Mystery: Lucky

"Okay," Klein shrugged, "Then you can sell it as you like. Do you know a lawyer?"

"No." Alice said frankly.

After a pause, Alice asked again: "If I sell the design drawings, will I see everyone wearing them in Backlund one day..."

Klein fell into deep thought.

"It's good," Klein said with mixed emotions, "It feels like going home."

Alice gasped.

"Remember to remove the school badge." Klein reminded.

"No, I want to keep it," Alice said solemnly, "This way it feels more like home."

Klein was silent for a moment, and imitated Alice's example of expressing his true feelings: "...crazy."

Alice looked at Klein and thought for a moment, remembering the math teacher he had become during the day, and asked hesitantly: "Shall I get one for you too?"

Alice didn't hear Mr. Fool's answer because Mr. Fool cut off her network cable.

"Tsk, if you can't tell me, just cut off the Internet." After silently complaining about Mr. Fool in her heart, Alice curled her lips and lay down to sleep.

…

After entering the ball with the invitation, Alice realized that she might have entered a place she shouldn't have entered.

——It doesn’t look like this is the kind of dance where just anyone can sneak in.

Alice thought for two seconds and decided that this was Viscount Graylingt's problem and none of her business.

Sneaking away a piece of ice cream, Alice searched for the dog named Susie in the corner of the ball.

I hope Miss Justice comes and brings the dog...

So when Viscount Gray Lint found Alice in the corner, she was squatting in front of Susie, holding an opened piece of chocolate and gesticulating at Susie.

Gray Linte looked at this scene hesitantly, recalling Audrey's words in his mind:

"Briel, she...well, she may not be the same as the Extraordinary you think she is.

"Although she is indeed a very powerful Beyonder, her character is a bit...well, have you ever taken care of a child?

"She is a bit like a child. Her thoughts are written on her face most of the time, and it is easy to guess. She is more willful and does not think about the consequences of doing things. She likes to play pranks, but she is still measured in big things... I guess.

"She's easily diverted, and if you accidentally piss her off, like last time... ice cream and novelty things should pique her interest, so what else can you try.

"Besides, her thoughts are rather... well, in short, if she says something weird, just leave it alone!

"Unless she asks."

Alice, who noticed someone staring at her, raised her head in confusion.

She looked down at herself, then at Susie, and asked hesitantly, "Do you want some chocolate too?"

...Is this a strange thing to say?

Gray Linte thought for a while and reminded: "Miss Rose, dogs can't eat chocolate."

"I know." Alice nodded matter-of-factly.

This self-righteous attitude stunned Graylint, and he suddenly regretted coming to see Alice.

...Obviously he just wants to satisfy his curiosity about the mysterious world!

"So, what's the matter with you?" Alice glanced at Susie, gave up the idea of ​​feeding it chocolate, and stood up with her body propped up, "Hey, have you seen Audrey?"

"...Didn't you go find Audrey?" Gray Linte glanced at Susie hesitantly.

"Uh..." Alice's eyes wandered for a moment. After all...of course you have to do bad things secretly!

Gray Lint was lost in thought, and he said thoughtfully; "I will take you there... No, you may not be suitable to go find her now."

Alice blinked twice, tilted her head and asked, "Then do you have anything else to do?"

Graylingt shook his head hesitantly.

"Then what are you still doing here?" Alice asked doubtfully, "Are you waiting for me to silence you?"

Glerint, who was deeply impressed by their first meeting, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back. He understood a little bit why Audrey had repeatedly warned him about Alice - who knew which of her words was a joke?

No, depending on the situation, she might even be joking one second and become serious the next...

Gray Linte quickly made an excuse and left this dangerous scene.

So Alice squatted down again and harassed Susie: "Are you really not going to take a bite of chocolate?"

Susie firmly refused the request.

Alice stared at Susie for a moment, then reached out and rubbed Susie's fur angrily.

Wow, it feels so good, I really want to steal it...

Alice glanced at Susie longingly, then thought about the time, energy, and maybe money it would take to raise a large dog, and regretfully gave up on the idea.

Sure enough, pets raised by others are cuter... Alice sighed sadly and stroked Susie's fur two more times.

I really want to steal a dog...

It wasn't until halfway through the dance that Audrey came and captured Alice who was touching Susie while eating ice cream.

Fortunately, the chocolates have been put away in advance... Well, Susie won't tell Miss Justice later, right?

Alice glanced at Susie hesitantly, and her steps suddenly slowed down.

"What's wrong?" Audrey looked at Alice in confusion.

"No, it's nothing," Alice replied firmly.

As a "mind reader", Audrey looked at Alice hesitantly, but finally did not remind her.

After Audrey led Alice into a small studio, Susie consciously went out to check the door and closed the door for them with her hind legs.

"Grelint said you were looking for me?" Audrey asked curiously.

"Ah..." Alice just remembered this, "Do you know Prince Edessac?"

--She had learned from Klein that Edessac Augustus was the third prince.

Audrey was slightly startled and nodded.

"I heard... I heard that he fell in love with a commoner girl?" This was of course also heard from Klein, Alice almost blurted out Klein's name.

Audrey obviously noticed the name that almost came out of her mouth. She suppressed her curiosity and asked tentatively:

"You...you don't know?"

Alice blinked and replied: "Don't you think it's weird to gossip with Mr. Fool?"

Audrey's expression froze. She imagined the scene of Miss "Destiny" gossiping with Mr. Fool, and quickly interrupted the scene in her mind with horror.

Alice's voice continued to sound:

"Although he...He is quite fun to tease, but gossiping...well...

"The last time I gossiped with Him was before I died."
