Mechanical lifeforms are weapons created by aliens, and the only order they receive is to destroy their enemies. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Even though the mechanical lifeforms later evolved on their own, in turn destroying their creators, they could not escape the shackles of this command after all, and only expanded the definition of "enemy".

But it is precisely because of the existence of this order that the mechanical lifeforms that have already been able to completely eradicate the androids in terms of strength have not exterminated the remnants of the androids. Mechanical lifeforms need to destroy their enemies, but in order to destroy them, they must have enemies - their enemies, i.e., androids, cannot be completely destroyed, and once they do, there are no instructions for mechanical lifeforms to follow.

In the eyes of human beings, this is not a problem at all, after killing the enemy, he happily develops himself, which is called a Bang'er Shuang~~ But you can't always look at it from the perspective of "humans", and mechanical life forms can't do it.

Of course, the mechanical life forms that discovered this paradox are also working on it, and the network of mechanical life forms has begun to deliberately disconnect some of the mechanical life forms from the network and let them evolve on their own, intending to use them as a model to break their own destiny in the future...... There are quite a few mechanical lifeforms that have been disconnected from the network around the world, but in the end, there are not many who seem to be different, and even fewer can break free from the order of [destroy the enemy] and find a new way out, and the "King of the Forest" in the forest kingdom is one of them.

“…… This is the 'King of the Forest'? Adam pointed to the mechanical creature lying in the stroller with a look of surprise.

When Leeds was sitting in Gundam to find trouble with the android higher-ups, Adam, who was guided by Leeds (fooled by Leeds), came to the Forest Kingdom to meet the "King of the Forest". The process went smoothly, and the soldiers of the forest kingdom did not embarrass Adam, who was also a mechanical life form and polite, and even after realizing that Adam's wisdom was far beyond his own, they took him all the way to the castle in the depths of the kingdom without even taking any precautions, so that Adam could see the king as soon as possible.

It's just that!

The king doesn't have hands or feet, and he can't say what the hell it is?!

"King, dead." Among the guards gathered in the main hall, a mechanical lifeform suspected to be the captain of the guard stepped forward and gently shook the stroller made of rusty metal sheets, "We will back up the king's information and put it on the baby." ”

“…… That's what happened. Adam finally understood.

Mechanical lifeforms only need to replace parts regularly to survive forever, and even if they don't replace parts, they can survive until the day when key parts fail, and the need to survive is very low. As long as they weren't articulation from the sky, they would have been able to maintain the status quo, and in that sense, it didn't matter if the king had been half-dead like this.

"But why, ......," all the mechanical beings looked at the king in the stroller at the sound of 'babbling', "why is it that after hundreds of years, the king still hasn't grown up?" ”

"It's never going to grow because we're mechanical beings, not humans." It is not surprising to Adam that this is the common phenomenon of mechanical beings imitating humans, and they will not be able to see their own objective conditions, and think with a human consciousness that is not applicable to them at all.

As for Adam himself? It can't be said that there is no such problem at all, but his IQ is far superior to that of ordinary mechanical lifeforms, and he will not make such a low-level mistake.

"Ah, we don't seem to grow up either......" The 'babbling' of the stroller stopped, and the question of so many mechanical lifeforms that had spent hundreds of years together unaware was answered, and it seemed that their logic had suddenly froze.

"......," Adam mused.

He was considering a plan to help them make a body of a competent mechanical lifeform, and then transfer the king's information, but he was just ...... Watching "Romeos and Juliets" in the theater made him a little apprehensive about such an operation.

Is the mechanical lifeform created in this way really the original "King of the Forest"?

"Ah......" The guards looked at Adam as if they had thought of something, "but how did you grow up?" ”

Adam shook his head and chuckled, "Me? I'm a mutated evolution of a mechanical lifeform, and I'm in a bit of a special situation. ”

The captain of the guard, who had been rocking the stroller before, came over and asked again, "...... How were you born? ”

"Probably a large number of mechanical lifeforms with the same wish, choosing to sacrifice themselves in the face of life and death, so that I could be born?" Adam, as a party to the case, could not explain this clearly, let alone the principle.

This is not a matter of 'common sense', whether it is the common sense of humans, artificial people, or mechanical beings. Because there was no precedent before himself and Eve.

But

"Yes, I see."

It seems that there is a post-example right away.

"There won't be danger on my brother's side, right...... I'm so worried. "Also 'commanded' by Leeds, who had traveled far away, Eve came to the ruins of the amusement park.

Although it brings them very unfriendly memories and there are no evolutionary beings like the "King of the Forest", it is also a special data collection site created by the deliberate disconnection of the network consciousness of mechanical lifeforms, and it is necessary to continue to monitor its changes - in fact, the changes are obvious.

After that battle, N2 seems to have done something to the mechanical lifeforms in the amusement park, presumably spreading some kind of virus? Most of the mechanical lifeforms in the park no longer shouted 'share the joy', but just stood in place, uttering words of unknown meaning.

"............" Even Eve, who was preoccupied with Adam, seemed to be a little heavy after carefully exploring the garden for a while.

He is also a mechanical being, and he has also suffered from N2.

"Huh?" Eve noticed a small mechanical lifeform running in the distance, and subconsciously raised her alarm because of the previous incident.

But this small mechanical lifeform is normal, it ran to Eve's side and stopped, "Brother, brother, play with me, play with me~~"

"Huh?" Eve finally let her guard down.

"I went out to play in Pascal and when I came back, everyone else was weird and there was no one to play with...... Brother, can you play with me? "How it got away with it, we already know.

"No, you can't." Eve just wants to play with her brother because it's her brother's control.

"Can't you...... Is it because we are different? "The small mechanical lifeform looks a little sad.

Eve said impatiently, "Ah, that's it. ”

And then

"- Then how can I become like my brother?"

There is also a latter precedent on this side.
