She's getting better at coordinating her new body. From walking like a baby to now walking almost like us. Her hand coordination, however
"Grr... Space Magic: Float" [Doll Diana].
It's like a baby trying to grab a toy. Instead of using her finger, she finds it hard and has to use her palm. It will still take some time for her, but time is on her side. There's not much else for her to do besides regulating the dungeon, so she can practice and practice until it's perfect.
However, her magic power has decreased significantly. Of course, if it's the doll's original body inside the dungeon, it's similar to me, with much more mana since she can draw some from the dungeon. On the outside, with her controlling this marionnete, while she's still able to use all the elements and spells, it's just the basic ones. Maybe like the basic fireball and wind arrow, but nothing at the high level of teleportation or blaze magic as such.
"So delicious! This is what it feels like to have a functional tongue!" [Doll Diana]
"Wait, your original body doesn't have one?" [Diana]
"It does, but it's pretty crude? I can still feel it, but my primary function is to maintain the dungeon, so something as insignificant as taste is not something I need. Besides, my body is primarily powered by the dungeon's mana, not food" [Doll Diana].
"Then that makes sense" [Princess Siti].
"But this! This chocolate drink! It's absolutely delicious!" [Doll Diana]
"You share a similar taste with Diana" [Tiara]
"We are triplets!" [Diana, Doll Diana]
"Shouldn't you still be considered a twin? Three bodies yes, but technically there are only two souls" [Princess Siti].
That's an interesting way of putting it. However, triplets sounds better! Anyway, I'm sure the two of us will use twins or triplets, whichever we prefer at the moment, so it doesn't really matter.
The doll wanted to explore the surroundings of the dungeon more. She wanted to know more about the surroundings of her home. We can do that, sure, but
"Your home!? I want to see it! I want to visit your home!" [Doll Diana]
"Then let's go go go " [Diana]
"Let's go go go!" [Doll Diana]
"Oh boy, it's been a while since I've been to your house" [Calypso]
"I think it's only been two or three weeks for me" [Princess Siti]
"I've never been to the Vars family mansion. This should be the first time" [Tiara]
"Having a teacher visit my home feels strange" [Diana].
With the autonomous carriage we go. Of course, the doll is excited when she can ride in a carriage. This really reminds me of the first time I took a carriage with Auntie Amleth with the royal thunder unicorn. This is my reaction at the time
When we enter the city, her eyes get so wide. She's just way too excited. So she opens the carriage door and flies out. Calypso, Fie and I do the same. We float with her and tell her everything she wants to know. From orange grass to strawberry lipstick. She asks everything.
The people of Amleth are confused. Why are there two of me? They are sure that I am not a twin like Kara and Mara. So they ask us about it. Even Neloufa, who happened to be there, asked the same question.
"A marionnete? Like the one Master Merlin has?" [Neloufa]
"As a matter of fact, that's exactly what it is!" [Diana]
"You are Master Diana's friend, right? Then feast your eyes on the magnificent masterpiece that's me! A puppet of your truly Master Merlin and Diana! Flawless and elegant!" [Doll Diana]
(I want to see the reaction of the others. But, let me just hide first... Ooh! I want to see how others would react, but if they know that fairies still exist, they'll hunt me down!) [Calypso]
Since Neloufa had just finished her errands and there was nothing else for her to do, I kidnapped her... I mean, I politely took her hand and we went straight to my house. Of course, since she's my best friend, she doesn't resist and kindly follows me. She's a little startled to find Princess Siti and Teacher Tiara with us in the carriage. Maybe the old Neloufa will be petrified, but not her present self. I also cast a spell to let her parents know that she will be playing with me.
At the mansion
"Huh? How? Why is she here?" [Dana]
"Why? Don't you like me? Maybe because I am not your real little sister..." [Doll Diana]
"BOO!" [Princess Siti]
"Double BOO!" [Diana]
"Triple BOO!" [Calypso]
"Of course not... I was just shocked! Come here and let me hug you! It's been a while" [Dana]
"Yay!" [Doll Diana]
"Wait... Is that... A fairy?" [Neloufa]
"Ooops..." [Calypso]
"Neloufa. You are now burdened with another national secret" [Diana].
"No! Please! Then just erase my memory!" [Neloufa]
"Too bad, we trusted you like a family, so we wouldn't do so" [Diana].
"I'm glad to hear that, but..." [Neloufa]
"Don't worry, only a handful of people know about me. I think even your minister doesn't know of my existence, so consider it a privilege" [Calypso].
"My head..." [Neloufa]
(Poor her) [Princess Siti, Tiara]
Since we are all here, Neloufa, The Doll, Calypso and I are having a sleepover. It's a fun day for all of us. Neloufa also gets to know a fairy existence. So a bonus for her. But an unnecessary bonus... Anyway, I have to cast another spell to tell Neloufa's parents about her sleepover. But before I do that, one of the maids offers to just go to Neloufa's house, since it's close to hers. Besides, it's rude to use magic to tell her parents about something so important.
