Evolution of a Girl

This is a wig made from Tianyin's hair.

The girl slowly opened her eyes.

The eyes made of sapphires sparkled with starlight.

The girl's humanity has been left in the shell of the past, and what remains here is just a puppet.

The puppet girl stood up.

Just like those robots without AI, they just stand there.

This is so sparkly.

This is so beautiful.

This life that is alive and yet dead!

This dead yet alive puppet!

Yikui's hands were trembling.

He finally completed his final masterpiece.

Perfect girl.

Perfect puppet.

She exists here.

The puppet, having exhausted its last bit of strength, finally fell down.

The puppet has lost consciousness.

It's just an automaton in motion.

Yikui's body became weaker and weaker, so the puppet took care of him.

No unnecessary words.

Because it's just a puppet.

No unnecessary movements.

Because it's just a puppet.

No extra emotions.

Because it is not life.

Everything was as Yikui had originally envisioned.

Yikui lingers on this ultimate puppet.

He wanted to turn the doll back into his daughter, but this ultimate existence made him extremely obsessed.

The life that exists here becomes the ultimate existence.

However, gradually, Yikui realized that the puppet had already turned into a human.

Because, this is just a puppet.

Yikui completed the ultimate creation.

But what remains in my heart is endless emptiness.

The weather is getting hotter.

July is the time for the Puppet Festival.

Tokina Shrine should be bustling with activity.

However, this year's Puppet Village was extremely deserted, with not even many people around.

Because all the prosperity has moved to the town.

Yikui's mind became increasingly unclear. When he woke up occasionally, he could see the puppet-like girl taking care of him.

No words, no movements, just the puppeteer and his puppet.

That's it.

When he woke up today, Yikui seemed to remember it.

"Today is the Puppet Festival," he said.

"Yes." The inorganic voice of the puppet girl sounded.

"Oh." He sat up with the help of the puppet girl and looked at the scenery outside the window.

Although August is still midsummer, the cherry blossoms on the evergreen trees never wither.

The cherry blossoms today seem particularly beautiful.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the cherry blossoms fell with the wind.

The falling cherry blossoms seem to turn the shrine into a sea of cherry blossoms.

I thought of Shiyin and Liuli in a trance.

They will definitely like this cherry blossom.

Then the puppet girl's hand rested on his own.

This is already a puppet.

No thoughts are left, only the last work of oneself.

That's it.

However, the void in my heart was not filled.

Is it because the future of humanity has not yet been redeemed?

Or lament the premature end of your life?

"What on earth am I expecting... What on earth... do I want to do..."

"You're just looking for love, Dad."

The puppet girl… no, Tianyin spoke.

Yikui turned and looked at the other party.

Although he was clearly covered by the shell, he seemed to see the other person's smile.

That was... a familiar, gentle smile, the same one my wife and daughter gave me back then.

At this moment, Yikui understood.

The girl didn't know nothing.

She understands everything.

There has never been any brainwashed girl.

There has never been any puppet girl.

Only the finished product that you expect.

She was just doing what was expected of her.

She... was just redeeming herself.

Ahhh.

Understood.

Ahhh.

Everything is understood.

She is not an ignorant girl.

She was just... showing herself mercy.

She just is.

To yourself.

Stretched out his hand.

That's it.

She was not the Son of God given by God, she was just a daughter who came into this world in response to her own wish...

From the very beginning, she appeared as her father's daughter, and she just tried hard to do what her father wanted to do.

At the end of the sad wish, Kamishiro Gikui finally knew what he wanted.

He just wanted to live with his family.

"I see." He suddenly realized, "I just... want... to be loved."

……

Combined with the previous, everyone should understand the essence of Tianyin~

Chapter 103 Yang Yan Waiting for Huang Quan

The girl came into the world in response to the wish.

It exists only to fulfill one person's wish.

"Thank you so much for all this time, Otonashi."

With Otonashi's help, Tianyin changed into formal ceremonial attire.

A gorgeous crown, a pure white top, and crimson long hakama.

The real puppet girl ignored Tianyin and picked up the drumsticks and shamisen. Because she was a puppet, she had no problem operating multiple instruments.

"This is the final festival."

A song sung for this world.

The witch came under Changying.

The cold moonlight poured down from the sky, illuminating the strange cherry blossoms.

Today is the Puppet Festival.

This is the final ceremony of the shrine maiden.

The Kagura bell swayed gently.

Then came the sound of drums.

The half-lying puppet turned its head and looked towards the courtyard.

The singing is clear and melodious.

"Kage flames are waiting for you."

Yangyan is waiting for the underworld.

The so-called sun flame is the light at sunrise.

Emerging from the underworld, reaching the sky, awakening the world.

Ancient ballads float in the sky.

"Kage flames are waiting for you."

"Saki, flower, god, pray."
