Want to be human, but cube-like

"I just wanted to see what was on there..."

Noticing that Xiangzi seemed to be getting a little angry, Alex shrank her neck and jumped down.

"No, how did you even get up there...?"

Rubbing his temples, Xiangzi was at a loss for words.

"That's how you put it on."

Alex patted a wooden pillar beside her and said casually.

"Take it down quickly, don't let anyone else see it!"

Xiangzi thought it was a decorative pillar that was already in the supermarket, and she paused for a moment before quickly saying that.

"Oh……"

After cutting the planks off with the axe and snapping them a few times, Xiangzi put the axe away. Before he could catch his breath, Alex accidentally hit the axe too many times, knocking down the shelf that was originally behind the planks.

The shelf in the middle that was hit suddenly shrank out of thin air and was sucked into Alex's backpack.

Then Xiangzi saw that the upper shelf was floating brightly in mid-air, and the goods that were originally placed on the shelf that Alex had sucked away all fell to the ground with a clatter.

Before Xiangzi could even get a good look at the goods, Alex sucked another half of them into his body.

"Quickly restore it to its original state...!"

Xiangzi's face turned deathly pale. She turned around abruptly and looked around. After finding no one else there, she grabbed Alex's hem, pointed at the suspended shelf, and called out in a low, trembling voice.

"Ah... my backpack is full..."

Alex, whose backpack was instantly filled with the goods on the ground, had no choice but to follow Xiangzi's instructions and quickly pick up the things on the ground while putting the shelves and goods back on.

Feeling more exhausted in those few tens of minutes than he had been working a whole day, Xiangzi finally took Alex's little hand weakly and led her out of the supermarket and back to the open space in the mall.

"Alex, you stay here and don't go anywhere. Wait for me for ten minutes, I'll be right back, understand?"

Walking into a less crowded area, Xiangzi turned around and spoke to Alex with a serious expression and tone.

It was too difficult to control Alex and prevent her from acting recklessly, so Xiangzi canceled her previous plans. She decided to have Alex wait there for a while, and then buy what she needed as quickly as possible before taking her back.

As for shopping, let's wait until Alex has learned the common sense of modern society.

She felt that when she got back tonight, she had to have a good talk with Alex about what she could and couldn't do in public, in front of strangers.

……

"Well……"

Completely baffled as to why Xiangzi was angry, Alex lowered her head, pouted, and looked aggrieved.

Her snow-white hair fell down from her shoulders, and her pure, light red eyes reflected a crystalline luster as if they were filled with tears. Her delicate and gentle face was slightly puffed up, as if she was somewhat dissatisfied, but she kept it to herself and did not vent it.

Like a fluffy little lop-eared rabbit.

Aine, who was so charmed by Alex's appearance that she wanted to hug her and rub her hard, looked at the other's figure, which was half a head taller than her.

Yes, it's a fluffy, large lop-eared rabbit.

Then, Aine, finally free from Alex's beauty, hesitated for a moment before observing her emotions.

But did you have a fight with a friend? Or is there some other reason that's making you feel down?

Aion, feeling somewhat troubled and unsure of what to say, hesitated before opening her mouth.

"So, have you been waiting here alone for a long time?"

She thought for a moment before trying to ask.

"No, it'll only be a little while. Xiangzi said she'll be back soon."

Shaking her head, Alex answered softly.

In just two sentences, she had enough time to quickly recover from her slightly downcast mood. After Alex finished speaking, she tilted her head and carefully observed the girl in front of her who had suddenly come over to talk to her.

Her long, flowing pink hair cascaded down to her waist, and her slender waist appeared even more graceful under the long dress. She always seemed to have a sweet smile on her lips, and her light gray eyes did not give off a cold feeling, but rather balanced the vibrancy of the pink hair beside her forehead, making her even more girlish.

She is a very beautiful girl.

Moreover, for some reason, Alex always felt a sense of familiarity with her.

Was it because of the voice that sounded somewhat like his mother's?

This strange sense of familiarity was something Alex noticed when she first heard Aine speak, but upon closer listening, she realized that it was quite different from her mother's voice.

Although her mother's voice was just as sweet, the two had very different intonations, and her mother's voice was a little husky, not as clear and melodious as hers.

Nevertheless, because of that inexplicable sense of familiarity, Alex responded to her conversation.

Aine wasn't the first person to approach Alex. After all, it was impossible for such a beautiful girl, standing there looking a little lost, not to attract attention.

However, everyone who tried to talk to her before left, having wasted their time, because of the ignoring tactics that Xiangzi taught Alex to use.

…………

PS: The reason I dedicated a whole chapter to Xiangzi's search was to make it clear that Minecraft doesn't exist in this world. Even with such a straightforward explanation, some people still say it's too deliberate, arguing that such a famous game couldn't possibly be unsearchable.

Then some people were still debating whether Aine was an isekai (another world) counterpart. I clearly replied in that thread that she wasn't. To prevent people from overthinking, I moved Aine's appearance to the last two chapters, even though she wasn't originally scheduled to appear so soon in the outline.

Even so, some people still questioned, "Don't you have any patience at all? Aren't you being too impatient?"

Honestly, I can't even come up with a reason why parallel universe isomorphism is such a terrible concept, and I don't know why you guys...

For people to make this connection, I'm speechless. Also, stop obsessing over why Aine can play Minecraft. It's like asking why the protagonist in other books has a system—it's really not important at all.

[This world doesn't have the game Minecraft] [Aine accidentally played this game, but don't worry about why she did.]

Do I really have to write this out so bluntly? Waaaaah, I can't take it anymore, you copper wire, you meow!

Volume 1: Chapter 38 The White Fluffy Ball

"That's it..."

So, her friend's name is Xiangzi, right?

She muttered something to herself, and Ai Yin was about to say something.

"found it."

Beside her, another unfamiliar little girl's voice suddenly broke the silence, interrupting her.

"Eh?"

Ai Yin was startled and turned her head to look. A girl with short white hair and heterochromatic blue and yellow eyes came into view.

"You... are you Xiangzi, Alex's friend?"

Upon seeing the little girl who suddenly approached her, Aine instinctively connected her with the friend Alex had mentioned.

"Ok?"

Hearing her words, the white-haired girl who had been staring at Alex turned her head and looked at her.

"To Lenai."

She spoke.

"what?"

Ai-yin clearly didn't understand what this seemingly random sentence meant.

"My name."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl who called herself Yao Lenai turned her gaze back to Alex's face.

"Huh?...Oh, so your name is Kaname Ronai? Um, little Ronai, is there something you need?"

A bead of cold sweat had already formed on Ai Yin's forehead. She forced a smile, bent slightly, and asked the other person softly with a smile.

"That was really impressive."

Lena didn't seem to reply to her, but just stared at Alex.

"I want to see more."

She said, her eyes, with their different colored pupils, seemed to hold some kind of expectation.

"Just now...?"

Alex was also taken aback for a moment, somewhat puzzled.

But she immediately realized that it must be this little girl who had just witnessed what she and Xiangzi had done.

I remembered what Xiangzi had said before he left: he couldn't let others discover his special features, otherwise, he would be in big trouble, be treated as a monster, be disliked and ostracized, or even be arrested.

But now it seems someone has discovered it.

The best way to prevent more people from finding out is, of course, to eliminate all those who know.

In the past, when she accidentally provoked a zombie piglin in the Nether, it was the same. As long as she was under her mother's control and killed all the zombie piglins within the aggro range quickly enough, she would not attract any more danger.

but……

A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

There are so many people here, it's impossible to kill them all at once.

Furthermore, Xiangzi also said that one should not attack others indiscriminately. In this world, apart from dealing with familiars and witches, it seems that all other acts of attack are absolutely forbidden.

This is so troublesome...

"No."

So Alex had no choice but to bend down like Aine, look down at Ronna who was much shorter than her, and say softly.

"why?"

Tilting her head, Lena asked in confusion.

"No means no. It's something you can't let others see, so you have to forget about it."

Tilt her head to the same angle as Lena and Alex repeated the same point.

"But I want to learn."

Blinking, Lena asked in confusion.

What a troublesome guy!

Alex was already considering whether she should find an opportunity to take the little girl to a secluded place and get rid of her.

"Haha... Did Xiao Le Nai come out to play by herself?"

Noticing that Alex seemed a little unhappy, Aine quickly interrupted their conversation.

Although she didn't know what the two were talking about, Aine's intuition told her that if the conversation continued like this, something terrible might happen.

Two white fluffy balls, one big and one small, turned their gazes toward the sound.

Two equally innocent and adorable little faces looked at Ai Yin at the same time, one gentle and the other indifferent, making her speechless for a moment.

Aine suddenly regretted why she had to be so nosy and come up to talk to him.

Oh, it's because I was attracted by Alex's beauty... Wine and women lead to trouble!

"I came to visit a friend."

Fortunately, the little white fluffy ball answered her question quickly.

"But my friend is sleeping."

She shook her head and added.

"That's why Xiao Lena is wandering around here alone..."

With a smile and a nod, Ai Yin was about to steer the conversation further.

"Just looking for a place to sleep."

Lena shook her head and corrected her.

"Then I saw that there were people in the places we couldn't go up."

As she spoke, she looked at Alex.

"It looks perfect for sleeping..."
