Chapter 1705 – [A Debut That Causes a Typhoon!!!]
First, regarding Eve’s debut, Shion and I decided to share what facts should be revealed and what facts should not be revealed.
The first thing to reveal is that Eve comes from an artificial intelligence background. Honestly, it’s the most basic thing, so it’s hard to hide it, so it’s better to reveal it from the beginning. Moreover, if we go too far, even artificial intelligence may have an advantage in being from Earth.
What should I say… In modern society, ultimately, regardless of whether you are black or yellow, you are an Earthling, right? That’s roughly it. If he was born on Earth, he is an Earthling and there is no discrimination against him. Even Eve can’t roughly fall into that standard and hide that side.
However, regarding the artificial body, I decided to take responsibility for this separately.
“Let’s say I got the Eve shell from a dimensional civilization.”
“That would be better. It would be much more persuasive and better to say that I obtained such technical skills through your connections than to say that I have such technical skills.”
“The development itself was made with what you did. It was Eve that grew by transplanting it to the prosthetic body I got. Furthermore, it should roughly fit something like that.”
“After all, not many people know about Eve, so kissing her is not difficult.”
Few people know about Eve. Even if you exclude my family, the only people who know about Eve are the scientists who studied Eve when she was created and those who were familiar with Eden.
If we, Eden, are very sociable, there aren’t many people we can call close friends, even if we don’t just know them as friends… So it will be easy to persuade them for now. Instead, it has its own merits.
Basically, humans do not move easily unless they get something in return. For such an important matter, the best option is to pay a heavy price and keep them quiet.
If Eden is your friend, I think you can just skip it, but it’s still a good idea to grease it up. Everything in the world is like that.
“The important thing is the debut event. What should I do?”
“Hmm, honestly, that’s a problem. I can’t think of anything in particular. What about you?”
“There are a few things that come to mind…”
“Oh, which one?”
First, the opinion of Shion, who is smarter than me, is important when it comes to stories like this. Aren’t you able to think better as your thoughts travel further than me, who is an idiot?
Of course, there are times when I have intuition and come up with better ideas than Zion, but at least none of them resonate with the current situation. So I have no choice but to trust Zion.
“First, there is an option to use Eve’s resemblance to Eden. It’s just that the patterns are divided depending on the inclination…”
“Hmm, so?”
“First, Eve goes out on the weekend, and when people ask, she says it’s not Eden, and later Eden debuts as Eve on broadcast. This method will also have a big impact later, so it’s certain to be effective.”
“What is the other way?”
“The plan is to have Eden go out and work with Eve and introduce Eve to the public. After a certain amount of attention has been drawn, the plan is to introduce Eve through a separate broadcast… Which do you think is better? ?”
“Well…”
Either way seems to be effective. And it will be enough of a shock for Eve’s debut.
Since both are good options, I decided to ask Eve, the protagonist of this story, for her opinion. After some thought, Eve chose her second method.
“I want to go out and do some shopping with my sister. Instead, I want my father to go with me.”
“Really? Then it’s decided.”
“Wow!!!! An outing with sisters!!!!”
“It’s nice to see a father and daughter going out together. I will go out together next time Eve debuts.”
“I guess it’s a family outing then… I guess it’ll be nice.”
Since you have a plan, all you have to do is put it into practice. First, I was wondering when to go out, but since I had to go out too, I couldn’t go on weekdays when I couldn’t spend time because of the store, so I had to go on the weekend. I am waiting for this weekend.
Officially in front of people… Oh, of course, except for pretending to be Eden. Anyway, this is Eve’s first time going out as Eve, so she is putting more effort into preparing than usual so that she can receive more attention and look pretty.
“I like bright clothes. Eve, which one do you like?”
“Hmm, I like simple-colored, neat-looking clothes like suits.”
“Then, I will order a separate suit for women. It is the same size as Eden, so if you place an order, it will arrive before the weekend.”
“I have my own suit, but I already go out, so if I go out wearing what I used to wear, it’s a bit annoying… I think it would be better to buy a new one and wear it.”
And just as Zion said, the suit I ordered arrived before the weekend. It’s probably a luxury brand that only accepts custom orders, but seeing as it arrived right away in less than a week, it looks like Sion put in some effort.
“Nothing else, I paid about 5 times the original price for the express fee and said my daughter would wear it. So I think they took care of it well.”
“Then you would think Eden would wear it… Well, I wasn’t lying, and the publicity effect would have been clear.”
From their perspective, the publicity effect of having a celebrity wearing their clothes will be huge. In a world where people pay money for advertising, would they actually advertise for several times more money? Rather, it is something to be welcomed. The fact that time is running out is another problem.
And the long-awaited day of going out. Eden wore a cool-looking light blue checkered two-piece, and Eve wore a plain black women’s suit. Eden appears to be a woman who enjoys her youth and youth, and her Eve seems like a capable career woman who is passionate about work.
Her looks and body are the same, but her vibe is completely different. Of course, Eve resembles Shion more, so her default expression is expressionless, but the atmosphere was completely different with just her clothes.
“But it suddenly occurred to me, what should I do about Eve’s status?”
“It would be a problem if they created a status on a whim, so we will have to enact a bill on artificial intelligence human rights after they debut. There will be a lot of backlash, but… Well, if we push through everything, it will be possible within a few years.”
“There are a lot of things to worry about when you come from an AI background. But it’s only been a few years? It doesn’t take as long as you think, right?”
“There is a foundation laid. Honestly, it would take even me 10 years to pass such a bill from the floor.”
There is a big difference between granting human rights and status to beings from another dimension and granting them to artificial intelligence. Even aliens are people, but is artificial intelligence a person? What I’m asking is an ethical issue.
So it’s hard to get that passed. Even if Eve makes her social debut, she will probably have no status for a while.
“Well, if you don’t have human rights or status, you won’t be able to file a complaint if a problem arises.”
“It’s enough if you tell the person who says it’s not there, what will happen if you don’t have it. Why do I have human rights and not harass people?”
Anyway, preparations for going out are over. All that’s left is to go out in earnest.
I accompanied him as his driver, porter and bodyguard for the day. Today’s host is Eve, and as long as there is no problem, I will stay away. Since Eden is by my side, there probably won’t be any major problems.
“Eve, do you have anything else in mind? Like, where do you want to go?”
“Hmm, nothing in particular comes to mind… But there is one thing I want to try.”
“What is it?”
“I drink coffee leisurely in a café with a nice atmosphere. Without worrying about what other people think.”
“That wouldn’t be a bad idea. Let’s do some shopping and find a good café.”
I head to a fairly large department store a little further away. The department store we used to go to often isn’t bad, but Eve is coming into the world, and I feel like there’s something a bit off about a familiar place.
Of course, it is a department store of the same brand as that one, but it is located in the Seoul metropolitan area and was built with purpose, so the size of the building is more than twice the difference.
When I arrived at the department store, even though it was morning, the underground parking lot was crowded with cars and people. I wondered if I had to turn around to park, but as luck would have it, a spot opened up right away, and I was able to park.
“First, let’s look at Eve’s clothes and cosmetics… Then let’s pick out Dad’s clothes.”
“No, Dad, why?”
“Honestly, my dad doesn’t come out and buy clothes like this, he just wears what he has at home or wears clothes he bought at the market. And if you dress up with dad as a model, it makes shopping fun in its own way.”
“I personally want to try that too.”
“… Then what?”
Today, the main character wants to try it, but I have no right to refuse.
We got out of the car and went straight from the parking lot to the department store on the ground level. As I move to take the elevator, not only the parking attendants but also the people who were trying to park their car freeze when they see this.
First, customers like us may not know, but from the staff’s perspective, it was like the division commander had visited the unit without any notice… Some people were surprised, and others were in a hurry to contact someone else.
“Phew, the evil emperor and the Wakamo shrine maiden… Huh?”
“Why are there two shamans? Were they twins?”
There are also people who express doubts about Eve, not Eden. They look like twins, but if they had been, they would have been known a long time ago, so people are interested in who they are.
“If I had known this would be the case, would I have gone to the department store I often go to?”
“Dad thought that too, but he goes there often and is relatively less interested. So I thought this would be better, so I came here.”
You can go straight to the top floor by taking the elevator, but I deliberately only go up to the first floor because I want to look around slowly. The people I rode with glanced at me, even though they pretended not to.
Among them, considering its importance, more attention is paid to Eve. It’s been a year since her debut, so we know a little bit about Nana Eden, but Eve was an unknown person who was coming into the world for the first time.
“Um… You’re a shaman with the Wakamo shrine maiden, right?”
“Yes, that’s right. Did you come shopping too?”
“Oh, yes, that’s right. But this person…”
“This is my sister Eve.”
“Hello.”
If you want to leave a good impression, it’s best to treat them kindly. Of course, Eve had such a way of speaking that it felt like she was being cold even though it seemed like she was being friendly to others.
But she blushed because it seemed to suit the man’s taste. Ah… Honestly, it would be strange if a proud and cool career woman wasn’t popular.
“Ah, you are my younger sister. But this is the first time I have heard of you having a younger brother.”
“There was a reason I couldn’t reveal it until now. Well, I plan to reveal that gradually.”
“For what reason…”
“We got off on the first floor. Please excuse us.”
The elevator arrived at the first floor, and we got off first. Although Eve came out to debut, there is no need to reveal from the beginning that she is an artificial intelligence.
Because it was the weekend, the department store was crowded with many people even though it was morning. But as soon as we come out, the attention of so many people is focused on this.
“Huh? It’s Wakamo Shrine!!!!”
“It’s a terrible thing!!!!!”
Eden and Eve’s appearance is at the level of a martial arts expert, so even if there are a lot of people, it is easy to find them, so it is natural that they attract attention, and when people who found us shouted, that was the starting point.
It is no exaggeration to say that almost everyone in the department store is paying attention. And then screams and cheers began to come from all directions.
“Aaaaahhh!!!”
“Wow!!!! It’s a real evil emperor and Wakamo shrine maiden!!!!”
“But why are there two eyes?”
“Please sign!!!!!”
“Wow!!!!!”
It’s so messed up. There are people flocking here, and it looks like an accident could happen if you do something wrong.
It would be difficult for us to move if they got too close, so we used our telekinesis to control the crowd of people. There were quite a lot of people, so we had to be careful not to cause accidents due to people being pushed or crushed by each other.
“I’m a fan!!! Autograph!!! Please sign!!!!”
“Who is the person next to you who looks like a shaman?”
“Were you twins?! Or were you an alter ego like Korma?”
“Wow!!! My body isn’t moving!!!! It’s the evil emperor’s telekinesis!!!!!”
It’s already a noisy department store, but it’s gotten noisier. The good news is that the department store security guards came rushing in and helped to direct traffic to some extent.
We didn’t really contact you, but we are VIPs. They may come suddenly and have a hard time, but it is originally their job, and you can take care of them later for their hard work. Wouldn’t it be worth the hard work if I received a bonus like a tip?
However, shopping becomes a bit difficult… So Eden came forward and spoke to people.
“Everyone, I came out shopping with my sister today. I’ll sign autographs later, so please excuse me for now. Um… Around 3 PM? I think we’ll start around then.”
Ah, good behavior. It was nice to be able to hint at Eve’s existence and at least put things off, so we wouldn’t be disturbed for now.
Even though I postponed it to a later date, I would be in big trouble if I didn’t keep my promise. First, I think I’ll need the department store’s cooperation, so I’ll have to send a separate text message to Sion.
“Little sister? Little sister?”
“Not twins?”
“Looking at your appearance, I think you are my real brother…”
“Where is the disfigurement gene?”
“Miko’s younger sister!!!! What’s your name?!”
Someone’s question. And Eve revealed herself and introduced herself to the world, not to anyone who asked.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Eve.”
It’s such a touching moment. I remember when I came out a year ago.
… I guess I’ll have to suffer a bit from now on though. How will people accept Eve, who may be of a different race, but is from an artificial intelligence background? It would be good if it is well accepted, but there will definitely be some opposition.
Well, if you don’t accept it, I won’t care if Eve makes a movie like The Matrix, so behave yourself.
