In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

Frost Star still did not give her own answer in the end.

The cold-looking Custer girl just said silently that she couldn't make a decision and left the hunter's cabin.

Maria was in no hurry.

After waiting for a while, she and a few companions also walked up to Maria.

After a long pause, she pursed her lips silently.

"We...are willing to take the oath."

"This is enough."

After receiving the promise, Maria nodded.

She didn't do anything formally... In this world between reality and dreams, the doll can take care of everything for him.

She just wanted an attitude.

After all, you can control a bird's body in a cage, but you can never control its heart that wants to fly.

On the contrary, even if it was just a verbal promise, Maria had a message to keep him safe in his cage forever.

As she thought about it, she silently pushed the still warm black tea beside her.

"Although I feel I have fulfilled his wish, what I promised you was my blood... I will not play with words. I will stick to my promise, just like I promised you."

Maria said, looking at the girl with the big white rabbit in front of her again.

After hesitating for a while, the other party also stepped forward and drank the tea in a very rough manner.

Maria frowned slightly at the rough move.

Although this cup of black tea is just a ritual, isn't it inappropriate to drink it so roughly?

But she didn't say much. She just looked at Frost Star staring blankly at the gradually rising temperature of her body, and then spoke calmly.

"Then you can act on your own..."

"Action...by yourself?"

Frost Star was a little dazed.

"Yharnam can't greet the sun. Although your bodies won't experience any changes, I don't think you'll want to actively get used to not eating... You need to build your own resting places and food supplies."

Maria said this, turning her head again and looking at the other person.

"Do you expect me to raise you?"

"……No."

Frost Star turned her head away, absolutely refusing to admit that she had just had such a parasitic thought.

After all, although Maria said nice things and allowed them to move freely in this area of ​​Yharnam, in Frost Star's heart, he and others would probably be concentrated in one area and kept under surveillance like livestock.

But I didn't expect...Maria really intended to ignore them.

As long as they don't want to leave Yharnam...

This made her a little overwhelmed.

But fortunately, the puppet next to him had anticipated all this.

She quietly took out the map from the table beside her and placed it in front of everyone.

"You seem to be a tribe adapted to the snowfields... but unfortunately, there are no snowfields in Yharnam for you to live on. However, there is an area in the north where the temperature may be satisfactory for you..."

The puppet spoke softly, with a gentle expression as if he had already made all the plans.

The members of the Snow Monster Team looked at it for a few seconds and nodded silently, setting an example of affirmation.

In that case, Frost Star has nothing more to say.

After looking at Maria deeply, she turned around silently and chose to leave.

Maria still sat in her seat.

At the side, the gentle doll turned its head slightly and looked at Maria.

"Good Hunter..."

"You always do things that I can't understand, puppet."

Maria turned her head and gently extended her hand.

The doll also bent down gently and placed its face on Maria's cool hand.

Like a cat, she rubbed against him slightly.

"This time, they stayed here. Was that in your prediction?"

"I don't deny that I had such thoughts, but in the end they really stayed here, which was still beyond my expectations."

The doll spoke softly, and her eyes, which seemed full of maternal love to the outside world, could never suppress her restless desires and emotions when she looked at Maria.

The excitement made the little girl beside him turn her head away consciously.

In a trance, the gray-white pupils took the shape of a heart.

"Their situation is actually similar to yours... except that you are no longer the struggling hunter."

"I know you don't want to admit your identity. In my eyes, you are still that gentle, kind, proud, yet lovable hunter who isn't good at expressing himself."

"I know you still intend to face the dangers of this world on your own... to hunt those beasts."

"I also know that these people may not even reach your level of ability."

"But even so, I hope that there is someone to accompany you on your hunting journey."

The doll said this, and for the first time, took the initiative to reach out and hold Maria's hand that was caressing her face.

She gently took off Maria's leather gloves. Looking at the slender white fingers, she resisted the urge to hold them in her mouth. She silently took off the clothes that were in the way on her chest and pressed them against her chest.

Soft, comfortable, with a smooth feel and a beautiful micro-pink color.

But there is no temperature.

"I am just a puppet, a replica of you. I can never be by your side, fighting alongside you..."

The puppet said, silently opening its eyes.

The eyeballs were simply carved out of jewels, yet at this moment they revealed a hint of sadness.

She knew clearly what she could and could not do.

She was just a tool that avoided being destroyed in the disaster that devastated Yharnam because she depended on Maria.

If one day, Yanan encountered a disaster of extinction again, she didn't know whether she could still stay with Maria.

This kind hunter has lost so much and experienced so much.

She didn't want to see Maria hiding in the corner alone and silent again.

The existence of the Snow Monster Squad is actually an attempt on her part.

Perhaps one day, she could also train a hunter who was as good as Maria... to replace herself and accompany Maria.

As for herself...

As long as Maria can still remember that there was such a doll, she will be satisfied...

As the puppet thought about it, it felt that the hand it was holding did not move, and it slowly tried to stand up.

But before she could straighten her waist, a force suddenly came from her chest.

It was a little painful, so Maria grabbed the soft part with force and pulled it over.

"Eh?"

The stunned puppet just lay on Maria's knees, a little dazed.

After a moment, Maria slowly reached out and cupped her cheek.

"What a mischievous hunter..."

The puppet smiled helplessly, thinking that this was another thing Maria wanted to study.

This wasn't the first time this had happened, did Maria think she would be fooled again?

It’s really… really…

The puppet's thoughts were not yet complete.

The delicate touch caused her pupils to slowly widen.

The two faces are pressed together...

Soft, tasteless, yet with an intoxicating sweetness...

Eh?

Chapter 174: Random Thoughts

"I don't like replacing certain memories with something else... a doll."

Maria stood up and left this warm little house after saying these inexplicable words, leaving the doll still kneeling on the ground in a daze, with its eyes wide open and a face full of confusion.

She hesitated for a long time and stretched out her hand timidly.

She gently touched the edge of her lips... because she was too stunned just now, she couldn't feel where Maria's extremely restrained kiss landed.

But she could feel a hint of moisture at the corners of her mouth.

Did they kiss on the mouth?

No... Impossible, a weird hunter wouldn't be so direct...

But... she just kissed me for the first time, so expressing it directly... doesn't seem impossible?

No...wait, doll, what are you thinking?!

The doll stiffly raised its slender hands, and after being in a daze for a long time, it slowly covered its cheeks with its hands.

She was still kneeling on the ground, her body slowly arched, her head lowered, not letting anyone see her expression.

Is...is it true?

Was I just dreaming?

No... I couldn't be dreaming, so... it must be real. The hunter... really kissed me...

ah? ! ! ! !

The puppet felt like its body was about to collapse.

Her body didn't rely on blood to power it, so she couldn't have any temperature... but in fact, she could feel her whole body starting to burn hotly.

Maria...

hunter……

The doll raised her head from the darkness with a blush on her face, and a blush appeared on her originally cool and charming face, making her graceful posture even more alluring.

But after a long silence, she slowly stood up, took a few deep breaths, and returned to her original posture.

She raised her head slightly, looked at the dark ceiling, and silently closed her eyes, recalling Maria's back as she left just now...

With a bit of haste and stiffness... This state should not appear in Maria, who is known for her physical ability.

It seems that even she wasn't as calm as she appeared when she just acted towards the doll...

Hunter... she's also very shy...

Thinking of this, the puppet couldn't help but smile.

After another pause, she turned her head and looked at the little Baoshen who was covering his face with his hands and looking excited.

Although she has now almost become a maid who takes care of the hunter's cabin for Maria and the dolls, Xiao Baohan has not forgotten why she chose to work in the systems field.

Isn’t it just what you want to see such a scene that makes girls’ hearts flutter?

Especially when she saw the doll that usually showed no emotion now doing such shy girlish actions, she was extremely excited.

After noticing that his boss was looking at him, Xiao Baohan wanted to cover it up, so he immediately turned his head and pretended he saw nothing.

The doll was in a good mood at the moment, so she simply didn't pursue the other person's peeking behavior. She just immersed herself in the sweetness for a while and then turned her head away.
