I used DeepL to translate this. I haven't translated anything before but I wanted to see this translated. I tried to keep the original meaning of the work while making it flow naturally. Any tips for translating would be appreciated. I'll make changes where necessary.

Below is the text that was translated.

誰か居るんですか…？
た。。。助けてください！
私達は元々人間なんです！
このロボットによれば、ここのメーカーの女性型ロボットの多くは人体を原料にしていて
自分は脳をいじられる直前に隙を見て逃げてきたのだという
人体をロボットに？そんなことあるわけないじゃない
人間と自己認識させるなんてセックスロボットによくできてるわね
本当んです
ホント人間を冒とくしているわ どういう層向けの製品なのかしら
お願いです!!信じて下さい!!
おい！そこで何してる！

The guard could have just gone along with what she thought was happening. Instead, they run the chance of police investigation, since an apparently renowned reporter went missing near their company, probably after telling her superiors where she was headed.

I'm assuming that she won't just be a sex robot but she'll be out there writing positive reviews of the company judging from what that one guy was saying in page 7.

What @VermillionFox162 said, but I'll add in some fun fact that is the universe/lore behind all 581's skeb commission requested by K-san is that the tech is so advanced that even after fully mechanized, the new sexaroid possesses the ability to perfectly mimics their previous form as human and there's this pseudo personality program where they will do things they're usually doing as a human to avoid suspicion until their control unit got activated.

@sectorunit888 What is emergence tag?

@GGS It's a NTR doujin by ShindoL. Take a read and see if you're one of the normal people who simply shrugs it off or one of the cucks who goes apeshit after reading till the end. I highly recommend not reading the Josuke ending and read the og. A good read since it also shows you why we Asians demonize the use of illegal drugs.

I just kinda feel like it would have been a better idea to let her leave thinking everything was fine and maybe bug her place n put a tail on her just in case, seems risky to do it this way. But, that's not how hentai does things.

Also, sad I didn't get to see the comment sperging about how immoral this is. If that guy ever saw ero guro he'd probably have a heart attack!

@ Narutu sand ninja:
that would take time and man power, wast of money, they already have the tech to converted human body to be their robot so it's faster to just convert her.

...............................

What the heck would she expect from multi function female robot manufacture for a interesting scoop?
Female robot created with sex function?
That is nothing weird or disgust.

But then when the real disgust scoop pop up "Female robot were female human converted."

She went "Impossible!"

I don't know, I mean her cover story would have to be really good not to arouse suspicion about a building people have dissapeared around.
But all it would take is one paper cut to find that she no longer has blood, or something else.
Or how much that stuff would change her weight.

Though it would be funny if someone put a hit on her before and now that finally got the job done.

I have always had this confusion regarding plots like this (like those by "Cyber F"): beside the need for the fetishes of identity theft/denial and body modification etc, why do they need to do body modification and transform humans into androids, instead of just replacing them (and their identities) with androids? I mean all these plots always explicitly demonstrate that it's not their bodies any more, and their minds/personalities are erased.

Unless, say, modification based on flesh is cheaper/better/must in the plots, which is seldom explained, and contradicts to common sense of manufacture. My logical thinking is just in the way of fapping.

@VermillionFox162 Your translated title is incorrect or, more accurately, it is translated too literally. If you searched for "夏の虫" as part of a phrase, you'd come across "飛んで火に入る夏の虫", or "Tonde hi ni hairu natsu no mushi", which roughly translates to "a summer bug jumping into a fire" and is the equivalent of the English phrase "like a moth to the flame" which, when you think about it, makes much more sense given the context of the story. Therefore, instead of "Summer Bug", a more accurate title would be "Like a Moth...".

Also, while I understand why you chose to put the new images after the original set, that reasoning is somewhat flawed. If you feel that it shouldn't be added to the original narrative, then it should be in its own gallery with a link to the original gallery at the bottom. Otherwise, you should put the pages where they fit in the original story in order to maintain narrative flow. In the end its your choice how you want to present your translation, but I will say that, as one of your readers, I would prefer a presentation that starts at the beginning of the narrative and flows naturally to the story's conclusion, and I suspect I'm not alone in this sentiment.

I would have really liked an alternate route to this where the media girl goes along with the haywire robot's pleas after Page 3, helps her escape, hides her at her house and keeps her safe there forever. She is unable to change the robot back into a human, but at the very least she is able to let her feel loved and filled with purpose as a friend and companion, which eventually turns into sweet human x robot yuri ♥

Typically my brain truncates sad stories like these with sweeter versions of them in my head. Either way, I guess it's a pretty creative premise...

@Optitron
I just got confirmation from K-san about the name and it does come from that proverb. Thanks, I wouldn't have gotten that reference. I think K-san also agreed to the bottom suggestion as well.

What puzzles me is how they think no one is going to notice the joins, bar codes and other things that say she's not human.
