In Principle, You Must Be Responsible to Me!

Time rewound to the not-too-distant past.

Skipping over those details, we must look beyond the surface to the essence of the matter—

He, Ryunosuke Akasaka, was able to remain unmoved by so many temptations. While his phobia of the opposite sex certainly contributed—but who truly knew the real reason? It was obvious that something was going on... The thought sent a shiver down his spine, a shiver down his spine!

The thought of sleeping next to him while drunk (it wasn't a whole night, just less than half an hour) made Sogo Doma shiver.

Fortunately, Judging by the current situation, nothing had happened!

"Phew~!" Sogo Doma felt a wave of relief.

Ryunosuke Akasaka, however, looked at the person occupying his seat: "Sogo..."

"Hm?"

"Manager Doma!" Ryunosuke Akasaka.

"Progress... Keep it up next time."

N-next time? What the hell was he supposed to continue? How many more times did he want to do this?

But seeing Sogo Doma acting as if he owned the place, Ryunosuke Akasaka sighed. He wanted to throw the guy out, but he was afraid he'd be the one thrown out. Pfft, how could he be so cowardly?

To put it another way—although this guy was unreliable in many ways, his skills were truly top-notch, and...

No, no, no!

Sensing a certain thought in his mind, Ryunosuke Akasaka quickly shook his head. They could absolutely not be friends.

Absolutely!

Thinking this, Ryunosuke Akasaka made tea and entered the workroom. Making tea was a matter of etiquette; he was definitely not being threatened...

When he returned—

He saw lines of code being written one after another. The person responsible, Sogo Doma, was clearly still tipsy for the second time, his eyes hazy.

"W-wait a minute!" Ryunosuke Akasaka wanted to say.

However, something even more shocking happened.

Sogo Doma: "Hm, then let's run it."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Ryunosuke Akasaka didn't know what to say. Who wasn't extremely cautious when writing program code? How could Sogo Doma be like this?

You could have typos in a novel, but in a program, one wrong symbol—clang, system crash.

It was usually fine, but the most important thing now was that Sogo Doma was clearly still half-drunk and half-awake—

Looking at the Enter key that had already been pressed, Ryunosuke Akasaka was filled with helplessness. He was too late... He glanced at the culprit again. Well, he had already fallen asleep, sleeping soundly.

Come on, tell me, what was he supposed to do? Ryunosuke Akasaka was also desperate!

"Ding!" While he was regretting it, the program had finished running: "Zhidao AI at your service."

Ryunosuke Akasaka: "!!!∑(Дノ)ノ"

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

What the hell was this? His intelligent AI was still in the development stage, and it was done just by him messing around? Come on, tell me, what was he hiding for!?

Sogo Doma rolled over.

Ryunosuke Akasaka: "..."

MMP!

You're the boss, you're amazing!

"Open the source code."

If he couldn't compare, couldn't he learn?

"Master wants to tear open my clothes? No, please be gentle..." a certain AI said through the speakers.

Ryunosuke Akasaka: "🖕"

The master is indecent, and the developed program is even more indecent!

"Then, I'm showing myself." the intelligent AI said.

Ryunosuke Akasaka: "Take it off!"

"Rude fellow..." he said, but the source code was still completely displayed. Ryunosuke Akasaka ignored the idiotic AI and began to examine it himself.

"Uh, here, it can be done like this..."

"Converting it to this, the logic makes sense..."

"And over here, ending it like this makes the entire logic flow smoothly..."

As he spoke, Ryunosuke Akasaka's eyes showed a complex expression.

So, this is what a genius is?

Ryunosuke Akasaka was a genius himself, but in Japanese society, so-called geniuses were either ostracized or isolated.

Was a life of following the crowd not good enough?

Wasn't rushing around just a waste of calories?

As long as you were the same as everyone else, speaking the same nonsense and being equally foolish, you could fit in...

Remember, this isn't just empty talk. Here, even a princess of the imperial family would be ostracized and isolated by the atmosphere—all because a bunch of clueless idiots thought they held the truth, and the social climate prevented adults from intervening too much.

By the time they truly understood, they had already become another batch of idiots.

And those who saw through it simply committed suicide. It's no wonder Japan's suicide rate is so high.

Setting aside the genius for a moment.

Ryunosuke Akasaka took a deep breath: "BOSS, it hasn't been easy for you either."

Reflecting on his own experiences, he seemed to understand the origin of Sogo Doma's "playboy" reputation.

If someone were to wake up, they would probably end up like—

Doma, looking completely bewildered, Sogo: "???".

This was the initial development process of the Smart Maid...

Then came the aftermath of the Smart Maid's development.

At Sogo Doma's home, "Ryunosuke! The Smart Maid..."

Ryunosuke Akasaka looked up at the ceiling: "Whistle, whistle, whistle..."

"Are you an idiot? This kind of immature product..."

Ryunosuke Akasaka retorted upon hearing this: "I feel it's already mature. A standard computer..."

"Nonsense, a standard computer might not detect it, but what about a supercomputer? And don't underestimate other programmers!"

"I..." Ryunosuke Akasaka wanted to say something more.

He watched as Sogo Doma tapped away at the keyboard, typing lines of code he didn't even recognize.

After finishing, Sogo Doma hit the enter key.

"01 System, at your service."

However, before Ryunosuke Akasaka could even speak, Sogo Doma was already drenched in sweat.

The skill bar read as follows.

Programming LV6 Experience (1/999999) Are you really not going to try creating life?

Sogo Doma: "Get lost!"

Are you kidding me!

Ryunosuke Akasaka, standing to the side, didn't know what had happened. If he had known, he probably wouldn't have exclaimed:

"What a perfect program! Every line is filled with beauty. Take this line of code, for example, it could completely..."

At this moment, Sogo Doma wore a "nuclear-friendly" smile.

"How about it? Can this defend against your Smart Maid?"

"Don't joke around... This, this is creation-level technology."

"Creation my foot. This is just to defend against the Smart Maid. Do you think it will hold?"

"Of course!" Looking at the code before him, Ryunosuke felt a headache coming on. Forget defending against the Smart Maid; even top-tier hackers would be forced to admit defeat against this program—provided, of course, that technology didn't advance further.

"Then how do you think it would go if we used this program to counter your Smart Maid?"

Ryunosuke Akasaka: "Eh?"

How would it go? It would be a blatant thrashing, the kind where there's no room to fight back.

"Don't rush, I'm very fair. Shaqiang follows three major principles: First, never harm humans; second, absolute obedience to my orders; third, protect humans while ensuring its own safety, provided it doesn't violate the first two principles."

"The Three Laws of Robotics?" Ryunosuke Akasaka asked.

Sogo Doma nodded: "They are three principles that only apply to me!"

"I looked at it from the start. Your constraint program for the Smart Maid seems to only have one, which is so-called liking or love. You probably thought, 'It's just a program, what kind of trouble could it cause?'"

At this, Ryunosuke Akasaka's expression shifted "..."

"Nah, nah, I don't really understand that kind of mentality, but in my view, necessary constraints are a must—like me, I've instilled some XX Criminal Law, XX Economic Law, and Humanity Above All into Shaqiang..."

Ryunosuke Akasaka latched onto the key point: "Shaqiang?"

"That's the smart program..."
