"Where is Netzach? What are you guys doing here...?"
X did not see Netzach in the Safety Department office. On the contrary, she saw that Malkuth and Yesod seemed to be processing something. Those were probably documents that Netzach was responsible for.
"Ah... Manager, Netzach is not feeling well today, I came here just to tell you this..."
Maybe for some reason, Malkuth's words were a bit hesitant, very powerless, and when she looked towards X, her eyes were evasive.
"Is it true, Malkuth?
What you're holding in your hand is the pile of documents Netzach had yesterday."
X's memory is very good, many details can be remembered very firmly, yesterday Netzach threw aside a document and had this part.
"Malkuth, your lying skills are really broken, leave it to me. Manager, Netzach used too much Enkephalin today, she is now a waste, now we are helping her clean up the mess."
Yesod spoke frankly, it seemed that Yesod was lazy to hide something, just exposing the nonsense so frankly, making Malkuth feel a bit awkward.
"You are too petty, Yesod!"
Malkuth's smile disappeared, her face was awkward, she probably didn't think Yesod would directly choose to tell Manager.
Yesod's face was cold, she held her arm with a None of my business expression.
"So what, Malkuth?
What happens to Netzach has absolutely nothing to do with me."
"You... You are just like that, please, Yesod, at least don't bring this up to Angela."
"Huh... Even if she was discovered, it would be her fault."
"Netzach is looking down on her position, and you. You should be convening your team to prepare for a conference right now instead of being here to help that addict. How long are you going to let Manager see this nonsense?"
The two sides talked back and forth, Control Department Dean and Information Department Dean were about to argue again. Malkuth probably really doesn't like the cold and merciless Yesod, and Yesod also doesn't like the 'Foolish and Well-Intentioned' Malkuth.
X seems to now know the reason why Yesod has a bad reputation. Her comment is not only aimed at employees, but also towards Manager and other Deans.
This also led to Yesod not only being feared by employees, but also not having a good relationship with colleagues like Department Dean.
"Ah, Malkuth, you must still have something to be busy with, go quickly, I will take care of Netzach."
X promptly intervened before the argument escalated, separating the two Deans... It was clear that they were AI, but X felt like none of them could calm down.
Relatively speaking, Malkuth and Yesod both have a bit of a personality flaw, no one is perfect, but even if AI doesn't have one that is perfect, it's a bit strange.
"That's right!? This is indeed the case! Thank you, Yesod, goodbye, Manager!"
Malkuth rudely put down the document she was holding before, then hurriedly left holding the notebook.
"Ho, Yesod, even though I can understand what you mean, you should still use a little more euphemism...Malkuth just wants to help everyone, don't hurt her feelings. "
As X spoke, she collected the documents that Malkuth conveniently put aside, cleaned them up, and put them on Netzach's desk.
Yesod looked at X's behavior, remained silent for a moment, and also helped clean up. While finishing packing, she suddenly spoke up.
"Manager, please don't get angry, about Netzach.... Before letting Angela see Netzach, what must you do... She right now should be in the employees' break room behind the Dean's room , I also have my own things to do, so I'll go first."
Next, Information Department Dean didn't even wait for X to respond and quickly left this place.
"...."
"Yesod is also shy... Well, if she really didn't care about Netzach at all, she wouldn't be here."
X looked at the quickly leaving figure and whispered in a low voice. Yesod went to help Netzach deal with those documents. It was really rare. If she was really as fierce as she looked on the outside, she probably wouldn't do these unnecessary things.
But let Angela deal with Netzach? Let's forget it for now... X always felt that leaving a lot of matters related to Dean to Angela to handle would only make matters worse.
If Hod knew the employee she had just said goodbye to yesterday, but that person had been sent to some monster, and had been transformed into something else... I don't know what would have happened.
It's been so difficult to change things, but it feels like they're all ruined.
X found Netzach in a pile of messy things. She was like a crushed mold in the corner, like a mud wall that couldn't support it, and surrounded by empty Enkephalin. Along with an empty wine bottle, it seemed like she was having fun for a while, freely indulging her desires.
"Netzach, wake up, Netzach, you should go to work!"
X picked up Netzach's shoulder. It was clear that she was an AI, but to be able to get drunk like this, X felt like this was a person pretending to be an AI. How could there be an AI that liked addictive drugs?
AI doesn't need sleep, so even if she becomes drunk like this, Netzach will still be conscious, just not very awake.
"... What's going on... Ah... You today, look... are you... Hiccup... Do a little... Good thing. Ha ha... Right? It's not bad...."
"Ah? The floor... How... Why, shaking? Earthquake?"
Netzach sat directly on X's body, the smell of alcohol was overwhelming, the strong taste of alcohol made X frown, it was difficult to imagine how much alcohol Netzach actually drank, why did an AI drink so much?
Netzach's hands bent there, pulling X's waist, searching everywhere.
The slot of the belt on the waist of X is being pried restlessly.... However, maybe because of panic reasons, Netzach tried for a long time but could not succeed.
"Netzach, what are you messing with!"
X finally couldn't hold back anymore, she pushed Netzach's hand away. Even though she was an AI, even if she was a woman, her actions were too strange, how could she be like Angela.
Is Corporation AI all like that?
"Ah.... So.... It's X... One more drink, X!"
After being reminded by X, Netzach's mind seemed to be slightly... Good, she was still not awake at all, Netzach still seemed to be in a drunken state.
"Netzach, don't vomit on me either. Okay, I'll help you to the chair, sit down, honestly... You're still very heavy."
X was really worried that Netzach would vomit on her, even though she had never heard of an AI that could vomit.
"Ah...X... I know what you're thinking, you must be thinking... This waste... Looks so sad... Right? I understand... Ha ha, I can always hear it... Same assessment."
"But... Think about it for a moment... Looks like... I, don't look like... motherfucker at all, who cares? Ah!?"
"That's not exactly right, tomorrow I will... Hiccup! Herb grave... Damn it... Two meters high! Fuck it a... Ha ha, this feeling, is really refreshing."
Netzach said, she was tightly attached to X's body, her hands were on X's waist, nothing X could do could make her let go...
The smell of alcohol played in X's ear, rubbed X's hair, and then wiped X's neck many times, as if she wanted to dye all of her body's scent on X's body... like a mark.
Greedy, not satisfied...
"Netzach, don't say that about yourself, at least I'm still here looking at you, right? Look at your appearance, Safety Department Dean is like that... I remember yesterday I mentioned to you an employee called 'Tiffany'."
"Ah.... That one... I've already dealt with her."
Netzach spoke in a proud yet boastful tone, as if she was trying to compete for credit.
X thought about it, still hugged Netzach, did not throw her directly on the ground. No matter what, Netzach is still her subordinate, Department Dean, even if there is no cure, she cannot abandon her.
"Sigh, I don't want to scold you, Netzach... In fact, what you did was correct, but why can't you give that employee a chance..."
"However... the Corporation and I are probably both unfair, it seems like we have forgiven you for abusing drugs. I have no right to say such things..."
X thought a lot, there was a lot of meaning inside, but she couldn't say it all. In fact, from her standpoint, she has no right to say these things, it seems very hypocritical, very false.
Employee and Dean are inherently unequal, their treatment is not the same from the start, and they are all abusing Enkephalin. But Netzach always uses it without being punished, but if an employee just takes a little more than the dosage, they will be considered unstable and will be promptly dealt with.
X will give good advice and comfort to Netzach over and over again. But it is absolutely impossible for her to treat employees like this, that is separation, there is no way to overcome the distance.
X also knows this... She can't change anything, she can't even decide what to eat for lunch. Regardless of whether it's her, the Manager, or the Corporation AI, or the rest of the employees, they're all in a cage.
When X was feeling sorry, Netzach's thoughts were not the same, or perhaps..... From the beginning, Netzach's attention was not on those words. Her eyes were only on the short black-haired woman in front of her...
The woman's short black sideburns occupied her entire gaze, the vague-like feeling under the influence of Enkephalins very much captivated Netzach. The gentle words of the woman in front of her were like the warm sun, warmly shining in, and the awakened hibernating snake urgently needed the warm sunlight to warm its body.
Netzach had a strong alcohol scent playing on X's face.
"Talking... Why are you talking so much? Manager... What I mean is, why don't we celebrate... Me... We... Lived through... Another... Another... X period of time time?"
"I motherfucker Angela!...Hiccup! Fuck it... shit Corporation! Let us... stand up!"
Originally leaning on X's body, most of the force was added to X's body and Netzach suddenly overwhelmed X. X was forced to take on Netzach's weight completely.
Even though it looks like a 2D character, the Corporation AI's actual weight is much higher than that of a normal human.
"We should, should... No, the future... Like this... Crazy fun! Hey hey, so excited!!!"
"That's not right... We were originally... We have no future... Ah? Ha ha ha ha... Right!! Why don't you come enjoy it a bit?"
Netzach's face was unusually red. She looked down and stared at X, then stopped at X's black uniform, planning to untie the knot on her collar.
"Am I being punished... for my sins? Did I... Go to Hell? My god! I repent to you!! I give you... Hiccup!!!"
Liquid flowed from the corner of Netzach's mouth. Although she said "repent" in her mouth, there was no sign of repentance at all. The movement in her hand aggravated it, stroking the wrinkles on the hem of X's shirt.
"Netzach?
Why are you repenting to me? If you want to repent, you can go to [One Sin and Hundreds of Good Deeds] there, I am not [One Sin and Hundreds of Good Deeds]."
After listening to more than half of the nonsense, X finally couldn't hold it in anymore, is this Netzach trying to... plot trouble?
And when X shouted like that, Netzach's mind seemed to clear up a bit.
"My god..... This must be a dream... A nightmare, a nightmare... There must be... There is a way... Wake up... Someone come quickly and save me ..."
Netzach muttered to herself like she was suffering from mental illness. She had always seemed to not care about anything, but now she was suddenly crying.
——AI can cry? Is this a joke...?
X was flustered, no longer caring about what Netzach had just done, thinking about what she had just said.
—— Did I accidentally scold Netzach too harshly...?
X was a bit unsure of what to do, how can she know AI can also be sad and cry.
"Netzach... Don't cry, I was no good just now... Don't be angry with me."
X clumsily comforted her, but it didn't help, thinking about a way to make up for it... Netzach took the opportunity to get closer to X, gesturing for an intimate hug.
"Is this okay... Good, don't cry, Netzach, you're too embarrassing like this."
But X misunderstood what she meant. She kissed Netzach's face, and immediately, Netzach's already blushing face became even redder.
"... That's not bad.... Ah heh heh."
Although it would be wrong, in the end the effect was achieved. Netzach stopped crying and began to laugh innocently, but X did not realize that there was anything wrong.
