The Loveliest of Lies (Oumota)

"Everyone here has something to lose, even you"

Miu got up and stretched out, flaunting her body.

Kaito sighed and crossed his arms while Kiibo buried his face in his hands in an effort to hide his embarrassment.

"Soooooo Momota, what do you wanna talk about?" Miu asked, putting her hands on her hips and leaning forward, exposing her breasts to him.

Kaito ignored them and smiled at her.

"How are you holding up Iruma?"

"Huh?" Miu immediately wilted.

"I know you have Kiibo." Kaito nodded at the robot. "But I just wanted to make sure you were all right. Also, after seeing your motive video, I'm interested in your work. It's fascinating."

Miu fidgeted with her hands, clasping and unclasping them.

"Iruma-san, why don't we talk about my new upgrades?" Kiibo said gently.

"Upgrades?" Kaito said, genuinely interested.

"Right...Kiibo's upgrades." Miu squeaked.

"Oh. Please don't tell him about any of the silly ones." Kiibo cautioned, sounding flustered.

Miu blushed deeply.

"I've umm...been looking at Kiibo's body...and I think I can improve it. I mean...upgrade it and stuff."

"Can you give him rockets?" Kaito asked, thinking about his own dream to go to outer space.

"Puh. That would be easy." Miu retorted. "But he doesn't need flight capabilities at the moment, so I'm not going to install them."

"Iruma-san can actually do much more than that. Because she's amazing." Kiibo complimented her.

Miu blushed again, less severely than before.

"I know that!" She took a deep breath. "No, what I really want to upgrade is Kiibo's armour. Make him virtually indestructible. So that he can't get hurt by anything."

Kiibo nodded excitedly, staring at her with puppy-dog eyes.

Kaito huffed. They were both utterly ridiculous.

I can give Kiibo some pointers on romance later. But I have to learn about Iruma's work. I need something to distract me from Kokichi.

"So, could you make him bulletproof?"

"More than that. When I'm done with him, he'll be able to withstand the barrage of a fucking tank- no- a nuclear blast." Miu vowed, with great conviction.

Kaito took a step back.

She's so serious. I've never seen her act like this before...she must really care about Kiibo.

"I'm not that strong Momota-kun." Kiibo admitted. "If I try and pick up something that's more than 15kg, I get back pains. Aside from that, I can't run that far. I get over-exerted easily. Even electricity is a danger to me."

"Electricity?"

"If I get shocked, I could blow out if the voltage is high enough. But don't worry, as long as my memory chip doesn't get damaged, Miu can easily fix my body and bring me back online."

"Can we please talk about something else?" Miu requested shakily.

"Sure. What other upgrades have you been working on?" Kaito said.

"Well, I've upgraded Kiibo's eyes- they now double as flashlights and they have better cameras, and I gave him better recording equipment. It's the best I've been able to do with my lab. I'm going to need Kiibo's lab to do more interesting things to him."
