Chapter 7: The Attendant Doll

When we reached our house, we softly set the doll down on a chair. I started examining her body while she told us more about herself.

“Type B attendant dolls are made by combining metal with organic matter. We are humanoid magic tools whose main duty is to provide assistance to humans in their daily life.”

“A bit like a homunculus then?” I asked.

“I believe most people would consider us more akin to humanoid golems.”

“Oooh, so you’re just like Teto!” Teto chirped up, beaming.

“You said you’re a Type B attendant doll, right? There are other types, then?” I asked next.

“Yes. Type As are made for fighting purposes, Type Bs for assisting humans in their daily lives, and Type Cs for sexual relief.”

As I inspected her body, I couldn’t help but think that its mechanical and thaumaturgical components, including the fake skin covering it, looked much more advanced than I imagined anything from that time period to have been. She was an honest to goodness out of place artifact.

“Lady Witch, do you think you can fix her?”

I hummed. “It’s gonna be a bit difficult...”

“Attendant dolls’ warranty period is only three hundred years. The manufacturer does not provide warranty support for this product anymore. I would recommend purchasing a new attendant doll,” it said, a wry smile on its face.

“That manufacturer died about two thousand years ago. We have no choice but to fix you ourselves.”

I had my Creation Magic, after all. I could easily make the doll’s missing parts with my magic and fix it, little by little.

“I’m gonna need a blueprint for Type B attendant dolls... Creation! Blueprint.”

I naively thought that I could get the plan for an attendant doll with my magic, but when I cast the spell, nothing happened.

“Well, I guess my mana pool is still a little too small to create something from two thousand years ago, huh? Sorry, I’m going to need some time before I can actually fix you,” I told the doll.

If I wanted to have access to this super-technology, I’d need to expand my mana pool some more.

“Why are you apologizing? We attendant dolls do not require thanks or apologies.”

“I’ve heard before that all objects gain a soul on their hundredth birthday.”

In Japanese folklore, we referred to these objects as “Tsukumogami”. And since that doll had survived for two thousand years, I absolutely intended to treat her as if she was a regular human being.

“This phenomenon has already been studied by magic scientists before under the name of ‘ghost theory’. However, attendant dolls all undergo an antimagic treatment, which makes us resistant to the effects of magic. Only 0.01% of attendant dolls can actually develop a soul.”

“But that antimagic treatment gets weaker and weaker as time goes by, doesn’t it? Which means it’s entirely possible for a doll to develop a soul after some time,” I pointed out.

“That would make the attendant doll a defective product. I advise you to find a replacement as soon as possible.”

It was a very mechanical response, but, to me, that doll was still no different from a regular human.
