"Yes, what's the matter?"

Alice tilted her head and seemed to think about it for a moment.

"Something happened...I can't tell you. I just wanted to inform you. I will be planning to move out of your house when my potion research is almost finished, which is about a month from now."

Move out of... his house?

Klein was stunned for a moment: "...Why is it so sudden?"

"When I came to live at your house, didn't I make a sudden decision?" She smiled and curved her mouth and eyebrows, her expression so gentle that she did not reveal her inner bad character at all.

"..." He wanted to say something, but for some reason the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say anything.

Why...his first thought was this, to ask her why she wanted to leave, and then make targeted suggestions to retain her...

No, no, there are too many unknown factors in her. Staying away from the Moretti family, Benson and Melissa is equivalent to keeping him and his family away from the possibility of being involved in risks. That's not...

Isn't that pretty good...

Good……

"What's wrong? You have a reluctant expression on your face. Don't you want me to leave?" Alice said with a smile that made Klein blush, but she didn't care about his feelings and sent straight and sharp words to him one after another.

In his heart, "But haven't you noticed that if you continue to get along with me like this, you will one day give your sincerity to me and fall hopelessly..."

"I... you... how is that possible!" Klein stammered, interrupting her confident and narcissistic declaration, and tried to clarify for himself, "You, you are saying that I... I will do it to you

...producing love? No, it's just because you have that uncontrollable charm ability that makes me easily confused by your thoughts...I, my true thoughts, won't, it's impossible..."

She smiled and said nothing, as if she had seen through his poor acting skills and the wavering deep in his soul.

After forcibly explaining the adverse effects of being charmed, Klein nodded firmly:

"Yes, maybe I have to admit that I don't hate you now... I still have a good impression of you, but it's far from the level of sincerity and depravity!"

And I don’t know how much truth you have told me and how much you have concealed. I don’t want to be like Leonard and foolishly fall into the false tenderness you created.

Of course, I also have many secrets that I cannot tell others...

He said silently in his heart.

"So," Alice crossed her hands and fingers, smiling in front of her lips, "I plan to leave in a month, just to prevent you from falling into the tangled emotions of self-doubt. What a thoughtful consideration, isn't it?"

"..." Klein couldn't pronounce that simple, affirmative pronunciation no matter what.

"Oh, it's not like we'll never see each other again, I still owe you a chance to make a wish." Alice said, tilting her head, and her satin-like light golden hair fell down her face, so that he could see clearly.

She put a silver ornament on her ear, "When I gave you this earring, I also considered conveying your wish... In short, as long as you think about it and say that wish from the bottom of your heart, I will still be in this world.

, I will definitely be able to hear it and respond to you.”

Also... wasn't his chat with Alice during this period just paving the way for his desire to "find the Earth"?

Klein gradually regained his calm mood and nodded gently and slowly, indicating that he understood.

Seeing this, Alice adjusted her gaze again, raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ears, and then spoke with a soft smile.

"So, now that I've finished talking about my story, let's talk about yours... Klein, when are you going to leave your family and go out into a broader and broader world?"

"——?! Me? I left my family and went out to work?" Klein's eyes widened in surprise, as if he heard some incredible words.

But indeed, for him, this choice was completely...a fantasy that he had never considered.

Benson and Melissa are all him... The bond left to him by the original owner, the blood bond that cannot be easily given up, how can he leave so easily? What's more, he is still a Nighthawk who belongs to the Church of the Night. Sign

After passing the corresponding rules and regulations, you can't leave Tingen easily if you don't have tasks...

"Klein." Alice lowered her eyes and allowed the starlight from the dome to cast a shallow shadow under her long, thick pale gold eyelashes.

"You want to become stronger, well, I can understand that; you want a stable life, I feel the same; you want to earn more money and improve your quality of life, that's understandable... But, maybe because

I am an outsider with no worries, so I can remind you so rashly and irresponsibly - you extraordinary people who are walking on the so-called 'God's Path' are just like sailing against the current... I mean, it's like swimming against the current.

The river water pushes the ship that has lost power forward. The higher it goes, the more terrifying the risks and crises it faces...

I know that one of the reasons why you are on guard against me is that you are worried that I will bring disaster to your family; but have you ever thought about it, the further you go on the path of an extraordinary person, the more friends and enemies you make, and the more you make, the more likely you will be.

Sen and Melissa will also face greater dangers..."

"..." Klein opened his mouth, feeling that he had no way to refute.

"Now, at this moment, we are in the deep area of ​​the mirror world. You don't have to worry about our conversation being heard by others." Alice raised the corner of her mouth without emotion, "I don't know what you are facing.

, what we have encountered, what will come, but I have a hunch that what you and I have seen now is just the tip of the iceberg that has surfaced... Don't be too optimistic, always be prepared to face the worst ending. This is me

The only advice I can give you."

"...I will remember it." Seeing her seriousness, Klein took a breath and nodded solemnly.

"Then, after you have rested enough, continue your investigation work. I will continue reading here." As she said that, Alice picked up the thick book next to her legs again and opened it to the page she had read previously.

, "By the way, you have used up two hours before, including the 20 minutes of rest... There are still about two or three hours before the sun goes down, so please work hard."

There are still two or three hours...

Klein's expression was stunned, and he turned to look at the row of silver mirrors behind him that seemed to have no end. He immediately did not dare to sit around anymore. He drank the remaining tea in the cup in one sip, stood up suddenly, and walked towards the bright and sunny sky.
