Something inside my body seems to be trembling...

"I just want Schwie to stay by my side forever!"

"...Why? I'm right next to Rick right now..."

"That's not what I meant. I want you to be my life partner!"

The screen in front of me kept flickering, in a way that defied logic, without reason or cause, as if something was bursting forth from nothingness even though there was nothing there...

[What followed...what followed was an immense fear!]

[On Shubi's monitor, a picture of a young Riku from six years ago, amidst the ruins, suddenly appears!]

[A dirty little face, the last look in its eyes...]

"The Mech-type cannot reproduce..."

"That's not a problem!"

"He will also be unable to reproduce... Rick will remain a virgin for life..."

"...That's not a problem either!"

In the world of Under One Person, Zhang Chulan: "Knock!"

Chapter 410 Love

In the world of The King's Avatar, Ye Xiu exclaimed, "Hiss! There's actually a way to propose like this. I've really learned something new."

In the world of The King's Avatar, Wei Chen said, "I think this method is quite suitable for you, 'Shameless Ye.' Tsk tsk, with your skill that knows no bounds, what girl could withstand your torment!"

Himouto! Umaru-chan's world, Umaru Doma: "Throwing tantrums and rolling around, I know this stuff! Bro~ Bro~~"

In the world of Black Myth: Wukong, the Chosen One exclaims, "Hey! Where did this demon come from?!"

In the Honkai Impact 3rd world, Kiana says, "Hurry up and give me your address!"

In the Honkai Impact 3rd world, Raiden Mei: "??"

"...For a fleeting moment... I hesitated..."

"Don't worry about the details!!"

"It's like saying, 'Let's not talk about this anymore,'" Rick shouted hastily.

"No...because..."

[Shubi's voice suddenly started acting strangely...]

[...Trembling? How could the voice system of a machine race be trembling??]

[Was she scared by herself? Shubi's expression gradually crumbled...]

Confusion... disarray... helplessness... and a deep, unyielding sorrow!

"Shubi?"

Rick stopped his tantrum-like 'proposal,' and his expression gradually turned worried.

[And this worried tone became the final straw that broke Schubert's back!]

[Thinking is collapsing; errors, contradictions, and breakdowns are proliferating endlessly!]

【"……because……"】

A red light gradually flickered in his eyes, and his memories were uncontrollably read again...

[Don't say it! Say it! Don't say it! Say it!]

[Contradiction! Contradiction! Contradiction! Contradiction!]

[Collapse! Collapse! Collapse! Collapse!]

"...take Rick's..."

[A colossal dragon, its wings blotting out the sky, is roaring!]

[A terrifying surge of 'elf' power shattered the clouds!]

【[Proposal sent.]】

"Transmitted from [Analysis Entity] to [Command Entity]."

[Flames are exploding! Vast, devastating energy is tearing apart the bodies of countless machine gunners in mid-air!]

【["[implement]."]】

"...destroyed Rick's hometown..."

【[“[Dian Kai].”】】

["Org.2807 [Pass Rules]."]

[If one Machine Gunner is attacked in a certain way, the data will be analyzed and transmitted back to the [Link], and all other Machine Gunners will simultaneously acquire a copy of that ability.]

[Countless machine types combined their attacks, forming a ring in mid-air!]

[A terrifying beam of energy shot down from the sky and struck the [ring] with perfect accuracy.]

【["Bang----"]】

The circular structure is no longer a means of defending against attacks; rather, it has transformed from a defensive mechanism into a channel for redirecting such attacks.

[The explosion was split into dozens of 'beams' and transferred.]

[One of the attacks landed on the ground some distance away!]

[The air was almost instantly burned up! The burst of energy was deafening!]

[The flames filled the entire sky...]

[And in the sky, the entity that decided to execute this tactic... was none other than Shubi at that time!]

"...It's Shubi..."

[The earth turned to scorched earth, flames burned on the stones...]

In the world of The King's Avatar, Huang Shaotian exclaimed, "Holy crap! What kind of godlike development is this?!"

In the world of Detective Conan, Conan Edogawa says, "Sigh... Actually, thinking about it carefully, it's not entirely without clues... The reason why Shiro appeared in front of Riku in the first place was probably because of this..."

In the world of Caged Man, Si Rui exclaimed, "Damn author! Why did you have to add such a... such a copy to Shubi's hands..."

In the world of Joy of Life, Fan Ruoruo says, "...Pain. Hughie told Rick all this, and there's no turning back between them anymore..."

In the world of Zhenhun Street, Xia Ling asks, "...Richard, what will he choose? Will he continue to be with Shubi?"

Zero World, Rin: "This... if Riku still harbors hatred for Shuvi, even if they get together, how will they overcome this barrier..."

In the world of love chocolate, Metata says: "Even without being together, Rick's feelings for Shubi, and Shubi's feelings for Rick, transcend mechanical limitations... Even heartless things have hearts; separation would be painful for both of them..."

I am but a humble creature from the Monster World. Bubble: "Aaaaaah! I can't believe it! I really can't believe it!!"

"...Even so...would Riku still be able to say...the same thing...?"

Having revealed the whole truth, Shubi unconsciously shrank her presence, lowered her head, nervously clasped her hands together, and asked in a trembling voice.

She was terrified that Rick would kick her out because of it...

[I can only try to minimize my presence and avoid becoming a 'stone' that's stuck in Rick's way...]

She didn't even know why she brought it up; there was no benefit to it, and it would only make Rick dislike her...

[Disliked by Rick...]

"...Shubi, I've noticed it, though it's just a feeling."

This answer was also completely unexpected for Schubert, and her body jolted violently!

【"……Why……"】

Rick stood up again and slowly walked in front of Shubi.

["What initially felt off was why we chose chess for our first meeting?"]

"And also, why were they waiting so far away from the settlement?"

And why would you want to understand my [heart]...?

These fragmented clues, pieced together one by one, ultimately point to a possibility...

No accusations, no insults, no hatred... Once again, Rick's actions completely contradict any of the expected outcomes...

"You unexpectedly became careless at the end."

Rick spoke to Shubi calmly, with his usual relaxed, natural, and slightly indulgent tone.

"...You clearly know...but why..."

[It's no use anymore. Completely unable to figure out what Riku is thinking, Shubi can only voice her doubts in hopes of getting the final answer...]

"Perhaps this is under the premise of knowing everything..."

"I guess I've fallen in love with Shubi after all."

Rick felt embarrassed saying these things so seriously.

Zero World, Rin: "That's...an unexpected answer..."

In the world of Genshin Impact, Paimon says, "There couldn't be a better answer than this..."

In the world of Super Beast Armed World, Yuan Zheng exclaimed, "This is love!"

Chapter 411 This humble woman is not talented

"The fact that Huggies destroyed my hometown is indeed a thing of the past."

"Hmm~ I really am an idiot, because I thought the same thing at the same time."

"If we deny that Shubi destroyed my hometown in the past, then we would never have met."

Rick gently stroked Shubi's cheek, and continued speaking under the other's fluttering gaze.

"Let bygones be bygones; there's no point in dwelling on the past."

[“Gritting teeth, regret, and cries of despair…”]

"But next time, the next time we must move forward."

[Richard gently removed the hood that Shubi had been using to conceal her Mecha identity, and stared at the stunned Shubi... the complete Shubi.]

"That's why Schwie became interested in me, isn't it?"

[With his purest smile, Rick continued.]

"Whether it's Shubi's past or her present presence by my side..."

"And the hope of a future where we can be together again."

"I love all of this."

Rick gently hugged Shubi, then took her hand again.

"As long as Shubi is here, even in a world like this, I want to live."

[Gently place the ring on the ring finger of Shubi's left hand.]

"As long as Hugh is here, I will never lose heart, no matter what difficulties I encounter."

"As long as Shubi is here, I can always face life with a smile."

"So... are you willing to set aside all reason and walk with me through this?"

"Will you be my wife?"

Tears streamed down her face... The Mechs are supposed to be a species that doesn't cry...

No... the Mechs are that kind of species; if necessary, they will modify themselves to meet specific needs.

Although she didn't know when she had acquired that ability, the tears streaming down her cheeks told Shubi the truth.

That was... feelings...

That is, Rick's [heart]...
