The nth time I met my puppet

Wan Nan was ready to be ridiculed by San Bing or struck by lightning, but the boy in front of her just shook his head innocently.

"Ah... no... it's okay. Are you okay?"

He seemed like he hadn't spoken for a long time, so he was a little unfamiliar with the way he spoke. It took him a while to find his voice.

"what?!"

No, what's going on? Is this how you should react?

Wan Nan felt more and more overwhelmed. What was going on?

The young man in front of Wan Nan had eyes as clear as white paper, without a trace of anger, and even a look of worry about her on his face, especially after seeing her in a daze, he became even more worried.

"I'm sorry... What's wrong with you? Did I hurt you?"

Wan Nan felt her head buzzing, as if she had been blown apart again. This wasn't the attitude a San Bing should have! Why would he apologize to her?

"Wait! Don't apologize yet, just let me calm down!"

007! Are you sure you're not mistaken this time? Could this be Sanbing's twin brother?!

"No, this is the target of the attack."

Although 007 was a little confused, he still gave a very affirmative answer.

Are you kidding me?!

You're calling this a skirmisher? And that innocent look on his face? Damn, this is getting ridiculous.

Wan Nan looked at the innocent and simple-minded Sanbing and still couldn't believe such an outrageous thing. For a moment, she didn't know how to talk to him.

"Um… hello? What's your name?"

Of course Wan Nan knew his name, but she definitely couldn't tell it, so she chose to pretend not to know.

"My...name? I'm sorry...I don't have a name."

Sanbing, however, had a look of confusion and loss on his face. He had no name and had been abandoned long ago. Even before he was abandoned, he didn't even have a name of his own.

Now it was Wan Nan's turn to be confused. She really didn't understand the current situation. Let's not worry about why San Bing looked so innocent. The problem was that San Bing didn't even know his own name?

Wan Nan wanted to say that she would get one for him, but she swallowed the words back.

After all... she was the one who named her sister, so she knew clearly that she was bad at naming, so she had to avoid the topic.

"Then why are you here? Where is your home?"

"I have no home... I am just a doll. My mother didn't want me, so she abandoned me here."

Clean and pure white paper cannot hide one's emotions. When he mentioned this matter, he could not hide the sadness in his eyes.

"Doll?"

This was the first time Wan Nan heard this word. She had never heard of it before. It made her feel surprised, and she began to re-examine the person in front of her who was as clean as a blank sheet of paper.

Wan Nan initially suspected that San Bing had lost his memory, but it didn't seem to be the case. She felt that he was just a simple child in front of her.

Instead, it makes her look like a big-tailed wolf trying to trick a child by approaching him stealthily?

Wan Nan also had an uncertain guess. Since the timeline of each raid was random, did it mean that the one she met this time was the earliest and simplest soldier?

"Yes... I'm just a puppet..."

The little puppet's voice seemed to carry a hint of loss, as if he was wondering why he wasn't human. Wan Nan had also noticed that his hands... had joints like a puppet's.

But he told Wan Nan, a stranger, this matter without any hesitation, which should have been kept secret.

Wan Nan frowned. This was too different from the soldier she knew. He was too simple and pure, as if he had never experienced the world.

But such sincerity is not a good thing in this turbid world.

For some reason, she couldn't associate the clean-cut boy in front of her with the skirmisher she was familiar with.

People's hearts tend to favor the weak, and so does she. So when faced with such stragglers, she subconsciously felt a trace of sympathy.

“…Don’t tell anyone else about this.”

The little doll was a little confused, but looking at Wan Nan's serious and earnest expression, he nodded blankly. Then Wan Nan helped him hide the doll-like joints.

At this time, a voice came from the other side.

"Who's there?"

As he approached Wan Nan, he felt a little nervous. It might be because he had not had a good start in the previous times, so every time at this time, Wan Nan felt particularly nervous.

"Is that you? I heard you're a new resident of Tadashisha. I haven't asked your name yet. Hello, my name is Guimu. Who is the little brother behind you?"

Wan Nan's brain froze for a moment, but she quickly realized that this was probably the new identity assigned to her by 007.

"My name is Wan Nan, and he is...is...a distant relative who came to seek refuge with me!"

Guimu hadn't doubted his identity at first, until... Wannan stepped aside.

Guimu saw at a glance the golden feather hanging around his neck, which symbolized the Thunder God's token, and his lie was immediately exposed.

"The golden feather that symbolizes the token of Lord Thunder God? What is your relationship with Lord Thunder God?" Gui Mu frowned, the little doll blinked helplessly, and then looked at Wan Nan.

Perhaps because Wan Nan was the first person he met, he developed an inexplicable sense of trust.

Wan Nan blinked innocently. A token? What token? She didn't know. She was even more ignorant of the common sense of this world than anyone else.

Guimu didn't dwell on this, just thinking that they were unwilling to say it.

"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it, but... you must keep this golden feather safe and don't let anyone see it. This is a token left by Lord Thunder God for you, but this token can also bring disaster. Just in case, please keep it safe."

The little doll didn't quite understand what he said, but Wan Nan understood.

This is probably a very valuable item, and the reason why it has to be hidden is probably because it would be a crime to possess a treasure.

"Put it away quickly." Wan Nan also agreed with Guimu's suggestion. The little doll nodded and hid the golden feather.

Then Wan Nan and the little doll followed Guimu back to Tadaosha.

But... the two of them kept following Katsuragi as if they were aimlessly following him, which made Katsuragi feel a little confused.

"Forget about him following me all the time. Isn't your residence over there, Wannan?"

"Huh...? Sorry, I'm a little lost because I just moved here."

Wan Nan was extremely embarrassed. 007 hadn't told her this. Wait, did 007 know this himself? Could it be that he didn't care about these identity settings just to escape?

"Hey, host, I'm sorry. 007 really wasn't paying attention. The situation was urgent at the time, so these are minor issues. Thank you for your hard work, host."

“…Okay, I won’t bother with you this time.”

Wan Nan went back to her residence in the direction indicated by 007. The little doll followed her like a shadow. Wan Nan didn't mind and even took the doll's hand.

Guimu looked puzzled and wanted to call out to him, but in the end he shook his head helplessly.

If he guessed correctly, they had just met today, and he followed her home?

Forget it, the world of young people is really too advanced.
