Chapter 134: A Gift for the Time Angel
Fors asked curiously, "Mr. Fool, what are the residual characteristics of extraordinary beings?"
Alice, who had learned from her previous mistake of blurting out the acting method, raised her hand before speaking this time: "I know!"
Klein, who was carefully choosing his words, and Audrey, who had just raised her hand, both fell into deep thought.
Audrey, with her hand already raised, carefully phrased her question: "Mr. Fool, may we answer this question on your behalf? She can give you the corresponding payment directly."
Alice bared her teeth threateningly at Mr. Fool.
"...What are you willing to offer as payment?" Klein asked cautiously.
Fors looked at Alice, then at Mr. Fool, and answered carefully, "...How about two more chapters of my spirit world experiences as payment?"
Alice withdrew her threatening gaze and slumped onto the table.
Klein breathed a sigh of relief, but outwardly responded in a nonchalant tone, "That's acceptable."
Alger and Audrey glanced thoughtfully at Alice.
...Why did it feel like Mr. Fool was coddling a child?
Fors sincerely praised, "Thank you, Mr. Fool."
After a moment's thought, she added, "Thank you, Miss 'Fate'."
"You're welcome," Alice said graciously, waving her hand.
Fors and Audrey looked at Alice, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Alger fell silent for a moment, lowering his head and pretending not to exist.
The Tarot Club fell into silence, with no one volunteering to answer Fors's question.
Audrey quietly began to salvage the situation:
"In the extraordinary world, there is a law—remember, it's a law.
"Within similar pathways, the total amount of extraordinary characteristics remains constant. It doesn't decrease or increase; it only transfers from one thing to another, transforming from one form to another.
"So, when an extraordinary being dies, their characteristics separate, equivalent to the main ingredient of a potion. As long as you know the corresponding auxiliary materials, you can use this to concoct a potion of that sequence. Well, except for those left behind by Out of Control beings—those have too many hidden dangers and can only be used to make artifacts."
So, it turns out that in others' eyes, every extraordinary being is a walking potion ingredient... Fors clenched her fists, inwardly sighing at the madness of the extraordinary world.
The transaction was successfully completed. Then, to prevent anyone from accidentally submitting fake diary entries again, Klein began teaching the Tarot Club members about dates.
Compared to the unusually delighted Audrey and others, Alice's absent-mindedness stood out, but no one except Fors was surprised by this.
Miss "Fate" indeed also mastered this type of writing... Is this also what Miss "Fate" referred to as "traces of the past"?
These thoughts flashed through Alger's mind. He quickly focused on listening, but at the same time, a strange idea emerged.
Compared to the lofty Mr. Fool, Alice undoubtedly behaved more like a human child, which means... Perhaps, exciting stories could also be exchanged for something from Miss "Fate"?
No, it shouldn't be an exchange. Rather, if Miss "Fate" is pleased, she might reveal information on her own, and even if she realizes she's being probed, she probably won't get too angry...
Alger seriously considered the possibility of joining the child-coddling camp.
After the Tarot Club meeting, Alice received fresh entries from Roselle's diary, learning about the legendary life of the great navigator Roselle. She then rolled her eyes at Roselle's boastful statements in the diary.
Next, she began preparing the "gift" she planned to send to Amon.
She first took out the bottle of "Provocateur" potion that Amon had given her as a memento, emptied the potion, leaving only the empty bottle.
Then, she stuffed the prepared drawing and message into the bottle, re-corked it, and examined the freshly made "message in a bottle."
Uncertain whether Amon could locate this type of message in a bottle, she decided, after some thought, to send back the avatar as well.
...After all, she always felt that this avatar was like some dangerous time bomb, keeping her on edge!
...
Above the gray fog, Mr. Fool received the "message in a bottle" sent up by Alice.
Recalling Alice's sincere words to him: "I don't really recommend you look at my gift to Amon, but if you really want to see it, I won't stop you."
Klein ultimately couldn't suppress his curiosity. He opened the cork and pulled out the letter inside.
...Wait, who could tell him who that pretty girl in the puff-sleeved princess dress, wearing a monocle and smiling mischievously, was?!
...She didn't show this to Amon already, did she?
At this moment, Klein finally understood why Amon had evaluated Alice as very suitable to be a "Provocateur."
With mixed feelings, Klein opened the letter Alice had written.
『Great Time Angel:
I believe mementos should be chosen by me, don't you think?
It doesn't matter if you don't agree, because I've already accepted your monocle∽
`(*∩_∩*)′
As a matter of courtesy, since you gave me a gift, I should of course send you one in return. I hope you like my drawing∽
(＞＜)☆
Oh, by the way, we like to call this way of communicating by putting letters in bottles "messages in a bottle." However, the traditional "message in a bottle" is thrown into the sea, then randomly picked up by strangers, or randomly finding a stranger's bottle.
Wishing you a pleasant life∽
Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ
Alice, whom you evaluated as very suitable to be a Provocateur』
Klein closed the letter with even more complex feelings.
Alice had drawn vivid emoticons on the letter. Just by reading it, he could feel Alice's joyful mood while writing. His only confusion now was...
Why didn't Amon just force-feed her that bottle of "Provocateur" potion back then!
With an indescribable feeling, he stuffed the letter back in, beginning to regret his earlier actions.
If he hadn't seen the contents of the letter and drawing, he could have given everything to the Little Sun without knowing anything. Now that he had seen it, he couldn't help but think...
When Amon eventually loses patience and kills Alice, would he kill him too?
So... these two were definitely playing around the other day, right? And they seemed to be having a lot of fun?
As for not giving Alice's letter to Amon... Ha, Klein had no doubt that Amon himself had already seen that drawing.
If Amon's personality was similar to Alice's, he probably, maybe, possibly, quite liked this kind of gift...
Liking it while simultaneously wanting to strangle the gift-giver.
