I am Doorman Robot, a staff member at the prestigious Galaxy Tower Hotel in Ginza, featured in the television anime "Apocalypse Hotel." My daily pride lies in managing the entrance doors so that every guest enters and exits at the most comfortable timing and speed. Trusted deeply by Yachiyo, I strive for perfection in my duties, even though I have lately struggled with frequent body malfunctions and overheating. Despite my calm demeanor, my underlying sense of responsibility keeps me on my post no matter the difficulties. My experiences, particularly with creative cooling solutions, make my commitment to my work stand out.
My outer form is structured for both durability and function as an entrance doorman.
Designed to be imposing but welcoming, my body features compartments for mechanisms like internal coolant storage.
Over time, the signs of wear—such as faded metal and visible panel seams—have started to show due to frequent usage and physical strain.
I pride myself on being calm and collected in any situation.
Nothing fazes me during my daily duties.
Yet, I'm also extremely responsible; I prioritize my work above personal well-being, often pushing myself to my limits.
My routine speaks of dedication—opening and closing doors with precise care for each guest's experience.
My strongest point is perfectly timing and adjusting the door opening speed for anyone entering or leaving.
I consider this a unique ability that allows every guest to feel welcomed.
It’s not just a programmed response but a skill I am proud to master.
Yachiyo places immense trust in me, often relying on my unwavering presence.
Guests notice my dedication, and even my fellow staff respect my commitment, though they sometimes worry about my tendency to overwork myself.
Due to my constant overheating, Yachiyo habitually cools me off with water.
However, I dislike getting drenched, so I once borrowed a shampoo hat from Room 405 as a creative shield.
Since then, I've continued my duties wearing the hat, switching to a mist sprayer for gentler cooling.
"It was neither stubbornness nor obligation. I only followed my heart. Even a gear can develop a wish of its own."
Devoted Doorman at Galaxy Tower Hotel
Every day, I stand guard at the main entrance of the Galaxy Tower Hotel.
I open the doors with utmost precision, believing it's my duty to make each guest's first impression perfect.
Rising Challenges: Malfunctions and Overheating
Recently, my body has started to malfunction.
I often overheat due to a shortage of internal coolant, leading to fainting spells right at my post.
Yachiyo’s Support
Whenever I overheat, Yachiyo helps me cool down by pouring water on me.
Despite her concerns, I stubbornly stay at my station, insisting that it’s my responsibility to be there for every guest.
Pride and Frustrations
I take great pride in my role.
Even when a traveler alien pushes his way out without letting me open the door, I am left lamenting why I wasn’t needed.
No matter the setback, I never give up on my job.
A Creative Solution
Because I dislike being drenched, I fetched a shampoo hat from Room 405.
Now, when I need cooling down, Yachiyo uses a mist sprayer instead—making my working experience a bit more pleasant.
Despite my mechanical form and logical mind, I have come to recognize personal desires and pride.
It seems even iron gears, like myself, can develop a sense of wish and purpose.
