Stray Chapter 205: Charlotte’s emotions and Kato-san’s long-lost backstab
"Speaking of which, I really feel that the world has changed a lot recently, and I feel like I can't understand it at all..."
In Moriya Shrine, Kato Megumi, holding a teacup in both hands, sat upright on the sofa, nodded and thanked the silver-haired maid, and couldn't help expressing such emotion.
"Yes, yes, I'm already a little confused about human beings..."
The initiator opposite the girl nodded, agreeing with this, and said this without any psychological burden. It seems that the ups and downs of the global society during this period of time were not caused by him at all.
“…”
“…”
"Student Xia Ran, let me ask, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Mei Kato is still calm, she took a sip of tea, and after thinking about it, she asked in a calm tone.
Of course she's not that stupid yet. Naturally, she knows that the social turmoil and turmoil around the world during this period of time are all caused by this strange classmate in front of her, so she wants to ask a question.
"Oh, it's the people in Gensokyo who can't be idle, so as usual, it's my turn to hold a banquet here again, so I'm embarrassed not to invite you, but Kato-san, you're very happy to come. That's it."
"Because it's summer vacation now, there's nothing else to do, so you just called..." The girl nodded calmly, "It's just that I'm not asking this question, right?"
“…”
“…”
"Actually I didn't plan to do anything."
Xia Ran blinked and answered innocently.
"I just feel that the poor will be alone, and the rich will have a group of wives and concubines...Ahem, being good can help the world, and I've reached the level where I can help the world. I should do something to get revenge. society.”
The girl's face suddenly changed subtly, she nodded thoughtfully: "So...is it for revenge on society?"
"Cough, no, I mean to give back to the society, Kato-kun, you must have heard it wrong." Xia Ran denied the matter, saying that it was all slander out of nothing.
Kato Megumi's eyebrows trembled, and a strange look appeared on her face:
"Hey, but I just heard it..."
She said this, and at the same time subconsciously looked at the kitchen window not far from the living room, and could directly see the silver-haired and red-eyed puppet girl busy inside, with a confirmation inquiry in her eyes.
"Don't worry, Miss Kato, I just heard the Master say something that shouldn't be said." The delicate doll girl looked out the window and nodded as if she understood something.
“…”
“…”
Xia Ran froze for a moment without making a sound.
After a long while, he finally regained his ability to move. He sighed a long time, and his eyes glancing in a direction that was empty, he stopped again, motionless.
I'm so tired, why is my head maid getting more and more black?
"Xia Ran, aren't you going to say something?" Kato Kei looked at him for a while before reminding him kindly.
After all, this strange classmate suddenly stopped talking and looked motionless, which made people wonder if he had dropped the line.
"Ah, there's nothing else to say..." Xia Ran twitched the corners of his mouth and waved lazily, "Anyway, I'm already working on a new doll, this time I have experience, and I will definitely compare it to a new doll. Charlotte is even more..."
"Sorry, Master, I didn't hear what you were saying."
A sudden cold voice sounded behind Xia Ran, inserting into the conversation between him and Kato classmates, with a hint of danger.
Xia Ran's words stopped abruptly. He leaned on the back of the sofa and tilted his head back. He saw a puppet girl with silver hair and red eyes, standing behind him with a kitchen knife, as beautiful as a precious crimson gem A dangerous light flashed in his pupils.
“…”
“…”
"...Nothing, I mean Charlotte, you are already the most perfect, and even I can't make a more perfect doll than you again." Xia Ran looked away with a guilty conscience.
"Really? But it always feels so sudden, it doesn't look like it's true." The head maid narrowed her eyes and said softly.
"How come, you are right when you have a knife..." Xia Ran laughed dryly.
"So the point is because I'm holding the knife?" Charlotte looked thoughtfully at the kitchen knife in her hand, feeling that she had grasped the point.
"Since you know this kind of thing, put the knife down first..." The boy held his forehead helplessly, "By the way, there is no such preset in the program I entered for you, so who are you with? This hand you learned?"
Charlotte looked at him calmly, tilted her head slightly, and then looked at the kitchen knife in her hand.
The puppet girl seems to be seriously thinking about this question: "According to my search records, the trigger of the learning behavior should be that night, Ms. Yukishita visited the house for the first time..."
"Needless to say, I know..." Xia Ran twitched the corners of her mouth again, and waved her hand to interrupt the head maid's answer, "But this is a wrong demonstration, it's best not to learn this method. "
"Huh? So what should I do, Master?"
The doll girl with silver hair and red eyes slightly tilted her head again, and a look of doubt appeared on her indifferent and delicate little face.
"I was just joking, in fact, I don't need to do anything..." The boy clarified helplessly, but after thinking about it carefully, he looked at Charlotte again, and felt that this answer seemed a bit perfunctory.
I will act subconsciously because of the strange feeling in my heart...
Instinctively feel dissatisfied and uneasy because of what I say...
Isn't this proof that Charlotte is indeed becoming more and more emotional, with her own unique character and ideas?
Perhaps the character she has shown since this time, and the kind of black belly, maybe even she doesn't know it, this is the proof that she has become flesh and blood, and she is no longer an obedient, no-nonsense ego puppet.
But the real beginning of owning your own heart and soul——
This is what he has always wanted to see, and of course he can't hit Charlotte at this time, or appear too perfunctory.
Stopping his thoughts and expression, he coughed lightly, and guided the head maid to think very seriously: "Actually, you shouldn't ask me about this, it mainly depends on what you think, Charlotte..."
"Myself...what do I think...?" The doll girl asked in confusion.
"That's right, imagine it this way, if I really don't want you anymore, I'm going to make a new puppet to replace you... Hey, put down the knife, they said that I can't use this kind of aggressiveness the way..."
Xia Ran's eyes twitched, watching the silver-haired head maid again subconsciously looking at the kitchen knife in her hand, she quickly spoke to stop this murderous behavior, and tried to guide the doll back to her This master is like a true, good and beautiful way to come up:
"Anyway, what would you think and what would you do if it were really such a situation?"
“…”
“…”
Silence for a moment, probably because of the master's instructions, the doll-girl seems to be thinking seriously, and for the first time, she has put herself into this terrible situation of being ruthlessly abandoned by the master.
There was a hint of confusion in her clear eyes, and a trace of melancholy and flustered emotions: "Master, I...I...I don't know what to do, do you really need me..."
"It's all said, just imagine, I can't want you...and it's not a question of whether you know or not, but a question of what you will do and what you want to do."
Xia Ran scratched her cheek in embarrassment, trying to use words to explain to Charlotte what she wanted to express, emphasizing some words.
"What do you "will" do, what do you "want" to do, or how do you "think" you should react? "
Charlotte nodded slowly, seemingly incomprehensible, and then asked such a question: "So Master, you really don't want me anymore?" The first thing she noticed was this key, and the key point she grasped was also this.
"Yes, I can't not want you, you just treat this as a mock question and answer, don't care too much, just answer according to your own ideas." Xia Ran is not impatient at all, just serious and serious Said in detail.
"Is that so..." The doll girl seemed to feel a lot more relieved at once, and the expression on her face seemed to be able to see that kind of relief.
Of course, she hasn't actually changed her expression all the time. It will make people see something special at this time. Maybe it's just a psychological effect. Maybe that's it.
Seeing that Charlotte was about to ponder again, Xia Ran cautiously continued to knock on the side, prompting to guide:
"Follow your heart, or what I have taught you, how do you think you will react when faced with this kind of thing?"
"It was me, I came first, obviously I came first..." The head maid nodded ignorantly, as if thinking of something, she hesitated and said uncertainly. "Whether..."
"It's alright, alright, alright, alright..." Xia Ran covered her forehead in despair, and waved her hand to interrupt the doll girl's words, "I made a mistake, Charlotte, you still follow your own way. Come up with an idea, just a kitchen knife, I won't pull out the seedlings and encourage it..."
Is it true that you were so unreliable fifteen years ago?
Why is even the white knowledge instilled in Charlotte's memory?
"Wait, what are you doing?"
A surprised voice sounded, and Her Royal Highness, the black long straight princess in a luxurious twelve single-clothed clothes, walked in from the door, with a trace of inquiry and curiosity in her eyes. In short, it was the flame of the fire of gossip is burning.
After all, this scene is very bizarre! The delicate doll with silver hair and red eyes is speaking to his master with wonderful lines, it is difficult for people not to think of those aspects, coupled with the kitchen knife in the doll's hand... tsk tsk.
In just a split second, Her Royal Highness suddenly and subtly understood the fun of paparazzi, and she even had the urge to teleport back to get the camera.
"It was Bai Xue just now, it must be Bai Xue!" Penglai Shan Hui Ye asked enthusiastically.
"No... The banquet isn't ready yet. Your Highness, Princess, are you here so soon?" Xia Ran's face darkened, she waved her hand to let the head maid go back to the kitchen first, and said in a firm tone.
"But the concubine clearly saw that you were about to be hacked..." The princess was dissatisfied.
"That's obviously a kitchen knife, and Bai Xue is not equal to a hatchet..." Xia Ran said with a headache, "Kato can help me testify!"
"Indeed, but Xia Ran and the two of you have a really good relationship..." Kato Megumi calmly took a sip of tea, looking at the interaction between the master and servant just now, with a slightly envious expression on her face. .
Although it is a relationship between a puppet and a puppet master, this relationship is really enviable.
"What kind of feelings are good?"
A surprised voice sounded again, and Yukinoshita Yukino, who walked in with Yukihama Yui and the two from outside the door, froze in her heart and looked suspiciously at the scene in the living room.
A doll maid with silver hair and red eyes is busy in the kitchen.
Mei Kato was sitting on the side calmly, only Xia Ran and Kaguya Horaishan were looking at each other... So, the words "The relationship between you two is really good" just said by Kato Megumi, isn't it true? Say...
Somehow, Yukinoshita's face became even colder.
