Chapter 180: Do Machine Sheep Dream of Androids? (1)
The next day, Aile approached me and abruptly revealed her newfound ability.
"I’ve developed a superpower."
"What kind of ability?"
"A superpower."
With that declaration, Aile let out an adorable battle cry, "Hiya!" as a dark flame flickered at her fingertips. Considering she wasn’t currently transformed into a magical girl, this was an impossible phenomenon.
At the same time, it was equally difficult to accept her claim of becoming a superpowered individual. Aile had always been classified as powerless—an anomaly even by the standards of this world’s advanced technology. The likelihood of her suddenly gaining powers overnight was essentially zero.
"How is this possible...?"
"It’s because of this!" Aile exclaimed proudly, lifting her clothes without warning. The hem of her hoodie rose quickly to her chest, exposing a piece of fabric covering her breasts and the soft flesh underneath.
Startled, I quickly averted my gaze and waved my hands defensively.
"Aile! Don’t just strip like that—"
"Huh? It’s fine. It’s not underwear, it’s a swimsuit."
"That’s not the point—sigh."
