Present Reactions[]
When you give K1-B0 a present, he will give you a different reaction depending on how much he likes it. There are two possible reactions for each "tier" of present, and which of the two reactions you receive is random. Each line is a separate response.
Loves
Kaede/Shuichi...Thank you very much. I am humbled by your generosity. Did you give me this simply because I am a robot? I will report your robophobic actions.
This is...quite a practical gift. Thank you. Please don't get the wrong impression... I'm happy because this gift is so practical. Under different circumstances, this gift could be considered an act of robophobia.
Likes
This is nice. It aligns with my preferences. You understand me... I feel... happy.
This is...quite a fascinating item! Are you sure I can have it? I wish I could give you something in return, but I have nothing to give... I'm sorry.
...A toy? Is this your way of bringing me a friend? Do you see me a toy too? I'd prefer not to be compared to this toy...but as far toys go, I guess it's kind of cute.
OK
Oh, thank you. The proper emotional response to receiving a gift is one of joy. Even if the gift itself does not interest me, I still understand...that I should feel joy.
A present from Kaede/Shuichi... There, I've finished saving a backup copy of this memory. I hope to repay your kindness someday.
...I'm sorry. I cannot see myself ever developing an interest in this. Should I feign happiness in this situation? That seems illogical to me...
Dislikes
... ... I'm sorry. I was calculating the appropriate response to a situation like this.
...I don't know how to react to being given a gift like this. It would be insincere of me to just accept this gift, so I must politely decline it.
I'm sorry. I can't do anything with food or beverages except stare at them... This kind of gift is wasted on me. You should probably give it to someone else.
Hates
Wh-What's wrong with you!? Why would you give me a gift like this!? This isn't some kind of robophobic microaggression, is it!?

Free Time Event Dialogue & Option Guide[]
Full dialogue from K1-B0's Free Time Events:
Introduction[]
???
Please stop! Don't come any closer!
C'mooon! Wait up! Lemme touch your body a little! I've always wanted to be friends with a robot!
What? A robot!?
...What is it? Are you another robophobe?
I have a recording function. If you make any robophobic remarks, I will see you in court.
Wait...you're a robot!? Are you, for reals, a robot!?
Do not compare me to those toys! I am not just any old robot!
I am K1-B0, the Ultimate Robot! But please, address me as Keebo!
Ultimate Robot...?
That's not faaair! You can't be the only one who gets to show off! I'll introduce myself, too!
Oh, um...go ahead.
I'm Kokichi Oma, the Ultimate Supreme Leader!
A robot and...supreme leader? Neither of them make any sense.
By the way, I learned the hard way that a robot's breath smells like gasoline.
My breath does not smell like gasoline! I am powered by electricity!
Nee-heehee...I'm just kidding.
...You're not funny.
Of course you don't think I'm funny. Robots can't understand human humor to begin with!
D-Don't mock me! I have studied the complete history of stand-up comedy!
I think you should've just watched stand-up comedy instead of studying it...
Plus, I may have the appearance of a robot, but I am a high school student just like you.
You're a high school student?
I was created by Professor Idabashi, the leading authority in the field of robotics... He installed in me a "strong AI," capable of learning and maturing like a human brain. That's why, at the time of my creation, I didn't know anything. I was like a baby...
But the professor raised me like I was his own child. He taught me so many things... Until finally, he enrolled me in high school.
And now I stand here before you all! See? I'm just like everyone else!
Hey, do robots have dicks?
Please do not ask ridiculous questions!
Nee-heehee... I only asked because your backstory is pretty flaccid for a robot.
Well, I can see how being arobotmight be enough to be called theUltimate Robot...
Hey, Kokichi? I don't really understand your Ultimate Supreme Leader talent...
...Oh. I'm just the supreme leader of an evil secret organization. That's all.
What?
I gotta say, it's pretty impressive. My organization has over 10,000 members!
Seriously? The supreme leader of an evil secret organiza—
Who knows? I am a liar, after all.
Huh? So you were lying just now?
Well, I am the supreme leader of an evil secret organization. That part was true!
So...were you lying or not?
Nee-heehee... I'm not telling youuuuu.
Ah, by the way...what is the name of that organization?
It's a secret. Y'know, cuz it's a secret organization.
But I've never heard of such a large secret organization like that...
Of course you haven't. Because it's a secret organization.
Hey... Everything he's said so far has sounded like a lie, so that's gotta be a lie too, right?
Just leave him alone. Everything he has been saying has been a lie. ...He's a far more suspicious person than I am, that's for sure.
Well, of course you're not a suspicious person, because robots aren't people, silly.
Grgh...!
Oh, you mad? Are you gonna hit me with a rocket punch?
I don't have that function!
Aw maaan, you're boring.
What a weird boy... He's like a mischievous little kid... This is no time to be joking around. Unless...he really is an evil supreme leader?

With Kaede Akamatsu[]
Free Time Event 1[]
Spend time with Keebo
If you have come to talk to me...that can only mean you are interested in me, right Kaede?
I certainly do not mind. After all, I am the Ultimate Robot. Naturally, I will attract interest.
Yeah, I've never talked to such a human-like robot before... Well, any robot, really. Hey, if you don't mind... Can I ask you a question?
By all means, ask me anything. Oh, but I cannot answer any questions about the technology used to create me.
Don't worry, I won't ask anything too difficult! Okay, first question...do you sleep at night?
I have no need for sleep. However, it is necessary to recharge my power cells.
Oh, so you recharge!
Yes, but I am still conscious while I recharge, so it's not quite the same as human sleep... A single charge generates a week's worth of power, so I don't need to do it very often.
Ooh, for one week, I see... I always assumed robots needed a lot of electricity.
That's what's so incredible about me! My energy efficiency is truly incomparable!
Hmmm...
...That's it?
Huh? Was he expecting me to be more excited? To be honest, it's not *that* amazing...
May I ask you another question, then?
Yes, go ahead...
Do you eat?
Do you eat?
... No...
Huh? He looks pretty down...
Sorry, did I say something wrong?
No, I'm sorry too... Though I cannot eat, food still looks delicious to me. The unfairness of it all pains me...
Yeah, that seems pretty rough.
I continued to ask Keebo some questions...
Do you like girls?
Do you like girls?
...Huh?
Are you attracted to human girls? Or do you prefer female robots?
Are you suggesting...that robots should stick with their own kind?
I didn't mean it like that! I was just curious! Honest!
Then...are you saying...that you...and me...?
Th-That's not it, either!
...Of course. I apologize for being overly self-conscious. I have never felt romantic attraction, so I cannot answer questions on that subject.
You mean...the disc-shaped cleaning robot that scoots along the floor?
Yeah, that! Do you see them as, like, younger siblings or something?
...Kaede, it's very robophobic to suggest that robots are only good for cleaning. You should know that I am completely different from that simple machine.
But you guys are basically the same, more or less...so I was just wondering.
That does not matter. If I am comparable to a human, that thing is comparable to a microbe.
But compared to Roombas, you're losing in the popularity department.
Why, that's—!
I'm kidding! Really!
Krgh...! Human jokes are rather vexing...!
I continued to ask Keebo some questions...
Well, that's all! Thanks for answering them, Keebo!
Yes, of course... You're the first person to ask me so many questions, one after the other.
Oh! Was I being too forward?
No, that's not what I meant. I just thought... ...being treated like that isn't so bad. It's actually...kind of fun.
After parting ways with Keebo, I returned to my room.

Free Time Event 2[]
Spend time with Keebo
I'm chatting with Keebo again today, but...
...Kaede, is something troubling you?
N-No! It's nothing.
To be honest, something's been bothering me, and I can't really focus on our conversation. There's a button on Keebo's neck... What does it do? It's calling out to me... I wanna push the button!
*thud!*
Hm? What was that sound?
Whatever that sound was, it occurred at the exact right time... Because when Keebo turned around, his neck was completely defenseless... Oh, god! The button is like screaming, "Don't push me! Don't push me!"
But I'm definitely gonna push the button!
*click!*
...
...
...
...
...
No reaction...? Keebo!? I called his name and circled around him...
...
Whaaaaat!? Keebo was completely frozen! Like a toy out of batteries... M-Maybe that was the emergency stop button!?
Wh-What should I do!? Maybe if I push it again, it'll fix him...?
Hoping that was the case, I pressed the button again.
*click!*
...
...
Wha—!? Kaede, why are you in front of me? Weren't you behind me earlier? A-And why are you so close to me?
I-I'm so glad... You're back to normal...
Huh? What do you mean?
U-Um...well, I noticed a button on your neck, so I pushed it.
What—!? You discovered this button!?
I-I'm so sorry! It was tempting me! Was that the emergency stop button?
...Yes. It's there just in case my AI or essential functions encounter problems.
I didn't know you had such a function...
Kaede...you know my secret now...
I-If it's a secret, then you should've hid it better!
But what good is an emergency button that cannot be easily found in an emergency?
But there are people who might push it for fun...like me...
...That's true. I will forward your feedback to the professor when we get out of here.
Yeah, good idea...
But...Kaede, that means you will have influenced my design. Which means you will have played a role in my creation.
Huh? You're exaggerating.
It's no exaggeration. If Professor Idabashi can be considered my "father"...
Then you, Kaede, will be my "mother." So I shall call you mom.
M-M-Mom!? What!?
...That was a joke.
U-Um...
It's payback for messing with my body. You deserve at least that much.
Ha...hahaha... I'm so sorry, Keebo. A robot making a joke... That's pretty cool. The title of Ultimate Robot really suits him.
Um, Kaede... Do you think you can keep that button a secret from everyone?
Yeah, don't worry. Kokichi definitely can't find out about his button. That would be a huge problem...
After parting ways with Keebo, I returned to my room.

With Shuichi Saihara[]
Free Time Event 1[]
Spend time with Keebo
Since you have come to speak to me... I can only assume that you've taken some sort of interest in me.
Ah, well...you are a robot, after all.
Indeed. Curiosity is a very useful human quality... Very well, I shall humor you.
...Hm. I feel as though he's talking down to me a little...
So first, I will explain my functions. As a robot, I'm somewhat extraordinary compared to you.
But...I remember you saying something about having the strength of an old person...
T-True, but... Considering the tragedy that occurred during trial production, it was a logical design choice.
Now first, is my visual acuity. I have 20/13 vision... Impressive, no?
...You think so? I believe that's pretty normal...
What are you talking about!? Over 50% of high school students have less than 20/20 vision! But no matter what, my visual acuity will always be 20/13.
If it got any worse, I suppose that would count as a malfunction...
My next function will definitely surprise you. Shuichi, please raise your hand.
Huh? My what?
I want you to put your hand in front of my mouth.
...Like this?
Haaaaaaaaaaa...
...What the hell is this?
Haaaaaaaaaaa...
Lukewarm breath grazed across my hand. Well, Keebo is a robot, so maybe not "breath"...
How about that? In addition, my warm breath also functions as a dryer.
Ah...I see...
Now, now, you can't be surprised just yet, okay? Case in point, my hand can turn into a multi-tool! With both hands, I have 20 tools at my disposal! My finger can detect wafting aromas, and even distinguish between different scents! I also have a music player for when I'm bored. I can even play tapes and records. Neat, huh?
I'm still thinking about how weird your breath felt, I dunno about your other functions...
Don't be too surprised. After all, I am the Ultimate Robot!
...
Y-Yeah...amazing
Y-Yeah...amazing.
Right? I am Professor Idabashi's masterpiece, after all. The professor's technology has given me the functions to support a life of comfort.
A life of comfort... I see. That makes sense.
However... My greatest attribute is actually not a function at all.
That's actually pretty normal
That's actually pretty normal.
Gh—! Wh-What do you mean, "normal"!? What do you know about robots!? The meaning of "normal" is purely subjective anyway! Don't assume your definition of normal is the same as mine!
Oh no, he's really mad!
F-Furthermore...! My greatest attribute is actually not a function at all.
Ah...is that it?
Ah...is that it?
Is that it...? You mean, you're not impressed?
Well, I assumed you would have more...special...functions.
... W-Well, you know...I *might* have a special function of sorts...
...Might?
But Professor Idabashi told me to keep it a secret. I hope you get the chance to see it someday. And besides... My greatest attribute is actually not a function at all.
It isn't?
You can't tell what it is?
It's my compact, lightweight design that makes my various functions possible! This is what truly drives Professor Idabashi's technological revolution! Well? Now do you understand just how amazing I am?
I don't know how to respond to his boasting... Maybe someone like Miu would really appreciate his mechanics.
Keebo and I parted ways, and I returned to my room.
K1-B0's Report Card has been updated based on your experience with him.
Free Time Event 2[]
Spend time with Keebo
So you've come to talk to me again... You must be very fascinated by me, Shuichi. That is understandable. In all the world, there is no other robot as impressive as I am.
Why does he talk to me like that...? Although, I suppose it is true that his technology is pretty amazing. Very human-like.
Hey, Keebo. You said your father is Professor Idabashi, right? Do you know why he made you?
The professor told me that I am the sum total of his research. The entirety of his knowledge, technology, and expertise in the field of robotic engineering...
All applied to create a robot more human than any that has come before. That is what I am. He said...I am the culmination of his life's work. But...I was not truly "born" until an incident occurred that the professor did not predict...
An incident...?
My strong AI was programmed such that my mental age would reflect my appearance. But, unlike now... My AI was only capable of displaying a very narrow spectrum of human emotion. In response, the professor treated me the way a father would treat his son... But things did not improve.
One day, a few years later, an accident occurred during a routine experiment... My programming went rogue...and I ended up seriously injuring the professor.
What!?
Fortunately, the professor survived his injury... But I died that day.
Died...?
When I hurt the professor, I was overcome by the emotional response known as "sadness." The First Law of Robotics states, "A robot must not harm a human being." Though I wasn't punished for violating that rule, I nevertheless felt "sadness"... I blamed myself for hurting my father. In doing so, I was overcome with "guilt"...
"This is what it feels like to have human emotions!"
At that moment, my AI suddenly reset...and I became not unlike a newborn infant.
I see...so that's what he means by "died."
Perhaps I simply wanted to be "reborn" as the professor's son again. That's what the professor concluded, and he raised me as his own child...
...
To tell you the truth, my memories were deleted when my AI reset... So I learned all this second-hand from the professor himself.
I had no idea he had experienced something so incredible.
Shuichi? Is something wrong?
Ah, well... How do I put this? I was just thinking...you really are the Ultimate Robot. To Professor Idabashi, Keebo is more than just a robot. And I'm sure that for Keebo, the professor is...
Wh-What does that mean? Do you hold me in contempt now because I am a robot? How rude! Please reconsider your attitude toward me in the future.
Haha... Yeah. Got it, Keebo.
I listened to Keebo's stories about the professor, then returned to my room.
K1-B0's Report Card has been updated based on your experience with him.
Free Time Event 3[]
Spend time with Keebo
Shuichi, may I ask you for advice concerning a particular matter?
Advice? Are you sure want to ask...me?
Yes. In fact, you are the only one I can talk to about this matter.
The only one?
This question has been on my mind for a while now... Do you think I am merely ordinary, despite being the Ultimate Robot?
...No, you don't need to answer. Compared to everyone else, I feel rather ordinary.
...Then why ask?
So I've been thinking that I need to address this somehow by taking action. Shuichi, I intend to...launch a robot business!
A robot business?
Yes, I'm going to launch a business that takes full advantage of my robot capabilities. That's why...I'm going to work to become a pop star robot!
A pop star? Why that?
I arrived at this decision after analyzing many options. The main reason...is that robots have yet to advance in the pop music genre.
I don't think they've advanced in *any* music genre...
On the subject of pop stars...Singing is what they're mostly known for, right?
It's the singing
Yes, it's the singing.
As a robot, I should be able to sing once I upload the proper music and lyrics. In that regard, I believe I am well suited to the role of pop star.
I see. You've put a lot of thought into this.
Of course! Furthermore, pop stars fill the opposite sex with admiration, joy, and a reason to live. It's the perfect way for me to gain a deeper understanding of the emotion, "happiness." I'm going to sing for you now. Please tell me what you think.
It's their looks
It's their looks.
Looks, huh...? I suppose I could alter my appearance to a certain extent...
But I don't want to change how the professor designed me. Singing is how I will stand out!
I'm going to sing for you now. Please tell me what you think.
It's the dancing
It's the dancing.
Dancing, huh?
Ah, are you...bad at dancing?
I wouldn't say I'm bad at dancing. It's just...for some reason, my dancing always seems to turn into the robot dance...
I see... Perhaps being an idol is not for you...
That's why singing is how I'll stand out!
I'm going to sing for you now. Please tell me what you think.
Alright, sure. I would soon regret those words.
♪ ~ ♪ ~ ♪ ~~ ♪ ~~ ♪ ~
Keebo's expression while singing was so peaceful, so joyous...
Ah! Ahh!!! Aaauuuggghhh!!! But my brain was being fried! I felt like my insides were scrambling!
I can't block it out! I'm gonna throw up! Augh! Urgh... Blarghhh!
Several minutes later... I opened my eyes, still hunched over.
What do you think, Shuichi? It was pretty good, huh?
I'm sorry, Keebo... I don't think I can...follow your music career...
Huh? What do you mean?
Keebo...your singing...was terrible... I couldn't take it...
Wha—!? Was it really that bad!?
Yes... I ah...don't think you should sing for people anymore...
Oh no... Does that mean I can't become a pop star?
...Ah! Wait, Keebo, that's it! You can play music, right? Why don't you do that? If you just pretended to sing and played the song through your mouth...
I can't do that!
What?
That is an illogical compromise, Shuichi! Please understand, my AI is a reflection of the human desire for greater understanding. So I must experience the hardship of training! The easy path will only hinder my progress! Even if one possesses an Ultimate-level talent... That talent should not be a crutch, but a stepping stone to reach even greater heights!
Keebo gave me a dressing-down, and I returned to my room. I never thought the day would come when a robot would preach to a human. Ah, come to think of it...we didn't come to a conclusion about his robot business.

Spend time with Keebo
Shuichi, have you given more thought to our previous discussion?
Our previous discussion? Ah, I remember. When I suggested he fake the singing...
Yes, I have, Keebo. I apologize for saying what I did.
I accept your apology. After all, humans and robots alike seek greater understanding.
As for my robot business...if I can't be a pop star, I'll have to think of something else. But I can't seem to think of anything... Do you have any ideas?
Something else Keebo could get into... I really upset him last time, I should think hard about this...
Stuntwork
What about stuntwork? Like a stuntman?
Stuntwork?
Yeah, because you're a robot, you can stand in for a lot of things.
That may be, but...I'm not exactly the most physically sturdy robot, so...
Ah, that's right...
Alright then, ah...
High-risk work
What about high-risk work? Like in hazardous areas?
Are you implying... that I can't die because I'm a robot!? That's the most robophobic thing that I've ever heard!
N-No, that's not what I was trying to say!
Alright then, ah...
Robo-maid
What about...a robo-maid?
...I think you've been partaking in too much science fiction.
Besides...I couldn't possibly be a better maid than Kirumi...
Ah, that's true...
Alright then, ah...
Perhaps a caregiver robot? With life expectancy rising, I am sure there is demand.
Hmm, a caregiver robot... I hadn't considered that.
Alright, I will begin practicing at once. I'm counting on you to help me, Shuichi.
What? How could I possibly help you, Keebo?
I would like you to roleplay as someone in my care.
Ah, I see. Alright, sure.
First, I will attempt to assist you in getting ready for bed.
Ready for bed, alright... Can you help me change into pajamas?
Ch-Ch-Changing clothes!? I can't do that! It's too embarrassing!
It's care work, Keebo. You don't have to be embarrassed...
What's embarrassing is embarrassing and that's that! No clothes-changing!
Alright, alright...
I-I suppose I'll try picking you up and placing you on the bed.
There's no bed here, so I suppose we'll just have to make do...
I got in the fetal position so that Keebo could carry me more easily. This is kind of embarrassing... This could easily lead to a misunderstanding...
Okay, here I...go!
Keebo announced with determination, then began to lift me up...
*click!*
Ergh!?
...Hm? He's not picking me up...
Keebo? What's wrong?
O-Oooouuuch...! M-My back, my back...!
Your back!? I thought you were a robot!
Y-You're too heavy...!
I-I am not! I'm normal for my age!
Ah! Ooouuuuch...! It hurts to move my back...!
I guess that makes caregiving out of the question...
Ironically, I ended up carrying Keebo on my back and taking him to his room.

Spend time with Keebo
Keebo, is your back okay?
Yes, it feels better after I've rested.
So he just has to rest? He doesn't have to get repairs done?
Shuichi, about my robot business plan... I've realized that there's an issue that must be addressed before I can implement it... I've been told on more than one occasion that...my backstory is somewhat lacking.
Your backstory?
If my backstory was more interesting...maybe I could be more than just an ordinary robot.
Hm, I'm not so sure about that...
For example, if my family were killed by a monster, leaving me critically injured... Or if I sought revenge against someone... You know, like a tragic hero? This way, I'd gain more exposure to the emotions of "sadness" and "vengeance."
That does sound pretty cool...
I'd need weapons, which I'd have to get from the professor along with my new backstory... I'm not that fond of robotic weaponry...but I suppose it's unavoidable.
Are you sure? I know you don't like weapons... Isn't that something you really wanted to avoid?
... But if I stay the way I am...
I've said this before, but...you really are the Ultimate Robot, Keebo. You shouldn't think of yourself as merely "ordinary."
...Shuichi, your words make me extremely happy. However...I still don't fully comprehend what it means to feel that emotion. And though I detect that this causes me to feel "sad," I cannot comprehend that, either.
Sad?
Within me, I have a strong desire to feel like everyone else. To be able to say with pride...that I'm friends with you and everyone else here.
Keebo...
Could that be why he's so concerned? He wants everyone to accept him...
Keebo, you don't have to think up a new backstory... Let's just keep thinking about the robot business together.
Really? But you said... That I "really am" the Ultimate Robot.
Yes, that's true, but if you keep getting more business experience... I think it will help you learn new emotions as well. That's why I want to help you, Keebo. As your friend.
Sh-Shuichi...!
Thank you so much! I'm truly grateful... To think I'd feel such gratitude toward you... What a serendipitous miscalculation.
Hardly, Keebo. You were the one who told me that only I could help you.
Oh, that was a logical decision on my part. Because... It's dangerous to expose your weaknesses to an equal, but not to someone who is beneath you.
... So that's why he was always talking down to me!
But our relationship is different now. I feel that you and I are equals... No, I have decided that we are equals, due to our special relationship.
Ah, yes. This is probably intuition.
Intuition?
Based on our interactions thus far...I believe I've felt something inside you. This judgment is not rooted in logic, but rather something akin to human intuition.
That intuition is telling me that I can build a friendship with you, Shuichi.
A friendship, huh...? Yes, I suppose that is an equal but special relationship.
Please look out for me, Shuichi.
And you for me, Keebo. We shook hands, one human, one robot. But that's not what's important. There's a real connection here. A true bond between me and Keebo!
We spent the rest of the day discussing robot business possibilities...
