Because of the resources continously depleting, Luigi is forced to restrain himself from being too obsessive when it comes to his body hygiene. Thus, he was forced to only clean his body by showering and cleaning his teeth by a few millimeter of toothpaste.
In his face, everyone can see dismay forming in his already fading pupils. His satisfactory, despite just waking up from the long sleep he had, has long since been low. However, Eve is now trying her best to renew the lost resources they have.
And obviously he can't wait for even a second.
Fortunately, update of the drill towards the surface of the world has been given.
[Master, the drilling team has now reach the surface. However, according to their reports, it seems they are within a cave located under an unidentified mountain. The investigation teams are currently undergoing an excessive survey, until then, you are to remain within the area.
But please do be at ease, after the recon, you will be able to see the surface as soon as possible.]
Upon hearing a great news coming from his companion, his eyes glitters in delight and started to collapse in the ground. In his thought, there can be seen a hope that shines brightly despite millions of years of being isolated from the rest of the world.
However, this thought of his was suddenly made to a halt upon realizing a few of his companion's word.
"Mountain?"
Yes, a mountain. A mountain which is a landmark that exist even in his era but only used for docking space ships due to its high altitude. In his memory, despite still being fuzzy, he can remember well that they are not positioned directly below any sort of mountain.
Perhaps this could be the work of the overactive tectonic plates that terrorize the surface of the world for the past 3 million years.
[Yes, this mountain will be a great advantage to our soon-to-be surface base since it can be used as our natural defense against potential threats.]
Ohh... Suddenly, Luigi was left in thought. His companion does things pretty efficient. The fact that she manage to utilize the mountain's sturdiness is truly something worthy to praise.
"You're right, well, I'll leave it to you. Tell me more when you get an update from them."
[Certainly. Now, please do excuse me.]
Luigi wave his hand to dismiss Eve, whom immediately left for her work. Because of this, he was now left in his lonesome who currently suffer in boredom.
The reason for this is that, though he is the master of this shelter, it will be discourteous for him to interfere with his companion's job. Of course, this includes to other AIs as well.
So in the meantime, while news has yet come to be sent, he endured the rest of the remaining day, either playing an offline games in vr.
However, before the day could even end, Eve suddenly entered his room wearing a scornful face.
"Ah... What seems to be the problem?"
Interrupted from his game, Luigi frown after seeing the figure of his companion.
[Master, I do understand the basic understanding of human needs. And I know for a fact that you are bored, but please do endure, but if you cannot, at least limit your leisure plays. We are currently under critical condition due to low energy reserve, so please...?]
The mature looking face of his companion made a pleading expression right in front of Luigi who is currently astonished by her sudden shift of mood.
'I thought she only wears a serious face, so she can make expression like that as well.' truly, even when they are at their usual working days before, she only show him a serious, poker expression despite numerous failures that usually occurs in the shelter.
"I'm sorry."
Due to the suddennness of the situation, Luigi can only mutter instinctively after being shown by something out of ordinary by Eve.
[Thank you, master. Then, I'll be returning.]
For a second, he thought he was dreaming. Then suddenly, everything became a reality when Eve walk out from his room.
Luigi entered a deep thought after seeing the expression of his companion.
Certainly, his companion is special since it is made especially for the use of the imperial staffs. Him being one, of course, are given in mandatory.
This doll, who can float, run as fast as cheetah, with a defense system as dangerous as a military-grade combat AIs, and as beautiful as a model with ash gray hair, just made an expression similar to a human.
Mhm...
Perhaps it's time to rethink his intention. Seeing his companion act like a human just now made him lose his guard, which is dangerous. The natural plan for this is to make a countermeasure.
Yes, that's right.
"I need to know more about these weird AIs." he mutter, picturing the human expression of his companion.
