Chapter 1161 Robot People

"Hmm, perhaps through the combination of Mana Disruption and Void Wielding Arts, but even then, I don\'t know for sure." She sighed. "Not without risking destroying the tree and burying everyone here alongside it."

"I guess we\'ll have to find another way then. Maybe those golems know something that could help us. They did say something about a device committing an error of sorts. And then saying that we weren\'t their slimy friends."

"Slimy friends?!" Asked Pyuku. "So maybe they want to see slimes? Buy why… Just what\'s going on?"

"We\'ll find out soon enough." I stood in front of the house, gently knocking the door.

Knock, knock.

"Err, hello?"

"Who is it?" An innocent voice answered.

"We are the persons you summoned from the surface. Um, can we talk? We are very lost here, we don\'t know where we are or what happened…" I asked politely.

"Eep! Mom! They\'re hereeee!"

"Dammit, they got us?!"

"But they are being polite, not like before."

"Wait, no! Don\'t go yet! As the man of the house, I\'m going outside first."

Suddenly, one of the golems opened the door, it was almost the exact same as the others, but it called himself "father".

"I am father. What do you want, strangers? L-Let me tell you that I won\'t let you harm my family…" He pointed a pointy metallic stick at me.

"I-I am sorry that my friend scared you, we mean no harm." I said. "And, err, "father", please don\'t point a weapon at us…"

"Umm… O-Okay, if you say so." He quickly threw away the weapon without even questioning anything. "They say they\'re good people!"

"Really? Good people?"

"Good people!"

"Good people are good I think."

"Let them in!"

"In! In!"

The voices of the golems became more intense and happier, were they this easily convinced? I was shocked by their artificial intelligence. They were trying to act so… "human" yet they were too innocent.

The door opened as the "Father" let us inside, the whole "Family" greeted us. We noticed some of them were wearing colorful hats or bows, maybe to differentiate one another for looking so similar.

"Hello, big sis!" One of the golems approached me, wearing a pink bow over her head. "I am Little Sister!"

"H-Hi." I smiled. "Come in." I called my friends as we were all invited to sit down around a huge metallic table, everything was dusty, and the hair was very heavy here. The smell of metal and oil was strong.

"So what happened here… It seems that we ended summoning wrong person." Said the one that called herself "Grandma".

"Wrong person, we are sorry." Sighed Little Brother.

"Sorry…" Said Baby Sister.

"I\'m sorry big sis." Said Little Sister.

"We are sorry…" Sighed Father.

"I-It\'s fine, I guess you couldn\'t help it. It seems you are not really good at handling those devices…" I giggled a bit, they were funny.

"I-I\'m sorry too, for threatening you, I wasn\'t right in the head." Aquarina apologized.

"It\'s fine, we like the big girl, strong and big. Good people." Said the one that called herself Mother.

"Good people! Good pe- Bbzzzttt!"

Suddenly, Baby Sister started to malfunction glitching and releasing loud and inaudible sounds, then, she dropped over the floor, her eye light appearing and disappearing constantly.

"Baby Sister!"

"Aaah, it\'s happening again!"

"Oh no, help her."

"We are but… The core, too broken now."

"Nooo!"

The golems panicked, as they surrounded the one that had begun to "fail", their circuits seemed to be failing. We panicked but didn\'t knew what to do.

"Maybe I could help with my Alchemy, can I synthetize her core back to normal?" I wondered. "It should be possible, right?"

"Perhaps, but it feels like you would first require some basic understanding of how they work." Alice sighed. "And if you end up failing, she could get worse, or die."

"L-Let me do this!" Suddenly, Nephilim stepped in. "S-

Somehow, I know about this… It is as if it is part of my knowledge, to repair you people. The robots."

"Robots?" Aquarina wondered. "I-Is that their name?"

"Yes, they\'re like golems, but much more advanced, packed with advanced artificial intelligence. They were the former and first servants of the gods, and still are, but the older versions, such as these, must have been abandoned long ago." Said Nephilim. "It could be said I am an advanced form, though, I still remain with parts that are… Somewhat "alive", so it could be said I am a cyborg."

"What with these weird names?" Aquarina was growing more confused than anything.

"A-Anyways, can you save her?!" Pyuku asked. "Let me help in anything I can!"

"Yeah, me too!" I nodded.

"T-Then…!" Nephilim decided to ask the robots. "Can you please let me help her? I\'ll have to open her up and seek her heart. Would you allow me?"

The robots glanced at her with blinking lights in their eyes, some seemed afraid, trembling. But their "parents" were the ones to take the decision.

"You are like us? Can you save… daughter?"

"Please, save her… we will trust you."

"Yes, I might not be completely like you but, I am like you." Nephilim smiled faintly, as she quickly started to work. "Now, calm down and listen to me. I will slowly open the chest area and check your internal cables, okay?"

"Oka… bttzzz…"

The robot was constantly buzzing, unable to properly move and releasing sparks of electricity from her body. Following Nephilim\'s lead, the chest area was opened, revealing a myriad of small trinkets inside and countless cables made of many metals forged and smelted together.

Nephilim assembled them and repaired them, while I used cleaning magic to quickly clean the inside from all the dust accumulated, and the rust that was there, blocking many important areas.

Later, with Pyuku\'s assistance, and using a variety of tools the robots handled to us, Nephilim and I repaired, fixed, and put together the cables and the core, which had only a tiny crack.

It ended taking almost an hour long, but once we were done, she was as good as new! I even cleansed all the rust over her body, making her shine with a new bronze color.

"Mama, papa, I\'m fine!"

"Oh, daughter! Daughter!"

"Daughter is fine. So happy."

They were a cute family on their own right…
