MAID DROID

Good morning, Maria.

Good morning, master.

SERIAL RAPIST CRIME RAPE MACHINE REVEALED!!

I am reporting from the scene of the crime.

A rape incident has occurred in this quiet neighborhood.

It is the third time this month, but a suspect has not been apprehended.

I said, "suspect", but it may not be human.

A witness says the suspect is not human...

It seems like a scary crime is going on.

Yes, master.

...the police advise caution in this area...

We've been alone for a very long time.

Not...

...that I'm dissatisfied.

I quit my job and live the retired life.

And, I have some money saved.

I guess this is the easy comfortable life.

But, you know...

...it'd be more fun if you could move.

I'm sorry, master.

Don't apologize. It's not your fault that the batteries went dead.

But, you know what, Maria?

You and I are...

...a heartbreak.

Maria, do you remember the first time you came to this house?

How many years ago was...

...not years. That was decades ago, wasn't it?

Welcome home, young master.

I will look after young master from today.

I'm T-207...

...Maria.

No. What's this?

I can't free myself!

Ow!

I was still in elementary school and my parents worked far away...

...so they brought you to take care of me.

My parents worked at the manufacturer so they were also product testing.

I don't believe it. What am I to do?

It doesn't taste good?

Young master, you haven't even taken a bite.

I mixed up the salt and sugar.

I'll replace it right away!

Why am I bad at everything I do?

It wasn't all your fault that you were clumsy.

Now that I think about it...

...clumsiness was part of...

...the standard T-207 Maid Droid program.

I, Maria, want to become a maid that can do the job.

You are fine as you are.

Do you mean that?

Even I can be of service?

Does young master need Maria?

Thank you. I'm happy.

May I ask for one more thing?

From today, may I refer to young master as, "master"?

Thank you, master!

You are fine as you are.

Later, I read the manual and realized that was your password.

Maid Droids recognize its master with the password...

...becomes customized...

...and becomes the master's exclusive maid.

I cook by myself, eat by myself, and clean up by myself.

How boring.

Wait a bit.

After I clean up I'll read for you.

What? A bedtime story?

Leave it to me, master.

That's Maria's specialty.

In my A.I. Is stored three hundred of the world's great novels.

And you can append to it!

I can act out one hundred twenty seven different parts in high quality audio.

So "The Brothers Karamazov" is no problem!

Huh?

That's too serious and you can't sleep so something else?

Then what would you like?

Shakespeare?

Or how about... I'Isle-Adam?

What? Pinocchio again?

PINOCCHIO

Old man Geppetto found a talking log...

...and made a doll out of the log.

The doll, named Pinocchio...

...asked of the Blue Fairy...

..."please make me a person".

"If you are brave, honest, and generous, I will grant your wish"...

...the Blue Fairy promised.

Pinocchio tried very hard to be good so that he can become a person...

...but it was very difficult.

Bad friends tempted Pinocchio...

...and so Pinocchio pulled pranks, told lies, and did bad things.

She's in a bad mood.

I heard she put down her dog.

Her dog? You mean Aibo, the Bot-dog?

It's Aibu. A.I.B. U... Aibu.

- Yes. - This June's revised regulations...

...completely prohibits ownership of any current machines.

Commissioner Akagi was an user?

You're slacking off on the investigation!

Just how many manufacturers can make criminal robots?

Yes.

I visited the various companies, but they all deny that their robots can be criminal.

Or course, they would say that.

Do you know Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics?

Was it that robots may not injure humans?

Will not injure humans. Will obey human commands. Will protect itself.

These rules restrict robot behavior.

All the manufacturers say...

...it is programmed into the Artificial Intelligence of all androids.

And that keeps them from crime?

What if they're ordered to harm a human?

Well...

The First Law has priority so it cannot obey such orders.

It seems they stop functioning in such situations.

But these crimes are actually occurring, so one of the manufacturers is lying.

What does CSI say?

There were machine parts at the scene...

...but we can't tell who manufactured them.

You mean they're not genuine parts?

A modified unit or possibly a completely homemade robot.

Who is this idiot otaku?

To create a rape machine.

The manifestation of a resentful man to whom real women don't pay attention.

I'm sorry, master.

In truth, I'm the one that's supposed to bathe you.

It's all right.

You've bathed me for years and decades.

Returning the favor isn't going to do any harm.

Hello? Ueno residence.

Yes. Yes.

A car accident?

When my parents both died, I was still a student.

I inherited this house and enough money for college.

I turned down relatives who said they'd take me in.

I preferred to be with Maria than to live with strangers.

This is sad. This is too sad.

I'm sure my parents are happy that someone cares so much about them.

More than your parents, it's you, master.

Master, you're all alone.

I'm sorry for you.

Thank you, but I'm not alone.

Master?

Because aren't you with me?

To be told such thing...

...makes Maria very happy.

I can say this now, but our life together was tough.

After all, I was going through puberty.

Master?

It's wrong to be lewd.

It's still too early for master.

It was then that...

...the Sex Technology Option for the Maid Droid T-207...

...became available on the market.

I resolved to make it the first thing I'll buy when I grew up and get a job.

But, it didn't go that smoothly.

This is a message.

The product you ordered...

...the Sex Technology Option...

...Stick It In Great...

...Model Number L-101089...

...cannot by incorporated as an option...

...as this unit is a prototype.

Awaiting further orders.

I am remorseful for not being able to fulfill your desire.

Master, what is that?

I bought this ring to give to you.

No. That is too good for Maria.

I am just a maid.

- Master? - Huh?

I think master should have a human wife.

Yeah.

Maybe I'll visit a bride matching service.

What a dirty house.

But the plot is pretty large.

Was it eighteen hundred square feet?

Yes.

How much is eighteen hundred square feet worth in the city?

Fifty million yen? Eighty million?

Maybe one hundred million?

Wow!

Come on. Use your hips.

I know you're a virgin, but can't be a dead lay.

Um.

I've had enough.

What? You went limp?

I haven't come yet.

We were just getting started.
