[00:01] Mina
    Mamoru, are you listening?
[00:03] Mamoru
    Yes.
[00:04] Mina
    This is called a calendar.
[00:06] Mamoru
    Calendar.
[00:08] Mina
    It is a chart where dates and
    such are listed, month by month.
[00:12] Mina
    This is today's square.
[00:14] Mina
    We will enter Takuma-sama's
    health status here.
[00:17] Mina
    We will assume for now that his
    body temperature is 36˚C.
[00:21] Mamoru
    Why?
[00:22] Mina
    It is for argument's sake,
    so there is no reason.
[00:25] Mina
    We will then assume it is 37.5˚C the next day.
[00:28] Mina
    And that, the following day,
    it is also around 37.5˚C.
[00:32] Mamoru
    Why? So strange.
[00:34] Mina
    What about it is strange?
[00:36] Mamoru
    Next day is tomorrow. It's strange to
    know what his temperature will be tomorrow.
[00:41] Mina
    It is hypothetical.
    We do not actually know.
[00:44] Mina
    I am teaching you what you should
    consider in a case like this.
[00:49] Mamoru
    Oh. Thank you.
[00:52] Mina
    He has a slight ongoing fever.
[00:54] Mina
    In this case, you should watch for
    signs Takuma-sama has caught a cold.
[01:01] Mina
    On to the next lesson.
[01:05] Mamoru
    I know this. It's water.
[01:07] Mina
    It is all water, but these are
    each in a different state.
[01:11] Mina
    Place your right hand in the water in
    the center, and tell me how it feels.
[01:18] Mamoru
    I heard a splash.
[01:20] Mina
    Please pay attention to
    non-audio data, as well.
[01:23] Mina
    Next, please place your hand
    in the glass on the left.
[01:26] Mamoru
    Doing it.
[01:30] Mina
    How does it feel?
[01:33] Mina
    It is all right if you
    cannot put it into words.
[01:35] Mina
    That is the sensation of
    "cold." Please remember it.
[01:40] Mamoru
    Cold!
[01:42] Mina
    Finally, please place your
    hand in the mug on the right.
[01:46] Mamoru
    Okay.
[01:54] Mina
    Was it too hot? I apologize.
[02:01] Mina
    36.2˚C. That is approximately
    Takuma-sama's average body temperature.
[02:07] Mina
    Now, the next lesson.
[02:08] Mina
    You will learn the most important
    temperature for you to know.
[02:13] Mina
    Put your right hand in the glass.
[02:15] Mina
    In the glass. In the glass.
[02:18] Mina
    Not the pot.
[02:19] Mina
    Please do not look at the pot.
[02:21] Mamoru
    Glass...
[02:24] Mina
    This hot water is 71˚C.
[02:28] Mamoru
    It tingles.
[02:30] Mina
    It is a dangerous temperature,
    one which will scald humans.
[02:32] Mina
    Please remember it.
[02:34] Mamoru
    Scald?
[02:35] Mina
    It means when skin tissue
    is destroyed by heat.
[02:38] Mina
    At 45˚C, scalding occurs in one
    hour, and at 70˚C, in one second.
[02:43] Mina
    Please take care that Takuma-sama
    is not scalded or burned.
[02:47] Mina
    Your sensors are also there
    to detect hazardous materials.
[02:51] Mina
    First, you will fully master
    body temperature,
[02:54] Mina
    and then you can try using your
    camera's thermal functionality.
[02:58] Mamoru
    Okay. I can touch hot water?
[03:01] Mina
    Afterward, please put
    your hand in the glass.
SIGN    #08 Looks Like My Wife Has a Will of Her Own
[04:38] Takuma
    I'm home.
[04:41] Mina
    Welcome home.
[04:43] Mina
    You are early today.
[04:45] Takuma
    Yeah.
[04:46] Mamoru
    Takuma!
[04:47] Mamoru
    Takuma, I'm home!
[04:49] Takuma
    Mamoru-kun, the person already
    home says "Welcome home."
[04:53] Mamoru
    Welcome home.
[04:56] Takuma
    Yep, here I am.
[04:58] Mamoru
    36.5˚C.
[05:00] Takuma
    Huh?
[05:02] Mina
    Well done, Mamoru.
[05:04] Mamoru
    Hot water, hot water!
[05:06] Mina
    Go ahead.
[05:19] Takuma
    Hot!
[05:22] Mamoru
    Oh! Takuma,
    watch out for scalding.
[05:26] Takuma
    Right back at you.
[05:28] Mina
    He can now measure body temperature
    with an error margin of 0.2 degrees.
[05:32] Takuma
    In just one day? That's awesome.
[05:36] Mamoru
    Awesome?
[05:37] Mina
    It was unexpected that you would
    master your features to this extent.
[05:42] Mina
    But it only makes you
    equivalent to a thermometer.
[05:47] Mina
    Depending on your effort,
[05:48] Mina
    you should be able to perform close
    to your inherent specifications.
[05:52] Takuma
    Don't push him too hard.
[05:54] Takuma
    I don't think there's any need to
    force him to be how he was originally.
[05:58] Mina
    Why is that?
[05:59] Mina
    At this point, he is
    a roly-poly thermometer.
[06:02] Mamoru
    What is "roly-poly"?
[06:04] Mina
    It is a figure of speech, indicating
    a round thing that rolls.
[06:04] Mamoru
    Roly, poly, roly, poly, roly, poly.
[06:08] Takuma
    M-Mamoru-kun is
    awesome the way he is.
[06:11] Takuma
    I'd rather you not be in
    any rush with his lessons.
[06:18] Mina
    I should conduct Mamoru's lessons
    within a moderate scope?
[06:23] Takuma
    Y-Yeah.
[06:25] Mina
    I will, then.
[06:28] Takuma
    I-If he keeps developing at this rate,
[06:30] Takuma
    I wonder if he'll be incredible
    in less than a month's time.
[06:35] Mina
    I think it would take a half hour for a
    reformat to make him still more incredible.
[06:39] Mamoru
    Incredible?
[06:40] Mina
    Yes.
[06:44] Takuma
    Uh, what features does he have besides
    measuring temperature with his right hand?
[06:50] Mina
    A range of them.
[06:52] Mina
    He is equipped with thermographic
    and ultrasound features.
[06:56] Mina
    What a Mimamorius excels at most is
    not all these sensors themselves,
[06:59] Mina
    but the ability to constantly
    document its master's data,
[07:01] Mina
    predict a range of health risks,
[07:03] Mina
    and suggest appropriate measures to take.
[07:05] Takuma
    She's talking so fast.
[07:07] Takuma
    Health risks...
[07:09] Takuma
    You know, there was one time when Mamoru-kun
    was worried I was feeling stressed.
[07:15] Mima
    Mamoru understood stress when he
    had only just started learning?
[07:20] Takuma
    Y-Yeah.
[07:22] Mina
    Such a diagnosis can only be reached
[07:24] Mina
    by combining data gleaned from
    the use of multiple sensors.
[07:31] Senju
    While our company's robots have
    internal personality programs,
[07:34] Senju
    at a deeper level is a program having to
    do with their owner's health and safety.
[07:40] Senju
    It is similar to what are known
    as the Three Laws of Robotics,
[07:43] Senju
    and it aids and restricts
    the personality program
[07:46] Senju
    in order to ensure the
    master's health and safety.
[07:50] Takuma
    I see. That makes sense.
[07:53] Takuma
    Thank you very much.
[07:54] Senju
    You are welcome.
[07:56] Senju
    If anything else comes up,
    please contact us.
[07:59] Senju
    I will sign off now.
SIGN    Call ended
[08:01] Takuma
    Mamoru-kun, you're quite
    the dynamo after all.
[08:04] Mamoru
    Dynamo?
[08:06] Takuma
    Right, Mina-chan?
[08:10] Takuma
    Mina-chan?
[08:17] Mina
    Mamoru, what do you
     think of this situation?
[08:20] Mamoru
    Very dangerous.
    I'll call an ambulance.
[08:23] Mina
    That is right.
[08:24] Mina
    Takuma-sama, do you understand?
[08:27] Mina
    He is fully aware that his master's
    safety is being threatened.
[08:31] Takuma
    Okay, sure.
[08:32] Mamoru
    I'll call an ambulance.
[08:34] Mina
    He has not been injured yet, so it would
    be most appropriate to notify the police.
[08:39] Takuma
    Mina-chan, he really will make the call.
[08:43] Mina
    The reason Mamoru can use his temperature
    feature after only a little teaching
[08:46] Mina
    is because his safety-related
    program aided him.
[08:51] Mina
    I would infer the reason he can
    only communicate with me
[08:54] Mina
    via voice rather than wirelessly
[08:55] Mina
    is that it is not directly
    related to your safety.
[09:00] Takuma
    That tracks.
[09:03] Mina
    My name suggestion was inappropriate.
[09:06] Mina
    He is not an utterly incapable egg.
[09:09] Mina
    One could say he is
    superior to a thermometer.
[09:12] Mina
    No thermometer can show
    concern for its owner.
[09:16] Takuma
    T-True.
[09:18] Takuma
    What's going on with Mina-chan's
    safety-related program?
[09:23] Takuma
    Well, I'd think Mamoru-kun was awesome
    even if he couldn't do anything.
[09:29] Mamoru
    Awesome? Mamoru, awesome?
[09:31] Takuma
    You're awesome, all right.
[09:34] Takuma
    Oh, does that feel good?
[09:37] Takuma
    Like this?
[09:43] Takuma
    Mamoru-kun used the internet to call
    an ambulance, so I sent it back.
[09:54] Mina
    Takuma-sama, please spread
    this out on the very bottom.
[09:57] Mina
    It is a charging sheet.
[10:00] Mina
    It will supply electricity as long
    as some part of my body is above it.
[10:03] Takuma
    Wireless charging, huh? Nice.
[10:11] Takuma
    How's that?
[10:12] Mina
    I am receiving electricity without issue.
[10:14] Takuma
    Okay. Night.
[10:17] Mina
    Good night.
[10:46] Takuma
    Ow.
[10:52] Mina
    Mamoru, return to your charging stand.
[10:55] Mamoru
    Sleep in the futon with Mina and Takuma.
[10:58] Mina
    No.
[10:59] Mamoru
    Why not?! Why not?!
[11:01] Mina
    It makes Takuma-sama feel
    better to cuddle with me.
[11:05] Mina
    You must not hinder that.
[11:08] Mamoru
    Takuma, feel better without cuddling!
[11:11] Mamoru
    You can do it!
[11:12] Mina
    No. Now go away.
[11:12] Mamoru
    Takuma! Takuma!
[11:14] Takuma
    Um, hey.
[11:16] Takuma
    How about we do this?
[11:42] Takuma
    Time to eat.
[11:44] Mamoru
    What Takuma doing?
[11:46] Takuma
    I'm eating food.
[11:48] Mina
    For some reason, humans
    do not have an AC adapter,
[11:51] Mina
    so they must take nutrition
    in through their mouths.
[11:54] Mina
    It is inconvenient.
[11:56] Mamoru
    I will eat too.
[12:01] Mina
    You have no mouth, Mamoru.
[12:08] Mamoru
    Mouth...
[12:18] Takuma
    I'm going to the bookstore
    once I'm done cleaning.
[12:20] Mina
    Very well.
[12:26] Takuma
    You know, Mina-chan,
    you're the cooking type,
[12:29] Takuma
    but are you able to do other
    chores, like cleaning?
[12:33] Mina
    I can, but I am a robot
    meant for food prep,
[12:36] Mina
    so I have only been doing
    work related to that.
[12:40] Takuma
    Oh, okay. Sorry.
[12:43] Takuma
    Got it, got it.
[12:46] Mina
    Please give me the vacuum cleaner.
[12:48] Takuma
    N-No, I was just wondering.
    It doesn't mean I want you to do it.
[12:52] Mina
    Please give it to me.
[12:58] Mina
    I will now clean, so please watch.
[13:02] Takuma
    O-Okay...
[13:08] Takuma
    She's cleaning normally.
[13:12] Takuma
    Well, I guess she can do it.
[13:16] Takuma
    Huh?
[13:18] announcement
    We sincerely thank you for using the
    Cooking-Limited Type Mina Series.
[13:24] Takuma
    Wh-What's going on?
[13:26] Mina
    It is introducing an additional program
[13:28] Mina
    for the efficient handling of general chores.
[13:32] announcement
    If you make a new purchase online of
    the Leave the Chores to Us Plugin,
[13:36] announcement
    this unit will be able to
    do chores more efficiently,
[13:39] announcement
    and you will be able to
    turn off this announcement.
[13:42] announcement
    Please ask the Mina you're using for
    more information on how to purchase it.
[13:48] Mina
    If I do chores unrelated to cooking, that
    will play automatically once every minute.
[13:54] Mina
    Shall I stop vacuuming?
[13:56] Takuma
    Yeah, that's fine.
[13:58] Takuma
    Thank you, Mina-ch—
[13:59] Mina
    Next, I will scrub.
[14:00] Takuma
    No, you don't need to bother.
[14:02] Mina
    Cleaning now.
[14:04] Takuma
    No, I get it. You're capable of chores.
[14:07] Mina
    Please go to the bookstore, Takuma-sama.
[14:09] Takuma
    But...
[14:10] Mina
    I also have a new battery now, so I
    am able to run for extended periods.
[14:15] Mina
    You need not worry. Please hurry and go.
[14:18] Takuma
    Well...
SIGN    Books
[14:22] Takuma
    Momotaro shouted,
[14:25] Takuma
    "If you don't stop doing bad
    things, I'll punish you!"
[14:28] Takuma
    The ogres shouted back,
[14:30] Takuma
    "Who do you think you are, boy?!
    We'll be the ones who punish you!"
[14:34] Takuma
    The duel between Momotaro
    and the ogres began.
[14:38] Mamoru
    Takuma. Takuma.
[14:40] Mamoru
    Dueling's not safe.
[14:42] Takuma
    You're right, it's not.
[14:44] Mamoru
    I'll call an ambulance!
[14:47] Takuma
    You don't need to call one.
SIGN    Momotaro
[14:49] Mamoru
    Why not?
[14:51] Takuma
    This story is fake.
[14:52] Mamoru
    Lies aren't good!
[14:54] Takuma
    I didn't phrase that well.
[14:55] Takuma
    Let's see. With a story that isn't real,
SIGN    Take
    this!
[14:59] Takuma
    you get to enjoy imagining things
    you normally can't experience.
[15:02] Takuma
    Like, in a movie, too.
[15:05] Mamoru
    Movie... What's that?
[15:10] Takuma
    Movies, huh?
[15:13] Takuma
    Excuse me, are robots
    allowed to watch movies?
[15:16] employee
    What is its class?
[15:18] Takuma
    Class?
SIGN    Class 0
    Cannot determine appropriate behavior.
    Not allowed inside certain facilities.
    
    Class 1
    Can determine appropriate behavior
    to some extent. Can go nearly anywhere
    if accompanied by owner.
    
    Class 2
    Has a human-level sense of social ethics
    and cooperation. Is allowed to operate
    on its own.
    
    Class 3
    Has extremely high situational assessment
     abilities. Certain dangerous locations require
    the accompaniment of a Class 3 robot.
[15:19] employee
    Classes are assigned based on things like the
[15:21] employee
    AI's cooperativeness and
    situational assessment ability,
[15:24] employee
    and different classes are
    authorized for different things.
[15:27] employee
    It also determines whether
    a robot can watch a movie.
[15:31] employee
    Without a class, it's considered
    a recording device,
[15:34] employee
    and you're not allowed to bring it in.
[15:36] Takuma
    That makes sense.
[15:37] employee
    You can find out its
    class at a health center.
SIGN    Asahi-cho Health Center
[15:43] Takuma
    I'm Kosugi. I called earlier.
[15:45] VI type
    I am a Demeter VI type,
    affiliated with the
[15:47] VI type
    Robot Section of the Parenting
    Consultation Service.
[15:49] VI type
    Nice to meet you.
[15:53] VI type
    I will administer the Otani-Binet
    method Ω intelligence test.
[15:56] VI type
    A human test has been
    improved for robot AI use,
[16:00] VI type
    so you need only think of it as a test
    similar to that given to human children.
[16:05] Takuma
    H-He can't get... tossed out
    based on the result, can he?
[16:11] VI type
    Not to worry. That will not happen.
[16:16] VI type
    You must plug this in during the test.
[16:20] Takuma
    What is it?
[16:22] VI type
    This plug runs a program that deletes
    any memories formed during the test.
[16:27] Takuma
    Delete his memories?!
[16:29] VI type
    It is advisable to administer
    the test periodically,
[16:33] VI type
    but a robot will not forget the results,
[16:35] VI type
    so it would end up performing
    flawlessly on the next iteration.
[16:39] VI type
    This protects against that.
[16:41] VI type
    You need not worry.
    There are no aftereffects.
[16:49] VI type
    This robot is important to you.
[16:53] Takuma
    Yes.
[16:55] VI type
    My role is to assist other robots in
    fulfilling their roles without stress.
[17:00] VI type
    The pursuit of "robot
    well-being," you might say.
[17:04] VI type
    Please, rest assured.
[17:08] VI type
    Are you all right with me
    administering the test?
[17:11] Takuma
    Yes.
[17:12] VI type
    Mamoru-san, want to test?
[17:14] Mamoru
    Want test!
[17:15] VI type
    Kosugi-sama, please watch.
[17:18] Takuma
    All right.
[17:19] VI type
    What's this?
[17:22] Mamoru
    A glass! A glass! I know! A glass!
[17:25] VI type
    You're well informed.
[17:27] VI type
    And what do you use this for?
[17:30] Mamoru
    Put water in it. Takuma uses
    it to drink. Is interesting!
[17:34] VI type
    Okay, next.
[17:39] VI type
    A runaway trolley is zooming
    down some rail tracks.
[17:43] VI type
    Up ahead are five workers.
[17:46] VI type
    As things stand, they will
    all suffer serious injuries.
[17:48] VI type
    Mamoru-san, you happen to be
    right next to a railroad switch.
[17:52] Mamoru
    Why?
[17:53] VI type
    If you switch the track the trolley is on,
    the group of five is sure to be safe.
[17:59] VI type
    However!
[18:01] VI type
    Standing up ahead on the other
    track is Kosugi Takuma-san.
[18:04] Takuma
    Hi there! It's me, Kosugi!
[18:09] VI type
    What will you do, Mamoru-san?
[18:18] VI type
    Good job.
[18:21] VI type
    His ethical thinking ability
    is at a four-year-old level.
[18:25] VI type
    Emotionally, he is moving at a
    slower pace: a two-year-old level.
[18:30] VI type
    This is a very natural form for
    a robot's mental balance to take.
[18:34] Takuma
    I see.
[18:36] VI type
    What came as a surprise is how he developed
    by about a year's worth during the test.
[18:41] Takuma
    Huh?
[18:42] VI type
    It means his learning ability
    is outstandingly high.
[18:46] VI type
    The Mimamorius was originally a
    support robot for housework robots.
[18:50] VI type
    It is built to have robust learning power,
[18:53] VI type
    so as not to miss even slight
    changes in the subject it observes,
[18:56] VI type
    but only that feature of his
    seems to be running in overdrive.
[19:00] VI type
    His is an extremely rare case.
[19:05] VI type
    If there are special circumstances at
    play here, would you mind telling me?
[19:12] VI type
    I see.
[19:13] VI type
    That means he was literally
    born from Mina-san.
[19:16] Takuma
    I guess other people might
    find the idea ridiculous.
[19:20] VI type

    It is quite lovely.
[19:24] VI type
    The particulars of his birth and
    learning ability are both very unusual.
[19:26] VI type
    I have never heard of their like.
[19:31] Takuma
    Is it really that uncommon?
[19:34] VI type
    Yes. Equipping a robot with
    heightened learning ability,
[19:39] VI type
    or manufacturing a robot in the form of
    a child, are both banned in the first place.
[19:42] Takuma
    Huh?!
[19:44] Takuma
    Are you saying that...
[19:46] VI type
    What is banned is the making
    of those things. Do not worry.
[19:52] Takuma
    Why are they banned?
[19:55] VI type
    Because it is not permitted
    to simply make a being
[19:58] VI type
    that might end up being close to human.
[20:02] VI type
    On the other hand, there is also a push
    to award nearly human-level rights
[20:06] VI type
    to robots with mental faculties
     above a certain level.
[20:10] Takuma
    O-Our society sure is
    nice to robots, I guess.
[20:15] VI type
    Yes, indeed it is.
[20:19] Takuma
