Miss 2B
In NieR's world, true humans have long since disappeared.
The YoRHa Forces to which 2B belongs also has an ambiguous attitude towards humans.
2B had been traveling around Earth for so long without encountering any humans until she met Li Chen and discovered that Li Chen was a real human. This directly triggered 2B's core code.
Regardless of the YoRHa Forces's attitude towards humans, these robots have absolute trust in real humans.
Their mission is to find humans and protect them with their lives.
This is determined by the code, just like a cat hisses when it's in danger, or a woman screams and triggers a battle cry when she's in danger.
That's why 2B is acting so 'crazy' at this point.
When she was Summoning, she was instilled with the idea of loyalty to Li Chen was also a pure human.
Li Chen, supporting 2B's 'delicate body', said, "Alright, 2B, get down now."
This delicate body, weighing 300 pounds, is too heavy for most people to lift.
"OK."
2B stood prettily on the ground, her blindfolded eyes scrutinizing Li Chen.
She scanned Li Chen and confirmed once again that Li Chen was a pure-blooded human.
Li Chen sighed, wondering why it felt even more astringent when his eyes were covered.
"2B, why does it feel just like a human to the touch?"
Li Chen asked curiously.
He just felt the texture; it was very firm and perky, like it had been upgraded with technology.
Okay, she's basically made of technology from head to toe.
"Owner."
2B came up with a name for herself and then said, "2B's skin is made of a material similar to that of humans, not only in terms of touch but also in the feeling of impact."
Impact sensation?
Li Chen thought for a moment before realizing, "That idiot is making a suggestive joke!"
However, this is also the original intention of humans in creating robots.
The initial intention behind creating robots was, of course, to have them 'serve' humanity.
As for how to provide services, that depends on various factors.
Later, there was no other way but to make sure we needed robots for combat, so we just had to adjust the parameters.
Therefore, it's quite normal that YoRHa robots can serve humans.
"Try it next time."
Li Chen was genuinely interested.
2B's weight is no problem at all, because the goddess of war Sif, is not much lighter than her.
Asgardians have a body mass several times that of humans, and their weight is naturally the same.
So Li Chen got used to it.
"Okay, I'll bring A2 over too."
Li Chen spoke first.
2B stood obediently to the side upon hearing this, but what she was really thinking remained a mystery.
Because A2 is her enemy.
YoRHa A-Type 2 is the prototype unit of the YoRHa Forces, essentially the first generation unit, and the earliest combat android.
While 2B appears to be entirely human, A2 retains some robotic characteristics.
This is normal, because from the very beginning of the design process, humans aim to avoid robots being too similar to humans.
If robots look exactly like humans, how can you tell them apart?
Therefore, A2 has distinct skin lines, like stitches.
Moreover, unlike 2B, she doesn't wear an eye patch and can freely switch between long and short hair.
When she appeared, her cold eyes were fixed on Li Chen.
"Are you my master?"
"There really are pure-blooded humans."
Unexpectedly, Li Chen sensed an even stronger emotion from her.
If 2B is more like a human, then he is actually a robot.
A2, who is more like a robot, has a more human heart.
Li Chen could sense her heightened emotional state.
This also reminded Li Chen of the game's storyline.
In the third playthrough's ending, A2 inherits 2B's memories and then achieves Awakening of humanity.
"A2, welcome."
Li Chen looked her over and didn't find the lines on her body out of place; on the contrary, he found them quite beautiful.
"This will be your home from now on."
"You don't need to fight here. There's only one thing you need to do: serve me well."
When Li Chen communicated with them, he chose to be straightforward.
Because they are not human, they naturally do not need the roundabout methods that humans use.
"Yes, Master."
As expected, the less humane 2B answered directly.
A2, however, seemed to have a glint in his eyes, but he also nodded.
She was lost in confusion because, in the eyes of the YoRHa Forces, she was a traitor.
Similarly, she did not trust YoRHa Forces.
But once A2 arrived here and met Li Chen, a pure-blooded human, his feelings changed.
Her underlying code, like 2B's, is about serving humanity.
"Very good, now I'll introduce you to everyone."
Li Chen stretched out both hands.
2B decisively took Li Chen's hand and said in a gentle, shy voice, "Master's hand is so warm."
Li Chen suspected that she was trying to act shy, but lacked genuine emotion.
Of course, it still sounds very gentle.
A2 was much more indifferent, but still chimed in. "Yes, Master."
She clearly had feelings, but she chose to hide them.
Just as Li Chen felt, A2 was more like a cool and aloof older sister.
In any case, Li Chen now has two more robot maids.
Otherwise, Ram and Rem would be exhausted.
The family members were used to seeing Li Chen bring in two new people.
"Wow, that's 2B!"
Nami, the homebody, recognized her immediately.
She enjoys all kinds of entertainment in this world, whether it's movies or games, she's involved in them all.
As for Starlight Pictures' own products, they include everything.
The mischievous Nami ran over and pinched 2B.
"It really feels just like a human hand."
"And A2, it looks a bit primitive."
A2 appears more slender, while 2B is a fuller type.
Therefore, for cosplayers, those who are too thin cannot cosplay 2B.
But I must say, 2B's fleshy feel is amazing.
Nami is addicted.
"Humans..."
2B is somewhat helpless and doesn't dare to move at all.
Because she discovered that there were actually humans here.
However, there aren't many purebreds.
They have their own set of perception abilities. For example, Ram and Rem, as well as Bayonetta and Jeanne, perceive that he is not a pure-blooded human and is different from Li Chen.
This is because Ram and Rem are Oni, while Bayonetta are witches.
Nami, on the other hand, surprised 2B; she was a pure-blooded human.
However, they were Summoning Li Chen, and even among humans, there are priorities; Li Chen is the most important.
Li Chen introduced them to each other.
From now on, we're all family.
Li Chen's words made A2's eyes flicker with surprise.
Her heart was originally filled with hatred.
But now I'm surprisingly relaxed and able to see the beauty of the world.
This is also what makes her different from 2B; she doesn't have an eye patch and can see the truth of the world.
