Just a magical girl who picks up trash

"She could very well be a danger, not just to you, me, and Liuli, but even to the entire Mechanical Planet..."

This is not alarmist. After all, the characteristics of silver are so terrifying that even if there is only a slight possibility, it will definitely take advantage of the opportunity and devour everything without leaving any survivors.

And what Qiqi said was not without reason. If this mechanical girl was allowed to exist like this, even without activating the other party, it was very likely that Baiyin would take the opportunity to attack. There was no need for a surprise attack or anything, just need to hide and silently assimilate and absorb energy, then sooner or later it would grow into a threat to the entire planet.

In fact, because of this, the mechanical girl, who seemed to be normal from the moment she came back until now, was actually secretly surrounded by various detection equipment and interception equipment set up by the main brain, which could destroy the opponent at any time.

Qiqi naturally maintained a supportive attitude towards all of this, and although Red Ponytail wanted to oppose it, she thought that this was also a kind of safety measure. Since the main brain chose to believe that she did not directly destroy the other party, she obviously had nothing to say.

At this time, facing Qiqi's repeated inquiries, Red Ponytail finally spoke in defense after a long silence:

"Ah~ No... See, didn't I just explain that? Starlight Burst targets all creatures with the 'Silver' attribute. So, since she wasn't destroyed, it means there's no silver left in her body. So..."

"So...what's going on with this situation now?"

Pointing at the mechanical girl lying on the bed, honestly, looking at her completely faded silver-white appearance, even Red Ponytail found it a little hard to believe that she hadn't been corroded by the silver, but...

"But hasn't the main brain already checked it? There really isn't any silver reaction on her body!"

"Maybe it's hidden. After all, the analysis of silver until now is..."

"..."

After such a conversation, the two of them started arguing again. However, Liuli sat calmly on the side from beginning to end, and did not participate in the behavior of the two people like a background board. Judging from her accustomed eyes, it was obvious that the two of them had had such discussions more than once along the way.

Of course, the result was just as she saw... no result!

For the sake of the safety of the mechanical planet and everyone else, Qiqi advocated the elimination or complete isolation of the silver mechanical girl. However, although Red Ponytail did not say that she must be given freedom, she proposed to "let her move freely under the supervision of herself and others." The reason for this was naturally because there was no trace of silver in the chicken blood girl's body.

This was not only the judgment from the main brain, but also the judgment from the mysterious voice in the mind, so Red Ponytail undoubtedly trusted it.

It's just a pity that something as mysterious as trust is obviously not very applicable to mechanical life forms, so this has become the root cause of the endless dispute between the two.

While the two were arguing about this, Liuli suddenly turned her head and looked at the bedside as if she had discovered something. Then, under her gaze, she saw the silver-white girl opened her eyes at some point, revealing a pair of... holy silver eyes!

"woke up!"

"So, huh?"

"..."

The sudden voice interrupted the quarrel between the two people. They all looked at Liuli, and at Liuli's signal, they looked in the direction of the silver girl on the other side. They immediately saw that the girl had stood up quietly at some point, and with a slight turn of her head, her silver eyes stared quietly at the two people in front of her.

177. Order Acceptance

(The previous chapter was typed wrong, but the content is correct, don't worry)

The scene seemed to fall into silence at this moment. As the four mechanical girls and eight pairs of eyes exchanged glances, the atmosphere was clearly somewhat oppressive. Perhaps it was because of this oppressive atmosphere that the silver girl, who was considered the target of elimination, spoke first:

"Assess the situation. Basic answer: Thank you for saving my life! Otherwise: You have violated Article 4 of Chapter 32 of the Mechanical Planet Law: To protect the planet's safety, any machinery corroded by silver must be immediately destroyed. This is a warning!"

The mechanical girl, who was obviously well aware that she was a creature corroded by silver, said this the first thing she said when she woke up. However, when she finished speaking, Qiqi, who was supposed to agree with her, suddenly fell silent for some reason.

"..."

Ignoring the other party's so-called "warning," the red-tailed girl looked at Qiqi with a puzzled look, only to see Qiqi decisively look away... She had originally threatened to destroy the other party but never brought it up again, so this was...

"He's a bully in his own house?"

"Hard on the outside, but soft on the inside?"

"Enough!"

The two voices, as if judging something, immediately caused Qiqi to roar. Then, he ignored the two and strode to the front of the silver girl. As his eyes shone with data, his tone gradually became serious as he spoke:

"Inspection... Space Station Unit No. 3741, reporting current situation and physical condition!"

The words, which were almost like an order, were met with a nod of understanding from the girl.

"Understood, reporting: Due to the mistaken acceptance of a Silver clone disguised as a machine in the space station, the core was infected and devoured. Although the self-destruct sequence was immediately activated, it was canceled by Silver..."

This is also the terrifying aspect of Silver. It can simulate everything it has assimilated, which naturally includes mechanical life forms. Therefore, its ability to invade mechanical life forms is actually no less than that of the Mechanical Planet!

In fact, it is precisely because of the computing power derived from this assimilation that if the mechanical planet itself did not have the existence of "it", it would have been swallowed and assimilated by silver long ago!

"…Report concluded. Checking my body's condition: Power system confirmed to be normal, emotional circuitry operating normally, self-test activated… No signs of corrosion, silver residue below 1%, close to zero!"

After saying this, the silver girl immediately raised her head and looked at Qiqi in front of her, and continued in a calm tone as if it was a matter of course:

"This machine has been determined to be contaminated by silver and lacks the authority to connect to the mainframe. This report is complete and I am requesting self-destruction!"

Once the infected Silver body is connected to the main brain, there is no guarantee that Silver will take advantage of the opportunity to invade the main brain, etc. Therefore, she is naturally very clear that she no longer has such authority. In the girl's understanding, it is obvious that the reason why she has been kept until now is to obtain information about Silver from her mouth. Now that the information has been reported, it is naturally time for her to retire!

"Self-destruction..."

This was naturally not a question to Qiqi, but an application to the main brain. After all, mechanical life forms were not allowed to commit suicide because they had a "heart". However, Qiqi, who should have advocated for this and should have directly issued orders at this time, hesitated at this time and did not respond to this inquiry.

"..."

The scene fell silent for a moment. After a long while, Qiqi suddenly said, as the red-tailed girl behind him seemed to have a nervous expression:

"Judgment... The erosion of your machine has subsided, and the abnormality cannot be analyzed. Therefore, the final decision is: temporarily observe the cause of the body's abnormality, which may reveal a method to target Baiyin!"

Such a judgment came from the main brain, but for some reason Qiqi seemed to be secretly relieved... It was obvious that although she had said before that she would destroy the other party, but when it really came to this moment... she was just being stubborn!

"...Ahem~ Don't get me wrong, this is the Mastermind's judgment, not my personal opinion. In fact, my personal opinion hasn't changed, and I still maintain my attitude towards destruction!"

When she turned around and saw the piercing gazes of the two people behind her, Qiqi immediately said this in a slightly awkward tone.

"Yeah, I understand, I understand, we all understand!"

To this, Red Ponytail smiled happily, and Liuli...

"Proud?"

"Who's being arrogant?"

What nonsense is really...

After a little laughter, although the possibility of the mechanical girl's invasion was temporarily ruled out, the issue of her placement obviously became the current focus. The mechanical girl seemed to still have some doubts about her own non-destruction, but she naturally had no reason to refute the order, so...

"Order accepted!"

The idea of ​​finding a way to deal with Baiyin by examining one's own specificity was theoretically sound. Therefore, with the clear understanding that one was being used as an experimental subject, Qiqi immediately spoke:

"Confirming the Mastermind's order: Since we haven't yet fully analyzed whether you've truly been corrupted, we're temporarily severing your connection to the Mastermind. Also, because your machine could go berserk at any moment, the final decision is... From now on... you will join the 'Experimental Subject Team' as the fourth member. Your primary order is to serve as 'guard' for the experimental unit: Red Ponytail!"

"Huh? What? Me?"

Before the mechanical girl could react to the sudden words, the red-tailed girl pointed at herself in surprise, but in return, Qiqi immediately rolled her eyes:

"Who else could it be if not you? After all, it was you who got him out, and it was you who saved him. More importantly, if Baiyin is really hiding in there, there's no one else but you who can deal with it immediately!"

Red Ponytail couldn't refute such words, but...

"You don't have to serve me, can't you just be my companion? Obviously..."

"Command accepted, confirming Red Ponytail's information...confirmed!"

Before Red Ponytail could finish her words, the mechanical girl had already gotten up and walked over to her. After muttering to herself, she walked over to Red Ponytail, bent down slightly, and folded her hands in front of her:

"I'm the core of a space station-type machine, codename: TY-3741. Nice to meet you, hello... Master!"

178. Let’s choose a name!

(I will apply for correction immediately. Don’t worry, it will not affect the readers!)

(Also, Feather is ready to enter the final stage. It won’t be a shoddy ending, nor will it end badly, don’t worry!)

"I'm the core of a space station-type machine, codename: TY-3741. Nice to meet you, hello... Master!"

"Wait... what the hell is a master? You're a guard, not a slave, why are you calling me that?!"

The girl with red ponytail was so frightened that she jumped back a big step. She said this in a slightly exaggerated voice, but in return, the robot girl raised her head and replied as a matter of course:

"Judgment... The Mastermind has gifted you ownership of this machine. According to the settings, you now own everything in it. Furthermore, this machine has a duty of protection and service to you, and it owes you a life-saving debt of gratitude. Taking all these factors into consideration... you are undoubtedly my master!"

Such words made so much sense that Red Ponytail was unable to refute them. Even Qiqi beside her laughed maliciously at this time:

"Isn't that great? Such an obedient follower can even satisfy your fantasies, Xiaobai, and do all sorts of things!"

She said this with a smile, but what she got in return was the red-haired girl turning her head away and saying without a second thought:

"I don't have such dirty thoughts as you, you filthy and arrogant uncle!"

"Varied……"

The sudden address startled Qiqi, and she felt as if she had been struck by a blow. At the same time, she ignored the other party's antics and turned her gaze towards the mechanical girl in front of her. She scratched her head in distress and said:

"That seems to be true, but... can we change the name? I always feel that the word 'master' is weird!"

Obviously, we are all mechanical life forms, but calling ourselves masters is obviously a bit awkward.

"Judgement... Red Ponytail-sama?"

Apart from the master, this seems to be the only thing I can think of, but...

"Don't you think it's too long? And it's a bit awkward to pronounce...why not just call him Master Xiaobai?"

Qiqi on the side tried to interrupt again, but was ignored by both the red ponytail and the mechanical girl. Seeing that the red ponytail still seemed dissatisfied, the mechanical girl immediately fell silent for a while and then proposed a new name:

"Judgement... Princess?"

"... Let's change it. This one is a bit embarrassing!"

Calling myself a princess or something...

"I've determined... you hesitated for half a second, and I've determined that there's a hint of reluctance in your words. I've determined that you're satisfied with this title. I'm confirming it..."

"Wait...wait, this is your misunderstanding!"

"I think my judgment is correct, Your Highness!"

"...How about at least getting rid of the princess, or even the highness?"

"Okay, princess!"

"Woo~~"

So this name that was decided upon inexplicably made the girl with red ponytail blush... so embarrassed!

As for the reason of shyness, it is because...

"Oh, I didn't expect that you, Xiaobai, actually have such an interest, Your Highness, Tsk tsk~~~"

"Xiaobai...Princess?"

Qiqi made a sound that was neither a smile nor a laugh, but Liuli on the side seemed to make a slight comparison between the two names, then stared at the red ponytail for a long time, and finally nodded slightly, as if to confirm it.

"Xiaobai...Princess!"

I'm not a princess, Liuli, don't call me that, and Qiqi, don't make trouble, and don't speak in that tone, it's so annoying!

The thought that came to her mind in an instant was actually caught by the mechanical girl, and she even gave her such a shameful name. Although she was a little happy in her heart, how could she possibly tell such a thing to others?

"But now... the matter is resolved. Next, I just need to have a good rest and have fun at the park tomorrow~~"

After a few laughs and jokes, the matter was initially resolved. Finally, after Qiqi's words, everyone nodded happily, and the small meeting was disbanded. However, before that...

"name……"

Liuli suddenly spoke, and the words she said made everyone present slightly stunned. Seeing this, Liuli immediately stretched out her finger and pointed at the mechanical girl on the side. Immediately, Qiqi and Red Ponytail showed a look of sudden realization at the same time.

"Oh, that's right. I still need a name for you...Xiaobai, it's up to you!"

"So why am I the first person you think of when it comes to this kind of thing?"

"Needless to say? Didn't you name Liuli and me? Anyway, you're just saying that this person isn't yours~~"

"What do you mean by 'my people'?... You're really saying it in such an ambiguous way..."

Although she complained like this, it was obvious that Red Ponytail had no reason to refuse this matter. Looking at the mechanical girl who seemed to be staring at her, although there was no fluctuation in her expression, she inexplicably made people feel that she was "longing" for her.

"Wow...what about the name...Silver? No, it feels a bit unlucky!"

Looking at the other party's silver-white appearance, the first name that came to mind was indeed this, but it was obviously not feasible. After all, silver is a taboo for the mechanical planet.

Of course, Red Ponytail also thought of the name "Xiaobai" out of mischievousness, but considering that this was her nickname (even she had admitted it), having the same name was naturally not advisable. Finally, after racking her brains, Red Ponytail looked at the girl's silver-white body and beautiful face, and her eyes finally fixed on the other's holy silver pupils, only to see... the next second she shook her head decisively.

"No, no, don't always name things after colors. Think of something else...something else..."

Her gaze once again lingered around the other person, sensing their faint presence and their completely expressionless demeanor, unlike Qiqi's quirky demeanor and Liuli's cold demeanor. Red Ponytail couldn't help but utter two words:

"Xue...Xuezhi?"
