Chapter 122 Ichijouji Reinas Daily Life Six

AI is truly amazing these days, isnt it. A middle-aged man said while looking at a hologram that displayed a game character.

Indeed, theyre almost indistinguishable from humans. Another middle-aged man said while nodding, What do you think of it, Reina? So bothersome. I didnt care about this in the slightest, but I suppose I should reply since he talked to me.

Their reactions are certainly very human-like, both when talking and dying. I replied. The man smiled at this reply, so it must have been the correct answer. Giving my opinion on this topic was the right choice.

After that, they went back to their own talk regarding the developments of AIs, which I promptly decided to ignore. It was a real bother that I had to attend those new year celebrations just because I was a noble, but I suppose it couldnt be helped.

As I thought of that though, a familiar face appeared, Hey, Reina, you free? Yahiko approached me while saying that.

Yes, sure. I replied. I didnt feel like talking to him much, but it was an excuse for leaving those middle-aged men.

Its a pleasure to see you, Mr. Kujo. One of the men talked to Yahiko just before we started leaving Annoying.

Such a rare occasion, to see the children of the dukes getting closer like that The other man said.

Well, theyre from the same school, arent they? The first of them two replied They must be thinking I have some form of romantic relationship with Yahiko How bothersome, whats the correct answer in this situation?

We dont have this kind of relationship, thank you very much. Yahiko told them

Oh, I see? One of the men said. So denying it is the correct choice? Lets follow along.

Its disgusting to see people assuming love just because a man and a woman know each other. I told them The three went silent when I said it, was it an incorrect choice? I thought making it clearer would be for the best though Lets try rephrasing it, Even the royal family can marry who they want these days, why should nobility need to care about arranged marriages?

I think shes a bit tired, so well take our leave first. Yahiko said while grabbing my hand and moving away from the two middle-aged men.

O-of course. I could hear one of them say as we moved out Was my complementation to the conversation incorrect too? How troublesome.

Once we reached a place we could talk at with ease, Yahiko said, Sorry about that, but arent you way too bad at mimicking others behaviors?

Not exactly, but I started replying, but he cut me off.

You dont really know what are the correct answers to give in those situations perhaps? He asked.

I just didnt have enough samples to work with for that scenario. I replied. Love talk is not something Im used to seeing after all Yahiko seemed to be better at this kind of thing than me though, Im a bit envious of that.

Well, you dont really need to say anything if you dont know what to say. Just smiling would probably be enough. He said.

Is that so? Ill keep it in mind. I replied, In any case, it seems like I have wasted enough time here, so Ill be going home. I told him as I noticed that Mr. Yamamoto had just arrived.

Alright, then. Lets play more later. He said as I left.

Sure, lets play again. I replied, and then got in the car.

******

I crushed the cake and threw it away The nerve of that man, how can he seriously leave a letter saying Happy New Year, there is a gift in your room while celebrating this with his family that involves the second wife and her children.

I torn the dress apart and threw it away too. As if I need a gift from that mother-in-law. I didnt grow out of the size of the clothes my mother gave me, so why would I need someone elses!? I especially dont need this womans clothes!

I broke the gorgeous hair clip and threw it away as well. Why does this sister-in-law think I need such an unpleasant thing in the hair that my mother gave me? I dont need a sister-in-law!

I destroyed the bouquet, throwing it out too. This brother-in-laws gift is unnecessary And I definitely dont want this person giving me moms favorite flowers, thats just annoying He absolutely cannot call me sister-in-law!

And I definitely dont need a gift from that man. Lets burn away this photo without even looking at it, why is he doing such nauseating things-!?

I cant throw this away. A beautiful old photo of mom I hate this man. I hate everything he does, but I cant hate this gift This is suffocating.

Mom I murmured to myself while hugging her photo and burying my face on the pillow. I really cant forgive that man, but this was a nice gift, lets take it for what it is I cant help feeling happy when seeing moms face from this photo, it is an important image that will be carefully saved in my memories

I hate this. Lets store this treasure in my treasure box, then destroy the packaging that the photo came in Now I finished throwing away all those useless gifts.
