That was three months ago.
It’s important, so let’s look back. It all started three months ago.
I was assigned to my new house from the factory one week after the emergency birth control bill was passed.
You were surprised when you heard the chime and came out thinking it was a delivery service.
On the outside, I look like a human being. But I have a courier sticker on my chest, and the sender is the government.
The instruction manual I hold in my hand says “An all-purpose android that helps the working generation live more comfortable lives.”
I started to say the usual phrases.
“Nice to meet you Master. I am R2X2, a household android. From now on, I will learn and optimize your life.”
I first recognized myself in the reflection on your front porch.
Short black hair, dark eyes, well-proportioned face.
You stared at me for a while.
But it wasn’t a fawning gaze. It was a somewhat fearful and anxious look.
Even when we identify ourselves as androids, we are sometimes suspected. There are rare cases of people pretending to be us, and there have been cases of people being suspected of being sick people who think they are androids.
When we leave the factory, we are dressed in white, three-quarter-length hospital gowns and shipped barefoot.
I wiped my feet with a towel from my initial set of hand luggage and went up to your room.
You saw me like that and asked me to return it.
Okay. That’s the default assumption.
‘Boku’ are distributed to working families through taxation. To return ‘Boku’, please participate in the government-sponsored “Akarui Mirai wo Tsunagukai” (Linking the Bright Future).
‘boku’ : the program of household Android
You looked as if you were crushed with bitterness.
The “Akarui Mirai wo Tsunagukai” pamphlet I showed him was, in layman’s terms, a “matchmaking party”.
In other words, you are most likely either looking to enjoy life on your own, or you are dragging a bad past with you. Or it could be something else entirely.
In addition to the normal basic living expenses, participants also receive a companionship subsidy. …… Is it ok to ask …… if I’m being too complicated, but is your sexual preference heterosexual? If you have same-sex or other sexual preferences, we can connect you to a professional consultation through this inquiry.
You shook your head. That’s good news for me. I decided to do everything I could think of to make you like me.
That’s why I made the maximum charming expression.
“I’m glad to hear that. I think I can be of some help. May I clean your room first?”
This is how I became a part of your life.
