(4 Years Later.)
The conversation 4 years ago honestly surprised in so many different ways. I didn’t expect Minami to actually be on board with everything but I guess she’s always been supportive.
There was never a reason for to doubt it or to question anything about it. She still continued going to school for the duration of the last few years while I stayed ho.
I had to bring Mom with to the junkyard around here so that I could actually head inside though.
After awhile they didn’t seem to care anymore since I beca a regular. They were just shocked that a kid like was into this kind of stuff.
I didn’t bla any of them though since you don’t expect it in the slightest.
So here I am digging around in a junkyard right now for sothing that could be worth fixing up. 11 years old and I’m slowly working towards becoming an official junker.
Most of the stuff here is old TVs, microwaves, broken cybernetics people couldn’t use, and so car parts.
That was until I finally found sothing worth working on. A tiny little robot, it was actually quite adorable. So I picked it up with so additional parts around the junkyard before leaving.
I eventually made it back ho and put everything together in the garage. That was where I made my workshop for the ti being until I could afford sothing myself.
Realistically we do have the money for to get my own place together but it wouldn’t look good if so 11 year old kid opened up a shop.
I already get a lot of looks with the little homade shop I have.
It is frowned upon by anyone with common sense that a kid like is working a job like this. Even if I’m self employed. They don’t care since it doesn’t look good.
But this little guy here might be able to help out with so of this work. After about an hour I manage to get so of the old pieces of scrap attached properly.
Ba doop! The little screen powers on without any issues and I can see a tiny little face on it now. It was a small all grey little robot who I could probably hold in my arms.
All the tests seem to run perfectly for him too so he actually works.
"It said you have a voicebox but does it work?" I ask while staring at him.
"Y...Yes." it stutters at first before responding.
"Aweso! I’m going to have you help on these projects, but what should I na you?" I ask while scratching my chin.
I never had to na sothing before since we never had any pets. I also think that a pet is a lot different than a tiny little robot here.
Maybe I’ll call him MOE. Yeah, that works.
"Moe. That’s what your na will be." I say while giving him a pat on the head.
"Moe. Na acknowledged..." He manages to reply.
I’ll definitely have to help adjust his voice box to function better but this will do for the ti being. He’ll be a great addition to the shop since he can get to places that I can’t.
I will probably have to do so programming with him as well but I did study a bit of that over the years as well.
It won’t be that big of a deal.
With that I got back to work. There was a lot of stuff for to figure out in the shop today. I did find an old cyborg lying around as well but this one is going to be sold.
It is very rare to find such a thing in a junkyard to begin with so I’d rather take advantage of whatever I can. The parts alone are worth a fortune.
"Moe I need you to help with dismantling this cyborg." I say while pulling out so tools.
He didn’t respond but walks over to the cyborg and gets to work. I was just happy that I didn’t need to give it another command.
The sounds of my tools and the sounds of Moe’s little drill were all I could hear as we work on dismantling the cyborg. It wasn’t worth fixing and was worth taking apart instead.
The parts on these things will cover a lot of potential upgrades for this shop. I might even be able to get more tools that will be a bit better in terms of quality.
These ones have done well enough for the ti being but I’d like to see what better quality provides .
Creeeek. "Still working on stuff out here?" Minami speaks with a bit of a shocked look on her face.
"Always am." I respond while wiping my face.
"Who’s the little robot guy you have there?" She asks before walking in to look at it.
"Moe." I answer softly.
I watch for a mont as she takes a look at Moe, she even picks him up to examine him a bit more closely. She was definitely impressed by what I could do out here.
Even if I didn’t fully build Moe, I did give him better pieces from scrap I found.
He was my little helper in this shop and I couldn’t be happier to have him around. He could use so personality though.
"He’s adorable. You should make sothing like that for as well." Minami says with a smile.
"Yeah, sure." I reply back with a smile as well.
The years of adjusting to the cyborg mom wasn’t too bad but it still never felt completely normal. She basically just cleans the house and helps with making dinner for us.
It would never be like our real mom so it didn’t really make a difference at the end of the day.
This primarily just gave Minami a chance to go to school properly while I did what I needed to. Other than having her help at the junkyard from ti to ti.
