Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 846 An unexpected development?
After understanding the historical origins of the Whitethorn Flower Gustaf Family and the Loser Forest, it is not difficult to understand why Blue Boots Blaze is hostile to Linger and others. But on the other hand, they can also be regarded as innocent because who would have thought that such a large forest was actually the private land of the Gustaf Family.

Xinuo took the initiative to apologize and gave them a way out. Lingge naturally walked down the stairs and said that although it was wrong for Blue Boots to play tricks on people, we who came uninvited were also wrong. In this case, why not just pretend that nothing happened? In this way, everyone can still get along in a friendly manner and treat it as making new friends.

Of course, Lingge couldn't speak so directly. The above were the results obtained by Alice after translating his words in her mind. She felt that it was pretty close. If not completely correct, it should be at least correct.

Shino accepted the offer with a smile.

Blue Boots Blaze still looked a little dissatisfied, but because it was Shino's decision, he did not object, and said that he would convey this decision to other aliens in the forest and tell them that they did not need to attack these outsiders. It seemed that Shino enjoyed a high reputation among the aliens in the Forest of Loser. It was unknown whether it was the girl's personal charm or the oath between the Gustaf family and the aliens was still in effect.

In short, after the cause and effect were explained clearly, the misunderstanding between the two sides was eliminated. Alice couldn't help feeling a little ashamed when she thought about how she had just sneered at the host. Compared to the teasing behavior of Blue Boots, which could only be condemned morally, the crime of trespassing on private land could really be found in the laws of the Republic. Although Shino didn't look like that kind of person, what if she got angrier and angrier and couldn't help but report Alice? Wouldn't that genius player be transformed into a beautiful girl who went to jail at such a young age?
We must not let this happen!

With an unprecedented awareness, Alice did something that no one expected: she apologized.

"Well, I'm sorry. I said something very harsh to you just now." The genius player scratched the back of his head and apologized hesitantly, but immediately tried to make amends for himself. Even at this time, he was still talking nonsense: "But you can't blame me entirely. The main reason is that I have another evil and willful secondary personality named Bai Ye. She was the one who controlled my body just now. I have tried very hard to stop her from saying those words, but she just couldn't get angry and had to say it out. I had no choice. Now she knows she is wrong, but she doesn't dare to come out and face you, so I have to apologize to you. Alas, I can only say that Bai Ye is 99.9% responsible for this matter. Although I didn't do anything, because I was her main personality and didn't manage her well, I will take 0.1% of the responsibility. You must understand me, Xino!"

She spoke so earnestly and as if it were true that even she almost believed it.

Gloria: “…”

She suspected that Xino was mocking her, but she had no evidence. What's more, when the girl said this, her expression and tone were very sincere. Based on this, Alice could only try to think positively and believe that she really cared about her. After all, communication between people should always be kind, right?
She smiled awkwardly. "That's not necessary. Actually, I get along pretty well with my secondary personality. I'd be a little sad if she suddenly disappeared. Oh, by the way, let's not talk about that for now. Just return those cassettes to me first!"

"Gaoh..." Blazer, who had just been scolded, shouted weakly, then turned around to pick up the cassettes scattered in the bushes and fallen leaves. His movements were slow and it was obvious that he was not very willing.

"Pfft!"

No, no, that's not important! What's important is that Alice apologized!

Shino turned his head to look at the blue boots under the tree and shouted, "Blazer, return the guest's things to her quickly, and don't do this again next time."

She looked at Alice silently: "It's okay, Miss Alice, I don't take it to heart, so you don't have to blame yourself too much. You said you have a split personality, this disease is very rare and very serious. If you ignore it, it may affect your life in the future. I suggest you get treatment. If you can't find a good doctor, maybe I can help. The Gustaf family has some connections in White City."

In the mysterious world, this is a very scientific thing; in the scientific world, this is a very mysterious thing. To sum it up, it is the end of the world.

Now even Alice is "..."

other people:"……"

Alice sneaked into the kitchen in the middle of the night to eat snacks and desserts, and when washing her face, she clearly didn't wash the food residue from the corners of her mouth, but she still swore that she didn't eat anything, and she was unshakable in the face of the death stare of the boss lady; when playing games with Ieta, she read the diary of Miss Angel aloud in order to get her turn earlier, causing the latter to die instantly due to shame, and after doing such a despicable thing, she shamelessly said "But I won't apologize"; after luring Olvera out of the room with the excuse that "the violets you planted have finally bloomed", she added 30,000 words of meaningless plot "Alice and the Predator and Optimus Prime sworn brotherhood in Peach Garden and fought against the precious alliance composed of Voldemort, Fenrir Wolf and the Joker" to the manuscript of her painstakingly written novel, and later shouted to the furious Princess Berman "It's not me who is wrong, but the world"... Alice actually apologized! ?

For a moment, everyone looked at Xino with strange eyes. Olvera even threw away the royal etiquette she had learned and looked the girl up and down carefully, wanting to know how she had made Alice surrender, and whether she could learn it. After that, she would make Alice apologize to her at the frequency of three meals a day.

Olvera couldn't help laughing out loud, her eyes curved. Gloria heard a disdainful and sneer in her mind, and Shemi covered her mouth to hold back her laughter. If it wasn't inappropriate in front of the host, she would have burst into laughter.

Not to mention how stupid this excuse is, no normal person would believe it. Why did you call Xino's name so affectionately, as if you two knew each other very well? It was obviously the first time you met, right?

Not only is it impolite, it is also very dangerous. If there really were some malicious intruders breaking into the forest, could they be driven away by such a prank?
Xino sighed silently in his heart, thinking that he had protected them too well, which made them unaware of the dangers of the outside world and not know that they should be cautious and keep a distance when encountering strangers instead of approaching them.

A certain evil and willful secondary personality: "..."

You are sick and need treatment.

Linger nodded imperceptibly: the genius player finally remembered his cartridge. He thought this guy would just forget it because she always looked like she had amnesia.

Now it was Xino's turn: "..."

Alice didn't care. She even gloated over it. She just stood there and watched Blaze work, like a supervisor. Although the misunderstanding was resolved, the genius player still felt a little upset, but it was no longer because Blaze teased her, but because she realized that she was not welcome by the little animals. Otherwise, with so many people present, why did Blue Boots only tease her and ignore others? Could it be that he saw through Alice's nature and felt a kindred spirit from her?

Children who love to tell the truth will always be punished.

Seeing Blazer's passive attitude, Xino couldn't help but frown, but he couldn't say anything in front of the guests, so he walked forward and said, "Let me help too." "Oh, how can I say that?" Before Blazer responded, Alice said hypocritically, "You are the heir of the Gustaf family. How can I trouble you to do such a trivial thing? Let me do it."

A flattering fellow.

Everyone looked at her with contempt, and knew that she was just talking and was actually too lazy to move. Didn't they notice that her feet were still rooted in the same place, more firmly than the century-old oak tree next to her?

"Haha, it's okay. I'm used to it." Xino smiled, then seemed to remember something and asked curiously, "Come to think of it, I still don't know how you got into the Forest of Loser. Blaze said that you flew down from the sky on a big whale, but I didn't see any whale when I went up the mountain just now."

Alice immediately complained: "That means it's lying to you!"

"Gaoh, gah!" Blaze jumped up and bared his teeth and claws at Alice, as if he was ready to fight to the death with her.

Shino shook his head slightly: "Although Blaze is a little naughty, he won't lie to me."

Alice felt a little regretful that her attempt to sow discord had failed. She looked at Linger and saw him nod. Then she said to Xino, "Yes, we flew down on a whale. We just used some special methods to make it less noticeable."

Hearing this, Xinuo glanced at Xie Mi and said, "I understand. This is the legendary fairy magic, right? It is said that only traveling fairies can master this magic. It is indeed magical."

"Uh." Alice was embarrassed. She wanted to say you guessed wrong, but in fact, it was a good thing for Xino to guess like this. After all, it was impossible to reveal Gloria's identity and ability. However, deceiving such a gentle and kind girl made her feel anxious and ashamed. She quickly changed the subject: "Ha, ha, you can think so. By the way, do you want to go to Yunjing Sky Island with us later? I tell you, Sky Island is fun. There is the Fairy Sleeping Inn, the Herb Garden, the Tianxin Church, Iyetta's flower fields and windmills, and Rolena's alchemy workshop. If you don't like these, you can come and play games with me!"

She enthusiastically recruited tourists like a tour guide, with a little selfish motive: the misunderstanding of being teased by Blue Boots was resolved, but the incident of them trespassing on private land was not over yet. Since the Loser Forest was the back garden of the Gustaf family, then theoretically the Emerald Lake was also the property of Xino. As long as she shook her head, the travelers would have to leave here in disgrace and find another place to stay. But in the entire Saint-Denis Province, apart from the Loser Forest, where else is close to the city of Sumiya and suitable for hiding? In addition, the Gustaf family has always had a tradition of protecting aliens. The huge Loser Forest is directly a shelter they built to protect aliens. Isn't it a coincidence that there are many aliens on the Cloud Whale Sky Island, and there are many beautiful girls among these aliens.

Are beautiful girls not as good as a stinky cat?

That's why Alice had to find a way to please the masters so that they could stay here with a legitimate reason and leave after finding the last girl king.

Linger saw through the idea of ​​the golden-haired maid at a glance. After all, it was not very clever, and even a little blatant. But considering that she rarely thought about the team, her attitude was a little flattering but barely used in the right place, so he did not expose her.

Xinuo didn't notice it. She just felt that Alice's attitude was a little too enthusiastic. Was she still feeling guilty about the misunderstanding just now? The girl thought for a moment and replied, "In that case, I'm afraid I'll have to bother you again later. I hope I won't disrupt your plans."

In fact, even if Alice didn't invite her, she would have found an excuse to visit. After all, a group of people of unknown origin suddenly appeared in her back garden. Even if she was sure that they were not bad people, she should at least find out their background and ask about their identities, right? Alice's invitation gave Xinuo a legitimate reason.

“No trouble, no trouble.” Alice waved her hands repeatedly and said with a chuckle, “We don’t have anything to do anyway, and we’re just bored!”

Who are the idle people?

Everyone looked at her with contempt, but the golden-haired maid was completely unaware. She was secretly planning what game to play with Shino later. Considering that she was a beginner, she might as well choose a simpler cassette, such as "First Fantasy: Four Heroes", and then use her superb gaming skills to impress her, so that the heir of the Whitethorn Flower family would admire and worship her from now on, not to mention letting her run rampant in the back garden, and even offering gold, silver and jewelry with both hands. An ancient family that has been passed down from the Kingdom Age to the present should have a lot of money. Of course, she would not eat charity, but if the other party insisted on donating to the Gransay Air Cavalry or the Adventurer's Guild, then there would be nothing she could do, hehehehe...

Lingge thought he had seen through the golden-haired maid's thoughts, but in fact, it was not complete. Maybe it was because he felt that no matter how low a person's moral standards were, they could not be so low, right?
"Is this the last, uh, cassette?"

Xino leaned forward slightly and watched Blaze find a long object with a silvery-white metallic glow from the bushes. She blinked curiously. Although she had touched it many times, she still couldn't guess what material this thing called a cassette was made of, and what its function was. Could it be a decoration? But would any girl really like this square style and metal-like material?
Blazer didn't understand, and he didn't want to understand. After all, it was just a blue boot. Why bother thinking about such complicated things? It made a click and handed the last cassette to Shino. The girl took it and was about to put it back into the cassette box. At this time, the game console that Alice still hung on her waist suddenly buzzed, and a series of faint blue lights appeared on the surface of the silver-white cube, accompanied by a cold, mechanical female voice -

[Confirm: Data Is Being Entering]

The ID Verification Was Passed

New Cassette Is Activating

……

The forest suddenly fell into a strange silence.

After a long time, a shout mixed with astonishment, hesitation, confusion and disbelief was heard: "Huh!?"

　Give me some meow
