Alice, Who Isn't Good at Expressing Her Love

Thanks to Marisa, the awkward situation between Mo Yi and Alice was resolved.

Alice went to stop Penglai and Shanghai, and after controlling the puppet army in the air to fly back to the Western-style building, she invited Mo Yi in. As for Marisa, that was just a side thing.

Alice, after returning to the mansion, discovered that her clothes were slightly torn because of Marisa. Although nothing was exposed that needed to be censored, as an elegant magician, she naturally couldn't accept showing such an unsightly appearance in front of her new friends.

After being "killed" by Mo Yi's Hug-and-kill and the fact that Mo Yi was also a mage, in Alice's eyes Mo Yi was already a new friend. Well, the kind of friend who was being tested and could either become a formal friend or be removed from the friend list.

After Alice had entertained Mo Yi and Marisa in the living room, she went to take a bath and change into a new set of clothes.

Yeah, it's actually the same set of similar clothes, so Mo Yi and Marisa can't tell the difference.

After Alice left, only the two puppets, 'Penglai' and 'Shanghai', remained on the field to greet Mo Yi and Marisa.

Basically, I just poured coffee for the two of them and then waited on the side.

At this moment, Mo Yi also had time to properly examine the surrounding environment. Just as he had learned before, even in the living room, there were dolls placed everywhere, which could be described as being packed full.

Because Alice is the kind of person who is very organized, the dolls are arranged in a very orderly manner, so they don't look messy.

Of course, this also makes people feel like they are being stared at by countless dolls with their dull eyes. If it were an ordinary person, especially someone with trypophobia, it would probably be very uncomfortable.

"Mo Yi— "

Marisa leaned close to Mo Yi's ear and whispered:

"Don't you find it strange that so many dolls are looking at you?"

"When I first came here, I also felt something was off, so I left after a while."

However, Marisa was unaware that her whispers did not escape Alice's notice.

'Penglai' and 'Shanghai' are Alice's favorite dolls, so naturally they are different from other standard dolls. These are two dolls that Alice has worked hard to bring to life. Therefore, although Penglai and Shanghai have not gained life, their long efforts have given them their own consciousness.

Of course, having self-awareness is not enough. Only when one can survive and grow independently after breaking away from Alice, the creator, can one be considered a truly new life.

Although Alice went to take a bath, her consciousness remained connected to Penglai and Shanghai, waiting nearby so that she could know and serve Mo Yi and Marisa immediately if they needed anything.

Then, Marisa overheard Alice's whisper.

Alice, sitting in the bathtub, clenched her hands and muttered to herself:

"Marisa—— "

"We just don't get along..."

The doll was Alice's most important possession, so she was naturally very unhappy to hear this.

"Uh (⊙o⊙)..."

Faced with Marisa's question, Mo Yi glanced at the dolls around them who seemed to be staring at them, and casually remarked, "Actually, it's alright. Everyone has their own hobbies. I used to really like figurines too, umm, something similar to dolls."

In the past, Mo Yi might have found it a bit eerie, but after undergoing the Her Highness the Princess's hellish training and seeing real hell, the scene here at Alice was really nothing.

When I looked at it from the outside, I thought it was scary, but after coming in and looking around for a while, I realized it was nothing special.

Marisa: "..."

"Then you should be able to get along with Alice, right?"

PS: Chapter 110, Bronya Chapter 1.17: After several dozen seconds, she finally realized something was wrong and looked at the red moon in the sky. True Kiana muttered, "They actually played this little trick on me—" Then, she summoned a massive amount of Honkai Energy in the sky, compressing it into clouds to block out the moonlight. "Muda!" With True Kiana's massive cloud summoning technique, the 'Valkyrie: Eclipse Requiem' under the Yue Xia was broken. Everyone entered the era of overpowered abilities again, and the outcome hinged on those ten seconds. "Heavy-duty Rabbit!!" Seeing the others catching up, Bronya felt immense pressure; she was so close to winning! "This (⊙o⊙)..." Seeing that the others could actually catch up to Heavy-duty Rabbit, who was empowered by 'Riding EX', Mo Yi was also very curious. The prize was just HOMU merchandise; did everyone really have to go to such lengths?!

Chapter 222: Alice, who is not good at expressing herself

After hearing Mo Yi's answer, Alice loosened her fist.

Could it be that I have finally met a peer who understands my interests?

The Magic Forest is the residence of most magicians in Gensokyo, not just Alice and Marisa.

Alice's beloved puppet magic is unique; simply put, no one agrees with it. However, because she is one of the strongest magicians in terms of combat power, no one would be foolish enough to mock or deny it.

After all, magicians are the kind of tech geeks who stay at home all day researching their magic, and they won't go out unless there's a need for a magic experiment or an accident like an earthquake or fire.

Although Alice has always lived alone, she doesn't actually like being alone, which is why she came into contact with Marisa.

If you really dislike or resist her, just close the door and ignore Marisa. With her strength, how could the other party possibly 'borrow' a magic book or other magical items from her?

Expressing dislike verbally does not necessarily mean disgust; true dislike is expressed through indifference and disregard.

Alice felt her life had become a little more lively after Marisa occasionally came to cause trouble at home, although she got very angry when she came too often.

Now, hearing Mo Yi say that he understands her and even shares similar interests in her absence, Alice was overjoyed and couldn't help but smile.

Then, she added Mo Yi to her list of official friends in her mind.

Yes, her list of friends only has four: Marisa, Hakurei Reimu, Yuuka Kazami, and now Mo Yi has been added to it.

Marisa and Mo Yi sat for about ten minutes before Alice, who had changed into a new outfit, also came out.

Hmm, actually she's not the type to entertain people. If it were someone she doesn't know well, she would probably have left them aside by now and continued her research on doll magic.

As for how Marisa is usually entertained, the usual method is to take out the desserts that have been prepared in advance and give them to Marisa to eat, while she sits aside playing with her dolls and listening to Marisa perform a stand-up comedy routine, telling an adventure story that has obviously been artistically embellished.

At that moment, she was thinking of talking to Mo Yi about puppet magic, to see if he was a fellow enthusiast or simply wanted to share his own views on puppet magic.

It's like when people watch a movie that's been raved about, they can't help but feel the urge and desire to spoil it and recommend it to others.

As for Marisa, Alice had talked to her a few times, but unfortunately, she was the type who would fall asleep in a minute and couldn't satisfy Alice's need to confide in someone.

After placing the prepared desserts in front of Marisa and Mo Yi, Alice was at a loss for words.

Firstly, with Marisa, speaking to Mo Yi rashly would be breaking her established persona. Secondly, she and Mo Yi had only just met, and she genuinely didn't know how to start the conversation.

Seeing that Marisa was enjoying her meal, Mo Yi also started eating and found that the desserts she made were really good.

Of course, Mo Yi wasn't a dessert lover; he only had a small taste.

After Marisa had eaten most of her food, she finally remembered why she had come to find Alice.
