Act 441. The cat and the maid will be useful
“...... So, this is really an alchemical doll made by Master Hohenheim. ”
In the room that Reiner had arranged for Halleyson, Claire looked up and down at the beautiful but expressionless maid Halleyson.
Halleyson stood on the edge of the bed, staring straight ahead, not minding Claire's opinion of herself.
"Can you confirm that...... Well, with your magic level, you probably can't confirm that. ”
Reiner thought about it, when they met for the first time, he didn't even see through Halleyson's disguise, he just felt that he was a strange girl, and the second meeting, if it weren't for the fact that Reiner had become a high-level mage and had physical contact with Halleyson, he couldn't see the essence of Halleyson at first sight, and Master Hohenheim's level could be seen.
But this also leads to the fact that no matter how Claire observes, she can't see that Halleyson is any different from ordinary human girls, and although she reluctantly accepts Reiner's explanation, she always has a grudge against it.
"Sure, Halleson is indeed an alchemy doll, and if Miss Claire doesn't mind, I can prove it to you."
Halleyson was quite cooperative, hugging Claire gently, letting her head fit against her chest.
"What a big ......"
Before Claire's first emotion was finished, she was attracted by a wonderful sound.
It is a sound similar to the beating of the heart, and if you don't pay attention, you will definitely think that it is a normal heartbeat, but if you listen carefully at this distance, you can feel that this beating is very different from that of humans.
That's too regular.
Although a normal person's heartbeat will be maintained at a stable level most of the time, it is only relatively stable, and with the change of actions and emotions, there will still fluctuate after all, but Halleyson's heartbeat has always maintained the same speed, every minute and second.
Although warm and soft in Halleyson's arms, this regular heartbeat tells Claire that this is not an ordinary human, but an alchemy doll.
Halleyson gently let go of Claire, who had a somewhat surprised expression, and did not speak.
"It turned out to be true."
Claire looked at Halleyson, then at Reiner.
"Reiner, you can't just call Helletson just because she's an alchemy doll!"
Claire said earnestly, and she gently took Halleyson's hand.
"Don't worry, no one dares to bully you here, everyone is a very kind person."
"I understand."
Halleyson still had the same poker face, and no change in expression was noticeable.
But judging by the subtle connection between the two that Reiner felt, the maid seemed a little confused.
"Then I'll go to the lounge first, today is Reiner's welcome party, and I got everyone ready."
Claire said, leaving the room first, leaving only Halleyson and Reiner.
"Well, I told you, although Claire is not very good at magic, she is very kind in nature."
Reiner said as he looked at the expressionless Halleyson.
"Helletsen couldn't understand that there was no need for humans to have too much affection for alchemy dolls, and the tools weren't worth the investment."
Halleyson said, tilting his head slightly, a slight deflection that was almost imperceptible to others, but Reiner could easily notice.
It's no wonder that the Magic Association has always forbidden alchemical beings to be made to look like humans, and those who are inferior and don't even have intelligence are not mentioned for the time being, alchemy dolls like Halleyson, written by Master Hohenheim, are indeed easy for people to blur the boundaries between humans and dolls.
"As I said, it's your choice to become a human or continue to be a puppet, but that doesn't affect our attitude towards you, well, at least Claire shouldn't mind who you are."
Reiner then explained a few more things and informed Halleyson of the time and place of his dinner before leaving the room.
Now there was only one Halleyson left in the room.
She just stood in the brand-new room, and Halleyson checked the surroundings.
It was indeed a simple room, with only an empty desk and chair, a bed covered with futon, no other clothes in the wardrobe, and the bathroom and toilet were naturally brand new without any signs of use.
Although Phyllis has been following Phyllis in the past, Phyllis has never arranged a separate room for Helethon, in fact, Phyllis always hopes that Helletsen can sleep with her, but every time Helletson is categorically refused, in the face of Phyllis, who has the power of "lust" in the Serpent of Chaos, even Helletsen must always keep himself awake.
Before falling into a deep sleep, during the period of traveling on the mainland, Halleyson did not have a so-called "home", she mostly stayed in the wild, and was lucky enough to find a dry cave, and if she was unlucky, she could only carry large leaves, although Halleyson would not get sick and did not need to eat, but her clothes were still not very decent.
At first, when she was wandering alone, Halleyson received help from some people who warmly invited Halleyson to stay in her home, but at night, the men tried to perform some ill-delict attempts against Halleyson, and she was finally knocked unconscious by Halleyson, and she escaped herself.
As a result, Halleyson had never had the concept of her own room, and she was extremely confused.
Just as she returned to her bedroom after checking the bathroom and bathroom, there was an uninvited guest.
"Huh."
A striped kitten was sitting on Halleyson's brand-new bed, licking its fur and outstretching its paws, seemingly out of sight.
"Cats?"
Of course, Halleyson knew cats, and she just stood there, quietly watching the kitten groom on her bed, without the slightest intention of leaving.
"Huh?"
The kitten seemed to notice Halleyson's presence, and just froze in the process of sitting on the bed and licking the hair on his belly, and for a moment, the man and the cat were speechless.
After about a minute, the kitten continued its steps, and when it was cleaned up, it jumped out of bed and walked around Halleyson, rubbing the end of its tail against Halleyson's calf.
"Huh?"
Halleyson tilted his head, not knowing what the kitten wanted, but the kitten didn't seem to care, looked at the house again, and swaggered away through the main entrance.
After the kitten left, Halleyson noticed that her brand new quilt had been stained with some of the cat's fallen hair, and she reached for it to pick it up, only to find that there was a slight residual temperature in the place where the kitten had slept just now.
It was warm.
