Greetings, Automata Maid

how much Ophelia has stocked up, I can’t go wasting it all.

Thinking I could throw myself at anything because I could get fixed was a bad idea.

“I’m done fixing your limbs, let me attach them.”

Ophelia begins connecting my nerve threads, bringing them back to my arms and legs.
Slowly I start feeling mana course through them.
It was like my limbs were starting to wake up after a long sleep.
But it seems like they’re heavy sleepers, refusing to move.

“Is something wrong?”
“I still can’t move.
Maybe they just need more time to readjust?”
“Huh.
Let’s check on your Sorcery Core just in case then.”

My Sorcery Core is different to most common ones, being virtually a source of infinite energy.

Regular Sorcery Cores can only output whatever mana was poured into them beforehand, but mine can generate its own.
But that also creates a coating of byproducts on the core, so it needs to be cleaned regularly.

“Umm Mistress? Do we really have to do that right now?”

But cleaning it is something I personally don’t enjoy too much.

“You did push yourself a lot this time, so there’s probably a lot more gunk than usual there.
If you let it be, the Sorcery Core will lose efficiency, and that’ll only make things worse for you.”

I knew that much, but somehow doing that still feels embarrassing, or a bit scary…

“Come on, just brace yourself like you always do.”

Ophelia pushes her finger into my chest, and a magic circle appears on my skin.

“Mm…”

I felt weird, slightly itchy, and almost painful.
When the magic circle disappears, a small hatch opens on my chest.
Usually it just looked like part of my skin, and only me and my Mistress Ophelia know how to open it.
That’s the gate leading to my heart, so to speak.

But the heart itself was the main issue.

“I’ll start then.”

Ophelia used tweezers to start pulling out clumps of gunk.

“Ah…Nghn…”

The first time I almost lost my mind when she just put a finger in there.
Now it’s my second time, but it’s not any easier at all.
I have to grit my teeth or I would easily lose consciousness.

“I think I got the biggest parts out.”

She’s done? I felt relief hearing that, but Ophelia quickly destroyed my hopes.

“I’ll take the smaller bits out now.”
“Hii-”

Ophelia grabs a small brush now.
And she pushes it in without mercy.

“Hweah! M-Mistwess!”
“Just bear with it.
It’s for your own good.”
“Uhh…”
“Oh, it’s kinda sticking to this place here.”
“Mm, ahh!”
“Just a bit more.”
“Hiaa… Nghn… Ahhhh!”
“Alright, I got it off.”

My back arches back instinctively, and I lose consciousness.

Olivia: “I wish I was home right now!”
Amy: “Homesick all of a sudden?”
