Chapter 6: I Can't Live Without Remodeling

After hearing Ritimiele's words, Kite was speechless.

You just said you remodeled now, right?

"Remodeling...?"

"Yes. Now I'll take you to the control room."

Ritimiele didn't seem to find it particularly strange.

Seemingly unable to confirm Kite's intentions, he raised his hand, and a wall separating him from the side he entered opened.

"Here."

"Uh, ah, yes."

As I was thinking about how to answer, Ritimiele walked towards the wall.

Follow as prompted. A passage similar to the one we took earlier, slightly curved to the right. Upon my return, someone had blocked the room's entrance.

The emotion persisted for some time and produced a high-pitched sound. It appears that they are also wary of the term remodeling.

I didn't feel comfortable keeping quiet, so I talked to Ritimiele to gather information.

"It's a mysterious passage."

"Yes. The structure inside this celestial body changes depending on its purpose. Kite also constructed the previously mentioned interview room upon his arrival at this celestial body.

"Has the structure changed?"

In other words, does this mean that this passage is also a space that does not usually exist?

Kite, who was looking around the aisle, seemed very happy, while Ritimiele continued, shaking the hair on her body.

"Only a private room for living, a transfer room, and a control room remain fixed inside this celestial body."

"A private room to live in?"

"I'll create a separate room for Kite in a moment. Later, I'll introduce you to the staff here. It seems that they are all very interested in you."

Transfer room, operating room. There is no mention of the control room, so it must have been created for Kite.

They believe that modifying Kite's body is necessary. It may not come from malice.

Ritimiele's speech suggests there are alien emotions, but that doesn't mean they're Earthling emotions. My anxiety has subsided a bit, but I still feel anxious.

"We're here."

The wall moved at the same time as Ritimiele's cheerful voice. A very large space lies beyond my vision.

It does not match the image of the control room. It is spacious and tall enough to be classified as a large machinery factory.

"Hello, nice to meet you, Earthling."

It was a massive, functional device, possibly measuring three meters in length. The voice came from there.

It approached me with fluid motions and lifted an arm, speaking in a soft tone.

The working machine is called Dirganar.

He is believed to be an intelligence machine with federal citizenship. In other words, it seems to belong to the same family of emotions. It's weird because I feel like we're progressing just by giving citizenship to machine intelligence.

Perhaps, like Kite, Emotion will gain acceptance as a Federation citizen.

"This is now the revised category." This category encompasses genetic manipulation, mechanization, and a rare hybrid. Additionally, I prepared this because it was required by law.

Online, Dirganar presents several categories.

I see. Remodeling seems quite common to them. When I expressed my surprise, Ritimiele opened his mouth.

"Dirganar. Kite is from a planet other than our common sense. Let's show you the catalog first, shall we?"

"Ah, I see. I can't finish it; I'm in a hurry."

What is a puzzling machine intelligence?

In addition, Ritimiele. If you have such concerns, I urge you to consider the reason for the revision and see if it is true or false.

Kite was scared, so he decided to ask Ritimiele.

"Well, why did you renew it?"

"Image?"

Ritimiele didn't seem to understand what people were saying. This time, Dirganar exhaled steam from the exhaust port and let out an excited voice.

"Ritimiele, I guess you haven't explained clearly either."

"Yes?"

"You don't understand our common sense, do you? If I hadn't explained why I was altering my body, Mister would likely become concerned. In fact, my sensors are measuring the tension in my muscles and nerves."

Ritimiele looked at me. All of the body's hair turns pink at the same time.

"I'm sorry about this!"

Embarrassed or impatient? The hair on Ritimiele's body says more than his facial expressions and tone.

Kite decides to wait for them to explain and add more knowledge that may not be useful for his future life.

"Ah, I see. I understand."

Ritimiele and Dirganar's explanation is incredibly easy to understand.

If you ask me, I think that's obvious.

"I don't realize that you said this a long time ago. It's true that you can't live without remodeling."

Species born on different planets may naturally have different air composition requirements. Some species may not require oxygen to survive, but kites require oxygen to breathe, and they have created an element of air that enables earthlings to survive. The temperature is just as important as the air. Not every living environment will change its air composition for you. In order to live as a citizen of the Federation, Kite must undergo appropriate body modifications.

In addition, Dirganar continues.

"Nowadays, with the development of transportation, long-distance travel has become shorter, but until then, travel time was still a big problem. "With an organization's natural lifespan alone, a trip can take a lifetime." At the time, we attempted to address this issue by extending the life expectancy range by registering biological information and modifying the body.

"Ah, I see."

Does this mean that if people's life expectancy is extended, rather than just extending the lives of one or two people, then no matter how long the commute lasts, there will be fewer problems?

However, that was a long time ago. With the development of transportation, travel is no longer a waste of time, but modifications aimed at ending people's life expectancy are still ongoing.

"There is no particular reason to shorten its lifespan."

That's certainly true.

I decided to temporarily accept their good intentions and take a look at each of their categories. I'm really grateful for Earth's use of characters.

There were some things Kite could understand, but there were also things that were completely beyond his understanding.

"What I recommend is mechanizing the entire body. Mechanizing the entire body increases survival in harsh environments, connects numerous weapons, and is aesthetically pleasing.

"HM......"

Dirganar's explanation was really fascinating to me as a boy. However, Ritimiele snorted (I'm not sure if it's okay to use that expression) when she heard that.

"Why is machine intelligence promoting mechanization so much? Be careful, Mr. Kite. Mechanization is not at all common, even among federal citizens. Genetic and computer manipulation are the two most common. That's called transplantation. Both require less maintenance."

"Why would a person of natural origin try to make half-hearted changes like this? That's really absurd. Since regular maintenance is inevitable, it is better to be persistent and flexible. Although it is obvious,"

"That's obvious. Isn't it merely mechanization that disrupts your mental equilibrium after remodeling and necessitates personality maintenance at the central station? It's absurd that you can't completely eliminate the risk.

"What are you talking about? Previous court precedents clearly indicate that storing biological information entirely in the central station eliminates the risk.

Once the two started arguing, Kite carefully reviewed each category. I tend to take as many precautions as possible.

Personally, I don't like the high maintenance requirements. I know it's selfish, but I want to avoid someone's attention as much as possible. The time to get here is extremely free.

It was just a little dream that lit up Kite's heart. Or maybe you can pursue it by becoming a Federation citizen.

"Hello?"

Suddenly, one of the categories caught my attention. This is what Dirganar presented to me, without much enthusiasm.

I read it carefully and nodded a few times.

I really like this remodeling plan.

"I can't help it; is there a reason why this catalog is not good?"

When I asked the two people who were arguing, they both turned their eyes to me (Dirganar turned to the camera); Ritimiele had a really indescribable expression, and Digranar had an arm that was so obvious that it was easy to understand. shows movement.

Clearly, they have failed in this category.

"I say this in good faith, but... I think you should stop, sir."

"Yes, I agree with Dirganar on this whole thing."

That's why I at least asked him to explain the reason correctly.
