I was listening to what was either Melody’s report or complaint—the latter seeming more accurate.

The 3D image of Melody’s upper body chattered on and on for a very long time, making me truly miss the era of cell phones when there was no face-to-face interaction. That way, I could let my thoughts wander or perhaps I could even handle other matters at the same time. Yet now I could only attentively listen to her complaints… I mean, report.

“The Robot Alliance sent another warning: if we don’t give the adjudication squad basic human rights, they will cease purchase of any products from the Sun Alliance.”

I asked skeptically, “Do they truly realize how many companies belong to the Sun Alliance?”

Melody shrugged. “I don’t even know how many there are.”

“Did we not explain to them long ago that the adjudication squad has no self-awareness?”

Extra 1: Household Head Butler—translated by Taffygirl13 (C/E edited by lucathia)

I stared in confusion at the contract in front of me. When the master had summoned me to sign a contract, I had assumed that the master here merely wished to more officially sign a butler contract. However, this is…

A contract that transfers all of the Ri family’s assets to me, in addition to 53% of shares of the Sun Alliance.

My eyes widened at the contract. I did not know how I should consider this or what this was about. Could this be another test?

I raised my head to see the master haughtily looking down at me as he commanded, “Sign.”

“…”

I could only shoot a pleading look at the young master for help.

“Ri Xiang Ye and Dark Sun. “The truth is, you have always been both of them, have you not? There is no difference between Ah Ye or Dark Sun. It has always been you!”

Highest master has issued a command: kill Charles Endelis.

“You took all the behavior that falls outside of your brother’s expectations, all the ideals that are unacceptable to society, and any characteristics that could be deemed ‘evil,’ and pushed them onto Dark Sun. This ‘Dark Sun’ persona is just a refuge for you to seek solace in!”

Highest master has issued a command: kill Charles Endelis!

“I have served you personally. No one is able to see this more clearly than me. When the criminals used hostages to threaten the heroes, you decided on killing to end the killing. When Josh’s ability became a threat, you decided to simply eliminate him to prevent any further trouble. When you made these and many other cold, calculated decisions, it was not as Dark Sun.”

Charles Endelis. Level of significance: 91.5%.

Highest master. Level of significance: 95%.

Following highest master’s command to kill Charles Endelis!

“Your coldness and innocence intertwine into an indivisible individual. How could you possibly separate them into two? They had never been two different people in the first place!”

Microchip, perform analysis: If the elimination target’s level of significance surpasses the highest master’s, what action should be adopted?

Unable to analyze.

Possibility of highest master changing?

Unable to analyze.

“Young Master, you are the one who does not want Dark Sun to vanish, because Dark Sun is your excuse for being unable to adapt to this world!”

If the elimination target’s level of significance surpasses the highest master, can the highest master’s command to kill be disobeyed?

…YES.

If Charles Endelis is more important than the highest master, could he do the reverse and command me to kill Gē—No! Cancel that inquiry! I won’t ask!

Do not answer!

“Charles Endelis! You must die!”

No one can be more important than Gēge—not even you, Charles!

The End NO.6: Family Head—translated by taffygirl13 (proofread by J Tao; C/E edited by lucathia)

“I forbid you from saving that vampire. You cannot have others do it either. He wanted to kill me! Don’t tell me your butler is more important than I am?”

Highest priority master has asked a question. Initiating action: Reply.

What kind of question is Gēge asking?!

“Gē, Charles is not more important than you.”

But why is Charles’ score so high? 91.5? Since when did it become that high? If he surpasses Gēge, then what would—No, impossible!

The purpose of Dark Sun’s existence is to protect Gēge. No one can be more important than him.

“Charles did not really want to kill you. I know it was your scheme from the beginning. What exactly do you want to—”

“Ah Ye, if I want you to kill Charles Endelis, what will you do?”

Highest priority master has issued a command. Initiating action: Obey.

Kill Charles Endelis—No! Charles cannot be killed.

“Gē, don’t say that! Don’t! I can’t control it anymore, Charles is—”

“Answer me!”

“…”

Highest priority master’s command received. Initiating action: Obey.

“I will follow your order and kill Charles Endelis.”

Initiating action: Kill. Target: Charles Endelis. Immediately taking effect.

“Ah Ye, wait a minute!”

“Yes, Gēge.” Turning, awaiting orders…

“You are not allowed to die. No matter what, your life is the most important.”

Command received: Own life takes precedence over assassination task.

“Yes, Master.”

The End NO.5: Having Feelings—translated by TaffyGirl13 (proofread by J Tao; C/E edited by lucathia)

Assessment: Highest priority master’s command and basic settings conflict. Shutting down and restarting.

Unidentified life form nearby. Status: Asleep. Not dangerous. Based on hair color and build, initial determination: Highest priority master… No! He’s, he’s….

Highest priority master is awake. Determining priority.

“Ah Ye?” Highest priority master’s tone determined to be uneasy. Amount of negative emotion: 70%.

“Master…”

Highest priority master’s negative emotions have instantly risen to over 90%. Determination: must ask status—No! There’s no need to ask at all! I called him by the wrong name! This isn’t some highest priority master. He… should be…

“Gēge.”

“Ah Ye! Is it really you, Ah Ye?”

Highest priority master’s emotions determined to be excited and joyous. Amount of positive emotion: 80%. Amount of negative emotion: Less than 50%. Response was correct.

“Ah Ye, Ah Ye, say it one more time.”

“Master Gēge.”

“One more time!”

“Gē…you’ve finally come.”

All of highest priority master’s data being loaded. Highest priority in command. Level of significance: 95%.

Not 100%, because there is always the unexpected. The system is set so that nothing can reach 100%. It doesn’t matter if it is only 95%, because no one will ever be more important than the highest priority master, than Gēge. This is enough.

“Sorry, I’m late. Ah Ye, from now on, you will never be hurt again. Gēge will protect you at all costs. No one will be able to harm you!”

“Mhm!”

I’m the same. Dark Sun will protect Gēge; Ah Ye will also protect Gēge. No one will be able to harm Gēge. Master Gēge will always be Ah Ye’s most important person!
