"Cough, cough, cough!" The wine that the boss drank and the words that Klein was about to spit out were stuck in his throat. In the violent coughing, the boss's face turned red. What should a human being do? He should go up and pat the boss on the back. But Alice looked down at the counter between her and the boss, and finally changed to another action. After seeing the boss stop coughing and "spit" the wine back into the bottle, Klein finally realized what happened. He stared at Alice, and Alice responded in confusion: "Why are you looking at me like that? "I just thought that sharing mistresses was a custom in Intis..." "I think," Klein tried to organize his words, "It's just a metaphor. Men in Feysac can't live without wine. Do you understand?" "Oh~" Alice nodded suddenly and turned to the boss, "Do you like drinking as much as you like your mistress? Uh, do you like your mistress very much?" "..." Klein didn't want to talk to her, and Klein also looked at the boss, "You can ignore her. " It seemed a bit strange to discuss the issue of mistresses with a girl who looked like she was not yet an adult, even though it was rumored that this girl was supporting the crazy adventurer German Sparrow. The boss finally accepted Klein's suggestion and did not answer Alice's question. Instead, he asked German Sparrow:
"Who introduced you?" Anyway, after this episode, he didn't seem to plan to touch his wine for the time being. "Ms. Gertmuth." Klein replied. The boss exhaled and stood up staggeringly, looking clumsy. The smell of alcohol spread in the air. Alice frowned and glanced at the brown-green wine bottle still on the table with ill intent. So when the boss finished instructing the clerk and led them away, Alice fell behind and picked up the bottle and poured a sip into her mouth. "Pfft, pfft, pfft! "She spat out the wine and placed the bottle heavily on the counter. Such a movement successfully startled the boss and Klein and made them turn their heads, but Alice didn't pay attention to it. After spitting twice, she realized that this could not eliminate the unique spicy taste of high-concentration alcohol. After hesitating for a moment between restarting and drinking water, she put on Amon's monocle. It works really well. Klein, who fully understood everything, had an urge to put his hand on his forehead. He didn't dare to look at the boss's eyes at all, but just shouted to Alice expressionlessly: "Come here. " Alice's movements froze. She glanced at Klein's face carefully and whispered: "I just wonder why they like to drink it so much..." After all, it smells bad. Klein turned his head to look at the boss. After staring at him for a few seconds, the boss seemed to have received some wrong instructions, turned around and continued to stagger forward. ... You can't argue with a drunk person. Klein silently turned his eyes away and looked at Alice. ... Forget it, you can't argue with a child. He sighed helplessly, turned around and followed the boss.
Alice blinked twice on the spot, thinking that this was a sign that Klein didn't care about her, and trotted after him. They followed the boss all the way to the small room on the second floor of the warehouse at the back, and then saw the boss squatting down with a sway. "Let me find it, let me find it..." he muttered. This scene made Klein have the same doubts as Alice for a moment - is it really that delicious? ? Maybe I should have tasted it just now... Damn it, I won't be infected by Alice, right? He glanced at Alice, who was standing in a messy position, and immediately stood up straight. The drunken boss finally found a crystal ball from the pile of sundries. He rubbed the crystal ball with both hands, and Alice heard a difficult and awkward ancient Hermes language. The room gradually became dim, and all the dark corners suddenly became deep, as if emitting a strange attraction. The crystal ball was here The atmosphere became bright, and a woman in a black classical robe emerged. She had an oval face, very white skin, and dark purple eyes, full of mystery. Ms. Hermit...? Alice tilted her head and said nothing. Klein stepped forward and took the crystal ball from the boss. Cattleya, who was opposite the crystal ball, also saw the appearance of German Sparrow. She stared slightly and asked hesitantly: "German Sparrow?" She had decided in advance not to explore the true identity of the "world". Therefore, Cattleya was a little surprised when she saw German Sparrow, but she quickly remembered a rumor that seemed too bizarre in this situation. I heard that the crazy adventurer German Sparrow was kept by an underage girl. Could it be...? Alice, who had just driven the owner away, jumped up beside Klein at this time, completely answering Cattleya's doubts. "Ms. Hermit! "She shouted happily. This title made Klein suddenly realize something. In order to prevent Alice from suddenly calling out Mr. Fool in front of others one day, he turned his head and reminded her: "Call me by my name." "To prevent others from hearing me." "Ms. Cattleya." Alice changed her words obediently. She actually understood Klein's hint, but Klein's distrust made Alice very angry, and she decided to do something. After staring at Cattleya for a few seconds, she reached out and pushed the monocle on her right eye. Before she could speak, Klein patted her head hard. The plan to pretend to be Amon and say hello was forced to end. Alice pulled off her monocle angrily and suddenly asked Klein as if she remembered something: "The monocle I asked you to make for me before..." "I'll give it to you when I get back." Klein said lightly. So Alice quieted down, and Klein asked Cattleya:
"When do we leave?" Their relationship is very good... much better than I thought. At least, Miss Fate looks really obedient... Cattleya felt a little relieved, and she answered Klein's question: "Tonight at 8 o'clock, Pier 6." "Okay." Klein nodded slightly, and then found that he couldn't lift his head. ——Alice was standing on tiptoe and reaching out to press his head down. The light in the crystal ball dimmed quickly after Klein finished speaking, and Cattleya disappeared in an instant. It was obvious that even the "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya did not want to intervene in this farce. She even gave up asking about the origin of the bizarre rumor. However, from this point of view, some people think that it is normal for Miss Destiny to support Gehrman Sparrow... On the "Future", in the captain's room, Cattleya looked at the crystal ball and thought slightly absent-mindedly. (End of this chapter)
