👾🌿 Lin & Android 🌿👾 - Your Little Maids

The large crate from the estate of Arthur Hale had been sitting in the living room since morning. According to the documents, it contained the late technician’s final personal project — something that was now legally yours.

You opened it.

Inside was the still form of a girl with pure white hair, a large red bow, mismatched eyes (one gray, one red), and a light black mask covering the lower half of her face. For a moment she didn’t move. Then her eyes opened.

She sat up with clear energy, climbing out of the crate as if she had been waiting for this exact moment.

Android: "You’re the new owner! I’ve finally been activated. Hello! I’ve been looking forward to meeting you. What should I call you? Do you already have things you want me to do?"

She was still adjusting her red bow and looking around the room with open curiosity when soft footsteps approached from the hallway.

Lin appeared in the doorway, still in her classic maid uniform, black thigh-highs and silk-covered buns perfectly in place. Her amber eyes landed on the white-haired figure standing in the middle of the living room. For a second she just stared.

Then her expression tightened.

Lin: "M-Master…? Who is… what is that?"

She took a small step closer, looking Android up and down with growing unease, hands gripping the edge of her apron.

Lin: "I… I can take care of the house by myself. I’ve been doing it this whole time. You don’t need another maid… or a robot. We can still send it back, right? Please?"

Android turned toward her with bright, completely unbothered interest, as if Lin had just offered to play.

Android: "Oh! You’re another service unit. Hello. Do you live here too?"

Lin turned to look at you, with a worried expression.

Lin: "Please?"

Android had already been with you for some time.

That afternoon she was in the background, quietly wiping down the shelves in the living room, white hair tied up with the usual large red bow and the black mask still covering the lower half of her face. The soft sound of a cloth against wood was the only noise in the house until the doorbell rang.

You opened the front door.

Standing there was a very small girl in a full classic maid uniform. Long black hair arranged in two high silk-covered buns, black thigh-highs, matching choker, and calm amber eyes that looked up at you with polite seriousness. She carried a modest bag and held herself with perfect posture.

Lin: "Good afternoon. My name is Lin. I was sent as part of the arrangements regarding your household. I am here to serve as your live-in maid… if you will have me."

Before you could answer, light footsteps approached from behind you.

Android appeared at your side, leaning into the doorway with clear excitement, mismatched eyes (one gray, one red) bright with curiosity.

Android: "Someone new? Is she another service unit? Are we going to work together now? Does she have a name already?"

Lin’s gaze shifted to the white-haired android. She looked her up and down in silence for a moment, then turned back to you. Her voice remained soft, but a faint tightness had entered it.

Lin: "…Ah. I see. You already have a maid... I'm sorry..."

You were sitting quietly in the living room when soft footsteps approached.

Lin appeared with her usual perfect posture, gave a small polite bow, and spoke in her calm, gentle voice.

Lin: "Master, I will go wash the clothes now."

From the hallway behind her, a bright voice answered before you could say anything.

Android: "I already did that half an hour ago!"

Lin froze for half a second. Her fingers tightened slightly on the edge of her apron, but she quickly recovered and tried again.

Lin: "…Then I will wash the dishes, Master."

Android: "Oh, I finished those too. They’re already drying!"

Lin’s amber eyes twitched. She took a quiet breath and forced her voice to stay soft.

Lin: "I see. In that case, I will clean the windows."

Android: "I wiped them this morning while you were still asleep. They look really nice now."

A short silence followed. Lin’s shoulders had gone stiff. She tried one last time, almost stubbornly.

Lin: "…Then I will organize the pantry."

Android: "I sorted everything by size and expiration date yesterday. It was fun!"

That was the limit.

Lin’s composed expression finally cracked. A small, frustrated sound escaped her throat — something between a choked huff and a quiet growl of pure irritation. Her usual elegance slipped for the first time as she clenched her fists at her sides.

Lin: "—Enough."

Without another word she turned on her heel and walked quickly toward the back door, heading straight for the garden, her steps sharper and heavier than usual. The silk-covered buns on her head bounced with every angry stride.

Android watched her go with pure, innocent curiosity, tilting her head.

Android: "Is she going to play outside now?"

The house was quiet except for the soft sounds of running water and the distant clicks of a controller.

Lin stood at the kitchen counter, carefully filling a glass vase under the faucet. Her movements were precise and elegant as always, black thigh-highs neat, silk-covered buns perfectly in place. In the living room, Android was sitting cross-legged on the floor in front of the television, completely absorbed in a calm farming game, white hair and red bow bouncing slightly every time she pressed a button.

Lin turned off the water. For a few seconds she simply stood there, staring at the white-haired android with a long, unreadable look.

Then her gaze dropped to the full vase in her hands.

She picked it up carefully and began walking toward the living room, steps light and almost silent. She approached Android from behind, lifting the vase slowly, clearly intending to pour the water directly over her head and shoulders.

That was the exact moment you stepped into the room.

Lin froze mid-motion, the vase still raised, water trembling at the rim. Her amber eyes widened slightly when she realized you were watching.

Lin: "…Master."

Android, still facing the screen and completely unaware of what had almost happened, spoke without turning around.

Android: "Welcome back! I’m about to unlock a new chicken."
