"Stop joking, why is it me during such an important period?"
That night, Maho's junior, Chris, kept talking to himself.
Go to graduate school at Victor University, where Maho and Chris agree to a graduate school
Therefore, Maho would hear Chris's soliloquy, which exuded an unhappy aura, no matter what.
If he talked to himself a little bit, it would be bearable, but the jam has been like this since the morning, making it impossible for Maho to concentrate on his research.
Feeling bored, Maho stopped the paper the audience was writing.
"Hey, I'm talking about Chris."
Basically, English is the universal language at Victor University, and it is natural for other researchers and professors to communicate in English together.
But when interacting with Chris, Maho mostly uses his native dialect.
"It's time to stop."
"Ah, what's the matter?"
Hesitating at Maho's reminder, the assistant who was packing his luggage came to his senses.
It's too noisy and I can't concentrate. This paper must be submitted to the professor tomorrow.
"Can it be said that I am talking to myself?"
"How about I sue you for noise pollution?"
"sorry."
After waking up, Chris lowered his head.
In order to calm down, Maho stood up, walked to the bookcase containing information, and took out relevant documents from it.
But the most important documents are at the top of the bookcase.
Hey!
This must be a prank from someone, thinking so, Maho looked at the thick book above with resentful eyes.
She made up her mind to reach out, but no matter how much she stretched her arms, she couldn't reach it at all.
Maho looked at himself stretching out his hand as thin as a dead tree in vain and bit his lip.
After skipping a grade to enter university, especially after entering this laboratory, she became more and more embarrassed about her small size.
If you take a walk after the sun goes down, you will definitely be stopped. You can't enter the bar without showing proof. Even if you go to a convenience store, you can't simply buy something.
What made her feel most humiliated was that no matter where she went, she would be mistaken for a middle school student. Even if she said she was 20 years old, no one would believe her.
Having said that, this is the case no matter what.
"Well, let me get it for you."
Chris noticed Maho's crisis situation and hurriedly handed him over, but Maho was brave and answered calmly.
"It's okay, I'm not embarrassed or anything."
"Aren't you in trouble?"
"No."
"Really?"
"real."
Chris smiled; "But I also have books I want to get."
After saying that, she simply reached to the top and took down the book that Maho wanted.
"It's good to be taller."
"No, I'm not that tall either."
Chris noticed that he said something he couldn't say and moved his hands to his mouth.
"Thank you. It's very helpful. If you need anything, just tell me and I will give it to you."
"Okay, thank you very much." Chris handed the book to Maho. After that, he suddenly thought of something and his eyes sparkled.
"Senior, regarding what you just said."
"Ah, what happened just now?"
"Things you talk to yourself about."
"Hey, oh."
Chris seemed to suddenly think of a new store. This back always does this, and Maho is used to it.
"Isn't that a proof of self?"
"ai?"
"right.
"Indeed, it would bother me if the child suddenly started talking to himself."
No matter how excellent the artificial intelligence is, it cannot talk to itself as long as it does not weave related programs. Having said that, this function is neither meaningful nor necessary.
The reappearance of talking to oneself may become a means of observing self-discovery, but it is still difficult for Maho to agree with this idea with both hands.
"This is not nonsense here. The soul is something given to human beings by God. Don't forget that there are many people who hold this idea."
"That's right."
Chris's sparkling expression just now turned gloomy in an instant.
Chris and Maho are both very present at the institute.
Both of them are very good, but even so, they will not show it openly. Most of the people who study Senior Yun keep a respectful distance from them.
Thanks to the care of the professor, Maho and Chris, they were able to conduct research smoothly. If they had heard the speech just now, I don't know how much they would be blamed.
Maho patted Chris on the shoulder.
"Just go and relax for a while."
"That's what I can't accept."
"Why do I think life there is very good?"
"If you want to study abroad, you should be in a graduate school, why in a high school?"
"There's nothing I can do about it. I'm only old enough to go to high school. Please obey the professor's kindness."
The real sail sounded from
The professor has heard that because Chris is a bit neurotic and holding each other back, the accumulated pressure has reached the limit, and he will not be a good researcher if this continues.
The professor is so worried about this.
"And I have to go back to Neon in July, isn't it just right?"
"Well, actually this is a bit melancholy."
"It seems to be the Akihabara Forum?"
"I'm not used to giving speeches, so I don't know what to do."
"After all, you published a paper in a magazine, so give it a little practice."
"It's really annoying."
Chris muttered alone. Maho understood Chris's mood because she was not good at acting in front of many people, but she published papers in authoritative magazines and gave lectures to many people. She defeated so many researchers and got the honor.
, he must be jealous.
In order to prevent others around you from gossiping, you must fulfill your own responsibilities.
Even so, his character might be distorted, and Maho felt a little self-loathing when he thought about it.
Maybe among these extreme researchers, I am also included. Maho often has this feeling that is almost fearful.
The talented girl in front is so different from Maho that no matter how hard she tries to catch up, she cannot touch her.
In the blink of an eye, he was left behind.
"senior?"
At Chris's incredulous expression, Maho was stunned.
"Is that going to Neon's parents' meeting?"
I heard that Chris's parents were not divorced but were in a police station. Only his father lived in Neon.
As soon as he spoke, Maho reflected on whether he had gone too far into other people's privacy, but Chris did seem a little shy.
"Actually, an invitation letter was sent from my father."
oh?
"It is said that in the summer there will be new theories that need to be divided."
"new?"
Chris had a somewhat embarrassed look on his little face.
"I haven't heard about it in detail yet. It seems to be something related to the theory of relativity."
The vague statement made Maho feel why, so he didn't delve further.
"Anyway, be careful on the road, I'll be looking forward to your gift."
"What gift is better?"
"Well, it's rare for you to go to Akihabara. It would be great if there is something strange. Akihabara must be familiar with you."
"Why?"
"Don't you always watch this during your break?"
"Did the AI tell you?"
"That kid wouldn't do that. Sometimes you sit behind me but don't notice me."
"Ah, I didn't expect that it would be exposed. I really hate that I was careless."
Very rarely, Chris held his head.
Looking at her appearance, Maho was surprised from the bottom of his heart.
"Senior, please keep this secret from others."
"I don't think it's something you should be concerned about."
I don’t know why, but I’m very happy to be able to share my secret with Chris.
"I know, I won't tell you."
"It helped a lot."
Looking at Chris who was relieved, Maho said, "When you come back from Neon, let's verify whether the AI can talk to itself."
Chris agreed with joy from the bottom of his heart. This was an innate scientific expression that he couldn't help but love exploring unknown things.
Just like a child with a toy, innocent and beautiful.
Maho likes this kind of back very much.
but.
The agreement between Maho and Chris was not fulfilled in the end.
Not only that, it was even impossible to meet in person.
....,
Since Maho came to Neon, the number of calls like this from Chris has increased day by day.
Is this because you can communicate with Chris from AI here or something else.
Or is it because of meeting a person named Lin Xiao?
I don’t know, does anyone know Chris?
Recalling that I shed tears in front of him when they first met, recalling this shy Maho, I quickly stopped reminiscing.
"Were you thinking about Mr. Lin Xiao just now?"
Maho was startled and looked at the computer screen.
"Hehehe."
Maho is talking to Chris.
"um, yes."
Maho shrugged and brushed off Chris's teasing smile.
"Don't you think it's incredible? The professor values him so much and gives you access to someone you've only met twice. Is it really okay to trust him so much?"
"He seems like an honest man."
"Really? I have no idea whether he is motivated or not," Maho said.
"Like it?"
"You."
Maho couldn't help but stand up and lean on the computer screen, but Chris looked refreshed.
"There is no need to hide it."
"After all, we were in front of him yesterday, so there is nothing we can do. There are only two of us now."
Chris seems to be very rigid, but he unexpectedly likes this kind of scandal, so calling it a scandal is more like a conversation between best friends.
Maho sighed and sat on the chair.
In the office where they were alone, the sound of office chairs sounded.
"I really feel that way. Even I don't fully understand what kind of person Lin Xiao is."
"I see, that's what you said."
Chris accepted it calmly, but he still couldn't let go of Maho's words.
"I just care a little bit."
"Where?"
"No, nothing happened."
From yesterday to today, Maho put his research aside and wondered whether Chris and Lin Xiao had any kind of relationship.
What kind of life did Chris live before his death?
It is necessary to go to Lin Xiao to confirm.
"Senior, do my Yuan Yuan and Mr. Lin Xiao know each other?"
Maho was stunned as if he had seen through his heart.
"How do you know?"
"According to Mr. Lin Xiao's words and the reaction of my seniors, although there is only indirect evidence, do I want to prove it to you?"
"No need, if it were you, there wouldn't even be room for refutation."
They were talking about words like proof, but Chris and Maho were both science people.
"Only the other party has the memory of me together, so it is very likely that there will be inconsistencies in the conversation."
"It's up to you to decide what to do when talking to him."
"Maybe he will take the initiative, or you can just take the initiative to ask." Maho said.
I still don’t know whether Lin Xiao will talk to the AI, because the conversation is not mandatory.
"Well, if you pretend you don't know, it's like lying. I feel like you'll get interesting information."
Yes, it is indeed interesting, Maho thought, but it is an opinion on AI research, but what is it to Lin Xiao?
This was not an act to rub salt into his heart. Thinking of this, Maho felt that he was too sensitive.
Is it really because of the arrival of Neon?
When it comes to Neon Week, she is considering laying flowers.
Despite this, Maho still hasn't been able to do it.
.....
In December, the sky darkens earlier and earlier.
When I was choosing products in the CSO store, I was not surprised when the scenery outside had already entered the night.
There was a heavy feeling as I pulled the trolley case, and all the things I bought today were stuffed into it.
The box was obviously bulging, but despite this, I was able to go shopping with friends who got to know each other because of cosplay. I had a very fulfilling holiday and felt refreshed on the way to the station.
"Fubuki, we're almost here." Mayu said.
"I know, because I bought a lot of things today and I'm very happy."
"Doquin, I can be happy even with you."
"For Mayu's sake, this is a small matter."
While answering, he moved towards his friend Mayu, but was cleverly avoided. Although Mayu looked dull, she actually had very good motor nerves.
By the way, Fubuki is the name of Katsumi’s cosplayer.
Kemei is a sophomore in high school. Compared with Mayu of the same year, she is more boyish and sporty. If she wears men's cosplay, there are more women than men among the photographers surrounding her.
"This way, Motivation CM doesn't have to worry."
On this day, four friends, not included, went to several cos stores in Akihabara in order to buy materials for making cos costumes.
This is all prepared for the end of the year motivation cm.
"Although that's the case, it's just you, so don't force it."
The one who spoke with worry was Feng, a female college student. Although Feng was very feminine, the three of them were of the same standard as models.
The university invited her to participate in beauty pageants many times, but she always refused on the grounds that the event was too scary.
"In this case, let's take this opportunity to help Mayu make clothes."
"Awan Yuki, I would like to suggest that a woman with regular facial features and an overall friendly atmosphere is considered a very beautiful person. Her emerald-green eyes sparkle with the feeling that she is not an ordinary beauty, but makes her feel beautiful.
People feel friendly.”
"I am a senior student. I once concentrated on finding a job and retired from cosplay. However, within half a year I lost my temper and revived my interest."
"I see, I'm sorry to ask for your help." Mayu said.
