“Delicious…huh? It’s a carrot?”

The first task I did as a maid hired by the Master was to make carrot hamburgers.

After confirming once again that I was indeed working autonomously, I went down to a kitchen I had never been to before and put some of the skills I had honed to work for a magical girl who hates carrots.

I want to make a good impression on the Master who hired me, a Humanoid, on good terms… and Yuna also hates carrots.

When I entered the kitchen, I was surprised to see people asking if it was okay if they helped me since it was free.

When you think about how Humanoids are treated in society… You don’t have to go far to find Humanoids being used in convenience stores, taxis, and street cleaning units, and everyone who was hired as a Humanoid at the Master’s mansion seemed happy.

“B. That kind of consideration is needed. AT3550 was also a person. Why are you being so mean!”

“He was a person. It’s been a long time since I quit.

Instead, you got it like this, right? No problem, right?”

I still don’t know if the increasing heterogeneous feeling in my head when I reduce the proportion of my personality is Humanoid OS… but I seemed to have succeeded in leaving a good impression on the Master.

As a maid, the task of managing the mansion was not difficult.

I had cleaning skills from the beginning… and it was thanks to the autopilot mode installed by the master.

I tried not to use it as much as possible because I thought it would give up all control of my body, but people told me that mental stress could lead to decreased performance.

I felt like a robot that just had to execute the tasks that came to my mind in the house system without thinking about them.

The body that had relinquished control continued cleaning in the most efficient manner as programmed, but with only a brief closing of its eyes, its shift was already over.

“Work is over. YN2100. First shift. How was it?”

“Ber…already? I still have to clean this room, right?”

If AT3550 hadn’t come by and told me, I would have continued cleaning.

Before that, the cleaning wasn’t even finished yet and I was kicked out of the room. The cleaning supplies were also taken away from the person who helped me in the kitchen, saying they were free.

I made carrot hamburgers and only fell asleep for a moment, but they even said I had a hard time. What…what could it be? This mansion…

“Well? Shouldn’t we come visit?”

“Well, in the Master’s mansion, everyone is the same Humanoid. This case is a little different, right?”

It was added that it is still surprising.

The AT3550 flicked its fingers and a program in its head stopped working.

YN2100. Confirm completion of work. I confirmed that the OS of Humanoid, a maid business type, was stopped with administrator privileges.

“I switched to corpuscle personality mode…..ah…?”

“Introduce yourself. Is it okay if I ask you again? You don’t need to tell me. Would you like to think about it that way?”

There was an explanation that it was a Humanoid for maid work at the Master’s mansion, but instead of the main aircraft or the expression Humanoid, I was able to recall that the ‘subject’ was Yura.

It was explained that if it has an owner, it will not listen to orders from other humans, but as a robot created to serve, it is impossible to disobey humans.

“Even if the personality is set to 100%, if the basic Humanoid OS is running, the part of absolute obedience to humans remains.

Yuna. You said that, right? Even if it’s a private dormitory, you might run into friends, but you can’t call me Yuna there, right?”

Switching to small personality mode is possible remotely, but I realized later why AT3550 came to visit me in person. You have terminated the basic Humanoid OS, which cannot be disabled using remote control.

“Humanoid is not allowed to hide its identity, but the contract does not say that it hired a Humanoid named YN2100, right? You hired a maid, right?”

“There is a provision that requires the identification name and barcode to be engraved in a clearly visible place, but that only applies to the work area… Do you know that?”

The clause saying they could do so meant they could choose not to do so. Normally, as a Humanoid registered in Sky City, I would have to have a barcode engraved… but I was given additional consideration in addition to my working hours.

“Master asked me to give YN2100’s body as a gift to the human who needs to take care of it. It’s not an order, so I won’t force it. It’s quite a high-end product, right? Wow…don’t cry?”

“…Thank you. AT3550”

They explained that the reason they hired her as a maid was the master’s self-satisfaction to show off to Sky City.

“Also…maybe it was because I was in the same position as YN2100?

Don’t you have a family you should visit instead of Master’s boring Humanoid?”

“I see. I’ll be back. AT3550”

There are a lot of questions and things I need to learn, but for now, I wanted to leave behind the smiles of the friendly secretary-type Humanoid AT3550 and go see my beloved Yuna as soon as possible.

****

“Mom!”

“I went there. Yuna. Did you have a good time at the academy today?”

Master immediately kept his promise to cover all of Yuna’s tuition and living expenses while she was working as a maid at the mansion.

From the moment I signed the contract to the moment I handed over control to the house system and woke up at the end of my shift, they sent people to move Yuna from her dormitory.

It was a very spacious apartment house for living alone. It wasn’t all the same, but the type of furniture that had been confiscated and auctioned off and the layout of the rooms were the same as the house I lived in.

This is the reason why I asked for access to memory data.

There was a warm hamburger with grated carrots on the table.

“My sister with huge breasts came to visit me and said I could live here instead of the dormitory… Really, my boss… Is that right… Mom?”

“Yes. He is a kind and good person.”

My boss… You told me that everyone in the mansion is the Master’s Humanoid, but that’s not wrong since they manage the affairs of the mansion on behalf of the Master.

“Mom really became a robot…a humanoid…? Because of the debt…and because of me…”

“Yes. But it’s okay. As always, if we can live together as usual… Mom is satisfied with that.”

“Uh…Mom…”

The fact that I am Yuna’s mother will never change even if I become a humanoid called YN2100.

First, I explained that she had become YN2100, with all rights as Yura transferred to her… but her facial expression was the same as mine when she was told that the transformation surgery was over.

“I didn’t feel anything strange again. Yuna? Or… should I call you Yuna?”

“How did you do it? Mom?”

…My daughter shed tears as she was saddened by the fact that she had become a humanoid thanks to the consideration of the Master and AT3550.

The reason I went in was because they gave me the same explanation that was difficult to understand even as a YN2100, which had a dramatic increase in accident processing speed, but… it was okay as is.

I received a message saying I could turn off Humanoid OS at the end of each working day if I wanted to.

The moment I understood the content, a smile appeared on my face.

You don’t have to use an honorific title for every person you meet… That means you can confidently go to Yuna’s parent observation classes.

It was not a communication terminal, but a message from AT3550 that had just arrived to a Humanoid named YN2100.

I was even asked, not a request, to stay with my children tonight, as it may be late.

I received consideration again.

“Mom has the responsibility to make Yuna grow up to be a wonderful and wonderful person.”

“It’s late, but I’m making dinner. Is there anything you want to eat?”

I don’t know about other Humanoids… but with the Master’s Humanoid… I felt like everything would work out just fine.

**

“Mom! amazing! Made so quickly! Plus, it tastes better than a restaurant. Better than school lunches!”

“Hehe. Is it worthwhile to be a maid if it tastes better than the school lunch that Yuna said was the most delicious in the world?”

I naturally smiled as I received the best compliment my daughter could give, but I also felt a little cheated.

But is it obvious? I connected to the network and calculated it in milligrams, and I cooked it according to the exact recipe and for exactly the right time.

Still, at this moment, I decided not to think about anything else and engrave the image of Yuna smiling brightly in my mind.

“Please take care of me today as well. AT3550. I’m in work mode again today.”

“That’s right. YN2100. If you need anything, please contact me anytime.”

It’s been about a week since I started working as a maid at the Master’s mansion as a Humanoid.

At first, I was embarrassed and scared, but gradually I began to enjoy the duties assigned to me as the master’s maid and a fixture of the mansion.

I uploaded all the controls to the house system as soon as my shift started without having to wait… but today I changed my mind a bit.

Instead of going into full control mode like yesterday, this time I took on the maid duties myself. It was explained to me that since I was used to the house system, I wouldn’t have a stress reaction.

The results… weren’t bad.

I didn’t have any complaints from the beginning, but I thought it was difficult. So I guess I thought my mind was tired.

However, today, I was not tired even though I blocked my consciousness and did the work myself instead of letting the house system take care of it.

Rather, the purpose of the existence of Humanoids, which were created to be used, seemed to have been fulfilled, and a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction began to build up in my heart.

“You worked hard today too. Are you going to see it again? Oops…mistake. Administrator privileges. YN2100. Switch to corpuscle personality mode. And Humanoid OS is terminated.”

“Thank you. AT3550”

“I’m rather sorry. I would like to send it every day if possible, but not everyone comes in with cleaning skills like YN2100.”

AT3550 is right. I heard that even if you have cleaning skills, if your aptitude is low, your skill level may drop or even disappear.

This was the case with the person hired as part of the Master’s maid work unit.

I was ordered to observe YN2100 cleaning the mansion until he mastered the cleaning skills… AT3550 said he had been transferred all authority and felt sorry for letting me off work earlier than usual.

However, from the beginning, you were considerate so that I could go see Yuna earlier than the scheduled working hours, so this is natural and normal.

****

“Mom! Come on! Did something happen? I seem to be coming back a lot late these days… I wonder if something is wrong!”

“Nothing happened. I just came back from working as a maid. Yuna.”

I sent a message saying it would be later than usual, but I should have explained it properly from the beginning.

Thanks to the consideration of the master and AT3550, I was able to leave work earlier than the end time. Rather, Yuna continued to criticize the Master for being considerate.

It’s not Yuna’s fault, but YN2100’s fault for not explaining it properly.

“When I signed the contract from the beginning, my working hours end now. The reason I was able to come earlier than Yuna was all thanks to the Master’s consideration.”

“Uh…yeah…”

“Yes. Then let’s make dinner. Is there anything you want to eat?”

If you think about it, YN2100 decided that from that day on, the voice output function was not used often.

The number of hours spent working directly as a master’s maid instead of handing over control to the house system has also increased.
