ALPINA

Therefore, not only Albert but also Quon, who accompanied her and was unnaturally fond of her, could not help but have similar feelings. No matter how genius a Human might be, or even if they were highly intelligent beings far beyond humans, the feelings toward them, existing in realms that humans could never reach as long as they were Human Children, were not just admiration but a kind of indifferent awe that surpassed respect. 


At the same time, they endeavored to process as much of the information given to them as possible, striving not to become a burden to them. Facing an amount of information far beyond what they had experienced as mere Humans until then, they fought with blood, sweat, and tears to grasp it with all their might. 


As a result, Albert still felt that Quon's brain processing capacity and memory had improved slightly. Whether this was objectively true or just a subjective misunderstanding, he could not judge, but he was convinced that there was some progress.
