[1bitHeart] The closed world of you and me

When I was done with the things I planned to do, there was nothing to do even if I stayed on the floor that should be the 'management room' in the future. I checked the door and it was almost noon, so I went to buy a lunch box nearby. Back in the apartment.

As soon as he returned to the apartment, he saw Nanessi sitting blankly on the floor of the living room, staring forward with a little erratic eyes. He looked at the place where Nanessi was staring, and found that it was a TV—but the TV was not turned on. He shouldn't be watching a TV show, so he couldn't help but ask in a puzzled voice:

"Naisi, what's the matter? You'll catch a cold if you just sit on the floor like this."

"Wow! Men, Brother Men!! Where did you go!? I woke up and found no one in the room, I was shocked!"

Hearing the sound of the door, Nanessi sat up suddenly as if bouncing, rushed over with a face full of surprise, and said in a flustered but reassuring tone.

"Oh, did I forget to leave a message? Because of some work, I have to go out in the morning to deal with it. By the way, this is a lunch box at noon. I bought it on the way back."

Greeting Nanaixi who almost flew over, it was rare to receive such a warm welcome. The door couldn't help but feel a little confused, but also a little happy, and patted Nanaixi's head to comfort him—probably because his appearance has changed a lot over the years Yes, occasionally he would forget that Nanessi was his past self, and he really treated him like a younger brother who was much younger than himself──, he handed the bento over as he spoke.

"Work? Does Brother Men have a job?"

Standing up honestly to take the lunch box, Naixi opened her eyes wide in surprise, and asked in amazement.

"Of course, idiot, otherwise where do you think the money for our pizza order comes from?"

Seeing Nanessi's stupid look that hadn't thought about such a thing at all, the door couldn't help laughing, tapped Nanessi's head lightly, and said a little funny.

"Living expenses from parents!"

To the door's question, Nanessi immediately answered without thinking, and let the door, who had no intention of hearing such an answer, knock on Nanessi's head without thinking, smiling. Answer the correct answer:

"It's the salary from work, Nanessi. Didn't I send all the money my parents gave me to you?"

Although it was just like what Nanessi said, even though he tried his best to refuse at the beginning, the past him, that is, Nanessi's parents, still insisted on giving him the living expenses during the period when his son entrusted him──but he didn't He planned to use it, and transferred all of it to Nanessi. The living expenses during this period were all paid with the salary of the job he had before he returned to the past.

"Ah! That's it! I didn't use any money during this period, so I didn't notice it."

Seeing the door with a friendly smile, even though she was relatively insensitive to the surrounding views, Naixi was very sensible and did not argue. Instead, she clicked on the e-wallet interface to check the numbers on her account. After confirming, she suddenly realized As he spoke, he nodded in agreement with what the door said.

Ah... this is 'me'──

Thinking of how others would look at the past self, the heart of the door is full of subtle emotions, although it seems too late to change now.

But, speaking of work—

"By the way, by the way, because of work, I should go out every day because of this. The time I stay at home depends on the situation, but it shouldn't be as long as this time...Naishi, you are alone. Question?"

It is only now that I realize that since I have focused all my attention on the management procedures during this period, I probably haven’t told Nanessi about this matter, so I told Nanessi about it by the way, although I don’t think that I was alone in the past. There will be problems when people stay around──but judging from Naixi's performance just now, he felt that it would be better not to be so at ease, so he confirmed to Naixi.

"Uh, it's probably okay, um, it's just that the sudden disappearance of people today scares me, and I'm a little too flustered──But, are you going to go out to work later? What's the period of time?"

Blinking his eyes, although he was a little uncertain, he hesitated for a while before nodding with certainty. Nanessi probably sensed from the question that the door was uneasy about him being alone at home, so he smiled embarrassedly and explained a little One sentence, with a puzzled expression on his face, he directly asked another question that caught his attention.

"During this period of time, there is also work, but it is only done at home--the program that some people have worked out earlier is that. After this is completed, the basic work is the daily maintenance and management of the operation of the monitoring program... The program is installed in other The place is running, so it’s different from before, you can’t go out.”

Probably also predicted that Nanessi would have questions, and it was not a question that could not be answered, so the door answered, but he had already had the experience of this job, and he probably guessed what the daily work situation would be like, so he put a smile on his face. A little bit of a wry smile──To be honest, that wasn't what I expected at all.

"Will the work in the future be very hard? My brother looks very tired."

Noticing that the door looked a little unmotivated, Nanessi asked, looking sideways at his expression.

"The work part is okay, it's just interpersonal... The occasional 'suggestions' from the upper-level people will be more troublesome, but there is no way, who taught me that I have to receive their salary."

At first, I wanted to complain about the interpersonal troubles among my colleagues, but halfway through the conversation, I remembered that it might be the case seven years later, but now he cheated to get this job in a short time, and probably won't have the opportunity to let people talk to him Working together──in order to ensure the purity of the experiment, if there is him, he will let it go without──so he changed his words.

In fact, if it is possible, the door would also like to keep the existence of the 'upper level' empty, but unfortunately, if the use of the 'management procedures' is to be implemented without revealing any flaws, the existence of the upper level---that is, the government is still necessary, besides The ability he is currently relying on is not omnipotent, at least it is impossible to control the government with a minimum of memory intervention, so he can only endure it, and try his best to maintain the operation without being excessively interfered by those people.

"Hey...is that so? It's really complicated, my lord's society."

Restricted by his experience, Naixi, who was half understanding, looked at the door in a daze, as if unable to comprehend his mood, and sighed without emotion.

The door didn't intend to go deep into the conversation, so he changed the subject and said:

"Well, there's nothing you can do about it. Anyway, so far, you're hungry, so let's eat the bento quickly, and the food will be cold."

No matter how much technology advances, the contents of the bento boxes sold by the convenience store seem to have not been affected in any way. Whether it is now or eight years later, the contents will be the same-rice, a large piece of meat as the main meal, and several different kinds of meat. A small amount of side dishes, of course, the luxury of the content is always related to the price rather than time, which is the same no matter what time it is.

The bento I bought just happened to pass by a store that sold it. The price is not very cheap, but it is not very expensive. He didn’t even specify the contents, but just asked the store to match the dishes as he wished—anyway, although he and Nanaisi They are all fond of pizza, but they are not the kind of picky eaters. Basically, they can eat anything. When they opened the door, they found that there was only one side dish left in the bento shop. The schnitzel is coated with a lot of flour so the contents cannot be seen, and the side dish compartments that should have different dishes in the three compartments are all the same dish, that is, scrambled eggs.

Well, it's okay, three-compartment scrambled eggs are pretty good──huh?No salt added?

I was a little surprised, but I didn't care much about it. I took a bite and ate it. I was stunned when I found that there was no salty taste. I tried to eat something that felt like fried chicken cutlet or a similar main meal. I found that I probably wanted to make up for it. I forgot to add salt to the egg, and the fried meat is very salty. If the egg can barely be said to be "taste the original taste of the ingredients", it is about twice as salty as the normal fried meat. It is almost the same as the original meat. The taste is all overwhelmed.

Well, the next time I buy a bento box, I should definitely change to another one...

After tasting the side dishes and the main course, Men couldn't help but think so from the bottom of his heart.

It’s just that it’s probably because I haven’t eaten white rice for a long time, even though the taste of the side dishes is a little bit far from “delicious”, but with the soft and hard, fragrant white rice (probably the best part in the whole lunch box), The door is still in a good mood and ran out of bento.

White rice is indeed a basic staple food for all matches, um.The versatility of such an outstanding effect is a little touching.

That's what the door thinks──Although the next time I order takeout, I will probably order pizza involuntarily.

"Wow──white rice is really good! No matter what kind of dish tastes like, you can eat it with white rice!"

Probably feeling the same way, Nanessi sighed in an emotional tone.

"Haha, it's not bad to eat plain rice instead of pizza once in a while."

Looking at Nanessi like this, Mon said with a smile, and put down his chopsticks.But Nanaixi probably misunderstood that he had to eat the same bento for dinner, and immediately made a strong claim:

"But it's still better to have pizza—you should order pizza for takeaway dinner, and just eat rice once in a while!"

"Hey, generally speaking, shouldn't it be the other way around?"

Even though he had the same opinion, seeing Nanessi's nervous and quick statement, Gate corrected him with a teasing smile.

"But Brother Men always orders pizza, so he thinks so too, right?"

But should it be said that he has an unusual enthusiasm for pizza? This time, Nanaisi responded very sensitively and quickly, and said in a firm tone.

"There's no way to refute it, but as far as nutrition is concerned, you should eat something else occasionally, otherwise your body will be easily damaged if you can't see it."

The door smiled, but he didn't deliberately refute——At Nanessi's age, if he had the opportunity, even if he was asked to eat only pizza for three meals a day, he would never get tired of it, but the consequences are now deeper than when he was young—— His body is indeed weaker and less durable than those of his peers, so as someone who has experienced it, even though he knew that he might not be able to understand it well, he still advised his past self.

"But if I eat the bento from this shop all the time, I think some part of my body will be damaged."

Probably because of some complaints about the things other than rice in the bento, Nanessi asserted with a smile on her face and in a tone that was too cheerful to be complaining.

"Ah, that's right. But it's not just a choice between pizza and bento from this restaurant."

The door deeply sympathized with what Nanessi said, but he also noticed that Nanessi had misunderstood the key point, so he corrected it casually.

"Well, let's not mention that for now. By the way, brother, I forgot to ask you all the time. What was the program with a huge structure that you made before? It feels like using a self-created programming language. Quite unusual!"

Probably because of a child's unique habit of disliking listening to elders preaching, or because he simply doesn't want to be forced to correct his love for pizza, Nanaixi ended the previous topic a little bluntly, and continued to ask in a deliberate and clear tone. Another problem.

"Ah, this question? I'm still wondering when you will ask, it's later than expected."

To Nanessi's question, Men just replied with a calm smile, not too surprised, but said with a little emotion.Then he had no intention of showing off, so he replied directly:

"It's the 'administrative program' Oh, Nanessi should have read the news in his spare time, have you noticed similar reports?"

"Eh!? It's that 'management program' that I was arguing about whether to implement or not on various TV programs some time ago!? I thought it was already done before I started discussing whether to implement it or not!!"

Probably because she didn't expect this answer at all, Nanessi's reaction was very intense, and she asked loudly in a very surprised tone, even her voice changed slightly.

"Ah, that seems to be a hype that it can be operated as soon as it is ready, and it is used to save the time between promotion and implementation──In other words, there is a proposal of 'predetermined to use the management program' , but it may take some time for the public to accept this proposal, so let the public know what kind of thing will be implemented before the "management program" is really done. Before it started running, you already know all kinds of information through the news media, don’t you?”

Since the original process was similar seven years later, the door explained smoothly, and was not surprised by Nanessi's surprise—if he hadn't been the producer and host of the project in the "upper proposal" (although it should have been The industry's well-known mentor is), maybe he doesn't know the key.

"So, so, that 'hypervisor' that is said to be ultra-reliable and almost perfect in security was originally made by Brother Men!? That's amazing!!"

At this time, Nainaxi seemed to suddenly discover that the acquaintance around him was a celebrity who had only heard rumors. He was very excited and kept talking, looking at the door with sparkling eyes, as if he had suddenly discovered some amazing new side of him. .

It's really embarrassing.

Although the door is familiar with his own nature, and more or less guessed how Naixi would react when he knew about this matter without knowing that he was himself, he still felt a little embarrassed, but it was not the first time Hearing my past self's almost non-standard praise for others, I got used to it a little bit, just smiled, and responded in a normal tone without losing my composure:

"Yeah, in fact, it's not that great in terms of functionality. The high security is purely due to the blessing of the 'self-created programming language' that I haven't taught anyone yet. If you really want to say it, you don't think so." That's amazing."

"That's not the case! If the program is made in such a complicated way, even I can understand why it can be so confidently said on TV that 'safety is as high as [-]%'! It is absolutely unsolvable, it is amazing!"

But Nanessi spoke with undiminished enthusiasm, without cooling down at all because of this, and excitedly refuted Men's modest words in a longing tone.

no!It seems that we have to change the subject quickly!

Instinctively going on like this would be endless, and no matter what, I didn't intend to show the smirk that was exaggerated in front of my past self, so the door turned away decisively:

"Okay, no matter how much you praise me, it won't do you any good. But I won't have a chance to need your help in the future. How about thinking about how to spend your free time? For example, looking for information on the Internet to learn something? Although It’s recuperating at home, but doing nothing isn’t very good in that sense.”

"Ah, that's it! That's true! I will try my best to find something to do at home, so that my time will not be wasted!"

Nanessi did not continue to praise regardless, but naturally turned her attention away and spoke energetically.

"Okay—give me the bento box, I'll take it and throw it away, and you can think about it."

Satisfied with achieving his goal, Mon said so, ending the conversation.
