305 – Born This Way (1)
Theo’s eyes were going up and down. Vibrant chicken skin appeared on his forearms and neck.
He tried to calm his mind and asked Eo back.
“What I just said. “Say it again…”
Eo spoke without delay.
“This is a picture I drew. Did you draw it well? “Praise me, Theo.”
‘······I didn’t hear wrong.’
As soon as I heard the word oppa, I got goosebumps.
‘No matter how good your learning ability is, you can’t believe it changes so much in just a few hours.’
The growth rate of AI was incredible…
When Theo was shaking his head while thinking about that.
Eisha said to Theo.
“Why are you suddenly dancing in the middle of the night? “When did that go out of fashion?”
“······It’s not dancing.”
“Really? Anyway, Eo wants you to praise him. “Please praise me quickly.”
Theo looked at Eo in silence.
At that time, Ney said.
─Child, what is the situation now? What is that picture again?
Nay cannot properly listen to others other than Theo.
‘Hmm… I guess Nei can’t even hear Eo, who isn’t human.’
Theo explained to Ney the whole story, including that Aisha gave the name ‘Eo’ to the robot.
Nei said in an admiring voice.
─Oh my. That’s an amazing ability. I can’t believe I drew a picture like that in less than an hour. However, when looking at the excellent aesthetic sense of this body, there are some parts that are somewhat disappointing.
─What part do you regret?
─Fundamentally, I believe that a work of art should contain the soul of the creator. However, the picture drawn by that child named Eo is just an imitation of someone else and does not contain his or her soul.
Ney’s point was quite sharp.
However, it was a harsh evaluation for Eo, who had only learned drawing for less than half a day.
In a way, it was proof that Eo’s drawing skills were that outstanding.
Theo quietly recited.
─Well, isn’t there a saying that imitation is the mother of creation? If you follow this and that, you will be able to find your own path.
─It’s been a while since you spoke normally. They just make fun of this body every time.
─You’re making fun of me. It is said that if you keep mentioning facts that you read in a book but do not remember, you will sometimes remember them, Gray Princess.
Ney was upset.
─Be quiet! Hmm, anyway, try teaching swordsmanship and martial arts to that kid named Eo. It seems like an unprecedented expert could be born.
─I was going to do that even if you didn’t tell me. The regular robots we saw in [Ford Company] Quickly imitated other people’s movements, so the same goes for Eo.
Nei asked in a serious voice.
─Have you ever taught someone?
─Of course, I have never taught swordsmanship or martial arts. However, before possessing this body, I worked as a part-time instructor at a small academy.
─Ah, I remembered. I heard she taught a subject called national water. Well, give it a try. If you get stuck, ask.
─I understand. I think I’ll probably learn it quickly.
Theo recalled Piel absorbing his skills quickly.
─Geniuses quickly make something their own just by watching them. Didn’t you say the same thing?
─Hmm… As expected, the further into the past I go, the more blurry the memories become. I don’t remember very well, but I think it was like that.
While Theo was talking to Ney.
“Ichaam, Theo. “Eo asks me to praise you.”
Eisha said to Theo.
Theo thought for a moment.
‘Hmm, should I praise you? ‘Should I not?’

I thought that if I disciplined my child with praise from the beginning, he might develop bad habits. It was in a similar context to the fact that children who grew up listening to people around them yelling ‘Ohnyaohna’ from a young age were more likely to have selfish personalities.
But it wasn’t Eisha.
She immediately stroked Eo’s head.
“Wow~ Our Eo. “You drew it really well~ Isn’t this a genius?”
Eo felt Isha’s touch, and suddenly she grabbed Isha’s wrist as she stroked her hair.
Eisha said hesitantly.
“Uh, huh…? Oh, why…?”
Suddenly, Eo became expressionless and spoke.
“I didn’t ask Eisha to praise me.”
“Well, like that…!”
Eisha was in tears.
Anyway, Eo looked up at Theo and opened her mouth.
“Praise me, Theo.”
After seeing that, Theo decided on the discipline method he had been thinking about.
‘······I try to avoid giving compliments as much as possible.’
In his opinion, if Eo was taught by asking questions, he would likely end up in trouble.
He would quickly learn and master anything other than drawing, but he couldn’t even praise him every time.
‘Praise only when you do a really good job.’
I don’t know why, but Eo longed for Theo’s praise.
Theo’s theory of education was that what one longs for is not easily satisfied, and even if it is, it is not completely satisfied… As I am not satisfied, I think I will try harder.
‘If you look at Eo’s specs, it can be assumed that he is a genius on the level of Neike… If you add effort to this, you will have a huge hand.’
After organizing his thoughts, Theo looked down at Eo with indifferent eyes.
“You drew it well.”
Then he immediately looked away.
Eo asked back.
“Is it the end?”
“Yes.”
“Uh…”
“I’m tired, so I’ll sleep first. Oh, you have to train with me starting tomorrow afternoon, so please know.”
After saying that, Theo entered the room and closed the door.
Eisha muttered while looking at the back.
“It’s like Theo.”
Eisha spoke to Eo, who fixed his eyes on the door Theo entered.
“Eo, it’s okay. Theo is usually a bit stingy with praise. “It’s definitely not because Eo can’t draw!”
Eo didn’t even make eye contact with Eisha, and just looked at the door Theo had entered and said to himself.
“Aisha praised me so much…”
“It’s okay, it’s okay! Theo is usually a bit blunt. “Sometimes I hurt myself, so don’t worry!”
“······.”
After a while, Eo spoke as if making a promise.
“I’m sure you’ll get lots of praise from Theo too.”

The next day.
Theo came to the basement of [The Hilte] Early in the morning.
Taylor smiled and welcomed Theo.
“hahahahaha, Theo. “It’s nice to see you often these days.”
“······Please refrain from making such comments, Mr. Taylor. “If other people hear it, they may misunderstand it.”
Taylor soon understood the meaning of what Theo said.
“Oh, my s*xual identity? Don’t worry, Theo. I am heteros*xual. “I don’t have a lover yet.”
“Of course, I know that Taylor is heteros*xual, but other people probably don’t think that way.”
“Hmm, why?”
“There is a joke among students that if a man is handsome, tall, and rich, but is single, he is homos*xual. “Taylor meets all of the above elements.”
Taylor burst into laughter.
“hahahaha~ Students these days have fun saying things like that. Well, I try hard to live young, but I guess I’m getting old. Well, then let’s be careful when other people are around.”
“I would appreciate it if you could do so.”
Theo revealed the purpose of coming here early in the morning.
“Anyway, where is Fiat?”
“Miss Fiat is in the recovery room. The researchers said the surgery went well. “Aren’t you probably sleeping at this time?”
Theo entered the room where Taylor pointed with his finger.
As soon as I entered the room, I heard Fiat’s voice.
“Are you here, Theo Lin Walderk?”
“It’s early morning, but you’re awake. “Do you usually wake up quickly?”
Fiat shook his head.
“No. Normally it would happen a little later. “But I woke up because I heard a conversation outside.”
“As expected, these are very excellent five senses. “I just came to check on your condition, so you could have continued sleeping.”
Fiat responded immediately.
“You can’t do that. “As a wife-to-be, how can I lie down on her bed when her husband-to-be comes?”
“······I see. “How is your body?”
“It seems like the transplanted leg is not yet completely synchronized with the original body. I swung the sword, but my arms and legs were all acting separately. But I think you’ll quickly get used to this.”
“I’m glad I heard it. Take care of yourself. “I will come see you again.”
“Yes. Even if I don’t do that, I plan to quickly reorganize my body.”
“Why is that so? “If you overdo it on a body that has just had surgery, it could be worse for your body.”
Fiat said, narrowing his eyes.
“Soon, an assassin will come from [Lining Mind]. “They would have figured out the current situation by now.”
She did what she said.
“Secretary General Alaïa is a person with excellent situational judgment skills. He will definitely send his full force. “It can kill you and me.”
