The move... was nearly instant.

Aside from the dresses, clothes, skirts, shoes, and a few jewelry that Yuuji bought for her, C.C had nothing else to her name. There was the white, straight jacket she used to wear, but she had never worn it again after receiving Yuuji's gifts.

Tatsuya and Satoru also didn't offer any resistance to C.C moving into their mansion, for several reasons.

First of all, both Tatsuya and Satoru didn't really claim ownership of the mansion and considered it belonging to Yuuji, even though Yuuji considered it "their" home.

After all, although it was the residence gifted by the Multiverse Group Chat as a "supporting item", the size and magnificence of the residence were determined by the participants' monetary richess. And simply looking at the sheer luxury of the mansion they received, it was obvious that Yuuji was a big reason why they could live in such a comfortable and amazing home.

Secondly, both Satoru and Tatsuya didn't really mind C.C's presence in the mansion. Although they rarely talked in reality, Satoru and Tatsuya already had deep knowledge about C.C's past, her character, and personality. They knew her well enough to not mind her too much even if she were to come and live with them.

And lastly, because they knew she'd be with Yuuji most of the time. Aside from school, Yuuji would spend his time with the Black Knights or relax in the mansion, and she'd most likely be with him then. And while he's in school, she could just enjoy the myriad of facilities there were in the mansion, or just simply relax in his room.

Yes... His room.

There were a number of empty rooms in the mansion, each furnished with top quality furniture and comfort. But, she insisted on being in the same room as Yuuji, to his surprise.

He was shocked by her declaration. But Satoru, Tatsuya, and Lelouch were not.

After all... with all the time he had spent with C.C the last few weeks and spending nights with her in her room, it wasn't that surprising that C.C would rather be in the same room as him. Moreover, being in the same room as him would most definitely be preferable for her than being in separate rooms when she's living under the same roof with two other guys.

It was the only natural outcome... But Yuuji felt worried.

She had already pushed his limits when she pressed her soft, squishy breasts against him when they slept together. And although they haven't shared a proper kiss yet, she has brushed her soft, luscious lips against neck accidentally when they slept.

He had a tough time sleeping that night, considering how "hard" he was. And in the end, he had to slip out and "calm" himself down several times that night until he could at least stay by her side without trying to hold back the urge to just make love to her and unleash all the pent up lust and affection he had felt towards her.

But now with her in his bed every night... he'd need a diamond will to resist her sexy body.

And speaking of which... C.C had just jumped onto his double king-sized bed with nothing other than his white shirt.

"Haaah~ If I knew you've been sleeping in such a wonderful bed, I would've moved in here earlier~"

She rolled deeper into the bed, causing her shirt to ride up her milky white thighs, and hugged a pillow she ran into in her roll.

She sniffed it a few times and began burying her face in it.

His smell... It's even more clear here than the ones he slept on in my bed...

She continued enjoying the soft, fluffy pillows and heavenly bed, lost in her own world, while Yuuji stared at her speechlessly from the side.

"... I knew I told you to make yourself at home, but I'm impressed how quickly you treat my room like it's yours."

"It's mine too now, technically? So don't worry about the small details."

"..."

Yuuji let out a sigh and grabbed his laptop and phone before climbing up the bed as well.

Then, he sat down, leaning his back against the top of his bed, placed his laptop on his lap, and began working.

This time, however, he wasn't robbing conglomerates off their money. But rather, he was working on making something that would help him with robbing conglomerates off their money.

An AI.

The idea struck him when he was working on the Stock Market Analytics system. That system, in of itself, was also an AI. But, it lacked the capability of actually making decisions on when to buy, sell, hold, etc. After all, it only predicts the state of the stock market, and not executing trades.

But, with the underlying principles he had created for the Stock Market Analytics, he could also use it to create an AI that could make those decisions and execute those trades.

And... he might as well go even further.

He wanted to make an AI that could help him not only with his trading business, but everything else as well. Just like those AIs in anime, manga, and stories. An AI that could control the entire digital world and give him access to everything connected to the internet.

Well... He won't purposefully go that far, but it would be nice to have something that could make his life easier and also protect himself, his family, and his friends from threats in the digital world.

But, to create such a thing, even his Programming Proficiency wouldn't suffice. Or at least, not if he didn't want to spend his entire time making it for a year straight.

So, he decided to browse the group chat for something that would help him. And he found it.

A "blueprint" for an extremely advanced Artificial Intelligence with immense calculation speed and the ability to comprehend and even elicit empathy; "Ai".

There was also a completed version of "Ai" in the Group Chat Store. But its price was 10 times the price of the "blueprint". It cost 20,000 GCP, which was indicative of just how powerful "Ai" was, and with it, Yuuji could immediately have the most powerful AI in existence.

But currently, Yuuji only had 6000 GCP, which was far from enough to buy it. Thus, he opted for the "blueprint"

The blueprint only cost 2000 GCP, which was expensive but still much more inexpensive when compared to its full cost. And the reason was because he'd need the ability and the means to create "Ai" after he bought the blueprint.

Normally, it'd be easier to simply wait and save up enough GCP to buy the completed version. But, Yuuji had "Programming Proficiency" and the MCGX Supercomputer". He has the ability and means to create it himself.

So, he decided to buy it.

Though... for some reason, the icon used to represent it is that of a petite, light blue haired young girl, around 15 or 16,with twin tails, an energetic smile, and a star on each eye. And her outfit... Rather than an AI, she looked more like a magical girl...

Yuuji even doubted for a moment if what he just bought was a "blueprint" for an extremely advanced AI, or a magical girl...

But, after seeing the "blueprint", he was sure that it was the former, since he had never seen anything remotely close to being this advanced in the world of technology that he knew...

Since then, a week has passed, and he was steadily making progress in creating his future assistant, "Ai".

"You're still working...?"

Yuuji looked to his side and saw C.C sitting beside him, still hugging the pillow he would normally sleep with in her embrace.

She stared at his screen blankly, not even trying to understand what it was. After all, he was extremely bad with technology, having lived most of her life without it. But, even though she didn't understand it, she could still tell that it wasn't something relaxing.

"It's not... work, per se. It's just a bit of something I'm making. A bit of a personal project."

"Hm... What are you making?"

"An AI."

"...AI?"

She looked at him confused, and Yuuji smiled softly towards her.

"It's artificial intelligence. I'm making it to help me with various things, including the stock tradings I often do."

"Hmmm. What else can it do?"

"Well, I plan on making it be able to do almost everything in the digital world."

"The digital world?"

"Yes. Anything that is connected to some sort of network."

"Hm... Does that mean you can also gain information from the Briatnnians about their formation and movement?"

C.C looked at him in shock when the realization dawned upon her. Although she had never been in a knightmare herself, she had heard bits and pieces about the battle from the discussions she was present for between Yuuji, Lelouch, and the other members of the Black Knights. And she knew about the IFF Transponder.

The "Identification Friend or Foe" system was a system used primarily by knightmare frames and ships. It broadcasted a signal, encoded on a specific channel, that transmits information regarding location, direction and unit type, allowing tacticians to actively "see" the battlefield in real time.

If Yuuji was to be capable of gaining such information without having to use the IFF Transponder of a captured enemy unit, and simply "see" the location, formation, and movement of their enemies, then they'll have unparalleled advantage in the battlefield...

Yuuji gave her a soft, sweet smile and began stroking her head.

"Yes. But that's not the main application of this AI I'm trying to create. The original reason why I wanted to create this AI is to allow me to spend more time with you, Karen, Lelouch, and everyone else while still making money. And second, it is to protect us from such threats."

"I see..."

C.C nodded softly and leaned her body against Yuuji, laying her head on his shoulder.

"Then make it quickly, so you don't have to spend all of your time playing with your laptop."

Yuuji smiled helplessly and nodded.

"Alright."

He leaned his head onto hers softly and continued working. And soon, he could hear her soft breathings on his shoulder and her body leaning even more onto him.

He looked to his side with a soft smile, and kissed the top of her head softly, eliciting a comfortable mewl from her, before resuming his work in silence.

Just then, a small clinging of notification resounded from his phone. He slowly grabbed his phone, trying his best not to wake C.C up, and saw a message for him.

Lelouch Lamperouge: "Yuuji, Karen seemed a bit upset today. Did you do something that bothered her?"

"..."
