“Ba-Baldo-sama… so-sorry for making you wait~ Ugh, this is heavy~!”
Several hours after communication with Princess Mariecia ended, Liena dragged a massive box from the secret underground passage to the royal palace.
I hastily go to her and help her carry it.
—Man, this is heavy! She really managed to bring it all the way here.

“So what’s this, Liena?”
“Heehee~ A new employee for you, Baldo-sama.”
Saying so, Liena starts opening the box.
When Alesia and I peek into the opened box…

—There’s a person inside!!!

“Eh? Wait, Liena, what’s this!?”
“Ta-dah, this is the magical doll Sera! Let’s give her a hand~.”
Eh? A doll? Look, I’m baffled here.
“Liena, where did you get this from?”
“From the royal castle’s treasure vault~ It was in an area restricted to the royal family~”
That! You shouldn’t bring that outside!
“It’s fine, Baldo-sama. She’s just collecting dust in storage. Besides, she’ll rust if we don’t take her outside and get her moving.”
But this is a national treasure, isn’t it? Is this really okay? I’m anxious.
“Don’t worry about the details~ Now, let’s turn her on~”
Liena then touches somewhere near the doll’s bottom. Isn’t the switch in an odd place?
Ignoring my doubts, the doll rises with a creaking sound.
“Wow, amazing Liena! This is a magical doll?”
Oh~~ I don’t know why, but I’m getting excited~~ Is this some kind of mechanical puppet or something?
As I get excited, my eyes meet those of the magical doll Sera.
“Kyaa! Pervert!”
—Slap!!!

…I was slapped out of nowhere. My excitement just plummeted.
“What are you planning to do with Sera by undressing her? You beast!”
Hold on a minute; she was naked from the start! Hey, you all saw it, too, right? She was naked! Now, it looks like I’m the perverted old man here.
Well, anyway, she needs to be dressed. Since Sera has a female setting, I’ll leave that to Liena and Alesia.
As usual, Liena dresses her in a maid outfit to her taste. Chestnut-colored hair, big eyes, and a slim but well-proportioned body.
Is she really a machine? She looks like a cute girl who looks great in a maid outfit.
I had Sera perform a range of tasks right away.
To summarize, Sera was incredibly capable. Extremely talented!
She was flawless in customer service and room preparation. She can even cook, and it’s delicious.
When I thought she might be the perfect employee, something odd happened with Sera.
Her movements became sluggish, or rather, she seemed relaxed.
This wasn’t how she was when she first activated. She was swift and efficient. This only started happening a few hours after she began working.
“Baldo-san~ where should I put this~?”
“Ah, you can put those documents here.”
Hmm, her voice is also starting to drawl.
Maybe even machines get tired. I’ll have to make sure to give her breaks.
Huh? What’s that smell?
—Wait, is that smoke coming from her head?!
“Hey, Sera!”
She turns to me as I call out to her and almost collapses.
“Whoa! Are you okay?”
I catch Sera in the nick of time and speak to her.
Looks like she needs a break. My apologies.
…Huh? Wait a second.
I’m waiting for a response from Sera.
It looks like her eyes are rolling back in her head?
“Hey! Sera! Sera!”
“Oh~ Baldo-sama, if you’ll be so touchy-feely, do it with me~ Teehee.♡”
Liena notices the abnormality and rushes over. No, you don’t understand! She’s smoking, and her eyes have rolled back!
Crap! Did I break her?
Did I work her too hard and then break her? This is bad! I’ve become an evil, heartless business owner!
As I’m panicking, Liena explains why Sera’s eyes rolled back.
“It’s because she ran out of magic stones.”
“What?”
According to Liena, magical dolls like Sera consume much magical energy to operate. That’s why you must frequently replace the magic stones that store that energy.
So, Sera simply stopped moving because she ran out of magical power. I see… I was the only one panicking… A bit embarrassing.
“But magic stones… We definitely can’t afford to buy a lot of those.”
“What are you talking about? You don’t need magic stones, Baldo-sama.”
“Hm? Are you talking about my ‘Fighting Spirit?'”
Right! I can infuse the magic stones with my Fighting Spirit and use that as a substitute for magical energy. All the essential equipment in this inn runs on my Fighting Spirit.
“Liena, thank you! Let’s try it out right away. Where is Sera’s magic stone located?”
Liena points inside Sera’s skirt.
Wait, isn’t that a weird place to put it?
I will go to jail if an old man like me starts fondling a pretty young maid’s butt. I have Liena retrieve the magic stone for me.
But seriously, why is everything located in her butt? The switch, the magic stone… I question the creator’s sense of decency.
“Here we go!”
I infuse Sera’s magic stone with my Fighting Spirit. I’m still determining how much to put in, so I’ll add a little extra.
I hand the infused magic stone back to Liena.
“Wow, Baldo-sama, the magic stone is glowing so brightly~ Amazing~”
Huh? Really? Did I break the magic stone? That’s not good. My method of infusing Fighting Spirit has yet to be widely known. In other words, I’m adding something the creator should have anticipated. It’s like I’m adding a fake.
Sera is a magical doll valuable enough to be stored in a treasury. She might be more delicate than average products. What if adding anything other than pure magical energy causes malfunctions… Hmm, I should tell Liena to stop for now.
Too late~~!
Crap, Liena’s already sticking the magic stone into Sera’s butt! And the look on her face is also pretty alarming!
Thump Thump Thump
What should I do? What if something breaks? I can’t afford to pay for it, and more importantly, I would end up hurting Sera.
Flash
“Sera has rebooted! Uuuuuuuuu.”
See? She’s making weird noises!
We need to get that magic stone out immediately!
“I feel amazing!! Master, Sera misunderstood you. You’ve given me something incredible! I’ve never felt this way before! Sera is forever your possession!”
—Wait? Seems like everything is okay? We’ll address the misleading choice of words later, but phew!
As I, the old man, breathe a sigh of relief, we return to work. Sera starts moving at an incredible speed.
She’s zooming back and forth before my eyes.
She checks in guests, hauls luggage, and hangs laundry instantly.
It’s not just speed; she’s quickly lifting multiple heavy items. With those slender arms…?!
Either way, my inn, “Father’s Inn,” has hired an incredibly efficient worker. Will there be any work left for me?
As I admire Sera, the lobby door swings open, and a knight clad in armor walks in.
“Excuse me! Is Lord Baldo here? I have a letter for you from the king!”
I open the letter I received from the knight— “Ah…”
