Mystery: Lucky One

She didn't speak for too long. Klein stared at her for two seconds, and confirmed that she was distracted again. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand in front of her, waved twice, and shouted:

"Alice?"

"Ah," Alice came back to her senses, "I was... uh, where were we just now?"

After two seconds of silence, Klein asked in a strange tone:

"Are all Beyonders on the Path of Destiny so prone to distraction?"

“Maybe…” Alice’s tone was a little hesitant. “Maybe? How strange! I haven’t seen many people with the same path… Well, it may also be that I haven’t paid much attention to the low- and medium-sequence paths.”

This is obviously possible. Although the influence of Beyonder characteristics aggregation on high-sequence is more obvious, but... the top of the three "fate" pathways are all in Backlund, and it is estimated that there are also many low- and medium-sequence ones.

Unfortunately, Alice is not Amon, and has no interest in consuming low- and medium-sequence Beyonder characteristics.

Klein accepted Alice's statement. He shook his head and repeated his previous words:
"Alice, next time before you make a decision, remember to think about whether you can end it... okay?"

Alice paused slightly.

She really seldom thought about the consequences. After all, although she couldn't be said to be indifferent to other people, her concern for them was only beyond the level of courtesy.

Alice's biggest worry was just to make Klein angry - so she didn't say what she really thought, but nodded and agreed to it seriously.

She should really think about what kind of troubles Klein would not be too angry about...

For example, when Admiral Amyrius's pants fell off, Klein was the type who was a little angry but not really angry, because he cared a little but not that much. After all, the reputation in question was not his own...

Alice blinked, realizing that she could probably tell this kind of thing by how much Klein cared.

Alice's attitude was still quite serious, but as for other things, Klein no longer cared why she was so serious - it was better to leave such matters to professional teachers.

In short, Klein decided to end this topic and continue to be Alice's mother after she left the gray fog... No, continue to be Alice's father... That's not right either, and continue to think of a new name for Alice.

After all, we can't really let her live her life under the name given by Will Auceptin. In this case, why don't we be decisive and let Amon make up a name next time.

This saves you from having to wonder all day whether there is something wrong with your name.

Alice...Alice is distracted again.

After she made a quick decision, she began to think about how to tell Mr. Fool that Arrodes had peeked at him taking a bath.

In fact, Alice understood that Arrodes probably didn't do this on purpose, and it might just be a coincidence. For example, Arrodes might have seen his great master brushing the toilet sometime...

Klein knew from Alice's expression that she was distracted again. He quietly stood up and used the extraordinary ability of the "Joker" to make himself not make any unnecessary noise. He tiptoed towards Alice, patted her shoulder hard, and asked loudly:

"Alice? What are you thinking about?"

Alice screamed and jumped up from her chair. After realizing it was Klein, she threw herself back onto the chair and kicked the ground.
"I was just distracted, do you have to scare me like that..."

Klein glanced at Alice and warned her, "If it were you, you would probably remove the chair as well..." Alice shut up. After a few seconds, she started to defend herself:
"No, I'll remove the chair when you're ready to sit down."

She paused, licked along the roots of her teeth with her tongue, then revealed a sweet smile and said in a long tone:
"By the way, Mr. Fool, please be careful next time you take a bath~"

“?” Klein shuddered and looked at Alice with a puzzled expression.

Alice gave a mysterious smile and said gently:
"Mr. Fool, you don't want me to go to Arrodes' place and watch the live video of you taking a bath, do you?"

Klein opened his mouth in surprise.

Seeing this, Alice's smile became even gentler and kinder, and her voice was as sweet as honey. She spoke to Klein in a soft tone:
"Mr. Fool, you must be careful when you are alone. Don't do anything that is not worthy of being seen by others."

After staring at Alice's smiling face for two seconds, Klein bent his index finger without hesitation and hit Alice's head hard.

"Eat your ice cream," he said, "unless you want to be famous."

This accurately pinched Alice's soft spot. She lowered her head silently and muttered:
"Just kidding... I won't really watch it... unless I'm 'rebooted' and am a boy... Eh, what's it like to be a man? With a witch..."

Klein reached out and covered Alice's mouth.

Alice blinked doubtfully and looked up at him, and heard the slightly collapsed voice: "Alice, you are not allowed to do that kind of thing, do you hear me!"

Alice blinked, pulled Klein's hand off, and asked, "Why?"

"I'm afraid that one day you'll ask me what it's like to be a 'Faceless Man'," Klein withdrew his hand expressionlessly, "After all, being a witch is just the beginning."

"Ah..." Alice blinked twice in confusion. "Even if I was curious, I would go find another 'Faceless Man'. I know you can't... um!"

Klein covered her mouth with his hand again.

“I think,” Klein looked at Alice with mixed feelings, “you may need to understand what topics are not suitable for discussion for most people.”

——He could see that Alice was really serious about the discussion and really wanted to know what it was like to be a boy.

"But," Alice bit her lip, "you are not like most people. You are..."

She paused, thought for a few seconds, and said firmly:
"You are my biological mother who has been lost for many years and has no blood relationship with me!" Note ①

"Ah?" Klein felt that he couldn't understand what Alice was saying again. He tried hard to think, "No, you didn't 'restart' in my stomach!"

"But," Alice tried to explain her thoughts, "I can't think of anyone other than my parents who would do everything for me like this..."

You know that too... Klein's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but ask, "Then why not Dad?"

Alice touched her chin and said:
"Maybe it's because, in the human impression, mothers are usually the ones who take care of their children..." (End of this chapter)
