Mystery: Lucky One

After realizing that Alice was really planning to give up on this proposal, Klein's smile became more genuine:

“I have a way for you to talk to it.

"However, can we try other methods first? For example, I can write a letter to Vice Admiral Iceberg..."

Alice hesitated for a few seconds and then nodded.

……

The letter to Edwina was not difficult to write. After all, Klein had mentioned Alice's schooling to Edwina before. Now he was just bringing up the old matter again and making it a final decision.

The real change came with the appearance of Renette Tinicole.

Alice obviously remembered that the messenger lady who she had asked why she had no head on her neck took a few steps back guiltily after seeing Renette appear with four heads.

This attracted Renette's attention.

Four pairs of red eyes fell on her. Alice thought for a moment and silently moved behind Klein.

Klein moved aside, exposing Alice to her incredulous eyes, and then said to Renette Tinicole:
"Just send her the reply letter."

Renette Tinicole looked at Alice deeply, then bit the envelope and left.

As soon as “He” left, Klein turned to Alice and asked, “If you were so scared, why did you say that at the time?”

Alice covered her face with her hands and replied weakly, "My mouth moved by itself..."

After a pause, she put down her hand and emphasized, "I'm not afraid of Him! I'm an angel too! We are the same at best!"

Klein declined to comment.

A punch hit the cotton, and Alice instantly lost interest in talking. She waved her hand and said, "I'll go back first. Call me if you need anything."

After she finished speaking, she fell backwards and fell to the ground in front of Klein's stunned eyes. She then disappeared before she fell.

……

Alice's body fell heavily on the bed under the influence of gravity. She lay motionless and closed her eyes without any struggle.

Ten minutes later, she opened her eyes again and looked at Renette Tinicole, who was holding four heads.

"Just... put it down." Alice said as she looked at the reply letter held in Renette Tinicole's mouth.

Renette Tinicole really put down the letter, but she did not disappear immediately. Instead, she asked Alice:

"You..." "Need..." "A messenger..." "Do you?"

Alice was stunned for a moment. She had indeed always been eager to get a messenger, or to be more precise, she wanted a special messenger.

A messenger who is an angel with four heads does meet the criteria of being "special", so...

Alice stared at Renette Tinicole. After more than ten seconds, she gave him a gentle and distant social smile and asked him in a soft but emotionless voice:
"What do you want?"

This was too straightforward. Reinette Tinicole did not speak immediately, as if she was considering it. However, Alice did not intend to wait any longer. She kept smiling and said:

"Go back, wait until you figure out what you want and what you can pay, then come back to me." "I'm not him, I would accept an angel of unknown origin as a messenger... even though he didn't know you were an angel at first."

After a moment of silence, Renette Tinicole disappeared from the spot. After confirming that there was nothing else in the room, Alice breathed a sigh of relief and fell back on the bed.

"The social smile of the nobles is sometimes quite useful..." Alice muttered to herself and fell into a deep sleep.

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Tarot Club will arrive as scheduled.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"

"Justice," Audrey greeted cheerfully, and Alice blinked twice in her seat, finally remembering what she had forgotten.

——The news that “Iron Knight tastes really good” hasn’t spread yet!
I should sell a little more before I get caught and sent to class… Alice nodded with satisfaction and listened to Audrey finish her greeting.

The content of this Tarot Club seemed unremarkable. No one obtained a new Roselle diary, and no one proposed a new deal. Only Alice raised her hand and asked:
"Have you heard of the Shadow of Doom and the Raven Snake?
"Well, it would be better if there were traces, but what I need to know now is what this thing is..."

The demigod-level monster seemed to be temporarily beyond the Tarot Club's capabilities. Everyone looked at each other, and only the "Hermit" Cattleya said:
“I know a little bit, but it’s probably not complete.

"The body of the Doom Shadow is made of bottomless black mist that can penetrate walls and obstacles, and cannot be harmed by physical attacks.

“The Raven Shadow Snake is a winged snake. It is said that this creature has the power to directly attack a person’s spirit, causing them to become confused and even have certain hallucinations.

"These are probably not complete information. The only thing I can be sure of is that these two monsters are extremely powerful and strange, and their combined strength is close to that of a demigod."

It’s not complete, but at least I know more… Alice exhaled and smiled at Cattleya:
"Thank you for your information, Ms. Hermit."

After a pause, she thought of the blood of the mythical creatures again and asked hesitantly:

"Ms. Hermit, do you have a container for the blood of mythical creatures?"

Cattleya nodded, and then added:
"Ms. Destiny, you don't have to worry. I'm afraid I can't fulfill your request for the time being..."

She didn't say anything else, but Alice held her forehead and understood what she meant - no one would believe such a preaching without anything, right?
but……

Alice lowered her eyes and smiled:
"There is one thing that might help a little."

She leaned back leisurely, her eyes passed over everyone, and finally landed on Cattleya, and said as if singing:

"Although the Saint-Furian will encounter a shipwreck during this voyage and eventually sink, the people on board will be lucky to be rescued.

"No lives will be lost, no families will be torn apart - everyone will be safe."

As she spoke, Alice's eyes swept over the members of the Tarot Club one by one. "Justice" Audrey, "Magician" Foersi, and "Moon" Emlyn all looked a little confused, and "Sun" Derrick was even more confused.

However, the expressions of "The Hanged Man" Alger and "The Hermit" Cattleya were clearly moved, and Alger even said:

"I met a tourist from the Saint-François... He had been floating on the sea for an unknown amount of time, holding onto a piece of wood, and nothing had happened.

"This matter has something to do with you?" (End of this chapter)
