"Okay, okay, I'm serious now." Lai Jiayi coughed. The girl then looked at Bunnie.
"So...I don't know what to do with you. I already have Yaya…"
Bunnie flinched. The rabbit was silent for a few seconds before she murmured, "I-if I get my hacking skill back, I-i can help you, milady…"
Bunnie's soft and gentle voice sounded in the restaurant's bathroom. She sounded so pitiful, yet adorable at the same time.
Lai Jiayi looked at Yaya with a suppressed grin.
[What to do now? I can ask Zhao Yang to return Bunnie's hacking skill, but– ]
[Wait, quack. This bunny is suspicious, quack! What if the game company just wants to get more information from you, quack?] Yaya shook his head.
The duck glared at Bunnie again and harrumphed.
[Let me interrogate this bunny first, quack. After I make sure she is not dangerous, only then I'll let her join us, quack.]
Lai Jiayi went silent for a few seconds. The girl closed her eyes and nodded.
[Alright, sounds good. I'll wait outside. You go, talk to her.] Lai Jiayi let go of Bunnie and suddenly went out of the bathroom, startling the rabbit.
Bunnie stared at Lai Jiayi's back view with teary eyes.
'Ah, ah, don't leave me!!'
The rabbit was about to run after Lai Jiayi when Yaya instantly blocked her way. The duck floated in front of Bunnie as he put a grave expression.
"Hey, you, quack." Yaya pointed his wings at the rabbit.
Bunnie flinched. The blue bunny lowered her head and hid her face behind her ears. "Y-yes, senior?"
The word 'senior' somehow softened Yaya's expression. The duck rubbed his non-existent nose. He had a gloating smile on his face.
"Hm, senior, quack. I see, " Yaya murmured as his smile reached his ears.
'This sounds good– no! Don't be fooled!'
The duck then coughed before controlling his expression. He put on that grim expression again.
"I'm asking you, quack. Why are you here, quack? What's the purpose of the game company sending you here, quack?" Yaya squinted. The duck floated around the rabbit, acting like police interrogating a suspect.
Bunnie shrunk her body. The rabbit shook her head while answering in a weak voice. "I-i don't know anything...I'm just s-sent here...as a p-present…"
Bunnie gulped. She squeezed her eyes tight.
'Ahhh, I really don't know anything, ah! My job is only like the previous one, becoming the eye of the game company, and assisting the player throughout the game!'
Seeing Bunnie looked like she didn't know anything, Yaya silently sighed.
'Am I overthinking? But with Bunnie here, the game company can know what they don't know before. Bunnie will send them Jia's daily life video 24 hours a day!'
Yaya floated around Bunnie again, looking deep in thought when he suddenly paused. His eyes brightened, and a lamp bulb popped out above his head.
'Jia doesn't need another AI to assist her, so...why not we turn off Bunnie's system until we call her?'
Yaya rubbed his wings and grinned. He looked at Bunnie with a smirk.
"Hey, you know that Jia doesn't need you, right, quack? Except for your hacking skill, which is gone, quack."
Yaya's words stabbed Bunnie's heart. The rabbit lowered her head, and weakly nodded. "Y-yes, senior, I-i am aware of that…."
'This is why I don't know the reason behind the game company sending me to this girl, ah!! What's my use??'
"Mmm, then, you should go into a sleeping mode and just stay near Jia as a doll or something, quack." Yaya crossed his wings in front of his chest.
"We will wake you up when we need you, quack. Aside from that, you should just go to sleep. How is it, quack?" Yaya raised an eyebrow, asking Bunnie to 'comply' with his idea.
'If Bunnie enters the sleeping mode, she won't be able to monitor Jia! Jia will be safe from the game company's eyes.'
Yaya nodded, satisfied with his idea.
'Hehehe, and the company can't get suspicious of us since we have reasons to do this. We can just say that we don't need Bunnie. Thus, we put her in sleeping mode.'
Yaya's eyes lit up. The duck looked at Bunnie with confident eyes. "How is it, quack? If you disagree, Jia and I will never accept you, quack."
Yaya lifted his face. "You will be shunned, quack!"
'This rabbit is a gift, so whether we accept her or not, it depends on us.'
Once Bunnie heard what Yaya said, the rabbit's eyes dimmed down. She fidgeted with her four legs.
'What to do? I don't want to be abandoned. If this girl doesn't accept me, I'll be non-activated. I don't want that!'
Bunnie squeezed her eyes.
'It's better to enter sleeping mode than having to sleep for a long time and not knowing when I'll be activated again.'
The rabbit then took a deep breath. After contemplating things, she finally got an answer.
"A-alright, I agree. But, please, c-can you ask your master to persuade Zhao Yang to return my skill? T-that way, I can help you two…"
Bunnie looked at Yaya with teary eyes. The rabbit looked like a bullied wife here, and Yaya absolutely couldn't stand this sight.
The duck touched his bald head and sighed.
"Alright, quack. Jia will try, but we won't promise you anything, quack. Oh, and one more thing, quack."
Yaya raised his wing.
"You can't give Jia a barcode to mark her, quack. It means you can't track her, but we will give you access to her mind as well, quack."
"W-what do you mean– "
"It means you can talk to Jia through telepathy, but that's it, quack!"
