Ring Ring, the Doll Arrives
That weekend afternoon, I was lounging half-naked on the bed, smoking a cigarette. Beside me, Nago lay under the covers with a long pipe in her mouth. Smoke curled lazily through the room.
"Haa..." A sigh slipped out before I could stop it. Work was about to get busy—more overtime, maybe even weekends at home. That meant no more trips to the yokai brothels.
"Oppa~ What's wrong? You're sighing like the world's ending."
"Nothing. Just exhaling smoke."
I brushed her off. It wasn't that I couldn't tell her, but I wasn't the type to dump my worries on others. Especially not something as embarrassing as missing the brothels because of work.
Nago frowned, raising her clawed fingers toward me. "That face says you've got problems. Tell me the truth or I'll scratch."
She'd always been good at reading expressions. Today was no different.
"Ah... well..." I gave in and told her everything.
"So you're saying work's about to get crazy, you'll be pulling overtime, and we won't see each other much?"
"Haha... Yeah. Probably for about a month."
Nago blew out a long stream of smoke. "Hmm... Not seeing Oppa is a little disappointing. But more importantly, what are you gonna do about that ridiculous sex drive of yours?"
"Good question. That's the real problem."
Ever since meeting Nago, I'd gained another way to enjoy life. Not just the sex—sitting on the bench in front of her shop, chatting, was genuinely fun. It was a shame I wouldn't see her for a while. But the bigger issue was losing access to the yokai brothels entirely. The thought of having nowhere to vent my unusual urges made my head spin.
"Just do it yourself. Not enough?"
"Ah... No."
"Aigoo~" Nago sighed like she couldn't believe me. She puffed on her pipe, thinking, then suddenly perked up. "Ah! Wait right there!"
She hopped out of bed and rummaged through her clothes hanging on the wall. I quietly admired the view of her swaying, smooth backside. Eventually she pulled out her wallet, then a business card from inside it.
"Here. Take this."
I accepted the card. It was for some kind of service.
"Uh... I won't even have time to visit another shop..."
Nago grinned, hands on her hips. "Hehe! It's my friend's place. She opened a branch here. Look closer."
...?
Curious, I read the card properly.
Adult-Only Housekeeping Helper Rental Service
"This is..."
"Drop by on your way home today. Apparently it's pretty popular lately."
"Ah... Thank you."
"Well then... Now that your worries are mostly solved...?"
Nago gave me a sultry look, tails swaying, and slowly crawled on top of me.
A little while later—
"Oppa~ Come again soon~ And stop by that place I told you about~"
Nago waved from in front of the shop as I left. I gave her a quick nod and headed toward the address on the card.
The shop was decorated in pink, with mannequins in suggestive outfits displayed out front.
"What kind of place is this...?"
I opened the door and stepped inside. A woman sitting at the counter stood up to greet me.
"Welcome."
She was tall enough to meet my eyes, with long straight hair and a bright red mask. She smiled with her eyes as she welcomed me. Then she noticed the card in my hand and tilted her head.
"Oh! That card! I gave it to Nago. I even drew a heart on the back."
I flipped it over. The heart I'd assumed was part of the design was actually drawn in marker.
"Ah, this... Nago gave it to me. So you're her friend, the owner? She said it was a branch, so I thought you were just a regular employee."
"Ah~ The main shop runs fine on its own. I left it to the staff and came here instead. Then you must be Dae-geun, right? Nago's told me a lot about you. I'm Hong-ji."
The woman in the red mask introduced herself with a polite bow. I bowed back.
"By the way, what kind of shop is this?"
Hong-ji looked surprised. "Eh? You came without knowing? Nago didn't tell you?"
"No... She just said to check it out."
She chuckled, as if she'd expected that, and began explaining.
"Basically, we rent out helpers to assist customers with various tasks."
Oh~ A helper rental service... If I had to work from home, having someone to handle chores would be convenient. But while housework help was nice, my real priority was dealing with my sex drive. That was the actual problem.
"During the rental period, they'll stay at your place and handle housework like dishes, laundry, and cleaning. Since it's adult-only, you can also request... more intimate services."
Aha! So that's why Nago recommended this place. I could have them do chores while I worked, then relieve stress during breaks. But... rental?
"What do you mean by 'rental'? Don't people usually say 'hire'?"
"Haha! 'Rental' just sounds better for the concept. It's basically the same as hiring, so don't worry~"
Ah, so it's a themed shop.
"How long can the rental period be?"
"You can choose any length you like."
Hong-ji showed me a price board. Options ranged from three days to a week, a month, two months—completely different prices.
"Ah... Then one month, please."
"Got it! Now please select the parts!"
Parts...?
She handed me a tablet showing options for hairstyle, eye color, face shape, preferred body type, and more.
Hmm... This was tricky. Since I enjoyed meeting all kinds of women, I didn't have a single fixed preference. It made choosing difficult.
"If it's hard to decide, how about going with the default?"
"Ah! There was a default option. I'll take that."
"Then when would you like the visit?"
Hmm... My place was already a mess from neglecting chores, and I'd probably be working from home more starting this week, so...
"Is today okay?"
"Of course! I'll send someone over tonight!"
That night, I sat at my desk organizing materials for tomorrow's meeting.
"Come to think of it, Hong-ji's shop said they'd send someone around now... When will they arrive...?"
My phone rang. An unknown number.
Huh...? I don't get calls from strangers. Who is this...?
I answered and held the phone to my ear.
"Hello, I got your call. Who is this?"
Silence. Then—
"This is Mary. I'm in front of your apartment."
Click. The call ended.
Before I could process it, the phone rang again.
"This is Mary. I'm at your front door."
Click.
Ah... Must be from Hong-ji's shop. I should open the door.
I stood up and headed for the entrance. The phone rang a third time.
"This is Mary. I'm right behind you now."
Click.
What...? Behind me...?
I slowly turned around and nearly fell over in shock.
Standing there was a woman with pale skin, blue eyes, red lips, and long golden wavy hair, holding a suitcase. She looked like a doll—beautiful in an almost unreal way.
When I flinched, she gracefully lifted the hem of her blue dress and curtsied.
"Good evening. I am Mary Doll, from the Adult-Only Housekeeping Helper Rental Service. It's a pleasure to meet you, Master."
Ah... Mary Doll! I'd heard of that yokai. The one that calls people to find them...
"My apologies if I startled you. I was simply trying to make it feel authentic, as is the Mary Doll's nature."
"No, it's fine."
Everything made sense now. Being a doll explained why "rental" felt more fitting than "hire," and why you could customize the parts.
The woman in front of me was short enough to reach my chest, with a modestly sized bust. Not overly glamorous, but attractive.
"Nice to meet you. If I may ask, your name is..."
"Mary is my yokai species. Please call me Min-hee. I see that you're human, Master."
"Yes, I'm human. Please take care of me."
After the introductions, I showed her inside. My place wasn't large to begin with, and after days of neglecting chores, it had become a disaster.
"Then I'll start with cleaning. You can continue with your work, Master."
"Ah, thank you."
I left her to it and returned to my room to finish organizing. At first I kept glancing over nervously, but her professional skill soon let me focus.
Some time later, I finally finished.
"Nngh~" Stretching felt amazing after being hunched over.
When I went to the living room, Min-hee was hanging laundry in a sparkling clean space. She finished the last piece and turned to me.
"Master, I've completed the cleaning, dishes, and laundry. Is there anything else you'd like me to do?"
I didn't have any other tasks for her today. She'd handled everything perfectly, and after seeing Nago in the afternoon, I wasn't particularly pent up.
"You did an excellent job. Thank you so much. There's nothing else today, so you should get some rest."
"Understood. I'll go change."
She picked up her suitcase from the corner and went into the bathroom. A little later, she emerged in comfortable pajamas.
"Then, Master, please take care of me for the next month. Good night."
She bowed and lay down on the sofa. Without even a blanket.
"Min-hee? My bed's big enough. You can sleep there. It's still chilly at night."
"Thank you for your concern, but the bed is only necessary for nighttime activities."
Her stubbornness made further persuasion pointless. So I just picked her up.
"Ah! What are you doing?"
"If you keep this up, I'll feel uncomfortable. Just sleep quietly on the bed."
I tossed her onto the bed and lay down beside her.
The next evening, work had gotten so busy that I skipped dinner and couldn't avoid overtime. Dragging my exhausted body home, I finally opened the door.
Min-hee greeted me from inside, wearing an apron.
"Welcome home, Master."
She took my bag. A delicious smell wafted from the kitchen.
"Dinner is ready. Would you like to eat now?"
"Oh~ It smells great. I'll eat."
On the table were doenjang jjigae and grilled fish—made from ingredients that had been sitting in the fridge. Thankfully, Min-hee had turned them into something delicious.
After the satisfying meal, I took a shower. The warm water seemed to wash away the day's fatigue. Still, having someone at home was nice... Even if she was a paid helper, she finished all the chores while I was at work, so I had nothing left to do after coming home. Plus, I could request intimate services at night. No wonder this service was getting popular.
After showering, I sat on the bed in my pajamas. The door opened and Min-hee entered wearing revealing lingerie. She hadn't looked like a doll with clothes on, but now the ball joints at her knees and elbows were obvious.
She approached slowly.
"Please take care of me, Master."
"You too..."
I answered awkwardly and placed my hands on her waist. Her skin felt almost human, with just a slight artificial texture. She surrendered to my touch and climbed on top of me. I pushed her down onto the bed, and she wrapped her arms around my neck while parting her legs to make space.
I settled between her thighs, leaned over, and kissed her lips. Surprisingly, her mouth was moist—not like human or yokai saliva, but pleasant nonetheless. I rubbed her breasts with one hand, then moved my mouth to her neck for a deep kiss.
"Haang!"
Min-hee let out a moan. So she could feel pleasure... Good.
My lips trailed down to her nipple.
"Eut!! Aang!!"
She trembled and moaned. I slipped my left hand into her panties. She was already wet.
"Dolls... get wet too, huh."
"Eut!! It's... gel..."
She answered breathlessly. I slowly removed her underwear and stripped off my own clothes. Her entrance looked very similar to a human's, and warm gel was flowing out, making the sensation identical.
I pushed my fully erect length inside her.
Squelch
"Aaang! Ugh!"
My shaft slid through her warm, elastic walls. I savored the tight sensation.
"Haa... Master... Aang!! Please... feel as much as you want."
She panted. I began moving my hips in response.
"Aaaang!!"
Her arms tightened around my neck, and her legs wrapped around my waist. The urge to climax built quickly. It felt too soon to finish, so I pulled her close and lifted her up. She was surprisingly light—probably because she was a doll. Now she clung to me, arms around my neck and legs around my waist. I gripped her hips and thrust upward forcefully.
Slap! Slap!!
"Uuuugh!! Master!!! It feels so good!!"
I'd worried it might hurt, but her cries were clearly of pleasure.
"Eut!! I'm gonna come!"
"Inside!! Fill me up!!"
I released deep inside her. Only then did Min-hee loosen her limbs, collapsing onto the bed. Her hips twitched with each aftershock, white fluid trickling from between her legs.
I grabbed some tissues from the desk and wiped her thighs.
"Are you okay?"
She took a moment to answer, still panting.
"Haa... Aah... Yes, I'm fine... Master... It felt incredible. I'm sorry you had to see me in such an unsightly state."
"No. You were very cute."
"I'm glad you enjoyed it. You're quite skilled."
She looked adorable lying there smiling on the bed. I wanted to keep going, but I had work tomorrow, so I had to stop.
"Shall we call it a night? I need to go to work tomorrow."
"Yes, understood."
"Let's just sleep like this... We're both tired."
I collapsed beside her. She immediately snuggled into my arms. The feeling of holding someone in my familiar bed... It had been a long time. The warmth lulled me into a deep sleep.
