Lost Narrative Poetry

"Speaking of which, I really feel that the world has changed so much recently. 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, nodding and thanking the silver-haired head maid, and couldn't help but express such emotion.

"Yes, yes, I can't understand humans anymore..."

The instigator opposite the girl nodded and agreed with this. At the same time, he said this without any psychological burden. It seemed that the turmoil in global society during this period was not caused by him at all.

"..."

"..."

"Classmate Xia Ran, let me ask, what exactly do you want to do by doing this?"

Kato Megumi was still calm. She took a sip of tea, thought about it, and asked in a calm tone.

Of course, she is not that stupid. She naturally knows that the social unrest and turmoil around the world during this period are all caused by this strange classmate in front of her, so she wants to ask.

"Oh, the group of people in Gensokyo can't stay idle, so as usual, it's my turn to hold a banquet here again, so I'm embarrassed not to invite you, but Kato-kun, you came happily. "

"Because it's summer vacation now, and there's nothing else to do, so you just called me..." The girl nodded calmly, "But that's not the question I asked, right?"

"..."

"..."

"Actually, I didn't plan to do anything."

Xia Ran blinked and replied innocently.

"I simply feel that if you are poor, you will live alone, and if you are rich, you will have a group of wives and concubines... Ahem, if you are rich, you will benefit the world. No matter what, I have reached the level where you can benefit the world. I should do something to retaliate against society. .”

The girl's expression suddenly changed subtly, and she nodded thoughtfully: "So... is it to take revenge on society?"

"Ahem, no, I meant to repay the society. Kato-kun, you must have heard me wrong." Xia Ran denied this matter unreasonably and forcefully, saying that it was all unfounded slander.

Kato Megumi's eyebrows twitched, and a strange look appeared on his face:

"Hey, but I clearly heard it just now..."

As she said this, she subconsciously looked at the kitchen window not far from the living room. She could directly see the silver-haired and red-eyed doll girl busy inside, with a look of confirmation and inquiry in her eyes.

"Don't worry, Miss Kato. I just heard Master say something that I shouldn't have said." The delicate doll girl looked out of the window and nodded as if she understood something.

"..."

"..."

Xia Ran suddenly froze and remained silent.

After a while, he finally regained his mobility. He let out a long sigh, glanced melancholy in a direction of nothingness, and froze again, motionless.

I feel so tired. Why is my head maid becoming more and more evil?

"Classmate Xia Ran, aren't you going to say something?" Kato Hui looked at him intently for a while before giving a kind reminder.

After all, this strange classmate stopped talking all of a sudden and remained motionless, making people wonder if he was offline.

"Ah, there's nothing to say..." Xia Ran twitched the corner of her mouth and waved her hand lazily, "Anyway, I'm already working on making a new doll. This time I have experience, and I will definitely be better than Charlotte. more……"

"Sorry, Master, I didn't hear what you were talking about."

A sudden cold voice sounded behind Xia Ran, inserting into the conversation between him and Kato-san, with a hint of danger.

Xia Ran's words stopped abruptly. He leaned on the back of the sofa and raised his head. He saw a doll girl with silver hair and red eyes, standing behind him with a kitchen knife. Her pupils were as beautiful as precious red gems. There was a flash of danger.

"..."

"..."

"...It's nothing. I mean Charlotte, you are already the most perfect. Even I can't make a more perfect doll than you again." Xia Ran looked away with a guilty conscience.

"Really? But it feels so sudden and doesn't seem sincere." The head maid narrowed her eyes and said softly.

"How could it be possible? You have a knife and everything you said is right..." Xia Rangan laughed out loud.

"So the point is still because I'm holding a knife?" Charlotte looked at the kitchen knife in her hand thoughtfully, feeling that she had grasped the point.

"Since you know this kind of thing, you should first put down the knife..." The young man held his forehead helplessly, "By the way, there is no such preset in the program I entered for you. Who did you learn this from? One hand?"

Charlotte looked at him calmly, tilted her head slightly, and then looked at the kitchen knife in her hand.

The doll girl seemed to be thinking about this question seriously: "According to my search records, the learning behavior should be triggered that night, when Miss Yukinoshita visited home for the first time..."

"Needless to say, I know..." Xia Ran twitched her lips 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 of handling."

"Huh? What should I do, Master?"

The doll girl with silver hair and red eyes gently tilted her head again, with a rare look of doubt on her cold and delicate face.

"I was just joking. In fact, you don't have to do anything..." The young man clarified helplessly, but after thinking about it carefully and looking at Charlotte, he felt that this answer seemed a bit perfunctory.

Will subconsciously take action because of the strange feeling in his heart...

You will instinctively feel dissatisfied and uneasy because of the words you said...

Doesn't this prove that Charlotte is indeed becoming more and more emotional and has her own unique character and ideas?

Perhaps even she herself doesn’t know about the character and the dark underbelly she has shown during this period. This is proof that she has become flesh and blood, and is alive. She is no longer a puppet who obeys every word and has no self. .

But to truly start to have your own heart and soul——

This was originally something he had always wanted to see. Of course, he could not attack Charlotte at this time or appear to be too perfunctory.

Concentrating his thoughts and expressions, he coughed lightly and guided the head maid to think very seriously: "Actually, you shouldn't ask me this. It mainly depends on what you think, Charlotte..."

"What...do I think...?" the doll girl asked doubtfully.

"That's right, imagine this, if I really don't want you anymore, and I'm going to make a new doll to replace you... Hey, put the knife down, I told you not to use such a radical method... …”

The corners of Xia Ran's eyes twitched, and she watched the silver-haired maid subconsciously look at the kitchen knife in her hand thoughtfully again. She quickly spoke to stop this sudden murderous behavior, and tried to guide the doll back to being like her master. Come on the road of truth, goodness and beauty:

"Anyway, if this was really the case, what would you think and what would you do?"

"..."

"..."

After a moment of silence, probably because of the master's instructions, Miss Doll seemed to be thinking seriously, and for the first time she put herself into the terrible situation of being ruthlessly abandoned by her master.

There was confusion in her clear eyes, as well as a trace of melancholy and panic: "Master, I...I...I don't know what to do. Do you really don't need me..."

"I've said it all, just imagine, it's impossible for me not to want you...and this is 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 and tried to use words to explain to Charlotte what she wanted to express, emphasizing some words.

“What would you do, what would you like to do, or how do you think you should react? "

Charlotte nodded slowly as if she understood, and then asked this question: "So Master, you really don't want me anymore?" The first thing she noticed was this key, and this was the key point she grasped.

"Yes, there's no way I don't want you. Just treat this as just a mock question and answer. Don't take it too seriously. Just answer according to your own ideas." Xia Ran didn't show any impatience at all, she just said this seriously and in detail. said.

"That's it..." The doll girl seemed to feel a lot more at ease all of a sudden, and the expression on her face seemed to indicate a sense of relief.

Of course, her expression has never changed at all, which would make people see any special meaning at this time. Maybe it's just a psychological effect, maybe this is it.

Seeing that Charlotte was about to start thinking again, Xia Ran carefully continued to make insinuations, prompting and guiding:

"Follow your heart, or what I have taught you. How do you think you will react when faced with this kind of thing?"

"It's me, it's me first, I'm obviously here first..." The head maid nodded confusedly, as if she had thought of something, she hesitated and spoke uncertainly. "Whether it is……"

"Okay, okay, okay, okay..." Xia Ran covered her forehead in despair, waving her hands repeatedly to interrupt the puppet girl's words, "I made a mistake, Charlotte, you should follow your own ideas. , let’s just use a kitchen knife, I won’t do anything to encourage others…”

Could it be that I was so unreliable fifteen years ago?

Why is even Bai Xue's knowledge instilled into Charlotte's memory?

"Wait, what are you doing?"

A surprised voice rang out, and Her Royal Highness the Princess in black and long straight clothes, dressed in luxurious twelve singles, walked in from the door, with a trace of inquiry and a trace of curiosity in her eyes. To put it simply, the flames of the fire of gossip were burning.

After all, the scene in front of me is very bizarre! The exquisite doll with silver hair and red eyes is coquettishly saying wonderful lines to its master. It's hard not to think of those aspects. Plus, the kitchen knife in the doll's hand... tsk tsk.

In just a moment, Her Royal Highness suddenly and subtly understood the fun of paparazzi photos, and she even had the urge to teleport back immediately to get her camera.

"That was Bai Xue just now, right? It must be Bai Xue!" Horaishan Kaguya asked enthusiastically.

"No... the banquet is not ready yet. Your Highness, are you here so soon?" Xia Ran's face darkened, she waved her hand and asked the head maid to go back to the kitchen first, and said in a strong tone.

"But I clearly saw that you were about to be beaten..." The princess was dissatisfied.

"It's obviously a kitchen knife, and Bai Xue is not the same as a hatchet..." Xia Ran said with a headache, "Kato-san can help me testify!"

"Indeed, but Xia Ran, you two have such a good relationship..." Kato Megumi calmly took a sip of tea and said with a slight hint of envy on his face as he watched the interaction between the master and servant just now.

Although the relationship is between the puppet and the puppet master, this relationship is really enviable.

"What kind of relationship is good?"

Another surprised voice sounded, and Yukinoshita Yukino, who walked in from the door with Yuigahama Yui and two others, felt a chill in her heart and looked at the scene in the living room suspiciously.

The doll maid with silver hair and red eyes was busy in the kitchen.

Kato Megumi sat calmly on the edge. Only Xia Ran and Horaishan Kaguya were looking at each other... In this way, what Kato Megumi said just now, "The relationship between you is so good", doesn't it mean...

Somehow, Yukinoshita's expression became colder.
