Mystery: Lucky

Leonard, who was thrown out of the door, was greatly shocked.

Alice's words seemed to be hinting - no, it was almost equal to explicit, she was indicating something.

For a moment, Leonard wanted to return to Tingen City right now and dig up the grave of another "protagonist of the times" he knew to see if it was empty.

But humans are such strange creatures. Although this was an unexpected surprise for him, he couldn't help but be afraid of it.

——Why did his former colleague fake his death?

He longed to know the truth behind it, but was afraid that the truth would not be what he wanted.

…

Alice decided not to go to the goddess's church again before going to Bayam - she felt that the goddess should not want to see her either.

Time passed quietly while Alice was sorting out the manuscripts, and three o'clock in the afternoon came unknowingly.

The deep red light surged like a tide, drowning the world in front of her. Alice closed her eyes habitually and waited until the light faded before opening them again.

The first person to notice the new member was Fors, the Magician, who was sitting next to Cattleya, the Hermit. She immediately realized that there was an extra person next to her, and then turned around pretending not to care.

The second person to realize this was Audrey, the Justice, who was just about to stand up to greet them. When she noticed the new member, she suddenly thought of a strange question:

Mr. Fool seemed to have intentionally divided women on one side and men on the other side, and Mr. Fool, as a god, certainly couldn't use gender... Wait a minute.

Audrey suddenly looked at the World and Alice in confusion. If we reason from this perspective, that is to say, Mr. Fool believes that the World has no gender or is not a human, and Miss Fate is a woman...

Well, okay, Miss Fate should be barely reasonable, which means that the World... No, Audrey, stop, you must be overthinking!

Audrey stopped her wild thoughts, stood up, and saluted in a brisk tone:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"

After Klein nodded slightly in response, Audrey turned to Alger, the "Hanged Man":

"Good afternoon, Mr. 'Hanged Man'~"

After Alger responded in the same way, Audrey turned to Alice:

"Good afternoon, Miss 'Destiny'~"

Alice tilted her head and finally realized something was wrong - she didn't greet according to the order of the Tarot cards, but according to the time of joining the club!

- If she greeted in order, the Magician card should be after the Fool card.

After realizing this, Alice shook her hand happily to show that she received it, and then laughed at Mr. Fool who had been robbed of the dominant position in her heart.

And with Audrey's greeting, Cattleya and the old members of the Tarot Club also began the classic process of looking at each other.

The inconspicuous purple light slowly flowed in Cattleya's eyes, and her sight naturally fell on Alice, who she was most curious about.

Last time they met, she did not dare to peek at Miss "Fate", who was suspected to be Mr. Fool's junior, but this time, she vaguely realized that Miss "Fate" did not seem to be placed in the position of a god at this party, so she naturally let go of her courage.

Unlike the pajamas she wore when they met last time, Miss "Fate" this time was wearing a very strange dress - at least Cattleya had never heard of the custom of putting a sack on the body.

Suddenly, Alice seemed to notice her gaze and turned her head to look at her. Almost at that moment, she saw a flash of light.

... Light?

Cattleya frowned slightly and kept her sight on Alice. The purple flowing in her eyes slowly deepened until... she saw the light again.

It seemed to be surrounding her, shrouding her, and jumping out of her body. Cattleya couldn't tell where the light came from. She only saw the beautiful light, rushing towards her at a seemingly slow but inescapable speed. When it was in front of her, it suddenly became bright and drowned her.

A huge amount of information suddenly surged into her mind. She couldn't tell the content of the information. They were broken and entangled together, and they broke into her consciousness violently, causing her spirituality to hurt.

"Ah!" She cried out in pain, and slumped in the chair with a pale face. She only felt that the scenery in her eyes was filled with blurred light and shadow.

In the blurred and violently shaking image, a shadow was shaking and approaching her. When it was close enough, she could barely distinguish it as a human figure. She heard the shadow speak in a familiar voice:

"What did you see on me...?"

As the girl's figure approached, she seemed to be pardoned in some way. The dazzling light disappeared from her eyes. She realized that her vision was slowly recovering, and the information in her mind that completely disrupted her thoughts also disappeared without a trace.

As her vision slowly recovered, she saw the blurry face with clear blue eyes. She heard the girl ask again: "What did you see on me?"

She opened her mouth, but did not speak. Only one sentence echoed in her mind:

Don't look directly at God!

Alice noticed the flash of fear in her eyes, which made her even more confused. She frowned and asked again the question that she had always been concerned about:

"What did you see in me?"

"...light," Cattleya replied in a dry voice, "I saw light in you."

"Light..." Alice murmured softly. She remembered the wave of light that once submerged her, and suddenly she felt that it was indeed the case.

Alice didn't comment on the answer. She turned her eyes from Cattleya inadvertently and returned to her seat without caring.

After being let go, Cattleya felt that she had regained a little strength, but she soon realized that the atmosphere at the Tarot Conference was too quiet. She lowered her body and did not dare to speak.

It wasn't until Alice slumped on the chair that she was helpless that Klein chuckled and said to the audience:

"Since she doesn't mind, let's end it here."

The stagnant atmosphere calmed down, and everyone adjusted their postures with different thoughts, thinking deeply about what had just happened.

Although the pronoun used by Mr. Fool is still "she", no one here will regard Alice as "she".

Only Cattleya stood up, lowered her head and saluted in Alice's direction:

"Sorry, my secret eye is instinctive. It can only be strengthened and cannot be turned off. It must be sealed with magical items..."

Alice tilted her head, holding her chin and replied:

"In fact, I just realized that the Eye of Secret can see problems in me..."
