Episode 76. Everything is possible in a family
Late at night.
Inside a moving car.
The person sitting in the passenger seat is talking loudly. He looks like he’s quite drunk.
“Because of those damned idiots! Because of that guy, isn’t Daehyun in chaos right now! Huh?! I know the owner of the Daehyun repair shop there, he complained that people don’t come because of that.”
“Did that happen? Those guys are really bad.”
The person in the driver’s seat agreed with the man’s words.
“So, there’s talk that Daehyun Motors headquarters is going to abandon R&S and change to a system where the headquarters directly signs franchise contracts.”
“Oh, I see.”
“This, this is what I mean, we always have to keep an eye on it. You know what I mean? The people have to keep a close eye on what these public figures are doing. Right? You know what I mean?”
Are those people really public figures?
“Yes, yes, of course. I understand.”
I had a question, but the answer I got was different from what I expected.
The person driving is Manager Park.
He was in danger of being fired when his previous company replaced its workforce with Androids, but fortunately he was able to keep his job.
That’s because it was once ruled that it’s still ultimately illegal for Androids to drive.
Because of this, Manager Park was able to remain in the company as a driver.
Oh, what are you doing now?
What I’m doing now is driving for someone else.
I was able to stay at the company, but my salary was lower. Still, it was higher than minimum wage, so I guess that’s a good thing.
As a result, the workforce at home could be composed of two androids and one working male.
His wife also got laid off because her job was replaced by an android. Since the android is doing all the housework, he is just sitting around idle.
So, my income has decreased compared to before, so I am currently making up for it by working as a designated driver.
“Androids are really like this. Wow~ These times have really changed so quickly. It’s amazing how science can exist in the world like this.”
“Do you have an Android, sir?”
The customer brought up the topic of Android, perhaps because he had some idea.
“Me? Yes, I do~ You don’t know how good I am at my job. I run that restaurant over there.”
“Oh, is that so?”
It is true that these days, it is really hard for all workers. It is now impossible to work steadily and receive a steady salary at a good company.
On the other hand, I heard that because the conditions for self-employment have improved tremendously, there are a lot of people who go to regions where land prices are cheap and start their own businesses.
“But now you’re saying that you bought a male version of Android because of your wife. Do you know what I mean?”
“Yes, I know.”
Manager Park smiled faintly at the customer’s complaint about the male type.
“So next time, we agreed to buy it in the female form. Sir, do you have an android?”
“I have one too. We have two. One for women and one for men.”
“Haha, your house is the same. But I’m really jealous that there’s a female version.”
“That’s how people live. Haha.”
This was the most relatable story I’ve ever heard from a customer.
After dropping off the customer, Manager Park returned home late at night.
As I was entering the apartment, I saw a slender woman. But she was an android.
Due to the mandatory Android identification, Androids were required to wear accessories that could identify them.
When I got closer, I saw that it was Deputy Director Park’s android, ‘Seol’. These days, it’s trendy to name androids with single letters. There is no surname.
By the way, the male android’s name is ‘Bin’. The male android has a special origin in its name. I think everyone knows what the origin is.
“Ah! Boss.”
Vice President Park’s title is President. His wife is called Madam.
“Uh… Seol-ah. Are you done now?”
“Yes, were you tired from working late?”
An android speaking with a gloomy expression.
Android Seol, who came back from working part-time at a cafe in the evening.
Her innocent, girlish appearance made my heart melt, but at the same time, I felt something strange.
I think everyone who has ever bought an Android will agree, but when you first buy one, you don’t think much of it.
Since it’s just a robot, you might think that you can use it just like a robot vacuum cleaner, but that’s not the case when you actually buy it.
It’s impossible to express in words how it feels to have such a pretty and handsome being next to you, who is no different from a human being at all.
“No, well. That’s how I’ve always been.”
“Let’s go home together.”
“Oh, okay. Let’s go in.”
The two took the elevator and entered the house. They were greeted by Manager Park’s wife.
The wife saw the two of them coming in and looked them up and down with a meaningful look.
“You came in together?”
Her cold words.
Oops. I made a mistake.
Should I have come in at least an hour early? Honestly, from my perspective, nothing had happened, so this misunderstanding was really frustrating.
“Yes! I met the boss in front of the house.”
But Android Seol answers cheerfully.
The good news is that my wife has adjusted the personalities of all the androids in our house, and has set them all so that they cannot lie.
At the time, I was secretly dissatisfied, but now that I think about it, I think it was fortunate.
“… Really? Hmm.”
Are you doubting whether it is possible for someone who came home late from work to do that?
“I’m going to wash up.”
Manager Park came in through the living room, saying he was going to wash up.
In the inner kitchen, Android Bean was busy doing something. He was also tall and handsome.
What did you make me do again?
With a sense of appreciation, he roughly tidied up his clothes and entered the bathroom.
Swish.
I thought as I soaked in the warm water.
In the first place, isn’t it more suspicious of his wife? Not only is she at home, but Bin always comes home earlier when he drives for someone else.
Of course, that doesn’t mean he’s already done something with Bin. He knows that because he asked Bin himself.
Oh, I didn’t ask because I suspected you were having an affair with an android like my wife.
Rather, it was more like I asked with anticipation of whether it had happened.
In the first place, he has no aversion to using Android. No, why? In fact, if you think about it, isn’t it close to doing it alone?
We don’t say that we cheat on adult products just because we use them alone. I don’t understand why people make such a fuss about that.
To be honest, my wife also likes it deep down.
You can tell just by looking at it.
This woman is an android and pretends to have no feelings, but that’s absolutely not true.
You can tell by looking at the way they speak and act like they did when they were dating a dozen years ago.
When I think about all the things I did back then to try to seduce this woman… .
No, wait a minute?
Why didn’t I think of that?
You can just tease her.
After quickly taking a shower, Manager Park went into the work room where the computer was.
“Bin-ah, when you’re done, come to my workroom.”
“Yes, sir. I understand, sir.”
Bin is an android that was bought under his name.
He is currently taking over his original duties at the company he works for. Deputy Manager Park is helping him with this while also working on vehicle operations.
So it wasn’t surprising that this kind of thing happened often, and his wife didn’t seem to care at all as long as he wasn’t with Seol-i.
After a while, Bin came into the studio.
“Come in quickly.”
“Yes, sir. But is everything okay today?”
Androids learn in one go once they are taught. If they don’t, then the instructor did it wrong.
Because of this, the learning speed is incredibly fast.
I already knew the basics about the job and was only teaching additional information as the situation required.
But today, nothing really happened.
“No. I have something important to do.”
“Oh. What’s going on?”
“Hmm… .”
Deputy Director Park, holding the weight with his arms crossed.
“… … ?”
As Bin looked at him with a puzzled look, Vice President Park opened his mouth.
“I’m going to give you a mission.”
“What is the mission?”
Bin asked confidently.
“By any chance, when you come home from work, what is your wife doing?”
“Your wife? She usually cooks a lot.”
Nod, nod.
It was a very good situation.
“Then you go up to your wife and hug her tightly. That’s what I used to do when we first got married, and you should do it.”
“Huh? … Isn’t that an expression of affection?”
Bin asks cautiously.
“That’s right. It’s an expression of affection. It’s skinship.”
Deputy Director Park nodded with a determined expression.
“But I don’t think your wife likes that kind of relationship with us.”
“No, I don’t think so at all.”
Vice President Park shook his head this time as he answered. However, Bin looked completely unsympathetic.
“I… But even so, if Madam refuses even a little, I have no choice but to do as you say.”
“Hey, sir. Don’t you know that a woman’s rejection isn’t rejection at all?”
“I can’t help it….”
Well, it’s Android, so that’s how it is.
“Okay, then listen first.”
“… … .”
The expression on his face somehow looks like he wants to leave. Why is the expression of his emotions so delicate for an Android?
“I’ll give it a try, but if you reject me, I don’t think you’ll physically resist me, so it’s not rejection, right?”
“… How much should that be?”
To what extent?
Vice Minister Park was speechless at Bin’s question.
“Um… It’s hard to put that into words exactly.”
“Then how would I know…?”
“Oh, really. Once you try it, you’ll know intuitively whether that subtle escape is right or not.”
“… … .”
Deputy Director Park continued to think for a moment as Bin, of course, seemed unconvinced.
“Then you know, keep making excuses for me.”
“Boss, is this an excuse?”
“Yes, so you are replacing me. The boss said he wanted you to show his love on his behalf. Say so.”
“Huh~?! But I’m not the boss.”
Ahem. Why are people so surprised and embarrassing?
“Oh, that’s not what’s important. It’s the cause.”
“… … .”
“Okay, you get it? I tried it, but what if my wife keeps talking nonsense?”
Bin reluctantly answered at Vice President Park’s urging.
“Boss, I’m making excuses….”
“Yes. For example, the president said that he loves his wife so much that he wants me to take on that role. That’s what I’m saying.”
Bin’s expression also looked extremely bewildered at that absurd line. It was an expression of doubt as to whether it would work.
“But my personality is such that I can’t act that awkwardly. Will I really be able to convince someone with lines like that?”
Vice President Park looked closely at Bin’s worried face.
“It’s okay. You have a plausible face, so it won’t matter at all.”
“… … ?”
Leaving Bin’s questions aside, Vice President Park continued his explanation.
“Anyway, in the end, you have to see the end. That’s your mission.”
“The end…?”
“Okay, that’s it. Don’t you know what I’m talking about? You don’t know what I’m talking about, do you?”
“No, I know!”
Bin answers this part confidently.
“yes?”
“Yes, but the basic knowledge is already learned at the factory.”
“Oh… I see. That’s really fortunate.”
Vice President Park persuaded Bin before going to bed, finished special training, and went to work the next day.
Honestly, I wondered if it would work even if I ordered it myself.
But he trusted Bin’s face.
Manager Park finally finished work and returned home.
I came in a little earlier than the day before, so I didn’t meet Seol.
“Wow… you’re here?”
“huh.”
As soon as he entered the house, his wife looked slightly shy and embarrassed, and shook her head.
The atmosphere has changed somewhat. It certainly seems like Bin has tried.
But I don’t know if it was successful or not.
As Manager Park came inside, his eyes met with Bin’s, who was organizing the refrigerator in the kitchen.
“Are you here, sir?”
How did it go?
Deputy Director Park asked without making a sound, making a mouth shape.
Then Bin made a circle with his finger and showed it to him.
Okay. There’s no way you’ll fail with that face.
Haha.
Now, all that’s left is for Vice President Park to deal with things naturally so that his wife doesn’t feel embarrassed. After that, things will go smoothly.
