"You should be thinking about what expression to use to see me~"
"meet you?"
"If I guess correctly, it should be."
"How did he meet you?"
"Then I need your cooperation, kid."
"What? You mean...meet him in my appearance?"
"My child, you are the ideal version of me. There is nothing wrong with borrowing your appearance."
"How can it be okay? I am his daughter! Now you are telling me to pretend to be his wife?"
"Kid, you don't need to play me, because I'm right here."
"No, no! This body is mine! I can't lend it to you! I can't accept this!"
"But kid, you alone can't convince your father. I have to come on stage."
"What! In his mind, aren't you already dead?"
"Hey~ I'm so sad when you say that. It's true that girls who lack maternal love will grow crooked~~~"
"In short, I will not allow you to use my body! Father, he doesn't know that you are resurrected, so you don't need to come out. I will try to convince him!"
"You're wrong, kid. Your father knows about me. In fact, he has never really given up on me."
"What?"
"It is my wish to give birth to you, and it is also my wish to accompany you to grow up. Although I was a security program at the time and had no self-awareness at all, your father still allowed me to stay with you, which fulfilled my wish.
.Although he knew it was impossible, he still left a monitoring program that would notify him once I regained consciousness. So now, do you still think he doesn’t know my existence?”
"You...you..."
"Um?"
"Are you just playing with your daughter's body like this? Am I not a human being? Where is my personal dignity!"
Raeder was so angry that she yelled regardless.
"Oh my god! My child, please don't talk nonsense! We are just placing hope on you, not messing around! Don't say such strange things!"
"What nonsense am I talking about! You say you love me and love me, but in the end you still treat me as a tool to continue your relationship. Then what's the point of my life! Isn't it the same as being a robot between you two!
"
"Of course it's different! You are my daughter, and the meaning of my life is to create a world that is more suitable for you. Could it be that you can only see me borrowing your body to express my thoughts, but can't you see that I have no reservations about you?"
pay?"
Mr. Concern suddenly appeared and yelled at his daughter, his tone full of anger.
"Ah? No...no, father, I know how much you have done for me, but I'm not...I didn't!"
Raeder had never seen her father with such vivid emotions. Her anger was instantly frozen by the cold air, the operating frequency of her thinking module also dropped rapidly, and her brain became dysfunctional due to fear. Originally, she was angry only because she felt that her dignity was being violated.
In order to destroy her, she actually knew how much her parents had sacrificed for her. Now that her father was yelling at her, Raeder, who bullied others and was afraid of others, instantly withered.
"Mr. Concern, you look more energetic after changing your clothes. It suits my taste. Did you neglect it just now?"
The knight's words sounded like a joke, but there was no emotion at all, at least most people couldn't hear the emotion.
"Ms. Sai, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to make such a joke now. I can't bear it."
The rich man frowned and adjusted the tie on his white dress uncomfortably.
"Mr. Concern, I have some bad news for you. Your daughter is not willing to lend her body."
"It doesn't matter. I respect her wishes in this matter and will never force her."
The wealthy man glanced at his daughter. There was no longer blame in his eyes, but some complicated emotions.
"Why do you have to do these things if you are already prepared?"
"I think these are necessary. Even if we can't talk directly, it's good for her to see it. I've done too many things to make her angry before. After a long absence, I have to find a way to make her happy."
The rich man adjusted his tie again, but in fact it was not crooked at all.
"Are you happy?"
Sai asked Raeder.
"Ah? What?"
The girl, whose outlook on life was shattered by her father's strange behavior, couldn't figure out the situation, so naturally she didn't know what Sai was asking.
"I'm not happy. This outfit is still the same style I chose for him more than a hundred years ago. There are no surprises at all."
Lecia replied in the communication channel.
"Uh...you're asking her?"
Only then did Raeder understand what was going on.
"She said it was OK, but it lacked anything new."
Sai fed back the processed words to Mr. Concern.
"Well...the culture and art in recent years have gone a bit wrong. I think the latest fashion is not to her taste."
The rich man seemed a little embarrassed and coughed very exaggeratedly, but normal Cybermen would not cough at all.
"Ask him what else he has prepared for me."
Lecia asked.
"She asked you if you have any other surprises."
"Of course, of course there are other gifts. I prepared her favorite tulips."
The rich man lifted up the white cloth on the automatic transport vehicle, and Raeder could see clearly what was on it. It was a bouquet of white tulips.
"so little?"
"She thinks it's too little."
"Well...you have to know that it is not easy to find flowers in this era. I spent a lot of money to cultivate these flowers. The reason for delaying time was to prepare these. I have tried my best."
The rich man turned his face away, as if he was ashamed.
"Okay, it's better than nothing, isn't it? This era is terrible anyway, so being able to prepare such a gift counts as a pass."
"She accepted your surprise."
"Oh...that's good, that's good."
The rich man touched his big back head made of artificial materials, with a faint look of joy on his face.
"Father smiled? Father, he actually...can laugh?"
Raeder quickly calibrated her visual module and found that she was not wrong, and her father did show a smile.
"Look, I'm not lying to you, that guy does retain emotions. I know him, he has something that he absolutely cannot abandon."
Lecia showed off proudly.
"But why...why would father...you would never come back under normal circumstances, why would he still..."
"Because he has to love you. How can you love without feelings?"
"He can use rational processes to control himself, just like he controls other people..."
"No, he can't, because you are his daughter, and he cannot regard loving you as a task. He must do it from the heart, because he is your father, no matter what."
"But……"
"There is no but, my child, you may not understand what love is, but you have always been loved."
"Then...what should I do now?"
"What do you mean."
"I don't know how to face this... strange father... I want to run away!"
"You can't run away from your child. This is the true face of your father. You can only accept it."
"I... it's too weird, I can't accept it, I can't accept it... I..."
