Mystery: Lucky One

Alice knew she was looking for a name, so she was careful and silently read it when she picked up the paper instead of reading it out loud as she usually did.

Fortunately, it is not the case, because this is written in ancient Hermetic language, and if it is read out, something bad will happen.

Alice closed her eyes and tried to use her spiritual power to search for the origin of the note. From the time it was made to the time it was sold, all the people who had come into contact with it along the way came to Alice's mind.

Alice skillfully threw away the other content and focused her attention on the person who wrote these two honorific names.

Alice saw a hand wearing a black glove holding a pen and placing it on the paper, writing down the two names stroke by stroke. She wanted to see the owner of the hand clearly, but suddenly she heard a voice:
"Crash."

It's the sound of turning pages.

After that, the images seemed to have suddenly disappeared as if the lights had disappeared, turning into darkness.

Alice opened her eyes and frowned at the note.

She did not use conventional divination, but directly used her authority. Therefore, this matter seemed particularly unreasonable.

——The power involved is authority, and only authority can block it.

"Cassandra..." Alice murmured, "'The Prophet'..."

Thinking of the sound of pages turning at the end, Alice remembered the book with the ocean blue cover.

——That book seems to come from a "prophet".

She pondered for a while, frowned and asked herself in confusion:

"But how did He know that story? No, it should be said...was it the story that came first, or was He that came first?

"If the story came first, then who brought the story? It couldn't be that I told it to Him, right?
"Speaking of which, that book can only be considered a magical item, right?... A living magical item?"

This is not impossible. Judging from the information revealed in the book, it is very likely that it has a very high degree of autonomous consciousness. The lucky person who becomes its "master" like the mysterious man that day is most likely just a puppet.

But Alice couldn't figure out what the book was doing.

She frowned, realizing that this was simply a limitation of knowledge. From this perspective, reading more books seemed to be really useful... Then I won't read either.

Alice made her decision with peace of mind, then looked at the honorific name thoughtfully and said:
"Actually, I can also recite this honorable name and try to see if I can contact it or Him..."

This was obviously a joke. Perhaps Alice could really do such a thing half a year ago, because at this moment the spirit did not give any feedback saying that this matter was dangerous. But now Alice has understood that when the spirit begins to warn, sometimes it is too late.

What's more, in some cases, the spirit will not give any warning, just like she had no idea from the beginning to the end that her fate was being manipulated by others.

Alice shook her head, wrote down the contents of the two honorific names, restored the scene, and interfered with the divination results before leaving the scene.

……

After calming down, Klein did not rush to open the gift. Instead, he slowly... ate the cake.

Food cannot be wasted.

After finishing the cake, Klein looked at the gift box that Alice had carefully wrapped and fell into hesitation.

Although Alice had warned him that the diary was inside, Klein was still impressed by the gift Alice gave to Amon and was still frightened.

"Let's watch it during the day, or at breakfast..." He muttered to himself, suppressing his curiosity and forcing himself to go to bed.

He was afraid that after reading it, he would be unable to resist and would go and beat Alice up in the middle of the night. …

A beautiful morning arrived. Klein opened the gift box before breakfast and prepared to check the contents of the gift first to make himself more awake.

He undoubtedly succeeded.

Not long ago, Klein had set a goal in his mind - except for Roselle turning into a woman, nothing else would surprise him. Now, this goal has been realized.

“April 1st, oh shit, I’ve been cursed and turned into a woman, a woman with a bulging front and back!

"I can't look at my body, I can't stand it, it's so horrible!

"I love being with ladies, but that doesn't mean I want to be one. I hope to recover soon."

Klein fell into deep thought as he read this diary entry, but at least Roselle's reaction was very normal, nothing strange about it... Wait, what's next?
"On April 2, I experienced the joy of being a woman."

...?
???

What does it mean to experience a woman’s happiness?
Klein felt that his pure heart had been polluted, but this did not seem to be the end. He looked at the last sentence and fell into deep confusion.

"April 4th, the Iron-Blooded Knight tastes really good."

"......?" Klein glanced at the date at the beginning and began to wonder if this could be an April Fool's joke played by the Emperor.

There's no way, although it looks real, it's actually... too ridiculous.

But Alice put another diary underneath. Did she think that the other diary would shock me more...

Klein looked at the diary in his hand, puzzled - is there anything more outrageous than the emperor turning into a woman and sleeping with a man?

He looked at the other diary in confusion.

The Faceless Man's version of the diary did not have a bombshell at the beginning. It was just that the beautiful woman he met was actually a man after he took off his pants. That's nothing.

Klein, who had pretended to be Elaine, accepted this well and continued watching.

Zaratul showed Emperor Roselle the ability of the Faceless Man the next day... It seems a bit strange? But it's still... What the hell is the taste of the Faceless Man?
Crane angrily tore the diary in half.

This anger was not directed at Russell, but at Alice - two pages of diary, one starting on April 4st and the other ending on March 1th, both dates were April Fools' Day in Alice's mouth.

Coupled with the handwriting that belonged to Alice, Klein, who knew Alice very well, suspected that these two pages of the "transcribed version" of the diary were not the originals at all!
After all, Alice once said famous quotes such as "The taste of the original witch is really good" and "Mr. Fool, I want to have a child with you."

This is not reasoning, this is the stereotype of naughty children at work.

……

While having breakfast on the Golden Dream, Alice heard Klein's prayer.

After reading the diary, Mr. Fool calmly asked her:
"Alice, what does the original version of these two pages of the diary you copied look like? Can you show it to me?"

Alice looked down at the breakfast on the plate and began to seriously consider the feasibility of using computing power to simulate handwriting.

I knew it would be easy to be discovered... Luckily I had sold it in advance, I'm so smart! (End of this chapter)
