it's kinda disturbing how they mentioned before that these A.I.s are sentient but here they're talking about buying her.

It's like sci-fi version of slavery ain't it?

I don't know about the LN, but in the WN it wasn't Mimi's classmate (or, she didn't describe it as such), it was Mimi. She was the one with a boyfriend whom she lost to a maidroid.

While both versions of the story fit Mimi's fears well, it is interesting to imagine how her story would have changed had her former boyfriend not dumped her.

Like, she would have had the support and counsel to both reject her parents' debt and have a place to live until... I'll stop there as there's massive spoilers, but she would still most likely end up a space mercenary, just without Hiro, so she'd also probably be more cynical and not be part of a harem.

I haven't read the LN. But it seems easier to change Mimi's mind about maidroid if it was about her friend. (though I'm still curious about how they convinced Mimi, so I hope someone can spoil me about the LN).

But how did they convince Mimi in the WN if it was her who was dumped by her bf?

She's only partly an individual. For the main network it might be like having an arm with an amygdala. Like yeah, it can think, but not really, if yo want a new arm no one will call it murder.

Sorry for not replying sooner. Unfortunately, the WN was just as offscreen as the manga when it came to Mei convincing Mimi keeping her was a good idea. So no one but the author knows that.

Oh, and my thought experiment aside, I honestly prefer the idea that it was Mimi's friend who got dumped, if for no other reason than it feels like were getting a tiny bit more world building. If everything that happens always directly involves the crew, it makes the story feel too much on the insular side.

And I completely agree that it makes more sense for Mimi to accept Mei if it was her friend and not her. The WN seems to be treated like a first draft where feedback can be given before it gets polished and put into the LN, which is probably why things like the Manga (and I suspect the LN) have it so that it was Mimi's classmate who lost her boyfriend to a maidroid.
