Chapter 21: The Hero’s Decision
“Let me decide?”
“Right, the last two decisions were made by Elusia and Sul Ling, respectively.”
“So it’s my turn to say something this time. General Tas is here in the audience, and it seems there are some others from the Snow Kingdom too.”
“I have to prove to them that I’m still a hero, even if I’ve become a girl, my ambition hasn’t faded!”
“It’s just…”
“What should I do?”
Lonis blinked, and then she noticed the crux of the matter.
Tvp hadn’t committed any heinous crime. It was just that it had no money to pay rent. Moreover, Corey had previously explicitly stated that tvp could repay its debt by working, by going to the dark tunnel.
“So…”
“Let’s postpone the rent payment for now.”
So, Lonis said, “Lord Corey, I think tvp needs to pay taxes, but it’s a fact that it can’t pay right now, so let’s postpone it for a while.”
“Mm, Princess Lonis, are you sure?”
Corey’s tone suddenly became sharp, making one involuntarily doubt if she had made the right decision.
However, Lonis still nodded and said, “Yes, of course, I’m sure. Because in our human world, not being able to pay is a helpless situation. And giving debtors a certain period of time also reflects a certain humanitarian concern.”
“I understand, but… what if tvp still hasn’t paid the arrears by then?”
“That’s easy to say, I’ll be its guarantor. If it doesn’t repay, I’m willing to pay the price.”
“!”
Lonis’s words stunned the robots.
Because no one expected Lonis to make such a decision to guarantee it… because she was originally unrelated to this matter and could have stayed out of it.
But now, she had taken the initiative to get involved.
Realizing that she had received help, tvp even said, “Lonis Nara, even if I can’t repay it, you don’t have to bear it with me! Because it’s very likely that even with an extension, I won’t be able to repay this money.”
“It’s okay, I already have some ideas. Hmph, hmph, so, what do you think, Lord Corey?”
“As for me, of course, there’s no problem. Then, let’s set the deadline for two weeks.”
“Okay.”
“Then I pronounce this court trial successfully concluded. Robots, let us thank the judgment from humanity.”
“Crunch, crunch!”
“Gurgle, gurgle~”
Amidst a burst of electronic sounds, the trial officially ended.
After walking down from the witness stand, Lonis breathed a sigh of relief, feeling immensely satisfied.
Not for any other reason than that as a hero, she should help those who need help!
Moreover, Lonis believed that tvp was indeed a very diligent robot, and its inability to pay rent now was purely due to bad luck.
Sul Ling also stepped forward, excitedly praising, “Lonis-chan is so cool, so amazing!”
“Heh, it was just a sudden idea… What do you think, Elusia?”
“I have no objection. Since Little Fox is the guarantor, and I’m not the guarantor, if the money isn’t repaid, we can just sell Little Fox!”
Elusia tilted her head up. Although she said it was none of her business, Lonis still knew that this black-hearted girl also agreed with her idea.
Because if she didn’t agree, she would have come up and pulled her fox ears long ago.
“So…”
“Hmm, then when we leave later, we’ll go talk to tvp.”
“Eh, what do you want to do to make money, Little Lon? Do you have some big plan?”
“Hmph, actually… Sul Ling, we met a friend named General Tas yesterday, but they don’t know the meaning of life and live day by day.”
“!”
“And didn’t Elusia say that we came to the moon to enjoy life? Then, making money on the moon is also enjoying life, right? After all, we’ve been relying on the C. Academy’s funding all along, and it’s time to enjoy the joy of labor.”
“So, so amazing! I didn’t expect Little Lon to be so far-sighted.”
“Hah, that’s right~ After all, I have the clever girl Elusia by my side? After following her for so long, I must have learned some wisdom.”
“Hmph, how cheesy? Even if you’re flattering me, I won’t be happy.”
Elusia put on a stern face, but her right hand grabbed Lonis’s big tail and happily stroked it.
“Well, then, clever Elusia, do you have any good ideas for making money? I think it might be a good idea to revitalize General Tas’s 3D printing store and sell some small gifts from Human Civilization.”
“Oh~~ You idiot fox have already thought of a good way, so why are you asking me to decide?”
“Because we are a whole, so of course I have to listen to Elusia’s plan!”
“Hmph, hmph, then… let’s hold a maid cafe on the moon.”
“Haa, a maid cafe on the moon?!”
Although Lonis was already very bold,
She didn’t expect Elusia’s idea to be so shocking.
“Although it’s just temporary, promoting some human dining habits to the moon, it sounds very interesting~~~~”
“Wuwu…”
Although Elusia said it was very interesting, Lonis felt that this big black-hearted girl surely had some plan to toy with her.
“What’s wrong, Little Fox, are you unwilling? Sul Ling is already jumping with excitement~”
“Ah, I’m fine with it!”
“Th-then let’s open a maid cafe? But… I remember robots don’t drink coffee! So how can they taste it?”
“Just replace the coffee with oil.”
“This replacement is too outrageous!”

As the girls walked out of the council hall, they ran into tvp and pm.
These two robots seemed to be arguing about something just now, and when they saw Lonis, tvp couldn’t help but run over:
“Lonis Nara, you really don’t have to do so much for me! Moreover, the reason I wanted to be a tour guide was because…”
“It was also because I couldn’t pay the rent, right? Heh, it’s okay, because if it were me, I would do the same. This is not the key issue, the key is that next, we need to strive for enough money~~”
Lonis said happily, and pm, who was tall and slender, said with surprise, “I didn’t expect… humans are not only so powerful, but they also have a quality that we robots have never understood – kindness.”
“Heh, pm, you flatter me. Because I’m not just giving, I also find it very interesting. Robot life is very novel.”
“Tvp, aren’t you going to thank the humans?”
“Ah, thank you Silver-haired Nara Lonis, thank you Black-hearted Queen Elusia, thank you Righteous Young Lady Sul Ling. tvp will never forget your great kindness and will always be grateful, even to the point of spilling oil on the ground and vowing to be grateful.”
“Hmm, it’s not to that extent… Let’s all work hard together…”
Lonis sighed, and suddenly realized that the robots’ language was also very interesting…
