Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

Just as Pantalone was pondering this puzzle, the "puppet's" next answer made him understand.

Where did that sense of déjà vu and familiarity he felt come from?

Sandonne, having put down her teacup, introduced the girl behind her, who possessed a posture virtually indistinguishable from a human, and said this.

"Please allow me to introduce the finished product of my research on 'mechanical prosthetics': the first prototype of the 'prosthetic android' that has a body that is almost identical to that of a human."

"Of course, instead of this cold and impersonal title, you can also call her—"

"Catherine".

Catherine?

Upon hearing this name, I was initially puzzled as to why I had never seen this girl before.

But Pantalone, who always felt a strange sense of déjà vu, finally realized why he could feel that strange sense of déjà vu even though he had never seen this girl before.

Good guy.

In a sense, for any blond-haired mute, the man in front of him could be considered an old acquaintance without a doubt.

After all, in his memory, Catherine had never been able to finish a single sentence.

Although he is now Pantalone, not some blond traveler with that noisy, annoying, white emergency food floater by his side.

However, this did not prevent him from feeling that Catherine looked familiar. It was precisely because of this that he was stunned for a moment when he heard Sandoni introduce the name of the 'cyborg doll' in front of him.

However, upon closer examination, it makes perfect sense, since it was discovered long ago that Catherine appears to be the Winter Bionic Doll.

Since it is a bionic doll, it must have been created by humans.

And there is no doubt that there is only one person in the entire winter who possesses this ability and is capable of doing this.

That is Sandone, the "puppet" who serves as the executor of the Fools.

The reason he hadn't discovered this was probably because he hadn't thought about it in that way, until Catherine actually appeared in front of him.

Yet everything suddenly seemed to make sense.

Just as he was pondering these things, Sandonne's introduction of Catherine pulled him back to reality.

"As you can see, the only finished product of the current 'mechanical prosthetics' is this one. If you don't mind using a woman's body, then it's not impossible to use a usable prosthetic body right away."

Sandone's words immediately made Pantalone, who had originally asked the question, understand why Sandone had said that if he wanted to use a satisfactory prosthetic body, he would probably have to wait for a while longer.

That is, Sandone did not produce any special prosthetic bodies for Pantalone. All the prototypes currently produced are other models and individuals of Catherine, just like Catherine.

And the meaning behind what Sandonne said to him was very simple.

If you don't mind wearing women's clothing, then these models of 'cyborg dolls' are not out of the question for you to use, that's roughly the idea.

For Sandone herself, this was not something to be ashamed of or concerned about, after all, Catherine was designed based on herself.

That's why she asked him if he didn't mind using a female 'cyborg doll', and she could arrange it for him right now.

After realizing this, Pantalone coughed twice to indicate that...

"I don't think this is a big rush. To be honest, I'm not in a great hurry to use 'mechanical prosthetics'. In fact, I can wait until the 'mechanical prosthetics' specifically designed for this purpose are completed before making a decision."

Pantalone paused mid-sentence, then, as if remembering something, looked at Sandone and asked.

"To be honest, I have a new idea. I'd like to ask you if you have any special treatment for these 'bionic dolls' you've made? If not, I do have something I need that I can borrow."

"They are just some 'bionic dolls' that can be made easily. If you want to use these 'bionic dolls,' you can use them as you please, in every sense of the word."

When Sandone asked Pantalone's question, he simply gave a curt reply.

Pantalone didn't have any particular thoughts about wanting to use his 'android doll'.

This made Pantalone sigh that dealing with the "puppet" was really easy, much more comfortable than when he was communicating with that mayor before, when he was pretending to be ignorant while knowing the truth.

But for some reason, when Sandone said that he could 'use' Catherine at will and do whatever he wanted with her, something felt off.

He's being talked about as if he were someone with special needs who buys lifelike dolls.

Considering that Sandoni might ask him what he planned to do with these 'androids', he wondered if he should defend himself.

But to be honest, he felt that it would be better if he didn't emphasize it, because once he did, it might really cause some serious misunderstanding.

Just as he was lost in thought, Sandonne did indeed ask him, just as he had expected, what his request was for the use of these 'bionic dolls'.

"But then again, what do you plan to do with these 'bionic dolls'? Although these 'bionic dolls' do possess performances that are extremely close to those of humans, and have the basic ability to communicate with normal humans."

“But these ‘bionic dolls’ don’t have any fighting ability, so I’m curious what you’re planning to do with these dolls.”

After speaking for a moment, Sandonne added a sentence.

"Of course, I was just asking casually. If this is part of your plan, then I can pretend I never said it. You can handle this matter according to your own preferences."

"...No, it's not something that can't be said."

Pantalone, whose thoughts had been scattered by Sandone's words, glanced at the girl in front of him, and after some deliberation and thought, organized his words and spoke.

"To be honest, you should have attended the previous executive meetings, right? Then you should know that in my plan there is a 'virtual currency plan' that has already been announced, as well as the policies I recently passed."
