutes…" said Timassa.
Noah watched at the scene expressionlessly as he slowly walked with his party, he had no interest in a robot, even less in people… but these two guys, the F-Rank Hunters, seemed weak enough to be good prey.
"A-Ah! S-Sorry, I am not… I don't work in those things…" said the robot girl, as she stepped back a bit.
"What are you talking about? You're clearly a Fembot-type robot, you're made to be fucked," said one of the men.
"You're just our type, come on," said the other man, forcing the robot girl's harm.
Although the girl tried to protect herself, she was modified so she couldn't hurt humans, she could only struggle and try to talk them out of this misunderstanding.
"Please you are misunderstanding something, sir… I work in this restaurant, I am not… a robot for those works…" said the robot girl, her cybernetic pink eyes seemed to be a bit worried.
"There is no misunderstanding in here, come on!" roared one of the men, forcing the girl towards the side of the buildings, streets where the light of the city did not reach.
"Please let me go! Don't touch me!" cried the girl, although the F-Rank Hunters were strong enough to force their way into her.
Throwing her into the ground, one of the men quickly moved towards her lower parts, forcibly taking off the metallic parts that covered them…
"Oh, we told you that you were made for it! Look at that wet-"
Slash!
"Yeah, she's ready to take it- Eh? Aniki?"
Suddenly, the head of one of the F-Rank Hunters that tried to assault the robot girl flew into the air, leaving a stream of blood all around…
"W-What?!"
The figure of Noah and Iris emerged at his side, glancing at him.
"Hm, he smells quite bad, but I don't think Adamantine will discriminate," said Noah with a smile.
"W-What… who are you!? FIREBALL!" roared the F-Rank Hunter, however, a bolt of black thunder stopped his fireball from impacting Noah.
Clash!
"E-Eh!?"
The man noticed that within the shadows, four more figures emerged, all of their eyes were gleaming with crimson red light below the masks they wore, releasing a strong bloodlust as the little robot girl glanced at this scene with surprise and disbelief.
"W-Who are… they?" she wondered.
