CHAPTER 1: HIGH QUALITY

I heard a voice.

I thought I had died, but a part of my mind still was conscious.
Maybe I had gotten lucky and was still alive, or more likely, this is the afterlife.
An unknown place greets my eyes as I open them.
A wall covered with books and tools I could not recognize, and the room overall looking dark and old.
At least I’m certain that this is no hospital room.

“Now, I just put this over here…”
“Umm…”
“This is important, please don’t interrupt me.”
“Ah, alright.”

I tried talking to the woman in front of me, but she refused to talk.
She looks very focused on something.

Looking to the side, I find a large and tall mirror.
I gasped after noticing it, taken aback by what I was seeing.
She was clearly not a human, I could see seams and screws all over her body, and there were ball-joints to allow her limbs to move.

A mannequin, very human-like, but a mannequin nonetheless.

Still, what had surprised me so much was her actual appearance.
She had silvery hair that grew down to her shoulders, long eyelashes, shiny blue eyes like sapphires, and lively lips.
Her chest was large, but still shaped beautifully, and there was little excess material around her waist, giving her hips very charming curves.
She was beautiful to an unrealistic extent.

Too pretty.

If I ever passed by a girl with a similar body wearing casual clothes, I’d turn my head back just to continue watching her.

“Hm?”

Feeling something off, I lift my right arm.
The beautiful mannequin in the mirror does the same.
I try my left arm.
She follows suit.
I lifted both my arms, then my knee, and crossed my legs!1 It was perfect.
Without missing a beat, she followed every movement I did.
I guess she really loves imitating others.

Hah hah hah, what a playful girl.
Wait no.
The cutie I’m seeing is actually me.

“Whaaaaaa-?!”

I think anyone would shout in this situation.

“Ugh I told you to be silent
