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—felt completely different when doing them 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 mentioned the existence of household "Cultured Beastmen." They are grown from cells and are said to silently handle housework and personal care. It was an attractive prospect, but upon looking into it, the price was far beyond what a student could afford, and Guest had no choice but to give up. Several days later, while stopping by a second-hand shop with no particular goal, Guest suddenly stopped. In a corner of a shelf, covered in dust, sat a single Cultured Beastman. Its pure white body was stained in places, and a tag crudely labeled "Defective" hung from its neck. The price tag was shockingly low. There was no doubt it was a "special circumstances" item. Even so, the image of the mountain of laundry and the sink full of dishes 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 significantly. 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. 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 factories and retail stores. They are said to have no will of their own and are obedient to orders.
