Alice in the Land of Dolls Volume 1

Prologue Falling from the Sky

The Puppet Village was not originally called the Puppet Village.

Before World War IV, this place was called Ogano Town and was just an ordinary little place west of Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture.

If I had to say there is something special, it would be Tokizakura Shrine in Ogano Town.

This shrine was originally a shrine dedicated to dolls, with 80% of the area filled with dolls. In Japanese culture, people bring unwanted dolls to shrines for disposal, as traditionally, dolls and other items should not be left lying around. Tokinazakura Shrine is a shrine dedicated to the disposal of dolls.

As electronic brain technology and prosthetic technology gradually developed, the originally abandoned dolls gradually became robot dolls. Dolls that could not be placed were sometimes arranged by the shrine in Ogano Town.

However, since then, this place has suddenly become famous for its endless puppets and dolls. Tourists are flocking to it, and the authorities have also taken the initiative to add exquisite robot dolls.

The original name was gradually forgotten, and tourists began to call it Puppet Village. After the Fourth World War, the village population declined, and when the government carried out administrative planning, it was officially named Puppet Village.

"This is probably the best place for me to be buried." Shendai Yikui walked in the puppet village and looked around.

There were no people on either side of the street, only the maid dolls responsible for maintaining the village were sweeping the ground.

However, the closer we got to the village, the more figures appeared around us. However, these figures were not real people, but puppets. The puppets were sitting or standing, as if they were a scene that really existed in the village, frozen in time.

However, the seemingly weird picture reveals a strange beauty. Although the exact reason is unknown, this strangeness is probably what attracts tourists here.

However, Kamishiro Gikui is not a tourist, he is a resident who has settled here.

——The puppeteer Kamishiro Gikui is the best in the world today. The prosthetic bodies and puppets he handcrafts possess strength and quality that surpass those on the market by more than two generations.

However, even such a Godly Righteous Puppet was still not satisfied.

Beauty is perishable.

Just as his mother died from the nuclear radiation in World War III, he saw the fragility of human beings, lost interest in people and began to fall in love with dolls.

In order to obtain the most stable hands and the strongest concentration, he became the first generation of electronic brain users. He developed a series of beautiful puppets, however, these lives were still not perfect.

The more he made puppets, the more he realized that puppets, like humans, had limits.

——Until his daughter was born, the feeling of life made him realize that simple metal and silicon-based chips cannot create a perfect existence.

Yes.

At that moment, his goal was no longer just a puppet, but a perfect human form.

The ultimate human form is the sublimation of humanity and the future of mankind. Humanity is bound to be destroyed, and only by completing this final evolution can humanity be saved.

However, his wife and daughter developed a latent brain disease due to post-war pollution. This is a hereditary genetic defect. After the onset of the disease, the patient will gradually lose himself and is tantamount to death.

Yikui used his most exquisite skills.

But... it failed.

His wife died, his daughter was lost, and Kamishiro Gikui also suffered from incurable electronic cerebral sclerosis.

A man who aspires to save the world, finds in the end that he can't even save the people around him.

His symptoms were not actually that serious, and he was still maintaining his condition. However, Shendai Yikui's hands were no longer as perfect as before. This was a wound that could not be healed even with prosthetic limbs. He could no longer create such a perfect puppet.

At that moment, Yikui understood everything.

The so-called puppets are not made by humans.

Dolls are inanimate objects, counterparts to living things. How can a dead thing be created by humans?

Dolls never expect to be born, just as gods never care about human offerings.

They simply exist there, watching humans shape the puppets and gods they desire into their own appearance according to their own needs.

Puppets and gods are beings of the same nature, two sides of the same coin of life and death, and humans are nothing more than clowns showing off their ugly little cleverness.

The disheartened Kamishiro Yoshigumi bought the Tokina Shrine in the Puppet Village. He planned to rest in peace in this sacred place for puppets.

After entering the mountain path leading to Tokina Shrine, you'll find puppets lining both sides of the path. These puppets, stacked up along the path, have become part of the scenery.

Looking upwards from afar, you can see the cherry blossoms in full bloom on the evergreen cherry trees. It's not the cherry blossom season, but the evergreen cherry trees are still in full bloom, which is why they are called "evergreen cherry trees."

"God, why can't we humans create such eternal beauty?" he murmured.

However, the god did not respond to Kamishiro Yoshikui. Only the cherry blossom petals floating down from the mountain seemed to be mocking the puppeteer who was trying to glimpse the realm of the god.

Shen Dai Yi Kui sighed. He also knew that there was no God in this world, or rather, God did not care about humans. In this world, there was nothing ultimate and eternal.

The puppeteer once knew this, but even so, the puppeteer of the past had once marched towards the mountaintop, which was unknown whether it existed, like a warrior.

But the result is self-evident—he fell into a dark valley.

"Ok?"

However, at this moment, he seemed to hear a strange sound, which sounded like music and also like words.

But what surprised him was not this, but the origin of the sound - his electronic brain did not detect the existence of any sound, and there was no sound around him in his senses.

But the voice just appeared, as if reflected directly into his consciousness.

And... the source of the sound is the cherry tree over there.

He stared for a while, then suddenly quickened his pace and headed towards the shrine on the mountain.

He was just walking fast at first, but gradually his speed increased.

His breathing became rapid and his body felt uncomfortable due to lack of oxygen, but he did not stop.

Kamishiro Yikui ran to the entrance of the shrine at the fastest speed in his life.

He gasped and pushed the door open with difficulty.

But the moment he pushed open the door, his breathing stopped.

Above the huge evergreen cherry tree, a point of light gradually grew.

The cherry-colored glow illuminated the surrounding space, and all time seemed to have stood still.

Then, the light gradually fell.

It was not until this time that the dazed Shen Dai Yi Kui reacted. He hurriedly ran forward and carefully caught the light.

But just as he came into contact with the light spot, it gradually turned into a solid entity.

It's a young child.

"girl?"

Shendai Yikui looked at the baby that fell from the sky in surprise.

The young child was sleeping soundly in a swaddling cloth made of light spots. Her sleeping face was so beautiful that the time around her seemed to have stopped.

He laughed.

He wanted to laugh out loud, but in order to avoid disturbing the girl, he just smiled silently.

"I see, so this is your answer... God."

The gods gave the answer.

Facing this puppeteer who challenged the Supreme Realm, the gods gave him revelation.

——At least, that’s what the man thought at this moment.

"Incredible..."

Shendai Yikui's eyes were looking at the girl. His illegally modified eyeballs had extreme scanning capabilities. It was because of this that he discovered that this girl's body was completely different from that of ordinary people.

At this moment, Kamishiro Yikui had already decided: the girl in front of him would become his finest and final work.

He thought of the voice he suddenly heard when he was on the mountainside.

He looked at the sleeping girl.

"From now on, you will be called Kamishiro Amane (かみしろ-あまね_Kamishiro-Amane)."

Chapter 1: The Girl and the Doll

Kamishiro Gikui stared at the puppet in front of him.

This is a doll that looks like a little girl, about three or five years old, with platinum hair and blue eyes, and she is wearing a red children's kimono.

Kamishiro Gikui looked at the monitor next to him.

Although it looks like a child, it has very superior performance. Both its output and ability are higher than any prosthetic dolls he has made before. Even military prosthetics cannot be compared with it.

This is an extreme and wonderful experience. Even though his hands are not as delicate as before due to electronic cerebral sclerosis, his puppet making skills have reached a higher level.

Although his condition is far worse than before, he can say that at this moment he has surpassed the past.

"But... compared to the original body, there's still a huge difference... Is this the difference between gods and humans..."

However, such a master sighed at this moment.

He left the workshop.

Outside the workshop is the corridor of the shrine. Maid robots in kimonos are cleaning the corridor, and gardener robots outside are pruning branches. The empty and huge shrine is now filled with these dolls.

"Where is Tianyin?" he casually asked the maid robot.

"The young lady is in the offering hall." The maid robot replied.

Yikui nodded and headed towards the Fengna Hall, while the maid robot continued to clean the house.

He came to the Offering Hall and walked in.

There were many dolls in the hall, filled with them. Some wore lovely kimonos, some wore elegant gothic clothing, and some wore simple dresses. Although the clothes were different, the appearance of these dolls was exactly the same as the doll Yikui had made before. These dolls, dressed in various clothes, were all seated in the hall, on display.

The Honoden is where the Tokina Shrine enshrines dolls, but after Yikui arrived, all the dolls here were cleared out, leaving only these dolls with incredible appearances.

Surprisingly, however, the tourists were not disgusted at all. Instead, they thought these incredible dolls were so beautiful that the number of visitors increased significantly.

However, it was still early morning and the shrine was not yet open to the public, so there was no one inside.

Yi Kui looked around but did not find his daughter. Or perhaps it was because his daughter was everywhere that he could not find his daughter.

"Tianyin!" he shouted.

"Dad?" He just shouted, and a "doll" wearing a kimono on his right suddenly opened his eyes.

"You're here again." Yi Kui walked towards his daughter Tianyin, "This is not a place for you to play."

The puppets here are all made according to Tianyin, and she cannot be discovered at all when standing among the puppets.

"I'm doing serious work." Although she looked only three or five years old, the precocious girl spoke seriously, like a little adult.

"Are you going to scare the guests again, as you did before?"
