That night, Klein put on the gray mist to "sterilize" his mental state, and took out the materials to make a new talisman before lying back on the bed and trying to fall asleep.

But it wasn't until he tossed and turned for a long time that he finally managed to fall asleep in a daze. At the same time, there were still countless speculations flying in his mind——

Could Alice's abnormal behavior be related to the "happy" question he has never been able to ask?

Or is this just another prank, just like before...

But this was obviously beyond the scope of a prank, it was simply a challenge to his male self-esteem!

Could it be that she has fallen in love with him... No, no, no matter how you think about it, this is not the case. Something is really wrong with her today!

Maybe something happened tonight that aroused her... So what could have happened that would have made her take the initiative to stick to someone and still gasp in a sweet voice?

This question is out of scope!

No, tomorrow... I must find a chance to ask tomorrow... Otherwise, otherwise, he will threaten her with missing the dinner!

This is a good idea, okay, let’s do it like this...

Hmm, I wonder what delicious food will be available tomorrow night——

...As a result, the next morning, in front of Benson and Melissa, Klein had no nerve to call Alice over for a private conversation, so he could only act as if nothing had happened and finished today's breakfast absentmindedly.

Fortunately, he had informed his siblings about Saturday night's arrangements in advance yesterday. Of course, he used the excuse of going out to watch a play with Alice, otherwise it would have been another painful execution...

Alice, on the other hand, couldn't see anything strange at all, and explained to the two brothers and sisters about her late return yesterday.

The relevant topic was turned over, and both Melissa and Benson seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as if they had silently removed some outrageous speculations from their minds.

Klein, who was drinking warm tea to soothe her throat, said to her heart that it would be great if things were really as she said. Someone hired by the family discovered her whereabouts, so she met with a neutral elder and enjoyed the meal together.

Had dinner...

If he believed her nonsense, he should have his brain checked by a surgeon. Well, the surgical operating rooms in this world seem to be quite bloody...

Stop it, stop it, stop thinking about it.

After drinking the last sip of tea in the cup, Klein put the morning newspaper in his hand back on the sofa coffee table, stood up and started to put on his coat. At the same time, he smiled at the three people in the living room and signaled that it was time to go to work.

It wasn't until he stepped out of the house that Alice finally took the initiative to chase him and stopped him at the corner of the townhouse.

"Klein, come here, I'll give you something good."

Facing a certain vial that Alice handed over with a smile, Klein subconsciously took a step back, not daring to reach out to take it.

"What's this?"

Alice didn't seem to see his caution, and seemed to be in a good mood as she patiently explained:

"It seems like you couldn't sleep well last night, so this is compensation. It's a potion that can replenish your energy after drinking it. It has no additives... well, no side effects. It's much easier to use than those messy potions of yours."

Replenish energy?!

Klein felt a little blushing for a moment, and it wasn't until he heard her add another sentence that he was able to maintain his expression.

"It's a specialty I brought from 'over there', specially used to relieve fatigue."

...Oh, relieve fatigue...that's what it means.

Klein wanted to refuse, but in the end, with a frugal mentality and a little bit of curiosity, he reached out and took the small bottle that was five or six centimeters high, with a narrow mouth and a wide belly.

After observing the light green clear solvent contained in the bottle, he carefully stared at the wonderful lines near the mouth of the bottle for a few times, and suddenly tasted a certain detail from Alice's words just now:

"Our messy potions...do you know what's going on with the potions 'over here'?"

Since the two of them were standing on the street at this time, it was considered a quite public occasion. In order not to reveal the existence of the mysterious side, Klein had to choose a very subtle question.

"I have a rough understanding of some things...such as the expiration date after preparation." And the perfunctory operations when preparing potions...

Alice did not express her innermost thoughts, but this did not prevent her from showing her true attitude in her expression and tone.

When Klein heard this, his heart moved, and an idea that he had once suppressed showed signs of being stirred up:

During the battle with the Tuxedo Clown on Thursday, he came into contact with the extraordinary-level medicine "Goddess' Gaze" for the first time. It has an effect similar to adrenaline and can temporarily stimulate the spirit of the extraordinary and maintain his condition; but this medicine

It is not the healing potion that he, a former game enthusiast, yearns for, because its healing properties will continue to evaporate after the production is completed, and it cannot be saved as a normal means of recovery...

If, he means if...

Since Alice was able to take out this bottle of light green energy potion for him, does that mean that...she holds at least more than one bottle of potion in her hand? And the type may not be limited to this one...

"Then, I want to ask...well, just asking," Klein finally couldn't help the impulse in his heart and tentatively said, "Do you have any potion over there that can treat injuries? I am

Refers to potions used to treat trauma and wounds..."

Because he was afraid that bystanders who might pass by at any time would hear the conversation, he approached the girl and lowered his voice to ask this question.

Alice didn't have as many worries as he did. She just looked at him with a strange expression and replied:

"Yes, but you are not injured, right? Or did you accidentally injure yourself after last night?"

What does it mean to make a wound on oneself... Why does it always sound like something is wrong?

Klein forced himself not to think in strange directions and quickly explained:

"I'm not hurt, I'm just asking!"

After two seconds, he added angrily: "...Can you give me another one? I want more...the kind that can treat wounds...potion." As he said that, he shook it.

He shook the medicine bottle in his hand as a signal.

...Would this be too much?

Just when Klein was worried about the reasonableness of his request, he suddenly saw Alice seemed stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and covered her mouth and laughed softly.

"You - why do you think I gave you this bottle of potion?"

It's not to make up for last night... Klein suddenly recalled the question he wanted to ask her, and was about to ask, but he heard Alice continue talking quickly.

"I'm not worried that you will be out of energy at night and something will happen during the dinner party... As for the potion you mentioned, well, I will prepare the portion for you, so don't worry yet."

She pushed the bottle of light green potion back into Klein's hand, and then changed the topic to the arrangements for the dinner:

"At four-thirty in the afternoon, five o'clock at the latest, look for a carriage with a fleur-de-lis on the carriage at the gate of 35 Halls Street. It will take you to the place where you change your dinner dress. I will wait for you there. Call

On the way to the banquet decoration, I will explain some precautions to you, of course, including the potions that you are concerned about... Is there any time problem with such an arrangement? "

"My job allows me to have relatively free choices in the afternoon... It should be no problem." After going through the process in his mind, Klein thought for a moment and gave the answer.

"Okay, then I look forward to seeing you again in the afternoon." Alice smiled when she heard this and immediately waved her hand to say goodbye to him.

…I always feel like I’ve forgotten something.

Klein frowned and was about to think carefully, but he heard her add: "If I don't leave, will I be late?"

Well, it's not good to be late, especially when the approval to become a formal member has not yet come out. He doesn't want to be said to have a bad work attitude...

Thinking of this, Klein temporarily suppressed the strange feeling of forgetting something, said goodbye to Alice, and turned around to walk to the intersection where he usually takes the public carriage.

It wasn't until he sat down in the empty seat of the carriage that Klein remembered that he had forgotten to ask Alice about last night.

"Afternoon, afternoon must be..." He tapped his forehead and whispered to himself.

…

At four-thirty in the afternoon, Klein walked out of the Fortune Teller Club on time and strolled slowly to the address Alice told him in the morning. He opened his pocket watch and saw that exactly five minutes had passed.

So he got on a carriage with an iris emblem at the entrance of the store with the sign of Ten Bells Bar. Of course, he did not forget to use the gold coin divination method for final confirmation.

After that, the carriage left the Halls neighborhood, and the scene outside the window gradually began to become unfamiliar. Klein could only identify from the general direction that he had arrived in the East District.

After driving smoothly for five or six minutes, the carriage stopped in front of a three-story building with guardrails and a small green garden facing the street.

Klein pushed the door open and got out of the car, stood at the bottom of the stairs and looked around at the inside of the open door.

A manservant dressed as a servant seemed to notice his arrival and came out to confirm the identity of the visitor.

After Klein reported his name, the male servant nodded to him and motioned for him to follow him.

So Klein relaxed and followed the valet to the second floor while admiring the obviously elegant furniture and decoration in the room.

He fully thought that he would see Alice soon and learn more about the arrangements for the dinner from her; but in the end, he was only taken to an empty living room with sofas, cabinets, desks, and exquisite

There is a fireplace, a clock and a full-length mirror, as well as a mobile clothes rack with a top hat and a complete black tuxedo, a box containing various accessories, and a pair of shiny leather shoes on the ground next to it.

"I wonder if you need help changing your clothes..."

Klein could feel the manservant's eyes lingering on his cheap formal clothes for a few seconds before he asked in a confused and tactful tone, as if he was concerned about his mood.

I know how to wear a formal suit, and it’s not that I don’t have a decent formal suit. It’s just that it was torn and had to be repaired. The reimbursement has not been paid yet, so I can’t buy a replacement...

Klein wanted to explain, but felt that it was more inappropriate to say so, so he pursed his lips and replied stiffly:

"Thank you, but no need."

Fortunately, the other party didn't confirm it to him again, otherwise Klein would have felt like he was going to die.

With a very cautious and meticulous attitude, Klein put on a tuxedo that was obviously more upscale. He stood in front of the full-length mirror and smoothed out a few wrinkles. During this process, he couldn't help but feel the materials of his shirt and jacket with his fingertips.

Delicate texture.

Not to mention, they fit surprisingly well and don't feel tight when moving. The size of the shoes is also just right. After wearing them, there is a heightening effect of three to five centimeters, making the whole person look taller and taller.

It's like it was tailor-made for him, and it feels better than the suit that cost nearly a thousand dollars in his wardrobe before time travel...
