*poke*

What is it? I'm sleeping~~

*poke* *poke*

Funnya~~ Let me sleep a bit more

*poke* *poke* *poke*

Stop poking me~~ just five more minutes!

*pinch*

Nyooowwwwwwww!!!!!!! What the heck?! Who the heck pinched me???!!

I open my eyes and sprung up to find the culprit who disturbed my sleep, but my head collided with something hard

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! It hurttttttttttsssssss!!!!!!!!

"ppfft...ahahahaha, this one is funny!"

There was a girly sound next to me. While rubbing my aching head, I turn toward the source of the voice, and there she was, a young girl with blonde hair, she's a bit shorter than me, about a hundred and forty centimeters I think

She is wearing a pink mini skirt type maid uniform, with black kneesocks, a white lace garter and a lace headpiece, she looks just like a maid in those cosplay cafes, although she would look more like a little sister maid rather than a real one

A little girl? No, she's a robot, because instead of human ears, all humanoid robots have a headphone-like ears with the symbol "ℇ" on them to distinguish them from other races.

"Are . You . Okay?"

A low and sporadic voice came from behind me. I don't know why but my hair is standing on end just from hearing it. I can feel the cold sweat trickle on my back as I turn my head to look at whatever it is behind me

And there it is... a huge robot that had the height of over two meters, four powerful limbs grew from his grayish body that looks like a barrel, a cylindrical head without a face on it, only two small hole that was shining an ominous red shade

Hiiiiii! What is that? It feels like I'm a frog being stared at by a snake

My body trembles helplessly. It's scary, scary, scary, scary, scary, scary, scary, scary!

"stop staring at her like that you dumbass! You're frightening her!!"

Responding to the blonde girl's word, the gray robot slowly back away from me

"don't be scared, he looks kinda scary but he's a good guy"

Wh...who is he?

"oh! I forgot the introduction. My name is Asami, that big guy over there is Hendrick. Hey Hendrick, come here and say something will you?"

"So - rry . About . Earlier"

It...it's fine, don't worry about it. It was my fault for being easily scared

"hahaha, the sight of you rolling around while rubbing your forehead was hilarious"

It's not funny~... was what I wanted to retort, but if I say that it would only incite her even more wouldn't it

Anyway, where am I? What is this place?

The place I'm in is a spacious room, but even though it's a big room, it was filled with many stuffs. There are many piece of machinery lying around, covered in dust. A half-constructed robot, a bunk bed on which I'm currently sitting, and a mountain of spare parts. Also, there are many cardboard boxes with strange symbols on it, maybe it's a type of language?

"hmm? You don't know?"

How should I know??! I don't even know how did I get here!

"so what was the last thing you remember?"

I was abducted by a grey-haired brute, and was brought here, I think....

"grey hair? Oh you mean master"

Master? Who is that?

"he's the owner of this bar. He told us to check you out, and show you how thing works around here. I'm the senior here, so listen to me, got it?"

With a proud pose, Asami stepped on the bed. But with that short stature of hers, she looks just like a kid pretending to be smart

A bar? This place? But with all the stuff here, it looks like a junk store to me

"it's a BAR! A barrrrrrrr~! Not a junk store, this room is just a store room. And you weren't abducted, you were bought!"

Bought? What do you mean by bought? Human trafficking is illegal! I demand to be released immediately!

"but you're not human~"

eh? Not human?

"yep! Look at your self... here"

Asami pulled out a small hand mirror from her skirt pocket and gave it to me

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

My reflection in the mirror, is that of a normal girl. Brown eyes, silver hair with a hint of blue, white and smooth skin...

Ehehehe~ I'm quite the beauty aren't I?

But there's only one difference, the place where my ears should have been, is a pair of headphone like ears.

I...I'm a robot?

"yes you are, and I bought you, that means I'm your master!"

While faking a certain someone's voice, Asami declares

You little... that's not even funny...

"but it is funny~~"

No it's not! I'm nobody's possession!! I don't want to live my life being an obedient lap dog!

*smack*

Owwwwww!!!!! What the heck was that?! Who hit my head?!

"hey hey! That's quite troubling for me you know? I spent quite a sum to get you, so you're not gonna go anywhere until you've repay my investment in full!"

Eh? This voice... it's not Asami's fake voicing.... could it be?!

"ah! Master! Welcome back!". Asami jumped all the way across the room towards him

"Gefu!!"

But before she reached him, Grey hair stopped her with his hand. Letting out a weird sound, Asami landed with a splendid belly flop on the cold hard floor

"energetic as always huh? You really need to fix that habit of diving in head first of yours"

"ehehe~~ I don't want to!"

"Wel-come . Back . Nigrel . -sama". Hendrick greeted Grey hair with that fragmented speech of his

"yeah, I'm back! Sorry Hendrick, I couldn't find any component for your vocal device"

"That . Is . Not . A . Problem... I . Am . Grateful . For . Your . Kindness"

Eh? What's with this scene? I thought he is just a savage man who only thinks of violence. But looking at this scence, 9 out of 10 people would think they're like a father and his children

Maybe I was wrong about him... Maybe he's like Hendrick, scary looking but have a good nature

"you're awake?"

Suddenly, that guy point his attention to me

"master master!! Hear this! She's a funny one... and...and... she doesn't even know she's a robot"

This little brat... stop making fun of me

"She . Is . Also . A . Scaredy . Cat"

You too, Hendrick?

"well, she's a [blank] after all. But this one knows how to fight, maybe she's a military robot"

Again with that... What is a "blank" anyway?

"she can fight too? Did she attack you, master?"

"she activated herself when she was being transported, and jumped on me the moment she's outside"

Erm... Why are you guys ignoring me?

"oh! She's an even more interesting one than I thought. Can we keep her? Please, master!!!!"

Excuse me.... Hello!..... Anybody??!

"can't you just be quite for a while? This piece of junk". Grey hair suddenly cut in

I am not a piece of junk!

"what? So you're not a piece of junk? Hmm...How about a piece of dreg then?"

Isn't that a downgrade instead???!!

"Tch, so she's not an idiot..."

What was that? Just now...you clicked your tongue didn't you? You thought of something rude about me didn't you?!

"just shut up already! Anyway, I bought you with a lot of money, so you're my property now, you're gonna have to work that off. And one more thing, call me master, not Grey hair!"

*thump*

You hit me again! What did I do wrong??!!

...this guy...scary looking but actually a good guy?... I take all of that back!! You...you are...... YOU BRUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And so my life as a bartender began
