Chapter 95

The following night .

I was laying on my bed after coming back from the island as I waited for the fatigue to heal .

“Haa, I’m feeling alive again...”

The feeling of the bed gently taking me on; it felt better than usual since I went through many things today .

Ah~ total bliss...

Burying my face in the pillow, I relaxed and eased my body of the stress and tiredness . After using that waterslide for the first time, we immediately switched to play something else . Thankfully, we were able to make it out alive . I made my resolve to spend my remaining summer holidays in bed, but I guess spending a few days like this isn’t bad too .

A warm smile reached my face as I remembered what we’ve done today . It was indeed a very long day .

The moment we arrived at the island, we were attacked by monsters, we met Sara, we went through ridiculous traps inside the ruin, we fought against as giant golem, I punched the heck out of Metron and lastly, we spent the remaining of the day playing on the beach . It was actually strange that we did all of these things in a single day . As I fell in deep thoughts thinking back of the details of what happened, I heard Meru’s voice coming from my phone .

“Master, how did you enjoy your day, Desu?”

“Yeah, a lot of things happened . But it was fun . ”

“I’m glad that is the case, Desu . ”

Feeling relieved from hearing my answer, Meru replied with a sweet smile, but soon after, she took a stance as if she were trying to peek at my face and asked .

“So, master, about the thing we discussed...”

The thing we discussed?

I couldn’t grasp Meru’s implication for a second, but I instantly remembered once I thought about it .

“Ah, that . Did you find a good place where you want to go?”

“Yes! I found something of very intriguing on the internet . ”

Watching Meru answering me with an excited expression, I responded to her with a smile . Back when we were left together in the ruin, we talked about this matter . I almost forgot about it at this point, but a promise is a promise .

“Well then, let’s go there tomorrow . ”

“Yes, Desu!”

With a voice brimming with vigor, Meru answered me while looking forward to the next day . I was planning to slack off in bed tomorrow, though it looks like that wouldn’t be the case . I felt truly disappointed with that fact, but just from seeing Meru’s cheerful smile on the screen, I made myself believe that it’s fine while smiling too .

Summer had just started . Let’s take it easy .

—————————————————————————————————-

In a summer noon where the sunlight was dazzling .

The weather was clear but awfully hot . Everyone who was walking outside was covered in sweat . Of course, I’m no exception as well since I was standing in front of crossing path .

“So hot-!”

The weather was perfect yesterday; it’s unfair for it to ascend like this all of a sudden . I complained to myself about the abrupt hot weather as I wiped the sweat from my forehead . Meru and I are heading to the discussed place currently . It’s irritating how I’m not allowed to use teleportation in this condition .

Having no means to defend myself against this hot temperature, I waited for the traffic signal . There was a solid reason for me not using my teleportation magic instead of suffering in this condition .

“Amazing, Desu! There are a lot of people, Desu! It looks exactly as I’ve seen it on the internet, Desu!”

That reason was none other than Meru who was getting too excited to be inside a crowd of people . She was enjoying her time unlike me who was suffering from this dizzy weather . I let out a faint sigh from watching Meru getting deeply moved from being in a place like this .

I intended to use teleportation to go to our destination, but since she insisted on discovering public places like the one where we’re standing now, I couldn’t refuse her and ended up going by foot . Although, this is not a great place to go on a walk with an AI on a phone . I silently complained from being in this cramped place .

I invited Karen to come with us as well, but she refused, saying that she already had a plan to spend the next night with Lina and Saya . When I asked her when she started getting along with them this much, she answered me ambiguously with something like “girls have many secrets” . As I fell in thoughts, contemplating how Karen was able to get along with Lina and Saya this fast, Meru was making a racket while being on my phone .

“I never thought that there will be these many people, Desu! They look exactly like bustling ants, Desu!”

“That’s not a pleasant example, is it? Meru . ”

I’m also counted as an ant too, after all . She probably learned this metaphor somewhere on the internet . Her verbal expressions are gradually getting worse . But still, I didn’t expect that she will get this excited . Glad I plugged my earphones on my phone . If I didn’t do that, I’d most likely be the center of attention right now .

“Master, what’s that, Desu?”

Praising myself for making the correct decision, Meru pointed in a certain direction from the screen . She was asking about a giant building with a big screen hung on its top .

“It’s a giant TV used for broadcasting news and CMs . ” [ED: CM means commericals] “Hee– it’s huuuge, Desu!”

Meru gazed at the large screen while seeming deeply interested in it . Well, for someone who spent a long time on an island, something like this would usually seem pretty fresh for them . It’s only natural for her to get excited . Fixing her sparkling eyes on that screen for a while, she then suddenly spoke .

“I will go there for a minute, Desu . ”

“There...? You don’t mean...”

Before I was able to ask her back, Meru disappeared from my screen .

No way...

A bad feeling crossed my mind as I looked around me . At the same time, the giant screen on that building changed what it was projecting .

“Amazing, Desu! Everyone looks very small, Desu!”

Meru’s voice that obviously came from the TV resounded on the entire place . Apparently, the TV screen was connected to the surveillance cameras, letting Meru observe the whole place . All the people who were close to the building stopped walking and turned their attention to the screen, from where the voice came, as they pondered with doubt .

“What’s that?”

“Maybe a new CM?”

“But it interrupted the previous CM . ”

“Could it be some kind of special event?”

Everyone started wondering about the reason Meru disrupted the previous CM . This is pretty bad . No, that definitely very bad!

As everyone was confused, I was the only one there who’s expression was clearly different . I couldn’t hide my impatience at that moment . I mean, how could I anticipate her invading the giant TV? Maybe I should have taught her more common sense before bringing her back from that island .

“People... they look like trash! Desu!”

As I was flustering by myself, Meru dared to say that sentence in public . How was she able to say something like that in front of a crowd of people?! That girl, she was influenced by the internet to the very core . As a desperate attempt to bring her back, I tried calling her with gestures .

Please, notice me!

If I scream in this situation, not only Meru but the entire crowd will notice me and I can’t reach her from this distance . That’s why I resorted to using gesture signs . As I kept trying to make her notice me while praying as hard as I could, Meru finally seemed to detect my location .

“Master! I am here, Desu!”

I know that you’re there!

Meru waved her hand while looking at me, directly . Did she perhaps think that I was still looking for her since the moment she left my phone? Either way, I firmly shook my head as a way to make her know that she was wrong . A few people started looking at me with doubting eyes, though I had neither the time nor the composure to realize it at that point .

Just get it already!

With an exaggerated move, I ordered Meru to come back by pointing to my phone . Fortunately, she seemed to have finally understood what I was implying and answered me .

“It is 13:11 right now, Desu! We still have plenty of time, so it is fine, Desu!”

That’s not what I meant! I’m pointing to my phone! Not the clock!

Another point that was missing the mark . I held my head with my left hand . I ran out of ideas to make my intention reach her . Because of my suspicious attitude, more people started fixing their gaze at me . Dammit! I have no other choice but to make her notice me in a showy way . While feeling a bit irritated, I pumped all of my efforts into the last gesture to make her understand . Finally, my order reached Meru resulting in her appearing on my phone again .

“Is something the matter, master? You’ve been acting weird for a considerable time, Desu . ”

“What do you think is the matter!?”

She had no idea about the hardships I went through to make her come back . I need to do something about this too innocent behaviors of her in the future . I’m more worried about my life because of what she does . (ED: This is what you get from prohibiting her from reading R-18 books . )

I let out a faint sigh as I contemplated the near future . From now on, I ordered her to not leave my phone without my permission . Hopefully this will make things easier for me...
