Mystery: Lucky One

There is nothing wrong with this.

Seeing Klein nodded, Alice became inexplicably shy again. She stepped back and said:
"Okay, okay!"

Alice stammered and tried to run away, but Klein shook his head and did not stop her, so Alice escaped successfully.

After regaining her freedom, Alice rested for a short while before she had to consider her own actions. She finally agreed with Klein's suggestion and decided to think of a solution from the potion aspect, so she had to contact Justice Audrey again:

"How many more treatments will Hazel need before she recovers?"

Audrey frowned almost as soon as she heard the question. Even a fool would realize that something must have happened. She replied as calmly as possible:
"I'm sorry, I'm not sure, but if you plan to do something in the near future, I'm afraid..."

She paused, not actually saying the last word, but the tone of her voice that made it clear. Alice frowned and replied:
"It's not that I plan to do something, but she... Hey, are you able to be alone now?"

Audrey paused before saying:

"If it's a short period of time, I can find an excuse, but if it's a long period, it might arouse suspicion. I can probably only stay alone for about ten minutes..."

"It's enough," Alice breathed out, "more than enough..."

After receiving this answer, Audrey found an excuse to stay in the room alone, and then passed the message to Alice.

Alice appeared in the air, looked at Audrey, and after a moment of silence, she spoke:

“Hmm…how should I put it?

"This should actually be my mistake. After Amon stole Will Auceptin, I thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, Amon seemed to have only stolen part of it...

"Anyway, for some reason, Hazel is still pregnant..."

"...Ah?" Audrey looked confused.

At least Alice had mentioned the "restart" thing at the Tarot Club, so Audrey was somewhat mentally prepared, otherwise her expression might have been even uglier.

But even so, Audrey's expression did not look very good. She tried to understand Alice's words and asked carefully:

"I don't understand, what do you mean...

"Amon stole the child, but the mother was still pregnant?"

Alice nodded with a strange expression.

Audrey took a deep breath and opened her mouth to say something, but failed several times. It seemed that she was completely unable to organize the words.

Alice was very tolerant of this, and she said sincerely:
"When we first learned about this, the expressions on my and 'The World''s' faces were not much worse than yours."

Audrey's face froze for a moment. She wasn't sure if this matter was worth celebrating, but she still managed a smile.
"Haha."

It's better not to laugh, this is too ugly... Alice frowned, looked away from Audrey's face, shook her head and said:

"You... forget it, let's talk about something else.

“I plan to try to give Hazel an abortion, but this will inevitably happen in front of her. After all, I can’t pour the potion into her mouth while she’s asleep, right…?
"And actually, if the child wasn't so involved... maybe I should have asked her whether to have an abortion."

This is Alice's true thought. She does agree to consider Hazel's suggestions in this regard, but as she has shown, she is actually very flexible in her thinking. For example, in the current situation, if Hazel refuses to obey, Alice would think that she might as well die.

But if Hazel was as helpless as she was now, or if she readily agreed and asked her for help - although this was unlikely.

In short, if Hazel was in need of help and had a soft attitude, Alice would not be so cruel and would consider taking some help, just like now.

——At least, she’s better than Alice who can’t even remember her name.

Hazel didn't understand this mentality, nor did she know about this matter. Only Audrey smiled and said:

"Ms. Fate, it seems that you have been very concerned about Hazel's affairs... However, my ability is limited. I really can't make it happen in a short period of time so that when you appear in front of Hazel, she will not have any abnormal reaction."

Alice frowned, and after thinking for a moment, she said:

"Well, I remember you said before that you can do psychological hints, right?"

Audrey nodded, and Alice continued:
"Then can you give Hazel some psychological hints? It doesn't have to be too complicated, just let her take the initiative to think about this matter and find the right person..."

After a pause, she continued:
"I can make her and Mr. Moon meet by chance, but I need a little help. Also, um, should I tell Mr. Moon about this?"

Alice looked at Audrey inquiringly, and Audrey nodded.
"Although I think Mr. Moon will not refuse your request, you are right. Things like this should indeed be discussed with the person himself.

"Psychological suggestion takes some time. You may have to wait for a few days..."

"That's okay," Alice spread her hands, "but it's better to hurry up. I don't want to put it off until next week... OK, call me."

She disappeared while mumbling, leaving this place to Audrey. After a moment's hesitation, she really called out to Emlyn the Moon:

"Mr. Moon? Are you free now?"

Suddenly hearing a girl's voice in his ears, Emlyn was stunned. He looked around in horror. Seeing this, Alice added:
"it's me."

Oh yes, it’s Miss Destiny… Emlyn the Moon let out a breath, and then he became nervous about this sudden visit. He tried to reply to the message in his mind:

“Yes, there is!
"You have something to ask me?"

"Yes," Alice admitted generously, "I seem to remember that you owed me a favor once before... Well, use it now."

The sword of judgment hanging over his head finally fell. Emlyn the Moon felt relieved and said in a serious tone:

"What do you need from me, Miss Destiny?"

Secretly, Emlyn reached into the pocket of his robe, rummaging through the medicines inside, and counting the potions on his body.

Alice found it inexplicably funny and shook her head. After confirming that there was no one else in Emlyn's room except for the dolls, she simply showed up in person.

"!" Emlyn opened his eyes wide, and it was hard to tell whether the expression on his face was one of fear or something else, but his eyes were fixed on Alice.

Alice blinked and met Emlyn's bloodshot eyes. She finally realized something:

"I seem to have heard before that some vampires... some vampires have some special habits, such as only sucking the blood of a certain group..."

She looked around at the girl-like dolls in the room, with strange expressions. Emlyn awkwardly moved his face, trying to smile, but failed. Alice didn't care and shook her head.

"So, Hazel is actually a girl. If you plan to collect another reward from her, I will not stop you."

After a pause, she reminded him solemnly, "Don't smoke to death."

——After all, she spent so much effort to get into the city.

Emlyn the Moon nodded quickly, and then defended himself:
"I never thought of sucking your blood... I admit that I do seem impulsive sometimes, but this..."

This is no different from seeking death!
Alice somehow understood what Emlyn said. She did not respond, but told him what she had told Audrey.

When Emlyn recovered from his shock, Alice said solemnly:

"Anyway, this is the situation. I came to you because I actually wanted you to help Hazel...have an abortion."

After a pause, she asked again, "Can potions do this?"

Without hesitation, Emlyn nodded, and then said:
"Although I have never prepared a similar potion, compared to the 'pharmacist' who just recites the recipe, the 'potion professor' is more familiar with the properties of various potion materials. They can create new potions based on these materials."

Alice listened thoughtfully, and then summarized:
"In other words, the formulas in the hands of the 'Pharmacist' actually come from the 'Potion Professor'?"

Emlyn nodded. Alice thought of the fat pharmacist who was keen on certain medicines and couldn't help but ask:
"I know a 'pharmacist' who is particularly keen on certain... uh, certain potions that are only suitable for men, that is, that kind of..."

Thanks to Klein's teachings, Alice did not say anything directly to Emlyn, so Emlyn just nodded with a strange expression and said:

"…There is indeed such a potion."

"...I know that," Alice pinched her brows, "After all, judging from his performance, his medicine is very popular and seems to be very effective..."

Emlyn's expression also became strange. If Alice hadn't been wearing a white robe and barefoot, which was full of mystery and made people ignore her girlish appearance, Emlyn's expression would have been even stranger.

Alice didn't notice this, and she continued to explain:

"I actually want to know where his recipe came from... I mean, have you ever heard of any potion master who has made achievements in this area? Or, has he had close ties with the 'School of Life'...?"
"No, that's not right. It could also be the 'Rose School'... Well, I don't need to hear about it now."

The corner of Alice's mouth twitched, and she realized that the prescription might really come from the "Rose School", and from the "Indulgent School" within the "Rose School".

When Alice thought of this possibility, she felt speechless. She pinched her brows and said to Emlyn the Moon:
"Anyway, that's the situation, is that ok with you?"

Emlyn nodded and shook his head before answering Alice:
"I'm sorry, Miss Destiny, I may need to take a look at the situation of Miss Hazel..."

This is a reasonable request. Alice understood it and waved her hand.
"Don't worry. Miss Justice and I have discussed and decided to have Hazel meet you by chance, learn that you are the Potions Professor, and ask for your help in treating the illness. This way, you will have plenty of time to diagnose the patient.

"I'm just saying hello."

Emlyn the Moon paused for a moment. He recalled the topic they had discussed at the last Tarot Club and suddenly understood the fear that Audrey the Justice had shown at that time.

——From the sound of it, if Miss Fate hadn’t respected him more, he might have been arranged for something and he wouldn’t even know how it was arranged.

This is really... Emlyn felt a chill creeping down his back. He said reluctantly:
"I understand, Miss Destiny. I will do as you say."

Alice easily saw through his fear, but she didn't intend to comfort him. She just smiled and said:

"Have you ever heard a word?"

"What?" Emlyn asked in confusion.

Alice muttered to herself, complaining about a senior who had traveled through time:

"I suppose Russell might have written this poem...

“Well, this is what it means…

"You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery.
“The people who are looking at the scenery are looking at you from upstairs.

"The bright moon adorns your window,

"You decorate other people's dreams."

After reciting this short poem, Alice paused for a moment and smiled as if she didn't care:
"Well, did Emperor Roselle write this poem?"

“…I don’t know,” Emlyn answered honestly, “After all, Emperor Roselle is not a member of the vampire race.”

"Huh?" Alice looked at Emlyn in surprise, as if thinking about something. "You guys are pretty united?"

Emlyn couldn't help but feel a little proud when he mentioned this. He puffed out his chest and said:

"That is, our blood race..."

He only opened his mouth before Alice decisively disappeared. Emlyn looked at the empty room, opened his mouth and then closed it again, not knowing how to react for a moment.

As for Alice's suggestive words... he thought the poem was beautiful, that was all.

……

The entire process was initially planned. Alice, who had heard Klein talk about Emlyn bragging about the glory and achievements of the vampires in front of The Fool, ran away in a hurry when she heard the formatted beginning.

——Listening to a story is one thing, but listening to someone bragging about his ancestors is another.

Alice shook her head and stopped thinking about it. She lay down on the sofa and thought of the fat pharmacist whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

"I don't know what happened to him..." Alice muttered to herself.

After taking the "Dice of Probability", she never saw the pharmacist again, as if their fate had finally come to an end - of course, the main reason for this was that Alice did not deliberately look for the fat pharmacist.

She didn't really plan to look for it at this moment, but she just happened to think of sighing. The main reason was that she suddenly realized that if this pharmacist was promoted to Sequence 7, he would be a "vampire".

——This is also the artificial vampire that Mr. "Moon" hates the most.

Considering the prescription that might have come from the "Rose School", Alice shook her head and lit a candle for the fat pharmacist in her heart.

...Rest in peace. (End of this chapter)
