Who would have thought Celine would not be the only one with such a question?
As in the depths of DG’s bustling booth, a posing mecha that thought having one leg up looked cool almost faltered.
Obviously, D-29 couldn’t be caught gasping and expressing opinions unless the little system wanted those crazed researchers all over its expensive body. But the part-time model and full-time eavesdropper simply couldn’t help it.
This couldn’t possibly be real!
As the undisputed star of the security system, D-29 had to continuously look around for inexplicable behaviors and major inconsistencies.
It was a job the little one took seriously for the sake of prosperity and employment, while also being privy to tales unlike the ones it was used to.
But D-29 didn’t expect to witness something beyond inexplicable. Something so unusual that it had to take a break to consult with the extremely reluctant guardian mecha.
"Sid! There’s a major anomaly. I think I must issue an emergency warning!"
"What?" The guardian mecha reacted as one could expect and was ready to inform his masters until the panicked system actually showed him what was wrong.
"Look!"
"..."
"..."
"What exactly am I supposed to be looking at...?"
"What do you mean, what?!"
"Clearly it’s Deputy Officer Curtis and Tech Specialist Eden!"
"I can see that," Sid said it like he was trying to control his gears from turning ice cold.
"No! With such a reaction, you clearly don’t! Look! They’re kissing! Mwah, mwah, mwah! And just 27.8 seconds ago, they kissed again! Since they’ve finished their portraits, they’ve kissed at least four times."
"Four!"
"!!!"
"Wait! No. Now every time Lord Curtis gets a prize from the claw machine, they kiss!"
"And he always gets a prize!"
"I thought their questionable behavior was a result of being infected by the suspicious couple I had been monitoring... but no!"
"They had actually started kissing beside Lord Jax’s 8177th great-grandchild before even meeting them!"
"What else could it be but an emergency?"
"..."
"..."
"What exactly is the emergency here?"
"Huh?"
"Yes. Tavian Orell is most definitely an iss—"
"They don’t like each other!" D-29 blurted with a whir.
"What?" Sid paused to ask.
"That’s the emergency. They don’t like each other, but suddenly they’re exhibiting unusual behavior that’s very unlike their everyday behavior!"
If mechas could sigh, the guardian mecha would have done so with the intensity of a destabilized planet.
"No. That’s not unusual for them."
"???"
"According to the pertinent files I am privy to because of certain circumstances, they even dated before."
"!!!"
"WHAT? How could that be?!"
"The vitals are all over the place! Cortisol levels are even—"
"What do you mean, how? Don’t you know this already? It’s not often presented like this in your... research materials, but this is simply enemies to lovers in real life."
It took everything in the guardian mecha to say such words. Never once did he think he would ever utter them. But today, he had to do such a thing to save them all from the protective barriers suddenly going up.
"You don’t usually get to see the vitals of the subjects in your research materials. That’s probably why the current readings don’t make sense."
