After confirming the reason, Alka and Simon took Xuan to the deck.
Due to the spatial expansion, an additional room had been specially created on the third level of the sterncastle, next to where Chadite, Lucilia, and Matilda lived. This room was dedicated to the Puppet Girls. Given their diminutive size, the expanded room was more than spacious enough for their entire Puppet Legion to reside. However, crafting furniture to fit their small frames had taken Alka and Simon considerable effort. Making these things always gave Alka a feeling of playing house. This was especially true for the over seventy sets of beds and bedding.
When Alka and Simon came up, they were immediately surrounded by a large group of Puppet Girls. All of them curiously looked at Xuan on Alka's shoulder; as Puppet Girls, they could easily sense their newly emerged sister.
"Is this the new sister?"
"So beautiful, but she feels a bit different from us."
"It's a captain."
