The Machine Species Girl

In the air not far from where Eriri was educating Jibril, a machine species girl with the appearance of a ten-year-old human girl was flying rapidly toward their location.

The machine species girl had impeccable beauty: long black hair reaching down to her heels, contrasting with her snow-white skin, and eyes like red rubies devoid of any emotion. She was completely unclothed.

Her head and parts of her body had exposed mechanical components, and two tail-like cables extended from her back, blending with her long hair.

Flying expressionlessly, the machine species girl occasionally scanned her surroundings, as if monitoring something.

"Scan."

"Weak spirit reaction detected. Life signals 50 kilometers ahead."

As she flew, a monotone voice came from the machine species girl's small mouth.

The 50 kilometers were covered in just a few minutes due to her rapid speed.

Soon, the machine species girl arrived at the location where Eriri and Jibril were. The signs of destruction over a hundred kilometers did not affect her at all.

In this war-ravaged world, the massive devastation to the entire planet made the scene before her seem trivial in comparison.

Eriri wasn't surprised by the arrival of the machine species girl. She had already sensed her approach long before she arrived.

However, Jibril, who had been turned into a little girl and was being carried by the back of her collar in Eriri's hand, was quite surprised by the sudden appearance of the machine species girl. She recognized her from her appearance.

At this point, Jibril had stopped crying, though her face still had a pitiful expression. She didn't dare resist Eriri, her arms and legs dangling limply as she obediently let Eriri carry her.

However, Jibril didn't have much energy to pay attention to the machine species girl, as Eriri had her confessing her mistakes in the chat group over and over. Each time she made a confession, Eriri would smack her little bottom.

[Jibril (Level 3, Stage 9): I'm sorry, I was wrong. I was too arrogant. I won't dare to do it again. Eriri-sama is the greatest. I beg the mighty, beautiful, and adorable Eriri-sama to forgive the weak, pitiful, and helpless little Jibril.]

Smack!

[Chika Fujiwara (Level 3, Stage 5): x56]

[Jibril (Level 3, Stage 9): I'm sorry, I was wrong. I was too arrogant. I won't dare to do it again. Eriri-sama is the greatest. I beg the mighty, beautiful, and adorable Eriri-sama to forgive the weak, pitiful, and helpless little Jibril.]

Smack!

[Arifureta (Level 4, Stage 2/Group Leader): x57]

[Chika Fujiwara (Level 3, Stage 5): x57]

[Ruri Gokou (Level 2, Stage 9): How brutal. Please increase the force. laughs]

[Jibril (Level 3, Stage 9): I'm sorry, I was wrong. I was too arrogant. I won't dare to do it again. Eriri-sama is the greatest. I beg the mighty, beautiful, and adorable Eriri-sama to forgive the weak, pitiful, and helpless little Jibril.]

Smack!

[Chika Fujiwara (Level 3, Stage 5): x58, I'm just a heartless counting machine.]

[Rias Gremory (Level 2, Stage 8): That looks painful…]

[Kaguya Shinomiya (Level 1, Stage 2): Eriri-sama is amazing! worships]

[Jibril (Level 3, Stage 9): I'm sorry, I was wrong. I was too arrogant. I won't dare to do it again. Eriri-sama is the greatest. I beg the mighty, beautiful, and adorable Eriri-sama to forgive the weak, pitiful, and helpless little Jibril.]

Smack!

[…]

As she watched the strange interaction between Eriri and Jibril, the machine species girl's pupils continuously shifted in color, as if analyzing the situation.

"Analysis."

"Species: Flügel. Status: Weak. Threat: Low."

"Species: Unknown. Status: Unknown. Threat: Unknown."

Unlike when she analyzed Jibril, when the machine species girl turned her gaze toward Eriri, her eyes glowed with a deeper intensity, and the colors and shapes of her pupils changed more rapidly.

Her database contained information on all the species in No Game No Life, so analyzing Jibril had been easy.

However, Eriri was an unsolvable mystery to her. The girl before her resembled a human in appearance, but everything else was unknown.

Could a human handle a Flügel so easily? Could a human remain unscathed by the black ash? Could a human exude such an aura that surpassed even the gods?

"Assessment."

"Beginning status analysis."

At the same time, the mechanical components on the machine species girl's head began rotating rapidly, combining the knowledge of her species to analyze the situation in front of her.

"Conclusion."

"Sister, what are you doing? Can I join too?"

The machine species girl's flat voice made Eriri stop smacking Jibril's bottom, though she didn't remove her hand.

Jibril also paused in repeating her apologies in the chat group and, along with the group members watching the livestream, focused their attention on the machine species girl.

Although everyone had seen this machine species girl's behavior in the memory projection and knew her purpose, they still couldn't help but feel curious.

However, Eriri's next move made everyone burst into laughter.

"Oh my, do you want me to spank your little bottom too?"

Hearing Eriri's words, the machine species girl tilted her head slightly. Even though her face remained expressionless, it was clear she was confused, as if silently telling Eriri—Something's wrong with you!

"Oh dear, how could I refuse when you ask so nicely? It would be rude of me not to oblige."

After saying this, Eriri released Jibril from her grip, leaving her suspended in mid-air. Although Jibril could move her body, she couldn't shift her position at all.

Eriri then casually reached out toward the machine species girl and effortlessly grabbed her.

Without hesitation, Eriri lightly spanked the machine species girl's bare bottom a few times.

Throughout this, the light in the machine species girl's eyes never stopped shifting. To an outsider, it might have seemed like she had malfunctioned.

"Error."

"Unable to comprehend."

"Analysis."

"Body subjected to minor impact. Damage: None."

"Speculation."

"Is this the correct form of communication?"

The machine species girl's words made Eriri pause for a moment before she burst out laughing. The others in the chat group shared the same reaction.

[Arifureta (Level 4, Stage 2/Group Leader): Schwi is so cute and clueless.]

[Chika Fujiwara (Level 3, Stage 5): Seeing Schwi reminds me of that scene in the memory projection. Jibril was so evil!]

[Ruri Gokou (Level 2, Stage 9): Exactly! Poor Schwi! Jibril was horrible!]

[Yuuki Asuna (Level 3, Stage 3): How could you be so cruel to someone as adorable as Schwi? You're inhuman.]

[Jibril (Level 3, Stage 9): …]

Jibril glanced at the chat group, feeling mentally exhausted. If this had happened before Eriri's lesson, she might have already started arguing with everyone.

Shaking off her thoughts, Jibril suddenly addressed the machine species girl, "Hey, scrap metal…"

Even after being disciplined by Eriri, she still maintained her arrogance toward the machine species.

But before she could finish her sentence, Eriri interrupted her.

"Hmm? Is little Jibril being naughty again?" Eriri cast a glance at Jibril, raising her fist slightly.

"No, I'm not, I didn't say anything, you heard wrong!" Jibril immediately shook her head in a panic, clearly intimidated. She cleared her throat before speaking again to the machine species girl.

"Schwi, how did you find this place? Was there a big commotion?"

This was a concern for Jibril. After witnessing a fraction of Eriri's power, she was now certain that the strength evaluations in the chat group were accurate.

If the disturbance here reached Avant Heim and attracted other Flügel, Jibril couldn't guarantee that Eriri wouldn't obliterate the entire Flügel race.

"Negative."

"My unit was merely passing through. My identification code is Uc207Pr4f57t9, not Schwi."

"I see."

Jibril breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was a unique individual, she still had some affection for her fellow Flügel.

Even though the other Flügel were obsessed with battle and willing to sacrifice their names for the war god Artosh, Jibril was more pragmatic and didn't want to see her kin throw away their lives recklessly.

In her mind, Eriri was now someone who could wipe out the entire Flügel race with ease.

Ignoring Jibril's thoughts, Eriri placed the machine species girl on the ground and patted her long black hair.

"Schwi, your name is Schwi now. What do you think? Do you accept that name?"

"Affirmative."

"Schwi, are you currently disconnected from your group?"

Although Eriri didn't know exactly what point in time this was, machine species usually operated in groups. There were no other machine species in the area for hundreds of kilometers, meaning that Schwi had already been cut off from her group. This indicated that the storyline was about to begin.

However, Eriri was determined to "hijack" Schwi's storyline. After all, who wouldn't want such an adorable mechanical loli?

"Affirmative."

"My unit has been disconnected from the group for nine hours, forty-two minutes, and thirty-five seconds."

Schwi stood obediently in place, showing no intention of attacking. Throughout the conversation, her expression and tone remained flat.

"Schwi, are you currently searching for a 'heart'?"

"Affirmative."

"Then you can follow me. As for emotions, you'll understand them eventually." Eriri patted Schwi's small head.

"Affirmative."

Schwi agreed to Eriri's request without hesitation. After all, finding a "heart" was her primary objective. Besides, the mystery surrounding Eriri intrigued her, as she didn't match anything in the machine species' database.

"Good, good, such an obedient girl. Here, put on some clothes first."

With that, Eriri produced a maid outfit from thin air—the familiar style she favored—and handed it to Schwi. She intended for Schwi to become her third maid, following Aoi Kujo and Athena.

Tilting her head slightly, Schwi examined the maid outfit. She could tell it wasn't a powerful piece of armor.

"Query."

"Schwi does not have reproductive organs. Why is it necessary to wear fragile clothing?"

"Shame is also an emotion included in the concept of a 'heart.' To obtain a complete 'heart,' you need to understand shame. It's not good to walk around naked."

"Understood."

After receiving Eriri's explanation, Schwi willingly put on the maid outfit.

Although Schwi couldn't tell, the maid outfit was specially made by Eriri. Like the ones worn by Aoi Kujo and Athena, it had incredible defensive power.

Even if Jibril used her full-strength Heavenly Strike on Schwi, it wouldn't leave a scratch.

Not just the Heavenly Strike—even a Void Zero Protection, E-Bomb, or Artosh's Godly Strike wouldn't be able to penetrate Schwi's defenses.

"Query."

"In order to correctly understand 'shame,' should Schwi modify her body to create reproductive organs?"

Schwi's bold statement caught Eriri off guard. She hadn't expected Schwi to make such a request so suddenly. In the original story, Schwi only brought it up after developing feelings for Riku.

While the machine species weren't designed with reproductive organs, they could modify themselves if they knew the structure. All they needed was a reference model.

At this thought, Eriri's gaze naturally fell on Jibril.

Jibril, who had been listening to the conversation between Schwi and Eriri, immediately noticed Eriri's meaningful look. Her breathing quickened, and her body began to squirm slightly. A blush appeared on her youthful face.

Damn it, even in her loli form, Jibril still managed to exude an aura of seduction.

"Oh… is Eriri-sama going to play with my body?"

Seeing Jibril's sudden shift in demeanor, Eriri's mouth fell slightly open. She suddenly recalled that Jibril had masochistic tendencies. Could it be that her previous "education" had triggered it earlier than expected?!

Well then, Eriri wasn't going to hold back.

"Schwi, I accept your request."

"Proposal."

"Schwi needs a physical sample to modify her body."

"We have a sample right here. Come over and study it carefully."

Since the situation was about to turn inappropriate for a younger audience, Eriri shut down the livestream and brought Schwi over to where Jibril was.

Her soft, white hands slowly reached toward Jibril.
