Alice: Let's Continue After Breakfast

Moreover, these figures were all made of wood, meaning they were all carved out by Alice herself. The clothes on the dolls were also sewn by Alice herself. From nothing to something, it was all created by Alice alone.

This dedication and patience are incomparable to modern mass-produced goods.

Even though Mo Yi wasn't a professional artist and couldn't see what was good about it or how it was good, he could feel it as soon as he held it in his hand.

Alice's dolls all look similar, but upon closer inspection, they all give Mo Yi a different feeling.

Just like leaves, every leaf looks the same, but in fact, no two leaves have exactly the same pattern.

Putting aside the strange feeling of being stared at by so many dolls, any one of Alice's dolls would be considered quite beautiful by anyone with a normal aesthetic sense.

Unfortunately, Alice has hundreds of dolls here at any time. The feeling of an ordinary person here is that the dolls are 'living humans' who are now staring at them (the 'doll (other)' with curious eyes.

Fortunately Mo Yi has already overcome this childish fear. To overcome fear, you have to face it!

Mo Yi believes that to overcome fear, one must face even greater fear. Once you come to your senses, you will find that what you were afraid of before was nothing but child's play, something that scares children. This is the lesson Mo Yi learned from the Her Highness the Princess's horror game.

Therefore, Mo Yi's answer at this moment was not deliberately flattering Alice. As for the matter of winning her over, it had already been worn away by the previous awkward atmosphere.

"I've made quite a few figurines before, well, clay dolls, but they're nowhere near as good as yours, Miss Alice."

As a DIY enthusiast, Mo Yi not only creates Rune weapons, armor, and accessories, but also Rune figurines. Thanks to the effects of the ' Enlightenment System, the figurines Mo Yi creates are no different from intelligent robots. They are 'brainless' artificial intelligence that can only act according to commands and lacks personal thinking and learning abilities.

Mo Yi had considered using a human wave tactic, but later found that these figurines were too weak in combat and required Mo Yi to give orders. This was fine against weak enemies, but against strong ones, they were just easy prey and a waste of effort. So Mo Yi quickly discovered the legion-style combat method.

Of course, this is also related to Mo Yi's focus on the 'Resolve System' Rune. Rune Magic is quite complex. If Mo Yi had focused on the 'Enlightenment System, he might have already created a' Rune version' of an intelligent robot.

"In my world, Alice, your skills would definitely be welcomed and admired by everyone."

Mo Yi: If I had such skills, I could make custom figures or dolls for otaku boys and girls like the Princess. Not to mention a mere Kiana, I could afford to raise a Bronya, a pair of Vogard girls, or a pair of Seele!

Alice was surprised that Mo Yi would praise her puppetry skills so much, and his gaze was so clear. Especially when she heard that Mo Yi could also make puppets, Alice didn't know what a figurine was. In her mind, it was probably a different kind of puppet.

My feelings are very complicated, and I don't know what to say for a moment. Of course, this complexity is all positive emotions such as 'joy' and 'happiness'.

Alice had so much to say, but in the end, all she could come up with was this polite and stiff remark.

Thank you for your praise!

"I was just stating my thoughts honestly—"

After returning the doll, Mo Yi prepared to go back to his room to play games and evolve 'Swablu' into 'Altaria' as soon as possible. In Gensokyo, a place where aerial combat is popular, Flying-type Pokemon Skill would be of great help to Mo Yi.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room to rest, Miss Alice."

"Hold on--"

Mo Yi, who had just turned around, found himself being pulled back. There was only one other person present, which was naturally because he had been recognized for the first time and entered the 'dreamlike happiness' of Alice.

Mo Yi: "(⊙o⊙)..."

Looking back, Mo Yi was shocked to see that the other person was actually smiling!

Alice's smile is still very beautiful, perfectly matching the image of Princess I imagined in my childhood. She truly deserves the title of one of the most beautiful girls in Gensokyo. She is just as beautiful as the Her Highness the Princess she is not speaking and is Jingjing.

No, the important thing is that Alice can actually laugh?!

This character design is wrong. Alice Megatron, aren't you supposed to be a dark and cold beauty?

"Mr. Mo Yi, would you be interested in visiting my workshop?"

After meeting Mo Yi's bewildered gaze, Alice withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, lowered her head, and said in a slightly faster tone than usual, "Of course, I'm also very interested in your 'figures'."

Mo Yi: "..."

When I gave up on winning over Alice, I never expected things to turn out like this.

Life is truly full of ups and downs, you can't even imagine it!

I'm definitely interested. Even if I can't borrow Alice's Book of the Demon God in the end, I can still learn some new magical knowledge from Alice, or learn puppetry skills. Isn't there a Doll Master in the Moon World who became Crowned Puppeteer with his superb puppetry skills and dared to sell a single puppet for 100 million Eagle Coin?

If I had that kind of skill, let alone raising a few more Valkyrie at home, I could even directly acquire St. Freya Academy and raise a whole legion of Valkyrie without any problem. I would then make my aunt my secretary, have her serve me tea, massage me, and pat my back every day. When she has free time, I would send her to the Hyperion to wash the deck. When I'm in a bad mood, I would grab her, lift her up high, and pat her head. Just thinking about it makes me a little excited!

Mo Yi would definitely agree without hesitation.

"It is my honor, Miss Alice— "

"Alice— "

After hearing Mo Yi's agreement, Alice nodded happily and said, "Mr. Mo Yi, you can just call me Alice."

"Okay, Alice— "

Mo Yi smiled and said:

"Then you can call me Mo Yi too—"

"Friends usually address each other by their first names."

Mo Yi: Based on Alice's performance, my current favorability rating should be at least 70 points, right? That's a big step closer to being able to borrow her Grimoire!

PS: Chapter 113, Bronya's Saga 1.20: "I'm so happy right now—" Bronya, holding the microphone, glanced at her friends who were being blocked by staff not far away, and continued 'very happy (no expression visible)': "I want to especially thank my good friend Mo Yi. If it weren't for him, I definitely wouldn't have won the championship tonight." Mo Yi: "..." Bronya, shouldn't you be thanking CCTV, TVB, or the organization for their support right now? Your level of awareness is not enough! Besides, I just heard Da Wei Ge call you president! Mo Yi felt that something was off. Bronya picked up a box from the top of the prizes beside her, opened it, and inside was a ring with a HOMU design. Then Bronya looked at Mo Yi, and a second later, she knelt down on one knee and said, "At this meaningful moment, I want to do something I've wanted to do for a long time but haven't had the courage to do." Bronya looked at Mo Yi with "sincere" eyes and said calmly, "Captain, Bronya likes you. Would you like to be Bronya's husband?!" Mo Yi: "..." It felt like the roles had been reversed. Bronya, you really are the male protagonist of the Honkai series!

Chapter 225: Alice: Continue after breakfast

Upon hearing Mo Yi mention the word 'friend,' Alice immediately fell into a state of readiness.

Alice: Does the other person mean we're friends?

Alice naturally has friends: Reimu Hakurei, Hakurei Reimu, and Marisa.

However, none of these three people are the type to say things like "we are friends." Even though you can sense something, not hearing it expressed verbally always leaves you feeling like something is missing.

Especially for girls like Alice, who are cold on the outside but warm on the inside and quite sensitive, a direct approach can cause double the damage.

Of course, it wasn't something she could just do on a whim; Alice had to clean the table before she could set off.

Watching Alice control the puppet to clean up all by herself, Mo Yi, who was sitting there, felt a little embarrassed and offered to help.

Alice naturally refused; the other person was a guest, how could she let them do such a thing?

"There's no need to be so calculating between friends. You can't expect me to just stand here and watch you, can you?"

"I'll feel embarrassed—"
