"Little love, little love...try this, eat it quickly and see."
The silver-haired girl's tone sounded cheerful and lively, and she felt full of energy. She reached out and pulled her daughter who was sitting next to her, then waved the tachyon in her hand and started selling it happily, cheerfully and very actively.
"My mother worked very hard to make this... Well, Lan and Sera can't fault it this time, it's absolutely, absolutely, absolutely a success!
"
She spoke very powerful words, with a hint of coquettishness mixed with elation on her face. Shen Qi seemed to be very confident in her work this time. Her eyes were bright and shining, and she was full of expectation. With the affirmation and evaluation from my daughter.
"……oh……"
Prolonged syllables.
Alice nodded as if she was sleepwalking. She took a spoon and took a spoonful of her so-called masterpiece, and then mechanically put it into her mouth.
I don’t know what it is, is it dark cuisine...
Because she felt that her whole body was numb and her brain stopped thinking.
She just sat at the dining table, like a broken robot, turning her rusty neck numbly, looking around with complicated eyes, one, two, three... okay, What comforted her a little was that there didn't seem to be too many class enemies.
Well, not too much.
It can even be said that there are only a handful of them.
It was not as outrageous as she had subconsciously imagined just now. After all, the girl at that time was really shocked. The impact of the picture that popped into her mind for the first time was so shocking that it shocked the entire year——
It's in the splendid and magnificent hall...
The long banquet table stretches from here to there...
Countless women are sitting there with blurred faces...
From the moment the heavy door was slowly pushed open and a sound was made, from the moment he walked into the hall, there was an instant silence, and the whole place was dead silent. They all cast their gazes one after another, with an inexplicable expression. His eyes stared closely at himself...
——In short, although it is just an imaginary picture, it is indeed a particularly breathtaking scene.
Anyway, just thinking about it subconsciously made Alice feel breathless at that time.
As it is now, it's not bad... not bad... good...
Well! No, no! This is not good at all!
The girl who suddenly found that her thinking circuit was going wrong without realizing it, quickly shook her head. She felt that she must have been too much shocked, and she could not process the strange information she received, so her brain became confused. Only when you become dull will you have such an idea.
This is not a difference between good and bad at all, but between bad and worse.
But just because it’s not the worst-case scenario, doesn’t mean it’s not that bad...
"Hey, hey, how, how could-?!"
At this time, there was a stuttering voice that seemed completely unbelievable and unacceptable.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
The silver-haired girl next to her felt as if she was in an earthquake. She looked as if she was greatly shocked. Her eyes that looked at Alice suddenly lost that sparkling feeling, and they immediately darkened. The next second Zhong's mouth came out with a whine similar to that of a small animal dying, and she whimpered unwillingly.
"No? Is it really not possible?"
"Wuwu, it must not be true. I obviously...I obviously did a good job this time..."
Shen Qi was originally prepared to show off his skills, and he was also full of confidence in this.
Because as she said, the result of this effort was very successful, but even the shikigami fox and the all-purpose maid, who specialize in housekeeping, could not find any faults in their proud work. To be fair, even if it doesn't reach the sparkling level of cooking, at least it can't be considered bad.
But even under such circumstances——
But the unfolding did not proceed at all according to the script she imagined.
Not only because of the expected exclamation, but also the expression of admiration, the affirmation and admiration she expected did not appear...
What's more, after Alice took a bite of her favorite creation, she was obviously in a daze at first, and then immediately began to shake her head repeatedly, as if she was denying something with strong emotions, her expression looked determined and steady. And resistance.
So...
This idiot mother, who originally wanted to show off her craftsmanship, was waiting for her daughter's praise and affirmation like a child, and was full of expectation and joy, her expression immediately froze...
This was the most painful blow and the main reason why Shen Qi was directly Orz.
"Uh... no, no, I didn't mean this tastes bad..." At this time, Alice finally reacted and realized what kind of head-on blow she had just given to her mother by being distracted. She suddenly felt a little confused. Things got busy.
None of this is the reason why it tastes bad at all...
In fact, because of her absent-mindedness just now, she didn't notice what she ate at all, so the taste was out of the question.
"Really not, it's actually very delicious, really delicious..."
But this was no solution. The girl could only try to comfort her idiot mother in a hurry, but she couldn't find anything good to say even though she was stammering.
Of course, Shen Qi himself has no experience of being comforted, and neither mother nor daughter are probably familiar with it...
After all, whether it is being a mother or a daughter, it is the first time for both parties, and they have little experience. If they can have a good way of handling emotions and communicating heart to heart, Alice will not be in trouble directly. To the point of running away from home.
——Even if they reconciled recently, it was only a recent matter.
——So, the consolation effect is obviously not great.
Shen Qi probably already had a preconceived notion of disbelief. She was lost and depressed, but she raised her head with a hint of hope:
"Is it really delicious? How exactly is it delicious?"
"Uh, this...this..."
The blond girl suddenly had a headache. She glanced at the table subconsciously. Or maybe making up now is also a good method?
But at this moment, the maid with white hair and red eyes and a face like a doll happened to be next to her. She put down a few plates again, then nodded slightly, turned around and walked into the kitchen, and she had nine furry tails. The fox shikigami continues to be busy.
"..."
"..."
After taking a look at the dazzling variety of dishes on the table, Alice was silent for a moment and asked which dish she had just served.
At this point, Miss Shenqi, who was still holding on to the slightest hope, became completely sad. She lay weakly on the table. She was obviously completely sunk by the real damage of this second blow. Her whole body was in a state of shock in an instant. It turned gray and white, as if the painter had forgotten to color her.
Alice opened her mouth with a headache, and looked at the silver-haired man next to her who was so demoralized by the severe blow that even the bunch of stupid hair on her head seemed to have lost its vitality and vitality, and drooped listlessly. The young girl didn't know what to say for a moment.
"puff……"
Someone at the table couldn't help laughing.
This made Miss Anthropist suddenly think of a certain guy, and couldn't help but look at him in embarrassment.
"Okay, okay, let me be fair...it's still very good. Shenqi's craftsmanship has improved..." Under his daughter's embarrassed gaze, the young man quickly stopped his smile and raised his fist. He coughed lightly and tried to speak seriously.
He looked at the little farce between the mother and daughter opposite him in amusement, but he still couldn't suppress the smile on his lips. Alice is trying to comfort the depressed Shenqi. The two of them look like two sisters - by the way, Alice is more like the sister...
In every sense of the word, this is quite a punishment...
If this was really a world where everything was normal and standard, then it would probably be enough to sentence someone to life.
"It's really not bad, much better than before..."
On the other side of the dining table, the miko in white and scarlet clothes spoke softly and gave a fair evaluation.
"Uh-huh……"
The girl with long straight black hair on the other side also nodded slightly. Although she didn't say much and only uttered a few syllables, she seemed to agree.
"It's not bad..." Only the vixen, who was so beautiful that she could dazzle all sentient beings, curled her lips and seemed to be quite reluctant, giving such a comment in a perfunctory manner. The main reason is that she once tried to defeat the master through cooking, and she was not happy to see competitors on this track.
Even in this new world, there is a reason for this.
"Really? Really? You didn't lie to me, did you?"
Finally receiving fair recognition and affirmation, Miss Shenqi cheered up more or less and recovered a little blood volume.
However, Alice felt quite uncomfortable. Why was she like this? Mother must have also come in, so why do you accept all this so naturally now? Or is it that she is not in her current situation, but is just a shadow of an "ideal" embodied in this world?
Or maybe——
They are more calm and are now playing their "roles" seriously?
Many thoughts flashed through her mind. Alice tried hard to keep the expression on her face unchanged, and looked at the three mikos across the table... three people, only three people.
Even Murasaki Yakumo is not among them.
I don’t know if this is good news, she thought... But what is the reason for this disagreement?
Unconsciously glancing at the person next to her, Alice had some doubts in her heart - or was it really affected by the person's own cognition and subconscious attitude? So only these three people have a definite relationship, and apart from that, it’s just me and my mother?
Well, it seems very possible. After all, this weird world must be shaped according to this guy's knowledge.
——Otherwise, let alone Yakumo Purple.
——It is estimated that the one from Eternal Pavilion will also join in, and the one from Sunflower Field may also have some ideas, and there may even be other women...
Anxiety could not stop rising in her heart. For the first time, Alice found herself facing such a terrible crisis. If she thought about it, there might be quite a few people who wanted to be her mother, just in Gensokyo. There are quite a few people who are interested in Lord Dragon God.
It is said that this was the case before.
no! They must not be allowed to become super seniors!
Miss Qise's humanoid master simply couldn't imagine that she was inexplicably a generation shorter in front of those acquaintances and friends she had known in the past...
