Mystery: Lucky

"Children should go to bed early and get up early," Alice looked at the ceiling. After advising herself seriously, she couldn't help but become confused, "But I obviously won't grow any taller...why should I still be like this?"

Alice was lost in thought.

After thinking for a few minutes, she pulled up the quilt, closed her eyes, let her mind go, and began to sleep.

...Why do children think so much!

After a peaceful sleep and getting up from the bed, Alice blinked twice and suddenly thought of a question.

"I can obviously check out the hotel room, come to Bayam to play during the day, and go back to Backlund to sleep at night..."

Having discovered a little money-saving trick, Alice checked out of the hotel room without hesitation and flashed back to Backlund's home.

Perfect.

Alice gave herself a thumbs up in the mirror, and after confirming that no one broke into the room while she was away, she started in a very ritualistic manner... brushing her teeth and washing her face.

"Ah," after spitting out the bubbles, Alice looked in the mirror and sighed, "This feels much more comfortable."

Although this need was actually gone, Alice still sighed and had to accept the fact that from now on she would have to do a bunch of time-wasting things every day.

——Otherwise she would feel very awkward.

So, the next step in the ritual is... reading the newspaper while eating breakfast?

Alice blinked, left the room, and took the newspaper and letters back from the mailbox.

After taking a bite of the Disi pie, the meat filling mixed with the fragrance and sweet and sour flavor instantly captured Alice's taste. For a brief moment, she came up with the idea of ​​learning to cook.

But that's it.

When she thought about what she needed to prepare for cooking, Alice felt that it would be more suitable for her to wait and eat.

But you can persuade people you know to learn to cook... Speaking of which, doesn't Klein know how to cook? Why don't you go have a meal...

So Gehrman Sparrow, the crazy adventurer who got up early, began to think about whether crazy adventurers should be able to cook.

...Wait, why would he agree to such a thing?

Klein secretly grinded his teeth and began to think about what to do for Alice.

This idea stopped until he was asked to clean the toilet at the Medical Aid Foundation.

...We must not let Alice know about this!

Looking at the toilets covered with yellow and black stains in front of him, Klein had the same thought as when he was pretending to be Elaine.

At the same time, Alice exited the divination dream, her eyes filled with confusion.

...Why is he cleaning the toilet?

——She originally just wanted to see what Klein was doing now.

Alice blinked twice in confusion and decided not to ask such an embarrassing question.

"Maybe this is his special hobby? Since he doesn't want to say it, let's forget it..." Alice murmured to herself and opened the letter belonging to Evelin.

What comes first is not the content of the letter.

In the dim light and dim candlelight, Alice saw a man with dark blue hair.

Hair of this color is almost a sign of the "Sailor" path Beyonders and their descendants - of course, this cannot be used as evidence.

Doubt only flashed past, and Alice soon noticed that the owner of the other face was familiar to her.

Evelyn...?

Alice was stunned for a moment. In the midst of doubt, she saw the man take out a beautifully wrapped gift box, handed it to Evelin, and said with a smile:

"Happy birthday, Ivy." Note①

Evelin happily accepted the birthday gift and opened the gift box. Inside was a beautiful brooch with a green gem inlaid on it... Damn it!

Alice jumped from her seat in shock.

Of course she knew what it was - wasn't it the "wealth-making accessory" that she sold while concealing its negative effects?

Two months have passed since she sold her fortune accessories!

What's worse is that the scene in the revelation only means that the "wealth accessory" was given as a birthday gift. In other words, Alice cannot determine who the owner of the "wealth accessory" is now in the occult sense. And when did you get it.

——The problem that this thing will kill its owner three months later may not have been exposed at all.

Alice rubbed the envelope in her hand uneasily, suppressing her thoughts to read the contents of the letter.

『

Dear Brielle:

When you see this letter, you should have returned from the sea, right?

You know, I have actually longed for the sea since I was a child - ah, I haven't told you, but my father used to be a sailor.

Father doesn't like to bring up topics from the past. Hey, like you, you should all be people with great secrets, right?

However, now I am a person with secrets just like you! Well, you must not tell my dad, otherwise I really can’t imagine his expression...

Haha, this is what I said before, the surprise I want to give you - are you surprised or not?

Now I am the same person as you!

In fact, I am writing this letter to tell you that tomorrow is my birthday. However, you shouldn’t be able to come back by then, right?

Wow, what a pity, I originally wanted to invite you...

That’s it this time. I hope you’ll be back when I write to you next time!

Sincerely, Evelyn

』

...damn it!

Who gave her the magic potion formula!

Alice threw the envelope down without a second thought, rushed out and knocked on Evelyn's door. It was Evelyn who opened the door for her. On her chest was the brooch from her dream.

She thought she didn't need to wonder where Evelyn got the potion formula.

Alice looked at the shadow behind Evelyn, where there was a pair of eyes that were familiar yet strange to her, dark, cold, and without eyelashes.

Alice took a deep breath, secretly increasing the probability of her next words being believed, and smiled softly:

"Evelyn, I saw your letter, I was very surprised and excited - sorry, I'm a little incoherent, I don't know what to say.

"By the way, can you tell me in detail what happened? Oh, I'm very curious..."

Evelyn hesitated and looked at Alice for a few seconds, then asked doubtfully: "But... who are you? Do we know each other? "

Alice's breathing stagnated, and she finally remembered something she had overlooked - during the few days she went to Bayam and stayed in Bayam, she had already gotten used to not wearing "Matilda" when going out.

The person Evelyn saw now was not her good friend Brielle Rose who lived next door, but Alice Kingsley!

"... Brielle?" When she was silent for a long time, Evelyn seemed to have guessed the answer, "Is it you, Brielle?" (End of this chapter)
