Evolution of a Girl

The thought made his hands tremble and his breathing quicken.

"Tianyin." He started.

"Yes." It was obviously a hard shell, but at this moment it seemed as soft as water.

"Go study for the exam," he said. "Shinhama Metropolitan University."

Shinhama is the capital, an artificial city on the sea west of Osaka. It is a real place full of people.

The girl fell into a rare silence.

"Amane. Let's go to Shinhama."

He said.

"Yes."

She complied.

After waking up from a coma, Yikui turned off Otonashi 002, stopped monitoring, and cleared the data.

Tianyin didn't say anything.

"Take off the shell." Yikui found Tianyin.

"Dad?" Tianyin was a little confused.

"A puppet can't survive in Shinhama," he said. "Learn... to become a human."

"Ah."

Yikui helped Tianyin shed the puppet shell.

The girl's face was revealed.

Although still immature, Tianyin's physical growth has almost reached perfection.

That is the posture that a seventeen-year-old girl full of purity and vitality should have. It is a delicate state between adolescence and youth, between immaturity and maturity.

That was an age full of endless possibilities.

The golden hair slowly fell down.

Blue eyes looked at Yikui.

"Dad, let me take this to the quiet room."

"Ah."

Tianyin assembled the puppet shell and brought it to the room.

only……

There is no more voice of the "Puppet God" here.

Tianyin placed the puppet shell here, stared at it for a long time, and then left.

"Thank you for your hard work, Tianyin."

Yikui has already prepared dinner.

"Ah."

The girl nodded and ate her meal obediently.

"As expected of my dad's cooking, it's delicious as always."

After growing up, the girl becomes less innocent and more reserved.

"Why did Dad turn off Otonashi?" Tianyin asked.

"Because it's no longer needed." Yikui said.

"Well, leave it to do housework." Tianyin blinked and looked at Xingle Yikui, "Besides, if I go to Xinbin to go to university, there will be no one to take care of Dad!"

"Keep it—"

The azure eyes looked at Yikui, and these eyes seemed to overlap with another pair of amber eyes, and memories were intertwined at this time.

"No." Yikui shook his head.

"Yes." Tianyin didn't say much.

From that day on, Tianyin seemed to have returned to a normal life.

As the new semester began, Tianyin began preparing for the exam - although for her, this was almost unnecessary.

"Mr. Kamishiro, the number of visitors to the Puppet Festival is increasing, and it's becoming very difficult for us to manage. If possible, could we move the Puppet Festival into the town?"

By the end of the year, official personnel also came.

It can be considered as going with the flow.

The number of people participating in the Puppet Festival has been increasing.

In contrast, the population of the Puppet Village has been decreasing. Officials plan to relocate the remaining fifty-odd people of the Puppet Village to the town, merging the village with the town.

Doing so may seem like taking advantage of someone's misfortune, but for Shendai Yikui, it is no longer important.

The authorities have discovered the revenue-generating potential of the tourism industry, which will become a new economic growth point, and the Puppet Festival will exist as a commercialized festival.

But for Yikui, it is time for everything to end.

"Dad, do I need to continue going to the Puppet Festival?" After the officials in the town left, Tianyin walked to Yikui's side.

"Well. Besides, by this time next year, you will already be in Xinbin. Just forget about it, that's all." Yikui said.

The girl nodded.

Then came February.

Tianyin went to Xinbin.

Although online schools can also take exams, it is difficult to detect online cheating. Therefore, for exams, you still need to go to the local area to take the exam.

Taking the Shinkansen, Tianyin arrived at Shinhama.

Xinbin is a big city, a completely modern place, completely different from the Puppet Village.

There are hustle and bustle of traffic everywhere, and the towering buildings and hurried pedestrians together constitute the scenery here.

There are no muddy paths and no mottled houses.

This is a world made up of electronics and the Internet.

But this prosperous scenery cannot keep the girl’s thoughts.

The examination venue is Shinhama Metropolitan University.

It wasn't a top-tier institution, but it wasn't a fake one either. In every sense, it was a relatively good university, well-equipped, with a large area and a large number of students and teachers.

However, he still couldn't keep Tianyin's heart.

After completing the school exams, Tianyin took the Shinkansen and hurried back to the town, then changed trains and returned to the Puppet Village.

Puppet Village was even quieter than usual.

Because the authorities have begun mobilizing everyone to move into the town, there are not many residents left here.

It was deserted here, with only those rotten puppets that were completely unable to move.

As for those that could move, most of them were also relocated.

In the shrine, the cherry trees are still blooming as usual, but it is still deserted.

Then, Tianyin saw Yikui lying under the tree.

"father!"

She walked over and moved the puppet to the wooden corridor.

The weather in February was a bit chilly, and Yikui's body was also cold.

Fortunately, he woke up quickly.

"Tianyin..." he murmured.

"Dad." The girl held the puppet's hand, "Please let me... become a real puppet!"

……

Seven...more...

I can still fight...

Chapter 102 The End of the Sad Wish

The hair fell to the ground.

The Kuruo Zen technique that Tianyin had learned was complained by Tianyin as the Hair Growth Zen technique, because after practicing this technique, its only function for Tianyin seemed to be to control the growth of his own hair.

She can quickly have beautiful hair, but can also lose it in an instant.

It was a basically useless ability, but Tianyin used it briefly to complete the outfit.

The telepathic framework has been mentioned again in the past two years.

But not in the mass market, but in the aerospace field.

The telepathic capabilities of the Telepathic Frame itself were no longer needed, but the suit's built-in circulatory system inspired the development of a new generation of spacesuits.

The official name of the telepathic frame after the material was changed is the "personal space system", but researchers seem to simply call it the life support system.

Although it looks like a thin tights, it is different from the previous ones. After being put on, this tights will gradually harden. Only a few joints can move, which will limit the wearer's range of movement.

But it doesn’t matter to Tianyin because she already has a CC chip.

After completing the construction of the costume, all that remained in Yikui's eyes was a black human figure.

He picked up the golem shell.

This is the last set of puppet shells. Since Tianyin’s growth has been completed, there is no need to leave any leftovers.

The installation starts from the body, which is divided into three parts: breastplate, waist and hips.

Then there are the legs.

First of all, there are the spherical joints on both sides of the thighs. After all, the human body is not a puppet, so the spherical joints here are actually semicircular structures covering the legs, but they look like spherical joints from the outside.

Coming to the feet, the toes are more troublesome, and each toe must be camouflaged separately.

Then the shoulders.

Carefully, the structure disguised as a ball joint is placed over the shoulder, and then the carapace of the upper arm is closed.

Then the elbows, same ball joints.

Finally, the fingers.

The fingers are the most dexterous part, so a lot of adjustments are required. It is not easy to move while ensuring a flawless appearance.

Finally, the head.

The skull cap fits perfectly against Tianyin's head, completely covering it.

Then comes the sealing and bonding.

The adhesive prepared by Yikui is a special adhesive whose function is to connect the molecular chains between materials, that is, to make the materials themselves become one.

Otonashi 002 also helped Tianyin get dressed.

Yikui was no longer able to help Tianyin put on this set of equipment by himself.

After applying the adhesive, this puppet shell completely locked Tianyin.

After all this was done, Yikui picked up a wig.
