The nth time I met my puppet

Wan Nan was completely unaware of this. Instead, she smiled and pinched the curious guy's face. He looked so cute when he looked silly.

"How's it going? Do you admit defeat? Can't you even touch the corner of my clothes?"

The curious guy finally came to his senses and even blushed, which was rare. Wan Nan thought that the curious guy was a little embarrassed because he couldn't be touched.

"Well, I can't touch it..."

"That's right, you can't touch me. It doesn't matter. Next, I will teach you swordsmanship."

"So what do you think of my talent?"

The curious one asked this question with some anticipation. He felt very frustrated that he didn't even touch the edge of the clothes. He felt that his performance just now must have been very bad. Wouldn't Wan Nan be very disappointed?

"Ahem, it's okay, not bad."

Wan Nan subconsciously avoided his gaze and felt very guilty when she said this. She had teased him on purpose without teaching him anything and was almost touched by him. This was definitely much better than when she had a certain foundation but still didn't touch him.

But! Now she is a teacher! How can she say that she is worse than him? No, no, absolutely not. So Wan Nan still said this against her conscience.

"Host, you are lying with your eyes open! The target's talent is obviously much stronger than yours, yet you can still lie and say it's okay."

"You're the one who's in charge. What else can I say? Saying his talent is better than mine? How can that be? I'm the teacher now! How can a teacher say no to a student?"

"Then at least encourage them that the target is a good one. That way you can gain more favor! Give them some encouragement and show your support."

007 always felt that Wan Nan was doing the wrong thing, and it would definitely not improve his favorability! What if he got angry?

"Humph, this silly kid. It doesn't matter what I say. Do you believe that he will be very happy if I say this?"

Wan Nan is already quite confident about this.

"Do not believe."

007 didn't believe it at all. Who could be so stupid? How could someone so talented be treated like an average person and treated like a fool?

But the man who was curious was really full of joy as Wan Nan had expected. At least it showed that his talent was not too bad. It seemed that he did not disappoint Wan Nan. Even so, he was already satisfied.

The slap in the face came too quickly, and 007 didn't know whether to be happy or sad. He was happy that Wan Nan's impression value would not decrease no matter how well he did this time, but he was sad that he was slapped in the face.

007 was completely confused! Why was he so happy when he wasn't praised? Shouldn't he be a little sad? Why wasn't he?

007 originally thought that he had gradually begun to understand human emotions, but now he suddenly felt that he was still far from it.

"Humans are too complicated... No, he doesn't seem to be a human. How can a puppet be so complicated?!"

"No, he's a human. He's long ceased to be a puppet after interacting with humans."

Wan Nan looked at the curious person and said these words to 007.

007 sadly felt that he still needed to study a few more books on human psychology.

Wan Nan looked at the curious person's delighted expression and shook his head.

He really is an idiot, he didn't even realize he was being tricked. Wan Nan looked at the dazed look of the curious person and couldn't help laughing.

After Wan Nan teased Qingqizhe, she finally began to teach him sword-fighting seriously, and taught every move very seriously. She also hoped that this Qingqizhe, who was now powerless and like an ordinary person, would have the power to protect himself.

Even Wan Nan didn't realize that this was surprisingly consistent with the purpose of San Bing when he taught her to practice sword.

Because I love you, because I care about you, and I am even more afraid that I cannot protect you well, so I want to give you the power to protect yourself.

Wan Nan taught seriously and really found that the talent of the strange person was extraordinary. Her talent was already good among ordinary people, but it was still far behind that of the strange person.

Wan Nan sighed helplessly. Comparing yourself with others is really frustrating.

For a period of time afterwards, Wan Nan taught Qingqizhe sword skills seriously every day, and Qingqizhe also learned very seriously.

……

"You're a quick learner, so you'll have the power to protect yourself in the future."

Wan Nan was also very pleased to see the progress of the curious person.

"Hmm! Then can we have another competition? I want to see if I've improved."

"Want to compete with me again? Sure, but not here. The restrictions here are too great. To protect the roses that have just bloomed, should we find another place?"

Wan Nan felt very sad when she saw the flowers withering because she had touched them. She had planted the flowers for so long and watched the buds grow and bloom little by little, but they were destroyed by her just as they bloomed. That place is still bare.

The rest of the place was full of flowers, but the flowers that she touched had all fallen off, leaving only a green leaf.

"Okay, let's go then?"

The two of them went out together to find an open space to compete, but they met Niwa on the way. He was discussing something with someone. Wan Nan didn't care and took the hand of the curious person and prepared to leave.

"Mr. Escher...is this method really feasible?"

"Of course, this is the latest technology from Fontaine, and it's guaranteed to be foolproof."

But when she heard Escher's voice, for some reason, she felt a chill on her back and swallowed unconsciously. Only then did she notice the seemingly ordinary and inconspicuous person next to Niwa.

Escher naturally noticed Wan Nan's gaze, turned around and greeted her with a smile, and Wan Nan had no choice but to return a stiff smile.

Her intuition told her that this person was not a good person. To be honest, she didn't know why she had such a feeling. She had never seen this person before, but she just had a bad feeling.

Wan Nan subconsciously felt a sense of rejection and quickly pulled the curious person away. When they reached an open space and confirmed that there was no one around, Wan Nan asked the curious person.

"That...what is that thing? Do you know it?"

After all, Wan Nan had only heard his name once and couldn't remember it at all. She almost blurted out something about being beaten.

"Mr. Escher? I know him, but he just recently came to Tadashi. He said he's a technician from Fontaine, and he wants to cooperate with Tadashi. But Niwa and the others are still considering it, so I don't know anything else."

"Is that so... I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about him. My intuition tells me that he's dangerous. Um, I suggest not cooperating."

Wan Nan expressed her thoughts sincerely.

"Hmm... I don't know. I heard from them that Tadashi Sand needs this cooperation, and the tests so far haven't had any problems, so they've almost decided on it. It might be a little late for us to talk now."

The curious ones don’t know the details either, they just know a little bit and don’t have much impression of Escher.
