Recalling their first meeting, Sogo Doma shuddered.

He, Sogo Doma! An absolute straight man!

Things like "forcing a man to lock another man" were absolutely impossible; it was all Ryunosuke Akasaka's fault!

Probably.

Shaking his head, Sogo Doma snapped out of his thoughts.

Naturally.

Still the same as before, back in the day, that rainy-day Sogo, he covered his chin and pointed at Ryunosuke Akasaka's long black hair: "The proof is that you always sleep soundly in the arms of those girls, even though you used a ventilator several times..."

Ryunosuke Akasaka: "..."

Understand gynophobia, damn it, he would have died without the ventilator, and now he had developed another condition: Sogo-phobia.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

"Lord Ryunosuke says he doesn't want to deal with Mr. Sogo and throws a pillow at Mr. Sogo."

Sogo Doma: "..."

He wanted to say, Akasaka, you're becoming more and more effeminate, what the hell is throwing a pillow? Just as he was about to send the message, Sogo suddenly fell silent.

Wait.

A serious problem had emerged.

"Akasaka, why did the Smart Maid's intelligent program suddenly appear on my phone? Where is my Security Guard?"

For once, Ryunosuke Akasaka was silent for a few seconds.

"Beep, beep, beep."

"Already said, this is a free gift, please don't mind it, that is what Lord Ryunosuke says." Looking at the message on LINE, a vein popped on Sogo Doma's forehead.

"This isn't a question of whether I mind it or not, but rather, this is already an invasion of my privacy!"

Ryunosuke Akasaka: "..."

As expected, he couldn't hide it.

After another long moment.

A message finally came through on LINE: "The Smart Maid needs knowledge evolution, and this can only be completed on the internet."

Is this guy crazy? The first moment he saw the message, that was what Sogo Doma thought. No choice, who told him he had persecution mania himself?

If he created a Skynet, Brain Computer, or Red Queen, Sogo Doma felt he wouldn't be able to survive for long.

However.

After testing the Smart Maid's intelligence with Turing, Sogo Doma felt slightly relieved. Is that it?

Although it had a prototype, it was far from being comparable to Jarvis.

Not to mention intelligent life forms of a higher level than Jarvis, such as X-Vision, Mouhuan...

"Phew." Although he felt relieved inside, this behavior was absolutely unacceptable: "Ryunosuke, I don't remember teaching you to be the kind of guy who makes such dangerous things..."

"Eh?" Before he could finish, a message arrived on LINE.

"Isn't it Mr. Sogo who said, don't stare fixedly at the connection between 0s and 1s and intelligence, remember the difference between them, and that even low-level intelligence can learn step by step? Besides.

Weren't the last few lines of code for the Smart Maid also written by Mr. Sogo?"

"Ale?" Sogo Doma: (@?@)

"So, I specifically came to thank Mr. Sogo for his guidance today. That is what Lord Ryunosuke says."

Wait, wait!

Don't dump all the blame on me, when did I ever guide this guy to write programs?

Sogo Doma was full of grievances.

Then, his LV4 memory began to take effect.

Scenes flashed before Sogo Doma's eyes; that was probably about a week ago.

To lower his memory ability, he chose to drink himself into a stupor. After all, physical amnesia or whatever, just thinking about it was painful.

Naturally, how could a dead-drunk Sogo Doma know the way back to school?

"I stumble and stagger back to school, Umaru worries with a question mark, Erina is anxious on the side, but it doesn't matter, I, drunk and bored..." Humming a song he had butchered, Sogo Doma walked unsteadily down the dark street.

After wandering aimlessly, he suddenly steadied himself. The house in front of him seemed very familiar!

"Ding-dong, ding-dong!"

The doorbell rang for a long time, but no one answered.

It was fortunate that the drunk Sogo had the patience... fine, if you're drunk, you'd have the patience too.

"Coming!" The noisy doorbell finally caught the owner's attention. If he didn't pay attention, the neighbors would have called the police!

"Who is it?" Ryunosuke Akasaka, who opened the door, didn't seem to be in a very good mood right now. No choice, a piece of code he had just thought of had been cut short by the doorbell.

However, before he could lose his temper.

"Blegh!" The person outside the door spat out a mouthful of alcohol first.

Ryunosuke Akasaka: "..."

Sogo Doma looked up: "Yo, it's Akasaka. What are you doing at my house so late?"

Ryunosuke Akasaka...

This is my house! My house!

Striding into the house without a care, Sogo Doma found a spot on the floor to sit down and greeted Ryunosuke Akasaka:

"Don't mind me, have some snacks. I checked, there's nothing good to, to, entertain you with. I'm going to sleep first."

Ryunosuke Akasaka: "..."

It's truly a grievance to you that my house has nothing to entertain you with.

However.

Watching Sogo Doma fall fast asleep, Ryunosuke Akasaka shook his head, covered him with a blanket, and went back to coding.

Pata pata.

Writing and deleting, unable to get it right, Ryunosuke Akasaka rubbed his hair vigorously with both hands.

"Ha~!" A Sogo Doma with an incredibly fast metabolism passed by and said, "Just woke up and found myself in a strange place. I, I didn't lose my chastity, did I?"

He was slightly worried; after all, you might be a cross-dressing expert, but Sogo Doma is a straight man through and through!

"Sogo Doma!" Damn it, I let you into my house and this is the treatment I get? Ryunosuke Akasaka was so angry his eyes turned red.

"Oh, it's Akasaka." Sogo Doma stepped forward slightly, his tone softening a little.

"I should have just left you on the street..."

"Got it, got it!" Sogo Doma had already walked up to Ryunosuke Akasaka's screen and looked at the code; it was the development of an intelligent program.

Wait!

Now is not the time to look at code. What does "Oh, it's Akasaka" mean? If it was this guy, he wouldn't have actually forced himself on a man, would he? He looked himself over, front and back, but there was nothing unusual.

But that wasn't a guarantee!

Just thinking about Ryunosuke Akasaka's past behavior made his heart turn cold.

At the beginning.

"Very well, you're hired, but we can't sign a contract with you, after all, your age... so you can only be my assistant (similar to a butler)..." He had been slightly serious.

"I agree!" After some hesitation, Ryunosuke Akasaka agreed. His family seemed (not in financial difficulty)... but as for personal privacy, Sogo was too lazy to look into it.

The days that followed.

A certain holiday.

The beach.

"A shota, without a doubt." Looking at Ryunosuke Akasaka, who was putting on swimming trunks with a sullen expression, Sogo Doma was slightly disappointed: "Damn it. How long until the curse of 'if they're that cute, they must be a boy' is lifted?"

However...

After a group of big sisters with (ample) bosoms surrounded Ryunosuke Akasaka, Sogo Doma felt satisfied.

"Wow, what a cute kid." One.

"Let big sister give you a hug." Two.

"A child's skin is really nice." Three.

"Help, help me!" Ryunosuke Akasaka turned his head.

Sogo Doma: "I'm comfortable now."

Several girls were applying oil to him, and another girl was letting him rest his head on her lap while cleaning his ears.

Ryunosuke Akasaka's plea for help failed, and he gloriously fainted.

Afterward.

The girl who had been cleaning Sogo Doma's ears handed him 100,000 yen and gave him a look.

"You've encountered a talent."

"That's what I think too!" Sogo Doma laughed while counting the money.

See, just by coming out once, he had earned nearly half a month's salary.
