I loaded the dream game

Alice is actually a person with a very rich inner world.

Or maybe this is an occupational disease that comes from performing too many puppet shows?

"Miss Alice, are these dolls alive?"

Looking at the cute doll hiding on the girl's shoulder, which seemed to have its own thoughts and feelings, Kato Megumi asked curiously...

"Not really. I can't make puppets like that yet. They still need me to control them."

Alice replied.

I said it myself, Xia Zhi thought.

By the way, compared to myself, it seems that she talks more to Kato Megumi?

"Huh? But I can't see any thin lines on them?" Kato Megumi asked in confusion.

Moreover, there was no sign of Alice's fingers moving to control the dolls. Not only that, she was still maintaining other dolls.

"Just use the magic line to connect." Alice said.

Because magicians can control magic power freely, when using magic lines, they don't need to be limited to their fingers and can just control it with their thoughts.

In other words, those dolls move with the help of magic.

"It seems so convenient." Kato Hui sighed, and after thinking for a while, she asked again

"Did Miss Alice control the puppets to complete the cleaning at the beginning and the cooking just now?"

"Ah."

"Won't it be tiring?"

"It'll be good once you become proficient."

“Hey… that’s amazing.”

The girl doesn't speak on her own initiative. Although she is very beautiful, her "cold" personality and the environment filled with dolls around her can easily make people feel uncomfortable and want to leave immediately.

Kato Megumi seemed unaffected and continued chatting with the girl.

Xia Zhi took a sip of coffee and turned to look out the window.

The rain was still falling outside, and the raindrops hit the window, making a tapping sound. The rain flowed down the glass, forming thin lines.

There is a gloomy sky and forest outside the window, and warm and soft lights inside the house. I slowly savor the dessert, take a sip of steaming hot coffee, and hear the soft conversations of the girls. It inexplicably makes me feel warm.

If we ignore the fact that this was just the first time they met the girl.

Speaking of which, when will this rain stop?

Xia Zhi thought to himself as he rubbed the rim of the cup gently with his fingers and looked at the dark forest and the sky with drizzle outside the window.

.......

Chapter 820: The girl doesn’t mind the two of them staying?

The drizzle outside the window was still falling, and the girls' conversation over tea continued inside the house.

"Ms. Alice, are you usually alone?"

"Ah."

“Why did you choose to live here?”

“I don’t like places with too many people.”

The girls were still chatting idly, but most of the time it was Kato Megumi who was talking and Alice just responded simply.

Her cold reaction made people feel that she didn't welcome the two of them very much, but her actual actions showed otherwise.

Xia Zhi thought about it and drank the remaining coffee in the cup... This was his fifth cup of coffee.

Every time he finished drinking, a puppet would come over with a coffee pot to help him refill it.

It seemed that even though the girl was fiddling with the doll and chatting with Kato Megumi, she still had some of her thoughts on him.

Xia Zhi thought to himself and touched the head of the little doll who helped refill the coffee as a thank you.

The puppet raised its head and glared at him, then flew away again with the coffee pot.

Unlike the shy doll just now, this one seemed to have a bad temper... It seemed like she was the one who glared at me when I first entered the room and sat down?

Each doll has its own different personality.

Xia Zhi sighed in his heart, raised his head and continued to look out the window

The rain outside seemed to be gradually fading away, as if it was about to stop.

This is good news.

However, even if I don't stop, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong in staying here for an afternoon... Kato Megumi seems to like girls very much.

However, they stayed temporarily under the pretext of avoiding the rain. If the rain stops, there will be no reason for them to stay any longer, right?

Xia Zhi picked up the coffee and took a sip, continuing to think in his mind.

After leaving here, where should we go?

As for time, because of the delay, there is only one or two hours left before dark, so I can only visit one or two more places at most.

Just as I originally planned, I'll take Hui to see how people here live.

After making up his mind, Xia Zhi raised his head and looked out the window again.

Before I knew it, the rain had stopped.

Alice didn't mean to chase them out, as if she had forgotten what she had just said: "You should leave after the rain stops."

However, thinking about it carefully, although she asked them to leave, she didn't seem to say how long they had to wait after the rain stopped before they left?

While thinking, Xia Zhi drank the coffee in the cup again. The little doll in a blue and white maid skirt immediately flew up and wanted to refill his cup.

But after pouring a few times, only less than a quarter of a cup of coffee was poured out.

The little doll lifted the coffee pot again, and seeing that no more liquid could flow out of it, a puzzled expression appeared on his little face.

so cute.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but think again.

Logically speaking, there is no need for the doll to express such rich emotions.

It should be considered another form of puppet show.

"Let me do it."

Looking at the little doll who turned around and seemed to be preparing to make another pot of tea, Xia Zhi stood up from his seat.

It feels like a puppet, and it's a bit difficult to make coffee. It would be bad if the clothes on my body get dirty.

Moreover, after all, he basically finished the pot of wine by himself, and it was very kind of the girl to not mind giving him unlimited refills. It would be a bit embarrassing to ask her to help him make more.

Alice didn't say anything. The doll hesitated for a moment, bowed slightly to him, turned around and continued to fly towards the kitchen, as if to lead the way for him.

Xia Zhi followed.

Although his cooking skills were average, he still knew how to make coffee because he had worked in a maid cafe before.

…But, I haven’t tried to make tea myself for such a long time, so my skills shouldn’t have deteriorated, right?

Xia Zhi thought to himself with some worry, looked at the little doll floating in front of him and asked, "What do you think?"

"?"

The little doll tilted its head slightly, seeming a little confused.

"If I don't make it well and have to go back to the furnace to make it again, don't tell your master." Xia Zhi whispered to her.

Upon hearing this, the little doll showed a hesitant look on his face.

"If you agree, I will give you a very beautiful gift specially for you later."

Her eyes seemed to light up and she nodded quickly.

"Then this is our agreement."

Xia Zhi said this, reaching out and touching her little head again.

This time the puppet showed no resistance. After allowing him to caress it for a while, it turned around and flew towards the kitchen.

Fortunately, although the technique was a little unfamiliar, he still remembered the process and skills to some extent. After failing once, Xia Zhi regained his feeling and successfully brewed a pot of coffee, so it was not too embarrassing.

He beckoned the doll to land on his shoulders, wanting to take her back with him.

But the little doll didn't listen to him and fell directly on his head.

...Forget it, just put it on the head. The kitten sometimes likes to climb to that place.

Xia Zhi thought about it and prepared to return to his original room with his coffee.

However, on the way back, when he passed by a room in the corridor, he was slightly stunned.

Through the half-open door, one can see that unlike the style outside, there are not many dolls placed in this room, and there are not many signs of life, indicating that this should not be the girl’s bedroom, but a room like a guest room.

In the room, you can see several puppets busying themselves arranging the sheets, quilts and pillows.

One of the puppets seemed to have discovered him, turned around and made a cross gesture to him, as if to remind him that this place was not ready yet and he could not move in for the time being.

Even the bed is made?

This is no longer the point of staying to avoid the rain, right?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

If Xia Zhi didn't know the girl's kind personality, and that as a human being in the past, she would not do something like cannibalism, he would probably think that this abnormal enthusiasm was an attempt to do something bad to them.

Anyway, regardless of whether they will stay or not...why only one room was prepared?

Does that mean that in the arrangement Alice had in mind, two of the three of them must sleep together?

Taking gender factors into consideration, if I were to stay in a separate room...

"...Are you attracted by our Jia Hui's beauty?" After thinking for a moment, he asked the puppet lying on his head.

A "井" character appeared on the little doll's head, and the clenched little fist kept hitting him on the head.

The force was very light and I could hardly feel any pain. It was more like playing than hitting someone in anger.

However, her reaction also showed that she probably didn't think that way.

But if not...

"Are you attracted by my beauty?" After hesitating for a moment, Xia Zhi changed his mind and asked.

Little puppet: “…”

.......

Chapter 821: Farewell Gift

After saying goodbye to the dolls in the room, Xia Zhi returned to his original room.

As soon as he came back, the little doll lying on his head flew up and landed back on Alice's shoulder. Xia Zhi couldn't help but look at the girl, thinking back to what happened just now, and couldn't help but stare at her for a few more seconds.

"What's wrong?" Alice showed a strange expression.

"...No, it's nothing."

Xia Zhi shook his head, sat down, poured coffee into his own cup, and refilled the two girls' cups which were almost empty.

"How does it taste?" Xia Zhi asked expectantly after seeing the two girls had tasted it.

"Feels... a little different from before?"

After thinking carefully for a moment, Kato Hui gave an answer

"I'm sorry, I don't know much about coffee, so I can't explain it clearly... But it tastes good too."

It’s no wonder, after all, I added a lot of sugar.

Xia Zhi thought about it and set his eyes on the girl beside him.

Alice hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Not bad."
