Mystery: Lucky

Alice, who was just looking around casually, became focused.

The girl holding the book tried to escape, but she was too young after all, and her thoughts could not be hidden from her terrible father. She was discovered the moment she escaped.

How could it be discovered, that book... An uneasy thought flashed through her heart, and the picture that followed changed Alice's mind.

It was midnight when she was discovered. Holding the book in her arms, the girl sneaked out of the house and quietly unlocked the door.

From time to time she glanced in a certain direction, which Alice guessed was the direction where her father was.

After all, it was the first time she had done this kind of thing. The girl's movements could not hide her nervousness, but they were steady and methodical. Her hands were extremely stable and she did not make any unnecessary noise due to trembling.

The door lock was finally unlocked, and it was her father who stood outside to greet her.

The girl's father slowly raised his right hand, and Alice saw that it was a kitchen knife.

The girl took a few steps back in fear, her body trembling uncontrollably. The man approached with a kitchen knife held high. The girl stepped back cautiously. Suddenly, her feet were unstable and she tripped to the ground. Behind her was a man with four legs of different lengths and a different appearance. The table was broken with holes.

The man reached out and picked up the girl like a chicken. Alice felt that he should have an appropriate expression at this moment, such as a grin or something, but she couldn't see her face clearly and couldn't hear her voice.

The man's right hand was still holding the kitchen knife high. He seemed to be saying something, probably a threat or reprimand. After all, the man who had been sold for money was so frightened, how could he really kill him?

At this moment, all the objects in the screen shook violently at the same time. Alice was not sure whether the screen was shaking or the things inside were shaking.

It wasn't until the next moment that the weak house finally collapsed due to the shaking and the roof was torn apart. Alice didn't confirm that the shaking items were probably objects.

Alice saw a larger piece of debris falling just above the man's head, hitting the man who had not yet stabilized from the shock.

The man's hand became unstable, and the girl fell to the ground together with the kitchen knife. The girl dodged in fear and panic, but the kitchen knife still missed her right eye and fell, leaving a blood mark on her face.

Alice frowned slowly, and she stared at the girl. She saw the girl touching the kitchen knife on the ground with her eyes closed, protecting the book in her arms, and nimbly getting under the table, as if she had practiced her movements skillfully. Thousands of times.

The screen disappeared, and Alice pulled out of her thoughts, looked at Reinette Tinichole beside her, and asked in a deep voice:

"what is that?"

Reinette Tinichole seemed to have anticipated this scene. She explained:

“In the spiritual dust that remains after the death of the shadow of doom, one can see the tragedy that has the strongest appeal to it.

"It's generally useless."

When she said this, Reinette Tinichole glanced at Alice, whose expression suddenly became cautious, and realized that she might be the special one.

While she was thinking, Alice's slightly cold voice sounded:

"You can go back and prepare for the ceremony."

This is an eviction order.

Reinette Tinichole, who was a little familiar with Alice, realized that the information just now was serious enough to change her mood, but she didn't ask anything and disappeared.

…

Klein still scrubs toilets at the hospital, and although he did get a few acting opportunities during his time as a volunteer, he still spends most of his time scrubbing toilets.

He felt that his skills in cleaning toilets had become unprecedentedly proficient, and he no longer had to worry about the toilet being clogged... Well, this was probably not a skill to be proud of.

Suddenly, Klein, who was amusing himself in his mind, felt that the surroundings had become colder. He turned on his spiritual vision, and sure enough, he saw Reinette Tinichole.

Without waiting for him to speak, Reinette Tinichole said directly:

“I sent her the materials she asked for.

“She had just finished buying ice cream, and after seeing me, she brought the ice cream with me back home, and then sat on the sofa and finished the ice cream.

“It’s like I don’t exist.

"Is she usually like this?"

It was "He" last time, why did you think it was "she" now... Klein immediately realized that Reinette Tinichole was still referring to Alice. He was first confused about the personal pronouns and answered at the same time road:

"She might be more extreme normally."

While speaking, he did not stop scrubbing the toilet. Reinette Tinichole looked at him with a confused look, and then asked in a deep voice:

"She's really not your daughter?"

After a moment of silence, Klein followed Alice's lines: "She is my biological daughter who is not related by blood."

A biological daughter who is not related by blood...? Reinette Tinichole felt that she did not understand this passage. He could not understand what Klein wanted to express, so he asked:

"What's the meaning?"

"I don't know," Klein answered honestly, "She said the exact words."

That's right, that's normal... Reinette Tinichole was silent for a moment, then changed the topic without leaving a trace:

"What are the requirements for the making ritual and materials of the 'I'll tell you tomorrow' spell?"

"...'Let's talk tomorrow'?" Klein was seriously confused about the name of this spell.

Reinette Tinichole looked at him for two seconds and realized that Klein might not have heard of this name—perhaps before today, he was the only one besides Alice who knew this name.

Reinette Tinicole realized that she might be the first person to make this spell, so... why did Gehrman know the ritual process? And why did he know the ritual process but never tried to make it?

Reinette Tinicole looked at Gehrman Sparrow who was cleaning the toilet, and a ridiculous guess suddenly popped up in her mind - this ritual couldn't be made up by Gehrman?

This was too ridiculous. Even though Alice looked extremely unreliable, Reinette Tinicole didn't want to keep such a ridiculous guess. She held the last hope and described the effect of the spell:

"This is a spell that can help the user recover to the peak state..."

He tried to introduce the specific effect of "Let's talk about it tomorrow". Klein thought for a while and began to make up the ritual process:

"You can start... then... No, it's not like this, it should be like this..."

The whole ritual process gradually became clear during Klein's narration. He only had trouble with the last spell carrier material:

"This... it should be in the realm of destiny and the level is enough, right...?"

...?

This tone, combined with the previously revised ritual process, made Renette Tinicole realize one thing.

——Her absurd idea was probably true. (End of this chapter)
