"Just as the assembly line production of the Model T heralds the dawn of a new era, we believe that today's AI technology is also a ladder to the future, and not just at the work level."

The man leaning casually on the red couch held the Nero puppet in the air, waving the little girl puppet like an impassioned orchestra conductor.

"Can you tell us a little story about this cute little guy?"

The hostess sitting on the other side handed over the topic at the right time.

"Of course." Mr. Nemo, the president of Lembongan Media Technology, smiled and pulled the inconspicuous nasolabial folds, and looked at the camera with blue eyes, "I remember the first time I found Nero's existence on my father, Dr. Vidal's computer - when she was just a chatbot - I already saw her shining future......"

“…… With the support of new technology, I believe Nero will conquer everyone's heart. Just like a real idol, sharing the power of dreams with fans is also my own dream......"

The light screen behind the two is constantly beating Nero's new MV clips, advertising agencies, peripheral products and follow-up IP development plans.

As you swipe your fingers, the image jumps to other content, mostly trivial and frivolous, such as an explosion somewhere, an underworld group being wiped out overnight, and unemployed people demonstrating in front of a large company.

"I've been hearing the word dream a lot lately."

Li Wu sat with his back against the wall, looking in the direction where the voice came from.

Hoshikawa Aoi was leaning on the railing and looking at her smartphone, when she heard this, she grabbed the railing, leaned back her upper body, and her long black hair hung upside down: "My dream today is to go to eat barbecue at night!" ”

Hikari stood up and ran to her side and stuffed the untouched lunch in his hand to her.

"Huh? Is it for me? But I ate it, thank you, Rin-san. ”

Hoshikawa jumped off the railing at a loss and received the bento.

"Hikari, don't send a bento to Hoshikawa just because the person who said that line died in the end!"

Li Wu preached to his childhood sweetheart, and Hoshikawa Aoi, who had reacted, whined and threw himself at the light, and the two ran in circles.

"It's so hilarious."

Arisa sat next to him, looking at the two chasing men with her free mind, three layers of luxury food boxes above her knees.

She picked up a piece of English blood pudding and put it down, hesitated for a long time, and then turned her head tremblingly and handed out the chopsticks: "If you don't mind......"

"Eminem!"

The light that blew from the side like a storm swallowed it in one gulp, and even the chopsticks were taken away by her.

"Thank you for your hospitality!"

The fleeing beast said vaguely.

"Little Light!"

Arisha joins the hunt.

The hot wind of mid-June was blowing from all directions, and on the roof of the club building, there was no shelter, and only weeds grew tenaciously among the gray cement blocks, until they were trampled flat by three high school girls running around.

Li Wu automatically filtered the noise of the chase and took a sip of the milk tea in his hand.

Although Yui Hirata asked about the former site of the Azure Pharmaceutical Affiliated Hospital where she was "treated" at the time, he decided to wait for the limelight of the destruction of the Isokai Group to pass before going there to check for clues.

After all, the opponent you may encounter this time is neither a single madman like Yuichi Uehara, nor a mythical creature completely insulated from the world, but a company that has a huge influence in everyday society.

Proof of this is that Nero's melodious songs can still be heard on the radio downstairs.

The singing, mixed with the jogging of the baseball club on the playground and the sleepy murmur of the individual practicing the bass horn in the wind club, immersed the entire Inaba High School in a peaceful and peaceful afternoon atmosphere.

"—where is peace and tranquility!"

Mai Shiratori grabbed the edge of the desk with both hands and lifted the desk in front of her away.

The loud collision caused the other three girls to stop, and they froze in place like wooden people.

All eyes are on the president.

She struggled to retrieve the desk and the paper and ink on the desk that had been lifted off by herself, and moved it to its place - so aren't you asking for trouble?!

Everyone had the same thought in their hearts.

Shiratori Mai knelt on a chair in the center of the rooftop, holding aloft the black letters on a white background that had just been copied and wrote "Protest! "Revolution!" "March!" and other banners, which looked like leaders who were going to start a student movement.

"Stop flirting! I ask you! Why are we now on rooftops that are normally off-limits to students under the scorching sun? ”

The remaining four honestly lined up and stood in front of her.

Hoshikawa Aoi was the first to raise his hand: "Report to the president!" It's because the lock on the rooftop doesn't know who broke it, so I walked in directly! We were going to pry it open, though! ”

"Shut up! It's not about the modus operandi of the crime, but about the motive for the crime! ”

Shiratori pounded the table that had also been carried to the rooftop.

"Wow, I actually said that the motive for the crime, are we already a criminal gang in the eyes of the president?"

Hoshikawa Aoi put down her hand, took a step forward, and propped her hands on the table.

"I know, Shiratori, that feeling of resentment."

"Hikari, I didn't expect you to understand what I mean."

She looked up movingly, looking as if she had been covered in a layer of holy light.

"It's to shout from a high place that aliens transform the already hopelessly incorrigible human race, right?"

"Okay, I know you've recently read the sci-fi book that was translated into Sakurajima. Li Wujun asked to look at her a little more, in case the location information of the earth was sent by the light. ”

Li Wu nodded with a heavy expression.

"I don't think it's going to be such a scary thing......"

Arisha whispered, pointing to the men and women who happened to be pouring out of the club building downstairs, "Actually, it's here to snipe the impure heterosexual couples and current people, right?" ”

"Compared to the ethereal alien advent plan, I think yours is even more terrifying!"

The white bird had a bruise on his forehead.

The girls' group, who had answered all the questions incorrectly, looked at Li Wu.

He put down the milk tea, pondered for a moment, and replied tentatively, "Because both Shiratori and Smoke like high places?" ”

Everyone showed a look of sudden realization, except for Shiratori himself.

"Don't sarcastically mock me for being stupid!"

She got up from her chair and stomped on her desk with a banner.

"Listen up! Members of the Otherworldly Survival Preparation Club! We have lost our homes, and the tyrannical student councils have been kicked out of their activity rooms! Don't you feel humiliated! Don't want to give them a little color to see?! ”

The angry light writer threw away the previous layer of banners, revealing two huge bold letters:

"Revenge!"

“…… Huh? ”

The four of them let out a questioning voice like a player who had missed something important.
