Mystery: Lucky One

"..." Although Edwina didn't say a word, Alice still felt a strong sense of doubt from her eyes.

Alice lowered her head silently.

Edwina stared at her for more than ten seconds before retracting her gaze and said slowly:
"If you're telling the truth, then compared to the outcomes of similar situations that I know of... your situation is simply abnormally good."

Alice was silent for a while, remembering that the goddess said she claimed to have fished out the Key of Light from the long river of fate.

…She always felt that she might have “accidentally” “swallowed” the Essence.

No, it is also possible that the Key of Light came to the door on its own... Never mind, it's almost the same.

"Alice," Edwina said as she walked towards the door, "You can first get familiar with the 'Golden Dream' and get to know the other people... Um, I heard that you know Danitz?"

Alice nodded subconsciously, then remembered that Edwina was facing away from her, so she said, "Yes..."

After hesitating for a moment, Alice swallowed back her words, thinking that Danitz might not want to see her.

"You can ask him to introduce you to the others." Edwina said this and opened the door of the captain's room.

This was a disaster. There were five or six people at the door pushing each other back. When they saw them coming out, a burnt yellow head was pushed to the front.

"Hi, ship, Captain." He stopped, looked up and greeted.

Hey, it's that "provocateur" who only knows how to jump up and down... Alice's beautiful blue eyes quickly turned around, and then she showed a shy smile and shouted timidly:

"Danis... can you take me around the Golden Dream?"

As she spoke, in order to fit in with her character, she shrank her body away from the crowd.

Danitz's eyes widened in horror.

Compared to the other crew members who knew nothing about Alice, Danitz, who had met Alice once, obviously fully realized how bad Alice's character was - just like now.

Feeling the sharpening gazes, Danitz's mind suddenly flashed... If translated, it should be two words and six dots: It's over...

He looked at Edwina eagerly, but discovered a fact that made him not sure whether to be happy or sad - oh, my God, his captain had returned to the captain's room and closed the door.

Alice, who didn't get a response, was definitely not willing to let him go so easily. She walked over in small steps, pulled Danitz's sleeve without hesitation, and asked with her head half raised:
"No, can't I?
"You, it's okay if you have something to do, I can walk by myself..."

This action successfully allowed Danitz to feel the blade that fell on him and solidified into something real. He finally couldn't help but shake off Alice's hand and shouted angrily:

“There’s something wrong with you!

"You were obviously not like this when you were in front of Gehrman Sparrow!"

Alice didn't try to grab it back, or rather, she didn't plan to continue acting. She took two steps back to distance herself from him, looked at Danitz, and began to think about what Klein would do in this situation.

He might not be much better than Danitz, at most he would just look a little calmer... No, not necessarily. Maybe sometimes he's in a good mood and will accompany me to finish the performance...

Alice suddenly missed Klein, whom she had just parted with, but this feeling did not last long. After all, as a playmate, Amon was obviously more... Damn it, I would never do such a thing to Amon!

Alice, who had failed at the meal replacement, took two steps back in horror.

This made Danitz start to lose confidence. He had to start thinking about what virtue and ability he had to make Alice react like this. Alice looked him up and down carefully and came to the correct conclusion that the "provocateur" was not as good as Amon.

No, maybe I need the "Iron Knight"... Well, that may not be enough. I wonder if there is an Angel King on this path? If there is, maybe he can fight against Amon...

Danitz was not the only one who felt that something was wrong. They all made faces behind Danitz, but no one spoke first.

Alice glanced at the pirates thoughtfully, then looked back towards the captain's cabin and suddenly asked:

"Did you install surveillance on your ship before?"

"What do you mean?" Danitz was obviously stunned for a moment, not understanding Alice's words.

"Hmm...what I mean is..." Alice tried to organize her words, "Does your captain secretly watch what you guys are doing in the captain's room before?"

The pirates' expressions became visibly terrified, but Alice found that the feeling of being monitored was gone at once.

Ah this.

"Well, it seems that she is still different from the homeroom teacher..." Alice looked back in the direction of the captain's room again, "Well, anyway, she is not watching now."

After a pause, she looked at Danitz and asked again: "Can you take me around the ship? And..."

Her eyes fell on each person behind Danitz one by one, and then she said with a smile: "I don't know you all yet."

After saying that, she seemed to have remembered something and asked Danitz:
"Oh yes, you know my name is Alice, right?
"I remember Hermann probably called my name in front of you...

"5500 pounds."

Danitz clearly saw Alice lick her lips when she said the last sentence.

He suddenly had a good idea, and his attitude towards Alice became visibly enthusiastic. He smiled at Alice kindly and said:
"Let me introduce you to the others.

"Who is this……"

Danitz led a man who was about 1.8 meters tall and wearing a monocle and had been standing at the back to the front, successfully making Alice take a half step back in fear. She crossed her hands in front of her chest and stared at the two of them warily.

This made both of them hesitate.

"...Are you okay?" the man wearing a monocle asked after hesitating for a moment.

Alice was silent for a moment, then she took out the monocle given by Amon from her pocket, put it on her right eye, pushed it a little, and then said:

"I have a psychological shadow on people who wear monocles, especially those who wear a monocle on the right eye."

"Ah?" The man wearing the monocle looked at Danitz in confusion, his eyes seemed to say "there is such a thing".

"I don't know." Danitz defended himself.

“It’s okay,” Alice took off her glasses silently, “I don’t think you can be the same as Him anyway…haha.”

He... ?
This pronoun startled everyone, and they all looked at Danitz, who was most likely to know the truth. (End of this chapter)
