Chapter 3: The Golden Fairy (1)
What kind of person is this, no, it should be a puppet to be exact.
This is probably the most realistic doll Allen has ever seen.
A delicate doll that is nearly life-size and about 140 centimeters tall.
The long ribbon-like blonde hair, draped like a velvet turban, naturally hangs down at the feet of the small leather shoes, the pupils shone with an almost transparent emerald green, and the side face has the coldness characteristic of pottery.
The doll is dressed in a Gothic-style outfit decorated with ribbons and high-end lace, and the side face is a cold beauty that is difficult to judge.
Although she didn't say anything, Ai Yue was obviously dissatisfied with Ai Lian's performance, and seeing Ai Lian looking at the puppet in front of her without saying a word, Ai Yue stepped on Ai Lian violently.
"Ahh
Seeing the expression of Ai Lian, who was still not self-aware, Ai Yue turned around with a "hum" and turned her eyes to the puppet on the side.
Just when Eren and Ai Yue were a little fascinated by it, the puppet - no, it was the girl who suddenly spoke.
"I don't know what you misunderstood, but the place where you are staying now is my home. ”
The sudden sound, as cold as the unchanging snow on the Charald Snow Mountain not far away, made the two of them gasp. The incongruity of appearance and voice makes the girl in front of her, who obviously looks like she is only a teenager, feel more old.
Ignoring the stares of the two of them, the girl who was so perfect that she mistook it for a puppet didn't say much.
"I'm sorry to step into your home without your permission, that... Eren finally gathered his thoughts a little, and then apologized.
"Victoria. ”
"Huh?"
The girl's cold voice sounded again, "My name, Victoria." What's your name?"
Elian then remembered that he hadn't made any introductions, which was indeed a bit rude. It was the first time that Elian, who was so rude in front of a lady and claimed to be a gentleman, was so embarrassed.
"My name is Eileen, Eileen Aitto. This is, well, it should be my sister, her name is Ai Yue. ”
Hearing Ai Lian's words, Ai Yue on the side obviously couldn't sit still, she interrupted Ai Lian's words with a shout, and introduced herself to Victoria in front of her: "Wait! I'm not your sister! Again, my name is Ai Yue, it's his wife, wife!"
"Hey-" Ai Lian was helpless about this, after all, it was not the first time Ai Yue had said such a thing.
"I see, so you are the "Grim Reaper who comes with spring", and this is the wife of the Grim Reaper?" the girl smiled inexplicably, and her cold expression made Elian shudder a little.
"Huh?" Ai Lian had never heard of such a title, and he would not show people such a middle two name, it was a shame.
"Don't you know? It's one of the most popular sayings in this musty town that "a traveler who comes in spring will bring death to the town." It is said that this town itself is very unreliable, and it is natural that this kind of strange talk will be heard. Victoria was obviously aware of the oddities, but the way she laughed now was more like a doll than she had been.
"However, there are not only two of us who have come here now, there are quite a few people outside!" Arian retorted casually, but was met with even more intense contempt from the blonde girl.
Victoria glanced at Eren with an expression like "It's a shame, your brain", and a sneer appeared on her face: "Hmm, tell you." No matter how you explain it, you can't get rid of this reality! The black-haired and black-eyed traveler fits the image of the Grim Reaper. ”
"This... Judging a person by his eyes and hair color alone is too abnormal in this town!" No wonder there are always some children staring at them at lunchtime, and then they are stopped by the adults around them. So that's the problem.
"Whatever you want, anyway, with the death of death, what is the matter with you coming to my house?" Vittoriga returned to her original expression, and the smile that had just been short-lived seemed to be an illusion of Ellian.
"Ah, I'm sorry, we thought there was no one living here, so we're leaving. Although he was dissatisfied with the tone of the girl's speech, this was someone's home after all, and Ai Lian took Ai Yue's hand and prepared to leave here.
"Goo... The moment the two stepped out of the house, their stomachs scrambled to make a humiliating sound.
"You are, forget it, you just stay. Lest we starve death to death in our town, that would be true to the name of our town, but the mayor will not be happy. Victoria's voice came from behind the two of them, originally Ai Lian didn't plan to continue to trouble the blonde girl, but as soon as Ai Yue heard that there was something to eat, she didn't care about anything, and took Ai Lian's hand and returned to the center of the room.
"Wait a minute. Victoria didn't say anything, but silently lit the fire alone, and then took out two cold steamed buns from his arms.
Seeing the steamed buns gradually roasting on the fire, Ai Lian didn't say much, he didn't know what words to use to communicate with the girl in front of him. I don't know what to say now.
"Give. Victoria picked out some charred steamed buns with a stick, thought for a moment, broke one of them in half, and handed it to Elian along with the other.
Looking at the girl with some black charcoal on her face, Ai Lian did not take the steamed bun in her hand, but motioned for Ai Yue to take the remaining half of the steamed bun.
"It's okay, I can't eat so much. Seeing that Eren didn't intend to accept it, Victoria retracted her hand, but didn't know what to say.
Silence spread among the trio. There was only the sound of Victoria and Ai Yue munching on steamed buns in the air.
"Now, Victoria. Just as the silence grew more and more solemn, Elian broke the atmosphere first. "Not sure why you want to stay here though. But, thank you anyway. ”
Victoria placed the remaining steamed bun in Eren's hand, and then slowly sat down on the other side of the fire, as if a fairy was whispering, "Do you want to know? ”
Looking at Victoria, who had a cold, indifferent face. Ai Lian knew that from her slightly trembling shoulders, she could know that the girl in front of her was definitely not as strong as she imagined, "If you can, listening to a girl's story is also a gentleman's rule." ”
Ai Lian handed the steamed bun in his hand to Ai Yue, and then sat down gently beside Victoria.
