Mystery: Lucky

Alice shuddered at the disgusting look, and when she realized that Klein had nothing to say, she hurriedly left a message and ran away:

"I'll go write a reply!"

She moved so quickly, as if her mother was waiting for her at home for dinner.

Having correctly understood the core of the matter, Alice confidently wrote a reply:

"Curiosity will not only kill the cat, but also the Beyonder~ Note ①

"I heard that there is an old witch named Cassandra who likes to run around and catch curious kids like you~

"Did He go to find you?"

After following Klein's advice, she wrote a letter completely based on her mood without thinking about what she wanted to express, and then sent the letter out.

- I hope Miss Winfred's imagination is as rich as Mr. "The Hanged Man" and she will automatically write the background story.

Thinking of this, Alice shook her head, drew a scarlet moon logo on her chest, and then praised the "Lord of the Storm" devoutly.

After that, she put down her hand and murmured, "It seems that I should draw the symbol of the Church of Fools, but there is no symbol... Forget it, I will use the symbol of the goddess for now, anyway..."

Anyway, the spoils will be shared with the goddess.

Hmm, I haven't been to the church on time recently...Forget it, the goddess probably doesn't want to see me.

Alice gave up the habit of going to the church on time, eating on time, sleeping on time, and spent this ordinary Friday.

What to do today?

On Saturday morning, Alice counted the things she could do on her fingers.

The main ingredients of the potion have not been found yet, and the auxiliary ingredients are even worse...I'm too lazy to go, take a break.

I've tried very hard...

Preaching...This is not my job, right? But, but I can think of who is more suitable to be kidnapped to be the Pope...

First of all, he must be able to fight...the kind of angels who can fight.

Secondly, you need to understand me, and it would be best if you can guess what I want to do without me saying it...

Finally, you can't stop me from doing what I want to do, and if possible, it would be best if you can accompany me...

Alice blinked twice, and a blurry image of a person wearing a monocle emerged in her mind.

...Enough, no need to continue to improve the clarity!

Alice looked around, and after confirming that no figure wearing a monocle suddenly appeared in the room, she leaned back with confidence.

In order to avoid thinking about Amon repeatedly, Alice decided to find something to do with her brain, such as...drawing a new comic?

Who to draw?

Luckily or unluckily, Alice's first memory of Amon, the image of the comic version of Amon, emerged.

Alice put her hand on her chin and began to think.

As we all know, one of the methods to treat PTSD is exposure therapy - I mean, in order to solve the problem of constantly thinking about Amon, Alice decided that one of the protagonists of the next comic would be Amon!

...No, it's okay to draw according to the image, but it's too weird to call it this name directly. How about giving Amon a nickname?

Alice didn't think twice and wrote down the Loen word for "crow".

I'm so smart!

Alice snapped her fingers complacently and began to think about what kind of story this should be.

...It must not be a love story with Klein!

The only story with a ready-made plot was ruled out by Alice first, for no other reason than that she was afraid that Mr. Fool would see it.

That would be too scary.

However, drawing love is indeed a good idea.

But two men are still not suitable for Loen, at least on the surface, it is still unacceptable. Consider replacing one of the protagonists with a girl...

Wait, why don't I just have a female protagonist?

Alice carefully recalled the women she knew and found that the most suitable female protagonist here might be herself - of course she couldn't make up a rumor about herself.

...Try a man.

After biting the pen and thinking hard for a long time, a person who was both related and not so related appeared - Leonard.

Alice did not forget that Leonard had an angel of the "thief" path, and this angel was trapped by Amon's pursuit.

Alice's pen tip moved slightly, and a new line of words jumped onto the paper:

"Amon found the shadow of his former lover in Leonard."

After staring at this line of text for more than ten seconds, Alice swore in her heart that she must destroy this thing after finishing the draft.

Okay, I can continue to draft next. First, give Leonard a nickname...

Recalling the image of Leonard in her memory, Alice wrote two lines of text on the paper at the same time: "Poet" and "Desperate Illiterate".

...The former one sounds better.

Alice couldn't bear to look directly at it and covered her face with her hands.

It's hard to imagine that as a "midnight poet", Leonard can't write poetry - your magic potion doesn't add the ability to write poetry!

Alice shook her head and continued to think about the rest of the story.

Regarding the "thief" angel on Leonard's body, Alice didn't plan to give him a nickname for the time being. She planned to ask who this person was first...

As for the main content of the story, it was also easy to organize after setting the main theme of the substitute lover.

——Emperor Roselle had no interest in plagiarizing female romance novels.

Of course, he probably hadn't read them either.

But Alice was very clear about the process of this kind of story. She could write a complete and ups-and-downs outline according to the setting now. It was too easy.

The hard part is choosing a name.

Alice is thinking about how to choose a name that is both youthful and romantic and reflects the theme. Well, ideally, it would be best to include the two protagonists...

While she was thinking hard, she began to design the character image.

Of course it's impossible to use the original version.

In the final image, Alice only retained some basic features, such as hair color and eye color, Leonard's poet temperament, and Amon's monocle.

Similarly, Alice also added a few things that were not found in the original version. For example, Leonard is now a girl, and Amon... Amon has almost become an anthropomorphic crow.

Alice took a breath, knocked on the table and began to name the story.

She started by trying to list the key elements.

"Crow", "poet", well, what else?

Alice frowned, and after thinking for a moment, she wrote "love" again.

After looking up at her idea about the substitute lover, Alice added "lie" to it.

...It fits Amon's image very well.

After imagining the scene when Amon saw this story, Alice suddenly felt the desire to laugh. She tried to hold it back and warned herself:

"No, you have to take the name and then laugh!"

With that said, Alice wrote the final name on the manuscript paper:

Poems in the Crow's Shadow: The intertwined melody of love and lies. (End of chapter)
