"What's wrong? Is something the matter? For lunch, can Mom prepare it a bit later?"
Ignoring Aunt Maruko, Su Jun walked straight toward an inconspicuous cardboard box in the corner.
'Swish, swish, swish...'
In three quick moves, he swiftly opened the cardboard box.
Inside the box, a familiar wooden box came into view.
Su Jun's face lit up with joy: "That's right, this is it!"
Opening the wooden box, inside was indeed a red oval capsule—the sleep-learning program that sealed the robot!
"Kabutack!"
"Activating..."
The moment the capsule was opened, a flash of red light flickered, and it immediately grew larger.
A red, rounded figure resembling a paint bucket appeared on the spot, its big eyes blinking cutely... "B-Series Robot Kabutack activation complete!"
"Kabu~ Kabu~".
Chapter 7: The peace star Appears for the First Time!
Kabutack and Su Jun exchanged glances, feeling a sense of familiarity.
As the number one of the B-Series Robots, he was the first robot created by Dr. Torao.
With a red exterior, his primary form is slightly bulky, resembling a red paint bucket.
But his antennae resemble a rhinoceros beetle, looking quite handsome.
Soon, all his information refreshed on the system panel.
[Kabutack]
[B-Series Robot (No. 1)]
[Basic Strength Value: 200]
[Possesses Super Transformation Form, Giant Form]
[Weapon: Electric Baton]
[Personality: Enthusiastic, Kind, Serious, Possesses Samurai Spirit]
Looking at the information on the panel, Su Jun felt very relieved.
'As expected of a top fighter among the B-Series Robots.'
'Just the basic strength value is already much higher than fighters like Scorpion Lailai and Spider Detective.'
But still.
This silly appearance is quite adorable... After explaining Kabutack's origins, everyone understood.
Especially Xiao Rang, who was particularly excited. He had been missing his grandfather Torao, and now seeing Kabutack made him feel especially close.
Some were happy, some were angry... Aunt Maruko was very displeased with Kabutack's appearance.
"Tch... Another broken robot made by that weird old man."
In earlier years, Maruko and Torao, as daughter-in-law and father-in-law, did not have a harmonious relationship.
Because making robots almost exhausted the family's savings.
Now the old man has simply disappeared without a trace, leaving the heavy burden of the family weighing on Maruko, making it hard for her to breathe.
"I don't care, you're not allowed to stay in this house."
"Huh? Kabu~ Kabu~ I'm innocent..."
Kabutack looked innocent.
"If it's really not possible, I can stay and do housework. I can sweep, mop, do laundry, and even clean the toilet!"
"No!!"
Maruko's angry roar echoed through the room.
"Any robot made by that weird old man cannot stay in this house!"
"Wife! Enough..."
Masatora, who had been silent on the side, finally exploded.
"After all, he is my father."
"He is a great scientist. How can you say that about him? We..."
Halfway through his words, Xiao Rang also stepped forward to plead for Kabutack.
"Yes, Mom..."
"Kabutack is a top fighter among the B-Series Robots."
"Let him stay. He'll be a great help to us!"
"At least we shouldn't let Grandpa feel disheartened... We also..."
Before he could finish, Xiao Rang's words abruptly stopped.
A powerful aura erupted from Aunt Maruko's body.
Her gaze was like a sharp samurai sword, sweeping over Xiao Rang and Masatora, making the two tremble all over.
Maruko may appear gentle on the surface.
But once she shows her The irritable side, it becomes Extremely terrifying!
The father and son immediately ran forward, hiding behind the not-so-tall Su Jun, He cowered and dared not make a sound.
In critical moments, this father and son are really useless... Forget it, I'll handle it myself.
"Ahem... Mom~"
As soon as the word 'Mom' was uttered.
Maruko's originally furious expression softened considerably.
"Su Su... What is it?"
"I want to say, let Kabutack stay."
"First, the robot can guard the house. We just moved to a new home, so we don't have to worry about safety."
"Second, Mom, you work hard doing housework every day. Kabutack can help share some of the load, right?"
"..."
These two short but powerful sentences were quite reasonable.
In this day and age, having an intelligent robot that can guard the house and do housework costs at least 100,000 yen.
With Kabutack, it's like having a free assistant... Aunt Maruko frowned, and her A mood as raging as thunder immediately calmed down.
Because of last night's incident... As a mother, she already felt uneasy.
Facing such a well-behaved and sensible son's request, how could she not agree?
"Su Su does make a good point~"
"Alright, let's do as Su Su says."
Not only was Maruko not angry, but she also agreed with a gentle smile.
Everyone was stunned.
Xiao Rang: "Brother Xiao Jun is amazing! Mom agreed so easily?"
Masatora: "My wife, whom even medicine can't conquer... How did Xiao Jun do it?"
Kabutack: "Yay! I can stay, Kabu~ Kabu!!"
... With Kabutack's help, tidying up the room became twice as efficient.
He was very grateful to Su Jun.
If Su Jun hadn't spoken up personally, he would probably have had to sleep under a bridge from now on.
"Kabu~ Kabu!"
"Xiao Jun, from now on, you are my master!"
"Uh... Alright."
Glancing at the 'red paint bucket' beside him, Su Jun smiled faintly and nodded.
Actually, with his current strength, he doesn't need to rely on robots.
He just needs to gain more experience points from Aunt Maruko... "Kabu... Xiao Jun..."
"Watashi actually... is a bit hungry... Is there any food?"
"..."
Su Jun looked helpless, but upon careful thought, it was understandable.
Kabutack had been sealed in the capsule for three years, undergoing program learning.
In the settings, B-Series Robots need to eat, drink, sleep, and rest.
Their survival model is almost the same as humans.
It's intelligent technology... but also quite troublesome.
"Food, huh..."
Su Jun turned his head, his gaze falling on Xiao Rang's mother.
This middle-aged beauty was currently bending over, her Rounded wiping cabinet, with two long, beautiful legs under her loungewear outlining a perfect curve.
Today, this woman had sore wrists, so she was only doing some light housework.
As for the reason for the sore wrists... it was Inseparable related to last night.
"Mom is busy. Go look in the kitchen downstairs yourself."
"I remember there should be leftover rice balls and curry bento from this morning, and maybe half a watermelon."
As soon as the words were spoken, Kabutack's eyes widened with surprise.
"Ah! Watermelon!"
"I love watermelon the most! Watermelon, here I come! Here I come..."
"..."
Kabutack quickly ran toward the door, but he didn't notice what was under his feet.
Thud~
His mechanical leg kicked a cardboard box, and a Retro round clock flew out from inside.
With the force of the impact, the round clock flew straight out the window!
This scene was Just right seen by the couple.
Maruko and Masatora widened their eyes, looking angry.
"Ahh!! That's the love clock between me and my husband!"
"Kabutack! You troublemaker!!"
