Beng San, I have an unfinished date with her

Alicia could feel that the light group was referring to the buildings in the village not far away... It was strange, she didn't know why, but she could feel it anyway.

"That's a human settlement, a human building."

"Humanity?"

"Yeah! Humans, for example, me, Alicia, I am a human."

"Are all humans like you, Alicia?"

Alicia shook her head, she opened her arms as if to embrace the whole world and said excitedly: "No, there are many, many different forms of human beings, and each one is different! The world is really so big!"

"And me - Alicia is Alicia, one of a kind, right?"

"..."

"So, am I human?"

"Uh..."

Alicia paused, she didn't expect this elf to ask such a question.

"Well -" she thought for a moment with her eyes, "you can be - but, you don't have a name yet. Everyone has their own name, such as me, Alicia."

"It means eternal paradise."

"What about you, little elf? I think I asked you just now~"

"The name... I can't think of it." The light ball floated around Alicia and said.

"Unexpected... Hmm... Then, how about I give you a name?" Alicia said with a smile as she walked on the road in the village with her hands behind her back, following the light ball floating around her.

"Name...how should I say it, thank you?"

Alicia blinked, and the smile on her face became brighter: "You're welcome, you learn quickly."

"Well, let me think about it, what should I call you?"

Ailixi stretched out her hand, let the light ball fall on her hand, and came closer, staring at the little elf with beautiful eyes and thinking.

The ball of light really did what she thought and liked, subconsciously moving in her hand like a cute plush ball.

"Um...."

The light emitted by the light group was not dazzling, it was very strange, and Alicia could keep staring at it.

Obviously the light at its core is very bright, so bright that it can't be seen clearly, just like the sun - but it is not dazzling, it can be looked directly at, and even the light shining on the body makes Alicia feel like It's like being bathed in the sun on a spring afternoon, warm and comfortable, like a little sun.

Although it is intertwined with platinum and gold.

However, the light group in Alicia's hand wonderfully limited the propagation distance of the light, making only the area less than half a meter around Alicia full of light.

But... in a daze.

Alicia suddenly realized that she seemed to see something in the extremely bright center of the light group.

It seems...a person?

Alicia blinked repeatedly, trying to see more clearly.

But looking over again, it's still the bright center...

However, there was still something gained - she seemed to have received some information just now.

Alicia distanced herself, looked at the whole group of light and said, "How about your name, [Long]?"

"Long?"

"I don't understand...it's okay, it doesn't matter."

Alicia smiled and put it back on her shoulder: "It doesn't matter, the name is very important. But... before the name, you must first recognize the existence of others, otherwise you only know the name. It doesn’t make sense either.”

"Like, I saw you and I found out your name was Alicia, so that makes sense?"

"Yes, otherwise many people can be called Alicia. What will happen then? So before you remember the name, you have to remember me first~"

"I understand...my name is, Long. That's my name."

"bingo!"

The ball of light bounced on Alicia's shoulder, and she turned to look at Ellie's side face: "Is this the first step to becoming a human like Alicia?"

"That's right." Alicia snapped her fingers in response and continued: "However, when it comes to becoming a human, I don't think you can think of becoming like me, Takashi."

"Why? I feel like it's great to be someone like Alicia."

"Because, you are you."

"...I do not understand."

"Haha-Long, didn't you agree to leave with me? You will see all kinds of different people."

"I think the beautiful and interesting thing about this world is that there are all kinds of things and people."

"How boring it would be if everyone were the same."

"So, Long, you must not learn to be me! I can feel it. You are very imitative and responsive to the outside world. You will release your power to help even the silent growth of flowers on the earth and grass. They...are like this, um...I can't say whether they are good or bad, but...Takashi, you'd better not use your power so easily."

The ball of light moved: "I don't understand...but since you said that, Aili, I think there is a reason - I will pay attention to it."

"Ok!"

With that said, Alicia knocked on the door of a room.

The faint night light shone on the window next to the door, showing that the people in the house were not asleep yet.

Soon, a woman opened the door.

"Alicia, you're back."

Alicia looked at her expression, turned her head slightly to look at Long, and found that the woman did not put her eyes on her shoulder.

Alicia quickly reacted and said coquettishly: "I'm sorry, auntie, I'm watching fireflies outside, it's a little late."

The woman's face was full of smiles: "It's okay, Aili, are you hungry? I'll heat up the food."

"Thank you auntie!"

"Hehehehe~" Alicia hummed and came to sit down at the dinner table.

"She...is the aunt you call Alicia. She doesn't seem to be able to see me."

"Yes, I also discovered this problem when I opened the door. Don't you know, Long?"

"do not know..."

"What's the food?" After Long finished speaking, he jumped on the table and asked Alicia again. Alicia laughed and teased Long with her fingers, lighting Long's ball of light.

"Meals, meals are what humans eat to fill their stomachs. For ordinary humans, eating is an essential daily activity to maintain life." Ai Li raised her index finger and explained: "Food It’s also one of the things in the human world worth visiting again and again, and it tastes good.”

"Long, do you want to try it? I'll share it with you later."

"Eat...well, Alicia, let me try."

"Ding--" A voice from the kitchen rang out, attracting their attention, and soon the woman came out with a dinner plate.

Long floated on the table to make way for the dinner plate - even though he didn't need it at all, he did it subconsciously.

"Eat quickly, Alicia. I'll prepare hot water for you to take a bath."

"Thank you auntie!"

"Hey-" being thanked by Alicia's sweet voice made the woman feel extremely comfortable.

Looking at the woman heading to other rooms, Long had a new question.

Alicia looked at it with a spoon and said: "Ask me if you have anything, I will answer everything for you~"

As he spoke, he scooped a spoonful of mashed potatoes and handed it to Long.

Looking at the spoon, which was half the size of his body, Takashi moved closer to imitate Ellie's eating behavior just now, thinking about moving the mashed potatoes into his body.

From Ellie's perspective, suddenly, the mashed potatoes in the spoon suddenly disappeared.

Long's body trembled. He felt the so-called "taste" and said to Ellie: "This is the so-called taste. I understand."

Ai Li said in surprise: "Long, can you taste it? It's amazing!"

"Well, I don't know for sure, but my thinking is very certain - that is indeed the smell."

"Oh--!"

Ellie even clapped her hands gently to show her appreciation for Longchit.

Brand new branches: 282. Take a bath

"However, I feel like I have no need for food...probably because I don't have a body like Alicia. Alicia, just eat."

"Well, don't worry, you will definitely be able to find a body that you are satisfied with in the future, Long."

"Oh...well, my body..." Long seemed to be lost in thought, and the ball of light fell on the table motionless.

Alicia also started to enjoy dinner.

After a while, she remembered to ask: "Long, what did you want to ask me just now, right? I felt what you were thinking~"

"Just now? Oh yes." Long jumped up and floated on the table, looking very lively: "I just wanted to ask, that aunt became very happy when she saw Alicia, just like when I saw you I also feel very happy when I see you.”

"Is this because Alicia has any special abilities?"

Alicia held the spoon and looked at Long with a bright smile.

"It's easy, because I'm cute enough~"

"Cute enough. Is that enough?"

"Hahaha—" Alicia laughed like a silver bell, her branches trembling with laughter.

After stopping, Alicia teased Long very gently with the handle of the spoon: "Of course it's not just cute, although I am indeed very beautiful."

"Ahem." Alicia coughed and then said to Long seriously: "The most important magic weapon for Alicia to make people likeable is to treat others sincerely."

"Treat others sincerely. Does that mean you don't lie to others?" Guangtuan jumped a little, seeming to be happy that he understood.

"It's not just that~ There is also caring for others, blessing others, caring about others, in short - exchange hearts for hearts, and compare hearts with hearts."

"Exchange hearts for hearts...compare hearts to hearts." Long lowered his "head" and pondered.

Alicia didn't bother Long when she saw this. She put away the plates and cutlery and took them to the kitchen together.

Then he hummed a melody and walked towards the room where the aunt went to help.

Long looked at her leaving back and continued to think in a low voice: "I have a heart to heart, but I don't have such a thing as a heart... Or does it refer to the way Alicia treated me before?"

"...But in that case, why doesn't Alicia let me learn from her?"

"If everyone was like Alicia, wouldn't it be a wonderful world?"

"...hard to understand."

Listening to the laughter coming from the room, Long was full of doubts.

This laughter, as well as my own feelings, are all proof and necessary to prove Alicia's existence.

"..."

"Maybe if I look around the world more with Alicia and see the many people she talks about, I should be able to get the answer?"

After thinking about it, the light ball bounced on the table quite solidly, just like a rubber ball.

"Try to become a human...?"

"Hmm - try it!"

As he spoke, Long began to change, but at the end, the light group began to change, and then he thought about what he should become - this was back to the strange circle from the beginning.

Alicia didn't allow herself to imitate her, but for a moment she felt that there was no better human being than Alicia.

After persisting in this state of sorrow and embarrassment for several seconds, Long realized that he had not continued to change.

"Uh...how did it become like this?"

At this time, Long, although his whole body was still glowing, with an unfathomable core of light - but the whole body had changed from a ball of light into a bright human shape that looked like a two-headed doll more than ten centimeters tall...

The shiny doll raised its funny, thick arm to touch his forehead, but found that his big head was blocked and he couldn't touch it at all.

"..."
