MTL - Overturned Tower-v2 Chapter 17 Servant "Hee"
"…Well."
Delphinium covered her forehead and opened her eyes from the soft bed.
She sniffed almost instinctively, smelling Russell's scent from under the quilt, and felt a little relieved.
She rubbed her temples, which were still aching, and crawled out of the quilt. Only then did she realize that she was wearing a style of women's pajamas she had never seen before.
Delphinium reached out and grabbed the collar of the pajamas, and sniffed lightly, but she didn't smell anyone else's scent from it.
She got up lazily and looked around.
This room is not too big, it can even be considered small. Probably only in his early tenth year, which is similar to the place where delphinium lived when he was a child.
The decoration is in a wooden style, with a large bed, a hanger, and a large wardrobe. There is also a small round dining table, and there are two high stools beside the dining table...the kind of chairs that can be stepped on in bars or barbershops.
In the corner of the room, there is also a "desk" that is obviously more technological than the entire room. It looks like some kind of touchscreen, and it has a base that can be raised and lowered and angled. There are several data interfaces on the side of it, and there is a small cabinet next to it, and various drawing tools are placed on it.
In addition, there are only a few lockers in this room. There is no refrigerator, no microwave oven, and no pots and stoves.
Seeing her clothes hanging on the hanger next to her, Delphinium took off her pajamas and changed her clothes back.
As she opened the curtains, it was still a little dark outside the window. The light golden morning light shines in the distance.
The light was not dazzling, but she subconsciously squinted her eyes.
"...It's morning."
Delphinium murmured softly.
She glanced at the clock in the upper right corner and saw that it was 5:25.
Only then did I realize that I had spent a dreamless night.
She obviously arrived at Chongguang Island with Russell at noon, but now the time has returned to the morning.
"Have I been asleep for so long..."
In other words, did you not eat your lunch and dinner yesterday?
Just slept for sixteen or seventeen hours...
Thinking of this, Delphinium felt a little hungry.
She was also a little worried about where Russell went. She could clearly smell Russell's scent from her quilt, but it was only five o'clock—according to Russell's schedule, he would never wake up at this hour.
…Rather, without his own supervision, he might not even be asleep.
For cats, night is the most energetic time.
The so-called don't boil cats during the day, but cats boil people at night... Delphinium also has a deep understanding of this.
Every time she felt sleepy and drowsy, Russell was in the moment of energy and was entangled tightly.
During the day, however, I often curl up into a ball to catch up on sleep. And at this time, Delphinium will use various methods to wake him up again. Only when Russell is so sleepy during the day that the cat nods his head, can he go to sleep obediently at night with the quilt covered.
Thinking that Russell probably had another high night, and then planned to go back to catch up on sleep during the day, Delphinium felt his fist harden.
—What about taking me back to my hometown for a stroll? !
But at this moment, the door was suddenly opened.
Delphinium was a little wary, but turned around very quietly.
It was found to be a soft-looking girl with long light pink hair and pink pupils that shone like jewels.
—She doesn’t have the characteristics of spiritual relatives on her body!
But Delphinium quickly saw the "parting line" that was not obvious but did exist in her, and recognized her identity.
This is a servitor.
As far as the current technology is concerned, it has long been possible to make a "seamless machine servant". However, according to the rules of Sogo Island, the machine servant must arrange obvious features such as cooling holes, mold line, data interface, indicator light, number number, bar code or QR code on the body surface, or use synthetic sounds with a mechanical sense, so as to Show your identity as a machine servant.
The unauthorized manufacture of "non-featured servitors" is a serious violation of public consciousness, and it is a taboo on Sogo Island.
Although Delphinium has never seen a real servitor so far. But when she was on the road yesterday, she had heard a lot from Russell.
"You're awake, Miss Delphinium."
The servitor was not surprised to see Delphinium wake up.
She just folded her hands in front of her and bowed respectfully to the delphinium: "You can call me, Xi."
"...Then, can Xiao Xi do it?"
"As you wish."
Xi nodded, smiling softly.
There was a flash of blue light in her pink pupils, and delphinium's VIP-level personal barrier immediately caused a red light representing "danger" to flash in her vision.
It reminds her that she was scanned by others without authorization, and the scanner's "希" is also highlighted in red in the field of vision.
Delphinium casually gave Xi the "general visitor" level authorization and canceled the warning.
But she still looked at the other party with some doubts, waiting for the other party's explanation.
Xiao Xi's face was genuinely apologetic: "I'm very sorry, Miss Delphinium. Mr. Qun Qing told us to take a body scan after you wake up and send the results to him.
"I found that you haven't eaten for more than eighteen hours. I can prepare some food for you here. Do you have any preferences on weekdays?"
"It's good to be healthy...Can I have something warm and drinkable?"
Delphinium hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Luo...I mean, where is Ultramarine?"
"Mr. Qun Qing is downstairs. "
Xi politely replied, "Do you need me to call Mr. Qunqing up?"
"Ah, then there's no need... I'll go down and have a look. "
"Then breakfast is chicken and straw mushroom porridge with steamed stuffed buns?"
"...What's the stuffing in the buns?"
Delphinium asked curiously.
Her mother is from Taoyuan Island, and she often ate "baozi" when she was a child. It’s just that generally speaking, fried chicken, fried steak and roasted pork knuckle are more popular in Happy Island, and it’s the first time she eats steamed stuffed buns outside of her own home.
"Diced pork with leeks, beef with carrot and egg, diced meat with vermicelli and tofu sauce."
Xi replied without hesitation: "If you can wait a little longer, I can also prepare other food for you."
"Ah, no need... This breakfast is pretty good. Isn't the steamed stuffed bun too big?"
"The specification of twenty-two pieces per catty."
"It sounds small..."
But in fact, delphiniums who are usually waiting for their meal with their eyes closed at home don't know how much the buns they usually eat are.
She felt the hunger in her belly, and she had higher self-confidence in her heart.
So the delphinium whispered: "Give me... twenty, can I? Any flavor is fine. Don't worry about wasting it. If I can't eat it, I will eat it at noon."
"Okay. I'll bring the food here later. Call me if the food gets cold and I'll heat it up or change it for you."
The pink-haired servitor spoke softly.
She turned around and opened the door, and stood by the door with her head bowed respectfully.
Delphinium froze for a moment, and realized that she was being asked to go first.
In order not to let Miss Machine Servant stand by the door like this for too long, she quickly trotted two steps, jumped to the door, and whispered "thank you" when passing by Xiaoxi.
As expected, Xiaoxi followed behind her and closed the door behind her. Then she reached out and touched the electronic lock in front of the door, a red light flashed in her eyes.
"A key has been added for you," Xiaoxi said softly behind Delphinium, "afterwards, you can touch the door to open it."
She pointed to the left side: "You can go downstairs from there. Once you go downstairs, you can see Mr. Ultramarine and the boss."
"Thank you." Delphinium nodded quickly,
Thanks again.
"You're welcome."
Xiaoxi responded ~www.novelbuddy.com~ and then briskly walked towards the other side and left.
It was only then that Delphinium was able to take a leisurely look at the surrounding environment...
It's not like an apartment here.
The surrounding environment looks a bit dilapidated, and the walls are just whitewashed without any decoration and wallpaper. The doors of the rooms are also black doors with authentication locks, and there are still some dust and traces of chalk on the doors.
The delphinium subconsciously lowered its footsteps and pricked up its furry ears, but did not hear any sound from it.
It seems that there are no other residents on the second floor here?
—Speaking of which, where exactly is this place?
With this doubt in mind, Delphinium carefully walked down the old-fashioned stairs full of dust and concrete steps.
