Chapter 47 Sister Sunflower That's where the head should be, ...
Therefore, humans don’t like “monsters”, but the “male protagonist” in her eyes is not the same creature as others see.
Is this the original design of the game, or has the copy distorted the game settings?
Cecilia didn't know, she rubbed the teddy bear's head and expressed her approval of the painting skills.
The teddy bear walked around on the table, shaking his head from time to time, admiring his great painting.
"I'll take this opportunity to draw the other male protagonists as well. Do you happen to know them?"
The little fellow suggested, his little brown face dirty with black lead streaks left and right.
"You'd better take a shower first."
Grabbing its scruff of the neck, Cecilia lifted it up and walked all the way to the sink in the bathroom.
According to her previous experience, the male protagonists she had seen were all strange-looking monsters, and there was really no way to match the monsters' faces with "gorgeous style illustrations".
For the sake of identification, it is better to carry a teddy bear with you. In this instance, it can be regarded as a bear database.
Forcing the teddy bear into the water, Cecilia picked up the soap and rubbed it all over.
The little guy was obedient and didn't struggle, allowing people to rub and knead it into a round shape. Its entire body was covered in soap bubbles, with only two small black eyes showing.
"I said, can you grant me a request?"
The bear doll stared at Cecia with sparkling eyes, and said softly, "If you don't like any of the male protagonists you met, can you try to capture my favorite male protagonist?"
"Don't bother with that. Just do what you like."
"Thank you, Thea! You're so nice!"
Hearing Cecia's answer, the teddy bear pounced on her and rubbed her right hand with its face, getting the foam on its body all over her hands.
"You will never regret making this decision. He is the best in the game!"
The little guy tilted his head back, and there were almost stars in his eyes.
"In the later stages of the game, other male protagonists will become jealous of each other, their favorability will drop, and there may even be a be ending, but he won't!"
"Although the early stages are difficult to complete, once you clear them, he will trust you wholeheartedly and won't have any doubts. It's a pity that his popularity has always been low, and he has almost no presence in the main story..."
The teddy bear chattered a lot, and Cecia pulled its ear and asked directly: "Where is the person you are talking about? I will take you to find him now."
"Really? Is this really possible?!"
Hearing this, the teddy bear almost jumped up in excitement, as if he had been waiting for a long time. Considering that his body was covered with foam, he suppressed his excitement and obediently walked under the water to wash his body.
"You have to think carefully. It's hard to improve his favorability in the early stages, and there's a high chance that you'll fail... Now the game can't be exited, and if I can't clear it, I'm not sure what will happen."
Although the little guy was happy, he quickly thought of the reality and analyzed the pros and cons seriously.
"Besides, according to the plot, you should stay in the dormitory tonight."
"It's just a doll, but you're quite worried."
Cecia flicked the other's nose, turned off the water, and fished the wet little guy out.
"Don't worry about anything else, just leave it to me. So, where is he now?"
"Thea is so nice! Thank you Thea!"
The teddy bear chuckled. Ever since he learned that Cecilia was not a bad person, the little guy became inexplicably familiar with her and started calling her by her nickname.
It was washed clean all over, and it took the initiative to get into the dry towel to wipe off the water on its body, and even shook its body like a puppy.
The little guy stood up on the soft towel and began to brag again: "Although he is not very popular, the official has not arranged a complete plot, and even the guide has not released his movements in the main storyline... Even so, this is not difficult for me!"
"With my unremitting efforts as a microscope, I have accurately grasped his location at every plot point! And at this time tonight, he is near the school's flower bed!"
The teddy bear kept talking for a long time. Cecia was used to its words and automatically extracted the key information. Then she picked it up and put it on her shoulder.
The little guy's hair was not completely dry yet, and Cecilia was afraid that it would catch a cold in the evening breeze, so she took a small towel and wrapped it from head to toe.
Under the cover of night, a man and a bear sneaked out of the dormitory.
Since the door of the dormitory building was locked, Cecia opened the window in the corridor. The evening breeze blew, bringing a slight coolness, and her golden hair swayed with it.
"We...are not going to go down from here?"
Facing the height of more than ten meters, the teddy bear asked in a trembling voice.
"There is no other way. Hold on to me."
Cecilia didn't give it a chance to refuse and jumped down nimbly.
A feeling of weightlessness swept over him, and the teddy bear quickly covered his eyes with his paws, not daring to look down.
After a few seconds, it carefully separated its fingers, and when it saw through the gaps between its fingers that it had landed, it breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xia! What do you do in the real world? That was amazing!"
The teddy bear's tone was full of admiration, and the short little tail behind him began to wag.
"With a captain like you, I can rest easy. Although this is an otome game, there are also plots such as kidnapping and imprisonment, and there is a chance of triggering a death ending. With your skills, I don't think I have to worry about these!"
When leaving the dormitory, Cecia asked the teddy bear to form a team again. This time, the teddy bear agreed without hesitation and was very satisfied with the team. "Keep your voice down so that others don't hear you."
Cecia reminded.
"According to the original game's world view, dolls can't talk, right?"
“Yes… that’s right.”
The teddy bear lowered its voice, lay obediently on her shoulder, and made a hushed gesture to its mouth.
Unlike the bustle during the day, the campus was eerily quiet at night. There was not a single person in sight, even the patrolling security guards were nowhere to be found.
Although there were street lights installed along the way, none of them were turned on and we could only rely on the faint moonlight to see.
"That's not right. This is an aristocratic school. The students are either rich or noble. There should be someone on duty at night. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, the school can't afford to pay for it."
They didn't encounter any ghosts along the way, and the teddy bear began to mutter to himself again.
"That's good. If no one's on duty, we won't be caught, and we can meet him smoothly... Eh? Xia, you're going the wrong way. You should turn right here!"
With the help of the little guy, Cecilia finally found the flower bed in the school.
It’s strange to say, generally flower beds are planted with colorful flowers like roses and peonies, but here they are all planted with sunflowers.
Sunflowers are flowers that love sunshine, but they look particularly wilted in the daytime, with their heads drooping and looking half-dead.
Now at night, they have straightened their branches, their petals have gradually unfolded, and their golden luster is even more dazzling under the moonlight than in the daytime.
"Strange, are those sunflowers planted in the school flower beds?"
the teddy bear wondered, its memory didn't seem to match what it saw.
"Omniscient and almighty God, I offer my life to you to comfort the souls of the departed..."
A cold voice sounded from the other side of the flower bed, as if someone was praying to God.
Hearing this, Cecia slowed down her pace and tiptoed towards the source of the sound.
"Yes, that's the voice! It's him!"
Although it was very excited, it knew it couldn't reveal its position, so it suppressed its excitement and whispered in Cecilia's ear.
Cecia patted its head soothingly, using the vibrant sunflowers in the flower bed as a cover, and observed the people on the other side through the gap.
She was wearing a black nun's uniform and a white cross necklace around her neck.
Although the clothes are strange, the body still retains the characteristics of a human. But when the eyes slowly move upwards, the judgment of "human" is instantly overturned - the place where the head should be is replaced by a huge sunflower.
Sure enough, all the male protagonists she saw were in monster form.
"Finally... I finally met him! I never thought that I could break through the dimensional wall and meet him alive in my lifetime!"
The teddy bear was completely captivated. It was the first time it met its favorite protagonist in the game. It stared at the protagonist as if it wanted to engrave this scene in its heart.
Since the teddy bear's reaction was normal, it means that the man it saw was also a human.
Cecia observed the doll calmly.
The male protagonist seen by the NPC and the player is a human. Could it be that... in this copy, only she sees something different from others?
If it's not her own problem, maybe it has something to do with the role she plays?
It was mentioned in the background of the dungeon that the transfer student had many admirers. However, facing the suitors with outstanding appearance and superior family background, the transfer student always avoided them...
Perhaps, what “she” had been seeing were monsters.
Cecia was still immersed in her own thoughts, while the teddy bear began to talk endlessly about the players she liked.
"His name is Aqien. He is of mixed blood. He studied abroad before he came of age. He was specially arranged to go to the academy in order to inherit the family business so that he could build up connections in advance."
"Perhaps because he studied abroad, he believed in religion and was extremely pious. He would pray in front of the flower bed every day. Not only that, he also cared about various plants and had compassion for flowers, grasses and trees. He would even deliberately avoid them when walking to avoid stepping on them."
"It is said that the school flower beds were specially arranged for him."
Although he tried to control the volume, the teddy bear's voice still attracted the other party's attention due to his high emotions.
"Is anyone there?"
The man called "Archen" stopped praying, stood up, the sunflower head on his neck swaying, and walked towards Cecia's hiding place step by step.
