Chapter 213: The Appearance of Certain People Never Ends in Good News
"Huh? Why did they all suddenly leave?"
Anne looked around the suddenly quiet room with a puzzled expression, and finally turned to me to ask a question.
I... well, I'm not sure.
Although I don't know exactly what happened, I feel like I should act a little awkward right now.
The only regrettable thing is that even performing a classic fall on flat ground couldn't completely shut someone up.
Almost instantly, the shrewish rabbit, who made everyone want to stuff a cloth in her mouth, spoke again: "Bride's training, my lovely little princess, don't you know what bride's training is?" Seemingly provoking her, she emphasized each word, enunciating clearly, "Bride, training, practice~"
"Hmm? I heard you perfectly well, is there a problem?"
Anne blinked her large, dark red eyes, striking a pose of eagerness to learn.
Alice and I exchanged a glance and fell silent again.
"Hmm? I don't think I said anything wrong, so why are you all silent?"
Surprisingly, she was even a little happy: "However, hmph, I quite like how you address me. Could you say it a few more times?"
Somewhat helplessly, Alice got up from the ground, rubbing her head where she had just slammed it against the floor. She sighed deeply, her tone no longer as cheerful as before: "Oh dear, my little princess, are you really that silly or just pretending? This means you're behind schedule!"
"ah?"
Her dark red eyes widened instantly, glancing rapidly at both Alice and me. The hand gripping my sleeve tightened its hold, forcing me to lower my shoulder towards her.
Unable to bear the oppressive silence any longer, I tried to change the subject: "Um, Alice, when Yao and the others leave tomorrow, will you be leaving with them?"
"Hmm? Why bring this up?"
Alice tilted her head in confusion, moving her limbs as she did so, looking nothing like she had been forcibly affected: "Didn't the Creator say that her departure this time was just because she had something urgent to do, and she only specifically requested to take the youngest child with her, it has absolutely nothing to do with us creations?"
So, everyone should just go back to what they were doing~
"What should we do?"
"Simply put, you can continue living your life as usual, and everyone else can continue doing their work. When there's nothing to do, just eat and sleep, and when there's something to do, get to work."
Anne asked, puzzled, "Isn't that the same as usual?"
Alice spread her hands: "It's pretty much the same~ The only slightly troublesome problem might be that, since the Creator is no longer secretly maintaining the command system, if you don't actively make requests, those clay statues that are only good-looking will all slack off~"
As she spoke, she pushed open the door, kicked her foot, and turned to leave briskly.
Annie stared blankly in the direction the knight had left, then lowered her head thoughtfully for a while. Urged on by me, she quickly left through the main entrance—and picked up Pupu, who had been circling around my feet, along the way.
In her words, it was too hot inside, so she carried him outside to cool off for a while.
It seems that Pupu has officially evolved into a waterbed specifically for cooling down.
Let's get back to the main topic.
It was another busy night. The next morning, after returning from the other side, I took a short break again, which I hadn't done in a long time. I slept until I felt like my spine was about to be dislocated before I slowly got out of bed.
Pulling back the heavy curtains that blocked out the sunlight, the bright light instantly stung my eyes, forcing me to squint to barely make out my surroundings.
The lush green grass swayed gently in the breeze, but no butterflies were in sight. Only a few fairies who had been playing in the air a moment ago quickly hid behind the plants after noticing our gaze, peeking out with only half their heads peeking out curiously.
I waved to them, and only then was I finally able to fully open my eyes and look into the distance.
A forest of white jade trees of varying shapes surrounds the library. Sunflowers with strange, colorful blooms emerge from the ground, shaking their heavy heads and waving their limbs in a frenzied manner. Further away, on a small, gently rising hill, a silvery-white hemisphere lies upside down on the ground, reflecting a dazzling light.
To revise the description, on the surface of the bowl-shaped building that is now upside down on the ground, many small mechanical structures and lens-like components extend out, as if they are performing some kind of periodic self-inspection and maintenance.
It seems that the one that caught my eye earlier was that one.
Shaking my head, I drew the curtains again, and after changing out of my wrinkled shirt from sleeping for so long, I slowly opened the door to the hallway.
Then he froze on the spot.
Did I just see something? Could it be that there was something wrong with how the door was opened today?
Standing behind the newly closed door, I lowered my head and fell into deep thought.
I always felt that it was just a hallucination caused by my brain being foggy from sleeping too much.
With this in mind, I opened the door again—
Having stopped all their work, all the doll maids remained standing in place, turning their heads in unison to face the direction I was in.
This is truly a scene that could scare someone so much their heart could stop.
All I can say is that I am very fortunate that they are still wearing the lace ribbons that cover their eyes, and that the ball joints at their elbows are clearly visible.
Of course, the most important point is that the lighting inside the library was very good, without the flickering light effects often seen in horror stories. This allowed me to quickly regain my composure after being startled for a moment.
