After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

"So that's how it is... Wow, that's amazing."

……

Su Ling blinked. At this moment, she also felt immense awe towards this machine.

Because this is...

A product born in the pursuit of love?

and so……

"Sister Elusia, let's do our best and let more robots feel love!"

"Okay, Su-ling, keep it up!"

……

Despite the fatigue, the maid café was a resounding success on its first day, thanks to everyone's concerted efforts.

The robots lined up to shop, stretching from the entrance all the way to the other side of the street... almost disrupting traffic and paralyzing the city's transportation system.

TVP played a crucial role in this process, not only providing a lot of raw materials, but also running around with PM to promote the product and attract many customers.

……

Originally planned for an initial trial run of 8 hours, it had to be extended to 10 hours. Afterwards, even the robot TVP was utterly impressed by the girls.

"Humans are amazing! They've almost earned back the rent in just one day."

"Hmph, of course! After all, it's me leading everyone!"

"Ah...ah! Humans are really amazing. Actually, there was a saying a long time ago that robots shouldn't be ruled by humans and should pursue their own independence and freedom. But now that I think about it, it's humans who created robots, so if we robots gain freedom, won't we go astray?"

Looking at the bustling coffee shop, TVP felt a genuine sense of "happiness".

Even on his first visit, he understood that this emotion was extremely rare, something only humans could bring to robots.

"Hehe, TVP, it's enough that you have this idea. Actually, nowadays, we humans don't treat robots as slaves, but as partners... In our team, there's also a robot puppet named White Coconut, isn't there?"

"They're robots left behind on Earth! Are they doing alright?"

"Hmm, they're doing quite well, aren't they? They've even gained amazing powers! TVP, if you ever want to travel to Earth in the future, we humans are always welcome!"

Elusia smiled slightly and extended the invitation to TVP in this manner.

Chapter 25 An Invitation from the Core

Despite this, the girls earned back the rent owed by TVP on the very first day.

However, because it was so popular, the coffee shop continued to operate the following day.

Having learned from the first day's experience, Lonnies gradually adapted to the rhythm of the café... Actually, compared to the café at Seiki Academy, the robots were much easier to take care of!

Because these robots don't keep staring at your chest and thighs.

Even when they occasionally observe, they generally look at each other with perfectly normal eyes and never have any lewd thoughts.

Therefore, Lonnie was quite at ease and used her best skills as a maid.

"A cake adorned with love, technology, and a giant gear-shaped magnet is here!"

"Thank you so much!"

The elegant Lornish held her head high as she served delicious lunches to each guest.

……

……

"Su-Ling, do you still have any Memory Pearls with a Love Flavor?"

"Let me look... Ah, it's gone!"

"Um, then, shall I make another one?"

"No need, just use the little idiot's and my memories from when I entered school."

"How could that have happened back then? It would have made everyone think we were weird!"

Fearing that Elusia would compile her embarrassing past, Lonnie quickly ran to the kitchen.

……

……

"General Tass, how are you... feeling the youthful energy?"

"Indeed, labor is the most joyful thing! Seeing so many robots returning with their full loads makes me feel like I've gone back to the old days."

"Yes, living a good life is the most important thing."

"But I didn't call Jessica. She would probably be very happy if she were here."

"It's okay, there's still a long time ahead. We don't need to regret missing out on one opportunity."

Elusia smiled slightly, seemingly having some strange plan in mind.

……

……

And so, everything proceeded in an orderly manner.

However, Lonnies hadn't expected this...

At noon, even the lord of the node city, Coriway, came to the maid café.

Unlike ordinary people, she was dressed in a black and white maid outfit to fit in with the atmosphere of the coffee shop... but compared to the cute Lonely, her tall figure made her appear much more alluring.

"Ah... it's Lord Coriway! Welcome!"

"Lonnie Nara, hello! On behalf of myself, I extend my sincerest greetings to your hard work."

"No need to be so polite. After all, I'm a waitress now. I wonder what Lord Corivi would like to try?"

While it may seem strange for humans to care for robots, it becomes understandable if we imagine them as a new, intelligent species.

“Ah, no, no… Nara Lonnies, I didn’t come to the café to recharge. After all, I’ve heard you’re all very busy… I’m here to deliver invitations to you all.”

"An invitation...?"

"Well, because the human princes' previous court hearings were so exciting, and this café event was such a success, the Queen of the Robot Kingdom—Dia Core—has extended an invitation to you all, hoping that you can visit the capital of the Robot Kingdom—Dream Sea."

Korevi bowed and bent over, making a very polite gesture.

"Ah... I can't believe this is happening! Wait, I can't answer right now, because I need to discuss this with everyone!"

"Yes, there's no rush. And Princess Lonnie, it won't matter if you decline the invitation."

"what?"

"Because our robots respect human will, and the invitation from the Diya Core is not to discuss important matters such as war, but simply to hope that everyone can enjoy the benefits of our robot kingdom."

……

……

And that's how things turned out.

After closing up shop for the day, Lonnies told her companions about receiving the invitation.

Upon hearing the name "Dya Core," General Tas trembled and murmured, "Dya Core... is it really that Dia Core?"

"General Tass, what happened to that Dea Core?"

"Ah... Your Highness, to be honest! I only learned about the Core of Dia after living in the Robot Kingdom for a long time. She is the founder of the Robot Kingdom and the spiritual leader of all robots. What's even more remarkable is that during the defensive war a thousand years ago, it was she who led most of the robots to choose loyalty and stand on the side of humanity."

"oh!?"

"It's fair to say that without her, humanity would have had a much harder time winning the war of defense—after all, too many robots perished on the moon as warriors in the fight against the Alien and the Supreme civilizations."

"This kind of thing..."

Hearing General Tass say this, Lonnie felt a surge of respect for Diya.

Loyalty is a valuable quality among humans, but robots have consistently upheld this trait.

For thousands of years, robots have lived on the moon, protecting peace for humanity, haven't they?

and so……

"Elusia, let's go to the Dream Sea! I also want to know what the Robot Capital is like, and whether the royal family there lives a similar life to ours!"

"Okay, then let's wait until the day after tomorrow. Oh, and General Tass, remember to commission the transport robot to bring all the equipment from the coffee shop over as well."

"Your Highness, do we have a plan?"

"Yes, of course! Because bubble tea pearls are such a fun thing, wouldn't it be very impolite of us humans not to make some and give them to Her Highness Diya?"

……

……

----------------

……

……

And so, after three days of operation, the maid café was closing down.

Now that the rent for TVP has been paid, the initial goal has been achieved—but TVP looks at the girls with lingering reluctance, as if unwilling to let them leave.

"Um... are you sure you don't need me to continue accompanying everyone?"

"Yes, TVP has been a great help. Besides, TVP still has a lot to do, doesn't it? After all, they still need to repair the cables and prepare for the next rent payment."

“That’s true… I must become strong and stop causing trouble for others! However, Lalonis, Miss Elusia, and Miss Suling, please at least accept this.”

TVP's spotlight flashed once, and then it pulled out a bottle of liquid from behind it.

"These are some of my treasured items, found in the ruins of the Dark Side of the Moon. They may not be very valuable, but please accept them!"
