"By the way, you're doing quite well financially, right, Ksenia?"<br><br>I was watching Ksenia fill out a mission report in the ops room one day, and had this sudden thought.<br><br>"I'm under the impression that you saved up quite a bit over the years from part-time work, even if we don't count the salary you draw from the Elmo."<br>"You're not wrong. Some of my earnings were spent on sating my shopping needs, but I did manage to save up quite a lot over the years. I don't remember the exact number, but I'm pretty sure I have this much."<br><br>The sum that Ksenia indicated via gesture was way more than what I expected. I sighed, and with a wry smile, I asked her another question.<br><br>"If that's the case, then it looks like you're the wealthy one here... Since you're so wealthy, could I maybe tip you a bit less in the future?"<br>"But your tips are special, Commander. Don't you think that it's just natural to tip a cute little Doll like me?"<br>"That logic sounds reeeeeeeally dodgy to me..."<br>"You're saying that, but you didn't deny the part about me being cute~"<br><br>Ksenia finished sorting through the documents, then skipped over to hand me a card.<br><br>"This is for you."<br>"What's this?"<br>"The tips you've given me. The PIN is your birthday, got it? You can use it when there's an emergency or just save it as part of your reserve funds. Just think of it as a token of my appreciation."<br><br>In order to hide my surprise at getting a card like this, I instinctively started teasing Ksenia to see how she would react.<br><br>"That's a lot of trust that you're putting in me. Aren't you afraid that I'll squander all of it?"<br>"You're not that kind of guy, Commander. I trust you completely, you know? You're the only thing in the world that gives me more peace of mind than my account balance."<br>"Now that you're putting it that way, my conscience would kill me if I ever betrayed your trust."<br>"Naturally. So, Commander, feel free to tip me more from now on. After all, what I receive belongs to you."<br><br>Only when her smirking face drew closer did I finally grasp Ksenia's true motives.<br><br>"...Was that what you were aiming for, all along?"<br>"That's up to your own imagination, Commander~"

===Time Is Precious 1===
As the Commander goes to the kitchen after a day of work, a suspicious string of encounters delay their dinner. They first run into [[Nagant]] who makes them help her choose a new hat, then help {{GFL2|Suomi}} practice for her video game competition against [[Papasha]]. Then, having used the kitchen unbothered, [[Makiatto]] pleads they taste her suspicious-colored cooking. The Commander eventually catches Ksenia, who had been peeking at each encounter and tries to make her admit that she's been taking commissions from the Dolls to organize a schedule of private time with the Commander, instead of hounding them all at once. Ksenia makes her escape just as Makiatto is about to force the Commander to eat her strange food, but not before Ksenia's "Golden Waitress" service kicks in, discreetly replacing the strange object with edible food to spare the Commander the food poisoning.
===Time Is Precious 2===
Ksenia has stopped selling the Commander's schedule to the other Dolls but is now peddling some unclear good to them instead. After an ominous run-in with {{GFL2|Florence}}, the Commander enters Ksenia's room, intending to get to the bottom of the matter, but finds [[Klukai]] is already confronting her inside regarding the drop rates of her "Commander merch gacha", and especially the "Commander's sleeping face" hidden reward. Ksenia defends herself by presenting a "market research" contract the Commander signed, with small prints regarding a set of pictures she's authorized to take and use. Ksenia defends her money-making venture is a win-win since she invested into making quality merch to provide emotional support for the other Dolls who can't spend as much time as they want with the Commander as more Dolls board the [[Elmo]]. Ksenia is maximizing her revenue because she wants to make an expensive purchase her normal part-time jobs and tips from the Commander won't cover, and she won't ask the Commander for a loan since she values hard work. The Commander still insists on getting royalties for the merch sale and negotiates the purchase of the entire stock of stolen photos. As she heads out, Ksenia drops another photo she kept for herself.
===Time Is Precious 3===
After another long paperwork session, the Commander meets with Ksenia, who has bought an expensive massage chair and setup the basic features to help them recover from working at their desk all day. She already plans to make the Dolls pay a fee to recoup her loss, but the Commander encourages Ksenia to use it herself too, since she's constantly working. The Commander starts thinking of ways to repay Ksenia for her help.
===Time Is Precious 4===
As an excuse to go on a date with Ksenia, the Commander booked her as a procurement consultant during a trip to a Yellow Zone market. While Ksenia's interest is caught by many items, she insists to remain professional and not spend the Commander's money until her job is complete. At the end of the day, the Commander returns to buy everything Ksenia wanted, and later finish to setup the massage chair before inviting Ksenia to use it and give her her gifts, most of which she actually planned to buy for other members of the Elmo. The Commander also returns the photo she dropped previously, which is a selfie of a shy Ksenia with the sleeping Commander. Ksenia hides her embarrassment by making the Commander sign a contract making her their agent, establishing a "long-term partnership" that will allow her to take all the photographs of the Commander she wants.
