I thought it was a healing farming game.
Chapter 34

“How can there be this many dolls……?”
The lights in the room happened to be off.
The moment I opened the dark door, I came face to face with roughly two hundred finely crafted dolls — no wonder I was startled.
“Oh… I really did get a shock.”
I rubbed my trembling legs and caught my breath for a moment.
Then another shadow fell across my own on the floor.
I stared at the shadow with wide eyes before snapping my head up.
The twins stood expressionless in the doorway, holding hands.
I’d been blinking blankly, but suddenly I came to my senses and stretched out both hands, quickly grabbing theirs.
“Found you!”
I cried out from my seat on the floor, and Yu-eun and Eun-yu blinked their large doll-like eyes once.
I laughed playfully and let go of their hands.
“Just kidding. This round of Hide and Seek is invalid!”
I brushed off my knees and stood up, meeting the twins’ gaze.
“Did you come out because you heard me scream?”
They must have emerged from their hiding spot after hearing my cry.
It would have been natural for them to be startled by the sudden noise, but I felt oddly proud that they’d found me together anyway.
I glanced at the twins before quickly adding an explanation.
“When I opened the door, there were so many dolls that I got scared and screamed loudly by accident. I’m sorry.”
The twins kept gazing at me quietly.
“Should we start Hide and Seek over?”
The twins shook their heads in unison.
Seeing that response, I felt deflated.
I’d wanted to give them a good time, but what if they thought playing with me wasn’t fun?
Then Yu-eun, who’d been staring at my face, pointed toward the display shelf. Her small lips moved quietly.
“Let’s play Doll Play.”
I brightened up immediately.
“Sure?”
The twins skillfully retrieved dolls from the display shelf while I peered over their shoulders.
‘There are quite a few unusual dolls besides the pretty ones.’
Children, students, middle-aged couples, elderly people — each doll represented a different age and had distinct facial features.
At first glance, they looked so lifelike they could pass for real people.
“How do you collect all of these?”
“They’re made for us.”
“From a Craft Workshop or somewhere? That explains why they all look handmade.”
I carefully picked up one of the dolls and examined it. It was spotless, without a single blemish or scratch.
Then Yu-eun, who’d chosen a doll, toddled over and grabbed my wrist.
“This way, this way.”
As her small frame led the way, her dress hem and thick braided hair swayed with each step.
‘So cute……!’
I shut my eyes tight and obediently followed where Yu-eun pulled me.
Just the fact that she’d taken my hand first made me smile like a fan receiving an unexpected gift.
In the center of the room sat a large Doll House.
“Wow, the Doll House is enormous.”
I marveled at the intricate model, which was more detailed than anything I’d seen at the Department Store, and sat down with the twins, surrounding the Doll House.
In both my hands were a gentleman doll and a young girl doll.
‘I mustn’t damage them, so I need to be careful.’
Eun-yu pointed at the girl doll and spoke.
“This one is Miel.”
It didn’t look especially like me, but I nodded quietly.
Then Eun-yu held up two twin dolls.
“These are us.”
I could tell at a glance they were dolls fashioned after the twins, even without explanation.
I held up the other doll in my hand—a middle-aged man figure.
“What about this one?”
“That’s the man.”
He didn’t have a name. I smiled and asked back, “Just ‘the man’?”
“Yep. The man.”
Eun-yu answered without hesitation, then brought the doll over and pressed a button on the nape of its neck.
Beep.
Immediately, a slurred, drunken voice poured out from the man doll.
“Ahhhhh—this is the life!”
My eyes went wide before I burst out laughing.
If I’d been holding water, I would have sprayed it all over the room.
“No, but the voice is…… so realistic.”
Whoever the voice actor was, they were incredible.
The twins casually seated the man doll at the Doll House’s dining table and placed a small Bottle Prop beside him.
Eun-yu pressed the button again.
Beep.
“Now that’s the taste! That’s the real taste! Bring me another bottle!”
Listening to the man’s voice, I clutched my stomach and laughed until I couldn’t breathe.
“Ha-ha-ha! Don’t normal dolls usually just have cute expressions? No voice?”
After laughing for a while, I wiped away the tears that had gathered at my eyes and joined in the roleplay.
“Sir, you really shouldn’t drink anymore. How many bottles have you had already?”
I moved the girl doll, trying to take the man’s bottle away.
At that, Eun-yu quickly lifted the man doll and made him escape with the Bottle Prop.
I hurriedly moved the girl doll to chase after him.
“Hey, you can’t just take the bottle like that! Sir! Stop!”
As I had the doll in my hand stage a pursuit, the twin doll suddenly blocked the escaping man’s path.
“You two!”
The joy at the arrival of reinforcements was short-lived.
Surrounded, the man doll didn’t care in the slightest and continued drinking right there where he stood.
An empty bottle fell to the floor with a clatter.
“This won’t do. Come on, you two. We have to stop him.”
Speaking gravely, the Eun-yu doll moved to take the man away.
“Let’s go, sir.”
That’s when Eun-yu pressed the button once more.
Beep.
“Tch! You’re ruining the taste! Kids, go get some sleep!”
I dropped my jaw.
Was that really an appropriate line for a children’s toy?
My eyes automatically turned to check the twins’ faces first.
Both wore perfectly calm expressions.
‘Isn’t this bad for children’s sensibilities?’
It was completely different from the wholesome Doll Play I’d imagined.
‘Where on earth did they buy this doll from?’
While I grappled with confusion inside, the twins moved the dolls with practiced ease—clearly not novices at this game.
The man doll kept muttering that he had no money, then began rummaging around inside the Doll House.
Little Candlesticks and decorative pieces, expensive-looking props—one by one they disappeared into his hands.
“Wait, sir, you can’t just take things like that!”
I protested urgently, but Eun-yu didn’t stop controlling the doll.
Beep.
“Give me money, money. There must be plenty of expensive things here, don’t you think?”
Soon the man doll delivered the next line with impeccable timing and perfectly calibrated dialogue.
I didn’t know how to react and just frowned.
“…… This man is pretty awful, isn’t he?”
At my words, the twins both nodded in unison.
“Bad man.”
“The bad man.”
Mindful that I should set a good example in front of the children, I moved the girl doll and firmly told him off.
“That’s not right. These aren’t even your things! Stealing is wrong!”
But the man doll didn’t back down—if anything, he only grew more brazen.

“What are you talking about? Stop fooling around and get out of here! Even I have my limits with children.”
This is maddening.
I have no idea why the Doll only has these lines recorded.
I let out a deep sigh and turned back to the twins.
“You two… let’s work together and throw this mister out. At this rate, he’ll squander the whole household.”
It seemed that only by driving this Doll out could we have any proper play at all.
But the mister, of course, had no intention of leaving quietly.
When the three Dolls blocked his path, he huffed indignantly and shoved the twin Dolls instead.
Then he raised his hands high and began striking out hard.
“Wait!”
Startled, I instinctively stepped in front of the twin Dolls and cried out.
Then I shook my head toward Eun-yu.
“This kind of behavior is wrong, you two. No matter how angry you get, you mustn’t hit other people.”
Then Eun-yu looked up at me and said.
“We didn’t do it.”
Yu-eun nodded in agreement.
“The mister did.”
