Chapter 85: Chapter 85: I Won't... Mmm, Please Continue...
"That is indeed the case."
Wise confessed directly to Grace. The latter was a bit surprised by his honesty but quickly returned to her previous serious and solemn appearance.
"Hmph, to think you'd dare to admit it directly. I really didn't misjudge you. But don't you think this is over. Even if I approve of you, it's not that easy to win the shorty's heart!"
Eh? To make Koleda happy? It seems pretty simple. Wise was still wondering why Grace would say that. After all, at a time like this, shouldn't she be telling him to take good responsibility? Then he heard her continue to speak.
"The shorty's father left when she was very young. You know this point too. Even though we have tried our best to give her care, she is still a child who is very lacking in love. So don't you think that just because she temporarily has a good impression of you and is willing to kiss you on a whim, you can start to do whatever you want! You two still have a lot to go through if you want to be together in the end!"
"Uh, so when you said 'done it', you meant kissing?"
"Yeah, isn't that it?"
"No, that's right."
Wise really didn't expect that Grace's tone was so serious before, but what she was talking about was just kissing. Anyone who didn't know would have thought that 'done it' meant... Could it be that because they hadn't spent much time together, she hadn't thought in that direction? Or was it that she only knew about things related to machines and didn't know that humans could also combine?
Forget it, let's not talk about this first. Since Koleda didn't even tell her own big sister, then I won't say anything for now.
And looking at Wise thinking for a long time without speaking, Grace blinked her eyes, as if she had thought of something, and then said seriously, "If you want to give the shorty a gift, it's best to cater to her tastes."
"Since that's the case, then Grace, as Koleda's older sister and also the person who knows her best, do you have any good suggestions?" Wise did know that Koleda would be very happy if someone praised her for being tall, and this was also something he had discovered by chance at that time.
"Alright. Since Wise has asked me like this, actually, don't look at the shorty as being very strong. In fact, she also likes cute things like a normal little girl. You can give her some kitten or puppy dolls or something. Don't give her any old-fashioned gold or silver jewelry. The shorty doesn't care for those things."
Hearing Grace's words, Wise nodded to show that he understood, and then said, "In that case, then what kind of gift does Grace like?"
"Eh? Are you asking me?"
"Yeah. After all, Grace has helped me a lot. So if there's anything you want, just say it directly."
Grace was stunned for a moment by Wise's words, then smiled slightly, once again showing the appearance of a big sister. She even reached out and stroked Wise's head as if treating a younger brother. "I don't need anything. You just focus on preparing the shorty's gift. I personally like machines very much. If you are willing to accompany me in my experiments with your special ability, I will also be very happy."
Although Grace said so, Wise had no intention of giving up on giving her a gift. After all, if you really believed a girl's words like this, then you would lose. "If it's for Grace, then of course I can."
As for the gift, before I come next time, I'll make a plush toy and a small robot myself. Anyway, the skills for this in the system's Emotion Value store aren't expensive.
"W-wait a minute! What do you mean, 'if it's for me'? Don't suddenly say things that are so easy to misunderstand!" If the shorty heard that, she would definitely be jealous! At that time, if she accidentally misunderstood... wuu, I don't want to become a bad older sister who snatches her younger sister's man!
Such a thought appeared in Grace's mind, but it was quickly thrown to the back of her mind because Wise could cooperate with her in her experiments.
After once again witnessing the ability that Wise displayed, Grace was amazed. "This is truly incredible! To think that you can command an intelligent machine to bypass the highest directive without any authority, and I can't even find a single trace of intrusion in the system."
Looking at the intelligent machine that was obediently listening to Wise in front of her, Grace quickly swiped her fingers on her tablet.
"This is just my own special ability. Other people don't have the technology to invade Belobog Heavy Industries' system." As he spoke, Wise also casually stroked the obedient intelligent machine at his side. But who would have known that as soon as his palm made contact, the latter seemed to have short-circuited. The machine twitched a few times, and even sparks came out. Then, as if it had lost control, it crashed into Grace at the side.
The impact wasn't too heavy, but it also made the latter lose her balance. The tablet in her hand also accidentally slipped out of her hand. And she, in order to protect the tablet, directly threw herself forward to catch it. She had thought she would fall heavily because of this, but Wise at the side came forward at this time, reached out to wrap his arm around her waist, and held her steadily.
"Wise, you... Th-thank you."
Grace's face was slightly red. She then got up and signaled for Wise to let her go. She then checked the tablet and the machine that had just lost control for the first time. After finding that there were no problems, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. As for that intelligent machine, because it realized the mistake it had just made, it obediently shrank in place.
"Hm? Grace, you seem to be hurt." As he spoke, Wise also pointed to the other party's lower back. The originally fair and tender skin was now a bit purple. It looked like it was caused by the machine's impact just now. Because Grace was busy with her inspection, she hadn't noticed this point.
"Hiss, now that you mention it, it does seem to hurt a little. But it's just a small injury, don't worry about it. Let's continue with the experiment."
"That won't do!"
Seeing Grace wanting to act as if nothing had happened, Wise naturally couldn't agree. And the former was also startled by his reaction.
"If you don't treat the wound, I won't do the experiment with you. And I'll also tell Koleda."
"Wuu, alright then. I really lost to you."
Under Wise's threat, Grace finally compromised. She then took out a long-dusty medical kit from the side. She took out the ointment from it, preparing to apply it to the wound. But embarrassingly, she couldn't see that position, so she couldn't apply it even if she wanted to.
"Let me help you."
"Oh? I almost forgot you were here. Then I'll have to trouble you."
Grace originally didn't want to trouble Wise, but since he had taken the initiative to suggest it, she couldn't refuse this kindness. After handing the ointment to Wise, she also climbed onto a nearby table to make it easier for Wise to apply the medicine for her.
...(Content Deleted)...
Finally, amidst intermittent sounds, Wise finished applying the ointment. He then properly bandaged the wound to ensure it would heal faster. And after all this was done, Grace's face also became bright red.
