Chapter 25: An Invitation from the Core
Although the girls earned back the rent owed to tvp on the first day.
However, because it was so popular, the cafe continued to operate on the second day~~
With the experience of the first day, Lonis also slightly adapted to the rhythm of the cafe… In fact, compared to the cafe at C. Academy, the robots were much easier to take care of!
Because these robots didn’t stare at her chest and thighs all the time.
Even if they occasionally glanced, it was basically a normal admiring gaze, without any lewd thoughts.
So Lonis became more at ease, showcasing her best skills as a maid.
“Love, technology, magnet cake with big gears is here~~”
“Thank you very much!”
The dashing Lonis held her head high and chest out, serving delicious lunches to the guests one by one.
…
…
“Su Ling, do we still have memory pearls with love flavor?”
“Let me look… Ah, there are none left!”
“Wuwu, then, shall I make another one?”
“No need, you can use the ‘little idiot’ and the memories from when we enrolled.”
“How can those memories be used? They’ll make everyone act strangely!”
Fearing that Elus would condense her embarrassing past, Lonis hurried towards the kitchen.
…
…
“General Tas, how is it… do you feel the vitality of youth?”
“Indeed, labor is the most joyful! Seeing so many robots returning full of goods is like going back to the past.”
“Mm, living a good life is the most important thing, isn’t it?”
“But we didn’t call Jessica. If she were here too, she would probably feel very happy?”
“It’s alright; there’s still a lot of time ahead. We don’t need to miss this one time and regret it!”
Elus smiled slightly, and something strange seemed to be brewing in her heart~
…
…
And so, everything proceeded in an orderly fashion.
However, Lonis did not expect…
At noon, even the lord of the node city, Corey, came to the maid cafe.
Unlike ordinary people, she wore a black and white maid outfit to blend in with the cafe’s atmosphere… However, compared to the cute Lonis, her tall figure made her look much more alluring.
“Ah… it’s Lord Corey! Welcome!”
“Hello, Nala Lonis! On behalf of myself, I offer my sincerest greetings for your labor.”
“No need to be so polite. After all, my job now is as a server. What would Lord Corey like to taste?”
Even though humans taking care of robots was a bit strange, it could be understood if one imagined them as a new intelligent species.
“Ah, you don’t need to… Nala Lonis, I’m not here to replenish energy at the cafe. After all, I’ve heard you’ve been very busy… I’ve come this time to deliver invitations to all of you.”
“Invitations…?”
“Yes, because the human Highnesses’ previous trial was so spectacular, and this cafe has been so successful. Therefore, the Queen of the Robot Kingdom—Diya Core—has extended an invitation to you all, hoping you can visit the Robot Kingdom’s Royal Capital—Fantasy Dream Sea.”
Corey bowed, making a very polite gesture.
“Ah… I, is that so! Wait a moment, I cannot reply right now, as I must discuss it with everyone!”
“Mm, there’s no rush. And Princess Lonis, even if you refuse the invitation, it’s perfectly fine.”
“Eh?”
“Because we robots deeply respect human will, and Diya Core’s invitation is not to discuss important matters like war, but merely to hope that you can enjoy the benefits of our Robot Kingdom.”
…
…
And so, that’s how things turned out.
After finishing the day’s business, Lonis informed her companions about receiving the invitation.
Upon hearing the name “Diya Core,” General Tas’s body trembled, and he murmured, “Diya Core… is it really that Diya Core?”
“General Tas, what about that Diya Core?”
“Ah… Your Highness the Hero, to be frank! I also lived in the Robot Kingdom for a long time before I learned about Diya Core. She is the founder of the Robot Kingdom and the spiritual leader of all robots. What’s more, during the defense war a thousand years ago, it was she who led most of the robots to pledge their loyalty and stand with humanity.”
“Oh!?”
“It can be said that without her, it would have been difficult for humans to win the war—after all, so many robots fell on the moon as warriors to repel the Yixiu and Supreme civilizations.”
“Such a thing…”
Hearing General Tas’s words, Lonis felt a newfound respect for Diya without knowing why.
Among humans, loyalty is a rather precious quality, but for robots, they have upheld it from beginning to end.
For the past thousand years, robots have lived on the moon, protecting peace for humanity, haven’t they?
Therefore…
“Elus, let’s go to Fantasy Dream Sea! I also want to know what the Robot Capital is like, and if their royal family lives a similar life to ours!”
“Mm, then let’s go the day after tomorrow. By the way, General Tas, please instruct a transport robot to bring these instruments from the cafe as well.”
“Princess, do we have any plans?”
“Mm, of course! Because milk tea pearls are such interesting things, wouldn’t it be impolite of us humans if we didn’t make some to give to Princess Diya Core?”
…
…
—————-
…
…
And so, after three days of operation, the maid cafe was to close.
Since the rent owed to tvp had been repaid, the initial objective had been achieved—but tvp looked at the girls reluctantly, as if unwilling for them to leave.
“Um… do you really not need me to continue accompanying you on your journey?”
“Mm, tvp has already helped a lot. And besides, don’t you have a lot of things to do afterward? You still need to repair cables and prepare for the next rental period.”
“That’s true… I must be self-reliant and not cause trouble for others! However, Nala Lonis, Princess Elus, Princess Su Ling, please accept this at least.”
tvp’s spotlight flickered, and then it took out a bottle of liquid from behind.
“This is a treasured item of mine, found in the ruins of the Moon’s Dark Side. Although it might not be very valuable, please accept it!”
“Ah, we, we are humans, we don’t really need this kind of thing…”
“No, this is not that previous bottle. I specifically asked pm and knew that humans could use it too!”
“Eh?”
“The full name of this seems to be Bubble Dream Bathing Lotion, and it appears to be able to cleanse the body’s impurities.”
“Oh? Then I’ll gratefully accept it?”
“You’re welcome, and I wish all humans eternal happiness and joy!”
After bidding farewell to tvp, the girls officially set off on their journey to the Royal Capital.
General Tas seemed to have something else to do and didn’t accompany the girls… so, just like when they first arrived on the moon, there were only Lonis, Elus, and Su Ling in the group.
However, compared to the transport train they had at the beginning, the vehicle this time was much more magnificent.
Because it resembled a train, lying quietly on the tracks.
But…
Why say “resembled a train”?
Because in reality, this was not an ancient vehicle that moved on wheels, but a transport spaceship that looked like a train!
It could travel in space and was nicknamed the “Galaxy Express.” It was equipped not only with seats for people to rest, but also with bathrooms and dining cars.
“Wow, amazing…”
Sitting inside the train, Zhou Su Ling couldn’t help but exclaim.
Because through the window, she could see the vast galaxy and the brilliantly shining Earth.
The lord Corey, who was driving the train, was also very elegant, like a butler, introducing to the girls:
“Ladies, are you ready? The Galaxy Express is about to depart.”
“Mm, we’re ready.”
“Then, welcome, Human Highnesses, to our Robot’s Miracle City—Fantasy Dream Sea!”
