"I say, why did a monster like you come here for no reason?"
The little doll sitting on the counter held a yogurt bottle with both hands and asked Yakumo, who was standing below.
"Well, I'm just curious about what it's like to sell dolls."
Eight-cloud Ink leaned against the wall and looked around at Mercury Lamp's doll shop.
Rose Maiden was the name of Mercury Lamp's doll shop.
The shop was located in School District 7. The most eye-catching thing was the row of seven seats in the middle and the six dolls on them.
The first seat was empty. Starting from the second seat, there were six very delicate and cute dolls. Their labels were Canary, Emerald Star, Bluestone, True Red, Lily, and Snow Crystal.
Below the row of dolls was a label — Not for sale.
Although they were very realistic, Eight-cloud Ink could tell that they were just ordinary dolls.
"You reserved the first seat for yourself, right? Are they your six little sisters? "
"You sure know a lot, monster."
Mercury Lamp turned its head and looked at the row of dolls with a complicated expression.
"Well, since this world has information about Fantasyland, it's not strange that other worlds have information about rose dolls, right?"
Eight-cloud Ink opened a gap and took out a cup of black tea.
"Don't drink black tea in front of me!"
Mercury Lamp frowned and snorted with dissatisfaction.
"Don't be so agitated. I'm not True Red." Eight-cloud Ink shook the porcelain cup in its hand.
"If you don't want to buy it, please leave."
Hearing Eight-cloud Ink mention True Red, Mercury Lamp seemed to be unhappy.
"You're chasing customers away already?" Eight-cloud Ink smiled and lowered its head to taste the black tea. "Just treat it as an ordinary customer. Can't you satisfy my curiosity? How did you come to live here as a doll? Won't ordinary people be surprised to see you? "
"Can't you see for yourself?"
Mercury Lamp pointed at the cashier next to it.
On top of it was a box with a label on the front — "Here's the money."
Then, every doll in the shop had a price tag below it.
"In other words, if an ordinary human came, you would hide?"
Eight-cloud Ink nodded.
"No wonder it became an urban legend."
"It's just some silly rumors from those stupid humans. Why would a monster like you be interested in that?"
"Well, although I've been a monster for a long time, I was reincarnated from a human after all."
Eight-cloud Ink looked at the surprised expression on Mercury Lamp's face and laughed as if his plan had succeeded.
"It's rare to see such an expression on your face. Are you surprised?"
"You used to be a human?!"
"This isn't some shady background. Don't be so surprised." Eight-cloud Ink gently blew on the tea leaves floating on the surface of the tea. "But now, it's a complete monster."
"This world's settings for you didn't mention this."
"They still don't know that I actually have a wife and a daughter. Not only that, they actually dared to add such a ridiculous setting to me."
Eight-cloud Ink's face suddenly became gloomy.
Mercury Lamp laughed sarcastically. "Humans are always so boring. Speaking of which, you didn't come to this world passively, right?"
Eight-cloud Ink suddenly showed an interested expression.
"How can you tell? Do you have a woman's intuition? "
"Swoosh —!!"
A large number of black feathers like flying knives drowned Eight-cloud Ink's body.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. It's not good to be too violent."
Eight-cloud Ink's voice suddenly came from the other side.
Mercury Lamp turned to look. The monster that he hated was leisurely sitting in the gap with his legs crossed and sipping black tea.
That posture reminded her of Zhen Hong.
"Tsk … I'm not happy. Hey, monster over there, you have a way to travel to another world, right?"
"What? You want me to send you back? "
The mercury lamp was silent.
Go back …?
She had to go back! There were some things that she had to do.
"Of course I can travel to another world, but if it's a directional travel, it has to be a world that I've been to before."
Eight-cloud Ink shrugged at Mercury Lamp, indicating that he couldn't help.
"If I've been to your world before, then I can naturally go there again. Unfortunately, I haven't."
Seeing that the black tea in the cup was almost empty, Eight-cloud Ink directly released a trace of monster energy from his palm. After a faint flash of light, the teacup and the remaining tea in it turned into the most basic particles and dissipated between heaven and earth.
"Of course, if one day I'm lucky enough to go to your original world, I won't mind sending you back."
"You said that?"
Mercury Lamp stared at Eight-cloud Ink closely.
"In that case, before that, I'll follow you."
"Huh?"
Eight-cloud Ink was stunned.
"You don't have to do that. You can live in this city peacefully. If I'm lucky enough to go to your original world, I'll naturally come back to pick you up."
"I'm worried. Who knows if you'll go back on your words?"
"Are you doubting the monster's credibility?"
Eight-cloud Ink's brows furrowed slightly.
"No, I'm just doubting your integrity. Or rather, I'm seriously doubting the integrity of all the people living in Fantasy Town."
The little doll lowered her head and drank her yogurt, ignoring Eight-cloud Ink.
"You've gone overboard with your mockery." Eight-cloud Ink couldn't help but laugh. "By the way, with my big sister's personality of peeping, it's very likely that she already knows what you said."
"Peeping at her brother's life. That Yakumo Yukari is indeed worthy of the various titles that those boring humans have given her."
The little doll mocked as usual.
Then —
A gap suddenly opened above her head, and then a plate of fried tofu fell out and directly hit the little doll's head.
On the other side of the gap, Eight-cloud Ink could vaguely hear Azura's whining, "My fried tofu!"
"Bastard!!"
Exasperated, the little doll looked at the gap that had closed with an unfriendly expression, then stared at Eight-cloud Ink.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Countless black feathers flew out of the little doll's back like flying daggers.
Eight-cloud Ink smiled and hid in the gap, then poked her head out from the gap beside the little doll.
"You, go and tidy up."
"Humph!"
The little doll glared at Eight-cloud Ink fiercely, then flapped her wings and flew into the shop.
After the little doll came out, Eight-cloud Ink looked at the moon hanging in the night sky and said, "I'll go first."
"What happened?"
Mercury Lamp noticed that Eight-cloud Ink's gaze was a bit strange.
"Well, there's a magical wave somewhere."
"Magical wave!?"
The Mercury Lamp furrowed its brows.
Having lived here for a long time, the little doll knew that this city rejected magic.
Many ordinary students didn't even believe in the existence of magic.
After all, this was the headquarters of the opposing force of magic — the Science Faction.
"Well, after all, I promised Aleister to help if there's any trouble here, so it's better to go and take a look. Just treat it as paying rent."
"I'll go too."
The Mercury Lamp said.
Eight-cloud Ink looked down at the little doll standing in front of her, amused.
"Okay, let's go."
