Chapter 163: Physically and mentally exhausted communication
The bone dove surrounded by spirit flames circled twice over the deck, and the flames emerged from the cargo from the city-state of Plant, and Alice looked a little sluggishly at what appeared in front of her first, and then looked up at the captain for a while.
Seriously, Duncan almost thought for a moment that the puppet was about to run away crying—the most likely of Alice's many reactions he had expected, and he stared at the puppet for a long time before the latter finally nodded, "Thank you!"
Duncan: "......?"
"You really bought me new hair!" In the next second, Alice's face was smiling, as if she had received the most heartwarming gift, "I thought you were just talking about playing last time!" Mr. Goathead said that a wig for a doll is a very expensive thing......
Duncan: "......"
What he had been waiting for for a long time did not happen, and the persecution had suffered a great failure from the very beginning—the persecuted man was happy and even grateful.
Duncan felt like he was feeling like a funman who had lost his fun.
"Captain? Captain, why are you in a daze again?" Alice's voice suddenly came, waking Duncan from his distraction, the doll was holding the wig on tiptoe, and his face was almost close to the tip of Duncan's nose, "You've been in a daze many times today......
Duncan blinked, his face pulled back a little, and he looked at the cursed doll with a strange expression: "I didn't expect you to have such a wide heart - weren't you quite upset about the wig last time I told you, I thought you would have to fight in your heart when you received the gift this time......
"I'm frustrated with hair loss, why should I be frustrated with new hair?" Alice blinked, as if she felt something was wrong with Duncan's three views, and explained, "I'm a puppet!"
Duncan finally knew what the problem was.
Alice, who is usually too lively on the ship, looks like an ordinary human except for the surprise of the cervical spine bones, and he has been with this guy for a long time, and he unconsciously treats her as a human being, and as a result, he ignores the particularity of the three views of this puppet.
As a doll, where would she care about wearing a wig! Do humans care about getting a new pair of shoes?
"Forget it, let's think too much," Duncan covered his face and waved his hand, as the biggest natural disaster on the Infinite Sea, he once again felt the feeling of being unable to hold back in front of Alice, "Anyway...... You can do it if you like."
"I like it!" Alice happily held her wig, then craned her neck over Duncan's shoulder and continued to look at the things on deck, "The rest of ......
"This one is for you too," Duncan sighed, trying to ignore the visual impact of an elegant and beautiful goth doll holding a wig in high spirits, turning to pick up a box from the deck, "Open it and take a look."
Curious, Alice opened the delicate wooden box and saw a set of silver hair ornaments made of diamond-shaped flakes lying quietly in a velvet lining.
She looked up in astonishment to see the captain nodding slightly to herself.
"Last time I took the feather hairpin you found in the cabin," Duncan said lightly, "I promised you to buy you a new one, and now I make good on my promise."
Alice was stunned for a long time, and finally reacted, smiling with unprecedented happiness: "Thank you, Captain! Captain, you're so nice!"
"Don't be so loud," Duncan couldn't help but wave his hand as his ears buzzed from the puppet's sudden octave loud voice, "It's just a hair accessory, there's no need to be so excited."
"Not only hair accessories, but also the new hair you bought me!"
Duncan was suddenly a little embarrassed, and a strong sense of shame haunted by the solemn thank-you of the person who wanted to live the whole life: "...... Don't even mention that wig......
Alice had no idea of the captain's subtle mood at the moment, and the puppet with few eyes was now immersed in joy, and then she naturally noticed the last wooden box on the deck.
It was a wooden box more than half a meter long - or wooden box, with elegant and simple decoration and brass locks and hinges, which looked like a sense of luxury.
And for some reason, it reminded her of her own "house".
"What is this?" Alice put aside the wig and hair ornament in her hand, pushed the wooden box curiously, and looked up to ask.
"I bought it from the doll shop, too, but this isn't for you," Duncan said casually, "You can open it and have a look."
Alice let out a sigh and opened the wooden box curiously.
A delicately made, classical girl doll lies quietly in a wooden box. Alice: "......?"
"You can call her 'Nilou,'" Duncan's voice came from the side, "but unlike you, she's just a regular doll...... Probably."
Alice didn't react for a long time, and after nearly ten seconds, she suddenly moved—click-click, and her head fell into Nilou's box, rolling with the small doll inside......
"Help...... Help ......@精华_书阁... j_h_s_s_d_c_o_m head. Hair. More. New~~Help ......"
Duncan sighed, picked up Alice's head and put it up, and looked at the embarrassed guy helplessly, "Do you have this reaction?"
Alice, however, just straightened her neck with her head in both hands, and then looked at her captain with wide eyes, with an expression of disbelief on her face: "Captain, you ...... You've got a new puppet......
"What a mess!" Duncan felt as if something was wrong when he heard this, and quickly interrupted Alice before he could come up with more trash talk, "Didn't I say it, Nilou is different from you, she doesn't run and jump like you, and what does it mean to have a new puppet? It's as if I have some kind of weird collector's habit."
"Wouldn't it be ...... if you bought a doll and came back?"
"There's a special reason for this," Duncan exhaled softly, got up and looked out at the distant sea, trying to suppress Alice's trash talk with a serious and deep expression on his face, "This doll named Nilou and another doll named Luni were originally a pair, and many years ago, my daughter took Luni with her, and now I coincidentally found Nilou left in the shop and dusty, I think...... She should be bought."
Duncan did not hide the information he had just learned, and said it in a natural way—no matter what, he must now play the role of "Captain Duncan", and from this persona, he must "take his own children for granted".
Ellie's eyes widened unsurprisingly, staring at her captain in disbelief.
"Ship...... Captain, you have a daughter?!" The doll held its head with both hands, as if it was afraid that its head would run away from home in shock in the next second, "I...... It's the first time I've heard of it!"
Duncan sighed inwardly, saying that this was the first time he had heard of it......
But he still had the same expression on his face, just nodded slightly, "Isn't that weird? I also have a son, and I haven't seen them in a century."
"You have a son!?" Alice was even more stunned, she even took two steps back, and then her eyes turned twice, and she didn't know how to run in her head, and suddenly burst out with a sentence, "Then don't they still have a mother?"
Duncan: "......"
At this moment, he and Alice were left with only wide eyes.
"I kind of regret opening this topic with you," Duncan finally sighed after a long time, and said with a look of vicissitudes, "I don't want to talk about this."
"Oh...... Oooh! Okay!" Alice didn't know what she had made up in her head, so she nodded again and again, and then she looked down at Nilou in the wooden box, and suddenly understood, "Ah, that feather-shaped hairpin I found in the cabin last time...... · Is it your daughter's?"
Duncan was noncommittal.
He wasn't sure about it, but considering the nostalgia that involuntarily surfaced in his heart when he saw the hairpin, it was probably not much different from Alice's conjecture.
Then he noticed that Alice had been secretly looking at him, and noticed the strange expression on the puppet's face from time to time.
"Say whatever you want," he said lightly, "and it's more rude to look at him so secretly than to be open-mouthed."
"Ah, nothing, nothing, I'm just ......" Alice waved her hand and then said hesitantly, "I just suddenly felt ...... You still seem to have a human nature."
Duncan: "...... Are you complimenting me?"
Alice was stunned for a moment, and then as if she remembered what Mr. Goathead had taught her, an apologetic expression appeared on her face: "Ah, I'm sorry Captain, I shouldn't have scolded you for being human......
"I...... I thank you," Duncan sighed, waved his hand, and looked exhausted, "Take your gift and go back, I want to be myself."
"Oh."
