The world was crumbling far faster than I could have imagined.
Don't panic, I'm talking about my daily life and common sense …
Can you believe it? Mercury Lamp is leading her sisters to watch Rosa Maidens? Icetis is cheating in a game of Fight the Landlord, and her level of cheating is even fiercer than the shameless Liliana. Uncle Kenser, who seems like an honest elder, learned how to play military chess in less than half a day. Now, he can kill every single one of us. Today, Cirvanas led a team to wipe out all the main cities of the Horde. Tomorrow, they are going to change accounts and Magni will lead a team to wipe out the Alliance …
Putting myself in their shoes, I can't understand what's so fun about leading a group of violent people to destroy your own home in the game. Although it's fun to watch as a bystander.
As expected, the thoughts of heroes are something that ordinary people like me can't understand.
It's already late at night.
Although there are many rooms in this house, it's impossible to squeeze so many people at once. Cirvanas and the rest are just guests at Big Sister's invitation. Now, the group of race leaders have returned to their respective guesthouses in the City of Shadows to rest. The bustling house finally quiets down as the night deepens. I can vaguely hear Anveena's Sin 'dorei's Elegy floating in the air …
I lay on the bed with tears streaming down my face. It wasn't easy for that girl to calm down for a few days. Today, after exchanging musical experiences with Cirvanas, she started singing again …
"Hmm, human. What exactly is that voice? It sounds so scary!"
The voice of the Jade Star Stone came from not far away. Although the usually strong and stubborn puppet girl tried to hide it, the slight tremble in her voice still betrayed her fear. "So, the Jade Star Stone is afraid of ghosts?"
"It's fine, she's just a maid at home." Mercury Lamp nonchalantly arranged her box. "She's a ghost."
"You … You're a ghost!!" Jade Star shrieked instantly, while Hissily and Canary hugged each other. "This mansion is haunted!"
"What a coward. Have you ever seen hundreds of thousands of undead walking in front of your eyes? Idiot, there are undead among the human population. The woman wearing black leather armor today is also an undead. "
"Eh — —" The Jade Star Rock stuttered, but it was still stubborn. "I … I'm not a … a coward! I just … just feel a little … surprised! "
"Huhuhu, let's not talk about this anymore. It's too scary!"
Canary hugged the shivering Fledgling and gazed at her elder sister with tears in her eyes. "Will the specter enter this room?!"
"Of course, she'll come in. She'll wander around the house at night. She'll go through the walls, and she'll even crawl into the boxes … Wow! Stupid humans! Put me down! "
I grabbed Mercury Lamp's collar and waved it in front of the Rose girls. "Because if you keep talking, I won't be able to sleep tonight. Even a nanny would vomit blood if he coaxed five girls at once."
But I really didn't expect that the Rosette Maiden, who was already an outsider in the game, would actually be afraid of ghosts?
"Don't count me in as well." Shingo sat upright on her box as she watched me grab the mercury lamp in midair with a strange expression on her face. Although the mercury lamp was flailing about, it seemed more like she was acting spoiled. "I don't really care about things like ghosts. Besides, that maid is someone who understands noble etiquette very well. Although she's an undead, she's a pretty good maid. As for the other apprentice, she's a bit lacking."
I placed Mercury Lamp back on the box. "Nobles are really a bunch of evil people."
Chestnut is such a hardworking maid, but in your eyes, she still doesn't pass?
The rose maidens, who had been fooling around for an entire day, were still in high spirits. Perhaps it was because they were excited to finally be able to be together with their sisters. It was already past 10 pm, but the group of puppets were still chatting excitedly. Even the 9: 30 pm setting that Big Sis had set for the mercury lamp to become sleepy was forcefully overcome by this duplicitous fellow. Left with no other choice, I could only stay awake. Why do you think they are all gathered in my room?
Cang Xingshi was a girl of few words. When the sisters were chatting, she mostly listened by the side. But now, looking at Mercury Lamp playing with her box, this Rose girl who looked as handsome as a boy couldn't help but speak up. "I've been very concerned since just now. Mercury Lamp, there seems to be something else in your box … What's that?"
"A stereo!" The chairman puffed out her chest proudly. "And an air purifier! That stupid human put it in there … "
Everyone: "…"
"Why are you all looking at me?" I felt uncomfortable being stared at by the Rose girls led by Zhen Hong. "In two days, I'm planning to install an air conditioner in it!"
Jade Star looked at us with her mouth agape. Even her gaze had changed. After a long while, she pointed at Mercury Lamp and shouted at me while gesticulating, "You're spoiling her! You're spoiling her too much! "
You can be jealous and jealous all you want! I'm willing to bet that all of your boxes added together aren't as luxurious as Mercury Lamp's bed. If it wasn't for the fact that I was afraid of making Alaya cry, I was planning to make an angel velvet blanket for Little Water!
But then again, why are all of you gathered in my room, you bastards! There's really a row of boxes lined up in the corner of the wall! You guys are planning to take turns to smash me tomorrow morning, right?
"Hmph, it can't be helped. Of course we sisters have to be together!" Jade Star put her hands on her waist and snorted coldly. She looked just like an unruly princess. "But you, you're such a poor fellow. You've been bragged about so much, but you don't even have a castle!"
Ugh, is this the manifestation of a certain puppet girl's tsundere nature? Does Jade Star like castles and palaces?
Just as I sighed, someone grabbed his pants by my feet. "Hey hey! Uncle, can I tell Fledgling a story? "
Zhen Hong sat on the box elegantly. "Sometimes, it's fun to talk through the night. How about having a tea party under the moon?"
I was about to cry. Why was it so difficult for me to sleep peacefully? Little Bubble was so easy to coax. I hugged her and she went back to her room to sleep. But why were these puppets that had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years so troublesome?
"Hey hey! Fledgling wants to hear a story! I'm too excited today and can't sleep! "
"Mercury Lamp, go and tell her a story!"
I pushed the mercury lamp to the front, then turned around and went to bed, ready to sleep.
"Why!"
"Of course! You're the older sister! Do you need a reason to tell your younger sister a story? "
The chairman was instantly silenced.
Mercury Lamp hesitated as she looked at the expectant Hiddenberry and Mashiro, who had a strange expression on her face. I originally thought that with Mercury Lamp's personality, she would definitely feel awkward for quite a while. Perhaps she would even start scolding Hiddenberry, but to my surprise, Mercury Lamp really did run over to a nearby bookshelf and carried a large book down.
The group of Rose girls immediately formed a circle, their bright eyes looking at the mercury lamp in unison, as if they were listening attentively. The silver-haired Goth girl opened a huge thick book in front of her, and with the help of a small table lamp, she prepared to tell her sisters a story.
Outside the window was a silent night. Only the bright moonlight illuminated the room. The young girls gathered around their older sister and looked forward to tonight's fairy tale. I was suddenly moved by this scene.
So, after thousands of years had passed, they could finally be like today, as close as a family?
"This is an ancient story. It talks about a long, long time ago, there was an old king. He had seven sons, but he didn't know who to pass the throne to … Thus, a struggle for the throne began. Under the power of the Holy Stone Seed, the seven princes summoned their own servants from Sinapse, powerful magical girls … They had to fight over a treasure called the Dragon Balls. It is said that only by gathering all seven Dragon Balls can the legendary Holy Sword appear. Only the one who pulls out the sword from the stone is qualified to become the heir to the throne. However, the guardian of the Holy Sword is the powerful Ultraman. The prince who obtained victory in the Holy Grail War was no match for this guardian. He angrily questioned his father why he was clearly the last heir to the throne, yet he still had to obtain the impossible Holy Sword in order to inherit the throne. The old king looked at his child in disappointment and said, 'Because only in a cruel battle can the royal bloodline awaken. Only then can you transform into a Super Saiyan, and the ruler of the Empire can only be a Super Saiyan. What a pity, my child, it seems like you don't have my blood …' The prince who was proven not to be the heir to the Empire was immediately heartbroken. He ran to the Repent Cliff and swore to the heavens that he would use his own hands to obtain the throne. However, just as the prince raised the sword in his hand, a fireball suddenly fell from the sky. The landing pod of the Empire smashed onto the only servant who was following closely beside the prince … Losing his only servant, Lancer, meant that he could no longer fight for the throne. The prince was immediately disheartened. However, at that moment, the landing pod suddenly opened and an alien schemer, QB, walked out from inside. The strange creature that looked like a cross between a cat and a rabbit led the prince to the bottom of the Repent Cliff to find a white-bearded grandfather. Only the grandfather could bestow him with power. However, because QB had traveled through time for too long, the Repent Cliff had already changed. The old grandfather had invested in a printing factory and relied on selling 《AoTianJue》 to become rich. He had long since lost the novice account's mission guidance …"
I sat up with tears streaming down my face. "Lil 'Shui, is this what you read every day?"
"Oh, Lina just gave it to me. It looks like it's very interesting."
"What's the ending of this story?" I continued to cry.
"… The great Pope His Majesty defeated the prince who had fallen into darkness and became the king of the world. He started a hundred-year war against the Plapmi Galactic United Nations. The rest will be continued …"
… What kind of bloody unfolding was this to usher in such a grand ending?!
"Wow, what an interesting story!" While I was feeling dejected, only Fledgling cheered heartlessly. "No sister has ever told Fledgling a story before! So it's so interesting! "
So you're happy because your sister is telling you a story? You're really a child. But do you really know what this ridiculous fairy tale means?
"Well, that's all for today. Let me think," Mercury Lamp closed the big book and nodded her small head. "When the stupid human told me a story, he told me that I have to learn to think about the meaning of the story … You also have to tell this story so that you can understand something! Otherwise, you're an idiot! "
I was instantly furious. Liliana's nonsense doesn't have any meaning!
But Jade Star really looked like she was thinking hard. Then, she clapped her hands and said, "The prince who won in the end didn't become a powerful Super Saiyan, so the other losers must be weaker than him. So, the seven sons of the king aren't his own!"
Damn, so there's such a dark thing hidden deep in Liliana's story? What kind of sin did that poor king commit in his previous life?
"There's more, there's more!" Canary's interest was piqued. She, who had always boasted that she was the smartest among the Rose Girls, wasn't willing to be surpassed by her noisy younger sister in terms of intelligence. "The Landing Pod crushed the magical maiden named Lancer to death, but the prince was fine. So the prince has already become a Super Saiyan! But the king didn't admit it, which meant that the king wasn't willing to hand over the throne! So, the prince is a real royal bloodline, and the king is fake! "
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Lina, do you really have to be so insightful in your story?
"Ah, in this case, the seven princes are real. The king made them kill each other to eliminate the real heir! That Ultraman is also a monster set up by the king! " Jade Star exclaimed. Then, she stood on the box and waved her little hands. "What a terrifying king's story!"
Sorry, Your Majesty, the dark schemer. I'm really sorry for calling you a poor person.
"If it's possible, please forget about this story immediately!"
I felt that if these two continued to discuss, these pure rose girls would be completely corrupted by Liliana's dark worldview. I finally jumped off the bed and snatched the huge book from Mercury Lamp's hands. "Now, good children need to sleep! Immediately! I still have to wake up early tomorrow to patrol the market! "
"Tsk, arrogant and stupid human."
Mercury Lamp mumbled to herself, but she still obediently crawled into the box. After hesitating for a moment, she said to everyone, "Good night."
With a light click, Mercury Lamp closed the large box that had been transformed into a miniature villa.
The other rose girls also returned to their 'beds' and the boxes were closed. Only Zhen Hong stayed behind. The golden-haired puppet held the lid of the box with one hand and looked at me from a forty-five-degree angle.
"What's wrong?"
"Thank you," Zhen Hong said softly. "Thank you for loving Mercury Lamp so much."
After she said that, the room finally quieted down.
It was already midnight.
"Children are so troublesome." I smiled wryly and lowered my head to glance at the ridiculous fairy tale that Liliana had written. Suddenly, I noticed a line of words on the title page.
"A present for Mercury Lamp. Forever happy — Liliana. Also, Boss, please spare this book. I've already deleted a lot of inappropriate content. "
Jingle above! Liliana, if you knew this would happen, why did you even open the book!
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as I placed the ridiculous fairy tale that Liliana had written back on the table. This table was now almost exclusively occupied by Mercury Lamp. It was filled with the stories that the little puppet usually read. Although writing was still a problem, Mercury Lamp had an unexpected interest in reading stories. This surprised me at first. However, I was already used to occasionally reading stories to Pandora, Visca, or Little Bubble before I went to bed, so I didn't feel any pressure. What loli was a loli, right?
Although strictly speaking, Mercury Lamp couldn't be considered a loli anymore.
I smiled faintly as I looked at the row of boxes that were quietly placed under the window.
This was the first time in thousands of years that the sisters had reunited together. It was just like when they were just born — — no, it was different from back then.
Back then, Mercury Lamp could only be regarded as a discarded product and was placed on a dusty shelf. She watched as her little sisters received their father's love. She was the only puppet girl who had never received her father's attention. She didn't even have the chance to be together with her sisters. Just how long had she waited for this reunion?
Normally, Mercury Lamp would always have an icy expression. Whenever she mentioned her little sisters, her face would always be filled with impatience. She didn't care. But when they were finally together, she clearly worked so hard to change herself. She even did something like "telling stories for her younger sister", which was completely incompatible with her usual image. She couldn't hide her desire to get along well with everyone.
Even Mercury Lamp had a side that was afraid of loneliness?
Emotions were really complicated things. Even if it came from a puppet, I still felt that it was too troublesome when placed in front of me.
Who cares? As long as Mercury Lamp was happy.
This irresponsible thought flashed through my mind as I lay down on my bed and covered my head with the blanket. Now, let me see if a certain brat is about to cry from being frightened by Alaya.
I gradually focused my mind and naturally sank into the depths of my soul. My tightly shut eyes slowly began to light up. As my perception of the physical world around me gradually became abstract descriptions of information, a certain sense of weightlessness enveloped my body.
This was a technique that I had learned from Alaya a long time ago. You could treat it as an inner view of your own soul world. But its greater use was to confirm that a certain silly angel hadn't sleepwalked out when she was in a daze.
This wasn't the first time that such a situation had occurred. Alaya's strange sleepwalking abilities were no joke.
A directionless white space. This was the so-called spiritual world. In Alaya's eyes, this world was an excellent home. But for a creature like me who wasn't an energy lifeform, it wasn't easy to distinguish this world as white. This had nothing to do with the strength of one's power. It was simply a matter of one's cognitive habits.
But now, in this supposedly empty white space, there was another "thing".
A white girl who was curled up into a ball and had her eyes tightly shut.
