An Irresponsible Mother (Master), A Furious Daughter (Robot)

I, Seyi Falt, had cleared the dungeon.

The moment the dungeon vanished, the soft stones I wanted would vanish too!

However, the highly capable robot maid Cherge had collected what I wanted! Luv youuu!

“Fuh… well, what do you think, Creator? Your disciple is now utterly smitten with me. In conclusion.”

Cherge said that to someone.

Creator…?

“Ah, you mean Master.”

This robot maid had originally been created by my master, Nicholas Flamel.

She had made her guard Master’s workshop for a very long time, then left her alone for five hundred years.

Maybe that was why hatred seeped from Cherge’s words in a way she could not conceal. Now then… as for that Creator Flamel…

“Creator? Whom do you mean?”

“No, you! I mean you!”

“Mm? Me?”

“Yes, you! You are the one who made Cherge!”

My flashy rainbow-haired Master Flamel walked over and stared intently at Cherge.

“Did I make something like this, I wonder?”

“………………”

Cherge, standing beside me…

…had a throbbing vein pop on her forehead.

A vein!? I never gave her emotional motion functions, though!?

“Master. Permission to fire. In conclusion.”

Bang…!

“No, you already fired before getting permission!?”

“My apologies, my hatred has reached MAX. In conclusion.”

This out-of-control robot maid had fired a handgun point-blank at Master’s forehead!

Well, I understood the feeling, but still!

“…You gave birth to me, left me alone for five hundred years, and now you do not even remember giving birth to me…? Haha, hehe…”

“Ch-Cherge-san…?”

“You’ve got to be kidding meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

The robot maid completely snapped!

She pulled Magic Machine Guns out of storage, one in each hand.

Ratatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatata!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Hey, hey, stop! Cherge, stoooop!”

“Do not stop me, Master! I cannot kill this thing otherwise!”

“Didn’t the way you talk just change!? Also, your emotions! Haven’t they awakened!?”

Ahh, what was even happening anymore!?

Cherge kept up the machine-gun barrage for a while.

“Tch, out of ammo… it seems you got lucky.”

“No, no, you straight-up killed her there…”

Well, I doubted something like that would actually kill her, though.

“Heave-ho.”

“Ah, see, she is alive.”

“Tch…!”

Bang…!

Cherge immediately fired another headshot from her handgun into Master’s forehead.

But before the bullet could strike Master’s brow, it vanished.

“It’s useless, Cherge. Master can use [Probability Control].”

“Tch…!”

Cherge made a face that looked genuinely furious.

Wow, this realism was hard to believe for a robot.

What was going on? I had not installed emotional motion functions.

“…Lady Seyi.”

“Ah, Zenith-chan. Sorry, we got carried away with our little internal drama.”

“…No, more importantly, what is Lady Flamel’s [Probability Control]?”

“Exactly what it sounds like: the ability to manipulate the probability of events. Even something guaranteed to happen with 100 percent certainty can be made into 0 percent. And the reverse is possible too.”

For example, Cherge had definitely, absolutely, one hundred percent killed Master just now.

But Master could turn that 100 into 0—in other words, make it [as though it never happened].

“…That is beyond the domain of man.”

“I agree with that. Well, she is already a monster just by having lived over five hundred years in the first place.”

Master Flamel laughed merrily.

Meanwhile, Cherge kept directing the emotion of hatred at her.

“Seyi. Splendid indeed.”

“What brought that on all of a sudden?”

“You shared a Mana Potion with this robot, did you not?”

“Huh? Ah, right. She was nearly out of mana during the fight with the Demon God.”

Cherge was a robot, but her power source was the mana stored inside her.

So I had shared with her some Mana Potion that I had only just made from the Demon God as an ingredient.

“Thanks to the special Mana Potion you made, Seyi, even the robot’s performance improved. As a result, facial expressions were installed, you see.”

“No, no, no… a robot getting a version upgrade from a potion is impossible.”

“Indeed. And yet, to make the impossible possible—that is precisely what makes you a woman worthy of being the disciple of me, the Great Sage! Splendid indeed, Seyi!”

I did not understand the logic, but apparently the reason this maid had gained emotions was because of my potion.

It was not as if I had made it with that in mind, and it was not really why I shared the Mana Potion either.

“Master… I thank you.”

“Cherge? …Eek!”

Th-this robot… she looked seriously pissed.

At this point… she had the most furious expression I had ever seen on her face!

“…You so easily forgot about your own daughter, me. And yet you still remember your beloved disciple even after five hundred years… heh, hehe…”

“Ch-Cherge?”

“This… this feeling of wanting to beat this bastard to death from the bottom of my heart… so this… is what anger is.”

This was bad—she was about to blow up…!

“Everyone, evacuate!”

“““Huh?”””

The people of the royal capital just stood there in a daze! Prince Brockes was there too, somehow!

“I said run! Unless you want to die!”

I pulled out a Teleportation Potion.

And the instant I smashed it against the ground—

The robot maid had shouldered Magic Rocket Launchers on both shoulders!

“Drop deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeead, you shitty parennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnt!”

Fwoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!

…Before Cherge’s anger could explode in the literal sense, I managed to escape with the people of the royal capital.
