Mystery: Lucky One

After opening the door, Klein did not see Alice as he expected.

He was a little surprised. After thinking for a while, he went out, walked around and came under the window.

Alice was indeed waiting for him there. When she saw him, she raised her head happily and stretched out a hand to him.

Just like the kids in kindergarten waiting to be picked up by their parents... No, ordinary kids are not as torturous as she is.

Klein shook his head and reached out for Alice's hand, but an ice cream suddenly appeared and he held it.

Klein took it in confusion and looked at Alice suspiciously.

“Happy Valentine’s Day, Mr. Fool~” Alice blinked. “Although I should give you chocolates… forget about roses. You should ask someone else for roses.”

Yes, today is February 2th, Valentine's Day... Klein, who had never been in a relationship in his two lifetimes, was silent for a while, took the ice cream, and then asked hesitantly:

"How do you find ice cream so late at night?"

After they stared at each other in silence for more than ten seconds, Alice hesitated and asked:
"If I told you that I ate this not long ago, would you feel...

"Is this what I ate and then threw up?"

Klein suddenly had the urge to smash the ice cream in his hand onto her face. He estimated the difference in strength between the two of them and the difficulty of coaxing Alice, and finally gave up the idea.

"Alice," Klein smiled kindly and looked down at Alice. He was satisfied to see that she had become well-behaved. "Did you do something bad behind my back?"

Alice stuck it to the wall, then raised her head and said firmly: "No, I didn't do anything!"

Is there any difference between this reaction and direct admission...? Klein pinched his brows with a headache, stretched out a hand to Alice and said, "Get up from the ground first."

Alice didn't grab his hand. She got up from the ground by herself, then stood against the wall and lowered her head obediently.

After staring at Alice for two seconds, Klein suggested, "If you want to make her stand facing the wall, it would be more appropriate."

Alice thought what he said made sense, so she turned around obediently. After staring at the wall and the ground for two seconds, she turned back with a frown and asked doubtfully:
"Why should I stand in the corner? I didn't do anything wrong."

Klein maintained a warm smile and asked, "What happened to the Saint-Furran?"

Alice turned back silently.

Klein pulled Alice back speechlessly. Alice followed his force and turned her body around. Then she looked up at him cautiously and said with a pursed mouth:

"I didn't mean to do that. I, I didn't know there would be such serious consequences, and I've tried my best to make amends..."

Klein kept smiling.

After a minute of silence, Alice, who was trying not to cry, lost her patience first. She put away her false confession and tears, lowered her head and said:

“Before arriving at Bayam, I was too bored and added a bad luck to the ship…

"But nothing happened in the next few days, so I thought nothing happened...

"After I got my uniqueness back, I saw that ship, that ship..."

Alice bit her lip and didn't say anything else.

She wasn't really repenting. She might have felt a little guilty, but she was more afraid that I would be angry... However, this was much better than at the beginning. Klein drew a conclusion from Alice's attitude. He shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and reached out to ruffle Alice's hair.

It feels really good... He withdrew his hand without leaving a trace, looked at Alice who raised her head in confusion and asked softly:
"You said you made amends?"

He didn't seem too angry... Alice stood up a little straighter, and the words to explain that she had left a "prophecy" circled around her lips, and then changed to another sentence:
"I, I made sure nothing happened to the people on the ship...

"In this way, shipwrecks will still happen, but it will only be the ship that has problems, and the people on board will be fine in the end.

"This should be fine, right?"

Alice raised her eyes to look at Klein, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not try to manipulate the probability to make him believe.

If I make the decision for him, he will be unhappy... Alice pursed her lips, lowered her head, and said with her eyes downcast:

"The prophecy Amyrius mentioned was about this... So, once the prophecy comes true, it should be considered a legend... right?"

The whole explanation makes sense, and there is no problem with Alice's redemption. As for the Storm Church... forget it, Alice hasn't spent all the stolen money yet.

And since she had already shared the spoils with the goddess, she should let the goddess take care of this matter... Klein shook his head and casually reached out to Alice's hair again.

Alice dodged his touch and glared at him warily.

After two seconds of silence, Klein suggested, "You can write down in the Holy Scripture that I touched your hair."

Alice immediately decided to go back and draw the scene of Miss Cynthia's confession and give it to him.

Klein didn't know Alice's determination. After thinking for two seconds, he decided to get Alice for free:
"Can you take me back to the hotel?"

It wasn't too much to ask, and Alice grabbed him and sent him back, but she made no move to leave.

So Klein, who was about to go to bed, had to continue dealing with Alice:

"Do you have anything else to do?"

Alice blinked twice and said hesitantly, "Although I know you probably don't mean that, but..."

"That's enough," Klein suddenly remembered what happened in the bathroom that day, and he interrupted Alice hastily, "I didn't mean to invite you to sleep with me!"

Alice stared at him and said, "But your question is really easy to be misunderstood..."

Klein was silent for a moment, then gently reminded him, "I think you might be the only one who thinks this way."

Alice's mouth opened in surprise.

Klein glanced at her and continued to remind her, "Just like I think a normal person would never climb out of the window just now..."

Alice closed her mouth hesitantly.

Klein continued, "Perhaps you can tell me what else you have to say so that I can see if this idea is normal."

Alice looked at him hesitantly and said, "You haven't received your reward yet. I don't think this matter is completely over yet..."

Fortunately, it's still normal... Klein nodded and encouraged Alice with a smile:
"Keep going, you're thinking more and more like a human being!" (End of this chapter)
