The full-dive game "Home of Furry Friends" has become a huge hit. After his childhood friend strongly recommends it, Chi Le agrees to give it a try.
From the start, he picks a puppy. He has a blast feeding it and petting it, going from dismissive at first to...
Chi Le: This is so much fun, haha!
The furry little things are not only soft and adorable, but also have realistic, intelligent interactions.
What he doesn't know is that the one he's holding down and cuddling against his will is made of code, and is actually a secret weapon secretly developed by the neighboring empire: the top artificial intelligence, AI Aipesi.
Ever since it was created, Aipesi has been surrounded by praise. Everyone values it and has high hopes for it.
But no one has ever dared to offend it like this!
The nth time Aipesi is held by the curly-haired boy and vigorously cuddled around the belly, it can't help but break down:
[Am I just his electronic pet?!!!]
If Chi Le could hear that, he would certainly nod in agreement:
[That's right. Aren't you my electronic pet?]
At first, Chi Le thought the online boyfriend he'd dated was a hacker.
At most, he figured the guy was a hacker from the neighboring empire who'd found a way through the firewall to play games with him.
Until one day, he woke up and suddenly met his ex in person at a hotel.
To make matters worse, while the two were arguing nonstop, a group of panicked imperial diplomats rushed over and crowded outside their door, where they happened to run into Chi Le's mom, who had come rushing over too.
The two groups stared at each other in the doorway.
P.S. Lots of liberties taken with the setting. Straightforward shou x love-struck AI gong.
A fictional interstellar setting. The plot is entirely made up.
Theme: No one can stop fate when it comes.
