Mono stuffed the lighter back to Six and patted the ash off his hands.
The timid and fearful Six isn't cute at all.
He still preferred the Six who took initiative; at least then he could hug her calves. Six stared blankly at the lighter in her hand, then silently looked at the paper on the ground that had already turned to ash.
Then she raised her head.
Mono had already run to the other end and was crouching in a corner, picking up dolls scattered about.
"Hurry over here, I can't carry this many things."
Six finally snapped out of it, silently put the lighter back into her bosom, and walked over on her bare feet.
But before she could even stand steady,
Mono, who had just stood up, turned his head and directly...
...shoved a large pile of dolls he had just collected into her hands. Her head was buried by the dolls.
"Move these over there for me."
Mono pointed to the X-ray medical imaging equipment they had just passed.
"Mmm, I can't see the way."
A flat voice came from the head buried under the dolls, sounding a bit muffled... Mono patted her head, then grabbed her shoulders and turned her around.
"idiot, just go straight..." Mono's voice drifted over.
Seeing Six's silly and cute appearance, he felt like bullying her again; what should he do?
Mono continued picking up other dolls on the floor...
He wasn't sure which doll the key would be in, but as long as he brought them all over to be X-rayed, he would find it.
As for why someone would hide a key inside a doll, Mono didn't know.
Perhaps it was someone's prank, or perhaps someone wanted to hide the entrance and didn't want anyone to open the door?
Both were possible.
But he had to get the key.
Soon, a large pile of dolls was stacked behind the components of the X-ray detection equipment. During this time, Six ran several trips with her head buried, which made Mono feel a tiny bit of "guilt."
Mono silently walked to the power supply unit.
Six stood to the side with her bare feet, watching him.
Mono leaped up, grabbed the knife switch with both hands, and pressed down with his weight to activate the switch.
*Click?*
The current was instantly connected.
The screen flashed.
Suddenly, the insides of all the dolls were clearly visible.
And one of the dolls, showing a key-shaped object inside, lay quietly in a corner.
"Hey, Six, go and take it out..." Mono shouted at Six as he landed on the ground.
The key was found, and things had gone much more smoothly than he had imagined; his mood improved significantly.
Six started walking toward the back of the detection device.
Six disappeared behind the equipment.
Then Mono saw a moving little "skeleton" on the screen. That was Six's X-ray image.
The little skeleton wiggled and hopped, her pace neither slow nor hurried.
"So... cute."
Mono watched silently.
Was Six even cute down to her bones?
Why did he think a skeleton was... cute?
Mono was silent for a moment.
It wasn't possible that he had some special fetish for bones, right?
Six walked out holding a little bunny doll.
Mono stared at Six's face.
Six, holding a doll as tall as a person, looked quite, ahem... Mono suppressed the inexplicable thoughts in his mind.
Calming his mind, Mono pointed at the doll in Six's hands and slowly...
...said:
"Tear it open for me."
"Hmm?" A hint of confusion flashed in Six's eyes.
