Now, when I first encountered the system, it was already “heh heh heh”…

"Hello, Mr. Savior Lin Yi."

A soft, yet somewhat serious girl's voice sounded from beside Lin Yi at this time.

I turned around and didn't see anyone.

"Ahem, I'm here, Mr. Lin Yi."

Although he was still very serious, he could sense that the other person's voice was a little awkward.

I lowered my head and finally saw the other person.

A translucent girl who seems very unreal.

A girl with long chestnut hair in twin ponytails, who looks to be only about 1 meters tall.

With a serious expression, she stared at Lin Yi with her chestnut eyes wide open, like a school discipline committee member, and looked up at him. She stood straight and firmly, and appeared beside Lin Yi like this.

The light from the street lamp penetrated the girl's body and fell directly on the ground without leaving any shadow. She seemed not to exist in this world, but only able to be seen by Lin Yi and communicate with him.

"Ghost? No, you are my personal system assistant?"

After a brief thought, Lin Yi quickly understood the true identity of this translucent girl.

"Yes, I am Mr. Savior Lin Yi, your personal system assistant. I am the intelligent AI assistant who will be responsible for helping you with various matters between your main tasks."

Bending slightly, the girl answered seriously at this moment.

"My number is 17K912, and my personality is [Iino Miko]. You can just call me Iino."

"From today on, I will be your exclusive assistant. I hope we can get along well."

Intermission 1-02: AI Iino Miko

A girl who is only 1.47 meters tall and looks as young as a junior high school student.

The illusory, translucent, petite body stood in front of him, with a serious expression on her face, staring at him without blinking.

Is this my personal system assistant?

Is this the system assistant that will always follow me from now on?

This……

Is this really adulthood?

Such a petite body, yet still has such a childish feeling.

Come to think of it, the saviors I have met so far, Tanjiro Kamado and Suzuran, are both minors, right? And now this system assistant, although it seems to be an intelligent AI so age is meaningless, but this appearance, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a child, right?

Is this savior system really okay? !

Where are the police? Where are the police?

Come and take this system away to face justice!

"Mr. Lin Yi?"

Because she hadn't received a reply from Lin Yi, the short AI girl blinked, took a step closer with some confusion, and tried to call the other person's name again.

"...Um, ahem, I'm Lin Yi. Well, how should I put it? I didn't expect that my system assistant would be a girl."

With a slightly awkward smile, Lin Yi patted his forehead and said.

"Well, the assistant assigned to each savior by the system will have a complete personalized AI, and the appropriate appearance and corresponding personality will be determined according to the intelligent analysis system. According to the system's judgment, I am the most suitable personal assistant for you. From now on, I will stay by your side and fulfill my responsibilities."

The little girl immediately raised her head and spoke to Lin Yi very seriously.

"Well, it's the best for me... I always feel that this sentence sounds a bit strange and subtle, so I won't bother with it..."

Lin Yi shook his head and sighed, temporarily suspending his attention to this issue.

What he didn't notice was that the girl named Iino Miko, who had realized that she had gotten away with this question, also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

I really didn't expect that the savior I served would ask questions like this from the beginning, which was really a headache. As one of the countless personal system assistants, the AI ​​girl with the personality template of [Iino Miko] hoped to witness the savior she served become a real hero step by step, and use her abilities to help the other party, instead of...

Forget it, let’s drop the topic, this is not the point right now!

"The AI ​​assigned by the system to the saviors has personality templates from different universes. They have a sense of justice and the ability to act, but due to their talent limits and other reasons, they cannot become saviors. The savior system will extract and copy the personality traits of these people, and use them as system assistants after fine-tuning."

"As your system assistant, I can connect to all public and non-public networks of the planetary civilization we are in, and control every satellite that is still in operation in real time, so as to provide you with all the intelligence you need. Without the help of external equipment, I can accurately scan the atomic-level movement changes within a hundred meters, and roughly scan the approximate energy flow changes within 30 kilometers."

"However, I need to remind you, Mr. Lin Yi, that the system assistant is an intelligent assistant that exists to improve the personal living standards of the rescuers outside of the mission period and to provide them with the necessary services they need. If your request is not necessary and involves harming the interests of others, I have the right to reject your request."

The little girl spoke in a clear voice, as serious as a little adult.

How should I put it? It's pretty cute.

It made Lin Yi want to touch her head, give her a thumbs up and say something like "You are so awesome".

But then again...

"Such a powerful ability, why can it only be used during non-mission periods? Shouldn't it provide better help during missions?"

Lin Yi raised his hand and asked a question.

"This is because during the mission, the computing power of the personal system assistant will be fully allocated to the basic support functions of the savior. Take the mission that you carried out before, Mr. Lin Yi, for example. At that time, I was actually following you, Mr. Lin Yi. However, during the mission, my personality will enter a dormant state, and all computing power will be fully utilized to maintain your teammate identification function and the protection and escape function in emergency situations. As the difficulty of the savior mission increases and the savior level increases, as a personal assistant, I will also receive higher computing power allocation from the savior system itself, but the functions I need to maintain in that kind of mission will also be more complex, so I cannot maintain my personality and provide these analysis and intelligence services."

Iino Miko continued to answer seriously and patiently explained the situation to Lin Yi further.

"I see. But it shouldn't be necessary to maintain this basic function at full capacity, right? I always feel that this ability can be put to greater use. If you had provided the detection function during the first mission, I could have directly found the spatial anomaly node after confirming the intelligence that day."

Since they were talking about a serious topic, Lin Yi also became serious and asked the girl in front of him very seriously.

"I understand your idea, Mr. Lin Yi. However, in low-level missions, this kind of detection service is not particularly necessary, because you, as rescuers, can successfully complete the mission without this service. In mid- and high-level missions, the rescuers' own detection and intelligence acquisition capabilities basically exceed those of the system assistants, so this kind of service is even more unnecessary. And..."

Iino Miko calmly answered Lin Yi's questions, and her expression was extremely serious at this moment.

"In any case, during the Savior mission, the computing power of the system assistant must work together with the Savior system itself to fully maintain the Savior's protection and escape function, ensuring that no matter what changes occur in the mission, the Savior can be successfully released from the mission universe."

"It's hard to explain the reason. I can only say that both the Savior System and the Saviors have paid enough for this matter. We are not without enemies in this endless universe. For your safety, even if we have to reduce the help we provide during the mission, this function must be treated with the highest standards."

This is a bit scary...

What does it mean to have paid a sufficient price? Why does it sound as if continuing this job will likely lead to a rather miserable situation?

Is it true that saving the world is not as good as it sounds?

"Okay, I think my problem is solved. Anyway, please find a place for me to sleep and rest. I'm still a little tired."

Lin Yi sighed silently in his heart, and finally decided not to continue this topic, but talked about the more realistic problems at the moment.

"Please leave it to me. Go across the street. There is a two-story detached building over there. I have already calculated and searched to confirm that it is a house for sale, and I have contacted the seller to pay the full amount. Don't worry about the source of funds. During the communication with you, I hacked into the vaults of several drug lords and took out all the deposits. I used one tenth of them as your house purchase and living funds, and the rest has been donated to reputable charity aid organizations. Well, don't worry about those drug lords. I hacked into their housing electronic systems and car electronic systems. Now they have either died of gas explosions or car accidents. I have not spared any of them. There is no need to worry."

Walking beside Lin Yi and giving him directions, Iino Miko continued to answer seriously.

Isn't this something to worry about? Aren't you a system personal assistant full of justice? How come this person is so skilled in killing and robbing? Wait, this girl seemed to have said that the personal assistants configured by the system are the most suitable for their masters. In other words, because I am this kind of person, she has this kind of personality?

This is slander. How could a pure and innocent person like me do such a cruel thing?

If I were to do it, I would at least throw those drug lords into the meat grinder, and start with the feet.

All in all, daily life between missions is about to begin, right?

Lin Yi sighed quietly and didn't notice that Iino Miko behind him was silently cheering him up. She wanted to jump up with excitement, but in order not to be discovered by Lin Yi in front of her, she just turned around in a reserved manner.

Very good, as a personal assistant, as an assistant to the savior hero, I can finally start my official work.

And the other party didn't find out about the key problem, so they could get along well as normal savior heroes and assistants, which was the best. She was not someone introduced by the savior system matchmaking agency, and such a hateful rumor should be spread as far away as possible!

However, this is not actually a rumor.

During the long process of development and optimization, the Savior System noticed early on that some Saviors with very bad interpersonal relationships in daily life would often find their daily lives worse after they came into contact with the Savior System and started the battle to save civilization.

These saviors who have few friends, no hobbies to talk about, and who are taciturn and only hide away to entertain themselves, begin to care less and less about their daily lives because of the savior missions, and even ignore them completely, only regarding the things in the savior missions as real life.

This attitude towards life is obviously wrong in the long run, and many rescuers have mental problems. In this case, after a long period of calculation and research, the rescuer system finally came up with a solution, which is the so-called [Personal System Assistant].

Yes, for the kind of savior who can't make friends and whose personal life, emotional relationships and interpersonal relationships are a mess, the system will use an AI of the opposite sex and the same race when arranging a personal assistant for him, and will adopt a personality template that is close to the other person's preferences. Such an emotional personal assistant can tolerate the savior's various problems and take care of him because he understands the savior he serves, and it is easy to develop an intimate relationship. And in the case of a real intimate relationship, the system can also provide AI with body shaping services.

Because of this incident, this function of the Savior System was once criticized as something like the [Savior Matchmaking Agency System], [Otaku Brave Savior], and [Waste Person Development System], so that many normal Saviors and AI assistants of the opposite sex who did not develop intimate relationships had their reputations damaged.

(PS: Lily's personal assistant is a golden fox that can be held in the arms, and Tanjiro's personal assistant is a palm-sized fire element)

As for Iino Miko, who hopes to be a hero's assistant, she naturally doesn't want this to happen to her. An AI assistant that was born to help heroes ends up wearing a wedding ring and seducing heroes. What kind of thing is this? A hero should act like a hero, and so should she, a personal assistant! Romance is not important in front of the great cause of the savior!

So, luckily she managed to fool this guy. It seemed that the hero she served was not a very smart one.

So the following interactions will definitely go on normally, right?

Thinking of this, Xiao Mizi clenched her fists, encouraged herself, and then continued walking forward on the street with Lin Yi.

Interlude 1-03: Home Sweet Home

"It's... right here..."

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows again.

"Yeah, sorry!"

The girl with long chestnut hair lowered her head with a distressed expression at this moment, and was hesitant and didn't know what expression to show.

At this moment, the night has reached a very deep stage. The streets are very quiet, no one can be seen, and there are basically no lights in the surrounding houses. The whole town has fallen into a deep sleep.

At this time, Iino Miko, who was a little excited about her first job as a personal system assistant, led Lin Yi all the way to the two-story detached house they bought.

"Speaking of which, generally speaking, the procedures for purchasing real estate are quite complicated, right?"

Lin Yi suddenly asked, seeming to be thinking about something.

"Yes... So when I found a house nearby that was very affordable and had very simple procedures, and you could move in right away, I bought it on the spot... Although I did consider whether there might be some problems with such a simple procedure, the seller on the online trading platform kept telling me that there was no problem and I didn't need to worry, so I was fooled..."

The girl who was in high spirits just now had a very different expression from the depressed one at this moment.

Was it because he was eager to show off his abilities and ended up being deceived by a veteran in the business world? How should I put it? Is it true that this kind of problem will occur when the degree of personification of intelligent AI is too high? When personification reaches this level, it can no longer be called AI, but a living human being without a physical body, right?

If you just want to provide him with an assistant, there is actually no need to use such a highly personalized AI. This kind of AI assistant that makes mistakes, has its own little emotions, and looks like a petite and cute girl, is it really just an assistant?

Could it be that the Savior System is sending him a wife? !

Such thoughts popped up in Lin Yi's mind.

It feels like it's possible, especially considering that when I asked this girl some questions before, her attitude seemed like she wanted to hide something. But then again, wouldn't every savior's personal assistant be like this? I'm an adult, but Tanjiro and Suzuran are just children. Could it be that the savior system will help them develop childhood sweethearts?

In Lin Yi's heart, the Savior System, whose image had already been greatly damaged, collapsed even more seriously at this moment.

However, no matter what, these are not the most important issues to worry about right now.

The most important thing is to deal with the current troubles.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi once again looked at the half-open door in front of him.

Broken windows with cold wind blowing in.

Glass fragments, some wood chips, and other unknown pieces of garbage were scattered on the ground.

The choking smell of smoke mixed with a rust-like stench lingered in the house for a long time.

Most of the doors in the entire building have been damaged. There are some doors that appear to be still usable, but they are completely nailed shut with wooden boards, making it impossible to confirm the situation inside.

If these just make the house look dirty and shabby, making people feel that it will take a lot of time and money to redecorate it, then the following features will make it hard for people not to have the desire to speak well of it.

The dried blood on the wall.

On the ground, there were dragging bloody handprints, long bloody handprints that had scratched deep bloody dents on the wooden floor.

A deep, dark trail of blood stretched from the corridor into the house.

Messy bloodstains on the ceiling.

There were also traces of dried blood flowing down the stairs from the second floor.

The stench of the dead body still lingered in the room and never dissipated even after a long time had passed.

"I have already... looked up what happened in this place..."

Iino Miko, who had a distressed expression, spoke in a low voice at this time.

"This is a haunted house that is well-known in Guangzaka Town."

"Ten years ago, there was a female novelist who lived alone here. One night, a mentally disabled lunatic broke into her home and cut her body into hundreds of pieces. Then the lunatic turned on the faucet of the kitchen sink, blocked the drain, and drowned herself in the sink."
