09 Dolls

"Hey...... You—You live here too? ”

“……”

walked all the way to the downstairs of the high-end apartment, and Ji Feng, who was very clumsy in dealing with girls, finally held back another sentence. Youxi nodded silently, and then pressed the password and walked into the tempered glass door that slowly slid open to both sides, and Ji Feng, who was almost ignored, hurriedly followed, and walked through the hall with her, standing in the same elevator together.

Not...... It would be nice if the elevator suddenly broke down at this time.

In the elevator where there were only two people, he and Youxi, Ji Feng naturally flashed such a thought, but it was a pity that he was not a spring day, and he didn't have the ability to make his wishes come true at all, and being able to enter the main god space was already considered that he had burned high incense for eight lifetimes - or it was bad luck for eight lifetimes.

"My name is Ji Feng, a Chinese international student in class 5 of 1 year, living at No. 607. Which apartment on the 7th floor do you live in? ”

Seeing the constantly beating numbers on the display panel, Ji Feng, who had never waited for the elevator to fail, hurriedly reported to Youxi, who was neither deliberately far away from him nor too close to him. However, Yuki, whose glasses were reflective, just looked at the elevator display panel fixedly, as if he didn't hear what he was saying at all, or pretended not to hear because he didn't want to answer.

Ahaha...... As an otaku, it's natural to be treated so coldly by a beautiful girl. But Ji Feng is not sad at all, because Youxi doesn't know that he is an otaku at all, so Youxi will not be so cold to him, this logic is not a problem at all, right?

"Yuki Nagato, 1 year 6 class, No. 708."

Just when Ji Feng was about to despair, Youxi, who had hesitated for a while, finally spit out a few phrases lightly like a code, and after she finished speaking, the elevator happened to stop on the 6th floor.

Ji Feng, who tried hard to get a response, was so excited that he almost didn't want to get out of the elevator, but he still forced himself to take a step forward with strong willpower, and re-turned the script of "I Met Yuki at a Convenience Store on the Way Home" that had been formulated in his mind, and turned around and asked while walking out:

"Hmm......

That...... Shall we eat a bento box together later? ”

“……”

"Whoa......

In an awkward silence, the elevator doors closed silently. Yuki, who is reflected in the glasses, has no reaction at all, which is a wordless refusal.

If it's three-dimensional...... No, now it's three-dimensional, it should be said that if in the past world, Ji Feng knew that he was out of play when he saw that the other party was so ignorant, then he would definitely not be like some men who would rather act as an ATM that must lose a smile, but also revolve around women's buttocks, and be courteous to them in order to get a chance to mate.

But here it is different, he knows very well that Yuki is only set to have three nos, so he will not get angry at all, let alone give up - this is very important, so be sure to say it twice!

After going home and changing out of the school uniform with the crotch zipper torn, Ji Feng, who was wearing a set of Uniqlo casual clothes, resolutely carried the lunch box and gifts to the door of apartment No. 708. He took a deep breath before he rang the doorbell, but it didn't open as a matter of course.

"Hello, I'm the classmate who came up with you just now, Ji Feng, a Chinese student from No. 607!"

Facing the cold door, Ji Feng forcibly suppressed his uneasiness, explained his identity in a voice that was as polite as possible but loud enough, and then waited quietly outside the door, without ringing the doorbell or calling the door again.

Because of the temperate oceanic monsoon climate, April in this city of Japan is only slightly milder than that of the same latitude in China, but it is still the cold spring season, not as warm as the true temperate oceanic climate. Ji Feng stood in the unenclosed corridor for a while, and began to feel a little chill on his body.

And as time went on, he felt colder and colder in the face of the door that had not been opened for a long time—not only in his hands and feet, in his ears and body, but also in his heart, which made him shiver.

But he didn't leave, and even though the other residents on the seventh floor looked at him with strange eyes of all sorts of speculations, he still stood there stubbornly, carrying a convenience store bag in his hand, like a poor man who had been turned away by his live-in girlfriend.

Ji Feng didn't fantasize that he could impress the "goddess" just by his insignificant persistence. Whether it is in the three-dimensional world or in the two-dimensional world, he has never fantasized like this.

He just wants to experience it, to experience how much difference this reality is from the dream when it becomes a reality; He just wants to verify that when the fantasy "wife" becomes a three-dimensional stranger, these familiar and strange beautiful girls can overlap with his former fantasy.

Perhaps, this is not the world he was expecting, this is just an ordinary different world. Or...... Is this because he is not the "hero" of this world?

"Click!"

I don't know how long it took, but the door to No. 708 finally opened. Yuki Nagato, who appeared in front of Ji Feng again, still hadn't changed his uniform, as if he had just entered the house.

She raised her face to look at Ji Feng's unusually calm eyes, the large square-framed glasses that could cover a third of her face were rare and without reflection, but there was no emotional fluctuation in the eyes behind the lenses that seemed to be made of inorganic matter.

She looked at Ji Feng silently like this, just like a robot, even the blinking of her eyelids was extremely regular, as if she was executing a set blinking program.

Even if Ji Feng clearly knew that Yuki Nagato was such an existence, it was a humanoid terminal created by the Information Integration Mind Body (mainstream school) to contact with organic lifeforms, a biological robot that could be treated as an "alien" in general, and a big cute god with three no attributes......

But when he looked at her seriously for the first time, he still felt a kind of sadness from the heart.

When a three-dimensional girl with no mouth, no heart, and no expression stands in front of any normal person, even if that person is the world's most homely otaku, as long as his aesthetics are normal, he will never feel that this girl has anything to be cute.

It's just a doll, no matter how beautiful it is, it's just a pretty doll.

- At this moment, Ji Feng finally understood Asuka's feelings when she disgusted Rei Ayana, who was worshiped as a "goddess" by the otaku, as a puppet.

This is indeed a doll without a soul.

Although Ji Feng will not feel disgusted by this, his heart, which has become cold, will feel sad because of this.
