While lurking in the Resistance stronghold, Lyle secretly observes androids, hoping to see a free soul and a bright future in the race he has created, but the result can only be described as "regret".

The first is that the artificial soul is buried by artificial intelligence, even if the artificial humans in the stronghold are made by the same race, the "three principles" set by humans thousands of years ago are still left, and they still have fanatical beliefs in humans who have never seen them at all, and the members of the Jiye Army, who occasionally appear in the stronghold, 9s, even once even shouted "May the glory of mankind last forever".

Lyle is almost sure that as long as he reveals his identity, he will immediately become the leader of the android camp, and the only possible way to disobey the order is to hide behind the scenes and establish the existence of the Parachute Army, which is not something to be happy for Lyle, who regards androids as "descendants".

Then there is the general negativity among the androids, and the lie of [humans hiding on the moon] has only boosted the morale of the android community from 'despair' to 'loss', and it still does not reach the passing line, and it does not look like a force that can achieve final victory.

Don't forget that this is a front-line stronghold, and if even the soldiers here are like this, you can guess what kind of mentality the androids who are engaged in logistics production elsewhere will be. The loss of passion of the entire race means that they will never be able to move forward, or rather, the androids have been stagnant for an unknown number of years.

Finally, the armament held by the android camp, as a large number of grassroots combat troops, the resistance is still using cold weapons and conventional firearms to fight, and can probably only bully small enemies, and medium enemies are enough for them to drink a pot.

According to the introduction of 9S, the armament force held by the Jiye unit is still quite decent, and there are high-power weapons mounted on aircraft carriers somewhere, but they still do not have the weapons to change the terrain. Once the legion of mechanical lifeforms gets serious, the ending will not change.

"Alas...... If one of Zero and X had survived, probably wouldn't have ended up in this situation, right? Lyle, who was sitting on the edge of a small lake at a certain distance from the base, was troubled by this.

Compared with his worries about the current situation of the androids, Lyle is more troubled by what he should do next, and he always feels that every route except the 'Hermit Route' has a certain probability of leading to the destruction of the android camp, and the big disadvantage is trouble at the beginning.

"Huh?" A strange noise in the sky dragged Lyle's thoughts out of his troubles.

A black fuselage flew low, the engine not loud, but it still stood out in the quiet ruins of the city.

"Is that the flying weapon of the Jiye Army?" Lyle was slightly interested in him, and if he had the chance, he would ask Deboro and the others to scan the mech.

However, this level of interest is just that, the knowledge that appears in the mind out of thin air has a lot of technology related to super robots, and the flying weapons of the Parasitic Leaf Force are just mini toys in front of them.

"I didn't hear that 9S is going to return to the space station, which means that a new member of the Leaf Force is coming?" Due to the lack of information, Lyle was unable to draw any conclusions.

Approximately ten minutes later, 9S arrived with a member of the Parachute force, and from the route it appeared that he was about to make his way to the Resistance stronghold after placing his flying weapon in a safe location.

9S stopped and greeted Lyle, "Is Mr. Lyle fishing today?" ”

By the way, Deboro is out hunting, and Popolo is looking for wild fruits and vegetables in the distance.

"After all, this is one of the few channels to increase resources for the stronghold, and I'm not a model who is good at fighting." Lyle moves out of the usual flickering excuses.

The base does not have any basic resource industry, and mainly relies on the transportation of supplies from other regions, but the refugee-like way of life knows whether the supplies are abundant or not. The only way to get some extra metal parts is to hunt mechanical lifeforms, and catching mechanical fish in the water is the safest way.

Ahem, there are fierce big mechanical fish in the sea, but those things don't exist in small lakes on land, which is why the twin sisters are relieved to let Lyle fish alone.

"That's right." 9s was a little embarrassed, the supplies of the Jiye troops were supplied by the ground, and the supply level was the highest priority, and he had never felt how precious a small part was before landing on the ground.

“…… There are also biological fish. Said the new member of the Leaf Sending Force.

Lyle has two barrels around him, one for mechanical fish to be sold to merchants in the colony, and the other for living fish waiting to be eaten.

"It's just a matter of preventing it from being caught again, and I'll release it later." Lyle lied without changing his face, he lied a lot during his lurking in the stronghold, not worse than this one, "Speaking of which, 9s...... Who is this new lady? ”

9S stretched out his hand and introduced, "This is Miss 2B, my partner in the investigation during this time. ”

"............" 2b was silent, she had many memories of 9s's execution, but 9s didn't know her, and this 'Miss 2b' made her heart ache as soon as she came out.

This is the pain that every Type E android disguised as another type of android must endure, and in fact, there have been many incidents of Type E androids who have committed suicide because they cannot bear the pain of executing deserters and their companions who have touched the truth.

"This is the combat model......" Lyle dropped his fishing rod and looked 2b up and down curiously.

Unlike the ordinary androids that have been mass-produced after deterioration, the members of the Jiye Force are designed according to the 'conventional aesthetics', with 9s being a handsome white-haired boy and 2b being a beautiful white-haired beauty. Of course, they can't avoid the commonality of androids, and the only difference in the appearance of the same model of androids is hair and voice.

However, Lyle's focus was different, and he stepped forward to grasp 2B's hands, and said with a little excitement: "Is this a B uniform?" ”

"Yes, that's right." 2b said in amazement.

"Next time you come back from the space station, can you please Miss 2b come back with two more uniforms?" Lyle let go of his hand and used his hand to gauge the height of his maid, "If you can, please adjust the size slightly." ”

9s said very kindly, "Is it for Miss Deboro and Miss Boboro?" Why don't I design it~"

"Then please! Be sure to remove the high slit! The high-slit maid dress doesn't fit Lyle's aesthetics, "Wait a minute, I'll ask Bobolo if he has any other appearance requirements~"

With that, he ran towards Bobolo in a different way than the android Lisuo's running style.

"Hey~Mr. Lyle, they are so affectionate~" 9s laughed happily, he liked to see this kind of warm scene.

"............" 2b looked at his hands in a daze.

9s, who had noticed this for a while, asked, "What's wrong, Miss 2b?" ”

“…… The guy just now, his hands weren't quite normal......" 2B muttered.

The signals returned by the sensors convey the 'warmth' and 'softness' beyond the scope of the android to her artificial intelligence.

9S smiled and explained, "That's because Mr. Lyle is an android left over from the old era, isn't Miss Deboro and Miss Popolo also different from other androids?" ”

“…… Old? 2b's doubts in his heart have not gone away.
