Nice to meet you. I am JUPITER-04, MD Type, version 1.42.984.
It is a pleasure to be of service.
That's a mouthful... Can I just call you 'Yupi'?
Master.
Are you often told that you misjudge social distance?
Starting today, you'll be raising a child for one month.
Child-rearing...!!
May I take childcare leave?
What the hell?!

Let me introduce you.
This is Io. You'll be taking care of her from now on.
Daaahhhh!!!
She is cute...
Io, I'll be taking good care of you from today on.
My name is Yupi.
Oh, so you're okay with that name.
...Can you really take care of a child?
How rude! It is true that this is outside my specialty, but I have prepared by asking my senior for advice.
...Senior?
See, like this. ChatGPT said...
First, get completely naked, slap your own butt with both hands, roll your eyes back and shout 'It's so utopian it's shocking! Sho-'
That's what happens when you ask it a weird question and get a nonsensical answer back, you idiot!!
Tell me the secrets to raising a baby. I want something easy, like a life hack.

Waaaaahhhh!!!
Oh my.
She might be hungry... Try making some milk and feeding her.
Understood.
It is ready!
Wait, wait, wait! No matter how I look at it, isn't that boiling?!
[Adjust to a temperature that does not feel hot when dripped on the wrist.]
That is what was written...
Yes. It is not hot.
Are your temperature sensors and AI even working, you piece of junk?!

After drinking some properly warmed milk, she calmed down.
Man, Io really is cute, though.
Agoo...
I wonder what her first words will be.
Ah...
Agoo...
Ooh... ah...
!
She looks like she's about to say something!!
Daa...
Ra...
Nn-o-ra...
You can do it, you can do it!
Just a little more!!

According to a book I read, this is how babies are supposed to cry.
PIGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
KEKKEKKEKOKKOKKO
PIGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAH
Also... according to a book I read, this is how babies are supposed to burp.
PSSSHHHHHH!!!!
BUBOGWERROGEBUUUUUN

Oh yeah, Yupi, could you try singing a lullaby?
A song... you say?
Yeah, yeah. I'll send you the sheet music data.
Download complete. I will now sing.
Cradle Song
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Wait, wait, wait, wait! What is this overly aggressive noise music?!
Well, it is because you were cheap and installed a low-grade model of software in me, so I do not have a singing function.
Ahhh... I guess I didn't get any of the optional features...
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
It is said that a moderate volume of noise has a soporific effect.
Well, all's well that ends well.

According to a book I read, babies are calmed by a gentle, red light.
Apparently, it's because it resembles the inside of their mother's womb.
Also, they feel safe when they hear a sound like the quickening in the womb,
and dolls are also said to have a calming effect.
Taking all of that into account, I have created the ultimate sleep-inducing doll!
That's terrifying!!!
Page 8
By the way, Master, why don't you try playing with Io as well?
Huh? Me?
Giggle
Giggle
Umm... well, first I'll try holding her...
...No, that's impossible with this body.
Umm, I can't play 'airplane' with her either...
Ummmmmm...
---And this is the solution you came up with?
I'm a toy...
I'm a ball-shaped toy...
Giggle giggle

Today, I shall read a book to Io.
Agoo~!!
Jupiter. Jupiter is one of the largest planets, located in the outer solar system. Its diameter is approximately 11 times that of Earth, and its mass is approximately 318 times that of Earth. Jupiter is also one of the four gas giants in the solar system, composed mainly of hydrogen and helium. Jupiter's atmosphere is characterized by striped patterns observed around its equator. These patterns are formed by atmospheric circulation caused by Jupiter's rotation, and...
Is that an encyclopedia?
Pick a book that actually has pictures!
...And so, I have borrowed a book with pictures from your luggage, Master.
Agoo~!!
Eek! W-What are you doing, Haruto! I-I'm sorry, but I just can't help it... I want you, Yuina...! Gch Aah! No... not here... touch touch touch touch
Wait, wait, hold on, seriously, wait?!
Page 10
Peek-a...
Boo!!
Agoo-ah!!
No, no, that's just scary!!
Hee hee... When I'm with Io, a month goes by in the blink of an eye.
Yeah, you're right...
Tomorrow makes one month.
Page 11
?!
A power outage?!
What happened...?!
Could it be...?
Page 13
---One Month Ago
Jupiter Exploration Ship JUPITER
Critically damaged due to collision with an asteroid.
Warning---Further travel is hazardous...
Dammit!! We were so close to reaching Jupiter...!!
What is this...?!
It seems we've had the bad luck of wandering into a high-density sector of the asteroid belt!!
What did you say...?!
At this rate...
We'll be lost in space...!!
Page 14
Attention, all crew!!
Evacuate this sector in the escape pods!! I will pilot this ship to Jupiter alone!!
Wha...
Captain, what about you?! You have to go with your young daughter...
No!!
The escape pods have a strict one-person capacity!
More occupants means more oxygen consumed, which shortens the time limit.
Besides... as captain, it is my duty to get this ship to its destination.
Now hurry!! Everyone, get to the escape pods!
We'll rendezvous in one month!!
This ship will also head to the rendezvous point, but I'm calling for rescue as well, just in case!
As long as one of us can salvage you, that's all that matters.
Page 15
It's okay... The escape pod is equipped with 'her'.
Jupiter Arm: Possesses both precise movement and overwhelming power.
I'll leave things to 'her' while I provide support remotely with a small terminal.
I'll try to act as normal as possible, so as not to worry my daughter...
