Mystery: Lucky

“?”

This is the common feeling of Amon and Alice. Yes, it is not uncommon for a time angel to have a female body, but drawing this...

It seems that this is not the case at all!

Even if he cannot understand human behavior, Amon can feel from Alice's thoughts that this is not a good thing.

When Alice commented that "Amon as a girl is quite cute", the time angel finally confirmed that this behavior is absolutely blasphemous! Absolutely!

In the strange silence, Alice finally recalled her situation.

She carefully observed the expression of the time angel, but unfortunately the time angel was expressionless, and she could not see anything.

…Hey, the expressionless face of the time angel is strange, right?

“That...can I explain?” Alice raised a hand weakly.

Amon still looked at Alice expressionlessly.

Alice began to try to organize her words:

“Sometimes, when we like a...a person very much...uh, anyway, you can understand it.

“At this time, we will start to create this...the image of this person in different situations.

"For example, an animal image... For example, you can be drawn as a cute girl..."

"For example, I can draw you together with others..." Amon tried to find a suitable word.

"Book." Alice reminded her considerately.

"?" Amon glanced at Alice and commented again, "You are really suitable to be a 'provocateur'."

"...Is this your way of praising people?" Alice asked thoughtfully.

"..." Amon stared at Alice for a while, then suddenly laughed out loud, shaking his head and said, "To be honest, if I hadn't seen those things, I would actually like to invite you to become my favorite."

"Huh?" Alice blinked.

"You are really interesting." Amon said with a smile.

"Why can't I do that after seeing those things?" Alice asked in confusion.

"...I am worried that one day those paintings will be taken as real." Amon looked at Alice and said with a smile.

Alice thought about it carefully and asked, "I know that the gender-swapped version must be problematic, but I'm actually very curious... Do you really like men?"

Amon's smile disappeared.

"I really want to give you a bottle of 'Provocateur' potion," Amon said coldly, "Why don't you ask the other protagonist in the painting?"

"I don't dare." Alice answered frankly.

"..." Amon pondered for a moment, "Do I look better tempered than the Fool?"

"But he hasn't seen those paintings yet..." Alice answered hesitantly.

"So, the Fool is a man named Klein?" Amon asked with a smile.

Alice's smile also disappeared.

She looked at Amon, and they were silent for a while. After a while, Alice asked, "So you admit that you like men?"

"... I take back what I said just now," Amon looked at Alice and said, "It's better not to show your fun to me."

Alice tilted her head and continued to ask, "So you..."

"Shut up," Amon interrupted Alice, "Now, go back to sleep."

Alice then obediently went back to sleep. They didn't say a word all the way until Alice was about to take a bath, when she suddenly realized something.

"That... Mr. Shi Angel," Alice asked thoughtfully, "Do you have the image of a girl?"

"?" Amon couldn't help but think of the painting.

"Uh... I don't mean that," Alice explained, "It's just... I want to take a bath. Although you may not have gender as a natural mythical creature... But it would be awkward to have a man watching me while taking a bath!"

"What does it have to do with me?" Amon asked back.

"...Do you want me to treat you as a gay?" Alice asked blankly.

Amon was silent for a moment and disappeared from the spot.

It was not until she lay on the bed that Alice switched her mental activities to Chinese and continued to think.

Alice didn't believe that Amon was really so good-tempered and didn't mind her repeated provocations.

It was probably true that he thought she was interesting, but Amon... must have a reason not to kill her.

Did he not dare to kill? Or did he want to get something from her?

If he didn't dare to kill, why didn't he dare to kill? Well, okay, the answer seems quite obvious.

If he wanted to get something from her...

The answer is in her memory?

Also, as the god of fraud and mischief, could the result she inferred be a deliberate misleading by the other party, and actually a fraud by the other party?

Just like guiding her to relax her vigilance at the beginning.

... Come to think of it, the previous things were not intentional by the other party, right?

Well, why does it sound a bit like nesting dolls...

Alice decided to give up the idea of ​​nesting dolls and go to sleep first.

After a dreamless night, Alice got up the next morning with sleepy eyes, washed up, and rubbed her eyes as she went to the living room. She found the angel sitting on the sofa.

She stopped, and at the same time, Amon turned around with one hand on the back of the sofa, and shook the potion bottle in his hand with the other hand.

He smiled at Alice's puzzled eyes and said, "Look, the potion of the 'provocateur'."

"?" Alice's eyes widened, "Where did you get it from?"

"I stole it." Amon threw the potion carelessly.

Alice looked at Amon and suddenly thought of a question: "Hey... In the potion knowledge of the 'thief', will there be a way to pick locks?"

"Yes," Amon looked at Alice who was gradually approaching with interest, "Why, do you want to learn?"

"No, I want to ask..." Alice stopped and asked hesitantly, "I have seen people pick locks with hair before, can you? Can you let me see?"

"?" Amon frowned and asked in confusion, "I am curious... What do you think of me?"

Alice closed her mouth, quietly ate a piece of black bread, drank a glass of milk for breakfast, and then went out to the church.

"Wait," Amon stopped Alice after she walked for a few minutes, "Where are you going?"

"Go, go to pray?" At this time, Alice had not realized what was wrong.

Amon pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you think I should let you go to church?"

Alice stopped and finally reacted, "Ah... But why didn't you stop me when I left?"

"Because I think you're right, it's a bit easy and boring for me to know everything you think," Amon said with a smile, "Guess whether this is true or false?"
