Profile
"Hello everyone! I'm the gun-shooting speed-dashing bionic golden retriever Mayumi!"

- Mayumi

Regarding Mayumi, the conclusion is either “was originally a Gold Retriever puppy” or “she’s just been fitted with these kind of accessories, you lsp!”. While discussing which side is right, we’ve already been conducting an inside investigation for a very long time. We were very intrigued by her body but due to various reasons we ultimately abandoned the plan to dissect her. On one hand, nobody's desire to harm a girl who at first sight is covered in bruises is greater than the desire to protect her. On the other hand… after being in contact with us for a while, we discovered that she is already affiliated- she keeps mentioning someone called master. She is always fully convinced that to bring happiness to master and to help master solve problems and difficulties is precisely the meaning of her existence. In order to let her know that not just master exists in the world, we unanimously decided to let this young lady who is not very good at playing games or singing to undergo livestreaming activities. Only by facing more people can she gradually gain confidence, or perhaps go hopelessly astray. Although the reason she accepted it was to bring more happiness to master, in short, the outcome is fine like this. 对于勾檀她究竟是“原本就是金毛的小狗狗”还是“她只是被装上了这样的配件吧你这个lsp！”到底哪边才对的讨论，已经在我们内部进行很久了. 我们对她的身体很感兴趣，但出于各种各样的原因最终还是放弃了解剖她的计划. 一来，没有人会对一个初见时满身伤痕的女孩有着大过保护欲的伤害欲，二来......经过一段时间的相处我们发现她似乎已经身有所属了——她总是把一个叫做master的人挂在嘴边，而她一直确信为master带来快乐，帮助master解决问题和困扰便是她的存在意义. 为了让她知道世界上并不是只有master的存在，我们一致决定让这个打游戏唱歌都不太行的少女去进行直播活动，只有面对更多的人，她才能慢慢的自信起来或者在走偏的道路上愈发不可收拾吧. 虽然她接受的理由是为了给master带来更多的快乐，但总之结果是这样就好了吧.
