After talking with Old Neil, Alice returned home. After thinking of Old Neil's view that "no matter where you are, people who love you will want you to be happy", Alice hesitated for a moment and tried to integrate into this era again. In fact, Alice did try it in Tingen City, but she just had a sense of belonging... After thinking for a while, Alice decided to start by visiting the neighbors - she had moved in for so many days, and she had never considered getting to know the neighbors. It was really wrong! ... "Good evening, Mrs. Greenland," Alice smiled softly as she looked at the lady who opened the door of Room 35 in front of her. "I moved to Room 36 recently. My name is Brielle Rose. I'm sorry that I haven't had time to visit you." "Oh, so you're the new one next door!" Mrs. Greenland smiled gently. "Hello, Miss Rose, would you like to come in and sit for a while?" "Sorry to bother you," Alice followed her in. "Just call me Brielle." "Oh, Brielle," Mrs. Greenland took Alice into the living room. "I've noticed that a new neighbor has moved in next door. I've been wondering when I can see you... What would you like to drink? Black tea or coffee?" "Coffee," Alice, who was not used to being an adult, hesitated for a moment. "I've been busy packing up in the past few days. I didn't have time until recently. After all, this is my first time moving and I don't have much experience..." "Do you live alone? Don't get me wrong, I just think you don't look very old." Mrs. Greenland asked in surprise.
"Yes, I live alone," Alice let herself lower her head, her eyelashes trembling, showing a little loneliness, "I, something happened in my family, so..." "I'm sorry to hear this," Mrs. Greenland's expression showed a hint of apology and kindness, "But, you know, I actually have a daughter who is about your age." "Huh?" Alice looked up in surprise. "She is 17 years old this year... well, two years younger than you, but it's a pity that she is not at home today. She went to visit a friend, otherwise you can get to know her - little girls should play more with their peers." Mrs. Greenland handed Alice the coffee with sugar. Alice picked up the cup and took a sip. When she found that the bitterness was still within her acceptable range, she breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help thinking: In fact, according to my real age, she should be older than me... In the following time, under Alice's guidance, Mrs. Greenland introduced her daughter Evelyn Greenland to Alice. After observing that the time was almost up, Alice got up and said goodbye, returned home, closed the door, leaned against it, and then instantly lost the maturity and pretended strength she had shown before, raised her hand to make a V sign, jumped up and said: "Yeah!" After the excitement, Alice became lost again and sighed for a long time: "Alas... I don't know if I will have the chance to see you all again..." The feeling of missing is always particularly strong when you are alone and free. In order not to indulge in sadness, Alice decided-she would harass Klein! … Let's not talk about how Klein expressed his dissatisfaction with Alice's behavior. In short, in the next few days, Alice lived a life of getting up in the morning to pray in church, rushing to finish the manuscript during the day, and then randomly visiting a lucky neighbor every day. Without having to conceive the plot herself, Alice's speed of rushing to finish the manuscript was incredibly fast...I mean, she successfully made a new work under the name of Briar Rose. Alice, who had earned her first pot of gold, was so excited that she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. She seemed bored and prayed to Mr. Fool... Well, this is reasonable. But Alice didn't receive a reply from Mr. Fool. "Maybe, maybe he's not convenient to reply now, he's stalking outside or something..." Alice fell into a deep sleep with a hint of uneasiness without receiving a reply. The next day, Alice still didn't receive a reply from Mr. Fool. It doesn't matter, this is normal... normal! Even if Klein went to the gray fog and scolded her for being sick, he would not not reply to the message! Alice hesitated for a moment, and didn't rashly go to Klein like this - she decided to try divination first.
Silently reciting "Klein's current situation", then sinking into the dream, and exiting the dream with a confused face, Alice finally realized why she could look directly at Klein - that guy who didn't know who gave Klein an anti-divination specifically for her! Ah, this is really... Alice gritted her teeth and began to think about how to solve this matter. Of course she knew Klein's address, but the question was - what excuse would she use to find Klein? "It shouldn't be too much for me to find a private detective... right?" Alice said to herself and set off. ... The moment he saw Alice, Klein understood why Alice came to him. Because Miss Wrathful Soul couldn't reply to his message when he couldn't go to the gray fog! But couldn't she tell fortunes? "Hello, do you need a commission?" Klein asked in accordance with his identity setting, and he began to pray that Alice could understand his hint. "...I can't find my manuscript." Alice blinked twice, looked at Klein who was desperately winking at her, and began to think about whether he wanted to say that he was not convenient to talk now or that he was kidnapped. "I still have unfinished commissions, so it may not be convenient for me to help you for the time being." Klein emphasized "not convenient for the time being". "Ah, that's a pity." Alice understood Klein's hint, let herself show disappointment, and left Klein's house. In any case, it's good that nothing happened. Alice warned herself and began to wait quietly for Klein to reply. ... When Alice appeared above the gray fog in her dream, she had to admit that she was a little confused. This couldn't be blamed on her. Anyone who encountered such a thing in the middle of sleep would be stunned for a moment, but in comparison, Alice would suspect that Klein was deliberately taking revenge. "You don't sleep... huh?" Alice, who was about to question, discovered the world of dummy people. She subconsciously closed her mouth, and then found that this guy would not move at all, "What are you doing?" "Let me introduce myself, this is our new member of the Tarot Club." Klein showed off his trumpet to Alice. "How did you do that?" Alice walked over curiously and looked at the dummy world for a while. She didn't see any flaws except that it was lifeless, so she stretched out her hand and played with the dummy world. "Hey!" Klein hurriedly stopped Alice's behavior, "What are you doing!" The author was surrounded by snow, but the cat disappeared. Wait for me to find the cat (……)
