Chapter 20 Su Ling’s Experience
My name is Zhou Su Ling, I am the second daughter of the Zhou family at C. Academy, and also the younger sister of Sister Su Ling.
When I was little, although I was a bit lively, I was very shy. I didn’t want to talk to strangers, and I didn’t like going out alone.
Every time I would pester my sister to take me out to play, catch butterflies, and explore the school!
However…
Although my sister was very gentle and always took me out.
My sister was a few years older than me, and soon she would be going to school, so she wouldn’t be able to play with me anymore.
At that time,
I was very disappointed, thinking that I was abandoned by my sister. I even threw a tantrum at home.
Because I heard that my sister might make friends at school, or even join various organizations, and would have even less time to play with me.
I was alone, so I was very unwilling, and I really wanted to go back to the past.
However…
…
“Ah, Su Ling, don’t bother your sister. Sister has a lot of things to do?”
“Wow, sister is saying that again! Doesn’t sister like Su Ling anymore? If you don’t like me, just say it directly.”
I know I might be a little annoying, but kids are all like this, right?
However…
“How could I not like Su Ling?”
“But, sister doesn’t accompany Su Ling anymore.”
“Hmm… That’s because sister knows that studying requires time and effort, and classmate relationships require time to understand. But no matter what happens, we are sisters, aren’t we?”
“Huh?”
“Of course, Sister doesn’t mean that she doesn’t care about Su Ling. She means that no matter what happens, we are still sisters, right? No matter how the world changes, our relationship can never be shaken by anything?”
…
…
Since then, Su Ling understood, right?
Although friends are also important, the meaning of family is the most important.
Even if we are separated by vast distances and cannot contact each other, we will always be sisters. This relationship is eternal. Zw-211 and Zw-212, since you have become siblings, haven’t you gained the strongest bond?
…
…
Although the social structure of robots is different from that of humans.
However, emotions can be mutually understood to some extent. The robots in the audience were silent, as if contemplating the meaning of “family.”
And Zw-211 and Zw-212, who were being judged?
They knelt on the ground, their CPUs seemingly in a frozen state.
“I…”
“Brother, let’s stop here.”
“But, if this is really the case…”
“We don’t have to get married. We can just be together like this. The Robot Kingdom has no laws forcing us to do that.”
“I… I understand. Lord Corey, we are willing to plead guilty and no longer wish to be combined.”
The matter was thus resolved.
Su Ling also let out a long sigh and collapsed onto her seat.
“Phew… That was close, but luckily, Su Ling did it.”
“Su Ling, well done!”
Lonis also smiled happily and praised Su Ling.
“Huh? Well done…”
“Yes, what Su Ling said just now made a lot of sense. In fact, no matter what kind of emotion it is, it will eventually transform into companionship, so the so-called title is not important, what’s important is being together~”
“Mm-hmm, is that about it? Su Ling doesn’t understand very well, she just repeated her own experience~~~”
Su Ling smiled foolishly, but it was evident that she was very happy to receive Lonis’s praise.
However, at the same time,
Elus secretly smiled and said with feigned “anger”: “Oh? The title is not important, so does little fox mean that you won’t be my maid anymore, and you won’t recognize me as your master anymore?”
“Huh?”
“It seems that I haven’t taught you enough. Then, I’ll activate the remote control~~”
“Noooooo!!!!!”
…
If there were any coy exclamations in the courtroom, Lonis would have lost all face.
Fortunately, Elus was just scaring her and didn’t really intend to tease her. Soon after, it was time for the last court trial of the day.
However, Lonis did not expect…
The criminal brought forward was a robot familiar to the girls.
Tvp-050!
“Lord Corey, I am innocent! I am not guilty!!!”
As soon as tvp was pushed into the courtroom, he began to beg for mercy.
And Corey? She knocked her gavel and said, “TVP, whether you are innocent or not, won’t humans be able to judge? The human highnesses just passed judgment on such a complex case. Will they misjudge your situation?”
“Th-that seems to be the case, doesn’t it?”
“Well, let me introduce the case. Your Highnesses, you may not know, but taxes are the cornerstone of the Robot Kingdom’s operation. If taxes are missing, we will all lose our homes… TVP, as the owner of the supply station, should have paid taxes to the Robot Kingdom regularly. However, it not only has a huge deficit, but even the cables are broken.”
“Sorry, but I didn’t do it on purpose. I really can’t pay.”
“Yes, I know you don’t have money, and I know there’s something wrong with your body. I also know that you missed the deadline because you were working as a tour guide for humans… Otherwise, you wouldn’t be here, but would have been directly sentenced and sent to the dark tunnel!”
Corey seemed to be “saluting” the humans as her body twitched inadvertently: “So the content of this judgment is whether to exempt your taxes, and whether to pursue your guilt!”
“Ah?”
“Your Highnesses, how do you judge?”
…
…
Lonis was stunned. She felt that this trial was much simpler compared to the previous two.
However, Elus shook her head and said, “No, this judgment is the most complex. Corey is learning from us about the boundary between emotion and reason.”
“The boundary between emotion and reason?”
“Yes, this is also a hurdle that robots cannot avoid. They are rational beings themselves, but they have developed an emotion similar to feelings by following in humanity’s footsteps. Therefore, robots are always confused, and have always been unsure how to deal with the coexistence of emotions and rationality.”
“!”
“For us, TVP can be considered to have worked hard. So, Corey wants to see how we will punish him.”
“Then, in this case, should we handle it according to public affairs and embody the absolute nature of the law?”
“No, that wouldn’t be good either. After all, in the previous epoch, an ancient person named Luo Xiang once said that legal interests are the basis for conviction, and ethics are the basis for exemption from conviction. Law is not unfun. And robots having emotions is also a good thing.”
“Then what should we do…”
“Well, let me think… Right, why don’t little fox decide this time?”
“Huh?”
“Since it’s one each, it’s time for the idiot Lonis to decide~~”
