Lobotomy Corporation but with Simulation System?

"Hm, should be enough, today's work is over!"

X stroked her already slightly sore eyes, sighed.

Staring at the screen for a long time, saying not tired is impossible, but compared to the work of employees, then Manager this kind of work, has been considered very good.

At least... it is safe, no need to directly interact with monsters, but only need to look through the screen.

I also overfulfilled my task today, collected too much energy, excess energy will be handled by Angela, used in other places to spend.

As for which specific places, X did not ask, after all she was only in charge of collecting energy, and the other Corporation affairs were all handled by other AIs, the energy collected today would not be kept until the next day, every day the energy was newly produced.

X closed her eyes, enjoying the AI ​​Secretary's massage service, while thinking about how to relax after work —— Oh well, there was no private time, she still had to rush to solve Deans' matter.

Regarding Hod's problem, X still felt from many aspects, only relying on her one-sided understanding with Angela's words was not enough, maybe other Deans could give her some opinions and train of thought, such as Malkuth...

"Oh, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Angela, be gentle."

Then X suddenly felt the force on her shoulder increase, the original intensity was very comfortable, suddenly increased after that was a crackling sound.

[Manager, moderate pain will let the massage effect better]

Angela explained like that, X wanted to say something, but swallowed the words.

X probably accidentally made Angela lose interest, although X did not know the reason, but she knew that women always change erratically, temperament is unpredictable...

Understanding the corret corret corret principle, whatever the AI ​​Secretary said, it was that, X nodded completely.

Until the 'massage' ended, X fiddled with Angela's sleeve, pitifully asking her Secretary:

"Angela, can we go to Malkuth to play for a while?"

Before being allowed, X didn't dare to go, today's AI Secretary's mood really seemed to be not very good...

Although X was dull in many aspects, but she was not stupid, she knew how to read the atmosphere.

X carefully observed Angela's expression, but her expression most of the time was also the same, eyes closed, extremely calm, no difference, and every time would repeat meaningless polite words.

[ You don't need to ask me these things, you have the authority to enjoy freedom, you can do whatever is allowed in the Corporation, I am just your Secretary ]

Although AI Secretary said so, her hand stopped at X's waist, caressing X's waist, and did not have any intention of letting go.

Her mouth said freedom, but did not give X any space of freedom.

[ But Secretary... also provided any service for you ]

Angela whispered at X's side, The voice is as gentle and moving as the morning sun and dew.

X swallowed her own saliva, but as if she didn't understand, couldn't understand the meaning of Secretary's words, and acted as if she didn't see it, directly forgetting about it.

"Ah right, Malkuth has something to do with me!"

X quickly put on her white coat, then stood up and left, leaving only Angela as a 'person' waiting in the Manager's monitoring room.

X ran slowly to the hallway, after a short while she specially turned her head to see if Angela had come out yet, when she didn't find Angela, she breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that Angela would pull her back again.

—— Corporation's AI is too ██, her pearl assistant ——

—— How to complain about AI██?

She wanted to protect her own rights, to protect her life's safety.

X was really startled, what happened today? X felt that everything was wrong today, very strange.

Angela's words had a hidden meaning, the atmosphere was really not good, she didn't like it.

Sure enough, Malkuth was still better, X thought frivolously, if Malkuth was her own AI Secretary, how good would that be? Unfortunately, there was no if, Angela was her AI Secretary, only Angela.

"Malkuth, are you busy? Disturbing."

When X pushed the door to enter the office, Malkuth was still working, probably at... Writing a report.

"Hey, Manager, your condition today is not bad! I knew you were trustworthy! Sorry, there is nothing here to entertain you."

When she saw X enter, Malkuth immediately stopped, raised her head to greet X enthusiastically, then got up to look for drinks, only found a few bottles of cold tea, probably employees didn't like to drink it, so it was left here.

It's not that all Deans like to drink drinks, AI in fact doesn't need to eat, and Malkuth is always very busy, clearly not the type that has the leisure to enjoy drinks.

"This word should be said by me, hard work, Malkuth, it's all the result of everyone working together. But don't push yourself too hard, should rest a bit!"

X also didn't care much, although cold tea wasn't very good to drink, but occasionally drinking some unsweetened tea leaves wasn't bad, just by seeing Malkuth's cute appearance made X feel a lot less pressure.

When X interacting with AI Secretary, it always feels unnatural, but when interacting Malkuth feels very relaxed, not to mention Malkuth never spares praise...

This is the Dean X feels most assured of, but X is still very worried that Malkuth is always in such a hurry every day, the pressure may not be too great.

Malkuth's expression is full of vitality, embracing 100% enthusiasm for work... This part of enthusiasm seems to have been a bit stubborn, also not paying attention to the meaning in X's words, even though she is chatting, it is all work-related.

"Me? Manager, I can't rest yet, there are still many things waiting for me to finish. My work list is always full, just like the registration form in the emergency department."

"But I know, I can definitely do it! I just need to try a little harder, then… then... Oh, do you know? I'm very clumsy, always half a beat behind others, in the end I'll miss a lot of things."

As she spoke, Malkuth began to flip through the notebook she always carried with her, this notebook she almost never left.

"I'm too useless, always busy with many things to do, and I gain this and lose that, so I need someone to remind me what to do next, this is why I've never let go of this notebook!"

"Look... It's already very seriously damaged, I've had it since I first started working at the Control Department, it's always been with me."

Malkuth held up the book, as if to prove the authenticity of her words, and showed it to X. For a moment, X didn't know what she should say... Should she praise Malkuth or encourage her to continue trying?

She didn't know what to say now, X felt that Malkuth was very tired now, and that smile was more like a forced one.

Malkuth was willing to tell her these things, it could be considered that she had opened her heart, X patiently listened, as a listener listening to Malkuth's confession.

Even the most sunny people would have a time of mental depression, the most prominent under the sun also existed darkness...

People are multifaceted, and not just one face. Even snow can be divided into five layers, how many angles can people have to refract the sunlight?

"But you did very well, Malkuth, much better than me, Angela always said that I was not suitable as a Manager, and often affected the Corporation's image."

In short, X felt that her current temperament could be so gentle, more than half of it was also threatened by those disastrous endings.

Perhaps there will be some times, those smiles are from the heart, even though X always practices smiling towards the mirror, until now she still can't smile.

But now, X's words also don't bring any comforting effect, Malkuth's expression is very languid.

"Is that so, Manager... Your work is always so perfect that no flaws can be found, every task is completed quickly and well, you and I are not the same."

Maybe it's because of admiration, her voice has that kind of dreamy feeling, X doesn't understand why Malkuth would say these things, what is it about her that is worthy of Malkuth's worship.

She doesn't understand, doesn't understand.

Some times, there are some things, she also can't understand, maybe she doesn't want to... Or maybe it's just that she has never 'experienced' this kind of feeling for something like this.

So X could not say anything to comfort the person, she could only continue to listen silently.

Even if X didn't say anything, Malkuth could still control her emotions well, once again revealing a smile full of vitality and cuteness.

"Well, I know Angela sometimes really worries about me, but I'm now very satisfied with my state, I think I was born to do this, you understand!"

"It feels like… I was a member of Lobotomy Corp in my previous life... Ah, that something, it must be very strange ——"

[Malkuth, please complete the report I gave you today]

Then the words were interrupted, the AI ​​Secretary came in to interrupt Malkuth's words, the dignified AI Secretary stood at X's side, and wanted to collect the report from Malkuth.

"Definitely, boss! I will definitely complete it today! Good, I have to continue working, talking with you is really fun."

Malkuth immediately greeted Angela, then stood up from the sofa and prepared to return to her desk to continue working.

The words 'boss' were directed towards Angela, not X... Perhaps for Malkuth, her true superior was Angela, and X was just that by the way.

No... It should be said that all AIs are like that, Angela is all AI's leader.

[Alright, Manager, do you want to disturb her work here again?]

Angela tightly grasped X's palm, her fingers traced X's palm, her fingertips gently pressed on the softest place in the palm, itching a little.

"Oh... I know."

X was held by Angela's hand, she skillfully followed Angela behind, although there were still many things that she had not finished asking, but X still swallowed her doubts, after all who was the true boss here, the result was immediately obvious.

[ In fact, this place's AIs… Except for me, they all couldn't be stable.]

[Malkuth is the worst one among them, have you noticed?]

Angela's mouth corners revealed a little curve, AI instability for Corporation, should be a bad thing, but Angela is smiling...X can't understand, why Angela will smile.

"Maybe..."

[Manager, you are too naive, they are so bad that they always hide their bad side. However, she behaves so easily and obeys what others say, but I can't complain either.]

AI Secretary still holds X's hand while walking on the hallway, as if leisurely strolling in her own garden.
