After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

"The concept of family affection...?"

"Yes, it's the concept of kinship, the father and children, the grandparents and the next generation, or the kinship and family affection such as brothers and sisters."

"Yes, that's true. When a brand-new robot is introduced, it is usually sent to the home of an older robot for training. And if two different types of robots combine to create a new robot, it will also be trained until it can stand on its own."

Korevi nodded and slowly began her explanation.

"In that case, it's somewhat similar to our human traditions, isn't it? It's just that you might not know... among us humans, love and marriage are actually just a very short process. Even if two people fall in love, they will eventually turn into kinship."

"what?"

"So, ZW-211 and ZW-212, since you two are in a relationship similar to siblings, why force a fleeting romantic love? Haven't you already achieved a more enduring kinship?"

"!!!"

……

Su Ling's words stunned both ZW-211 and ZW-212. They looked up and sighed, "Human... Miss Human... you mean..."

"Well, actually, it was my older sister who told me that, when I was very young..."

Chapter 20 Su Ling's Experience

My name is Zhou Suling. I am the second young lady of the Zhou family at Chengche Academy, and also the younger sister of Suling.

When I was little, although I was a bit lively, I was a very shy person. I didn't want to talk to strangers and I didn't want to go out alone.

I always pestered my older sister to take me out to play, to catch butterflies, and to go on adventures at school!

but……

Although my sister is really gentle, she always takes me out.

But my older sister is a few years older than me, and she'll be going to school soon, so she won't be able to play with me anymore.

that time,

I felt very disappointed, thinking that I had been abandoned by my sister, and even acted willfully, jumping and bouncing around at home.

Because I heard that my sister might make friends at school and even join various organizations, so she won't be able to play with me anymore.

I was all alone, so I felt very resentful and desperately wanted to recapture the old days.

but……

……

"Ah, Su Ling, don't bother your older sister anymore. She has so many things to do."

"Oh dear, my sister said that again! Does my sister not like Su Ling anymore? If she doesn't like her, she should just say so."

I know I might be a little annoyed, because all kids are like that, right?

but……

"How could I not like Su-ling anymore?"

"But my sister clearly doesn't spend time with Su-ling anymore."

"Hmm...that's because I know that studying takes time and effort, and getting to know classmates takes time, but no matter what happens, we're still sisters, aren't we?"

"what?"

"Of course, I'm not saying that I don't value Su-ling anymore. What I'm saying is that no matter what happens, aren't we still sisters? No matter how the world changes, nothing can shake our relationship."

……

……

Su Ling understood after that.

While friends are important, family is the most important.

Even if we're separated by vast distances and can't keep in touch, we'll always be sisters. This relationship is eternal, ZW-211 and ZW-212. Now that you've become siblings, haven't you already forged the strongest bond?

……

……

Although the social structure of robots is different from that of humans.

However, emotions can be shared to a certain extent. The robots in the audience were silent, as if contemplating the meaning of "family."

And what about ZW-211 and ZW-212, who were the ones being judged?

He knelt on the ground, and his CPU seemed to have crashed.

"I………"

"Brother, let's stop here."

"But if that's really the case..."

"Why don't we just stay together without getting married? There are no laws in the robot kingdom that force us to do that kind of thing."

“I…I understand. Lord Corivi, we are willing to plead guilty and no longer wish to be together.”

That's how the matter was settled.

Su Ling also breathed a sigh of relief and slumped into her chair.

"Phew...that was close, but thankfully, Su-ling did it."

"Suling, well done!"

Lonnie smiled happily and praised Su Ling.

"Huh? Not bad..."

"Hmm, what Su-ling said earlier makes a lot of sense. Actually, no matter what kind of relationship it is, it will eventually turn into companionship, so titles and honors are not important. What's important is being together."

"Hmm, that's roughly the idea, right? Su-ling doesn't really understand either; she was just recounting her experience~~~"

Su Ling smiled foolishly, but it was clear she was very happy to receive Lonnie's praise.

However, at the same time, Elusia secretly smiled and pretended to be "angry" as she said, "Oh? The title doesn't matter. Does that mean the little fox is no longer going to be my maid and doesn't recognize me as her master?"

"what?"

"Looks like the lesson wasn't enough. Well then, let's turn on the remote control~~"

"No!!!!"

……

If Lonnie were to let out a soft moan in court, she would lose all face.

Fortunately, Elusia was just trying to scare him and didn't really mean to tease him. And soon enough, the final court hearing of the day arrived.

However, Lonnies hadn't expected this...

The prisoner pushed up was a robot familiar to the girls.

TVP-050!

"Lady Coriway, I'm innocent! I'm completely innocent!!!"

TVP was begging for mercy as soon as he was brought to the courtroom.

As for Coriway, she tapped the gavel and said, "TVP, whether you are innocent or not, can't the humans decide? The human princes have already judged such a complex case, do you think they would make a wrong judgment on your case?"

"Yeah, that seems to be true too."

"Well then, let me explain the case. Your Highness, you may not know this, but taxes are the cornerstone of the robot kingdom's operation. Without taxes, we would all lose our home... As the owner of the supply station, TVP should be paying taxes to the robot kingdom regularly, but not only is it far short, but even the cables are broken."

"I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to. I really can't hand it in."

“That’s right, of course I know you’re broke, and I know you have health problems. I also know you missed the deadline because you were working as a tour guide for humans… otherwise you wouldn’t be here, but would have been sentenced and sent to the dark tunnel!”

Korevi seemed to be paying homage to humanity, her body trembling slightly involuntarily: "So the content of this judgment is whether or not your taxes should be waived, and whether or not your crimes should be investigated!"

"what?"

"Your Highnesses, how did you arrive at your judgment?"

……

……

Lonnie was taken aback, feeling that this case was much simpler than the previous two.

However, Elusia shook her head and said, "No, this judgment is the most complicated. That girl, Corvi, is teaching us the boundaries between emotion and reason."

"The line between emotion and reason?"

"Yes, this is something that robots can't avoid, right? They are rational beings, but they follow in the footsteps of humans and have developed emotions similar to feelings. So robots have always been confused and have never known how to deal with the coexistence of emotions and rationality."

"!"

"For us, TVP should be considered to have worked hard, right? So Correveal wants to see how we punish him."

"In that case, should we handle this strictly according to the law and uphold its absolute nature?"

"No, that's not good either. After all, in the last era, an ancient person named Luo Xiang once said that legal interests are the basis for criminalizing crimes, while ethics are the basis for exonerating criminals. The law is not unforgiving, and it is a good thing that robots have emotions."

"What should we do then..."

"Hmm, let me think about it... Oh right, how about this time, the little fox makes the decision?"

"what?"

"Since it's one person per match, it's time for silly Lonnie to make the decision~~"
