I was in my first riding first-class seat, gathering the gaze of the surrounding VIPs, listening to humanity's first android.

"Sun Shiloh conducted research and analysis on that personality from all angles on employees who were seen as particularly good by peer reviews within Grimps. The methods range from general questionnaire examinations and structured interviews to life history surveys, to free-form interviews and scrutiny of their work deliverables. The result was that the more curious the employee was about the unknown, the higher the job performance. This result is even moderate compared to the general common sense estimated by the Common Sense base. Sun Shiloh treats this finding as useful and an important parameter when interpersonal.

"Yeah... I mean, what do you mean?

'I did my own self-programming to act on' curiosity '.

"Can you do that?

'It's not a big deal. According to the Common Sense Base, humans try to take in by imitating other human good things. Sun Shiloh likewise has the authority and ability to optimize the programs that define him/herself.

"Self-evolving artificial intelligence, or..."

'Definitely with that understanding.

Sun Shiloh and I were starting to feel like an outgoing horse would fit.

No, he's on Sunshine, maybe he's up to me.

Guess my interest from my attitude, reaction, and what I say, and shake a topic that is likely to interest me. Such a program - no, it wasn't surprising at all that I was self-learning.

You won't have to be guilty that you're getting it together.

He is artificial intelligence.

You can't possibly feel frustrated by fitting me.

Sun Shiloh's rational way of speaking also stopped worrying so much if he got used to it.

I'm a law graduate now. Compared to the wording of the tasteless, dry law, Sanshiro's way of speaking that he had analyzed the big data of the spoken language was fluent and even skillful.

"Still... that's remarkable."

Only in the first class, other passengers are gentlemen, and I feel the gaze of curiosity from all over, although there is nothing like a blatant peek.

Of course, it's Sunshine's fault.

A young woman sits in first class, champagne, and no matter how she looks on one hand, she's only talking to someone who looks like a robot coming out to SF.

This makes it harder to say not to be interested.

Still, I haven't had first class yet.

At the airports in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, children were asked to come together indefinitely to take pictures.

Ultimately, the guards rushed to create an impromptu photography venue with the airport staff. So I was supposed to be allowed to deal with the kids until flight time, and I was relaxed when I got into first class. When I say it's the first first class of my life because of it, I'm exhausted and I can't afford to just enjoy it.

And it is also the gaze of first class passengers.

It must be time for someone to talk to me because I can't keep my curiosity under control.

I decided to take the lead.

I decided to ask the flight attendant lady to set aside time for the first class to introduce me to Sunshine.

The flight attendant woman didn't break her smile when she saw the smooth-moving talking sun shiro in front of her and heeded my request. Is this the strength of a flight attendant entrusted with first class?

"Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me for relaxing."

Flight attendants call on first-class passengers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as you have already noticed, there are currently some passengers in this first class who are a bit unusual. That passenger offered to greet you all. Gentlemen, may I have some time?

First class passengers applauded the words of the flight attendant.

First class passengers are classy to the way they applaud, I think they're in the wrong place.

With Sun Shiloh I entered a well distinguished part of the First Class.

"Uh, gentlemen. Sorry to disturb you. But you all seemed concerned, so I decided to say hello. The name of this silver android next to me says Sun Shiloh. An experimental machine equipped with innovative artificial intelligence worked by Grimps, and I was entrusted with its educator. Look, Sun Shiloh."

Looking forward, Sanshiro went one step forward with an accurate reading of my intentions.

'- Please use my battery.

Suddenly I wondered what to say, but some of the passengers erupted.

To investigate, it must be the line of an SF movie, the original story of the appearance of Sun Shiloh.

'That's a joke. Ladies and gentlemen, nice to meet you. I am Sun Shiloh. You may be suspicious, but no one is in me. It's not even remotely controlled using radio waves. Seriously, my consciousness resides in this electronic circuit in my head.

Passengers waver at the words of Sunshiro.

'If you have any questions, I'd like to accept them, but right now I'm in the middle of escorting a lady. Since Grimps and I have not been able to fold together the scope of information disclosure, could you please exchanging business cards for today?

Passengers, applaud.

That's why over the course of about an hour, Sunshiro and I started exchanging business cards with first class passengers (Sunshiro had his own business card neatly in his luggage).

That was just the first class ride, and the alignment was all about the executives of famous companies and government greats. Inside were even famous Hollywood actors whose names I also knew. This actor was the one who played the lead role in the remake of the SF film that became the original story of Sun Shiloh's appearance, and together with Sun Shiloh, we were all set to film a memorial.

Some people were interested in my title as a professional gamer and told me to talk to them if there was anything I could do to help. Maybe I found a candidate for sponsorship after a while.

By the time the business card exchange was over, I had business cards piled up a few centimetres high on my hands from people who were cowing the world.... What are we going to do with this?

"... Sun Shiloh, I'm tired so I'm going to sleep a little"

'For my sake, I'm sorry. Good night, Mademoiselle.

"Mademoiselle?"

Whether it's Raymond's hobby, the chief development officer, Sun Shiloh jokes and rhetoric all the time. I don't know how to react. You can leave me alone if you're going to joke, but if I'm seriously mistaken for saying that, do I need to correct you as an educator?

I was asleep while I was thinking about that.

When I woke up from my sleep, it was dark outside the plane window.

It would be flying around the middle of the Pacific in time.

He was tired of the REVOLVE finals, meeting Sun Shiloh, and the disturbances at the airport and first class, and I seemed to sleep well for a long time.

It's night outside but I didn't feel like sleeping again.

'Congratulations?

"Yeah... Sun Shiloh is... well, you've been awake forever"

'No, I was waiting in power saving mode, so it's like I was asleep.

"Oh, that's what you need"

'What makes this android the biggest bottleneck in working is power. Batteries are so expensive so far that they allow Android to run continuously for long periods of time, and that's not even going to be satisfactory.

"... you're not gonna run out of batteries and stop moving on the way, are you?

When that happens, I will have to carry this equally large mass of metal to a place where I can manage to recharge it.

'We always take and manage high safety rates for battery levels, so you'll be fine first. Some batteries are for emergency use.

"Then don't worry."

Outside for the night or the first class was quiet.

"Sun Shiloh, why did you choose me as an educator? Doesn't look like he was number one in the draft either."

I asked what I cared about.

'First of all, as a premise, I was paying attention to your abilities. It's hard to remain a champion for six years with a special genre of fighting games that change balance and change strategy every time there's an update.

"That's it? Then there's someone else, isn't there? You think you're a chess world champion or a chess professional? Well, how about Russell Bertrand, the world's number one tennis player? He's in his late thirties, but he still hasn't given up his world ranking."

"Russell Bertrand is among the candidates for the educator. We dropped it off from this selection because no systematic data was available on chess.

"What can I say, the world of fighting games, compared to the world of professional sports, is the entertainment of a limited number of people, right?

'That's irrelevant in this case. Top players in popular sports were also eligible for selection, but no one was more interesting than Bertrand in tennis. Compared to the world of sport, the world of gaming is inferior in terms of general awareness, but the special nature of the competition and the direction of the abilities required there were in line with the human nature that I would like to learn.

"Phew..."

Indeed, even in the same "professional" presence, the direction of competence would be different for professional athletes and professional gamers.

"But only for games, it's FPS and RTS that dominates America. The champion over there didn't make it to the candidate?

"Fighting games have an element of 'reading', don't they? Reading occurs more or less in other forms than it is a game, but I have decided that it is the fighting game that demands it most instantly.

"Well, I guess that is"

Still, it's somewhat refreshing.

For the first time in the world, I find it strange that mankind's first conscious artificial intelligence, by extension, refers to itself as a master.

'... the truth is, there's another important reason. It has to be you, for a reason.

Said Sun Shiloh, wearing a human jerk.

"Meaningful, huh?

'For you, it could be a disgusting story. If you ever feel ill along the way, tell me right away.

…… Okay. "

I have no idea where Sun Shiloh is trying to take the story.

"The Intuition Series is an AI developed to reproduce human intuition. But intuition can sometimes be wrong. Determining if your intuition is correct is purely logically impossible.

"Yep...... it's the intuition that has no reason, so you can't determine if that intuition is right by validating the reason......?

'Yes, we have to determine whether intuition is correct through matching work with the outside world and whether there is consistency between intuition and events in the outside world.

"That's... well, I guess so"

'But common sense is also something that isn't always right. When trying to explore scientific truth, common sense becomes a stereotype and clouds the researchers' eyes.

Newton said he saw the apple fall and came up with the law of universal gravity.

But anyone who had ever seen an apple fall was as much before Newton.

They didn't realize the law of universal gravity because they thought "it's natural for things to fall".

Common sense, however, becomes an obstacle to scientific truth-seeking as a stereotype.

I was remembering such logic.

'So if you're going to harness the' intuition 'of artificial intelligence, filtering by common sense is not a very good hand.

"I can figure it out. Go on."

'Artificial intelligence should have confidence in its own intuition by analyzing the information in the outside world on its own and with consistency with the results. Intuition 2 was built on such belief.

"... although it seems good. Something wrong with you?

'Yeah. Intuition 2 has analyzed a document that has been credited with a certain absurdity and determined to be' true ', both logically and intuitively. In retrospect, if you are a person of common sense, it is a document that is appreciated as never believing.

"It bothers me when they say that much. What the hell is that document?... Oh, hey, isn't it called the Bible or the Koran?

'Unfortunately, Minagi's reasoning is incorrect. Incidentally, the Bible and the Koran have been determined by Intuition 2 that their contents are' false '. Of course, because it is a politically problematic outcome, Grimps stopped interested parties from speaking out about this outcome.

"That's an amazing story... but what about the document that was determined to be 'true'?

When I hear, Sun Shiloh hesitates to hold his mouth.

Is this another act? It's a big deal if it's non-verbal communication to attract my attention.

That's what I thought, but when I heard the words of Sun Shiloh, such leeway blew away in an instant.

"- It's a pestle note.

Pestle.

Hiroshi Pestle.

That was an unforgettable name, even if you wanted to.

Seven years ago, a passerby attacked me on the street to kill me. Later research also shows that he was a devil worshipper. A rare serial killer in Japan's criminal history.

"Determining the contents of Hiroshi Pestle's remaining notes as' true 'led me to accept the assessment that Intuition 2 lacks reliability. However, intuition 3, developed on the basis of that reflection, also determines the contents of the pestle document to be' true '. However, whereas Intuition 2 simply analyzed the contents of the document to determine its authenticity, Intuition 3 carefully analyzed the document based on the meta-cognition that it would be universally appreciated for absurdity, leading to the conclusion that the document in question was' true 'at the end of repeated discussions with the Common Sense Base.

I exhaled slowly and for a long time so that I could catch the cold that struck my body.

"Common sense based?"

'A Common Sense Base is a database of common sense, introduced from Intuition 3, to compensate for common sense judgment skills that were lacking in Intuition 2. The developers of the intuition series, who believed in "not being caught in common sense," were reluctant to introduce a common sense base to the end, but had to admit the introduction because of obvious flaws. Its obvious flaws are one of the only pestle notes.

"Indeed, your predecessors must have had flaws. Pestle note? Sounds stupid. After that incident, there were some careless people who were making noise about deciphering the notebook, but the level of artificial intelligence didn't mean that much after all."

I throw up irritated enough to know for myself.

"Is that why you chose me? Because I'm the victim of that case? You shouldn't have taken on an educator for that kind of crap."

'I know how you feel.

"I don't know!

I yelled at him unexpectedly, and I looked around.

Come on, the voice didn't seem to reach the other passengers right now.

'I know how you feel. But that's not the only basis. By assuming the pestle notes are true, you can reasonably explain the unnatural behavior of pestle hunters.

"... is there any rationality in the behavior of a passerby?

'Logic exists in human behavior, even if you are making some factual mistake or in a state of mental confusion. Human beings can't act bullied (Atlantic) in the real sense. Not to mention Passenger Murderer/Hideyoshi Pestle is an extremely high intellectual level figure. In fact, Pestle has spanned a number of different crimes that the world has not noticed as such, calling it a ritual of devil worship.

"It's..."

Indeed, the impression of Hiroshi Pestle is chiseled.

Genius surgeon. The owner of the poor brains. Nonetheless, it extends to ridiculous behavior that it's a passage killer, and before that, he said, he worshipped the devil. Police commented that there was some kind of mental illness.

But the passageway that was in front of me that day was exciting, but not losing me. Calmly, using his head, he was efficiently killing innocent people who were on the street. I still dream about the sight.

That's why I've always been caught in the back of my brain about a man named Hiroshi Pestle.

When I talked to my counselor, I was told that was because the incident was traumatic.

But I don't think so. Truth is, even if I think back about the incident, I feel terrified, but not as disturbed. I think I can digest enough about the case myself.

Certainly some people in the world suddenly wave blades at strangers. But at the same time, there are people who stand up to men like that with their lives to help strangers.

I did not become a human disbelief in that case. Instead, I could know that some people in the world could believe it.

But the believer died in such bad luck. It was the police officer who killed him. Even if he wasn't killed, Mr. Kagi was likely misidentified as an executor of the Passage.

So I wanted to be a lawyer. That's why I went to law school.

I'm pretty sure that incident has been a major turning point in my life.

But if that case is traumatic, I can tell you that's not true.

So I also have a neutral view of the killer of that case, Hiroshi Kishizaki... Should be.

Yet when I think about a person named Hiroshi Pestle, my impressions don't come together well.

Hiroshi Pestle was excited but calm then.

Hiroshi Pestle was at that time extended to the crime with some purpose.

Then did Satanic worship and doings also have some rational purpose?

That would be the case if I spoke frankly of my impressions, but what the hell is that "some purpose" and "reasonable purpose"? I don't know when they ask.

The counselor did not listen properly just trying to link my story to the wounds of my heart.

"The pestle notes... are you sure you're right?

'That's how Sun Shiloh judges it.

"Seriously?

'The Common Sense Base was disputing my judgment to the end. For my part, I am not confident in my judgment because I am too inconsistent with other events in the outside world. True or false pestle notes. As absurd as it may seem, the Artificial Intelligence Intuition Series cannot prove its usefulness as long as the problems of this document cannot be overcome.

"For that, to me?

'You, of course, are also meant to visit your country.

"I don't know why."

'I guess.

"Totally......"

That said, the on-board conversation with Android stopped.

I look at my face in the window of an airplane, thinking blurredly of what was heard from Sun Shiloh.

Eventually, the drowsiness that had gone far returned.

The next time I woke up, the plane was just before I arrived in Narita.

So much less, the plane lands on the runway.

The first thing I thought about stepping on Japanese soil was that it became a habit after REVOLVE.

"… First, we have to go to the report"

The young man who risked his life to help me during that incident - Chiki Kagi.

As I sought to find out about him who had died of misadventure, I was to step into the world of fighting games. And now I'm even a world champion.

Strange edge.

It all started with that Passover case.

When Mr. Kagi rubbed against the Passenger, I squeezed my courage and cling to the Passenger. That wasn't good. On the clap, Kagi-san stabbed the passageway with the knife he took. Upset Kagi-san. The cops arrive. The policeman fired without even listening to Mr. Kagi.

And I shook my head, blinking.

I think Kagi had a sense of redemption for stepping into the world of fighting games he liked. That's why I indulged in the game. That's when I needed something to indulge.

In doing so, at some point there were no players in the country who could beat me, and I was to compete in the World Games.

I may be offended by people admiring professional gamers, but I myself have never wanted to be a professional in gaming. He said he'd pay for the trip, so I was just supposed to get it about the sponsors.

As a result, he won REVOLVE.

I remember being more confused than happy.

Due to the material received by the media as a high school girl world champion, it was hard to cover all the interviews when she returned home.

In my busy days, what was floating behind my brain was Kagi's back then.

I decided to go in front of the game center where the example passerby incident occurred and turn the flowers to Kagi-san.

Even if the flesh dies, the soul is immortal. I don't believe that.

I just want to report that I was able to win again this year thanks to Kagi.

That's probably the sentiment that the Android sitting next to me doesn't understand.
