Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 393 Chapter 76 Solution to Misfortune

Alice looked at Klein silently.

Anderson looked at the strange adventurer, then at Alice, then at Cattleya, and finally asked as if he understood something:
"You two...are you flirting?"

"Cough." Cattleya coughed lightly and put her right hand to her lips to cover it up.

"No," Crane replied calmly, "Why would you think that? She's not even an adult yet."

Alice looked at Cattleya, who was trying not to laugh, then looked at Klein, who was forcing himself to remain calm. She turned to Anderson and said,

"As expected of you, you are the strongest 'hunter' in the five seas."

She emphasized "hunter," and Anderson understood what she meant and accepted the compliment:
“You flatter me.

“If you must heap such praise upon me, I would like you to add a qualifier in front of it, such as ‘less than demigod’.

"I guess I can only be called the strongest hunter below demigod."

Alice stared at him for a few seconds, then turned and walked away, only to be pulled back by Klein.

"What are you doing?" Klein asked her.

"I'll ask Frank if he can be planted in the soil," Alice explained.

Admiral of the Stars Cattleya cast a horrified gaze upon them. Klein's mouth twitched as he advised:
"Have you ever thought about what would grow from that?"

It was obvious that Alice hadn't thought about it, and she stopped.

Although he still didn't quite understand the relationship between Klein and Alice, in order to avoid completely angering Alice, Anderson chose to change the subject. He asked Cattleya:

"I wonder if I have the honor to ride on the 'Future'?
"I'll pay for the ship."

"No." Alice answered decisively before Cattleya could speak.

Cattleya, who wanted to seek advice, retracted her half-turned gaze.

After realizing that Alice, an angel who seemed extremely unreliable and could be easily refuted, actually had the actual decision-making power, Anderson changed his attitude instantly and said in a hurry:

“I’m familiar with the route ahead!

"I can help you avoid the dangers lurking on the safe waterway, tell you which ruins you can't explore, and help you avoid the mermaid's song in time!"

“The singing of a mermaid?” Klein’s eyes almost lit up, and he managed to maintain the image of Gehrman Sparrow with great difficulty.

"The mermaid's song!" Alice didn't care about her image at all. Her eyes lit up in an instant and she almost jumped up from where she was.

This reaction instantly exposed their purpose. Anderson looked at them with a smile without saying a word.

Alice stared at his annoying smile for two seconds, then turned to Klein and asked:

"Can I kill him?

"Hey, this seems like a good idea. I can also get a Beyonder characteristic for free... What's your Sequence Number?"

Alice blinked and looked at Anderson.

This was not a pleasant question. Most importantly, with Alice's personality, Anderson doubted that she was serious. "Don't kill me!" Anderson quickly turned his brain and found his only use. "I can keep you company. I have many interesting adventures!"

His analysis of Alice's character was quite accurate. Alice temporarily gave up the idea that had just arisen in her mind and turned to Cattleya and said:
"Well... this kind of thing should be left to the captain to decide, right?"

Cattleya suddenly felt flattered. She didn't show it on her face and nodded.

"I agree to your request.

"But after leaving this sea area, you must give me half of your belongings. If you have nothing, then I don't want anything."

Anderson had no objection to this, or rather, facing Alice who had an idea every second, his only pursuit now was to stay alive.

Haha, maybe after a while, my pursuit will be death... Thinking of Klein's evaluation of Alice, Anderson laughed in his heart, then smiled and said:

"make a deal!"

Despite Alice's unstable factor, Anderson still felt relieved after saying this. He couldn't help but remind her:
“Also, I must remind you that although my misfortune is limited to myself, you still have to be careful because I may attract monsters.

"Of course, I believe that with the combination of His Excellency 'Admiral of the Stars', this gentleman, His Majesty, and me, safety can be guaranteed."

"That's easy," Alice waved her hand generously, "I can solve your bad luck first, and then return it to you when you get off the ship."

As Klein and Cattleya looked at her with “As expected of you,” Alice raised her chin proudly towards Anderson and said smugly:

"This way you don't have to worry about bad luck attracting monsters!"

“…Why did you,” Anderson showed a puzzled expression, “Why did you go out of your way to return it to me?”

Klein glanced at Alice, who looked as if she didn't understand why Anderson was confused, shook his head, and kindly explained Alice's thinking to Anderson:

“In order to prevent your bad luck from affecting our subsequent voyage, she temporarily restored your luck to normal.

“But you didn’t pay a price that satisfied her, asking her to help you solve the bad luck that happened to you, so when you leave, she will give it back to you.

"Perhaps, she will make up for the bad luck you haven't experienced during this period."

Anderson looked at Alice hesitantly. Alice nodded in confusion under his puzzled gaze and asked:
"Any questions?"

"...No problem." Anderson looked at Alice hesitantly.

Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with Alice's behavior, but this kind of reasonable yet inexplicable behavioral logic makes Anderson feel that Alice is an angel a little more real.

...It turns out that none of you angels have a normal brain!
Anderson took a deep breath, smiled, and asked Alice:

"What should I call you?"

"Miss Fate." Alice said after thinking for a while.

Miss Destiny? This title... Anderson frowned, but didn't comment. He then looked at Klein again.

"German Sparrow." Klein introduced himself.

"German Sparrow?" Anderson was stunned for a moment. "I've heard of you, the adventurer who almost hunted down Vice Admiral Disease and was known as the craziest hunter! Last month, when I was passing through the Rorsted Archipelago and Oravi Island by boat, I wanted to have a drink with you and get to know you, but I don't know where you went."
