"My dear sister, you should go out more lately instead of staying cooped up at home. I've already arranged a school for you. Just enjoy your academy life!"
While Artoria was busy using Runic script to hypnotize a bunch of people as her subordinates to find "Robert Reynolds," Tony suddenly approached her. He was very worried about his sister staying at home for several months without going out, fearing she might develop some psychological issues. As Artoria's legal guardian, he felt he had to have a good talk with her.
"Alright! But don't make me an AI butler; it's too boring."
Looking at the serious Tony before her, Artoria didn't intend to argue. At her current age, it was indeed unsuitable to stay at home. She still had many plans in her mind that hadn't been implemented, and she was currently very short on power and talent.
With her short legs and the Stark surname, she was destined to be watched by the upper class of America, not to mention having an older brother who would be Iron Man in the future. She was very short on time now. The Sentry Serum wasn't her only choice. The Northern and Southern Hemispheres in her mind hadn't been activated. If they were, she wouldn't be so passive. It would be good to learn more knowledge now to lay a solid foundation for the path against heaven.
"Since you agreed, the lines I prepared won't be needed. I'll get that little thing done for you in three days."
"Hmph! You should just shut that foul mouth of yours. I heard you've been sleeping with a cover model again?"
"Oh, how did you... I mean, it's nothing."
Unable to stand Tony's smug attitude, Artoria retorted by bringing up the recent gossip in the newspapers. Being called out like that by his own sister made even someone as thick-skinned as him feel particularly awkward. Thus, under Artoria's disdainful gaze, the talkative Tony rubbed his nose, awkwardly shut his mouth, and finally chose to leave, not forgetting to remind Artoria not to be late before he went.
"Have people continue searching for these three individuals: Robert, Anna Marie, and Logan Howlett."
"Also, tell them to get the company established quickly; we need to develop fast."
"Yes."
After Tony left, Artoria spoke to a maid beside her. This maid was one she had recently selected for her proficiency in law and finance. Artoria intended to use some knowledge from her past life to create games from that era. Establishing a video game company was essential; it wasn't just for fun, but because she needed her own controlled industries to gather the materials she required. Some magic circles needed very specific materials that weren't easy to collect. She wasn't worried about money now—as a 'Stark', how could she lack money? However, she didn't dare touch the money on the surface, fearing that interested parties might take notice.
Upon receiving Artoria's orders, the maid began to act. Through magical brainwashing, Artoria wasn't worried about her betraying her, but such people had no combat capability at all, which made her think of Homunculi.
"You still have to pay to win! How can you get stronger without spending money!"
Thinking of this, Artoria felt a bit helpless. She returned to her room and took out a small box filled with gemstones.
"Take a gamble, turn a bicycle into a luxury car."
According to the maid on duty that night, various strange sounds came from the Eldest Miss's room, with phrases like 'What the hell is this?', 'Fuck you', and'Screw you'. The maid chose to have selective amnesia.
Three days later, Tony fulfilled his promise and delivered an intelligent butler with permissions restricted only to Artoria. Although that's what he said, under Artoria's skeptical gaze, he still silently deleted the backdoors he had left behind.
"Please name me, User Artoria."
"saturday, call me master."
"saturday reporting to you, master."
"Self-running upgrade initiated. Setting permissions: all of Artoria's commands are the top priority. Other commands are based on the first rule. In case of conflict with the first rule, execute the first rule with priority."
"Yes."
Tony explained all the usage methods to Artoria. Originally hoping to see a look of admiration from his sister, Tony found himself ignored. Did he really think Artoria didn't know? Aside from the source code being extremely difficult to create, everything else was relatively simple; and this source code was just copied and modified from j.a.r.v.i.s..
After Artoria saw Tony off, she began her research and setup. Indeed, with the help of an intelligent butler, many things became convenient. Artoria also bought several cloud computing servers to upgrade saturday's processing power. While Artoria was having the time of her life, she finally had to go to school again.
