"This is unbelievable." Hideki was still stunned a half hour after seeing the picture, and reading
information that Minoru had found. It was rumored that there were four such Chobits, that when
started, would say a specific word. Two of the Chobits had been lost and never been found again,
but the other two had been found just recently. They had been dubbed "Shu" and "Shii" after the
sounds they made. Minoru had been able to find pictures. They, too, looked like Chii, with the same
long hair and oddly-shaped ears. "Shii", Chobit number "03", had red hair and brown eyes, and
"Shu", Chobit number "04", had brown hair and blue eyes. There was also a picture of all of the
Chobits in a row. The first two looked exactly like Chii and Chu. There was also evidence of a fifth
Chobit, though it had never been sighted by anyone. The tentative sketch was different from the first
four Chobits, and had caused Minoru to cry out in shock.
It looked exactly like Yuzuki.
The picture was in black and white, so Minoru couldn't tell if it was indeed of Yuzuki, or of some
mysterious persocon. It had also been hand-drawn, so a few defining details weren't there. But plain
as day, on the persocon's arm, was the number "05"...and on her leg, the word "Chobit". Minoru
was puzzling over this, extremely curious. Yuzuki hadn't looked at the sketch yet...Minoru didn't
want to upset her with this new turn of events. Hideki suggested letting Chu look at the picture of
Chobit "02", and Minoru consented. "Chii," he called. "Will you bring Chu in here, please?" Chii
appeared almost instantly with Chu in tow. Minoru pointed at the screen, at the picture of Chobit
"02". "Chu, is this a picture of you?" he asked gently. Chu studied it for a moment, then shook her
head. "This...not picture of...Chu," she fumbled out. Minoru patted his persocon on the head.
"You're learning to speak fast." But something bothered him. The expression on Chu's face...Hideki
had told him about how Chii had denied that she was Chobit "01" and made a strange face, and now
Chu was denying that she was Chobit "02" and making the same strange face. Was there something
the persocons knew that they weren't telling?
Yuzuki entered the room, carrying a teapot. "Minoru-sama, would you and Motosuwa-sama like
some tea?" Minoru looked at Hideki, who nodded, and turned to Yuzuki. "Yes, please," he said.
"And after you do that...I'd like you to look at this." Yuzuki poured the tea, then moved around
behind Minoru to look at the screen. He brought up the picture of Chobit "05".
Yuzuki gasped, and dropped the teapot.
