Mystery: Lucky One

Klein listened to Alice's prayer above the gray fog, suppressed the strange feeling in his heart when he heard the last sentence, and focused on what Alice said.

Cattleya...maybe the secret was leaked?
As Alice said, this is not actually a leak. After all, Bernadette has long known about "The Fool" and the non-existent Tarot Society, and also knows that they are suspected of collecting diaries and "blasphemous cards".

But Mr. Fool really shouldn't have no reaction to this... No, he should confirm this first - the tone of Alice's words sounded like she didn't care about verification at all, and was just trying to get rid of it!
After confirming through divination that Cattleya had indeed contacted Bernadette right after the Tarot session, Klein thought for a while, edited the image of Alice's prayer just now, and sent the second half.

……

In the foggy sea, the captain's room of the "Future".

Cattleya suddenly felt a gray fog suddenly appear in front of her eyes. She saw the blurry figure of Miss Destiny leaning against - it should be a window, with the sea behind her... She was on a boat?
Such thoughts flashed through her mind, and she soon heard the familiar brisk tone:
"What the front foot said just now was violated by the back foot. It would be too embarrassing if there was no reaction at all, right?
"Go and give her some color, Mr. Fool!"

...Why does this tone feel like calling a pet?

As soon as this disrespectful thought popped up, Cattleya quickly gathered her thoughts and forced herself to turn her attention to Alice's words.

The message contained in this passage disturbed her, and she recalled the contents of her letter.

She didn't actually reveal the existence of the Tarot Society, she just said that someone was collecting Rosell's diaries. Is it... okay?

The punishment she was worried about did not come, and she realized that relaying Miss Destiny's words was considered a warning from Mr. Fool, so...

Cattleya recalled Mr. Fool's attitude at the Tarot meeting, and suddenly realized something even more terrifying - Mr. Fool may not have the intention to punish her, but he didn't seem to have the intention to stop Miss Destiny from causing trouble for her.

Cattleya suddenly felt that this was much more terrifying than divine punishment.

……

It is estimated that it will take three days, that is, next Tuesday night, for the San Fernando to arrive at the port of Tiana.

——Only if there are no accidents.

Of course, accidents don't happen that easily. The bad luck Alice randomly assigned to the ship had no effect until the Tarot Club started again on Monday.

Alice had to admit that she was a little bored.

When she opened her eyes above the gray fog, she did not wait for Audrey's greetings as usual, but looked at Cattleya with a smile and asked in an upward tone:

"Good afternoon, Ms. Hermit~"

Just as she was about to stand up and say hello, "Justice" Audrey closed her mouth. She realized that Miss Destiny seemed to want to cause trouble for Ms. "Hermit".

But...why?
Alice's character does not hold grudges, and she usually takes revenge on the spot, so... what did Ms. "Hermit" do this week?
Cattleya, who was vaguely the center of attention, suddenly regretted her previous decision - she originally thought that the Tarot Club was not far away, and this matter could be discussed at the Tarot Club.

After all, she didn't have the consciousness of Alice to use Mr. Fool as a talking point without any courtesy.

Cattleya did not look at Mr. Fool who was serving as a relay signal tower. In her opinion, if Mr. Fool wanted to stop him, he would have stopped him long ago.

She has not yet considered the problem that Mr. Fool might not be able to stop.

After careful consideration, Cattleya responded: "Good afternoon, Miss Destiny." After Alice stared at her for a few seconds, she sighed in disappointment and said:

"It seems that some people don't take my words seriously at all... It's really disgusting, don't you think so, Ms. Hermit?"

Cattleya didn't dare to speak. Of course she knew who some of the people Alice was referring to - she could guarantee that if this were the real world, she would be covered in cold sweat.

Even though she didn't have the ability to sweat or stand on end above the gray mist, she still temporarily lost the ability to speak. It wasn't until Alice felt bored because she didn't get a response for so long that she withdrew her gaze that she felt a little better.

Alice, who withdrew her gaze, fell back on the chair as if she were boneless, and said slowly:

"Tell Bernadette that if she wants to know something, be prepared to pay the price.

"The things I said at that time were not told to her in vain.

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to pay the price for the time being, but what I take as the price later depends on my mood~"

Cattleya was not the only one who was sweating now. Alger began to seriously recall whether he had ever coaxed Miss Destiny.

In this atmosphere where everyone was in danger, Audrey was obviously not in the mood to get up and say hello. Alice looked at the quiet Tarot Club and asked thoughtfully:

"Everyone, do you know...

"Is there any sequence of abilities that allows people to taste things without worrying about being full?"

"Huh?" Audrey was the first to voice doubts. Although the others did not speak out like her, their expressions seemed to be the same.

"No?" Alice blinked twice.

"...I have never paid attention to this issue," Alger, the well-informed "Hanged Man", responded euphemistically. "Normally, we don't use extraordinary abilities to do such things."

"...I didn't think so either." Cattleya added. At the same time, she glanced vaguely at Mr. Fool in the gray mist.

The two most knowledgeable members of the Tarot Society have said so, and it is even less likely that others will know. So, the only one who can expect it is Mr. Fool.

Think about it, if Miss Destiny is always asking questions like this, then Mr. Fool must really have trouble keeping a normal mind...

Such thoughts passed through the hearts of the members of the Tarot Society, and they also looked vaguely at Klein in the gray fog. Klein thought for a while in the gray fog, controlled the "world" and asked:
"Miss Destiny, have you been a little too idle recently?"

Alice's movements paused slightly. She remembered Klein's previous question, turned her head and answered vigilantly:
"I don't.

"But whoever stays at sea for almost a week will be bored, right? There's nothing here..."

Alice gritted her teeth, swallowed back the "cell phone" she almost blurted out, and then said:

"Anyway, I won't go to school, don't even think about it!" (End of Chapter)
