First Trial Act - Android Toy Met

A new day came and with it another quest.

“A whole brand new robot mascot has come to the stores, but the naughty thing escaped. Please find it in your part of the Island until the dawn. If you do find it, you can choose between keeping it or selling it for coins after receiving your daily food.”

I thought the pink robot was lying when it said not everything will be related to sex, but there is really quests like this which is just to find something lost.

“How do you want to search for it?” Emma asked after we left our house in the morning.

“How about you search in the part near the robot wall and I search near the ocean? And when it’s noon we come back here to lunch with the rest of the food of yesterday.” I said. “Not even dare to play a prank, I will be really worried if you don’t come back at noon.”

“Yes, Sir.” Emma had taken a liking to feign to be a soldier when talking to me.

Do I sound like one?

I went looking first near the red ocean.

It was just still as ever.

A shame it was supposedly poisonous, I would love to play in the ocean with Emma.

I couldn’t also check it as it was against the rules.

The pink robot left the consequences of breaking a rule in the ‘air’, but I won’t be the one to test it.

Later I searched around the trees, but then it was almost noon by the time I was mostly done of it so I gave up and went back home.

Emma was waiting for me with a grin stamped on her face.

“Try to guess what I find?” She swang the robot in her hands.

It was at the same size as a soccer ball, and looked human?

It had clear robot divisions in the members and face as if to be possible to rearrange the entire thing just like Lego toys.

But it was quite feminine looking, too much if I had to say since this was at a level beyond barbie toys.

She was purple looking with black metallic members and hair, her eyes were a pure red with a round smaller circle around her pupils.

Her dress - if I could call that of clothes - was a mess of black and purple patches but it covered her well to make an impression of something grander than it is.

She was also like the pink robot in the aspect of her not showing any emotions and not offering resistance to Emma, but I could see deep down there in her eyes.

There existed the light of an intelligent being.

It was alive and was feigning to be emotionless or was just cold, anyway that wasn’t a normal toy.

“To the robot still be here, did you choose to be it become a pet?” I said, pinching the cheeks of the robot to see how she would react or at least discover the texture of her skin.

It was really soft and not metallic at all, what a high technology as expected of beings who made a wall of robots just to trap us.

Though now that I think about it, isn’t that overkill and unnecessary? Wouldn’t a normal wall work just fine?

“No, I wanted your opinion first. We are partners, aren’t we? We always decide everything together.” Emma said with a bright smile.

“Say the woman who just began to blow me without waiting for my consent.” I went on to pinch Emma’s cheeks now.

“Y-You’re getting on a bad habit.”

“I don’t care about selling the robot for coins, so I’m fine with it becoming our pet. But why do you want it?” I stopped after having my fun with her.

She swang the robot once again at my front to make her point. “Why wouldn’t I with how cute she is? Don’t your gamer blood boils by having an android like this coming from M-”

“No, it doesn’t.” I opened the app on the watch and clicked to maintain the robot as a pet.

Notifications came back and forth, and our food for the day was earned.

If we economize how much we eat then it would be there days which won’t be necessary to do quests if they are too hard.

“Which name should we give to her?” Emma asked after eating the lunch and putting the robot on the table.

“Whatever you want if she doesn’t have a name already.” I picked the robot and asked it a question. “Do you have a name?”

After being accepted as our pet, the pet began to show more signs of intelligence and even answered now in an emotionless voice. “I never received what should be called of ‘name’ beyond my factory number ‘01’.”

“Then how about the name ‘Alpha’? You are the first cute robot we found and the code number is also one.” Emma said.

Alpha nodded and I was happy if Emma was enjoying herself with her own pet.

Alpha should take care of Emma’s hobby needs as being in an isolated land will begin to lose its novelty after some days on her.

While we were just enjoying each other’s company and playing with Alpha, our watches activated again, playing a video of the Island’s master, the pink robot that had no defining characteristics beyond its colors, completely different from Alpha that was unique.

“As half of the teams reached an acceptable level of bonding, the first Trial will be in one week and another function was added to your tablet or watch. Please prepare yourselves, mentally and physically.”

What function is it? Let me check.
