“…… So I said, don't rush it. Lyle, who had received the report as soon as he woke up, sighed softly and looked out the window.

Although Lyle calls it a 'surgery', it doesn't require any specialized knowledge, just a simple set of operations that can be done by any android [aborting the energy supply, removing the skin of the head appearance, removing the parts that are in the way, removing the parts that are in the way, removing the AI limiter, connecting the energy supply line directly to the artificial soul container, reloading the parts that are in the way, reloading the appearance skin, and restoring the energy supply].

In addition, Lyle has never issued an order other than the day his identity was revealed, and he has always taken non-commanding advice during online conversations, so the androids in other regions are completely able to ignore the advice and complete the operation on their own.

The operation in this area went well, and the old Deboro and Bobolo, the deteriorating and mass-produced androids, and the latest members of the Parachute Force were all able to keep themselves in their own hands and sleep well. However, in other regions, the results of the surgery were divided, some people went well, some people lost some of their memories, and some people changed their temperaments drastically, and almost all of the problems were artificial people with negative and hopeless ideas.

It is too hasty to try to prove that "The Soul Theory" is too hasty, but it is certain that it took Lyle more than a year to build a pilot city for the coexistence of artificial and mechanical lifeforms, and it is not a useless effort.

"However, whether it is amnesia or a great change in temperament, it is still essentially the original soul, as long as it does not start with babbling, it is already an acceptable result." Lyle muttered, not very concerned about the problems that arise from the cyborgs everywhere not following his advice.

While relinquishing the position of 'ruler' at his fingertips, he also rejected the position of 'savior' of compassion. He cares about the future of all androids, but the only ones who can get him beyond 'care' are Deboro, Bobolo, Zero, X, and the former members of the Leaf Force who are happy to roll the sheets with him.

“…………”

“…………”

Deboro and Popolo learned of their master's attitude on the matter, and silently began to tidy up the bedroom.

Lyle looked blankly at the well-kept flower garden outside the window, and said to himself: "All kinds of things are confirming the Soul Theory, but I can't think of a way to observe the soul at all, just like a microscope that can see everything, and the only thing that cannot be seen is its own internal structure...... Is this the limit of my personal abilities, or the limits of the laws of this world? ”

This sentence is about the potential of science, and what technology can do in the future is no different from magic from the current point of view, not that science can be done no matter what it does, and even the magic that entertainment creators break can be realized with some kind of equipment.

What limits the development of science and technology is the law of the world. Of course, if 'magic' refers to 'the power of the supernatural world' and not 'something that is broken', then it is treated the same as 'technology'.

"If I can't observe the soul, then I can only guess again and again, and deviate further and further from the truth." Lyle finally withdrew his gaze and looked into his white hands, "...... I can only think that this body, which is immune to all diseases, this brain that always inexplicably appears scientific and technological knowledge, is a gift left over from the previous life. ”

"Last life?" Deboro didn't hold back after all, and interjected to ask.

Lyell held up two fingers and explained, "There are two possibilities, one is that some unobservable thing randomly combines the soul and dissipates after death, and the other is that the soul is used in a constant cycle, which is called 'reincarnation'...... And it is the latter that explains the anomaly in me. ”

Of course, the question of how the soul was first created before it was reincarnated cannot escape the question, but that is not relevant to the topic at present.

“…… The master's past life. Bopolo subconsciously stopped what he was doing.

"It's not the point of what happened in my previous life, I can't remember anything anyway." I remember the scientific and technological knowledge clearly, but there is not even a little bit of anything left, "The problem is that this guess can give rise to countless guesses...... For example, after the death of my previous life, how did my soul come into this body, is it a random event with an ultra-low probability, is it some kind of world law, or is it the work of a certain goddess? For example, when I die in this life, will my soul fall on a newborn android or mechanical lifeform? For example, if death is not the end, but the preparation for a new life, then what is the theoretical immortal artificial race I have created, a prison for the soul? ”

Deboro said suddenly, "I want to accept my master's speculation, but I don't plan to die. ”

"Human nature~" Lyle shook his head and smiled, he would not artificially shorten the life span of artificial humans because of these speculations that do not know how far away from the truth.

Bobolo, who had the same idea as his sister, shook his head and continued: "Since the master does not plan to prolong his life, then we can only think that [the master may return to this world, and we have to wait forever]. ”

"You ——?!" After Lyle was stunned, the gloom in his heart was swept away, and he laughed, "Hahaha~ Then I can work harder, and strive to leave more gifts for myself in future generations, for one day, [bring all the maids I once loved to my side]. ”

》》》》》》》》

It's been three years since Lyle woke up.

The relationship between the mechanical life forms and the androids eased, and the war subsided for three years, with only a few skirmishes remaining. In the pilot cities, although it is unlikely that there will be a good scene of artificial and mechanical life forms, most of the people have the attitude that the river water does not interfere with the well water, but after all, peaceful coexistence has been achieved.

In order to see Lyle like pilgrims, artificial people from all over the world, over mountains, wading across waters, and hiding from enemies, arrived one after another, becoming residents of the city, and making the city more lively and prosperous. Among them, Deboro and Bobolo were recruited into the maid team, but Deboro and Bobolo, who took care of Lyle's daily life and diet every day, were still the same two.

With the removal of the AI limiter, Lyle began to attack the android maids, who theorized to have the ability to 'reject human courtship' at the moment, but eventually all nodded their heads, even those who already had partners...... They didn't mind the two of them going into battle together.

Someday—

"I haven't been back for a while, and the city has a completely different look."

"Worthy of being a human being who is good at creating~What a beautiful world~"

Adam, Eve, and a number of unseen evolutions returned to the region for a long time.

Their arrival will be the trigger for breaking the peace. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
