Mystery: Lucky One

After Alice lay there for nearly three hours, she felt that Amon would not come to see her.

It looks like he has no intention of paying back the money... Well, let's just assume that He agreed!
Alice happily made the decision for Amon and returned to the Golden Dream.

It was almost eight o'clock in the morning and the sun had risen. It was time for breakfast. Alice pretended that she had just woken up and skipped to the restaurant to have breakfast.

The pirates on holidays finally recreated the scene in Alice's memory - who is the good guy who not only gets up early but also eats in the cafeteria obediently on holiday!

Yes, Alice was the only one in the whole restaurant, and there was no one to cook.

After two seconds of silence, Alice quietly stepped out and began to think about what she should do.

After staring in the direction of the captain's room in awe for more than ten seconds, Alice suddenly remembered what Danitz said last night.

If she was really that conspicuous in Bayam, there wouldn't be any strange rumors about her and Klein out there...

After all, Olavy was just next door to Bayam. If she remembered correctly, the Sweet Lemon Bar was the most famous gathering place for adventurers in Olavy...

Alice suddenly felt a strong sense of worry.

...Luckily, Klein was a volunteer and didn't know about this, haha.

Alice covered her face with her hands, and after a dozen seconds, she decided to find out the extent and scope of the rumor.

She still concealed her existence, and after a little thought, she realized that she knew nothing about Bayam’s tavern.

…See where Danitz and the others went.

"Black Forest Bar..." Alice read the name while standing at the door of the tavern, then walked in cautiously.

Alice originally wanted to secretly find the location of Danitz and the others. In the divination screen, Danitz was with “Flower Tie” Johnson, “Gourmet” Blue Walls, “Singer” Orpheus, and “Bucket” Daniels.

Before Alice had the chance to look around the tavern, she heard Danitz's particularly flamboyant voice:

"Don't be fooled by her face! She is the lover of that madman Gehrman Sparrow!"

Alice gritted her teeth and looked in the direction of the sound.

Those people sat together as the divination results showed. Johnson and Blue Walls seemed to be still sober, Orpheus and Daniels looked a little tipsy, and Danitz... seemed to have been drunk.

It seems that alcohol attacks are still effective against mid- and low-sequence Beyonders... Alice shook her head and approached silently.

She placed her hands on Danitz's shoulders from behind, canceled her own hidden state, and used "Restart" to make Danitz slightly tipsy. After looking around, she looked at Danitz who turned his head, smiled and leaned over to ask:

"Are you awake?"

Alice only managed to regain some of his sanity from the alcohol. Danitz still felt that his head was like a ball of paste and his body was light and fluttery. When Alice's voice reached his ears, he nodded slowly.

"You're awake~" Alice raised her voice, retracted the hand she had extended, and put it behind her back together with the other hand.

She pinched her left wrist with her right hand behind her back. At the same time, a chandelier in the tavern crashed down. Amid the people's terrified screams, the flying debris seemed to consciously avoid everyone except Danitz. That was not all. The remaining chair of Danitz had finally reached the end of its lifespan and fell apart. Without support, Danitz fell to the ground. However, a wooden stick happened to be standing there, and Danitz fell directly on it.

At the same time, the wine glass in his hand slipped to the ground, and the fragments and wine splashed everywhere, and a lot of it splashed on him - perhaps this was just an appetizer.

The fallen chandelier happened to be not far from Danitz's side, and most of the flying fragments flew towards his face. Under the influence of alcohol, facing this series of changes, Danitz finally had no time to close his eyes.

"Ah——!" He let out a sharp scream.

Alice frowned and covered her ears. The fragments that were fixed on Danitz's face and body, as well as the fragments that were falling down, seemed to be controlled by an invisible force. They returned to their original trajectory, pieced together into a complete chandelier, and hung back on the roof.

The wine glass and the chair also returned to their original state. Danitz seemed to be lifted up by an invisible force and sat back on the chair without any wounds on his body.

It was as if nothing had happened.

"That chandelier," Alice pointed to the chandelier closest to the dance floor in the dead silence, "It's about to fall down... Remember to fix it."

"Okay, okay." Someone at the front desk nodded subconsciously.

Alice then turned her head and gave Danitz a friendly smile, which successfully made Danitz shudder.

She tilted her head and looked around, then ran to the next table. In the frightened eyes of the people at the next table, she gave them an apologetic smile, and then moved the empty chair away.

She sat down next to Danitz holding the chair, turned her head and said with a smile:

"Keep talking."

Danitz swallowed hard twice.

Alice maintained her harmless smile and said:

"You don't think that what happened just now has anything to do with me, do you? It was just your bad luck. I helped you out of kindness. You should thank me and then reflect on how you made our great Miss Destiny unhappy."

Alice's focus was not on other people. The guests who were briefly frightened quickly recovered and whispered to the people around them with lingering fear, while remembering to listen to their conversation attentively.

"We have upset the great Miss Destiny... Hey, do you remember the prophecy from the ticketing company, the one about the Saint-Fran?" one person asked his companion in a low voice.

"I remember, I remember," his companion also whispered in agreement, "That ritual-like scene left a deep impression on me. That 'Wheel of Fortune' card, hey, what basis did she have to say that the owner of the prophecy was a girl?"

"She may not be talking about that..." another person at the table reminded quietly, "It may just be a metaphor, like the goddess of luck we talk about..."

Alice, who wanted to hear her own gossip but heard something else instead, silently withdrew her attention, glanced at Danitz, then blinked and said:

"You'd better think it over carefully. After all... the next thing that falls might be a meteorite."

Before Danitz could speak, Alice looked up at the ceiling and muttered to herself:

"Forget it. Considering the shoddy construction of this bar, I might as well just let the ceiling collapse instead of wasting the effort..." (End of this chapter)
