Mystery: Lucky One

Hey, it turns out that this way he won’t be sad... I’m so smart!
Alice praised herself smugly in her heart, then leaned forward and said:

"Now that you put it that way, it seems like I do have the most scenes..."

...?
What on earth is she thinking... No, she should know that's not what I meant. She can't fail to see that... She did it on purpose!

Klein suddenly realized what had happened, and as his memory flashed back, he recalled his previous low mood.

Is she comforting me...?
"But the 'prophet' cannot be your 'female protagonist'!" Alice's righteous voice interrupted Klein's thoughts, "The most I can do is tell you who your destiny is!"

...The comfort may be true, but the beating is definitely true.

Klein glanced at Alice with mixed feelings. He was about to scold her, but when he met her bright eyes, he suddenly swallowed his words back.

Scolding her would only make her happier... Klein thought as he leaned back and asked casually:

"Oh? Who is it?"

...what is who?
Alice blinked twice in confusion, not realizing what Klein was asking.

She is talking nonsense!

Klein suppressed the urge to laugh out loud, used the Joker's extraordinary ability to hold back his expression, and pretended to be calm:
"Who is my destiny?"

……ah?

Alice understood this time, but the question was not easy to answer. Amon's answer seemed too old-fashioned and unoriginal. Except for Amon, everyone else was in a state of having both novelty and no novelty.

It seems like the answer is the same no matter who I answer... I can't just say myself, right?!
Um? etc……

Alice compared everyone in her mind, and finally even thought about herself. Finally, she came to the conclusion - why must it be a human?

"Ice cream," she replied seriously.

“…That’s what you like, right?” Klein reminded him tactfully.

Alice thought it made sense, and after thinking about it carefully, she changed her conclusion: "Sweet ice tea and Dipsy pie."

Sweet ice tea and Dixie pie... Hmm, this is really delicious... Klein was dazed for a moment, then realized what they were talking about. He stared at Alice and said:

"No matter how I think about it, there's no way I'm going to spend my whole life with sweet ice tea or Dipsy Pie!"

"That's really unlikely..." Alice nodded in agreement. "After all, food will go bad. Even if we only consider the type, you can't eat only one kind of food for your whole life..."

Still, we can communicate normally...

Klein was relieved.

Alice glanced at Klein and gave her corrected answer after careful consideration:
"I see, your destiny is the gold pound!"

……ah?

Klein looked at Alice with a slightly dazed look in his eyes. His brain briefly went into a state of shutdown, but Alice's thoughts became smoother:

"No, what if the currency units in other places are different? We can't all use gold pounds. Well, gold sounds too one-sided and too vulgar...

"I understand, your destiny is money!"

Klein understood this time. He looked at Alice and thought for a few seconds, then reached out and touched Alice's forehead.

...What are you doing?

Alice sat there blankly, watching Klein put his hand on her forehead, and then took it back and placed it on his own forehead after a few seconds. Alice blinked twice, trying to analyze the intention of this action.

This is comparing temperatures... No, wait, have I seen this action somewhere before?

Alice thought seriously for a moment, and finally found traces of this action from the corner of her memory - she vaguely remembered that a teacher had touched her like this in elementary school to see if she had a fever.

She touched her chin and said:
"Are you trying to ask me if I have a fever... Um, wait, will a fever burn my brain out... Are you scolding me?"

At the end of her words, Alice's eyes widened in anger.

……she does not know?
Klein looked at Alice in surprise, who had just reacted. He stared at her furious expression and thought for two seconds before asking her:
"Can mythical creatures have fevers?"

Alice was stunned for a moment, then said hesitantly:

"Under normal circumstances, this certainly won't happen. After all, low-sequence Beyonders won't get sick unless something unexpected happens...

"Well, even if it is the influence of extraordinary ability, it is probably not of much use to the angel - for me, it is just a matter of reloading the file, and this is without considering whether I can hit the target or not.

"To make an angel sick, perhaps, you need this kind of authority, right?

"It is almost impossible for a force without authority to harm an angel."

It's so easy to distract her... It's so fun to make her angry and then distract her so that she forgets what happened just now...

Klein felt that he suddenly understood Alice a little.

Alice didn't know what was going on. After careful analysis, she had forgotten their last conversation. She was thinking about what she had forgotten.

Hmm, what is it?

Having discovered the new game, Klein looked at Alice thoughtfully, poked her and asked:

“What about those involving authority?
"Do you know any angels you can beat?"

"?" Alice stopped thinking and glared at Klein.

She looked offended, as if she had been hit in the sore spot. Klein looked at her expression and asked hesitantly:
"...You can't really be unable to defeat any of them, right?"

Alice gritted her teeth and defended herself:

"That's not the case! How is it possible that I can't defeat even one of them!
"But, uh, I don't know if you noticed...

"I think... I've basically never fought..."

...It seems so.

It’s not that Alice has never fought at all, but her necessary fights always end in a bizarre way, such as Megalos falling to her death... Wait, Megalos?
Alice raised her head and looked at Klein, and asked hesitantly:
“That guy… uh, I think his name is Ince Zangwill… right?
"Did he kill me once?"

"?" Klein, who had never forgotten his desire for revenge, looked at Alice with his mouth wide open.

Alice looked at him blankly and asked hesitantly, "I...I shouldn't have remembered his name wrong, right?"

“…No.” Klein lowered his jaw with mixed feelings and spoke calmly, “How could you forget even something like this?”

Alice looked at him quizzically.

Klein could no longer remain calm. He looked at Alice in confusion and said excitedly:
"...He killed you once!" (End of this chapter)
