Alice: Will You Come See My Room Later?

Mo Yi finally succumbed to his inner desires and nodded, saying:

"Miss Alice, if it's alright, I'd like to stay here."

I, Mo Yi, have a dream: to win over Alice with my words, turn her into my friend, and then borrow her Grimoire.

"Um--"

For a fleeting moment, Mo Yi thought he saw Alice smile, but after blinking, he realized it was just his imagination; she had maintained that expression the whole time.

If the dolls weren't moving, in a room full of them, it would be easy to mistake Alice for one of them—the biggest, most exquisite, and most beautiful doll.

"Then I'm relieved—"

After dealing with Mo Yi, Marisa, carrying Alice's dessert, prepared to go to the Hakurei Shrine to chat and play with her best friend, Hakurei Reimu. She hopped on her broomstick and flew off.

See you the day after tomorrow, Da☆Ze!

After Marisa left, the atmosphere became even more silent.

Although Mo Yi said he wanted to be friends with her, he still didn't know how to strike up a conversation with Alice, a 'girl' who exuded an aura of unapproachability.

I always feel that the other person's art style Taichi from my own 'silly', no, 'happy' art style. I miss Kiana, Yue Xia, Miss Mei, and Her Highness the Princess on the first day.

Shortly after Marisa left, Alice controlled 'Hōrai' to take Mo Yi to his room where he would rest that night, as well as places like the bathhouse.

Unable to figure out how to proceed, Mo Yi ended up staying in the room playing his Pokémon, leveling up his recently developed new Pokemon, 'Swablu'.

Yes, this situation is actually quite normal.

Most students, when they have a long holiday, think about finishing their homework in the first two days after they get back so they can play as much as they want.

But often, they just put it off day by day, and the homework is always left until the last day, or they even go back to school to copy their deskmate's work.

This situation is similar to Mo Yi's current thought of 'conquering Alice,' followed by playing a game to relax.

"Knock knock—"

About two hours later, there was a knock on the door. When I opened it, it was 'Penglai'. The puppet in mid-air was holding a writing board that read 'Dinner time'.

"I'm coming right now—"

Mo Yi followed 'Penglai' out.

When he walked into the living room, Alice was controlling seven or eight puppets carrying dinner and tableware.

Seeing Alice's incredible skill, Mo Yi could only say, "I can't learn that." Controlling so many puppets to do different things at the same time is beyond what can be explained by multitasking or tripletasking.

Alice was equally anxious when she saw Mo Yi come out.

While Mo Yi was thinking about how to strike up a conversation with the other person, build rapport, and borrow books, Alice was also thinking about how to strike up a conversation with Mo Yi, listen to his views on puppet magic, and see if he could understand her and find a kindred spirit.

"Please enjoy your meal, Mr. Mo Yi— "

Gensokyo is an ancient society, so naturally there is no electrification, at least not in the Alice's Mansion.

For monsters, the night is their time of day.

By this time, it was almost dark, so Alice lit a few candles next to the dining table.

Then, Mo Yi had his first candlelight dinner ever.

In fact, Alice rarely eats in the living room when she has guests. Instead, she eats in her workshop because she often works tirelessly making dolls, so her workshop is filled with a large number of magical lighting items.

"Thanks--"

Then the two of them didn't say anything and started eating.

Alice's food, matching her appearance, was typical Western cuisine, and tasted quite good.

Mo Yi felt that the meal was strange and very depressing.

During the meal, Alice would occasionally glance at Mo Yi with her indifferent gaze, making Mo Yi's heart pound and his mind wander.

Alice: What should I say to start this conversation? If I don't say anything, will the other person think I'm hard to get along with?

After finishing the dessert, Mo Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mo Yi: It seems I'm still not good at making friends. I really can't learn Marisa's talent for "making friends through sex." Maybe I should just give up? Being a "normie"? I'll never be one in this lifetime!

Mo Yi, who was about to go back to his room to play games, suddenly remembered something. He had already studied the doll he found earlier, but he still had to return it to the original owner.

Alice might have discovered this a long time ago.

"Miss Alice— "

Mo Yi took out several somewhat damaged dolls from his inventory and placed them in front of Alice, saying apologetically, "These are the ones I found before, and I only just remembered to return them to you."

Just as Mo Yi had expected, Alice had already discovered that several of her dolls seemed to be missing. She thought they had been blown away by Marisa to some hard-to-find place and planned to find them later. However, she didn't expect that Mo Yi had picked them up.

Alice glanced at the cleaned doll, then turned to look at Mo Yi. Her clear blue eyes reflected his handsome appearance.

"Thanks--"

Alice moved her fingers, and the dolls on the table 'came to life' and all flew up.

"Need not--"

Alice called out to Mo Yi, who was about to turn around and go back to his room to play games. Under the table, she gripped the hem of her clothes tightly and stared at Mo Yi, asking, "Mr. Mo Yi, what do you think of my doll?"

When others enter their mansion, they usually show fear or at least appear very uncomfortable. Alice observed Mo Yi's expression several times and found that he did not show the same fear and disgust as the others.

He may truly be different from others.

PS: Chapter 112, Bronya Arc 1.19: "Charge!" With Seele's help, the speed that Heavy-duty Rabbit unleashed was beyond everyone's expectations, winning the match before anyone could react. Mo Yi breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to go home and rest. "We won—" Bronya grabbed Mo Yi's hand and said calmly, "Let's go receive the award." Mo Yi: "..." There's such a formal part as receiving an award. A young lady host excitedly announced, "The champion has finally been born! Now, please welcome our Mihoyo representative, Da Wei Ge Dawei, to present the award to the winner!" Mo Yi: "..." Is this just a coincidence of names? Then Mo Yi saw a man wearing a mask with a large "Wei" character written on it walk over and hand a bunch of HOMU to Mo Yi and Bronya. "Congratulations, President—" Bronya stared sharply at Da Wei Ge, Da Wei Ge immediately realized he had misspoke and coughed profusely, his face covered in sweat. "Congratulations, Mr. Mo Yi and Ms. Bronya. Now, please welcome the champion to speak—" After saying this, he handed the microphone to Bronya and then slipped away to wipe his sweat.

Chapter 224: Alice: Will you come and visit my room later?

"Exquisite, beautiful, and ingeniously crafted; it's simply a work of art—"

To be fair, Alice's dolls are indeed very exquisite and beautiful. Mo Yi, who had picked up several of them and studied them, was very impressed. Moreover, many of their structures were quite novel and were things that Mo Yi had never seen before. Under Alice's control, the dolls could make all sorts of flexible poses and movements.
