There was still some time before nightfall. During this time, I decided to go see Hela. I didn’t know how this guy was doing now.
"The guy said it was in the master bedroom. It was originally your room, but because you were away from the base for a long time, the guy took it over without permission."
So I got clues about Hela from Zod.
Following the prompts, I walked through the corridor and came to the master bedroom door. I knocked on the door a little nervously. As for why I was nervous, it was probably because I was almost killed by this terrible woman not long ago.
"Yes, yes~~, it's coming, it's coming."
A familiar voice came from inside the door. It was indeed Hela's voice, but why did it feel like it had changed so much?
"Oh, it's you! Long time no see~~"
The woman who poked her head out of the door was undoubtedly Hela. When she saw it was me, she opened the door completely.
"I'm back……"
By the way, why are you only wearing underwear and a cape? And you’re wearing an eyepatch over your left eye? I really want to complain but I don’t know where to start.
The two plump and white giant objects dazzled me a little.
"Okay, okay, come in quickly, it's freezing outside."
Although Hela welcomed me into the room very politely, but since you know it’s cold, you should put on more clothes, you idiot!!
"Um."
In the end, he entered the room without saying anything.
"Welcome to my Demon King's Castle!"
Hela stood in the bedroom and introduced me very proudly.
I looked around the bedroom. There were cokes, potato chips, various drinks and snacks, comics, game consoles, figurines and pillows, two sets of C-suits that looked very expensive, and various otaku cultural items piled up.
Like a mountain, it can indeed be called a castle, in a sense.
"Hela, you...have changed."
This kind of Hela makes it completely impossible for me to associate with the cold, arrogant, and monster-like woman from before.
"Eh? Are you talking about this eye patch? This is to seal my overpowering power as the Demon King..."
"No, I mean in every way..."
She used to call herself a god, but now she has become a devil. She is completely a middle-aged girl. However, because she looks like a sexy and mature beauty, it is not appropriate to call her a girl.
"Well, well, human culture is really interesting. I have been affected by it to a certain extent, but it's not a bad feeling."
Hela crossed her hands on her chest and nodded contentedly, but this was not just a little affected at all.
"So you're just squatting in your room all the time now?"
"How rude, I'm working too!"
"real?"
"Of course it is."
"What job?"
"It's basically maintenance and updates of terminal systems."
"Terminal system?"
It seemed like something extraordinary had appeared.
"Look, wasn't there a hacker team among the people who worked for you before? I think their speed of collecting and transmitting information was too slow. It's better to say that they lacked an advanced terminal system that can perform hyper-threading autonomous calculations.
, with such a highly intelligent system as the core of the network, the efficiency will probably be improved a lot, so I mercifully helped them design a terminal system that is ahead of this era."
Hela patted her chest and replied proudly.
"Can such a thing be done?"
I'm not sure that something like this, which can be said to be a technological revolution, can be created so easily?
"Of course, you have to know that this brain of mine is equipped with wisdom beyond human beings. This trivial matter is completely out of the question!"
Hela proudly put her hands on her hips and declared that she was extremely narcissistic. However, if what she said is true, then she is indeed qualified to say these words.
Although I experienced many dangers and bad things, the crystallization of extraordinary wisdom that emerged from it was Hela. Once again, I realized that the woman in front of me was beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding.
However, I didn’t expect that it would be influenced by otaku culture.
"There is a banquet going to be held around eight o'clock tonight. Remember to come. Zod will tell you the details."
Hey, it's useless to think too much. No matter how hard I try to become stronger, maybe I still belong to the realm of mortals after all. I probably can't fully understand Hela's thoughts. However, I don't think she is essentially a bad guy.
"Oh! The party! I will definitely go!"
When I heard the word "banquet", I became excited. I was as happy as a child. No, I should say that I am really a child. Although my body is that of an adult, I am born as an artificial super-intelligent life form.
for a short time.
Cold, arrogant, casual and lazy now, which face is her real face? Maybe it is both.
As an artificial super-intelligent life form, Hela has a very long lifespan and does not age. As a mortal, I may not be able to accompany her for a long time. One day I will grow old and die, and I am a little worried about her future.
But that's something I can't do anything about. Maybe if I leave it alone, she will grow up slowly and find her own way.
...Although that may be the case, but now that I still have some free time, let’s spend a little more time with her.
"Want to come and play games?"
Tried sending an invitation.
"Oh? You can also play games, what a surprise."
"No, I'm more surprised."
So before the dinner arrived, I kept competing in various games. I felt the joy of being a teenager for a long time, as if I had returned to the era when I played games online with my friends.
When it was almost time for the dinner, Zod came over and knocked on the door to remind us. Because Hela and I were too focused on playing games, we didn't hear Zod's voice for a while, and the door was unlocked, so Zod came right in.
"So you also like to play games."
That's why Zod said to me with a surprised look on his face on the way to the banquet restaurant on the second floor.
"I'm a human being too. What's weird about having some hobbies?"
"Because you are usually either on adventures or on the road to adventure. You have never had much leisure time. I thought you were the kind of person who rarely enjoys pleasure and likes battles and crises."
"you think too much."
This is nothing. Although what you said is indeed reasonable, it only became like this due to various reasons. You must know that not long ago, I was just an ordinary person looking for a job!
"Including me, no one in the family knows what you were like in the past, so it's only natural that they would think so."
This seems to be the case, but none of this is important!
"Rather than these, I'm a little nervous about what to say later."
In the heat of the moment, I forgot to write the lines in my speech script. Although I have no experience speaking in front of many people, I will still be nervous if I am nervous. It will be embarrassing if I can't say anything by then.
"Although you say this, there is no trace of nervousness on your face. Anyway, you are the leader, so you can just say what you want. We are all a family. As long as you say it, everyone will understand."
Zod waved his hand to reassure me and just perform appropriately.
Really, that would really make you feel more at ease.
