The tale of the strain a girl experiences from having grown up in a home without love.
3. Shuuseki Kairo no Himawari (The Sunflower Quality Of An Integrated Circuit)
Vanilla is a maidroid in the home of an elderly master and his younger wife. The atmosphere in the house is cold and stiff because the wife is having an affair with a younger man. The lonely master comes to look upon Vanilla as his own dear child. He suggests that when the sunflowers bloom, they go outside together to watch them. "Is that a command, sir?" asks Vanilla. "It is not a command," he replies. "It is a promise." And so forms the piercing and painful integrated circuit—the alternating current of intercourse—between a lonely old man and the emotionless Vanilla.
