Chapter 3 - The Maid

Fizzi who run into the waiting corner was in awe. Only when he put the kitten on the table he catches a breath and makes deep sigh. "Buddy, I am not sure about this company anymore. Its look like discovering you name will be a little strong cafe to me. Additionally I hope that the maid itself will don't pull out in honey voice a line: 'Hi da~arling. Hi swe~ety.'" He make a desperate smile at that mental image, but then glanced at kitten's knapsack. "Don't you have with you some clues that will be a helpful hint? Maybe a family photo will help."

The little one rejoiced and clapped his paws. The next moment he pull out from the bag a small photo album of A6 size.

.

There was no point to hesitant, so the both of them began exploring the pictures in it.

On the first picture; was a beautiful fox lady, siting on expensive armchair with noble expression on her face and unexpectedly large fluffy tail. It was so big and fluffy that it nearly looked like it was a combination of nine normal sized fox tail pressed together to save space. Her clothes resonate something that a fox goddess will wear to be easy distinguishable from others.

Fizzi was amazed. "Wow, this lady looks like she used to handing out orders to common folks like a noble lady. This one is you mommy? I don't know why, but just by looking at that photo, my heart jumped by joy, as if it was a spell. What a mystery. Are you sure this photo is not enchanted by something?"

The kitten spread its paws to the sides again, pulling up his shoulders, to show id don't have idea. In other hand, he put his paw on his chest near to heart to show that looking at that photo evoke feeling in him.

.

They turn to next photo. On this one was Fizzi in front of speed racer/ fancy 'Go-Kart', whose colors and motives oddly matched the Furtrap appearance. The pilot was proudly standing in a victorious pose, with one foot on that cart and one paw aimed to the sky. It was almost as if he had just win the race.

The withe cat gets suddenly confused. "Hey. I dint remember doing something like this."

But as soon the Calico looked at the photo his tinny eyes go sparkly with pride, as when you get looking at you hero or idol, when they are on roll.

.

On the third photo; was that fox lady siting on her 'Go-Kart', smoking from long pipe, like some madam from fine establishment. She looked kind of unhappy; it was almost as if she had just lost the race.

.

They turn on the fourth photo in this album; which displays those two racers sitting on same table in some restaurant, having kind of romantic supper.

.

And on the Fifth one; both of them has hanging around on some after party. Both of them seemed to have a good time, as the two make fun pose for the photographer.

Furtrap silently stare at the photo thinking hard to remembering where he saw this woman. He was so thunderstruck, that he starts valuating the Photoshop high quality work.

The little kitten has stared patiently at petrified Fizzi face, and tilled his head.

.

Both of them dint realize that their maid waitress finally showed up. It was Savii - Fizzi's Robo-Neko assistant, DJ, and caregiver bot, about his size. She normally act and sound like walking ink printer, or calculator with advanced AI to simulate basic emotions. Normally she was unable to distinguish live Fizzi from his dakimakura. [Waifu pillow. Full body hug pillow that have picture of Fizzi's full body.] And she was wearing a cute maid waitress uniform.

But from the first glace she seemed different. She seemed like she is not just some doll, or expensive web browse AI assistant in body of cat person automaton… But a person full of (life?) and (emotions?), merely like some playable character.

But currently, she looks like some live girl perfectly cosplaying that robot. Because this Savii have human class expression that tells story about her embarrassment. Her stare towards barman, combined with insulted expression and body language with her hands protecting her but; speak clearly that somebody offended her after delivering an encouraging slap on her but.

Due this; she dint pay much attention to where she going and dint observe who will be her next master. But she stop automatically when she was near them. She closed her eyes, turning her head to front fixing her posture and with deep silent sigh she drop the 'depression?' from herself, as she mentally prepared serving her new customer.

.

With still closed eyes and proper posture of maid in service she call out for her hew new master. But her voice was not something harsh that you will find on printer or elevator. Her voice was (melodic?), as if she leveled up; to (Savii 2.0) and become 'Vocaloid'. [singers with mechanic voice] "My master, sorry for waiting. How can I be helpful today?"

Fizzi snap from his petrification, stopped stating at the photo and turn around with question on his face. "Hatsume Miku?" [Famous Vocaloid and official mascot of Crypton Future Media.]

.

Robo-maid immediately recognized that voice and in panic scare jumped, nearly short-cutting herself launching random sparks around. As her scared eyed open wide full at withe (cat-girl?), she stammered lines: "Fi,-- fi,-- FIZZI??!! W,-- what are you do,-- do,-- doing here??!"

Her panic mod make Furtrap to scare jump a little to the point he start worrying about her. "Wow, wow. Chill out Savii! Okay? Take a deep breath and slow down! It's not that I followed you here or something like that. It's a random encounter. A happenstance!" He pause for a few seconds, giving her time to calm down and process this information. "But I have so many questions right now. What are you doing here anyway? And why you sound so different? Its not like you hit a puberty or something like that. I mean you look like someone wooden dream come true." [Pinocchio - a wooden doll who wished to become a real boy.]

.

But the waitress was avoiding the question, sweating heavily, hardly keeping proper posture of maid waitress and not keeping the eye contact. "Oh, its nothing. Just some seasonal flu. I was shouting too loud for too long, that my voice altered as a result. But I am okay now. Fizzi, how about you?"

The subject, for which one she was designated assistant, (and a supposed real master?), was now on alert. He can tell that even 'if something weird' is going around, the person in front of him was indeed his caregiver bot. He never imagines that she will evolve to the point, that she will be capable to lie. But he was newer a person to push others so he nodded. "Uhm! Oka-aaaay... I am just here with buddy on a noble quest, to find his name." He pointed over the calico head where blank name bar appeared.

The little one cheerfully wave at the waitress in panic mode.

.

The nerved out maid, hesitantly let her worried (stare?) go from her real master, and looked at the kitten. Especially her gaze aimed at the block of tickets in calico possession. Then her eyes widened, with the legendary woman sparkle. "Coupons!! A lots of coupons!!" She froze in staring pose so hard, one should thinking that her operating system finally crashed, and need to reboot. Then she awake, and curiously looked at silver withe furry the way as if she was plotting something. "Soo… you two are here together, right? Then is settled." She knelt down. No! She goes down on her knees. She sit on her feet, and bow down so much, that her forehead touched the floor. "Young master, as I am under master Fizzi patronage, and in indebted to the great Mistress; please let me be your personal maid at full time arrangement. So I can fulfill my role as caretaker."

The Furtrap was surprised, from what he saw. His personal bot has never been so devoted before. "Savii, listen! I don't know what's got into you, but I meet this fella only today. We are hanging out in order to find his name. But if you are here, then I need your help. I am currently stuck at this photos and I need from you to analyze them to find what going on here."

Meanwhile the small kitten jumped from desk down onto the floor and approached her. He head-pat the maid with his small paw. When the girl raised her head, she looked like she will go down with tears of joy. And the calico offered her a hug, which she accepts.

.

As Savii stand up, holding the kitten dearly in her arms, she finally looked at the picture in photo album. "Oh right, that's mistress Kurama. That's photo is from the race after party. After multiple unpredictable twists, you unexpectedly win the though battle, when the track champion suddenly was not in his best shape." Suddenly she blushed. "Now I remembered, that I have been tricked to wear something really embarrassed." As she tries to not think at that memory, she returns her attention on Fizzi. "What, shall I analyze? If you want from me to find her location, I am telling you in advance that I am unable to do it. I already tried that and she has this 'Protection spell' around her that don't allow me to do. The best idea is to contact her office and ask for an appointment with her. But she's you girlfriend isn't she? Or are you truly break out and only now you trying to fix it up?" Her mood went down as a brick tossed onto river. "Well-- the incident was pretty serious-- as other things that happened... In some ways, it was a complete fiasco." She went silent full of embarrassment as she looked away.

Fizzi was confused and lost. "Hold on second! What?!!"

.

That reaction catches Savii attention, so she glared at the little one. "Does he dont't know?" As the kitten tried with gestures to say 'yes?', she start to wondering. "They don't know… They really don't know… That's why no one come..." And she realize something. "Wait… So, I am the only one who knows? Then this knowledge answers everything." Fizzi tries to prompt her to explain, but she gives him a long deep look, as she was studying a specimen. Then, she picked up her words safely/ carefully, almost as if she were trying to maneuver him into an agreement. "So my dear friend Fizzi,-- do you desire, to catch this mystery by its tail? To get some answers?" When she received his hesitant 'yes' she looked at the calico. "And I assume it's even fine for mistress Kurama, I am right?" The kitten gives her the 'issuing order letter' for Fizzi, and she read it nearly instantly.

.

A Cash register cinch echoed through the hall. It was the event sound, when present cash register has opening his money safe deposit, to in normal circumstance to receive/ store the payment from transaction. Or more precisely it was the sound of Savii to sold herself to the Fizzi task. Ehm... To offer her services for the noble quest.

[*Savii the battle maid: joined the party. By sold out.*]

Now she was full of zeal. "The Mistress blessed this quest. Then there is nothing to worry! I will do everything that's in my power to make this task successful." On her face was for moment a hint of side intention. She acted nearly as crazy priest or zealot battle monk. "The Holy Purpose itself justifies the means used to achieve it. Yes, yes-- foremost first, we need those two main witnesses to make the testimony."

.

She put the kitten back on table. "Young master, it's time to learn the basic of how to use these coupons. But first, I must ask if that's a magic knapsack which you have on your side. If yes, then try to look onto it and find a book about summoning a 'Yokay' [demon] or something similar. Maybe it's called 'grimoire' to summon demos, familiars or something like that.

The calico cat give looks at the ticket book on the table and then handover her the entire brooch of tickets as a sigh he entrust them to her with full faith in her.

She freeze for a few second, hesitating to take them, with a guilty expression as if she doing something bad. Clearly she must know, how much power the little master just letting go from his grasp. But she quickly equip that item on her clothes, putting it onto pouch at her waitress work belt, like it was some fancy way how to wear a deck of game cards and in cool way how to draw them out. She honorable bow as knight in front of her king. "As you wish my young master. I will use them wisely."

Then the kitten search through his bag, until he pulled out 'that' book [grimoire] which was like twice size that the little calico. He put that book so high up over his head that it look as it was a fan sign slogan on concert or sport event. Suddenly it was so heavy that he lost balance and there was danger that he will triple and fall down.

.

So she grabbed that heavy book from his paw. "Just give me a moment young master. I will summon them."

Fizzi was skeptical if she even know what is she doing. Or... if is even possible for a robot Neko maid girl, to summon anything else that freshly print pay bill or invoice, from under her skirt while making a printer sounds. Or 'Roomba' from the corner of the room. [robotic vacuum cleaner]

[Notes, theories, and amiss explanations]

A grimoire (also known as a "book of spells" or a "spell-book") is a textbook of magic, typically including instructions on how to create magical objects like talismans and amulets, how to perform magical spells, charms, and divination, and how to summon or invoke supernatural entities such as angels, spirits, deities, and demons.

Fun fact about employ contract termination because "girl is getting married". Certain goddess [employee on reincarnation department] make a fun from certain boy hurting his pride, so he chose her as the cheat item that he will bring to the new world. In single minute they both were isekai-ed as if the upper ups just waited for a reason for which to kick her out. She was not happy but the one who send them off, had an (angelic?) smile.
