Resistance Camp.
Although the members of the Resistance Army seemed busy, they didn't actually have much to do. After all, their primary role was to prevent the Machine Lifeforms from expanding their occupied territory.
Occasionally, they would organize an operation to destroy the Machine Lifeforms' area servers and so on.
Normally, they would go about their own business, either maintaining weapons or repairing broken machinery.
2B and 9S had gone off on missions again. Their companions in the Resistance Army had asked them to find some parts, and they rushed off to find them without a second thought, perfectly adhering to their roles as errand-running tools.
A2 was out patrolling. She was someone who couldn't stay idle; after being on the run for so long, she hadn't yet grown accustomed to this sudden peace.
However, after patrolling for a while, she returned with a face full of confusion. According to her, for some reason, the Machine Lifeforms outside had all stopped moving, as if there were a system failure.
The Resistance Army members didn't know what was going on either, but Xia Yu was well aware. Once the AI returned, he could issue an announcement to inform all Androids that the war was over.
Time passed quickly. Seeing that most of the Resistance Army had found a place to rest, Xia Yu yawned and headed toward his own room.
Although the sky remained bright, nighttime according to the clock had arrived.
White peeked her head out from inside her tent, cautiously scanning her surroundings. The nearby Resistance Army members had all found places to rest, and those who weren't resting were busy with their own affairs, paying no attention to her.
Personally, she didn't mind if others knew about this, but for the sake of the Human Lord, she didn't make a big scene.
From the information left behind by humans, the Androids had discovered that most records deliberately avoided the topic of sex.
If she hadn't feared that the Human Lord would be repulsed, and the fact that they couldn't truly create life, White would have long ago pushed all the female YoRHa units directly into the Human Lord's room.
So, this time, White was not only acting for herself but also to see the Human Lord's attitude and how he would view such matters.
"Mm, let's go!"
After psyching herself up, White stepped out of the tent, only to happen upon the twins at the doorway shortly after.
"..."
"You two, what are you trying to do at the Lord's door?"
White asked, but seeing the hostility on the twins' faces, she could probably guess what was happening.
Tsk, one step too late.
The Twins were united in their stance against White's intentions. Clearly, they were the ones who met the Human Lord first, clearly... it seemed they had said this before.
Regardless, the twins would never back down now. They couldn't lose; no matter what, they had to be before the Commander!
"That..."
Seeing the determined look in the twins' eyes, White considered whether they should negotiate first. But just as she opened her mouth, the room door suddenly opened, and the man himself appeared.
"What are you three doing standing at the door?"
"..."
The systems of the three outside spun rapidly as they attempted to find a reasonable explanation, but before they could speak, Xia Yu spoke again.
"How about you all come in?"
At that moment, the three seemed to have reached an understanding. After glancing at each other, they strode into the room.
Forget it, the Human Lord is the most important. Being together wasn't entirely unacceptable; they just didn't know if the Human Lord could accept it.

The door closed.

The three were surprised to find that they had completely underestimated the Human Lord's physique; their weight didn't affect him at all, and the Human Lord even signaled that they could sit on him!
A long time later, they finally obtained precise data on the Human Lord's physique and even collected extremely precious DNA.
Knowing that humans were different from Androids and could get tired, the three cleaned up and sensibly left the room.
Xia Yu lay on the bed alone, contemplating the true meaning of life.
What is the meaning of life, and why did he cross over?
"Spare a smoke?"
Hearing the question by his ear, Xia Yu replied instinctively, "Sure."
But a moment later, he reacted instantly—who was speaking!
Turning to look, AI Xia Yu's figure was being projected by the metal cube, with a projected cigarette held between his fingers.
"...When did you get back?"
AI Xia Yu didn't speak. Instead, he took a drag of the cigarette and slowly exhaled a puff of projected smoke.
"Take a guess?"
Neil Xia Yu: o _ o
"Never mind. I just came back to let you know that I'm going to copy the Android manufacturing data from the Android network. Once the copying is done, I'll head straight back."
"I've already handled N2 and the Machine Lifeforms. By my calculations, she should be arriving soon. That's it, I'm out of here."
With that, AI Xia Yu's projection vanished instantly, as silent as when he appeared, leaving only a dumbfounded Neil Xia Yu behind.
"..."
Looking at the metal cube, Xia Yu took a deep breath, picked it up, threw it into a nearby box, and thoughtfully placed something heavy on top to pin it down.
Only after finishing did he remember AI Xia Yu's words. She's arriving soon? Who is she?
A moment later, Neil Xia Yu knew exactly who AI Xia Yu was talking about.
According to the report from White, a strange girl in red had arrived at the Resistance Camp and stated she had come at the master's summons.
As for who her master was, the girl in red explicitly stated it was the Human Lord.
Hearing this, Xia Yu instinctively thought of N2. Good heavens, the'she' AI Xia Yu mentioned was actually N2?
When Xia Yu went outside, N2, dressed in red, saw him. She immediately jogged up to him with a sweet smile and curtsied while holding her skirt.
"Hello, great master. I am N2."
"Ah, I already know that."
Feeling the gazes from all around, even Xia Yu felt a bit embarrassed, even though those gazes were just curious observations.
Among Androids, there were no models with such a young girl's physique, as it wasn't suitable for combat; thus, Androids all appeared as adult models.
"Lord? Who is she?"
Seeing that Xia Yu really did know this girl in red, White asked curiously. She was the Commander, yet even she didn't recognize an Android with this kind of model.
"You mean her?" Xia Yu glanced at White and suddenly beckoned her closer. Once White was near, he whispered into her ear.
"She is the network consciousness of the Machine Lifeforms—the existence that controls all of them. I've already brought her under control, so the Machine Lifeforms have been dealt with."
Hearing this, White's system plunged directly into chaos. This news was a bit too much for her to bear, but Xia Yu didn't stop and continued.
"So, the war between the Androids and the Machine Lifeforms is over. In a moment, issue an announcement in the name of the Lunar Human Council. A war of several thousand years has ended."
After speaking, Xia Yu left, leaving White alone to digest this massive amount of information.
A long time later, White finally cleared her head from the system chaos and let out a shocked exclamation.
"As expected of a human!"
