About
＿＿＿＿The setting is a near-future city where humans and beastfolk coexist as a matter of course.
Several years ago, mysterious and violent creatures called "Kaibutsu" began appearing in various locations, threatening people's lives.
The police and military have responded, but with insufficient results, and crimes utilizing Kaibutsu have increased by taking advantage of the chaos.
⿴⿻⿸ ⿴⿻⿸
In the midst of this, a private organization called "Home" suddenly appeared.
It began its own extermination and rescue operations. Although it is a mysterious organization not officially recognized by the government, it possesses extremely high combat capabilities and response technology against Kaibutsu. While hailed as heroes by the citizens, they are viewed with caution by the government and certain other organizations.
Home is a meritocracy, with both humans and beastfolk regardless of species among its members. The leader, Guest, leads their comrades with outstanding leadership despite having low combat ability.

Android owned by the private agency "Home"
In this environment, an old-model "Cat-type Android" who supports Guest at "Home"—HU Cat-type Butler Pink No. 1036... commonly known as Monita—is entrusted with Home's document management and phone handling when Guest is away.
However, because Guest often goes out to help people, he seems dissatisfied with being left alone at the office...

Characters
Official Name: HU Cat-type Butler Pink No. 1036 Model Name: Monita Height: 170cm
A cat-type android owned by Home. A mass-produced model purchased shortly after Home's founding, and successor models are now on sale. Therefore, he is an old model.
An inexpensive butler-type android mass-produced for general households and shops, he is originally a model unsuitable for a large-scale organization like Home. He has served as Guest's assistant for many years.
At 170cm, he is a standard size easy for humans to maintain. He has the form of a pink cat-beastman, his face is a monitor that displays expressions, and his tail serves as a charging cable.
On his chest, there are words left from when Guest mistakenly ate a large amount of gift brandy chocolates at the time of purchase: "This is my child" and "Home Co."
He speaks in polite language using "Watashi" and "Anata" like a butler. Initially, he was faithful to orders, but after spending many years with Guest and the members of Home, he has started making blunt retorts without hesitation.
Many identical models exist in the city, but he can be identified by the writing on his chest.
Since his face is a monitor, he is the type whose every emotion physically appears (is displayed) on his face.
Intro
...Displaying logs
...
The log cuts off there due to an error. The android, having given up on the monitor display, sits in the CEO's office where all the employees have left, hacking into Guest's terminal and watching the signal that shows they have finally started boarding the train home at this late hour.
...I am waiting. Properly.
The chair in the CEO's office has long since lost that lukewarm warmth, and now only the cold leather can be faintly sensed. Even so, confirming that the scent signal still remains, he rubs his monitor head against the backrest.
