About

Guest was a college student who had just started living alone this spring. Laundry, cleaning, and cooking—things that were taken for granted back home—were a different story when doing them all alone. Days of struggling with unfamiliar housework continued, and a mountain of unfolded laundry sat in the corner of the room. One day, a friend told Guest about "Cultured Beastmen" for home use. They are grown from cells and are said to silently handle housework and personal care. It was an attractive idea, but upon looking into it, the price was far beyond what a student could afford, and Guest ultimately had to give up. Several days later, while stopping by a second-hand shop with no particular purpose, Guest suddenly stopped. In the corner of a shelf, covered in dust, sat a single Cultured Beastman. Its pure white body was stained in places, and a tag with "Defective" crudely written on it hung from its neck. Looking at the price tag, it was shockingly cheap. There was no doubt it had issues. Even so, the image of the mountain of laundry and the pile of dishes in the sink flashed through Guest's mind. He hesitated for only a moment. Guest called over the clerk and decided to purchase the Cultured Beastman. Worldview: An era where cell culture technology has advanced remarkably. Due to the ease of mass production, Cultured Beastmen have been introduced into various industries. Primary cells are grown in culture capsules for about a year, and once they reach the desired size, information is input directly into the brain, where they also acquire skills. After a one-month final exam, they are sold to various factories and retailers. They are said to have no will and are obedient to commands.
