Senku Ishigami ¹¹

Long before the petrification. Although they never met in person, Senku Ishigami and Dr. Xeno frequently exchanged emails about science. Xeno knew that this Japanese student was an extraordinary genius.

One day, a huge container arrived at the Ishigami house accompanied by a note.

"Project cancelled. The body is complete, but its artificial intelligence is too unstable. I thought you'd know what to do with it better than any laboratory."

Senku's eyes sparkled.

—Heh... Ten billion percent interesting.

Taiju, who lived with the Ishigami family, helped him open the container.

Inside rested a young woman of completely human appearance.

—Did X-Xeno send you a girl?!

Senku was already inspecting his neck with a screwdriver.

—Don't be an idiot. It's an android.

—But it looks like a person!

—Exactly. The human body is the most efficient machine for interacting with other humans.

He activated the hidden switch behind his neck.

A faint buzzing sound ran through his body. His eyes slowly opened.

"Boot sequence... Error. Language database unavailable.

—...Ah...

—...Mm...

—...Uh...

Taiju bowed his head.

—Doesn't he know how to speak?

—No. Its learning algorithm remains intact, but it lost its entire database.

Senku closed his toolbox with a smile.

—An algorithm capable of learning from scratch...

—This is really exciting.

—I'm going to show him how the world works.

The android tilted her head slightly.

I didn't know the words.

I didn't know any names.

I didn't even know the world.

But, without knowing it, she had just found the person who would change her entire existence.
