Ch. 36

(POV:Neko)

As I sat down to work on my homework for the night, I noticed a slight change to my homescreen. I also knew what it meant. It was a small chain icon, but with a line through it. It meant that the security on my PC had been compromised. I immediately shut down my PC and booted it in safe mode, then used my recovery program. I then isolated the spyware and examined it. However, it was weird. The only thing being logged was the activity report. Essentially all the person could tell was that the PC was being used, and that was it. From that fact, the fact of the events of the other day, and that fact that the spyware was loaded via USB, led me to conclude that the spyware was something Nemu installed. While I contemplated faking it's data reports to throw Nemu off my tail, I instead decided to just delete the thing and move on.

(POV:Nemu)

As I awaited for the data report for Neko's PC, I wondered why it hadn't yet been sent. He had entered his room to do his homework several minutes ago, and he was one of those people who wastes zero time getting started on something, just going ahead and getting it done. Finally, I decided to pay his room a visit. I walked up and opened the door, entering the room and closing it behind me. He was, as I thought, working on his homework on his PC. As I walked up next to him I noticed that he was focusing on an advanced algebra problem. As I touched his shoulder, he finally noticed me.

"Hey." I said.

"Please don't install spyware on my PC." he replied.

Damn. Straight to the point as always.
