Mystery: Lucky One

This success made Ian obviously surprised.

She's actually... apologizing?

Alice didn't care what Ian was thinking. After all...it wasn't like she was really sorry.

I've already said thank you, so it's no trouble to say sorry... Alice stroked her chin and couldn't wait to get the topic back on track:

"Then... pray to me."

"Pray...?" Ian felt like a string in his brain was completely broken.

"Yeah," Alice tilted her head, "Pray to me. What's wrong?"

Ian didn't say anything. He just stared at Alice blankly, recalling the miraculous scene just now.

This...is this an evil god?

Ian came to the conclusion with his simple knowledge, and while he was still in a daze, a hand waved twice in front of him.

"Are you stupid?" the girl opposite asked curiously.

Yes, the girl - she looks, speaks and acts like a child.

"Bang!" Alice gave up waiting for him to come to his senses and reached out and slapped the table hard to draw his attention back.

"Do you speak ancient Hermetic?" Alice asked, looking at him.

Ian shook his head, so Alice continued, "Okay, then just repeat after me, um..."

She taught Ian the pronunciation of the ancient Hermetic language of the honorific name word by word, then jumped up from the chair and said:
"Don't forget, if you are in real danger, you can use that honorific name to call me for help - although I may not necessarily respond to you."

After that, she turned around and prepared to leave without waiting for Ian to speak.

"Wait a minute," Ian suddenly summoned her courageously, "Your honorific name...what does that honorific name mean?"

"Huh?" Alice turned around in surprise and glanced at Ian.

This was not a secret, she was just too lazy to tell it, but since Ian asked, she did not intend to hide it, but Alice opened her mouth and stopped again, she found it was really awkward to talk like this, she silently turned her body around and said:

"Eternally innocent child,

"The embodiment of luck and miracle,
"The Origin of Disaster and Chaos."

After a pause, she asked, "Any other questions?"

Ian shook his head.

He immediately associated the first description with Alice herself, and combined with his own experience, he understood most of the next two descriptions.

Of course, if Alice knew what he was thinking, she would probably come up with a phrase that would be particularly appropriate here.

“Good fortunes lie in the shadow of misfortunes, and misfortunes lie in the shadow of good fortunes.”

Good fortune and bad luck never exist in isolation.

But Alice didn't know, so she just touched her chin and finally reminded: "Then... remember to help me sell the diary?"

Ian nodded.

"Bye then~" Alice waved to Ian and left without looking back.

After she closed the door, Ian collapsed in the chair and slid down weakly.

……

When Alice looked around, she realized she was on a small boat.

In front of her was a neat and tidy sailing ship that was several dozen meters long. The main gun symbols facing her were stacked and the light was flowing. After a brief stagnation, Alice's body reacted faster than her brain - she raised her hands.

Klein pressed down her hand and reminded her in the face of her confusion, "That should be the 'Golden Dream'..."

Alice silently withdrew her hands in a gesture of surrender.

It didn't take long for them to be transferred to the "Golden Dream". Before Alice had time to get excited, she saw her future teacher and was taken into the captain's room.

"Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina has an oval face, a high nose bridge, thin lips, long brown hair parted in the middle and tied up behind her head, and blue eyes as clear as spring water.

Alice had to admit that Edwina was indeed more like a teacher than a pirate, both in terms of temperament and dress.

White shirt, dark suit jacket, knee-length skirt, leather shoes... This is a very modern style outfit.

Alice knew that this type of clothing originated from Intis and was the work of Emperor Roselle. Now, looking at Edwina's clothes and her own loose school uniform, she couldn't help but start thinking about a question.

Why didn’t Emperor Roselle “invent” school uniforms as well?

"Maybe it's because I can't see the girl's figure clearly..." She murmured after staring at Edwina's knee-length skirt for a few seconds.

Apparently, no one understood what she was saying. Edwina just glanced at her and asked Gehrman Sparrow, "Is this the child you mentioned before?"

Klein nodded.

Alice raised her head and looked at Edwina, who also turned to Alice and asked her:
"What's your name? How old are you? Have you been to school before? Why don't you continue studying?"

Alice wanted to cover her face with her hands, but after looking at Edwina, she gave up and looked up at the sky and replied:
“My name is Alice, Alice Kingsley.

"This year... This year is 1350. This body's birthday has already passed, so I should be 16 years old now...

"School... I went before, but what I learned before is not suitable for now... Now, I don't continue to go because of... physical reasons. Well, it was not convenient before because of physical reasons."

Some of the words in this passage were quite strange. Edwina frowned as she listened. Before she could ask a question, Alice looked around, raised her hand and asked:

“Well, I have a question.

"How is he going to get back?"

She pointed at Klein.

……

After Alice sent Klein away and came back, Edwina looked at Alice and asked with a frown:
"Are you a Beyonder?"

Alice nodded.

Edwina thought for a moment, then asked, "Middle sequence?"

Alice shook her head.

Edwina frowned even more tightly, and she repeated her previous words to Alice:
"This body's birthday has already passed this year?"

Alice swallowed nervously, her eyes flickering.

...So the reason why Edwina agreed so easily was because Klein never mentioned her true situation!

Does this count as concealing a serious mental illness to enter school... No, I'm not sick, I'm clearly normal!
Without low-sequence abilities, this wouldn’t happen. And the way she spoke… Edwina looked at Alice, whose eyes were wandering, and asked with a frown:
"Are you... a saint?"

In the end, she still didn't dare to guess at a higher angel, but Alice's words broke her fantasy:

"Well, this is the question...

"In a sense, you can think of me as...

"I accidentally swallowed a Level 0 Sealed Item." (End of this chapter)
