Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 14 - 0 - Speaking Japanese
Chapter 14: 014: Speaking Japanese
Yamato Nagisa from CSI (Cyborg Strategy Institute) and Yue Xuexia carried on their conversation in Japanese. Although Yue Xuexia is a lazy person, she has a talent for things that interest her. She enjoys reading and watching Japanese anime, and because of this, she has spent years self-learning the language and has a high level of proficiency. She can converse in Japanese with ease and can read katakana and hiragana with ease.
On the phone:
Yue Xuexia responded, "Hajimemashite, Yamato-san. Yue Xuexia-san desu. CSI Japan no kata wa, hyūmanoidorobotto no chūmon o uketa to iu kotodesu ka?"
Translation: [Nice to meet you, Mr. Yamato. This is Yue Xuexia speaking. If you are from CSI Japan, does that mean you have received my orders for the humanoid robots?]
{Hai, chūmon o sai kakunin suru tame ni denwa shimashita. Anata wa 6-dai no sentō robotto ga hoshikatta. 6-Dai no hausukīpingurobotto. Zenbu de 12-ko kaitaidesu yo ne?} asked Mr. Yamato.
Translation: [Yes, I called to recheck your orders. You wanted 6 combat robots. and 6 housekeeping robots. In total, you want to buy 12, is that correct?]
Yue Xuexia replied, "Hai, sore wa tadashīdeshou."
Translation: [Yes, that would be correct.]
{Korera no robotto wa nani ni tsukawa reru nodeshou ka?}
Translation: [Can we ask what these robots would be used for?]
Yue Xuexia, "Kojin-tekina shiyō. Watashi wa ningen no shiyōnin o yatou no ga sukide wa naku,-ka o seiketsu ni tamochi, hogo suru tame ni sorera o shiyō suru koto ni shimashita. Mondai de mou?"
Translation: [Personal use. I don't like hiring human servants and decided to use them to keep my house clean and protected. Is that a problem?]
{Mochiron! Mondai arimasen. Hausukīpingu to sentō no kihon-tekina puroguramu nomi o nyūryoku suru hitsuyō ga arimasu ka?}
Translation: [Of course! There are no problems. Should we only input basic programs for housekeeping and combat?]
"Hai, sorede jūbundesu. Nokori wa watashi ga sai puroguramu shimasu. Dekirudakehayaku andoroido o te ni iretaidesu. Shōnin no shiyō to shoyū-ken no saishū keiyaku o okutte kudasai. Kimitsu-sei repōto to dōyō ni. Mentenansu no tame ni mo renrakusen o okutte kudasai. Shinpaishinaidekudasai, watashi wa anata no kakaku settei ni ōjite subete o shiharaimasu," said Yue Xuexia.
Translation: [Yes, that would be enough. The rest would be reprogrammed by me. I would like to get the android as soon as possible. Send me the final contract for authorization, use, and ownership. As well as the confidentiality report. Do send me several contacts for maintenance as well. Don't worry, I shall pay everything according to your pricing.]
Mr. Yamato, on the other hand, was left dumbfounded. He had never encountered a client this laid-back in comparison to the others. She also stated that she would handle the programming herself and had no requirements regarding the robots' programmed commands. Although he does not believe what he is hearing, the client seems to be quite skilled in programming, and he can not tell if she is just blowing smoke signals or telling the truth.
Mr. Yamato asked, {Yue-san wa, jibun de korera no robotto no puroguramu o sakusei shite iru to iimashita. Watashitachi ga anata no kōdo no kopī o nyūshu shite, sore ga watashitachi ga motte iru saishin no andoroido to gokansei ga aru ka dō ka tameshite miru koto ga kanō ka dō ka tazunetai to omoimasu. Sore wa anata to issho ni kanōdeshou ka?}
Translation: [Miss Yue said that she would be creating a program for these robots on her own. I would like to ask if it is possible for us to get a copy of your codes and try to see if they would be compatible with the latest Android we have. Would that be possible for you?]
Yue Xuexia replied, "Kanō. Shikashi, watashi wa betsu no meirei kōdo no setto o sōshin shimasu. Saishin no robotto kinō ni motodzuita ekusasaizu setto. Watashi wa anata ni kantan'na sanpuru o ataeru koto ga dekiru dakedesu. Sore ijō no mono wa anata ni ageru koto ga dekimasen."
Translation: [Possible. But I would be sending a different set of instruction codes. An exercise set based on your latest robot's capabilities. I can only give you a simple sample. Anything beyond that, I can't give it to you.]
"Raibu bangumi o yaritaidesu. Komando PC o setsuzoku shite, rimōtokōdingu o okonaimasu. Kekka no raibusutorīmu o riarutaimu de hyōji suru hitsuyō ga arimasu. Watashi no kōdingu shiji no kōka o mitai nodeareba, kono hōhō de nomi watashiniha kōheidesu. Kōdo ga tōyō sa retakunainode, kore o jikkō shitai to omoimasu. Anata ga watashi no yōken ni dōi suru baai. Kono domein adoresu ni watashi ni renraku shite kudasai," said Yue Xuexia as she mentioned her personal domain address she made with her computer.
It was a special domain on the internet that is only accessible to her and to those she gave permission to.
Translation: [I want to do live programming. Connect a command PC and I shall do remote coding. You should show me a livestream of its result in real-time. Only in this way would it be fair to me if you wanted to see the effects of my coding instructions. I want to do this as I don't want my codes to be plagiarized. If you do agree to my requirements, contact me at this domain address.]
"Watashi wa anata ni kimeru jikan o ataemasu. Dōi suru baai wa, watashi ga anata ni ataeta domein adoresu o nyūryoku shite kudasai. Shomei suru tame ni hitsuyōna kuredensharu o sōshin suru dakede wanai baai. Shiharai-saki no ginkō kōza o fukumete kudasai. Saisho ni atamakin no hanbun o shiharai, tsugi ni robotto o okutte, nokori no okane o okurimasu. Saranaru mondai ni tsuite watashi ni messēji o okutte kudasai."
Translation: [I would give you an hour to decide. If you agree then enter the domain address I gave to you. If not just send the needed credentials to be signed. Include the bank account where I should send the payment. Half down payment first then send my robots and I would the rest of the money. Message me for further problems.]
{Ah! Omachi... ku-!!!.}
Translation: [Ah! Please... wa-!!!.]
Click!
Yue Xuexia ended the call abruptly. She stretched her arms and body as she was now fully awake.
[You are awake. Would you like to sign in for today, Miss Yue?]
"Okay~"
[Signed in successfully. Congratulations to Miss and you've received a Private Jet Airbus A380!]
Yue Xuexia said, "Nice. Now I have a private plane."
[It is worth 500 million dollars. In rmb it is 3.4 Billion private jet plane.]
"Can I sell it?" asked Yue Xuexia.
[No. You already have billions of dollars in savings in your account. Why do you need more money?]
"Isn't it more useful to have more? System, open the Novice Gift bag you gifted me. This should be the fourth one. I still have three more~"
[You can get more if you do some missions. Are you interested?]
"Are the missions easy?"
[It is something you can do if you wish to do so. I will show you the mission panel. Look at your phone.]
Following instructions, Yue Xuexia grabbed her phone, and, as if it had been compromised, an adorable cartoon avatar began to appear on her screen, moving constantly and displaying bubble speech over the adorable little sun.
[Eh? Where am I?]
[What is this place? What's a mobile phone?]
[Why did he throw me in here?]
Feeling amused, Yue Xuexia began prodding the adorable sun inside her phone, gently pressing it until it began to tremble on its own. This was sufficient to attract the cute sun's attention.
[Hey! Don't poke me, that's ticklish, mortal!]
"How cute~ System, what is its name?" asked Yue Xuexia.
[Just call it Taiyang.]
"I will call him Xiao Yang then!"
[....]
"Xiao Yang, nice to meet you. My name is Yue Xuexia. You can call me Xue'er or Xiao Xue."
[Who are you calling Xiao Yang!? I'm a thousand years old! You are rude, mortal!]
"Pfft! Fine. I will call you Yang-yeye (Grandpa Yang) then~"
[Who are you calling grandpa? Don't you know that I'm the strongest Immortal Monarch who controls the sun!? The Immortal Monarch Taiyang!]

"Okay, I understand, Yang-yeye~"
[Weird. You don't seem to feel fear towards cultivators. No this is the modern world. The lowest realm. The strongest cultivator here is only Peak Innateness. As for you... You are only a human. No qi at all, how are...]
In little Yang's head, the sound of a cold and overbearing voice can be heard.
{Shut your mouth. You are forbidden to mention cultivators in front of her. She is temporarily your host, and you are nothing but a sub-system of me. Show her the list of missions and rewards. The more missions she completed and as much as she signed in, the more power returned to us.}
The small sun on the phone stopped talking when he saw the immortal figure of the system behind Yue Xuexia's back. Yue Xuexia noticed the little sun quivering and turned around, but she saw nothing. Even if it was just a wisp of aura, that is indeed an Immortal Monarch.
"Are you alright, Yang-ye?"
[Un! I'm okay. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Tai Yangtian. You can call me Taiyang or whatever you want. I am your system's sub-system. You can contact me for anything you want to ask about your mission or even act as your assistant.]
"So you can materialize as a human. That's great!"
[...] Fortunately for him, Yue Xuexia has no interest in whatever secret her system is hiding and will consider it further if circumstances change. This little sun is so simple-minded that he did not even notice that he is displaying too many gaps and secrets that the system is trying to hide.
Yue Xuexia said, "Then I will depend on you, Grandpa Yang. Can you please show me the list of missions?"
"Don't call me Grandpa!!?"

When Yue Xuexia saw the missions on her phone screen, her face became ugly, and she complained to her system.
"You just don't want me to be lazy!"
[I told you. You can do it as long as you want to. I am not forcing you.]
"I hate you, System. Hmp!" said Yue Xuexia pouting but she wasn't really angry and let go of her phone.
Little Taiyang suggested, [It's only 12:30 pm. You can still do the 'eat the lunch on time' mission!]
Hmp!
She got out of bed and went to the bathroom to take a bath. Just as Yue Xuexia vanished from the bathroom, Taiyang materialized above Yue Xuexia's phone, but this time, it was a chibi man with golden red long hair, dressed in a white and gold robe, giving the appearance of an emperor's robe rather than a cultivator's.
"Main body. Why did you give the mission of donating money for this mortal? It's not like you don't know how much mortals love their money. We wouldn't get merits that would return our powers this way. I don't think this mortal is any different. Mortals die for money like how birds die for food. It's an inherent trait for mortals," said Little Taiyang.
The system replied in a deep, majestic voice that demonstrated his sovereignty trait as a strong individual only by itself. It is clear that he is someone like to an immortal in the myth.
[I don't think so. Wait for her to come back.]
A few minutes later, she emerged from the bathroom in nothing but a bathrobe, went to the cloakroom to change, and returned a few minutes later with soft white loose pants—which are perfect for summer—an off-the-shoulder black crop top, and black espadrilles as shoes. Little Taiyang had not yet materialized when she saw him.
She grabbed her phone and card keys.
"Quarter to one. I can still eat lunch before leaving," said Yue Xuexia as leaving her room and headed to the dining room to eat lunch.
As she headed downstairs, the guests from the Driving Institute recognized her.
"Hey! Look! Isn't that Miss Yue!?"
"She is so hot and gorgeous!"
"My Goddess!!"
Yue Xuexia recognized them as well. Well, more like the emblems on their uniforms.
"People from the driving school I've contacted?" she asked.
"Ah.? Yes, Goddess! I mean yes, Miss Yue. We are from the Speed Learning Institute. I came with two of my female colleagues. They would be the ones teaching your sisters to drive."
"Greetings to Miss Yue."
Yue Xuexia smiled and said, "Then I will leave them to you. After you feel like they have learned enough to get their own driving license, please help them avail of it. I would pay extra for the hard work."
"We will help your sisters with everything about driving until they get their licenses."
"Thank you ahead of time. Eat more snacks. I will get to the dining area to eat for a bit," said Yue Xuexia as she walked to eat lunch.
"She looks so cool and elegant."
"She is the most beautiful lady I've met in my life."
"My Goddess~"
Yue Xuexia was in the kitchen, reheating a plate of food her mother had left in the refrigerator. She carried the plate to the dining table and began to eat, all the while playing with her phone and transferring donations here and there. She did not hesitate to treat money like a number, and in a matter of clicks, she had donated 735 million to different charities.
"I did some missions. How many gift bags did I get!?" asked Yue Xuexia in the shaking little sun on her phone. She keeps poking and poking, treating little Taiyang as a small egg, but Little Taiyang was still rendered speechless by what he had witnessed. It was the system that answered Yue Xuexia.
[1 Master Gift Bag, 24 Intermediate Gift Bags, and 1 Novice Gift Bag. Do you wish to open it?]
"No. Let's save it for a bit. But I want to open the Novice Gift Bag you gave me for today," as soon as she said that, a white brocade bag appeared on the table in front of her and it started glowing as she asked it to be opened.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting the Blue Level Talent Scroll for Universal Language.]
After the flashing stopped, a blue scroll was silently placed on the table, and when Yue Xuexia opened it, she discovered that she had learned every language on the planet and could now read, write, and speak them all.
Yue Xuexia commented, "I like this skill. It's practical."
When Little Taiyang, who had at last returned to reality, finally materialized in front of Yue Xuexia, she could not resist grabbing Little Taiyang and kissing his cheeks, even though she thought he looked a little too silly in this form. However, as a mere speck of soul, he can only appear in this appearance without the other person seeing him.
"Kyaa~ so adorable. Is this how you look in human form? This mini Taiyang is so cute. I like it too much. Mwaa~" said Yue Xuexia.
Little Taiyang, who had been molested, now resembled a boiled crab. He was all red as he pushed back Yue Xuexia's attempt to kiss him for the third time, and even the all-quiet system was alerting her to his impersonation of a cough.
Cough. Ahem. Ahem.
