[Requests Accepted] [CYCLET] 人形姫の城 ～貴方はもう、あたしの下僕～ Windows10完全対応リマスター版 [VJ013545]

Note: (VJ011334) There is content overlap with "The Doll Princess's Castle ~You are already my servant~". "The weight of a human soul is 21 grams" — such a theory emerged in 1907. Even amidst the turmoil of the post-war crisis, people still held hope for the future due to the Industrial Revolution. It was a time that marked the watershed between the modern and contemporary eras. As 'science' began to envelop the world, 'magic', which had long dominated people's hearts, still retained its power. In the deep mountains of England... in a place where no one dares to approach, that castle stands. If one were to accidentally wander inside, their 'soul' would be taken... Such rumors, bordering on legend, existed in England. Is the being within the castle a witch, or perhaps a vampire? Or — the truth remains unknown to anyone. Because there has been no one who has wandered into that castle and returned. --- **Story** "—I want a soul." The girl facing the young man spoke as if whispering to the void. The young man's name is Akihiko Natsume. He is a Japanese student who came to England to broaden his horizons. At that time, he heard from his friend Jack about the rumors of an abandoned castle deep within the forest. Once you step inside, it is said that no one has ever returned. Akihiko laughed it off as foolishness, but one day, driven by curiosity, he stepped inside. Into this castle, feared by people as a place of evil. What he encountered there was an extraordinarily beautiful girl. No, it would not be correct to call her a girl. Because she was an incredibly intricately crafted 'automaton'. A being created by humans — therefore, she has no soul. She has been desiring a soul for many years. Her delicate smile, reminiscent of a girl, and her occasionally lonely gaze — all of it is a mere imitation, calculated and engraved by humans. No matter how real she may appear, she remains a doll. For her, created in the pursuit of 'perfection', this was an unbearable reality. A soul — if only she had a soul, she could become real — she believed. And it was Akihiko who, after a long time, stepped into this castle. The girl was somehow moved by Akihiko, who was different from any human she had met before, and decided to keep him alive for a while. Thus began a strange life entrusted to this girl — --- **Characters** - **Lynette (CV: Aika Kashiwagi)** An automaton who has been in this castle ever since she gained consciousness. Since her creation, she has longed for a 'soul'. Her desperation for a soul has led her to commit cruel acts, but since her victims were bandits who wandered into the castle, she doesn't think much of it. Her attitude is arrogant and violent. Occasionally, she almost goes on a rampage, but she is always subdued by a maid. "21 grams — that's said to be the weight of a soul. I lack that." - **Anne (CV: Natsuru Sawano)** A maid-type automaton who has lived in the castle alongside Lynette for a long time, supporting her. The maid type is one of several variations that were created. Since she is specialized in household chores, she is not very skilled at communication. "Why doesn't Lynette-sama just kill that man?" - **Jack** An Englishman whom the protagonist met while studying abroad. He is an occult enthusiast, constantly gathering dubious knowledge. Naturally, he has few friends, and the protagonist initially thought to keep his distance, but for some reason, he becomes fond of him. "Let's enjoy a fun, fun occult life together!" - **Akihiko Natsume (Protagonist)** A Japanese student who traveled all the way to England for his studies. He still laments the loss of his younger sister, who died when he was young. Since then, he has begun to contemplate life and death, studying in the medical field. "Ha... Do you really think I'm going to go? Alone, to some creepy abandoned castle?"
