"Is it still too late to change your mind and say guess..."

Just like at the end of a dance, two people dressed in costumes exchanged plain words with no important meaning, held each other's hands, and left the bright ballroom where the lights were still bright.

This silent and fragmented space has regained its tranquility, as if it keeps secrets and silence endlessly.

And when they walked out of the mirror world full of fantasy and weird colors and returned to the three-story building in the East District of Tingen City, Klein couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the familiar furniture and ornaments in front of him.

"Spells are so convenient. It took more than an hour to ride in a carriage, but it only took a few minutes to get back... Is it possible that you can come and go freely like this quickly wherever you have been?"

"Theoretically, as long as there is a mirror, it is feasible to cross the entire continent. However, the problem with doing so is that it consumes a lot of magic power... Moreover, it is impossible to use mirror transfer when you are not familiar with the terrain and do not have a magic beacon.

Spells are too dangerous. It’s okay if I’m alone, but why don’t I take you with me..."

As if she felt the sad look that Klein was looking at her, Alice couldn't help laughing, waving her hands to explain.

"No, I didn't mean to be a burden to you, but this is... well, it should be said to be a physical problem. Imagine if the opposite mirror connected to the transfer spell is a hand-held makeup mirror that is only the size of the palm of your hand.

, do you think you can pass through such a narrow door?"

Klein thought carefully about the hypothesis she gave and found... It seemed to be the case. The entrance and exit of the two times he entered and exited the mirror world were at least taller than his height and could completely reflect the full image of the human body.

mirror.

But since Alice would say something like this, it means that she is not limited by the size of the entrance or exit.

"Is this related to the physical problem you mentioned?" Klein couldn't help but be curious, his mind was active and divergent, and he thought of strange places, "... Could it be that your true body is actually some kind of goblin living in the mirror?

Are you free to choose to be bigger or smaller?”

Alice was obviously stunned for a moment, then she lowered her head and covered her lips and smiled softly.

"You are really thoughtful... But I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm not a goblin. And most goblins don't like civilizations like humans who like to build social systems. They only show love for the things they are obsessed with.

, is a simple but extremely troublesome creature."

Her description of the goblin is quite consistent with Klein's impression.

but……

"Did you pause before you answered just now? And by explaining so much, is it really not because of a guilty conscience?"

Faced with his doubts, Alice just glanced flatly.

"You are overthinking."

Perhaps because of the special nature of tonight, Klein couldn't restrain his curiosity about the girl in front of him. Even though he was clearly rejected by the other party, he still wanted to ask further, but in the end he was disrupted by her joking tone.

"Okay, it's time to change out of this party dress. If you don't go home, your sister may start thinking about names for her future nephews or nieces."

After understanding the meaning behind Alice's words, Klein felt his face heat up instantly. He no longer bothered to explore whether she was hiding something. He responded calmly, watched her leave the room, and closed the door behind him.

superior.

"By the way, this formal suit...after you change it, can you put it on the hanger next to it?"

After rubbing his tuxedo jacket with some reluctance, Klein remembered this crucial matter, so he stopped Alice and asked her.

She probably had never seen such an honest person, and there was a funny and helpless look on her face.

"This suit is made to your size... If you don't like it or don't want it, you can keep it here, hang it on a hanger, or throw it in the trash."

Klein tried to pretend he wasn't surprised.

"Well, that's such a waste. I'd better take this formal suit away. It looks decent enough... Can I take away all the other accessories?"

Alice said it was up to him, and even pointed out that there should be a paper bag for clothes under the desk, and asked him to go and find it.

When Klein changed into his simple but comfortable cheap formal clothes, carried tonight's loot, and got into a taxi with Alice, who had also changed into regular clothes, he seemed to have finally recovered from tonight's unreal experience.

I woke up from my dream, looked out the window and let out a long sigh of relief.

A luxurious dinner, delicious dishes and desserts, all kinds of fragrances, wine glasses shaking with candlelight...

These things are beautiful, but they are too far away from his life, and they are destined to remain in his heart only as dream-like memories.

It was a quarter past nine at night, and the kerosene-burning street lamps on the street kept flying backwards in Klein's field of vision.

The taxi drove forward quietly, passing by the doors and windows of darkened or illuminated buildings one after another along the street. In the distance, the tall and majestic circular dome of the Orkney Theater could be seen dimly, illuminated brilliantly and brilliantly by the lights.

It seems that it coincides with the end of a drama. There are many taxi drivers with carriages and horses wandering or waiting beside this long street, making the street look a little more congested.

"Drama...is this also included in your calculations?" Suddenly recalling the excuse he made for Benson and Melissa to go out tonight, it seemed that it happened to be the drama that had just ended. Klein turned to look

The girl in the long skirt with her hair pulled up to the opposite side has a slightly complicated expression.

"It's just a coincidence." Alice smiled back at him.

And it wasn't until he stepped off the carriage and walked on the familiar Daffodil Street that Klein finally asked a question that had been on his mind for a long time.

"You mean how much it cost to order this formal suit?" Alice stopped and turned to him, with a slightly evil smile on her face, "I don't know the exact price, but what you and I are wearing tonight are

The two sets of dresses cost a total of about 2,500 pounds... Well, because they were hand-made under a tight time limit, I probably spent several times more in expedited fees."

2,500 pounds... Even if it is evenly divided, it is 1,250 pounds... enough to buy the townhouse they live in now, with an extra 400 pounds...

Klein lowered his head sluggishly and looked at the inconspicuous paper bag in his hand. A simple and simple thought flashed through his sluggish mind.
