Chapter 332 (1/2)

(As angry as it makes me, three Murder Dogs would be worth more to them then being able to crush us…)

This was his conclusion after giving it some thought.

And so like that, Veldora and the others were led by Zaza to the hidden abode of the resistance organisation, the Light of Dawn.

◆◆◆

While on the road, they introduced themselves to Zaza.

Though, Zaza did not appear to take Veldora’s bold claim, that they had come from another world, very seriously.

However, he did not pry any further.

(Maybe they just want to hide the truth. After all, they have such advanced weapons…)

That’s what Zaza thought.

He looked at Beretta and felt that his will was to obey Veldora’s orders.

And then there was that miniature Automata called Ramiris.

But then again, he was not even sure if she was an Automata.

To Zaza, this Ramiris seemed like it was the result of unbelievable technology.

It was only about 30 centimeters tall and it sat on Veldora’s shoulder…

“What’s wrong with you? You’ve been staring at me all this time. Don’t tell me you have fallen in love? Well, I am quite cute, so it would be no surprise. But too bad! I am not that kind of girl!”

Ramiris laughed haughtily. She had clearly misunderstood something.

Zaza looked away.

“See? Even the people of this world are no match for my allure!”

She began to boast to Veldora.

(What kind of mechanism? I’ve never heard of a cyborg of that size. Is it a robot then? No, those smooth movements are that of an Automata. It was saying something about pain earlier, so it must have some kind of sensory organ replicate. But an Automata of that size… No, more importantly, I have never heard of such advanced artificial intelligence. Is it a brain transplant? Or…Memory Install…!?)

Zaza thought all this while giving a sideways glance. He decided that there was no way that Ramiris was an artificial intelligence.

Surely it was not possible for even an advanced program to think and react just like a human.

Well, maybe it was possible if you had the same ability to process information that the quantum computers aboard the Empire’s battleships had… But it was surely not possible on something as small as Ramiris.

(I feel like I am going crazy. This cannot be real…no, wait?)

Then Zaza thought of something.

(That’s it! If they used the rumored space expansion technology to compress and store the brain…)

This person called Ramiris must have transplanted her brain into this small Automata-that is what Zaza started to believe.

It answered a lot of questions he had had.

(Yes, I see. So this Ramiris person is the most important among them. And this defense cyborg called Veldora and the combat weapon that is Beretta are here to protect her…)

There were too many things that were unclear, and so Zaza came to this conclusion.

Of course, he had thought a little too much about it, and had ended up reaching a conclusion that was completely wrong.

To begin with, Veldora had not told a single lie.
