degradation

For Dino, it is the first time that he stays at home with 24 all the time like now.

He called in sick for a few days.

For this reason, he had slightly more chances to get along with 24.

Counting the days, one month has passed since the day of 24.During this period of time, Dino has been working early and late. Although he is served by "invisible" robots every day, Dino has never thought about how he is busy at home 24 hours a day when he is not around. Yes, just enjoying everything that has been prepared with peace of mind.

Originally, Dino didn't expect that there would be any difference from before, but he didn't expect that the scene of tidying up the room step by step in his imagination 24 hours a day never happened.

"24!"

There was a slight noise from the storage room, and soon, 24 walked in front of Dino.

"gentlemen?"

"Put the pillows from the sofa on the stool."

24 obediently ran to the sofa and took a thin pillow and put it on the stool in front of the dining table, then stood aside and watched Dino sit down slowly while leaning on the edge of the table, then turned and prepared to leave.

"Where?"

24 turned around upon hearing the sound, "Go back and wait, sir."

"Is there no work at home?"

"some."

"Then why go on standby?"

"You haven't left yet."

"What do you mean?"

"Try not to appear in your presence, sir."

Dino rolled his eyes, "Then if I'm going to stay at home all day, why don't you just turn off the phone?"

24 tilted his head, and there was a questioning look on his face again, obviously he couldn't understand people's words again, "Do you need me to turn off the phone, sir?"

"...It's okay, you go to standby."

24 regained his normal expression as if nothing had happened, and ran away after saying yes, leaving only Dino watching its back with squinted eyes.

Well, what they said is correct, it was you who said before that you are not allowed to appear in front of your eyes.

What an obedient robot, Dino thought as he sipped his soup.

It seems that even with this robot, my life will not be affected badly except for a little more comfort. This should be a happy thing.

However, it was already noon, but no one came out to cook.

Dino dropped the gamepad and thought for a while, then shouted, "24!"

There was another sound in the storage room, and the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer.

"gentlemen?"

Dino scanned 24 up and down with squinted eyes, picked up the controller again, looked at the screen in front of him and played the game, "Cooking."

"Yes, sir."

It's not that he can't cook by himself, he hurt his tailbone and didn't hurt his hands.And before the 24th day, he had enough food and clothing by himself, and if he couldn't do it, he could still order takeaway.However, I don't know why I just don't want to move today. I would rather see that annoying human monitor dangling in front of my eyes than do it myself. This must be because he is injured and inconvenient.

Dino sniffed, blinked again, and turned his head slightly curiously to look at the busy backs in the kitchen.

This was the first time Dino saw how the robot was busy, of course, sneaking a glance.

From washing vegetables to cutting vegetables, from adding seasonings to serving dishes, the most proficient is cutting vegetables. When adding seasonings, there will be a pause, presumably to collect the steps on the menu and calculate the amount of seasonings.

Except that there is no step of personally trying the taste like a human being, it seems to be quite similar at first glance.

However, even dishes that have not been tasted are still delicious, which really shows the excellence of artificial intelligence, and of course it is inseparable from Dino's previous personal teaching.

Originally, I thought it was time for Dino to go back to standby when he was eating, but just as 24 turned around and was about to go back to the storage room, the uncle behind him had trouble again.

"...Go and clean the room."

24 responded, and immediately started tidying up the room again.

Because it is cleaned every day, the room is not messy, so I finished work in a short while, and was ready to go back to the storage room again.

But the master's call came again.

"24?"

"gentlemen?"

"Pour me a glass of water."

"Yes, sir."

"24?"

"gentlemen?"

"Turn off the bathroom light."

"Yes, sir."

"24?"

"gentlemen?"

"...pass me the remote."

"Yes, sir."

"24?"

"gentlemen?"

24 once again turned around and looked at Dino questioningly when he was about to go back to the storage room.

Dino looked left and right, and it seemed that he really couldn't find anything else.

"……never mind…"

Watching the figure of the robot disappear at the door of the storage room, Dino snuggled into the sofa and let out a long breath, suddenly feeling that the house is so quiet...

A few days passed like this, Dino's injury was almost healed, and the vacation ended on time.

Dino, who returned to work, stared at the projection in the air and thought about 24 in a daze, wondering what he was thinking about.

To be honest, after getting along with this injury for a few days, he felt that he didn't seem to be too disgusted with the 24-year-old life.

He didn't even know how to think about it, but he seemed to have found a new joy.

24 still seldom appears in front of his eyes every day. Except that he will appear immediately when he hears the call when he is resting, there has not been any qualitative change because of Dino's call at all times.

If this kind of thing is placed in the relationship between human beings, maybe there will be some different developments, right?Because it is ripe, it will become bolder.

For example, getting along with people gradually develops from being unfamiliar with each other to being acquainted with each other. All getting along and dealing with each other are mutual and need to be maintained. Feelings, like, happiness, dislike, hate, or sadness, etc... Then because of these different feelings, what state will a relationship develop into, companionship, love, killing or forgetting each other... ....

But if it is placed on 24, it is obvious that everything that comes is different from getting along with people. As the master of 24, Dino has been quite disgusted with him from the very beginning.Although the attitude of getting along after these days is obviously no longer as resistant as before, 24 still doesn't have any feelings about it, and it hasn't done any unnecessary things.Because it doesn't know how to behave, it only knows how to execute orders.It doesn't know how to do something to please the master, it only knows how to follow the master's orders.No matter what kind of attitude its owner has towards him, it will not feel anything for it, whether it is resentment or favor, resistance or approach, it always just stands there quietly, that's all. That's all.

Because 24 is always just a machine.

"I hate you!"

"Don't let me see you!"

It always obeys such orders.

So Dino had an absurd idea when he was getting ready to go to work early one morning.

He opened the door of his house, coughed, and then closed the door with a bang but did not leave.He even quietly ran back to the middle of the living room, staring at the direction of the storage room and waiting with arms crossed.

Sure enough, within a short while, after a slight sound, a figure slowly walked out of the storage room.

24 didn't drive straight in immediately, but just stood at the door of the storage room and scanned the surrounding environment.

Then, as expected, when 24 glanced at Dino who was still standing in the living room, it obviously stuck, then slowly retreated to the storage room, and closed the door.

Dino burst out laughing.

Oops, it seems to be quite fun.

Then the next day, Dino copied this method again, and 24 was still "scared" by him.

Even worse, after Dino went out, he leaned against the gate and waited for a while, then immediately opened the gate and turned back.24, who was clearing the dining table, was holding the plates and chopsticks and got stuck when he saw Dino, then silently backed away while holding the plates and chopsticks in his hand, and then "quietly" hid along the corridor. into the bathroom.

Dino, who was so funny, almost laughed out loud.

However, he still didn't give up, quietly ran to the door of the bathroom, jumped over suddenly and said "Hello!"

As a result, there was a rattling sound, and the plates and bowls in 24's hands shattered to the ground.

Although I didn't expect that the 24-card machine would have the consequence of being unable to grasp things, but Dino didn't care at all, and laughed with his stomach in his arms.

"You, it's funny once in a while."

I have to admit that he seems to like seeing 24's expression a little bit, he thinks it's a bit silly.

As a result, Dino's schoolboy-like bad taste has been thoroughly ingrained.

By the way, the first-generation robot like 24 also has the ability to learn. After several similar experiences, the robot seems to have learned well, and it will always wait a long time before "cautiously" coming out of the storage room. Sometimes, you will stick your head out to observe carefully and sense the surrounding air and environment before coming out.

So Dino not only needs a more rigorous evasion plan, but also procrastinated several times until he was late for work.

Lucas looked at Dino, who deducted the perfect attendance award this month, and joked, "You can change the time of 'morning exercise' to evening."

Dino patted him on the head, "What 'morning exercise'..."

Then I thought about it again, and smiled imperceptibly, well, it seems to be a morning exercise...

Later, it became even more excessive, and even Dino played with relish on the rest day.He almost hid all the nooks and corners of the house, but he still enjoyed playing 24b games with 2 like a primary school student.

24 If I could think, I'm afraid I'd only think about when this big brother will be a leader.

After a while, Dino worked overtime for several days and was exhausted.

We're almost finishing the last phase of our project, only to find out that we've left an important backup of our data at home.

So he connected the communication device at home and asked 24 to send the documents to the company for him.

This is the first time that 24 has gone out alone, and it is also the first time since he sent Dino to the hospital last time.

Dino was a little worried at first, and within 10 minutes after hanging up the communicator, he began to think that he should go back by himself. 24 doesn't seem as alert as the fifth generation, what to do in case of any danger.

Later, when Dino stood at the gate of the company and saw 24 o'clock, just over 20 minutes had passed, which was not bad.

Dino breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at 24, and then thought that Lucas and Jimmie were the only ones left in the lab at this time, so there should be nothing to worry about, so he led 24 into his working place.

This is the first time that 24 has appeared in front of Lucas since [-] was activated, and it is also the first time for Jimmie to see a robot belonging to Dino.

Both of them greeted 24 curiously and observed it.

Lucas also patted 24's shoulder very familiarly, "You weren't activated when I first saw you."

24 tilted his head, and greeted Lucas politely, "Please take care of me."

"You too," Lucas reached out and touched 24's head again, "please take care of me."

At this moment, Jimmie, who had been silent all this time, leaned against the table with her arms folded, suddenly uttered a voice with obvious sarcasm mixed in, "Dino, don't your robots wear shoes?"

Both Dino and Lucas were taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized that 24 was actually barefoot.
