"Conchita"!
…Oh…dear. Everyone hide. NOW.

For some reason, Meiko was really hungry. Kinsora thought it was probably a bug in her program, since it was affecting her thought process, so she decided to leave it alone until it got better. Everyone else had the same thought too, so for the first hour of the day, they left Meiko to deal with the "bug."
Not a smart idea.
Let's start from the beginning. Kaito was hungry. And being Kaito, he wants ice cream. Nothing else other than ice cream. Even though it's only nine o'clock in the morning. And no one is crankier than Kaito without ice cream. So no one bothered to question. But when Kaito opened the freezer…
"KINSORA!!!!!" He called out. "Did you buy ice cream yet?!"
"I'm sure I did!" She answered. "Haagen Daaz, just as you wanted!"
"There's nothing here!"
"Are you sure? Did you check the back?!"
Kaito was about to check the back of the freezer when he noticed a movement from the side of his eye. Looking, he noticed Meiko eating something on the kitchen table. Upon closer inspection, he saw his canister of Haagen Daaz in front of her. And she was eating the spoon.
"Meiko!" He whined. "That was mine!"
"Oh…is it now?" She turned to him. "Well…I'm hungry. Too bad."
"You could at least try to ask!" He folded his arms.
What happened next startled everyone. Meiko got up, turned to Kaito, walked to him, and then started to chomp on his arm. The screams of the blue-haired angel made everyone start running toward his location, where they were shocked to see what was going on.
"What the…?!" Miku freaked out.
"You really shouldn't see this." Luka covered the twins' eyes.
"Meiko…let him go." Kinsora stepped forward.
"Must…eat…so…hungry."
The chomping continued for a couple minutes before Miku had a panic attack and threw last night's dinner at her. Since no one ate that much yesterday, there was plenty for her to eat. The fact that she was eating so much so quickly made everyone panic a little more.
"What's wrong with Meiko? She never had such a big stomach before." Gakupo looked at her.
"She's biting off my arm!" Kaito screamed.
"Your fault for standing next to her." Rin sighed.
"Hm…" Meiko walked up to Len. "What do you taste like?"
It was then that Kinsora got a massive nosebleed, since she got it completely in a different light. Unable to do anything much else, everyone was forced to watch helplessly as Meiko began to charge right through the kitchen, eating everything that she saw.
"I think she's eating the couch." Luka said.
"Great! Kinsora's out and Meiko's eating our furniture!" Gakupo whined. "Now what?!"
"We can call someone up." Kaito rubbed his arm.
"Any smart ideas?" Miku shivered. "Cuz Meiko's eating our table now…"
"I have one." Luka flipped open her phone.

"So…you're Kenji, right?"
"Yeah, that's me." He turned to his two companions. "This is Teto, and that's Taya."
"You made Taya, right?" Miku grinned. "It's nice to meet the both of you."
"Wow…the actual Vocaloids…right in front of me!" Teto gasped. "I can't believe it! It's like I've been awarded a gift of life or something!"
"Keep holding onto that. We'll be working together for a long time." Kaito smiled.
"Working…with the world-famous Vocaloids?!" Teto turned into a total fangirl. "Oh my god! I'd be honored!"
"She looks happy…that's good…what with what she was going through…" Kenji looked up. "So…about this android problem?"
"Yeah, about that…" Rin turned around. "Meiko's starting to eat everything in sight. Kin-chan's unconscious, so she can't help us."
"I see…so it's a maintenance problem." Kenji looked up. "Well, the thing is, I never saw an android that can eat before, so I have no idea how to work on her."
"Kenji…if I may pose an answer." Taya stepped forward.
"You sure?" He asked. "Don't hurt yourself."
"I just need one piece of information." The blue-haired butler turned to Teto. "What does Meiko usually eat?"
"She doesn't!" Teto chirped, being a Vocaloid fan that she is. "She drinks sake or any other alcoholic drink instead!"
"I see…"
In a period of a few seconds, Taya walked into the near-empty kitchen, pulled out a well hidden sake bottle, and tossed it at Meiko. All of a sudden, the red-clad woman looked up from what she was eating, lunged to the bottle, and started to drink it dry, passing out. Everyone stared at her and then back at Taya.
"Problem solved." She answered.
No one knew how to explain this sense of phenomena. Of course, Meiko had to find out a way to explore this form of behavior to her family. So she wrote "Conchita" to justify her odd pet peeve. And just in case you're curious, Kinsora was out for about another half-hour.
