The story transitions to the present, focusing on Gerin, a diligent and kind-hearted servant in the royal palace. Despite her hard work and dedication, Gerin's life is fraught with challenges, primarily stemming from the relentless torment inflicted by Dosi, a capricious and tyrannical member of the royal family. Gerin's solace comes in the form of an older, malfunctioning Protor assigned to assist her. Through her care and ingenuity, Gerin repairs and bonds with this Protor, transforming it into a bright pink companion.
However, the tranquil routine is shattered when Dosi's jealousy and malice lead to the Protor's destruction by Big G, the palace's formidable protector.
