After lunch, a group of people gathered in the living room, looking at the doll on the coffee table.
"Aili, is this doll really as strong as you say?" Theresa asked.
After all, during dinner, Aili had said that this doll was the guardian of the Second Divine Key.
"It's very strong. If this little guy uses its full power, even I, Aili, can't beat it ♬ ~"
"Elysia, you can't even beat it, isn't that a bit exaggerated?" Mei said, somewhat incredulously.
"Elysia, you're not lying, are you? You can't beat such a small guy?" Kiana said, comparing the size of the doll.
The doll gave Kiana a cold glance, then directly closed its eyes.
"Eh? Mei! Look, this doll's expression is so rich!"
Aili hugged the doll back.
"Alright, although these are dolls, they also have emotions. If you make it angry, Kiana will suffer a great loss ♬ ~"
"Huh? Elysia, are you looking down on me! I'm already a formal Valkyrie now! How could I not beat a doll!" Kiana glared fiercely at the doll.
"Aili, we don't quite believe this doll is that powerful. How about letting Kiana compete with it?" Himeko said from the side.
Fu Hua didn't say a word, she seemed to have some impression of a doll of this size.
And, she seemed to faintly hear someone of that size calling her 'Yumu'.
And the doll's appearance, she seemed very familiar with it too.
Fu Hua thought, reaching up to touch her forehead.
"Hua? Is something wrong?" Aili looked at the frowning Fu Hua.
"Nothing, perhaps I'm a bit tired. I'll go upstairs to rest first." With that, Fu Hua walked directly upstairs.
Perhaps she really needed a little rest.
"Even the class monitor gets tired?" Kiana whispered to Mei.
"The class monitor is also human, of course she gets tired." Mei said, gently tapping Kiana's head.
"You can just take the doll to test it. I'll go check on Hua." Aili handed the doll to Theresa, then followed Fu Hua's steps upstairs.
"Do we still need to go test it?" Theresa asked, looking at the doll in her hand.
"Hmm..." After a brief thought, Kiana looked at the doll and said, "Test! We definitely have to test it! I refuse to believe I can't beat this doll!"
Then everyone left the house and headed towards the training ground.
In Fu Hua's room.
This was the first time Aili had entered Fu Hua's room, except for when she helped Fu Hua move in.
Fu Hua's room was very simple, or rather, everything was very neat.
Just like Fu Hua's usual demeanor, rigid.
Aili sat on the edge of Fu Hua's bed.
Fu Hua opened her eyes and looked at Aili.
Aili reached out and touched Fu Hua's forehead, "Hua, are you alright?"
"Nothing, I seem to have remembered something. It's like someone about the same size as the doll was calling me." Fu Hua said, frowning.
"Is that so? Then, would you like to try and find it?" Aili withdrew her hand.
"Find it? With just this faint impression, how can I find it?" Fu Hua showed a bitter smile.
This was an expression the previous Fu Hua would not have shown.
"For example, go to where you lived before, or, would you like to ask Feather Crossing the Dust?" Aili said, looking at Fu Hua.
"The place I lived before, and Feather Crossing the Dust?"
"Yes, for example, the Hua who has always taught me, she has some of your memories, right?" Aili suggested.
Before Fu Hua could speak, a translucent figure stood by the bed.
"I don't have many memories." Hua said, shaking her head.
"Then you should be clear about the impression of the 'little person' Hua mentioned."
"Yes, that person is on Mount Taixu." After Hua finished speaking, she took a deep look at Fu Hua lying on the bed, then disappeared.
As for restoring Fu Hua's memory, Hua felt that it was better to let her rest.
(Note: Hua is not just a memory; it's a simulation by Feather Crossing the Dust using memories, meaning this is Feather Crossing the Dust with Hua's memories.)
"Hua, since we know the destination, shall we go to Mount Taixu together again?"
"Go to Mount Taixu?" Fu Hua whispered, then said firmly, "Okay."
Fu Hua also really wanted to know if the figure in her memory was still there.
After all, she herself didn't know how long she had lived.
"Then you should rest well today. Once you're rested, we'll go to Mount Taixu." Aili said with a smile.
"Okay." Fu Hua said, looking at Aili's face.
"Then, I'll go back to my room first. I'll tell Theresa about this tonight." Aili said after standing up.
Then, under Fu Hua's gaze, she left Fu Hua's room.
Listening to what Fu Hua said, it seems Fu Hua remembered Book of Fuxi.
Which is Master.
Thinking of this, Aili's lips curved slightly.
In the game, the number of armed dolls is not many.
Kevin's doll, it's not in the game.
As for Master, they have had quite a lot of contact with her.
After all, a Master who usually only thinks about eating or sleeping, who wouldn't have a deep impression of her?
As for why Master only appeared in events and not in the main story, Aili didn't think much about it.
The scene shifts to the training ground.
Upon arriving at the training ground, the Kevin doll broke free from Theresa's embrace and jumped to the ground.
Then, after reaching the opposite side of the field, it quietly looked at Kiana.
"It seems ready, Kiana, the rest is up to you." Theresa patted Kiana's back and said.
"Don't worry, Aunt, how could I not even beat a doll?" With that, Kiana directly charged at the doll.
She didn't even bring a weapon.
Clearly, Kiana didn't think this little guy was very powerful.
But soon, Kiana suffered a setback.
Because her direct attack was dodged by the Kevin doll, and then the doll directly kicked her shin.
If Kiana hadn't reacted quickly and used her hands to brace herself on the ground, she would have fallen flat on her face.
After Kiana regained her footing, she charged again, unconvinced. She must have been careless just now!
But the fact was, in close combat, Kiana couldn't even touch the Kevin doll once.
After fighting for a while, Kiana was almost in despair.
"Trainer, your attacks are too direct." The Kevin doll said.
"Eh! You can talk!" Kiana, who was almost in despair just now, immediately looked at the doll in surprise.
The doll shook its head, "I, naturally, can speak."
"Do you wish to continue training?" The Kevin doll said, crossing its arms.
"Train! You wait, I'm going to get my weapons!" Kiana's temper flared up again upon hearing the doll's words.
It turned out that her previous fight had been treated as training by this damn doll!
"Aunt! I'm going to get two guns! I must win against this doll today!" With that, Kiana ran towards the weapon storage area.
Everyone no longer underestimated this doll.
Although the doll's size made Kiana very uncomfortable, a doll that Kiana couldn't hit even once and could counterattack was quite terrifying.
If the technology for such dolls were to become widespread.
Soon, Kiana ran back with her weapons.
"Little guy! Come again!" With that, Kiana directly fired her guns at the doll.
In the doll's hands, two miniature pistols also appeared. After dodging Kiana's bullets, the doll charged at Kiana.
This was the first time the doll had actively attacked.
Looking at the twin guns in the doll's hands, Theresa squinted, seeing more clearly.
"Judgment of Shamash?" Theresa said, surprised.
"Theresa, do you recognize that doll's weapons?" Himeko asked, looking at the twin guns in the doll's hands.
"Yes, those two weapons look exactly like Kiana's father's weapons." Theresa said.
"If it's truly Judgment of Shamash, then Kiana has no chance of winning." Theresa sighed.
"Is Judgment of Shamash very special, Dean Theresa?" Mei asked curiously.
"Yes, Judgment of Shamash is a Divine Key, and among Divine Keys, it's the one with the most destructive power."
"This doll's appearance should be that of a user of Judgment of Shamash."
"And, even if it's a replica of Judgment of Shamash, it might still have that form." Theresa said, staring at the doll.
Inevitably, in the end, Kiana was exhausted and collapsed on the ground, with the Kevin doll standing beside her.
"Room for improvement." After the Kevin doll finished speaking, it walked back to Theresa's side, waiting for Theresa to take it back.
