EPISODE 4 "LOVESTRUCK MARIE"
Causing Master Arthur to catch
a cold is a serious offense.
Monitoring remaining life force.
The penalty is death!
Do you have any last words?
No. It was a good life while it lasted.
Arthur, heir to a corporate empire,
keeps a personal maid, Marie.
In actuality, she is a robot maid
developed by the Zetes Corporation
Or rather, she's just a regular human
pretending to be a one.
If only that man didn't have dirt on me
Maynard's hired assassin, a man called
Noah, has uncovered Marie's past.
What? How did that happen?
I'm positive I erased all records
concerning you.
Nevertheless, Master Arthur's
health comes first.
I'll do anything to help him get better.
Will you now?
In that case, I have something for you.
The master, the young master's father,
uses this kit to recover when he falls ill.
He claims it cures all ailments.
And for your information,
not even I know what's inside.
Huh?
Excuse me.
This won't do.
Master Arthur, you shouldn't be studying.
Please get to bed.
Don't try to stop me
I have student council work and
the school's anniversary party to
But you're unwell.
I was chosen for the student council
and for the party's emcee
That means other people were passed over.
I understand that frustration all too well.
It's no different than
inheriting the Zetes fortune.
There's some paperwork
Master Arthur
The time has come!
Wait, it has?
This is
Will this really?
I know I left them around here.
Master Arthur.
Marie, I don't—
I can't say I get it,
but this uniform has the power to help
Zetes men get over colds right?
Master Arthur, please get some rest.
I'm dreaming about Nurse Marie
wrestling me into bed?
Have I become a sexual deviant?!
Wait, maybe I'm not fantasizing
Marie could just be in nurse mode.
I don't have any weird fetishes!
All right. Have it your way.
Okay, I'll be taking your temperature now.
Be still for me.
Sorry.
That's just such a human way
to check temperature.
Aw, crap.
I need to think fast.
Actually, I
have a thermal sensor in my forehead.
I see.
He'll buy anything.
Your fever seems high.
You're sweating, so I'll wipe you down
and you can change clothes.
Okay.
Please, go right ahead.
I feel nothing! I am a robot!
I can get your back as well, if you like.
Okay.
I never show it with anyone,
but death walks with me every day.
I've been injured countless
times since I was little.
This scar on my back runs deep.
I'm told it will never go away.
I won't let anything hurt you ever again.
I'll keep you safe.
Show me your weak side, even if
you hide it from everyone else.
I knew it. I must be dreaming.
We got intel that Arthur's
in critical condition.
MISINFORMATION
Yeah, the target's already at death's door.
EVEN MORE MISINFORMATION
I-It's a nurse cosplayer!
Like hell it is!
Wha
What the hell?! We had him dead to—
BAM
That's Zetes decor for you. Hefty,
durable, and perfect for bludgeoning.
What a fool. Those guys were decoys.
I'll use this chance to—
- No way!
- Shove.
My apologies for the commotion.
It's quiet now,
so please rest up.
No, it's fine.
It's a relief to know I'm not alone.
Before you came, Marie, I couldn't
show weakness to anyone.
So I put up a brave front and faked it,
even though I claim to hate
lying more than anything.
Master Arthur
I'm the one lying.
But my desire to stay with
you overpowers my guilt.
Just what in the world
is this feeling?
N-Noah, are you here?
Need something?
What's this, Maynard?
I brought it because you always
get in my face like that!
Back off!
Anyway, you better have what we talked about!
Oh, this?
Whoa there.
Arthur's phone.
The video had been deleted before I got to it.
Well, I guess that means I can
off Arthur without regrets.
No, take him alive.
I'll finish him off myself.
Today, Arthur's school, Kalmia High,
celebrates the anniversary of its founding.
The party attracts local notables every year,
and guests traditionally come in costume.
In order to encourage the growth and
achievements of all of you gathered here,
- allow me to deliver a few opening remarks.
- Good thing Master Arthur got over his cold.
- I hope you will bear with me.
- Good thing Master Arthur got over his cold.
Marie, you're not tired, are you?
Maybe it's weird to ask a robot that,
but here.
Wait, that many?
I want you to enjoy the party too.
Th-Thank you, sir.
Heya!
Check out my costume!
The whole class says it looks great on me.
Oh, you're a maid, Marie?
That's so cute!
Hey!
Does anyone have a weapon handy?
Maybe part of your costume
that needed a sharp point?
Arthur.
Oh, that's the diet member
from the garden party.
Good to see you again.
I appreciate all you've done for me.
Marie, I'll have a few
words with this gentleman.
Certainly, sir.
Man, how boring.
I'll grab something to eat.
Wait, I need to keep an eye on Noah!
Noah, you're taking way
too much for one person.
Huh? Is that a problem?
Oh, excuse me. I thought
Oh, the costume, right?
Noah gave it to me.
And not just me. Look!
- None of us had costumes,
- We're va-va-va-vampires!
- so Noah was a real lifesaver.
- We're va-va-va-vampires!
He got me!
Roy, locate Arthur's GPS
and tell me where he is.
On it.
I'll navigate. Do as I say.
Master Arthur, please be safe!
If this is important,
I'd be happy to discuss it at home.
I'm sorry, Arthur.
I did it for my family!
Sure enough, nothing motivates
people like their families' lives.
I don't really get it, personally.
You can still move?
You don't give up easy.
Wh-Who's there?
Where are you?
Losing consciousness?
I jabbed you with a special sleep
drug that weakens sight and hearing.
Most people in your position grovel and
beg for help, while you're still fighting.
But even so, I'm confident
not even you can take a second dose.
Too bad. I was saving that one
to use on Marie.
You're gonna be my bait to lure her out.
Marie, the room at the end of that
hall leads to another beyond it.
The GPS signal stopped there.
Roger that. And Roy
I know.
Is this room unused?
Now, through it is There!
Master Arthur!
I'm on my—
That was fast. Good girl.
I've got a knife to your neck,
and you look the same as ever.
You really are the most wonderful person I know.
You don't say.
Missed me agai—
When you get down to it,
I've never beaten you,
so I retrained myself for this fight.
Yeah?
Then I guess
I'll get serious too.
I knew you were the best, Marie.
I've never felt like partnering up before,
but I have to say I think
I could enjoy hit jobs with you.
You think I'd take that kind of work?!
I'm Master Arthur's maid!
What a shame.
I know you way better than Arthur does,
and I'm still saying I like
you just the way you are.
That I need you.
You could be happier with me, you know?
Like hell I could!
Come on! Admit it!
Huh?
His right hand's a little weaker than his left.
I can do this!
Where the stun gun got me, huh?
Whoa! Who turned out the lights?
You think that's all it takes to get away?
Hate to break it to you,
but my eyes are used to the dark.
Now, come to me,
my Ma—
That's not Marie.
Your just deserts.
Well done, Marie 2.
You're a better robot maid than me.
Take it from here.
Certainly.
Master Arthur!
He's completely out of it,
but he's not injured.
Master Arthur is safe.
Let's go, Marie 2.
Where is she?
Welcome back.
He's a z-zombie!
Where's Marie 2?
My humble apologies.
You sure do love Arthur, huh?
But don't you realize?
Arthur loves
Marie the robot, not the real you.
- Marie the robot, not the real you.
- Oh no.
Marie the robot, not the real you.
How do you think he'll react
if he finds out you're human?
You're better off giving up
on that crush right now.
Besides, you were never one to win
the affection of others, were you?
Your whole life, people must've found you
creepy and given you the cold shoulder.
You've been going through life alone,
and I think you should stay that way.
Unloved by anyone at all.
Don't listen.
No way
You shouldn't be able to move
after the dose I gave you!
Where's the guy hurting Marie?
Show yourself!
He's barely conscious,
and he still cares that much.
It's true. I'm expressionless, like a doll.
But
even I have a heart!
No matter what anyone says,
I'll stand by him!
Master Arthur, hang in there.
He's completely unconscious now.
Master Arthur
The person who stands up for me,
who's always saving my heart,
who's shown me so many feelings
I've never experienced before.
And
the person I love.
I
love Master Arthur.
I don't see Noah here today.
Maybe he caught a cold. That sucks.
The smack I laid on him
would kill most people.
This school's seen the last of him.
Or not!
Don't bother getting all on edge.
I'm a wreck, so I'm taking some time
off from the assassin business.
Besides that, can you keep up the same
old act now that you know you're in love?
Being in love while you're still lying
to him will take its toll, guaranteed.
So if you ever want to escape that lie,
just come see me.
Mind your own business.
Master Arthur.
Hey. Morning.
I kind of took a bad fall
at the party yesterday.
I hear somebody came after
you too. Rough night, huh?
I hope they catch the guy soon.
When I got attacked, I could
have sworn I heard your voice.
You must've imagined it.
See you around.
He fell, huh?
I guess he has his clumsy moments too.
Master Arthur, you seem in a good mood today.
I am.
I had a dream while I was out cold yesterday.
It was such a happy dream,
I wish it had been real.
Marie finally managed
to give voice to her true feelings.
And someday, Arthur will too.
NEXT TIME
I am Marie 2, Master Arthur's
second robot maid.
For love and justice, I will give my all to—
Love My romance
