Right now I'm going home. I don't mean to brag but everyone's eyes on the streets are on me. They must be admiring my handsomeness, right? Haha, as if! There are are certainly looking in this direction but not on me but on the little girl walking with me hand-in-hand with a maid costume on. Yuko's experiment required Trichia to learn of society as a normal person, so he forced her on me.

(HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO EXPLAIN THIS TO MY FAMILY!? Mom will definitely kill me when she sees me bringing a little girl home and moreover, to ask mom to have her live with me? I'm coming to meet you in heaven, grandpa and grandma!)

"Rota, why is everyone looking at us?" asked Trichia without the slightest of expression.

By the way, for those of you who have forgotten, my name is Rota Kigand. It hasn't been mentioned for a while so I thought I should remind you, just in case.

"Well, people don't usually wear maid costumes, unless maybe if they're cosplaying."

"Maid costume? Are you referring to what I am wearing?"

"Yeah. Its not something you wear everyday."

"But big sisters wear it everyday."

"Big sisters? If you're talking about Maria and the others, then its because their Master is a pervert and forces them to wear it everyday" saying that, I had a hearty laugh in my mind.

"Master? Yuko?"

"Yeah Yuko's their master."

"Why is he their master?"

(whoa. This one's a curious fella, isn't she?)

"Well.. maybe because they live in his house, I guess?"

"So is Rota going to be my master?"

"........"

(wait wait! Its not time to feel good about a little girl calling me master! If someone hears it, I'll definitely be arrested!)

"ahem.. No I'm not your master. There's a difference between him and me."

"difference?"

(ugh! Why does she ask so many questions!?)

"yeah..... Because.. Ummm..... Oh yeah, because he's a pervert!"

"Oh."

(looks like her curiosity if finally satisfied. Sorry to do this to you, Yuko. Your sacrifice will not be in vain. *evil laugh*)

And during our chat, we had already reached my house and meanwhile, I had already thought up a story for what to tell my mom.

I rang the bell and shouted "I'm home!"

There no actual reason for shouting like that and I know I could've just rung the bell, but I used to do it when I was little and its kinda become a habit now.

"I'm home!", Trichia shouted.

"What? Why the hell are you shouting?" I looked at her with a surprised face.

"I just did what Rota did." saying that, she tilted her head while looking at me.

(Ahh.. Why is she so cute?)

"Its okay", with that I patted her head which had fake hair but felt unnaturally real.

My sister came bursting through the door "I heard a girl's voice?"

My sister is 2 years older than me and in her third year of university. You must be thinking that the age and year of study don't match, right? Well, my sister is also a genius and skipped a few grades, but obviously not to the level of Yuko.

As my sister glanced at Trichia, she lifted her skirt a little and bent her knees as a greeting and bowed her head.

(What the hell did Yuko mean "she knows basic etiquettes"? DON'T TEACH HER SOMETHING FROM THE LAST CENTURY!)

"Nooo! I knew it. It was only a matter of time. You finally kidnapped someone!" said my sister with obvious overacting.

(why does this scene give me a sense of deja vu?)

I ignored her and went inside with Trichia and my sister followed.

"Mom's not home?" I asked while heading to the living room.

"Nah. She went to the market just 10 minutes ago." my sister replied while curiously looking at Trichia.

"Is she a robot?" asked my sister while shifting her gaze to me.

"Huh!? How did you know?" 

"She has heavy footsteps. Either she weighs more than a hundred kilos or you picked up a girl who has only started walking recently. And I doubt an idiot like you would find someone like that in today's society. Moreover, you forgot the most important thing."

"What?"

"She's wearing a maid outfit."

(Crap! I completely ignored that simple fact!)

"Looks like Yuko's newest model." said my sister while looking over Trichia.

"You know something about it?"

"Yeah. I remember him saying something like that a few months ago."

"What? You guys talk to each other?"

"We exchange a couple of e-mails from time to time. Yes."

Damn! How come I never knew!?

"Rota. Who is this?" Trichia finally spoke after watching our foolish act.

"Oh yeah, I completely forgot to introduce you two. This is my sister. She's 2 years older than me." I said while pointing at my sister "and this is Trichia. She's umm.. Yeah, how old are you Trichia?"

'12"

(hmm.. I guess that's how much Yuko programmed her with.)

"What did you mean, I'm a robot?"

(Oh shit! She's not supposed to know that!)

"We're.. kidding obviously. Don't take it seriously. Hahaha..ha" I tried to laugh but what came out was pretty awkward.

"We were doing a little skit to entertain our guest. Hope you liked it." my sister probably realised something was amiss and said confidently.

*clap* *clap* *clap*

Trichia did a small applause. 

(Looks like she believed it.)

I looked at my sister who was doing a little bow. Today, the respect I had for my sister increased a bit.
