"That...... Miss Alice? ”

The one who asked the question in this way was a delicate girl with long silky black hair. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info She sat on the sofa in front of the fire, wearing a green silk shawl and down, and under the staggered bangs, there were a pair of willow eyebrows and silver eyes that were slightly frowned. She looked awkwardly at the white dress on her body, which was identical to Alice's home dress, and then looked at Alice, who was standing in the distance with a drawing board, nodding and smiling.

"Aren't we making dolls, why are we the way we are?"

"Occasionally, you also need to relax and give yourself a chance to relax, Ten Loves. You don't want to follow the example of Miss Sakiya, who is used to serving tricky vampires, that would be too rigid. ”

Alice just smiled and scribbled on the drawing board in front of her, as if she was having fun with what she was doing. In fact, it is true, she didn't pay attention to Yutong Shiai's words, but took care of the color in the palette in her hand, and Yutong Shiai, who saw the other party's reaction, could only sigh, and then continued to sit on the sofa, maintaining this position.

The cause of this incident has to be said half an hour ago, Alice, who had finished playing a moonlight song, suddenly decided to continue making dolls, and this time as soon as she opened her mouth, a [Togo Aiji] popped up. Yutong Shiai had to take out the face after Yakumo Zi kneaded again, but the long-haired Togo Ai Ji was not suitable for the red-striped white robe chewer on her body, and her temperament did not match.

So Alice also changed Yutong Shiai according to the dress she is wearing now. However, instead of observing, Alice began to work as a puppet, but pulled her to sit down on the couch by the fire in the living room, and then took out her drawing board without warning and began to paint. This was also what made her feel helpless, but he didn't have anything to do, so he just sat there and followed his friend's orders.

"Okay, okay, don't look like you can't do it, it's not good to draw like this."

Alice shook her brush, clearly on her head. She kept scribbling on the canvas, and then looked up at Yutong Shiai, who was in the state of Aiji, and seemed to be serious and preachy. In this regard, Yutong Shiai can only smile bitterly. Although Her Royal Highness the princess of the Demon Realm is usually very talkative, once she decides when to do it, she will also strive for excellence.

Alice seems to be in a good mood now, and Yutong Shiai is not good at blowing her mood, so just like now, let the other party paint and paint, so that a painting is a night. Although there is no difference between day and night for two non-humans, it is convenient to interact with other humans while the sun is still there.

Looking at the sunlight shining through the window, and Alice's nodding in satisfaction, Togo Aiki was finally allowed to stand up and walk over to Alice to look at the painting. Alice's drawing skills are also quite high, perhaps thanks to her hands that are incredibly agile because of the manipulation of dolls, or perhaps because she has dabbled in them in the past days.

It was a realistic painting, and it took Alice one night to delicately depict on the canvas the delicate Oriental beauty of Togo Aiji, sitting on the sofa by the fire in a long white dress. The light of the fire reflected the gentle face of the girl, softening her originally sharp chin, which looked quiet and gentle, and the bright silver eyes were delicately outlined by Alice, in which something seemed to be brewing, but it was obscured by the reflected firelight.

"How?"

Alice turned her head to look at Yutong Shiai. Yutong Shiai couldn't help but praise her from the bottom of her heart.

"That's amazing, Alice. Alice is really all-round. ”

"It's not that exaggerated, it's just that I learned a lot of things in the past when I was idle."

Alice wasn't shy either, but then she reached out and handed the brush to Yutong Juai. Yutong Shiai was a little puzzled, but still took it, and then Alice asked again.

"So, what did Ten Love learn in the past days?"

"This ......"

Yutong Shiai showed his trademark embarrassed wry smile. Seeing the other party's expression, Alice was not surprised, but nodded as a matter of course.

"I knew that you didn't want to do anything before except to try to find Yakumo, right?"

"That's right."

The girl holding the paintbrush laughed dryly, then rubbed the long wooden handle of the paintbrush in her hand. Alice smiled at her.

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you."

“…… Let's talk about that, Alice, have you forgotten what we were supposed to do in the first place? ”

Yutong Shiai smiled bitterly and handed the brush back again. Alice nodded a little dissatisfied, but did not refute it, and then the two went to the workshop, and Alice also took out the consciousness of her work, and took out the magic materials that she had made from Patchouli.

The work proceeded in an orderly manner, as always. Alice seems to be quite attentive to Togo Aiji's human form, and every step is much more attentive than the previous Great Wind Queen, Fu Sihime, etc., so the progress has slowed down a lot.

It took a morning just to make the material into a rough shape and then finely plane. At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Yutong Shiai nodded to Alice, who raised her head, and then walked to the door, not forgetting to change back to her appearance halfway.

The door opened, and floating outside the door was a blonde girl who looked to be five or six years old, with a red hairband tied with a bow on her head, and a pair of blue shining eyes under her short warm yellow hair. Although the hair color, hairstyle and eyes are very close to Alice, the temperament is completely different.

The girl was dressed in dark red, and she was surrounded by a small doll the size of a palm. Seeing Yutong Shiai, she was stunned for a moment, then turned her body away and looked nervously behind Yutong Shiai.

"Love, Miss Alice?"

"Méti, you're here again."

Yutong Shiai didn't answer the other party, but looked at this puppet monster who didn't care much about him but was wary of Alice who hadn't appeared yet. This girl's name is Méti Xin, and she is a puppet monster who met Alice during a change last year, but for this puppet monster, the puppeteer Alice is not something to be close to.

Métixin is a puppet abandoned among the lily of the valley flowers, who has been grudging for many years, and has absorbed the poison of the lily of the valley, giving birth to a new puppet monster. It is also because of the abandoned existence that she has a considerable degree of resentment towards humans, and this resentment, combined with the power brought by her absorption of lily of the valley toxin, makes her have no self-awareness of her own power. After defeating more than a dozen humans who had strayed into the lily of the valley, she confidently rushed out of the lily of the valley garden, just in time to encounter the Great Enchantment Mutation once in sixty years. It was also after this outing that she met the puppeteer Alice.

Alice's puppets are controlled by her own magic threads, and the dolls are unable to act on their own will - in fact, there are doubts about whether the puppet has a will of its own. Méticy was unhappy with this, and she wanted to free them and let them roam as freely as Méticy. For this reason, she unknowingly challenged Alice.

But Alice just put her dolls back on the ground, and without controlling them, they lost all spirituality and collapsed on the ground.

Not every doll is a Méticy. In other words, if you want to use decades of abandoned grudges, and use the lily of the valley toxin that has penetrated into the whole body to create a doll that can finally act with her own will, the child created by such a method will definitely not be happy, and Alice will never accept such liberation.

Although Métixin said that her mind was not mature, she was still a good child in essence, and she could not refute Alice's remarks, but she still had the desire to free the puppet in her heart. So Kazami Yuka, who has a good relationship with her, suggests that she follow Alice, the puppeteer who is most familiar with dolls, to learn about dolls and find a way to better liberate dolls.

So she became a frequent visitor to Alice's mansion, and after coming and going, Yutong Shiai was also familiar with her. Méti Xin wasn't too scared of the non-human Yutong Ten Loves, she snorted and shouted loudly to herself.

"Miss Alice! Equip me with two drills this time! ”

"Huh?"

Yutong Shiai was stunned for a moment, looked at the serious poison puppet lady, and immediately thought of something.

"It's Furukawa again this time, isn't it? Last time he asked you to load a floating cannon or something, why don't you have a long memory? ”

"Humph! You have to take care of it! ”

Miss Poison Snorted at her, and then began to look inside the mansion again.
