NOVEL NEXT Chapter 9: RECOVERING CONNECTIONS
-So?...my son with Eris....married Aisha huh?....-
"Yes..." Roxy said, avoiding my gaze.
"You didn't really react very well, Rudy," Sylphie said, putting a piece of bread in her mouth.
"I think so..." I responded trying to hide my anger.
We are currently having dinner in the kitchen, after Orsted left to give us some privacy.
Sylphie immediately set about making dinner while Roxy helped her.
I immediately noticed how nervous they were as they looked at me from the corner of their eyes when I was in the living room.
The great-grandchildren... I mean my great-grandchildren went to their respective
They were picked up by their parents
I had the opportunity to meet them....
It was surreal to meet your own grandchildren at just 17 years old and for them to be older than you.
and also too many things that the original Rudy did seem incredible and surreal to me and which I am discovering little by little
One of the things that surprised me the most was...
....
....
"Mistress Sylphie, is the bathroom ready for use?" said Nanahoshi?... with a totally expressionless face and dead fish eyes.
"Nanahoshi? What are you doing here and dressed like that?!" I shouted as I stood up abruptly from the table, knocking over the chair.
"R-Rudy, calm down, she's not Nanahoshi, she's your automata... I mean... the automata that your future version created," Roxy said as she approached me and made me sit down again.
-Indeed my creator, you Rudeus Greyrat created me in the image of your friend Nanahoshi Shizuka, my name is Anne and I am programmed to do the housework- Anne said with the same expressionless face and totally dead tone
-i-i see- I said perplexed, for a moment I couldn't help but think that I could have brainwashed my friend and enslaved her that way.
We finished dinner and Sylphie and Roxy went to take a bath together, which surprised me, and to think that the two of them would get along so well to the point of sharing me... although well, their friendship must have been forged over the decades and now they seem inseparable.
and from what I was told, Norn made a fuss when my future version introduced Roxy to the family.
I thought about taking a bath with them, the idea of bathing with those two naked beauties in the jaccuzi-bathtub... the very idea made me drool
-No! Rudeus thinks, they must be in shock, it hasn't even been a day!- I said to myself as I climbed the stairs to my study.
Sylphie told me that I have many things in it and which they did not dare to review or remove except for a diary that my future version wrote a few months after I returned from Rapan.
I walked into my studio and I was immediately stunned.
the walls were full of pictures of Sylphie, Roxy and Eris
It caught my attention that at one point they stopped being paintings and became photos.
The paintings captured the beauty of the three girls in angelic poses.
and the photos showed their most genuine expressions
a photo of Roxy in her bedroom getting ready for her classes, a photo of Sylphie knitting a scarf for one of her grandchildren
a photo of Eris brandishing a wooden sword while my grandchildren are stunned...a photo of me holding what Sylphie told me is my first grandson...Leroy...Ars's son with Aisha... ..
in the photo I'm crying
and like that there are many photos
photos that capture moments of my life...moments of my life that I have lost and will never return
Without realizing it, I began to cry as I squatted in the center of the room.
I lost my whole life in an instant, it won't come back and there's nothing I can do to get it back...
(sigh)
Another chance at life was wasted.
"But it wasn't my fault," I murmured as I wiped away my tears.
"Master Rudeus, would you like a cup of tea?" said Anne, who had stood behind me without me realizing it.
"Ah!...yes, Anne, a cup of tea would do me good," I said as I stood up, wiping my tears.
"Are you okay, Master Rudeus? Is there something bothering you? I'm here for whatever you need," Anne said with her characteristic expressionless tone but with a tiny tone of concern that in my opinion was faked.
-no..it's nothing, it's just that this is too overwhelming, you know? Losing more than 50 years of your life for something out of your control is something that is destroying me....
"I see, Master Rudeus," Anne said before hugging me and caressing my head.
"Everything will be fine now...now" she said while patting me on the head that actually looked like slaps...her hug was also too strong...very strong...ah! hurts!
"Thank you Anne, I'm fine now," I said as I separated her from me with all my strength.
"I'm glad, Master Rudeus, my duty is to serve you and ensure your safety," Anne said as she looked at me with those lifeless eyes.
"I see, hey, can you tell me what purpose you were created for? Besides how good it is to be a robot Maid?" I told Anne.
- Of course, because Miss Nanahoshi cannot return to her world and in addition to the fact that she is waiting for the person known as Shinoari Akihito, you created me in the image and likeness of Miss Nanahoshi with the help of my co-creator Mr. Zanoba, like this with your image, when Mr. Akihito arrives in this world and meets one of my automatic sisters, they are programmed to guide Mr. Akihito with Mr. "Orsted to contact Miss Nanahoshi," Anne said, always maintaining eye contact with those lifeless eyes.
"I see, it's an incredible strategy on my part hehehe," I said with a mocking smile.
"Indeed, although it was partly at the suggestion of Miss Nanahoshi, the merit cannot be taken away from you, Master Rudeus," said Anne.
-I see, it's incredible...well I'm incredible hehehe, so what are your schedules Anne?
"I was programmed to serve my master and my masters, who are you and Miss Sylphie and Roxy, I also let you protect you and protect myself," Anne said.
I see the laws of robotics eh?
-so all your sister models are programmed and designed in the same way?-
"Indeed, but since Anne is the first automaton, I am the only one of my sisters who has this," said Anne before opening her shirt and showing me her breasts...
What? Those things look extremely realistic... what the hell was my future version thinking?...
can I touch them?
I could do it, right? She is designed to serve me, right?
I thought as I brought my hands closer to her humble tits.
They are soft....in fact too soft...so much so that they look real....
"No! Leave that, Greyrat!," I scolded myself before closing Anne's shirt.
really...my future version never changed huh?
