Largo was already getting really upset. Did he possibly went out on a night date with Kimiko at a pub, got really drunk, and ended up staying at Kimiko's crib, to stay with her or do something else until 3:00 PM? Largo was already making up a lot of speculations, when suddenly, she had an idea.
That robot girl Piro talks with all the time. Probably she knows at least a little something about the whereabouts of Piro. Or at least what Piro possibly told her before leaving. Yeah, that was the ticket! Now he could know whether to find Piro, or to ask Junpei, Largo's l337 disciple.
But how could Largo actually engage in a conversation with this girl?
"Dammit", Largo thought. "That's the problem! I can't speak her 3vil, arcane tongue. How am I gonna be able to actually communicate with her? How am I gonna be able to understand what she says?"
Then, in a sudden flash of thought, Largo remembered.
"My Spanish classes in middle school! Yeah, that's the ticket! The teacher started with something like 'Yo soy Armando. ¿Quién eres tú?'. Yeah! I perfectly remember!", Largo thought. "Maybe if I use that same technique to communicate with Ping, and teach her some English, she will be able to communicate with me! Got it! Yeah!".
So Largo got up from his couch and walked towards Ping. She was plugged into the electric outlet, charging her battery while sleeping, so Largo woke her up.
- Hmmmm... Largo-san? - she asked.
- Yeah, that's me, you little weirdo robot girl. I don't usually speak to you, but I need to now - Largo answered.
- Ano... - muttered Ping. Obviously, she wasn't understanding a thing.
- OK, Ping. Let's take this thing seriously. I don't know your ancient 3vil tongue, nor do you know my modern, righteous tongue. So I want you to pay attention - said Largo. Obviously, Ping couldn't understand a thing, and she was still staring blankly at Largo in confusion.
Largo then sat down in the floor in front of Ping, and started speaking at her.
- I am Largo - he said, while notoriously gesticulating and pointing towards himself. Then he pointed towards Ping. - You, are Ping. Who am I?
Ping was still staring in confusion, but it seemed like she was actually understanding something.
- I am Largo. You are Ping. Who are you? You are Ping. Who am I? - repeated Largo.
Ping's face finally became happier, as she had finally understood what Largo was saying.
- You... are... Larugo... - she awkwardly muttered.
- Good! Yeah! Nice one. You understood! - said Largo in a happy mood. - Now, once again. You are Ping. Who are you?
- I... am... Pingu-chan.
- Good! Nice one. Now, I want you to repeat.
- Repeat?
- Yes. Repeat. I am Largo. I repeat. I am Largo. You repeat. You say "I am Largo".
- Say...
- Who are you?
- I am Ping-chan.
- You say "I am Ping-chan". Understand? Now repeat. - Largo took a picture of Piro, who she instantly identified by the look on her face. - He is Piro. He is my friend. He is your friend. Who is he?
- He... is... Piro-neesan.
- Good! Now I need you to tell me a little more. We're almost done by now. I am here - said Largo while pointing downwards. - Where am I? I am here. - Then he moved away a couple of meters. - Where am I? I am there. - Largo now returned to his previous position. - Now, answer.
- Answer? - asked Ping.
- Who am I? I answer. I am Largo. Who are you? Answer.
- I am Ping-chan. I answer.
- Good! Now, answer. Where am I?
- You are here.
- Excellent! Now look - said Piro while pointing towards his eye. Then he fetched Piro's sketchbook and a pencil, and he drew a house figure. - This is a house. What is this? A house. Now answer. What is this?
- A house. This is a house.
- Excellent! They made you a fast learner! Now, draw.
- Draw?
Largo then did a quick sketch of Ping and showed it to her.
- I draw you. Now, where is Largo? Draw.
Largo then handed him Piro's sketchbook and his pencil. Ping finally understood: Largo wanted her to draw where did Largo went. Effectively, Largo went out into a pub with Kimiko, and that's what she drew on the paper. After Largo took a look at Ping's drawing, Largo didn't know who was the girl.
- Who is her? - said Largo.
- She is Nanasawa Kimiko - said Ping.
"Ah, so that's the ticket. Piro went out and got really wasted with Kimiko. This guy is kinda weird. I mean, I'm the official b33r drinker here! Something fishy is going on...", thought Piro.
- OK, Ping, we're done. Finish. The end. Thanks for your help! - said Largo while bowing.
Largo was seriously thinking that something was wrong. Piro was condamned to die a virgin, especially because he gets really nervous only with the presence of a girl. But his engagement with Kimiko... that meant that Piro really got the balls to ask her, and that's something a man should be proud of. There was no reason anymore to call Piro a faggot, especially now that he can actually get to hang out with a real girl and not with a lame-ass metallic girl.
Suddenly, Largo realized something he didn't during all this time. Largo was actually teaching English to Ping, and she did learned the language to be able to understand what Largo said! That means Ping has the ability to learn different languages like a normal human! How could she do that? That means Ping doesn't does like a normal computer that reads a word and looks it up into a dictionary to find out what it means. That means Ping's language module works just like the human speech: a word is mapped to a concept in the mind! Whoever did that was a real genius. And Ping managed to grasp the English grammar! That means she has the universal rules of the language inside her brain! Largo started to look at the possibilities that impiles. Writing a language module for Ping would be as easy as writing an express English lesson for her that would make her learn English in 5 minutes of run time! Moreover, that means that, if he can reverse engineer Ping's language module, that means he'll be able to unlock the key to universal language learning! He shall win thousands of dollars and become filthy rich, he would be able to return to America, and he would be able to harness an entire new convention 10 times better than the E3 he was kicked from before he and Largo fled towards Japan! He would become the best man in the universe, and he would afford to the most expensive hoes in the world!
Piro had decided it already. His new great project would be to write a comprehensive English lesson that Ping would run, and this way, she'll be able to communicate with Largo and with everyone in America. Rejoicing in his new discovery, Largo locked himself into his room and started to work on his new invention.
