"Since this is a production base for edible fish, will there be anything left?" The boy said as he climbed the stairs.

He came to the half-track, looking for something to use tonight.

“…… Clothes...... Towel...... There are also sleeping bags...... Looks like I'm going to sleep there today. Anyway, bring a sleeping bag! Anyway, it's the first time I've used this kind of sleeping bag in a can! The boy took out three army-green sleeping bags and said.

After collecting his things, he returned along the same route, taking a closer look at the endangered animal again on the way.

"In other words, human beings are also a kind of endangered animals! It doesn't feel real! Those giant pandas locked up in the zoo must be in this mood! It's just that they still have people to feed, and we have to find less and less food on our own! And no other creature would come up with a list of protected animals to include humans. …… It's really annoying! War or something. The boy stayed in front of the glass wall for a few moments before taking another step towards the sink room.

The robot skillfully takes the feed from the jar and throws it into the tank, while the fish jumps into the air like an acrobatic performance and catches the fish food thrown with its mouth, and the two sides seem to be in perfect harmony.

"Oooh! That's amazing! ”

Yuri and Chido had already finished swimming, and were sitting on the edge of the sink watching this scene, constantly exclaiming themselves.

After eating the fish food, the fish falls into the water with a pop......

"This fish doesn't usually jump out of the water, it's supposed to be a sudden mutation of this species............" the robot explained.

"Sudden mutation ......?" Qianhu asked.

"BUGS CAUSED BY MISCOMMUNICATION OF INSTRUCTIONS...... Although this is also one of the sources of evolution. The robot further explained.

"It's so hard to understand what the robot says............" For the first time, Chito felt that his brain was not enough.

"I really want to bake it and eat it!" Yuri stared at the fish with the gaze of a predator as always.

"It's all said it won't work!" Qianhu said speechlessly.

"Na------! Can you let me try that! Yuri pointed to the feed jar and said to the robot.

"Feeding? Yes! The robot said as he handed the jar over.

"Really? That's great. Yuri happily took the jar.

"I'm going to throw five more grains today."

"Okay! …… Wow! Yuri threw out five feeds in a row.

"Oooh!"

Yuri let out a cheer as she watched the fish leap into the air and catch it with her mouth again.

"Na! Can we be friends? Yuri was lying on the edge of the sink.

"How can predators and predators become friends......" Senhe complained speechlessly.

"I want to take you on a trip............"

"Hey! You're drooling! It's not convincing at all! Qianhu continued to complain.

"Yuri, Chino, I'm back. Here's your clothes and your sleeping bag for tonight............ "The boy came to the fishpond and said to the two girls.

"Oh! Did you see the floating wave sauce? The movement of the fish just now ............," Yuri exclaimed excitedly.

"I just saw it! Anyway, what kind of fish is this, I've always wanted to ask! ”

"I don't know the specific species, I'm just a management robot, responsible for managing fish farming!" The robot said.

"No matter what kind of fish you are, it's always delicious!" Yuri said with a drool.

"Hey! What about being friends? Qianhu complained.

"Being friends and eating fish are two different things! Sen-chan. ”

"No, no, no! Definitely the same thing! You, in particular, would definitely eat that fish under the pretext of being friends. ”

"That's exactly what Yuri said! After all, it's very greedy! The boy said approvingly.

“…… It won't be like that............" Yuri said with a red face, probably not even believing what she said!

"Forget it! It's getting late, so let's have dinner first and get ready for bed! Chinohe said as he took the backpack with the food in it and took out the biscuits he had baked before.

"Well! It's too late. The boy said.

"Whoa! This is Yuri's ...... It's the ............ of the floating waves," Chido said, handing the biscuit to the two of them.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you!"

The three of them ate food while leaning against the warm water pipe.

“………… All right! Let's sleep. Chiho said to the two of them who had already finished dinner.

"If you want to sleep, you can go under the pipes over there, and there is a ...... with warm water in it," the robot suggested.

"Thank you for the suggestion, we'll be ............," the teenager thanked.

"Indeed! It's warm down there. I don't even need a sleeping bag! But I've been thinking about it before, you're really like you're alive, you're just a robot......" Chido said.

"In order for us to be able to communicate with humans, we have a capability called empathy......" the robot explains.

"What is empathy......

"To put it simply...... If you are happy, I will be happy......"

"What an amazing ability!" The boy sighed.

"You~~ said that it's very warm down there, so you can put away the sleeping bag!" Chiho said to Yuri, who was about to get into her sleeping bag.

"Huh~~~? I'm looking forward to sleeping in my sleeping bag. ”

"Forget it! Yuri, let's use a sleeping bag next time, it's still quite warm here, and if you use a sleeping bag, you probably won't be able to sleep in the heat. ”

"Well! Since Fubo-chan has said so, there is no way to do it! Yuri helplessly spread her hands and lay down beside Qianhu.

"So............ Good night! Two people. "The boy and the girl fell asleep.

"Good night! Floating wave (sauce). The girls also said.

The three of them fell asleep one after another after saying goodnight............

"Ping! Ping! Bang! ”

"What's the sound?" Chiho rubbed his eyes and said.

"A thousand households! Wake up Yuri, it's the giant robot! The boy called anxiously.

I saw that the robot I encountered before topped the steel plate of the partition wall and walked into the sink room, and with the collapse of the steel plate, a lot of equipment was crushed into parts and scattered on the ground.

"Yu! Wake up! Qianhu called out hurriedly, while the boy stood aside and watched carefully.

"Hmm............"

"What's going on............ Yuri said, waking up and looking at the mess.

"Yuri! Look at that! The boy reminded.

"Oooh! It's that giant robot! Yuri said, glancing in the direction of the boy.

"Why are you ...... here?" said Chino, a little scared.

"It seems to be demolishing the facilities of this generation...... the teenager replied.

"Why?"

“…… It seems that some useless facilities have been dismantled in order to ensure the stockpiling of materials......" said the robot.

"What then?" Qianhu said.

“…… I'll ask! ”

As he spoke, the robot walked towards the giant construction robot. The two robots are constantly communicating with each other with flashing lights......

"Can you talk to him?" Qianhu asked.

"Can ......"

"And what was the result?" Yuri then asked.

"Yes! He said he was going to demolish it............"

"Isn't that fish just ......" Qianhu was a little excited.

"I suggested to him to stop the job, but he was refused!" The robot continued.

"How so?" The teenager was a little surprised.

"The demolition list seems to include almost every facility in the area, as if the city itself has serious bugs......" the robot continued.

“bug…… Is this one of the sources of evolution............" Qianhu asked blankly.

"If you want to call the subsequent creation premised on destruction evolution......

"Nope! This can only be called destruction. The boy said.

"Na! Sen-chan, floating wave sauce...... Let's go save the fish! Yuri said.

"Huh?! …… What to do...... "Thousand households are at a loss.

"I can't do it............" the robot said, looking down.

"But you guys can probably do ............"

The three of them began to put on their gear......

"Aren't you going to eat it?" Chiho asked Yuri curiously.

"I don't know why, I just want to save it............" Yuri said after a moment's thought.

"Sure enough, Yuri is still very kind." The boy said.

"We have explosives, but what should we do exactly?" Qianhu asked.

"Half of the explosives here should be sufficient...... As long as the detonation is set up in his torso, it will stop him by destroying his internal structure! The robot looked at the explosives and said.

"But...... How do you get there? Qianhu asked again.

"The path from the ceiling should be fine! There is a staircase to climb up from the corner! Yuri said.

"Are you okay?"

"No problem! Okay, I'm leaving! Yuri said as she was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" The boy stopped.

“？”

"Let me go! You and Senhu are ready to detonate! The boy said as he took the explosives from Yuri.

"But it's because I'm trying to save the fish......" Yuri said excitedly.

"It's okay! We're family, aren't we? Your will is no different from mine. All right! I'll go back as soon as I go. With that, the boy ran to the stairs.

"Helping that fish doesn't seem to do you any good!" The robot asked.

"Well! I don't know what this guy thinks......" Chido said, patting Yuri on the shoulder.

“…… Probably, I've already considered fish friends! Yuri said worriedly as she looked at the boy's distant back.

"Na! If you destroy that huge robot, will it be equivalent to killing him............" Qianhu asked the robot.

"It depends on the definition of life...... the robot replied.

Life...... We are alive now...... That fish is alive too! Although neither the robot nor the fish can speak...... But I think I can relate to them...... This is probably because they are alive too! Chiho thought as he looked at the boy who had already run to the passage on the ceiling.

"The location is just right!"

The boy said as he looked at the huge robot that was just under the pathway. He used a rope to connect himself to the pathway, and a jump landed on the back of the giant robot............

"Floating waves! Hurry, hurry! That guy is going to be here soon! Chito called out to the boy.

"It's still time to ............" The teenager placed the explosives on the robot's back and inserted the fuse............

"I'm sorry!" As he spoke, he was about to throw the detonator to the thousand households............

"Didi Didi~~ found the certificate of the superior and requested communication!"

"What is this?" The boy listened to the voice coming from his wrist, and the hand that threw the detonator stopped......

"What's wrong with the floating waves? Why did you stop? Yuri said anxiously.

"Looks like that giant robot has stopped too!" Chiho also said.

“…… The situation is unknown...... This is...... Superior? The robot suddenly called.

"The Superior?"

"The city was built with permissions just in case, and the authority of the superior is second only to the highest decision-maker........." the robot explained.

"Permissions? …… What is that? Yuri asked.

"I don't know......" Chido also said blankly.

"Didi Didi~~ found the certificate of the superior and requested communication!" The bracelet continued to call.

"Accept the communication!" The boy tried to say something.

“…… Communication begins...... No. 89756 Maintenance Autonomic Robot reports to you, Your Excellency! The bracelet made a sound.

“………… Is that you? The boy asked, turning to the head of the giant robot in front of him.

"Yes!" After the robot's indicator light flashed a few times, a sound came out of the bracelet.

“…… What do you want to say? ”

"The local management robot requested that the demolition operation be cancelled...... Ask the superior to make a decision! The bracelet sent out another sentence with the flashing of the robot indicator.

"As long as it's my decision, you'll listen?"

"The orders of those in authority are second only to those who make decisions, and no decision-makers have been found in the region...... Your order is absolute! ”

"In that case...... My decision was ............" the boy gave his own order to the bracelet............
