[The Demon's Roar]
——
The living room, with all the curtains deliberately drawn, was pitch black except for the largest color television, which was playing a terrifying horror movie with eerie and frightening sound effects.
The main characters' tragic deaths one after another on screen were truly unsettling.
but.
Compared to Lorraine, who was watching with great interest.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Guli Xi remained curled up in his arms, too terrified to even look at the horror movie playing on the television behind her. The eerie sound effects, screams, and shrieks alone were enough to frighten her.
Her two little hands were still tightly clutching Lorraine's clothes.
He looked down at the blonde girl trembling with her head buried in his arms.
Lorraine laughed.
"It's not scary at all, a rare horror movie, don't you really want to watch it?"
Upon hearing this, Guli Xi shook his head frantically.
"Haha, if you're so scared, why bother watching this kind of movie?"
Gulixi remained silent, offering no explanation, but continued to clutch his clothes with her small hands, curling up in a ball and hiding in his arms.
Lorraine didn't really care.
He gently patted her back, held her in his arms, and whispered in her ear, "Don't be so scared, it's okay. Even if ghosts really appear, I'll take them all down."
Guli Xi was startled, then slowly raised her head to look at him.
It's like asking, "Is it true?"
Lorraine nodded.
"It's just exorcism. No matter how powerful the evil spirit is, it's still just a mortal body that can't withstand an RPG. Besides... if they really kill me, I'll become an evil spirit too, and then we'll see who's stronger!"
"Ugh."
Kori couldn't help but laugh.
Lorraine laughed along, and even pinched her fair little face, which was soft and quite amusing.
The intimate gesture made Guli Xi blush again, burying her face in his clothes once more, acting like a shy ostrich.
——
The horror movie was over. Lorraine thought it was quite interesting, while Guli Xi barely watched it.
Lorraine had no idea why she would choose to watch a movie that would scare her.
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
However, for some reason...
Despite not watching the movie at all, Kori Sue showed a very satisfied and happy expression after the movie ended.
Lorraine was puzzled, but too lazy to ask further.
As long as the child is happy.
——
The game of pretend play has begun.
Lorraine noticed the very old and worn-out doll in Guri's hand.
He asked curiously.
"Is this doll important to you, Kogoro?"
Gulixi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"It looks terrible."
Kori agreed, after all, it had become dilapidated over time.
Lorraine reached out her hand.
"If you don't mind, I can mend it for you right here, how about that?"
"?"
Kori looked surprised.
"What, you don't believe me? Old Lin used to run a tailor shop, so don't underestimate me. Since it's an important doll, you have to cherish it and take good care of it. Otherwise, you won't feel regret and sadness until you lose it."
Guliqi tilted his head.
"It's true, believe me."
Lorraine made repeated assurances.
Guliqi handed over the doll she had always cherished.
Lorraine also took out a set of professional tools from the ring.
——
A full half hour has passed.
Lorraine's sewing speed was extremely fast and highly professional. Every time she put the needle in and threaded the needle, she did so without the slightest hesitation or delay, as if she had perfectly demonstrated what it meant to be a fast, accurate, and ruthless sewing expert.
Throughout the entire process, Guliqi nestled beside him, her eyes wide with shock, staring incredulously at the other's masterful skills.
That moment.
She could almost see the ancient Greek god of mending!
It only took half an hour.
"All done, call it a day!"
With Lorraine's announcement that work was done, the day came to an end.
The battle-scarred doll is gone forever; in its place is a nearly sparkling, brand-new, perfect doll.
It's very beautiful.
If you don't look closely, it looks almost exactly like a brand new one.
and……
All the repair work was carried out under the direct witness of Kori-suke.
When I held that cherished doll in my arms again.
Kori-ki was so happy he almost cried.
Lorraine smiled leisurely and joked.
"How about it, young man? My skills are pretty good, right? If you're satisfied, remember to give me a five-star review and a triple like!"
Guliqi excitedly grabbed Lorraine's clothes with her little hands.
Until this moment.
In her eyes, what was reflected was already the deity named 'Lorraine'!
She was really, really happy.
——
but.
Just as Lorraine was about to put away her sewing tool set, Guliqi put the doll on the ground, then tugged at Lorraine's clothes, pointed to the spot next to the doll, and finally pointed to Lorraine herself.
"?"
Lorraine looked at her with a puzzled expression, then suddenly realized what she meant and asked with a smile, "What, one isn't enough? You don't want me to make you more dolls, do you?"
