Chapter 20: Alice, Shanghai, and Ashmida
At night, in the Forest of Magic, in a chic western-style building.
"Fortunately, Xiaoai is here, otherwise the old man would really have a headache." With a smile on his face, he took a sip of the teacup in front of him, felt the taste of the mellow tea spreading in his mouth, narrowed his eyes with great enjoyment, and exclaimed: "Xiao Ai, your skills have improved." β
"Everywhere, I learned it from you, uncle." With short blond hair, like a doll version of a delicate and beautiful girl, Alice Gertroyd's fair cheeks were stained with two blushes because of the praise of the man in front of her, and she was a little shy to put the teapot in her hand back on the table.
"But Xiaoai, you still like dolls so much." Ashmida smiled faintly, although he put down the teacup, the living room he was sitting in at the moment was full of dolls, but the placement of those dolls was not messy, all of them were carefully designed, although there were many, but they did not look messy, but had a stunning beauty.
"............" Suddenly, a man with a shawl blonde hair, sky blue eyes, a very large red ribbon bow on his head, a dark blue dress, and a red bow on his chest Wearing a short white apron characteristic of a maid, the petite little girl held a plate of cookies in both hands, floated over slowly, nodded to Alice and Ashmida, and then placed the cookies on the table, and then bowed respectfully to Ashmida and Alice, and took out a sign with both hands not knowing where to take, Hold it high.
'Bring the cookies, master. The sign reads.
"I'm sorry for you, Shanghai." Alice smiled lovingly at the doll-sized little girl and complimented softly.
"........." The little girl raised her head high, and her little face was full of happy smiles, looking very happy to be praised by Alice.
"Xiao Ai, this child, is it a puppet?" Ashmida looked at it carefully for a few moments before asking Alice with some uncertainty. Since this little girl came in, he almost didn't notice it, if it weren't for the air flow brought by the little girl's movement, he really wouldn't have been able to find out the existence of this little girl who has no breath, no, this puppet named Shanghai has a faint breath of life!! But it was so faint that it was almost impossible to find it, which made Ashmida almost think it was his own delusion.
"Yes, uncle, this child in Shanghai was created by me with my own hands" Alice proudly picked up Shanghai floating in the air, and proudly showed the doll she was proud of to Ashmida: "Shanghai has been given life by me, and it is no longer a doll without life and thoughts!" β
βοΌοΌβ Ashmida was a little surprised, the puppet was actually given life?! This can also be done??
'Xiao Ai has also grown a lot over the years. Immediately, Ashmida's heart was filled with joy.
"But, for some reason, Shanghai can't speak." Speaking of this, Alice's expression fell, and Shanghai saw the master's gloomy expression, and hurriedly floated out of Alice's arms, gently put her little hand on Alice's hair, stroked it gently, and comforted the master silently.
"Thank you, Shanghai." Seeing Shanghai's behavior, Alice couldn't help but smile, stretched out her hands, put the poster into her arms, and said softly.
'Master, it's okay if I can't speak, please don't be unhappy. Shanghai again took out a sign that read.
"What an empathetic child." Ashmida's telekinesis scanned the words on the sign and couldn't help but sigh.
"Shanghai is a good boy, but unfortunately I'm still too immature to solve this problem of her voice." Alice's little face was full of gloom and she lowered her head. Immediately, as if she remembered something, she raised her little face sharply and looked at Ashmida with anticipation: "Uncle, do you have a way?!" β
As she said this, Alice's heart was filled with two diametrically opposed emotions, hope and fear, and she stared at Ashmida's lips for fear that some disappointing words would come out of it.
"Old man, take a look." Hearing this, Ashmida frowned slightly, then beckoned to Shanghai, and said with a pleasant face: "Little Shanghai, come here for the old man." β
"........." Shanghai hesitated a little when he saw Ashmida's gentle face, and then saw the hope on his master's face, so he made up his mind and floated towards Ashmida.
"Old man, take a look." Ashmida didn't make any moves, just stretched out his right hand and pressed his index finger against Shanghai's throat, as if sensing something.
After about a minute, maybe ten minutes, Ashmida withdrew her arm after a faint flash of lightning as Alice waited in a panic.
"Uncle, how's it going? Can Shanghai talk? Alice nervously stepped out of her chair, stood up, walked quickly to Ashmida, and asked nervously.
"Well, the general problem is understood." Ashmida nodded lightly, showed a relaxed smile, stretched out his right hand and gently patted Alice's little head, and said with a smile: "It's just that the parts that make up the vocal cords in Shanghai are not tightly put together enough, so the vocal cords are ineffective." β
"So just change your vocal cords?" Alice tilted her little head when she heard this, and asked a little confused.
"Haha, no need, little Shanghai, don't you still speak?" Hearing this, Ashmida laughed and pushed Shanghai in front of Alice, patted Shanghai and Alice's little heads with a smile, and said with a smile.
"Lord, master." In Alice's shocked gaze, Shanghai made a sound, although Shanghai spoke intermittently and stammered, but there is no doubt that Shanghai can speak!!
"Shanghai!!" Alice was ecstatic and took Shanghai into her arms.
"Master." This time, Shanghai's speech was much clearer, and she could speak clearly.
"Thank you, uncle." Alice happily hugged Shanghai and bowed to Ashmida, her face full of gratitude.
"Thank you." Shanghai also bowed to Ashmida with a grateful face, and his small eyes reflected the posture of the man in front of him, and the warm smile of this man had deeply carved traces in Shanghai's heart.
"You little girl, why are you so polite to the old man." Hearing this, Ashmida first gently touched Shanghai's little head, and then gently tapped Alice's head with some unhappiness, and her face was full of displeasure.
"Hee-hee! ~~" Alice held Shanghai with one hand, and gently touched the place where it was knocked with the other, revealing a bright smile.
"Yes, is it possible that after so many years, Xiao Ai you and the old man are so unfamiliar...... Not! β
"I know, uncle is still uncle~~" Ashmida was about to say something when Alice threw herself into his arms and interrupted Ashmida's words. Alice hugged Ashmida's waist with her face pressed against Ashmida's chest, and said with nostalgia.
"You kid." Ashmida was stunned for a moment, then showed a kind smile, and gently touched Alice's hair in her arms, just like when Alice was young.
After a while, Alice got up from Ashmida's arms, her face flushed, and she straightened her clothes under Ashmida's smiling expression.
"Little love has also grown up." Ashmida sighed, Alice has grown a lot compared to when she left, well, in all senses.
"Uncle! ~~~" Alice stomped her foot in shame when she heard this, and shouted angrily at Ashimida. Just listening to this tone, no matter how you listen to it, you feel like it's coquettish!!
"Yes, yes, Uncle knows." Ashmida smiled and raised his hands high to signal that he had surrendered, but the playful smile felt perfunctory no matter how you looked at it.
"M~~ Uncle is really." Alice pouted in dissatisfaction.
"Hehe, Xiao Ai, is there any extra room for the old man?" Ashmida smiled slightly, gently rubbed Alice's little head, and asked softly.
"Yes!" Hearing this, Alice immediately came to her senses, and said happily to Ashmida: "The rooms on the second floor can be used as guest rooms, except for the two rooms in the corridor that are used as storage rooms and studios. β
"Yes, the old man knows." Ashmida nodded, signaling that she understood.
"But, uncle, I remember you didn't live with that aunt?" Alice then remembered what she had been forgetting just now, in the early days of Gensokyo, she moved into Gensokyo, and then learned about Ashmida's whereabouts from Yakumo Murasaki, and also went to the Lost House to see Ashmida in her sleep. According to what she knew about Yakumo, how could Yakumo Purple possibly let Ashmida go to live outside?!!
"Xiao Ai, don't call other people's aunts like this, it's very rude." Hearing this, Ashmida frowned slightly, and said to Alice in a serious tone: "Anyway, Purple is your elder, and you can't be so rude." β
"I'm sorry." Seeing Ashmida's unhappy expression, Alice immediately apologized, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart.
"As for that." Seeing Alice's mistake, Ashmida nodded with relief, and then said the reason with a wry smile: "Because Zi was too shy and angry, she drove the old man out." β
"Eh, ??!!" Alice tilted her little head, confused.
"Well~ To put it simply, Zi said that the fiancΓ© couldn't see each other for a while before the official wedding, so she kicked the old man out." Ashmida shook her head helplessly when she said this, her face full of bitter smiles: "Purple is shy, really, obviously she said it herself." β
"FiancΓ©s? Wedding? Shy? Alice was confused, but the combination of words gave her a bad feeling.
"Well, the old man is going to marry Zi." Finally, Ashmida said softly with a happy smile on her face.
"Eh, eh, !!!!"
