…

Fatigue and nervousness, the discomfort of the first murder and the panic of facing the strange corpse were intertwined. When he returned home and lay down, Klein couldn't help but have his thoughts confused. It was not until a long time later that he fell asleep.

And when he woke up and had dinner with his family...well, Alice, too, Klein felt that he was finally alive again.

Well, let’s not tell Benson and Melissa about the promotion yet.

I just got back 5 pounds of "welfare income" last week, and this week my weekly salary has doubled. Benson and the others probably can't accept this obviously abnormal situation, and they will probably think that he has joined some dangerous organization that licks blood...

Although this is not too different from the truth, Klein still feels that one more thing is worse than one less thing, so as to save his family from worrying about him.

And there is——

As he was stretching and thinking about future arrangements, he suddenly heard his sister Melissa say:

"By the way, Klein, you have another letter arrived."

His stretching movement paused momentarily, until the second half of Melissa's words drifted over:

"The signature seems to be that of your mentor."

...I was so scared! I almost thought it was another strange letter!

Klein silently patted his chest, recalling that he had previously written a letter to ask his mentor about the historical situation of "Honakis Main Peak", soothing his heart that almost stopped beating.

He took the perfectly normal letter from his sister, cut the envelope with a knife, opened it and read it.

The answers mentioned by the instructor in the letter were also very detailed. After reading, Klein took out the letter paper and pen, carefully considered the words and wrote a reply letter of thanks.

By the time he wrote his name on the signature line, put away the pen, and packed the letter, Alice, who usually went to bed early, had already returned to the room on the second floor, so Klein felt even more relaxed and smiled in the name of postage.

I gave Melissa a lot of pocket money.

——To be honest, after having that strange dream, he never knew how to face Alice... Fortunately, a lot of things happened today, and this little trouble seemed to be nothing, not to mention that today he

There is no chance to be alone with her...

Klein's mind wandered for a while and he thought about a lot of things.

At this moment, Melissa stood up, walked to the sofa where he and Benson were sitting, cleared her throat, and asked her two brothers if they wanted to attend the birthday dinner held by her classmate Selena on Sunday.

Both Klein and Benson nodded happily, but the former noticed that Melissa showed a subtle look of disapproval, pointing directly at him.

Well, I just wanted to get to know more of my sister's friends so that I could ask someone if something happens in the future... Why did she react like this?

Seeing that Klein seemed completely unaware of the problem, Melissa sighed helplessly:

"Klein, Selena's family...well, I remember what I told you before, the conditions are pretty good, and the nature of the dinner held is also an exchange meeting between middle-class families...Of course, I'm not saying that our family is not good enough.

Qualified, but you have to know that the nature of a single man going to a banquet is close to looking for a suitable marriage partner. So, you don’t have to force yourself..."

Klein finally came to his senses after hearing this: Melissa was worried that Alice would misunderstand him going to that birthday dinner!

But he wants to go...

And if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that although his sister and Alice have a good relationship, they are not in a relationship that allows him to invite her to a friend's house for a dinner. Besides, inviting his brother's girlfriend to a classmate's birthday party sounds like a ridiculous thing.

Very strange...

Wait, why did he also put Alice in the position of his girlfriend?

Klein shook his head to get rid of this strange habitual thought, tried his best to put on a serious expression and insisted:

"No, I think we should follow the etiquette of the Moretti family. Melissa, think about it, if only you and Benson go to the banquet and I am absent, will your friends misunderstand you?

My other brother is an arrogant person? Anyway, I think our family should go out together on Sunday. As for Alice...well, I will tell her, and she will definitely understand my choice."

After finishing speaking, this time even Benson showed a look that looked like he was seeing a scumbag.

"Klein, for the first time, I find that you seem to have the talent to be a politician. This reason makes it hard to fault, but I always feel that something is not right..."

…

After finally dealing with Benson and Melissa's prejudice against him, Klein returned to the room, took a shower, put on the old shirt and loose trousers he wore before, and prepared to sit down at his desk to sort out what happened today.

thing.

At this moment, there was a knock on his door.

He went over to open the door and found that it was Alice standing in the corridor.

"Klein, I forgot to ask you when I came back. Are you free this weekend?"

She asked very directly, and Klein was startled, almost thinking that she heard the birthday party topic discussed by his three brothers and sisters just now.

"Well, I have something to do on Sunday night, so it's not convenient..."

He hesitated and expressed his arrangement tactfully.

Alice was not affected by his tone and slightly raised her lips and smiled:

"It just so happens that I have a dinner invitation here. It's Saturday night. Are you willing to attend as my male companion?"

...Why is it a dinner party again? Attending dinner parties for two days in a row, he almost felt like he was an upper class person!

Out of a certain youthful and ignorant mood, and the fact that the anti-charm amulet that had replenished his spiritual power began to feel hot in his pocket again, Klein subconsciously refused:

"Dinner... I have never attended any formal dinner. If I don't understand the etiquette and make a joke..."

Before he could say the words of rejection, Alice seemed to have remembered something again, raised her hand and tapped her lips:

"It's okay, you don't need to think about these issues, including clothes, including etiquette, these are not the focus. Because... well, it was a dinner party hosted by the 'witch', and I always feel that it doesn't seem right to ask other people to accompany me.

It’s appropriate, after all—”

...Wait, did he hear it correctly? A dinner party hosted by the witch?!

Klein was slightly stunned, and even couldn't help but hold his breath at her protracted tone.

"It's like this. I plan to sneak in disguised as a witch and let someone else be my male companion. I'm worried that my acting skills will be so good that people will really believe in my identity as a 'witch'. So, can you..."

Alice did not say the following request, but the meaning in her eyes was very clear and straightforward: Please help me!

After two seconds of silence as if he was thinking, Klein kept his mind blank and said blankly: "Please let me think about it."

After saying that, he immediately closed the door, took out the gold coin with the pattern of flying dragon and lion from his pocket, and then entered a semi-meditative state, throwing the gold coin high and catching it.
Chapter completed!
