Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 355:38 Derrick's Request

So it was this sentence... It seems to be from a book by Emperor Roselle... But is there anything wrong with this sentence? Why does Miss Fate look so embarrassed...

This thought flashed through Audrey's mind, and then she saw Alice pat her chest with her hand, exhaled, and muttered:

“So that’s how it’s translated…”

...?
So that's how it is... Miss Fate can understand it, but I don't know how to translate it into Loenese... It doesn't seem strange that it's Miss Fate's words...

Alice's act of slandering herself brought the matter to a fairly satisfactory end. Although Cattleya still looked at Alice in confusion, they both accepted this statement.

After all, unlike Mr. Fool who seemed to be a “respected elder”, Alice…she didn’t look like a cultured person at first glance.

Alice certainly saw what the others were thinking, and even though this was a decision she made on a whim, she still gritted her teeth when she realized that the image she left behind was actually like this.

So angry...

Alice squeezed the chair with her hands under the table. She suppressed her desire to glare at Klein and decided to cause him some trouble when she had the chance.

It must be his fault!

The good news is that her angry attitude successfully persuaded Audrey, who wanted to ask what the other two sentences meant, to give up.

- Despite her curiosity, Audrey knew that it was not a good idea to attract Alice's attention at this time.

Without Audrey, except for Emlyn, no one else would take the initiative to ask even if they were curious. The only one who might ask, Emlyn, was not very interested in it.

The matter ended just like that. After finding that no one else spoke, "Sun" Derrick thought for a moment, raised his hand, and asked carefully, "What are you talking about?"

"During my recent patrol mission, I encountered a somewhat... somewhat... special situation.

"Our patrol team suddenly became unlucky when passing through a ruin. They choked on water and food...

"This situation doesn't last long. It will disappear in about a day. However, every patrol team passing by the ruins will encounter this situation...

"And outside of the Silver City, this kind of bad luck can develop into a very dangerous situation, such as the lights suddenly going out, or suddenly encountering a monster...

"Although no one has failed in the battle so far, I am worried..."

Although he didn't point out anyone in particular, Derrick's gaze for help fell accurately on Alice this time. Seeing his hesitant look, Alice had to remind him:

"Look, I'm useless... I can't hear your prayers from outside, but I don't know how to get there... I can't just ask Amon to take me there, right?!"

This is what they experimented with.

In fact, at one point, Alice wanted to ask Derrick why he didn't ask Klein - after all, his honorific name included "the yellow and black king who controls good luck", but she quickly held back.

After all, Mr. Fool doesn’t have the ability to control good luck now. If someone asks him about it, it would be... awkward.

Suppressing the dangerous thought, Alice continued:
“You can wait… um, until I find a way to get to your place, or until Mr. Fool recovers a little bit, until he can send someone over…”

Thinking of the fact that Klein could receive prayers from the "Forsaken Land of God" and respond to the rituals there, Alice glanced at him. It shouldn't be because of him... No, that's nonsense. He has no ability to receive prayers at all. It must be because of Sefirah Castle... If that's the case, why can't the Key of Light do the same?
Is it the difference between Pillar Class and Old One Class? Or is it...

Alice pursed her lips slightly, remembering the power that seemed to be calling to her.

Combined with her understanding of the law of aggregation of extraordinary characteristics, Alice suspected that she only carried a part of the power of the Key of Light, which was not complete, and might not even be the main body. The real Key of Light was actually still sealed in the Western Continent.

This was also one of the Goddess's guesses about her situation at the time. Another possibility was that she was a fragment of the Key of Light that escaped, but she had existed as the only one, and Alice insisted that she must have been a human at the beginning, so this possibility was temporarily ruled out.

However, if this is true, I should really go to the "God-Forsaken Land" to take a look... After all, it borders the Western Continent, and perhaps I can get more clues there.

Then give Him that damned birthday present back.

Thinking of this, Alice clenched her fists, raised her head and smiled:
"Well... stay away from there for now. If you need it, I can provide you with a spell to remove bad luck, as long as you... uh, you don't have money."

Alice looked at Derrick who was confused about currency and fell into deep thought.

Derrick realized that this matter could not be resolved for the time being, but before he had time to feel disappointed, he heard good news. Then, the good news turned into bad news. He said unwillingly:

"I, I can provide extraordinary properties and various materials..."

"I can sell it for you." Alger also tried to make a profit from the deal.

Alice shook her head and said to Derrick with a smile:
“Perhaps you are just worried about your friend, but for Mr. Fool’s sake, and because this is the first time, I refuse you this time.

"Next time, there won't be such a good thing. After all... you have no reason to take out so many bad luck-removing spells, and you have no reason to ask for benefits from others, right?
"Fate is not a philanthropist, so in order to pay the price, you must not be a philanthropist, dear Mr. Sun."

There was a hint of intimacy in Alice's tone, but the look she gave Derrick was colder and more warning than before.

Derrick woke up from this look and realized that Miss Destiny was not as easy to talk to as Mr. Fool.

They owe Mr. Fool something for now. Judging from their past performance, there won't be any serious consequences, as long as they don't really plan to run away.

But, if I owe Miss Fate for now...

Unfortunately, Alice's past performance only makes people feel that she may suddenly change her mind at any time and then collect some rewards that you definitely don't want to pay.

The fickleness of fate is particularly perfectly reflected in her.

Thinking of this, Derrick stood up and thanked him solemnly:

"Thank you for your reminder, kind Miss Fate."

...?
Is he talking about me...?
He, he is really talking about me...?
It's okay for Ms. Hermit, but how can Little Sun...

Alice, who had a clear understanding of herself, raised her head hesitantly, blinked twice, and asked uncertainly:

"Me, Merciful?" (End of this chapter)
