Chapter 201: Was Mr. Fool Once a Caregiver?
Alice's question successfully plunged the Tarot Club into an awkward silence before the meeting officially began.
Audrey stared blankly at Alice, a great sense of dread rising in her heart.
Alice didn't give off a strong "divine" vibe. Although she could sometimes feel that intimidating aura and Alice often said strange things, overall, Alice's image was still relatively gentle.
No, it couldn't be called gentle... Recalling Alice's speech last week, Audrey corrected her judgment.
Alice's image was not gentle but rather that of a naive child, full of curiosity about the world and lacking proper guidance.
In any case, she probably wouldn't say something as bizarre as "calling clothes skin."
...So, what could make her habitually call clothes skin? Could it be that Miss Destiny changes her skin like ordinary people change clothes...
This terrifying thought made Audrey's face turn pale. Of course, she wasn't the only one scared, but the reactions of the others varied greatly.
The Hanged Man, Alger, lowered his head upon hearing Alice's words, adhering to his usual principle—play dead.
He was long accustomed to Alice blurting out strange things and her completely different way of thinking from ordinary people. Therefore, he understood that in such situations, he just needed to play dead and watch Mr. Fool and The World's reactions.
Did she mean that skin is clothes? Or that she habitually mixes up clothes and skin? That would be even scarier, wouldn't it?
Klein pondered for a moment before manipulating The World to speak:
"Good afternoon, Miss Destiny."
But... what else should he say?
Alice fell into deep thought.
Look, what a dedicated bestselling author—if she hadn't collapsed in her chair in terror the next second.
In fact, the main thing that made Alice seem strange was her matter-of-fact attitude when she said this.
"You used to be so idle? I thought you had to take at least ten hours of classes a day."
The Sun, Derrick, was the calmest among them. He wasn't really scared because all sorts of things happened daily in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, and he had seen monsters far scarier than Alice.
But Derrick had never seen the ice cream-loving child. In his mind, Miss Destiny of the Tarot Club was a deity with a child's intellect.
As a bestselling author, The Magician, Fors, had a different reaction. Amid her fear, she thought—this line is perfect for a horror novel!
To deities, this indeed seemed like a matter of course.
Amid Alice's confusion and the others' fear, Klein realized the core issue of the whole matter—Ruen didn't have video game skins!
But this was a difficult problem to explain. Firstly, having Mr. Fool explain it personally was out of the question. Probably only The World was suitable for this task.
And with the impact of Alice counting on her fingers how many times she had died, The Moon, Emlyn, accepted it well.
—After all, last time, she had also said something terrifying with an innocent face.
This sentence barely served as a reminder because Alice realized from it that she no longer needed to take ten hours of classes a day and couldn't play games either.
In Ruen, where video games hadn't appeared, calling clothes skin was a terrifying thing... No wonder they were so scared.
After deeply reflecting on herself, Alice replied, "It's because I had to take classes for so long that I have a deep impression of other things..."
The Hanged Man, Alger, glanced at Alice and The World, his heart skipping a beat, but his face remained calm.
Classes... what kind of classes? And for ten hours a day?
Learning knowledge was a rare and expensive opportunity in this era, and Alice's state suggested she was likely forced to attend classes...
Based on Ruen's current situation, Alger began to think about who would be forced to go to school when knowledge was so expensive.
Thinking about Miss Destiny's personality, Alger believed he understood everything.
This wasn't just Alger's thought. Connecting Alice's attitude towards classes, Justice, Audrey, also suspected that someone didn't want Miss Destiny to cause trouble.
As for who... Audrey respectfully glanced at Mr. Fool at the head of the bronze long table, silently praising him.
A perfect misunderstanding was thus achieved.
Mr. Fool didn't know he had become a parent. After confirming the atmosphere had eased, he leaned back in his chair, becoming a quiet fixture.
Realizing Audrey didn't seem to have any intention of greeting further and no one else took the initiative to speak, Alice asked:
"Does anyone here specialize in lifting curses? Or know someone who does?"
Alger was slightly taken aback and instinctively glanced at Mr. Fool in the gray fog.
Alice noticed his gaze and pouted, "Do you want me to imitate Him?"
Alger looked at Miss Destiny, then at Mr. Fool, regretting that he hadn't held back that glance.
Audrey's curiosity was piqued. She remembered Alice once commented that Mr. Fool was completely different in private from what they saw.
So... does Mr. Fool get exasperated by Miss Destiny in private?
Audrey ultimately didn't direct this look at Mr. Fool but sympathetically glanced at The World and asked, "What?"
Alice then imitated Klein's tone at the time and said:
"I remember you quite liked Amon's monocle, didn't you? Now you can wear it all the time. Isn't that great?"
This tone full of comfort and emotion left Audrey and Alger momentarily speechless. A strange thought emerged: Mr. Fool seems quite lively in private...
No, that's not right—no one can keep a straight face in front of Miss Destiny, not even someone as significant as Mr. Fool!
This blame was successfully shifted to Alice. Meanwhile, everyone keenly noticed another key figure in this conversation—Amon.
Did Miss Destiny really go to play with Amon? This doubt simultaneously appeared in Audrey, Alger, Derrick, and Fors' minds.
Only The Moon, Emlyn, who wasn't present when Amon first appeared, asked, "Amon? Who is that?"
