"What the hell?"

A distant voice summoned me from my dreams.

I tried to move my arms and sit up, but my body did nothing in response.

It felt extremely groggy and heavy, with the texture of the fabric feeling very different to my maid uniform.

Perhaps it was because of the brutal amount of walking I did yesterday, or it could be my injuries.

Wait, no. I'm a fucking robot. Though I'm bionic for no apparent reason, that still does not explain my paralysis.

I jerked my eyes open, and in front was the silhouette of a human.

Fuck, I need contacts.

The silhouette was a familiar one.

But I can't quite put my finger on it.

[???]: "36? What the hell are you doing here?"

He seemed to be sharing my confusion.

[G36]: "Wait a fucking second, what the fuck?"

I raised a brow and squinted my eyes.

[???]: "36! I'm Heiden, you're commander."

Oh shit.

Commander looked confused.

[Heiden]: "I thought you slept in your room?"

[G36]: "You weren't here when I went to sleep, so I opted to leave a bedded room for you."

He pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed.

[Heiden]: "36... it was dark and I was too tired to notice you on the settee. Plus, orders were orders. I didn't expect you to be here."

He said while carefully removing himself from my body, averting his gaze in the process.

I subconsciously shielded my breasts.

But he was too slow.

[Kalina]: "AYE! WHAT THE FUCK!"

We snapped our heads up.

To find three pairs of eyes staring at us.

"..."

It was C-MS that broke the thick silence.

[C-MS]: "What happened?"

AK-74M was struck with a perplexed surprise.

[AK-74M]: "Can dolls even do that?"

Oh no oh no no no no no no no..

[G36]: "Listen. It's not what-"

I desperately tried to intervene, but was cut off by a Kalina shaking in fury.

She pointed a very menacing and accusing finger.

[Kalina]: "YOU MONSTER! T-DOLLS AREN'T SEX DOLLS!"

Gasp.

Oh fuck.

In the midst of all this, Commander Heiden was surprisingly calm.

He responded to her accusations with a flat look.

[Heiden]: "Don't come asking me for your bonuses this month."

At that, Kalina's attitude swayed from one end to the other.

All traces of anger were gone, and instead replaced by a rather sincere looking grin.

[Kalina]: "Actually, I take back my words. The commander's orders are higher than everything else, right..?"
