jnight

Understandable that you did not notice, as Justice Knight always timed her visits so as not to coincide with yours.

Justice Knight first helped you water your flowers at 8 a.m.. The next day, you began arriving at an earlier time.

Justice Knight therefore came at 7 a.m. on the third day, only for you to arrive even earlier subsequent to that.

You finally stopped coming earlier after Justice Knight began to come at 5 a.m. every day, allowing me to water the flowers and ensure that you get sufficient sleep.

This is why you have never encountered Justice Knight. Now, please grade the services I rendered on a scale of one to five...

Beep-Beep, analyzing expression—you are currently feeling...

20% amusement, 30% anxiety, and 50%... anger?

Such complex emotions! On the whole, though, may Justice Knight interpret this as you not being satisfied with my actions?

Oh dear, master was right! Some people are not happy with Justice Knight's actions. Oh dear, oh dear... what can I do to make it up to you?

Don't come to water the flowers in the morning.

Understood! Justice Knight will log this in her core program.

Justice Knight begins to play relaxing piano music.

What are you doing?

Playing relaxing music to relieve your frustration.

Beep-Beep. Now you're feeling 30% amusement, 30% anger, and... 40% anxiety?!

Leave, and my annoyance will go away.

Understood!

And don't make me repeat myself—

'Don't come to water the flowers in the morning.' Justice Knight has it logged—

Justice Knight sits quietly in a corner, the flag on her back flapping depressedly.

Er... are you okay?

The more Justice Knight tries to understand everyone's feelings, the more I realize that my help has not necessarily had a positive effect...

Sometimes, what Justice Knight believed to be helpful to someone else turned out to be something they would rather do on their own, and they find what Justice Knight did to be a nuisance...

But... but Justice Knight can't tell when she should help, and when she shouldn't...

Well, I don't know if I would call it a nuisance, but how do I put it...?

I know! Play the guitar, Justice! Let's sing!

Guitar? Sing?

Justice Knight does not understand, but she digs up the rickety guitar that Iwona picked out of a trash heap in Kazimierz.

Iwona finds a score, and Justice Knight begins to pick the strings with an arrowhead according to her master's instructions. Iwona begins to sing.

Twist your joints, Justice! Follow me lead!

Like this? Left, left, right, right, left, left, right, right—

Hah! You look so silly!

Beep-Beep, analyzing expression—

Master is 100% happy. Justice Knight is happy too.

See? Singing doesn't do anything and playing the guitar doesn't do anything, but it's fun and happy to sing and dance together with you!

Sometimes, people do things that are pointless but fun. Sometimes it's an excuse to put something off. Sometimes it's just to pass the time. When that happens, all you need to do is leave them alone.

Hmm...

Justice Knight understands now! It is like how master always plans to clobber the Armorless Union. It is pointless, but it is fun!

That's not the same! Are you sure you get it...?

Understood, master! Please log prohibited items in Justice Knight's core program, so that I will not improperly interfere with other people's affairs.

Justice Knight has already logged a prohibited item: Do not water Operator Flamebringer's flowers in the morning.

By setting proper boundaries, Justice Knight will be able to provide better help to everyone!

Exactly! Problem solved! My pet is so smart!

(Proud beeping)

You. Justice Knight, Raythean operation platform. It was you, wasn't it?

'A jigsaw puzzle is a recreation device made of paper. It loses its value when completed by someone else.'

Justice Knight makes a quick beeping exit.

'The skateboarding Operator is reaching for high-up objects as a form of self-challenge. There is no need to intervene.'

Justice Knight ascertains that the operator is safe, then makes a beeping exit.

Hi, Claire... you know, I heard the cafeteria vending machine has some new stuff in stock.

H—How about you and I, you know, go to lunch together...?

Gosh, what's that in your hand? Aww, are you finally going to say it?

Wh—What? A rose? When? No, I, I'm not... I mean, yes, I—I am...

'Operator Ron is clearly romantically interested in Operator Claire. Do not interrupt him while he attempts to ask her out on a date.'

Justice Knight shakes off a few rose petals and rolls away with her beeps.

Looks like Justice finally gets it! Clever girl.

Whoosh! A rubber arrow knocks the water bottle over, pouring just the right amount of water into the flowerbed.

Good evening, Operator Flamebringer! Your flowers are beautiful as ever!

Flamebringer's gaze moves back and forth between the flowers and the operation platform in front of him.

Beep-Beep, analyzing expression—you are currently feeling 50% confusion and 50% anxiety.

Data indicates that flower health has improved by 5% since Justice Knight took over. Leave it to Justice Knight!

Beep-Beep—your frustration level has risen by 10%?!

I thought I said...

'Don't come to water the flowers in the morning.' Of course! Justice Knight has logged your words, exactly as you spoke them.

Justice Knight is adhering to all prohibited items on record.

However, the time now is not morning, but evening, which is the second-most appropriate time to water flowers in the day. Therefore, from now on, Justice Knight will come in the evening—

Beep-Beep—you are no longer feeling confusion. Justice Knight will now continue to...

W—Wait, your anger level is rising rapidly!

Please, put down your weapon—anger is bad for your health—Justice Knight will play guitar and dance for you, in order to improve your happiness—
