Electronic Emotions(Completed)

1

Asano Gakushū is a twenty six year old young man who works long gruelling hours at his father's school as a teacher for loud obnoxious brats. It's not that he hates his job as a teacher, he loves it really, it gives him joy to teach his students

He could do without the giggling teenager girls trying to become his favourite though.

From a young age, he knew he was handsome. Blessed with alluring violet eyes, silky strawberry blonde locks and a killer smile, he was used to being adored and wanted. As annoying as it gets, he has to put up with it all.

He was at work and scrolling through his email. He already finished the work project and was just going through his newsfeed. He noted the many young woman who wanted to be sugar babies for successful men like him. All women wanted was a cash cow.

He looked at the ads on feed, and noticed a particular Ad. Tired of searching for love but always coming back empty handed? Are you sick of returning home to an empty and dark house? Get an AI spouse!

The thing is, as successful as Gakushū is, he has bad luck with romance.

He flipped through his cellphone. His contact list only had women that he dated once or was a booty-call. All of the women he dated always thinks he is a two faced asshole or expects him to put a ring on their finger after three dates.

"Why not try this for a change?" He thought. He could always just return the robot if he didn't like it.

He typed his banking information and preferences. He clicked on all of the options that he wanted in a wife.

Must be: Good cook, able to do chores, fit body, mischievous, likes to play pranks, listens to me, submissive

He also selected the rush delivery option to his apartment. The package would be delivered in two days.

Two days later

Knock knock

Gakushū was sitting in the living room solving a puzzle whilst listening a slasher horror movie played in the background. The protagonist was screaming for his life--typical, it was just background noise for his quiet life.

"Moshi Moshi!" he heard the delivery man called and knocked on his apartment door. "Special delivery for Asano-san!"

He opened the door to a large wooden crate. After signing the papers needed, he bid the delivery man farewell and pushed the box inside his home.

Gakushū pried open the package with an iron bar, revealing inside a 5'7 tall red haired teenage boy wearing a butler's uniform. It had perfect teeth and striking unusual orangey-yellow eyes that reminded him of the setting sun. "My name is Karma, I'm your mail ordered AI" the AI bowed respectfully.

Gakushū was surprised. He expected a female AI, not a teenage looking male. "Damn it" he cursed. 1,000,000 yen went down the drain(Author: About 8.16326 USD) he had to send the robot back.

"What is your first order for me to do master?" Karma's perfect voice asked. He had bought the most expensive robot he could ask for.

"Just, call me Asano-kun" he was a bit unnerved by a teenager calling him 'master' even if said teenager was actually a robot. "How about, you clean and make dinner"

"Yes Asano-kun" the red haired robot went to work on the cluttered apartment. "What would you like to eat for dinner?"

"Anything available" Gakushū said dismissively.

He watched the robot open the fridge and take out the ingredients. He started to cut the vegetables with perfect precisions, humming as he worked.

After he finished his puzzle and movie, his mouth watered at the smell of Karma's wonderful cooking.

"Asano-kun, your meal is finished, it's miso ramen with eggs and assorted vegetables" the robot placed the dishes down on the table.

Gakushū took one bite and felt like he was floating in heaven, the miso and eggs were perfect, he hadn't had a home cooked meal as good as this before.

"Thanks...what was your name again?" Gakushū felt like an asshole for forgetting his AI's name. At least, AIs can't get angry like normal women do. "Karma at your service Asano-kun" the teen curtsied. "It's a pleasure to serve Asano-kun"

Gakushū felt his heart flutter for a moment. Perhaps he could keep the robot for a short while before returning it.

It would be handy to have someone who can actually cook for once.

And the idea of having someone waiting for him to come home too is pretty nice.
