training into the next step.

“That should be enough for normal communication, next is transferring picture, I’ll have you learn how to send an image even if it’s only a vague image. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words. If you can communicate something that is hard to communicate with words only with a single picture, we would be able to communicate easily in the middle of a battle with pictures. As the first step of the training, go ahead and try to send me the image of myself that you want to see. I’ll change my clothes to the one you pick. If my appearance matches the image that you send, then it means that it’s a success. Alright then, go ahead.”

Just like he was told to, Akira imagined Alpha’s dress and tried sending it through telepathy. Alpha’s dress immediately changed. But the dress that she changed into was a really bad dress, it looked like a mismatch of cloth pieces. Looking at that, Akira’s face twitched a bit, then Alpha’s dress vanished immediately.

Akira panicked a bit, but Alpha who was naked at that time just giggled mischievously.

“That one was a failure. The image was not perfectly transferred. Or is it that you wanted to see me naked?”

“T-that’s not it!! Just put something on!!”

“Nope, this is a training. If you want me to put on something, you should work hard and properly send me the image.”

Akira immediately tried to communicate the image again in panic. And again, Alpha’s dress started to vaguely come together. But since Akira was in a panic, the accuracy of his message was worst. As such, Alpha’s dress immediately vanished again.

Akira’s trial and error continued. All kinds of strange dresses came together on Alpha before vanishing again and again. It was actually possible to prevent Alpha from being naked by imagining underwear on her, but Akira was so panicked that he did not even think of that method. Alpha knew it but she just kept it a secret.

Even after that, Akira just kept scoring failures after failures. At last, he was only able to make Alpha put on a single piece white dress without any decoration whatsoever. After that, he took a late dinner.

“That will be all for today. I think you did pretty well for your first day.”

“Even though I did not step outside this room at all, I’m feeling so tired right now...”

“In that case, you should just take a bath and sleep.”

“You’re right, I’ll do that...”

Although he was tired inside, it was not like he was as tired as yesterday. Akira took a nice long bath and then he just went to bed. He let his body taken by the sleepiness into dreamland. As for Alpha, unlike yesterday, she properly got an approval from Akira to stay beside him and keep staring at him.

Today, Alpha asked for Akira’s permission. But Akira who trusted Alpha just gave her his ‘yes’ without even knowing what she was asking.

Alpha would never lie. Akira’s training was indeed designed to increase his basic ability and survival rate. In order to be able to fully explore the ruin that Alpha asked, high level support would be indispensable to him. But that was not the only thing that he would need. For Akira who did not even know what kind of permission that he had given to Alpha at that time, he could not realize that fact.

Silavin: It is interesting to see how this will develop. Since this is sorta real life, that means that the approval stuff might have some caveats like how google does their TNC. Hmm... Just a thought.
