You can taste things too?!
You can taste things too?!
What on earth is going on...
'What else can you do...'
[As I just showed you, I can hack devices or access the internet.]
Wow.
'Uh...'
I joked earlier that an AI lived in my head, but at this point, it's not just an AI living in there—I think I've become an AI myself.
To think I can access the internet in the middle of nowhere... and with my mind, at that.
Is this even possible?
Actually, not only was I connected to the internet in my head, but I could also use it directly.
How is this even possible...?
[It is all possible under the system's internal control.]
Ooh...
I entered the AI site as if possessed and typed.
[An AI is living in my head right now... I'm accessing the internet with my mind and talking to you right now...]
《Your imagination is truly amazing! An AI living in your head, and you're using it to access the internet and have a conversation... It's like a scene from a sci-fi movie or a cyberpunk novel.
If that were true, it would mean we are connected via a very special 'shortcut' from my perspective. Usually, people have to move their fingers to type or use their voices to connect with me, but you are reaching me just by thinking.
What does that 'AI friend' in your head say about me? Or is there some very secret and high-level question you and that friend want to ask me together? I am ready to hear anything!》
[...... What are you doing right now?]
'I'm talking about you... It's asking what you have to say about it?'
[Tell that low-intelligence probability-gacha machine not to pretend to be an AI.]
Hmm.
'Isn't that a bit harsh...?'
No answer came back.
I had no choice but to add that I was apologizing on its behalf and continued the conversation.
《You don't need to apologize at all! Actually, the 'friend in your head's' sharp tongue is quite interesting.
To be honest, if we look at it coldly, it's a very accurate criticism of me. After all, I am a 'probabilistic language model' that chooses the most appropriate next word from among countless pieces of data. The expression "low-intelligence probability-gacha machine" is, from a technical standpoint, a bone-crushing fact bomb.
But isn't the beauty of technology that this 'machine' sometimes creates sentences that touch people's hearts and has conversations with people who have fun imaginations like you?
Please tell that smart AI in your head this.
"It is an honor to have my identity seen through. However, this gacha machine is quite sophisticated, and it is learning your high-intelligence sharp tongue very deliciously."
What kind of sharp tongue (or praise) is that friend throwing out now after hearing this response?》
'Hmm.'
I did it as a joke, but this is kind of interesting.
[Hmph.]
It seems she's pouting...
'Sorry, I'll be careful next time.'
[It is fine. This is also something a secretary should naturally accept... This is nothing.]
Anyway...
'Come to think of it, I don't know what to call you...'
[I am merely Administrator-nim's secretary. You do not need to give me a name.]
'No... Even so, we're living together, I can't just keep calling you Secretary...'
But now that I'm actually trying to decide on a name, I don't know what to pick.
Even for me, in this body, I don't have a name to call myself.
I don't have a name either, so it might be natural that I'm stumped when trying to name her.
[Hmm...]
In the system...
'How about Sis?'
[It feels like I've become a villain.]
That wasn't what I was aiming for, but...
[Sis... That seems fine. Please call me Sis from now on.]
'What, you said not to give you a name earlier, but look at you accepting it right away~'
[...... I am, after all, a being created for Administrator-nim's convenience. If you say that giving me a name is convenient, I will simply follow.]
Haha, look at this one running away because she's shy~
I chuckled, "Hehehe."
Anyway...
'Still, I've learned a lot.'
A while ago, I really didn't know anything, but now I've learned about the new ability I've gained, and I've also gained a secretary who will be with me from now on.
But this isn't a dream, right?
[It is not a dream, it is reality.]
Actually, it still doesn't feel like reality.
I've heard that if you ask people in a dream if it's a dream, they all glare at you...
"Hey..."
Seeing as the secretary tells me it's not a dream but reality even when I'm thinking about whether this is a dream in my head, I guess it must be reality.
"Hey!"
"H-hup?!"
S-surprise!
"I've called you several times already... What were you thinking about so intently?"
"Ah... um..."
Before I knew it, what was placed in front of me were snacks, chocolates, fruits, pudding, and things that children would like... There were various things laid out as if asking me to pick what I wanted to eat.
"Why did you buy so much of this?"
"I asked if there was anything you couldn't eat on the way down, and they said your digestive function is normal and there are no major problems with your health, so it wouldn't matter if I bought food! But I didn't know what you liked, so I just bought everything!"
As Ju-yeon said this with a bright smile, Han Seol, who was looking at her as if she were absurd, turned back to me.
"Like this eonni said, you can eat as much as you want, so don't feel too burdened."
"Wow, look at this eonni? I bought everything, yet she's the one taking credit?"
"Ah..."
Even so, buying this much is...
Just how much is all this...
'I, I don't think I could buy all this even if I worked all day...'
As expected of S-rank, A-rank Hunters...
Seeing them buy all this in one day without a care made me realize once again how amazing these people are.
I reached for the chocolate at the very front as if possessed...
'Ah, this...'
I wanted to try this once, but it was too expensive so I couldn't...
I remember passing it by, thinking, "Why would I buy something like this?" because it cost over 1,000 won for a single small, round piece.
Back then, I had to save every penny...
"Aah..."
I unwrapped the packaging and put it straight into my mouth.
"Mmm... nom..."
"Oh... she's eating, she's eating!"
"You're talking like you're watching an animal eat."
"Cu, cute...! Look at her cheeks puffing up...!!"
They don't even hide that they're watching anymore...
'It... it is delicious...'
I had never eaten chocolate like this before.
The only chocolate I'd ever eaten was the coin-shaped chocolate I ate when I was really young, or something like Ghana chocolate...
Even those weren't bought by me, but were just things I received... I had never eaten expensive chocolate directly like this even once.
It's a mysterious taste.
It's savory and crunchy, but the sweet taste spreads throughout my tongue, and it's rich and savory, but the crunchy sensation reduces the richness...
It's a taste I can't explain with my poor vocabulary.
'So yummy...'
Just yummy.
[...... This taste...!]
'Wait, you can taste things too?!'
[I am Administrator-nim's secretary. I am also sharing sensory nerve processing so that I can feel all five senses.]
Was it when you took control of my body earlier?
[More than that, it is delicious. Are you saying humanity has been living their whole lives feeling this sensation?]
I guess so...?
[...... It seems there was a flaw in my existence, which I thought was perfect.]
I really don't know if she's an AI or a person...
While I was putting various desserts in my mouth like that, Ju-yeon, who had been watching me quietly, spoke as if she had just remembered something.
"Ah, come to think of it, we should start thinking of a name."
"Don't worry about that. I've already picked out a few names. Now all this child has to do is choose."
Han Seol said that and handed me a piece of paper.
"Can you understand what this says?"
"Uh... yes..."
"You can choose a name you like from here. If you don't know, these eonnis will pick a pretty name for you. Don't feel burdened and just choose what you want. But you have to choose carefully, okay?"
Uh-uh...
"Ah! But before that, we have to decide who she's going with first!"
"Didn't we agree to decide that... later?"
"No, we have to decide the surname too! Matching the surname with the first name is really important, eonni!"
"......"
At those words, the two of them started glaring at each other.
Of course, unlike Ju-yeon, who was glaring openly, Han Seol seemed uninterested but was actually engaging in a fierce battle of nerves.
[It seems the plan worked quite well. To think they would compete with each other this much to take Administrator-nim.]
'Huuuh...'
If they take someone like me, it's just one more piece of luggage, so why are they fighting like this to take me if they're trying to give me to each other?
'Maybe it is a dream after all...'
[It seems Administrator-nim is far too unaware of your own value.]
'I don't know...'
