"What do you mean you let the mother and the child get away!? She is the one who beat Alan up!" The man yells angrily at his subordinates, the two bodyguards lower their heads, not daring to look up.
"My apologies, sir…but she…has the ring, with the insignia of…The Ottoman," one of the guards said, hoping to stop his boss's ire, but contrary to his expectation, the boss just got angrier.
"That obviously is fake! What do those Earth's dogs even do on a remote colony like this! Find them! Get them to me! Or I will make you pay instead!" With his words, the two bodyguards quickly get out of the room.
Being left alone, the man let out a sigh as the headache from today's incidents acted up again.
He reached his hand for the cabinet and grabbed a cigar, cutting it up and lighting it. Quickly taking a huff of the cigar, he pushed out the smoke with a satisfied smile.
But before he could even take another huff, three slow knocks came from his door.
Sighing, he put out the cigar and cleared the smoke in the room. "Come in." he said, the door opened up slowly, and the one poking their little head out to see is his daughter.
"Ah, Papa!" She quickly jumped out of the door and came up to his lap. The man quickly lifted her up.
"My my, what the matter, Sylvia?" he said as he ruffled the young girl's hair.
"I found a toy I want!" said his daughter.
He stares at his little girl, "Oh! Is that so? Tell Papa what you want, and Papa will get it for you!" His little girl never had something she ever wanted, so this was a first, as a father he needed to accommodate her request as much as possible.
His daughter, Sylvia grins. "Well, it was a little Robot that could talk, roll around on the dirt, and even push out a gust of air to fly! Its shape was round, and the eye was a bit glowy too!" She said, using her hand to make the shape of the robot.
"Oh, is that so? Where did you see it? Or is there a drawing?" he asked.
"Yup! I have a drawing of it over here!" She took the drawing out of the little backpack of art supplies she always carried. It was a drawing of a round robot, just as she described. As always, the drawing was so detailed, but there was something else, too. A girl was holding the robot.
"Hmm? Who is this girl, Sylvia?" He asks.
"Hmm? Oh! She is the girl I told you about that day! She has really pretty hair!"
"Oh?" So this is the girl that got lost in their garden a few years ago? "So why did you draw her with the robot?"
"Hm? Oh! She is with the robot! It follows her everywhere, too!" Ah, so she is the robot's owner. But he had never seen a robot like this before; even those AI toys there weren't of this design.
"Ok, Papa will get it for you, so why don't you go and play with your brothers?"
"Ehhh, but they are boring!"
"Come on, your brothers are hurt. Go play with them, " Sylvia said but reluctantly went away. As she left, the man let out a sigh and started to make some phone calls.

"Mmh, mhhm hmmm." Humming to a familiar tune, right now, I was inspecting Haro, checking his program, and seeing if there were any upgrades I should make. I'm in a very good mood today. Well, I have been in a good mood all week now.
Why? Well, after that little incident at the park, Mama has been tending to my every whim, if I want a hug, she will give it to me, if I want to eat ice cream she will buy it, if I want to spend time together, she will spend time together with me.
So I have been using every excuse whether it is how I feel hurt in the head, feeling weird about my leg, or something. She will be with me. Well, I need to get better eventually but I will use my time here to be pampered by Mama to the fullest.
I feel a sudden warmth in my heart as if to say that I shouldn't overdo these kinds of things and that it is a bad and very abusive behavior, and of course, I know that. I just want to enjoy this while it lasts.
"Don't worry, I won't do it too much," I said, trying to calm down my heart, "I just want to be pampered a bit, that was all." hearing my words, my beating heart slowly calmed down and the warm feeling disappeared.
"Alright, Haro. Let's go downstairs." I said to Haro, who jumped out of his charging station, to follow after me.
[ Get snacks? Get Snack? ]
He asked, well, I have been eating a lot of snacks lately. "Yeah, let's go get some snacks."
[ Snack! Snack! ]
I open the door and Haro goes ahead of me, sliding down the handle of the stair with ease due to Automatic Balancing which I program into him. I follow after him slowly, as I reach the kitchen, opening up the fridge to see a bunch of little snacks there.
I pick up some gummies, though I hate them, and go to the living room to open up the news.
As I switch from channel to channel, I suddenly come to a stop. Watching as flame erupts and a large Mobile Suit, shoots their gun at… civilians…
[ This is one of the videos we managed to capture of the dangerous Mob's Mobile Suit, shooting at civilians, The Mob known as a Red Rebel, the mob claimed that it comes to liberate Metalica from the control of Earth Corporation by destroying the place that was own by Earth corpo, those places include Elementary school, hospital, Bank and many more. The number of casualties is still rising but is estimated to be at least five thousand.]
I stop the news, and change the channel… "The fact that Metalica, which is relatively close to the earth, got attacked like this… no, stop thinking Yoha, It is just speculation, there is nothing you can do and there is nothing you need to do." I stop myself from having thought and ignore the burning feeling inside my heart.
"Yoha! I'm back!"
"Mama!" Quickly changing the channel I jump out of the Sofa to hug Mama at the door, completely ignoring the feeling in my heart.

"Yoha! Come downstairs for a bit!" Mama yells out from Downstairs. I stopped what I was doing.
"Welp, you heard her Haro, let go." Haro jumped out of my lap and rolled on the floor. Together, we got downstairs. "What do you want, Mama?" I ask her as Haro jumps down the stairs.
"Ah!" Instead of landing on the floor, Haro lands in the arms of a girl. A girl with Ashen gray hair.
Immediately, my smile turns into a frown, as my eyes stare at the girl who happily hails Haro up in the air. I turn to Mama who has trouble expressing herself. "What is the meaning of this? How did she know where we live? And why is she here?" I know that I shouldn't be doing this, turning my irritation toward Mama, but I can't help it right now, I can't contain the feeling inside me right now.
My heart said for me to calm down but I couldn't. Just looking at her I could feel the hatred I felt for that bastard.
"Calm down Yoha, There is…uh…Adult reason for this." Mama said into my ear, and I…slowly calmed down a bit. "Well, to put it lightly, you will be her friend from now on. So She will come over to play every week or well…up to her whim."
"And…pray tell why I should be her friend?" I ask, my voice turning a bit cold without realizing it.
Mama looked at me for a bit before sighing, "Do it for me, Yoha." With just her words alone, All the feelings in my heart disappeared, and I calmed down a bit…right, if I do this for her, I will be considered a good girl, and she will praise me and pamper me if I befriend this girl then…
"Alright…I…will try," I said, trying to appear as if I was still hesitating.
"Thank you, Yoha." Mama ruffled my head a bit, which made me very happy, so if I can get a head pat again then just tolerating this girl will be enough.
After a satisfying head pat from Mama, I turned toward the girl with Ashen gray hair who was talking to Haro.
Seeing her like this…how can I befriend this girl…?
"Ha…guess I will just let her play first…" With that thought in my mind, I just sit down next to her and tune my head to only listen to the important bit as she plays with Haro.
