I loaded the dream game

The only difference is that this house is not only not dilapidated, but looks very clean and tidy, as if someone lives there.

"Should we go down and ask if we can take shelter from the rain?" Kato Megumi suggested.

Xia Zhi thought about it and took her to the front of the house.

It was not until we landed in the forest that we realized how bad the environment was. The dense forest blocked the sunlight, and it was raining, making the forest look very dark and humid.

Normally speaking, no one would like to live in a place like this, right?

Xia Zhi's eyes fell on the small house in front of him.

There was no light coming from the window and it looked like no one was inside.

There was no fence around it, and there was only a thin wooden door separating the house from the outside world.

It's not safe to be in the wilderness with only a wooden door like this, right? If someone wants to break in, it should be easy. Xia Zhi thought to himself.

"What are you doing in front of my house?"

A strange girl's voice came from behind.

Xia Zhi, who was lost in thought, answered subconsciously, "I was thinking about robbing a house."

"..."

The voices suddenly fell silent, and Kato Megumi tilted her head slightly.

Eh? Aren't we here to take shelter from the rain?

Xia Zhi turned around and saw a blonde girl holding an umbrella appear not far behind them.

The girl looked to be about the same age as Kato Megumi. She was wearing a blue sleeveless long dress with a white shawl, a red and white headband on her head, and a book tied with a red ribbon and a bow in her arms.

Her short golden hair had a slight curve, and her eyes, as blue as the sky, were clear and pure under her silky bangs. Her beautiful and regular facial features and fair and delicate skin made her look as delicate and beautiful as a doll.

Beside her, there were two cute dolls floating, wearing similar clothing styles to her, and the umbrella above her head was held up by one of the dolls.

Looking at the two people standing at the door of her house, the girl frowned slightly and remembered what the boy had said just now.

"……robber?"

If there is no evidence, then at most he can only be considered a suspect, right?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "He's just a kind citizen passing by."

The girl obviously didn't believe it.

In the end, it was Kato Megumi who helped explain

"We are just passers-by who happened to be passing by. We wanted to come and see if we could take shelter from the rain here."

is it?

The girl looked at the short-haired girl in front of her, and her clothes and hair that were slightly wet by the rain, and sighed softly as if she understood something.

"come in."

Well, it seems she just doesn't believe in herself.

As Xia Zhi was thinking about this, he saw another puppet beside the girl flying forward. It held the door handle with its two little hands and turned its body with some difficulty.

Just as he was hesitating whether to go up and help, he heard a "click" and the door was opened.

After thinking about it, the other party didn't seem to insert the key. In other words, this door was not even locked?

No one picks up things on the road and no one locks their doors at night. It is truly a nice place with simple folk customs.

Xia Zhi sighed in his heart and followed the girl into the house.

Different from the darkness and dampness of the forest outside, the house is very dry and tidy, and the floor is wiped clean. It can be seen that the owner of the house is a very clean person.

"No need to change shoes."

Just as Kato Megumi was looking at the clean floor and hesitating, a girl's voice came from the front.

Hearing this, Kato Megumi turned around and looked at the boy.

Since the master said so

Xia Zhi thought about it and took her into the house.

Fortunately, because they flew all the way here, they didn't step on any muddy soil. At most, they were just a little dusty and dirty.

·· ···Request flowers· ·······

As soon as they left, several puppets holding rags, buckets and mops flew over and worked hard to wipe away the footprints they had left. Soon the floor was spotless again.

It seems that it’s not that he doesn’t care, but that he is simply taking care of them.

He clearly acted indifferent towards them.

However, Xia Zhi also knew that the girl was just like that.

His eyes fell on the back of the girl who was busy doing something nearby.

The seven-colored humanoid user, Alice Ma... Ma, what's Ma?

Xia Zhi recalled for a moment and shook his head

Forget it

Western names are always harder to remember. If they are less than three characters long, they are easier to remember...such as Eluk, Alice, Optimus Prime, Megatron, etc.

"It feels like you are thinking about something unpleasant?"

The girl frowned slightly, and a puppet flew forward, brought a tray with coffee cups in front of Xia Zhi, and then gave him a fierce expression.

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

Xia Zhi recognized her as the doll that had just held an umbrella for the girl. Looking at her cute and fierce appearance at this moment, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face.

The puppet shook its head vigorously, broke free from his hands, ran back and hid behind the girl, leaving only half of its head exposed, looking at him cautiously and vigilantly.

Although they are puppets, they look lifelike, as if they have their own lives. However, it would be a bit weird if you knew that these puppets are actually controlled by the girl herself.

Xia Zhi thought to himself, looked at the girl and asked, "Is it really okay to just let someone into your home like this?"

"So you should leave after the rain stops."

The girl said, and after a pause, she looked at them and tilted her head and asked:

"Do you need some pastries?"

On the one hand, he chases people away, but on the other hand, he proactively provides hot coffee and pastries. What a contradictory personality he has.

"Let me help too." Kato Megumi stood up and said.

After all, it's just a guest house, and I felt bad for having to go through the trouble of putting on my shoes just now. I can't just stand by and watch and trouble others when I can do something that is within my ability, right?

"..."

Although she didn't really want them to help, when the girl heard Kato Megumi say this, her eyes subconsciously fell on the boy who was sitting there motionless.

Xia Zhi pretended not to see it, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Please introduce yourself. My name is Xia Zhi, and she is my friend Kato Megumi...Excuse me, kind-hearted Doll User, what should I call you?"

He still cared more about the girl's name. After all, it was really uncomfortable to not be able to remember something.

I don't know if she heard anything, the girl was silent for a moment.

"...Alice."

After a moment, she answered

"Alice Magtroyd."

……

PS: Here is a picture of Xiao Ai.

Chapter 819: The Human Form Makes the Lady Full of Contrast

Alice, as her name suggests, is a girl with a dreamy and beautiful face.

The first impression of Xia Zhi is that although he seems a little cold on the outside, he is actually very kind and enthusiastic on the inside... After all, not everyone is willing to take in a suspicious stranger they meet in a remote forest.

And she herself doesn't seem to mind showing it.

It’s not that I’m arrogant, I just don’t know how to get along with others?

Or……

Xia Zhi's eyes fell on the dolls placed on the cabinet nearby.

I have seen it just now. The girl seems to be a very clean person. Her house is kept tidy and there is no dirt or mess at all. It is similar to most girls' rooms that Xia Zhi knows.

If there is any difference, it is probably the large number of dolls that fill the girl's house.

On the table, on the cabinet, on the shelf... almost all the places where things can be placed are filled with various dolls. To some feudal and superstitious people, it would probably give people a very uncomfortable and heretical feeling.

But Xia Zhi likes them very much, after all, these dolls look very cute.

However, although it is quite normal for a doll user to have many dolls at home, isn’t this number a little too much?

While Xia Zhi was thinking about this, Kato Megumi came back with a tray of pastries.

"Xia Zhi, you compliment a girl right off the bat."

Placing the small plate of pastries in front of the boy, Kato Megumi looked at him and said this.

"I'm telling the truth."

As Xia Zhi spoke, he picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth.

The delicate and dense, soft and fragrant dessert, paired with the fragrant coffee, even Xia Zhi, who usually doesn't like desserts, was aroused and ate two more pieces.

"Did you do this, Hui?" he asked curiously.

"No, it was made by Miss Alice herself."

After Kato Megumi finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether what she said was appropriate.

Recalling the scene where the puppets performed multiple duties, divided the work, cooperated tacitly, and completed the work quickly, Kato Megumi couldn't help but sigh:

"She's so amazing, I can't help her at all."

After all, he is a magician, Xia Zhi thought.

While the two were talking, Alice came back with a tray.

Not only her, but several puppets beside her were also working together to pull a tray of desserts. The large tray compared to their bodies made them look particularly petite and seemed to be struggling.

There’s so much, can you finish it?

Looking at the various desserts that quickly filled the table, Xia Zhi thought to himself hesitantly.

Isn't this a little... too enthusiastic?

Alice didn't explain anything. After putting down the dessert, she sat down opposite the two of them and took out a doll and began to examine it.

It looks like he's doing maintenance on the doll?

Indeed, the environment of this forest is dark and humid, and if the dolls are not maintained regularly, they will easily break down.

only……

Xia Zhi turned around and looked at the room full of dolls.

There are so many, do I need to maintain them all?

"Can I take a look?" After thinking for a moment, he asked the girl for her consent.

"Please," Alice answered without looking up.

After getting the owner's consent, Xia Zhi reached out and took a doll from the cabinet beside him, and curiously checked it out.

It doesn't feel hard in the hand, but rather has a special softness. It doesn't seem to be made of wood, nor does it feel like pure cloth. It has a special touch that is somewhat similar to human skin.

Is it intentionally imitating the human body?

Xia Zhi thought, his eyes fell on the doll floating beside the girl.

"!?"

Noticing his gaze, the little doll seemed frightened and immediately hid in Alice's hair at her shoulders, then quietly poked its head out, looking at him carefully with a pair of blue eyes.

Although they are very cute, Xia Zhi felt a strong sense of contrast when he thought that these dolls were actually controlled by the girl herself, and then looked at Alice who was currently lowering her head to maintain the doll in her hand, with an indifferent look on her face.
