Robot Protection Zone Chapter 36

William gritted his teeth and spoke.

“Stay out of this new product launch. How people use robots is none of your business, Father.”

“To think a child who loved robots so much would turn out like this…”

As William’s father clicked his tongue and muttered, William’s expression contorted fiercely.

“That has nothing to do with it!”

“Alright. I’ll be on my way now.”

As William’s voice grew rough, his father slowly rose from his seat.

Didi watched William’s father get up, feeling disappointed. Seeing this, William’s father smiled benevolently, then spoke to William.

“I’ll borrow Didi for a little while. Since my own son is so cold, I’d like to talk with Didi a bit more.”

“…Do as you please.”

Didi turned to look at William with a bright expression.

However, even though the master had clearly given his permission, he was glaring at him with a fierce gaze. As if to say he wouldn’t let him get away with it if he followed…

But Didi wanted to talk with his father a little more. Didi pretended not to notice the blazing stare and followed his father outside.

Even as he left the house, the master’s reaction bothered him a little…

“Come to think of it, it’s time for dinner. Shall we have a meal together and talk?”

“Yes!”

He immediately forgot about such a trivial problem as if it had never been.

I thought I had been to most of the nearby restaurants with the master, but the place we soon arrived at was an unfamiliar restaurant I had never been to before.

As we opened the door and entered, a waiter, who seemed to recognize his father, naturally guided us to a quiet table. I sat down and looked around the interior. It was definitely a place I had come to for the first time, but strangely, there was a familiar atmosphere. Yes, just like the restaurant I used to go to with my old master…

His father and I continued our quiet conversation while waiting for our food.

“Does William treat you well?”

“There are times when he treats me well, and times when he doesn’t.”

“Haha, yes. He’s not a bad person, originally. He was a child who loved robots very much when he was young, but he changed a lot after that day.”

That day?

Come to think of it, a similar story had come up earlier. A story that it seemed only I didn’t know… What in the world had happened to the master? In the end, I couldn’t hold back my curiosity and asked.

“Did something happen to the master in the past?”

“Hmm… Did William not tell you? Then again, he’s not the type to talk about it himself.”

I nodded slightly. I had never had a chance to hear about the master’s past until now. Even if I searched the internet, all I found were sensational dating rumors, but there were no records of the master’s past.

His father, as if recalling a distant memory, continued with a slightly bitter expression.

“When William was young, Sophia broke down once. She was broken while trying to save William, who was about to be hit by a car, and her memory card was damaged, so all her data was lost.”

“Sophia…?”

“Yes, William seemed to be in great shock when the repaired Sophia returned and couldn’t remember him. After that, he wouldn’t even look at any robot other than Sophia. You’re probably the first robot William has brought home since then.”

“Ah…”

So that’s what happened. I felt like I understood why the master cherished Sophia so much.

Breaking the solemn atmosphere, the food began to arrive just in time. We started our meal and continued our quiet conversation. Throughout the meal, his father led the conversation kindly and comfortably, so I lost track of time talking with him.

Before I knew it, it was time to go home. I wanted to talk with his father a little longer, but I had to say goodbye. He must be tired, so I couldn’t hold him any longer.

I wished the car would arrive home a little more slowly, but it soon stopped in front of the master’s house. As if representing my reluctance to get out of the car, my hand was slow to unbuckle the seatbelt.

“Didi, if William torments you too much, would you like to come with me?”

At the sudden proposal, my eyes widened as I looked at his father.

It was an unexpected offer, but my heart stirred and I felt conflicted. Mr. Spencer before me resembled my old master so much. His appearance, his voice, and even his gentle demeanor… all of it…

But I quietly shook my head.

“No, I’ll go back to the master.”

If I hadn’t known anything, I might have followed him. But remembering the story I had just heard gave me conviction. The place where I belonged was, after all, by the master’s side.

Could it be that my old master also had a reason for sending me to William? If so, I wanted to stay by William’s side, following my master’s final wish.

His father smiled kindly. For some reason, it felt like my old master was smiling at me, and my eyes briefly welled up with tears.

“Alright. Go on in safely.”

“Yes. Goodbye.”

His father dropped me off in front of the house. It was a brief meeting, but a strong impression lingered, and I stood there for a long time until the car disappeared from view. I stood there blankly like that, and only after the car was completely out of sight did I enter the house.

“Welcome back, Didi.”

Sophia and Eve greeted me. And… I craned my neck, looking around the house. But I couldn’t see the master.

“Where’s the master?”

“William is in the study.”

That’s strange, the master is in the study.

With a nervous heart, I headed to the study where the master was. Come to think of it, he had glared at me as if he would scold me immensely when I returned home. I felt an impulse to turn around and go quietly back to my room. But if I did that, it was certain I would get a bigger scolding tomorrow.

Having no choice, I opened the study door and greeted him quietly.

“Master, I’m back.”

The master, who was standing in front of the bookshelf, narrowed his eyes as soon as he saw my face. His anger was so palpable that I couldn’t even meet his eyes and immediately lowered my head.

“Did you have fun? You were gone for a long time. You looked like you were about to follow him, but you managed to come back.”

“……”

“You had a face that looked like you were completely in love. Did your feelings change in that short time?”

The master was being extremely sarcastic. It was only for a moment, but since I had really thought about following him, I couldn’t say anything, feeling like he had hit a nerve.

As I flinched, the master’s face contorted even more. Did it show on my face? As I warily watched his expression with a tense gaze, the master took a step toward me with a very angry face.

Belatedly thinking I should make an excuse, I opened my mouth.

“It’s not like that… I just, his father…”

“Ha, his father?”

I tried to soothe the master’s mood, but it seemed to be of no use. I thought it would be better to just stay quiet, so I firmly shut my mouth.

“Come here.”

The master beckoned. In order not to provoke his anger any further, I didn’t hesitate and went straight to the master.

As I stood before him, the master suddenly reached out and yanked up my clothes.

“Ma-Master…!”

“I need to check if you’ve been fooling around with another guy behind my back.”

My face grew hot at the explicit choice of words. Nothing had happened at all, but the master was completely misunderstanding. In order not to let the unnecessary misunderstanding spread to his father, I had to clear it up quickly.

“I-I really just talked with his father…!”

“How can I believe that? Who knows if you did something perverted to my father, just like you kissed me in my sleep?”

“I-I didn’t do anything like that…!”

“And you expect me to believe that?”

The master bit down on my chest with his teeth.

“Ugh!”

When I tried to say something, the master bit my nipple. To keep me from opening my mouth… No, it seemed like he had no intention of listening to me in the first place.

“Hnngh…”

A hot tongue slowly and deliberately traced over the sharp pain. My tensed nipple hardened. As the master teased it with the tip of his tongue, a moan escaped me without my realizing. I bit my lip hard to hold back the sound.

“Master, you said you don’t date robots…”

“Do you have to be dating to do this?”

“Ugh… Hnngh…”

As I desperately held back the sounds with my lip bitten, my waist began to tremble. When I reflexively tried to pull my body back, the master’s arm wrapped firmly around my waist to keep me from escaping.

“Haah…”

When I stopped squirming, a large hand stroked my waist as if to say I had done well.

The soft, rustling hair tickled my bare skin. I couldn’t push the master away and could only watch as he bit and sucked on my chest.

Bite!

“Ah!”

As my body shuddered violently at the sharp pain I felt in my chest, the master released his lips and pulled away. I looked down and saw the clear bite mark left around my nipple.

Only after leaving a dark mark on my body did the master show a satisfied expression.
