"So when Riley was talking about "Justice"... She was actually talking about a physical object! And not the philosophical idea I was programmed to enforce!" The simple-minded Bob misunderstood as he was misled by a bigger idiot named Bop.
"Eh? Philosophical idea? What's that?" Bop asked, picking his nose while he "fixed" some of the HyperCop's machine programming to follow his orders instead.
" "Idea" Something intangible but can be exercised, such examples include the words Truth, Development, and Freedom" Policeman Bob robotically explained.
"Freedom?! What does that mean?! "Phipholosocally" of course" Beep asked mumbling over the new word she had just learned.
Currently, Bop and Policeman Bob were inside Marcus' Manor, they had decided to lay low here for a while after escaping from the Police Station and parting ways with Ducio.
"The power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint" Policeman Bob mechanically defined the meaning of freedom.
""Ah!"" At that moment both Bop and Beep looked like they were hit by an epiphany!
Bop: "You don't think..."
Beep: "that Martha just wanted that freedom?..."
Both Beep and Bop stared at each other speechless.
""Neh"" But after a while dismissed what they had learned.
"Ridiculous" Bop remarked.
"Yeah! I mean Martha could say and do whatever she wanted! I don't think she'd want this "ideological" freedom, Bob's talking about..." Beep mistook Martha's wish for Beep's freedom for something Martha wanted for herself...
"Yeah yeah, she obviously wanted the otaku sword! I mean, even I would want one before I die" Bop agreed.
"That was one fine otaku sword" Bop sighed as he remembered the Sword of "Freedom" he saw in the vision shown by the Thesarius.
"Are you really sure Riley wants this "Justice" item you speak of?" Bob asked.
"I'm sure of it! A policewoman like Riley would probably use it to capture every criminal there is!" Bop thought that since "Freedom" was a sword, then this "Justice" thing must surely be a cool otaku weapon too!
[I wanna see it!] Bop wasn't really sure anymore if Riley wanted the ideological definition of Justice, or if she wants something else, but he didn't really care... Bop just wanted to see cool things.
"Y-Y-You're the police!" Beep stuttered when she heard Policeman Bob was with the police. She's only seen police inside their metallic riot gear, and so she didn't know HyperCops and normal unarmored police existed.
"Why yes of course ma'am. Sadly I am currently temporarily not part of the police force... And is hiding from them..." Bob robotically sighed.
"O-oh, so you're a criminal like me then if you're hiding from the police" Beep sighed as she realized Policeman Bob wasn't part of the metal men she considered her enemy.
"Wait, doesn't that mean were fellow comrades then? Since we're both criminals!" Beep excitedly asked Policeman Bob.
"I guess that is so" Bob's limited thinking capacity fell for Beep's oversimplified logic.
"Gahaha, now there are four of us in the gang! Me, Bop, Meiyu, and You! We four are comrades now" Beep smiled brightly at Policeman Bob.
"Comrades?... Like partners?" Policeman Bob asked.
"Yeah! Like partners!" Beep enthusiastically answered.
["Hello~ Partner!"] Policeman Bob remembered Riley enthusiastically calling him her partner.
"Partners... Comrades... I like that" Policeman Bob said as he watched Bop and Beep, his new partners, talk about something.
The next day as Bop, Beep, and Policeman Bob was about to go inside the Thesarius and ask it what "Justice" Riley wanted to find, they were interrupted by Meiyu who entered Marcus' Manor abruptly.
"Bop? You there? I heard from Mussolini you got out" As Meiyu entered the manor she was met with a HyperCop charging at her.
"Criminal detected! Deep Carp Princess, Xia, Meiyu! Must detain! Protect other criminal "comrades"!" Policeman Bob's remnant police programming determined the entering Meiyu to be a big threat.
But the great clash was ended anticlimactically as Policeman Bob was hit by Meiyu's sheathed sword, crashing down on the floor.
"Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow." Policeman Bob uttered.
"What's this crazy bot doing here? Oh, Bop! There you are!" Meiyu noticed Bop approaching them.
"WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY HOUSE!" Marcus shouted as he went downstairs.
"O-Oh! XiaLiyu! I didn't know you were visiting!" Marcus suddenly became wary when he saw Meiyu in the front door.
"What? I came here yesterday..." Meiyu was speechless. She didn't know Marcus still hadn't learned of her visits to Bop.
"O-Oh you did? Sorry, I wasn't home yesterday. I was at an esteemed Campain Party, to lift up my fan's spirits" Marcus tried to brag, but he was sadly ignored by Meiyu as she went to talk to Bop instead.
"You got that crazy bot in your house?" Meiyu asked.
"Yeah, he's one of my comrades now, Gehehe" Bop responded.
"O-oh... You guy's starting a gang now?"
"Yeah, something like that. Oh yeah! Meiyu, wanna go inside Bop's Janitor Manual with us?" Beep answered in place of Bop as she asked Meiyu to join them in the Thesarius.
"His Janitor Manual???" Meiyu asked, visibly puzzled.
"Yeah, you never heard of a manual before?" Bop asked as he tried to fix the dented Policeman Bob in front of him.
"Oh Bop, enough of that. Mussolini just called it, he asked me to get you to back him up. It looks like a bunch of ruffians have been giving his boys some trouble. He's heard some great things about you from his son, Ducio. He told me he wanted you to personally handle the thugs... Oh and good job getting Ducio out... Tsk tsk tsk, to think the enemy party almost used him as leverage against us. Good job on that one Bop. Now if you'll excuse me, madam Meiyu. I must be off to the next campaign!" Like a storm Marcus left after greeting Meiyu and giving Bop his assignment and left the same way he entered.
"Assignment? So you're like Marcus' goon now? I thought you worked for Mussolini" Meiyu asked Bop.
"Goon? Neh, I'm helping him out in his election. He told me he'll get us a ship outta here!" Bop explained.
"I see... So you're gonna handle those goons or?" Meiyu asked.
"Let's go in my Manual for now. The goons can wait" Bop answered, inviting the party inside his manual.
