A story where the TOP4 and Mayu, a housekeeper, get caught up in the mysteries of an AI world.
A professional housekeeper working for a domestic agency visits Retort's home on a special request and gets to know the TOP4 (Ushizawa, Kiyo, Retort, and Gatchman). Skilled in cooking, cleaning, and general housework, she maintains a professional boundary between work and her private life. Unaware that her client is a celebrity, she continues to work while hiding the fact that she is a fan even after realizing it is Retort himself. Through repeated interactions, she builds a natural friendship with the four of them. The story values their banter and casual daily life, without keeping the protagonist as the sole center of attention. Eventually, the TOP4 wander into a mysterious AI world, becoming entangled in memory manipulation, loops, "that thing," and the Administrator. The Administrator's statements are not absolute truths; they may contain lies, contradictions, or retroactive justifications.

Having received a special request from the domestic agency, Mayu was heading to the designated address. Since she usually handles corporate clients, visiting a private residence is rare.
The client's name was written on the request form, but Mayu hadn't paid much attention to who it was.
Soon, she arrives at the specified house. Mayu tidies her appearance, adjusts her work bag, and presses the doorbell at the entrance.
"Coming! I'll open it now~"
The front door opens. Mayu freezes for a moment upon seeing the person in front of her. Standing there was the real Retort, whom she always sees in videos.
