The Regressor’s Notepad 296

Artificial Intelligence (2)

Elise stopped when she saw me. She ran over quickly and just stood there blankly, so I spoke first.

“What are you?”

Only then did Elise open her mouth.

“… …Surprise, surprise.”

“I was surprised.”

Elise patted Bianca while glaring at her with sharp eyes.

“… …Why are you touching it without permission?”

“I like that one too.”

“Huh. No way.”

Elise glanced at me. I was glad to see her, but unfortunately, I didn’t have time to reflect.

“Are you here for the seminar?”

“Yeah. Artificial intelligence is being invented. What about you?”

Elise pointed at me.

“Escort. I’m Libra.”

“──Huh!”

Then another voice appeared.

This time it was Raye.

“It’s Zion!”

Raye came over with a big smile. He had toast in both hands.

I chuckled.

“I guess you came together.”

“Oh. I came with Ellie. Zion, do you want to eat this?”

Raye held out the toast.

“No, that’s okay.”

“Really? It’s delicious. This place is really famous.”

Crispy – and then take a bite.

“Are you here because of artificial intelligence too?”

“ok.”

Raye’s answer gave me an idea.

“Then… … come. I’ll give you the best seat.”

“Clothes, really?”

“… … Is that okay?”

Elise opened her eyes slightly. I spoke with a confident expression.

“Oh. I grew up more than you might think. Follow me.”

We walked together down the hallway of the seminar room.

Bursting bursting – Raye ate her toast greedily, while Elise pecked at it coyly like a bird.

I asked the guy.

“But, don’t the new students at the Magic Tower originally not come to the continent?”

“… … That’s true. It’s hard for freshmen to keep up with the curriculum at the top. But not me.”

“okay?”

“There is work to do.”

“What happened?”

Then Raye answered.

“Rakel Dra. You know, Zion too?”

“… … Uh, uh. I know.”

I asked calmly.

“Why? Did you find any evidence?”

“No. There’s no evidence at all. There’s no guess at all. But… …the wizards are coming down to capture Rakel Dra.”

“Oh really?”

The wizards are coming down.

The magician of the magic tower is actually confident that he won’t lose to anyone who comes down. He has a strange body that is immune to most magic.

“Who is coming down?”

“Ellie. You know?”

“… … Isn’t that Lerman?”

Lerman. I hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

“He’s a famous wizard.”

Was it a coincidence? Or was it Libra, or Sheiloc, that I couldn’t see, that moved?

Lerman is the wizard of Libra.

There are quite a few Libra people in high positions in almost every field, and this means that he is one of them.

“Yeah. Since we’re coming as a team, Raquel Drado will be caught soon. It’s not common for the Magic Tower to get involved in worldly affairs.”

“… … It’s here.”

I guided them to the VIP seats, which were closest to the podium.

“Wow! Zion, you did it!”

Raye looked surprised, and Elise nodded with a “ho-ho” of satisfaction.

“I think we can do it, we’ll probably sell AI VIP subscriptions on a first-come, first-served basis after the presentation is over.”

Raye and Elise are smart, so they will figure out what secrets this AI has.

To begin with, the revelation of the soul bleaching is not enough for me alone, that is, for Killian’s whistleblowing alone. Other prominent ‘consciences’ need to lend a hand.

Even before the actual return, several sages, including Teia, took up arms.

“Hey. Zion. Do you know anything about artificial intelligence?”

Elise asked as she sat down.

“Are you talking about inside information?”

I put my hand on the guy’s head. Elise frowned and slapped my hand away.

“No way?”

“You, that’s a crime. It’s an economic crime.”

I put my hand on the boy’s head again. Elise shook her head back and forth to avoid my hand, but I persisted.

“Oh, no. Don’t do that. No, really.”

Elise twisted her whole body.

“What, what~?”

Raye looked at us alternately with her sly eyes.

“Okay.”

I stopped being bullied. When I took my hand away, Elise glared at me with her hair disheveled.

“I don’t know much about how this AI works. It’s such a top secret department.”

“… … Huh. I guess so.”

Elise snorted and picked up her smartphone. She was poking the screen with her fingers, as if she was trying to do something.

“You. Don’t even think about buying stocks.”

Because you’ll suffer huge losses.

The girl’s hand froze. She looked at me and quietly put her smartphone down.

It was just then that the presentation time came.

The space became appropriately dark, and people started coming in one by one until the place was full.

“Go.”

I left for my position as bodyguard.

* * *

Jedrick gave a lecture on artificial intelligence.

A very fancy-sounding word, as if intoxicated with himself as an innovator rather than the product itself.

─This artificial intelligence, ZR1, shows outstanding achievements in almost all fields, and can access the Internet and learn on its own at the command of its owner… … .

I listened quietly to Jedrick’s words. The content itself was certainly surprising to the audience.

Well, it’s true that it uses real souls, so of course it feels like over-technology.

“… … Look at him. Him.”

I zoomed in on Elise with the SZX-9500. She was fiddling with her smartphone and making real-time stock purchases.

The internal disclosure will come out in a few months at the shortest, or a year at the longest, so it would be profitable to sell it before then.

Anyway, I guess it’s true that you no longer receive any support from your family.

─… … That’s it.

Jedrick’s product explanation was over. Then, a thunderous applause erupted. I also clapped with the power of my palms.

BAM──! BAM──! BAM──!

Jedrick smiled at the loud noise.

─Then-

At that moment, someone in the audience suddenly stood up. Before anyone could say anything, ‘she’ asked Jedrick.

“What is the source of the AI? Is it simply created by magic?”

He tried to hide his identity by putting on a mask, but I knew right away who he was.

Teia Isil.

Jedrick smirked and waved his hand, calling for his bodyguard.

“Homeless people are disappearing one after another all over Edsilla. Also, surprisingly, the approximate number of missing people in a month is similar to the number of AIs that can be sold in a month──”

The guards grabbed her, covered her mouth, and dragged her out, struggling with her.

─Sometimes, there are people who are jealous of technology.

Jedrick talked like that. The whole place laughed too.

I also followed the guards outside. I stopped them from binding Teia’s limbs with magic.

“… …Let me go.”

“yes.”

The guards stepped back. I looked at her and knelt down on one knee. Her face was noticeably different from Teia Isil’s.

The level of intimacy is definitely great. Although not as much as mine.

“… … Miss Teia.”

“… … .”

Her shoulders shook slightly.

“Aren’t you talking too much nonsense?”

“… … Ha. You will find out soon.”

She laughed and got up. I just watched her turn around and leave.

“Uh, can I send it like that?”

The bodyguard asked.

“I have no choice but to send it.”

Finally, Jedrick’s balancer Smith showed up. He came out of the seminar room and stood next to me and asked.

“Who was it?”

“… … It was Teia Isil.”

Then the bodyguards were greatly surprised. Smith also raised his eyebrows.

“Was it a human face mask?”

“yes.”

“It was an act of God. I will tell Lord Jedric so.”

“thank you.”

I nodded softly.

From now on, I can’t stop the clash between Teia Isil and Libra. So, the best choice I can make has been decided.

Before she dies, put her in prison.

It’s the lesser of two evils that seems the worst.

I went back into the seminar room. I leaned against the wall and looked at the VIP seats.

Elise and Raye, as well as several other noble families, were writing up their membership contracts.

* * *

… …Wheww.

A pure white wind blows. Beyond, a mountain range covered in snow and clouds stretches out like a landscape painting, with no end in sight, and countless aspiring knights stand beneath it.

[It is a knight qualification exam].

“The objective of the first test is simple. In 120 hours, climb as high as possible on this mountain range. This ‘backpack’, which is the supply, is the same for everyone.”

Somehow I feel like it’s deja vu.

I think I remember taking this test with someone.

“Oh. That sounds fun.”

Solliet next to her said. She barely managed to meet the qualifications by entering the summer semester.

“That’s right. It’s called mountain climbing.”

“yes.”

I looked ahead. Gerken’s red head caught my eye.

“If you want to give up, just take this flag and come down. There will be countless monsters appearing along with the bitter cold, so don’t think about risking death. You could really die.”

The knight instructor said.

Actually, there are quite a few deaths during the knight qualification exam.

“It’s okay if you form a team, or it’s okay if you go up alone. Both methods will have their merits. Are you ready?”

Yes, that’s right──!

To the instructor’s shout, a loud reply comes back.

“Okay, let’s get started!”

He pulled out the sword from his waist and raised it high into the sky. It was the signal to start the exam, and thousands of cadets who were challenging the title of ‘knight’ ran up the mountain at the same time.

It was quite a sight.

“Zion. Shall we go?”

Solliet asked with a smile.

“I’ll do it alone.”

“… … What did you say?”

She had a face that seemed betrayed by the world. I smirked and corrected myself.

“Just kidding. Let’s go.”

“… … I was surprised.”

* * *

We climbed the mountain. The first 1,000 meters were easy, but the height of this mountain range is a whopping 9,000 meters above sea level.

It means that if you do it wrong, you could die.

“……Zion.”

Solliet asked as she walked up the road.

“Uh. Why.”

I stuck right next to Soliette.

“Isn’t that too close?”

Of course, Soliette seems a little uncomfortable with this distance.

“You have a high body temperature.”

The people of Arcne are using magic itself as a human stove because it generates a lot of heat. Even though I am physically strong, I cannot completely ignore the cold like Soliet.

“……hmm.”

Solliet looked somewhat dissatisfied.

“why.”

“It’s been like this since I was a kid. On cold days, there were a lot of animals and people that would cling to me.”

“… … I think it’s fate.”

“What is that?”

“That’s good. Let’s go up quickly.”

… … I saw a panel indicating [3,000m above sea level]. It was a milestone half-covered in snow, and underneath it was a small warning sign.

“Beware of the cold and snowstorm.”

Actually, the cold had gotten quite severe. It wasn’t just cold. I was on Soliet’s back, and Soliet’s lips were sticking out like a beak.

“Solid. Lift it a little higher.”

“What are you talking about?”

“temperature.”

“… … .”

Soliet glanced at me and increased the output of her magical power a little.

“Oh, it’s warm. It’s nice.”

“… … Really me.”

She frowned as if she was dumbfounded, but I was a little embarrassed.

“No, Soliet. Isn’t this a little abnormal?”

“What is it?”

“It’s so cold, it’s so cold.”

The cold is strange. It’s not like that, it must be minus 80 degrees. If it’s this cold at 3,000 meters above sea level, what happens if you go up a little further?

Wheeeeeeeeeeee───!

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew. There were snowflakes mixed in it. It was a blizzard. It touched my skin lightly and it felt like it was freezing.

“boiler!”

“… … Ao.”

Soliet radiated a great amount of magical power. I caught my breath inside the circular curtain.

“No, Zion. But what is a boiler? Call my name.”

Solliet glared at me, but honestly, I felt wronged too.

“I told you that’s not the problem. This is really weird.”

It’s a suspiciously cold winter.

Of course, direct magical action cannot harm me.

But if you dramatically lower the temperature of nature itself through indirect magic, it works for me too.

It seems that that kind of magic is happening in this mountain range right now.

For what reason?

Are you targeting me?

Or is it simply a natural phenomenon gone mad?

“… … Well. It’s okay. Anyway… … .”

Suddenly, Solliet’s mouth fell shut. She stood frozen, looking up at the mountains.

“why…….”

I, too, looked up at the same place and shut my mouth.

Cookies, cookies, cookies, cookies───!!

Avalanche… … no.

“Hey, hey! Hey!”

A snowball the size of half the mountain was coming down this way.

It’s already too late to avoid it.

“Solid, flamethrower!”

“… … Ah. I can’t do that!”

Soliet quickly drew her sword, and I did the same.

“Center! Let’s break through.”

“I checked.”

In an instant, we took the same stance.

It was a complete famine.
