chapter.55 Peaceful Night(1/2)
In fact, Alice can probably guess the reason why Klein's mind is wandering.
But now, she was unable to remedy this, so she could only let herself fall down, suppress her weak gasp, and whispered:
"If nothing happens, you'd better stay away from me now. Well... the safe distance of five meters is not enough anymore. At least ten meters. Keep a distance of more than ten meters from me, but be careful not to leave my field of vision.
.”
"...Aren't you going to drink some potion or something to adjust and recover?" Klein couldn't stand the way she was trying to force herself, so he couldn't help but ask.
"The potion... there's no need to waste it. I'll just rest for a while. Oh no, did you hear what I said? Just stay away from me if you have nothing to do."
"The safe distance has changed from five meters to ten meters... Has the range of influence of your charm ability expanded? Then I think there should be no big problem, but you, it doesn't look like you are fine..." Maybe it's because of yourself
With the gray mist world in hand and the Breath of the Soul earrings that can remove mental influences in hand, Klein acted unhurriedly and asked with humanitarian concern.
Alice raised her head, stared at him with strange eyes for a long time, and finally sighed before the caring look on his face collapsed.
"Idiot...do you smell a strange fragrance?"
Uh... He pulled up his collar with some embarrassment, holding back his shame and asked, "Yes, body fragrance?"
"Strictly speaking, no, the smell you smell is the residual breath after my magic power has dissipated..." Alice looked away expressionlessly, looking towards a certain direction leading to the unknown void and whispered, "But
Its effect may be greater than the uncontrollable charm ability... It is a strong stimulation that is too early for you. If you smell it for a long time, it may..."
"Maybe?" With his throat moving up and down, he asked unconsciously, but his eyes couldn't leave that beautiful face that rarely showed a fragile look.
"Well..." She seemed to be worried about how to say it for a moment, but in the end she chose the relatively straightforward one.
"Creates craving and desire. For me."
——Ha? The expression on Klein's face was dull. He only had time to squeeze out a breathy sound with no clear meaning from his throat, and Alice's words were replayed in his mind.
Will have... for her
"Personally, it doesn't matter to me. I'm just afraid that you'll say it feels weird later, and then cry and beg me to help you get rid of it..." As if she had regained some energy, Alice smiled wickedly, and struck with a bad statement that she didn't know was true or false.
It's about Klein's precarious psychological defense.
As a result, with little effort, she was able to admire his embarrassed look as he retreated into the distance with a red face.
She, what kind of magical aura is this? I've never heard of a magician with this kind of setting! She... Alice, isn't she actually a human being, but a demon with a human appearance... like Charm?
Demon type?
No, she doesn't have horns on her head, wings or tail behind her, so logically she shouldn't.
Wait, if she has a way to hide her racial characteristics, then it seems reasonable that she can't see the horns and tail, and it is even more reasonable to have a charming aura...
Klein's mind was in a state of confusion. He fled away from the distance where he couldn't smell the strange aroma, so he covered his thumping heart and thought about many things. For a while, he even conspired to talk about some unhealthy little theaters.
Of course, the theme of these small theaters is basically that Alice plays the abominable mastermind of the crime, and he is responsible for playing the poor victim after sleeping...
There is no way, who makes the public think that succubi do bad things while others are asleep!
Klein encouraged himself.
But when ten minutes passed, Alice regained her usual look, and walked over to him who was pacing back and forth with her usual expression. There was no sweat on her body, and the alluring fragrance no longer lingered around her, and she even
All the clothes were changed back to a light and everyday long skirt and short boots, and the strange long staff with golden runes around it was nowhere to be found.
Seeing this, Klein boldly tried out something, and received a surprised look back at her.
"Me? What do you think makes me look less human?"
…It doesn’t look like anywhere.
He was too embarrassed to speak directly, so he could only remain silent and stick to his position.
"It's just because of the residual aura of my magic power..." Alice seemed a little speechless. She paused for a moment before saying, "Then why didn't you suspect that I was an inhuman race before? Have you ever seen anyone who is prettier than me?
?Have you ever seen anyone who can use spells similar to mine to lead people into the mirror world? No."
I have never seen anyone more stinky and beautiful than you... Klein complained in his heart, but he was unable to refute her statement.
Indeed, if I were a non-traveler who knew nothing about the DND worldview, it would be difficult to think of those fantasy races that are divorced from ordinary people's lives... It's a pity that I can't tell you the real reasoning process...
Now that Alice had given a clear answer, Klein accepted the question and stopped obsessing over the question that would offend her. He followed her obediently and honestly out of the mirror world.
The two returned to reality and walked along the evening sidewalk together until they entered the building at No. 2 Daffodil Street.
Seeing her brother and the girl returning home side by side, Melissa was surprised and suddenly showed a somewhat embarrassed expression. She turned around and gently tugged on Benson's sleeve, whispering in a low voice:
"Oops, aren't the dinner dishes too monotonous? Counting Miss Alice's share, I feel like it's not enough for four people to enjoy together..."
"I didn't expect that Klein would coax his little girlfriend back so quickly... I thought they would have to keep fighting for a few more days." Benson sighed nervously.
"Benson, listen, are you saying this as a brother?" Melissa, the youngest of the three siblings, glared at her eldest brother.
Fortunately, Melissa didn't worry about the situation at the dinner table that night, because Alice went upstairs to get a small basket of sandwiches, added them all to the list of staple foods, and said that they were not finished after buying them at noon.
part.
She successfully dispelled Melissa's concerns on the grounds that "if you don't eat it, it will go bad and you will have to throw it away." Everyone at the dinner table also tasted white bread toast and fresh lettuce, fried eggs and
The taste of cooked meat.
"I like that you can eat food with multiple flavors at the same time, and it doesn't feel complicated to make." After swallowing the crisp vegetable leaves chewed in his mouth, Benson expressed his opinion, "Next time I plan to try the same thing with oatmeal bread.
The recipe, Klein, you will be the first lucky person to get the chance to try it!"
Except for Alice who knew nothing about Benson's cooking skills and smiled politely, both Klein and Melissa looked frightened and glanced at each other in unison.
Soon, Melissa responded tactfully:
"No, Benson... I think I prefer the soft texture of white bread in this food. After you switch to oatmeal bread, the overall balanced taste will be destroyed... Well, we have to save food, we can't
waste."
"How can developing new recipes be called a waste? Don't worry, I have completely mastered how to make this kind of sandwich. If I can't make it well, I swear to the goddess, I'm just a curly baboon!" Benson said confidently.
insisted.
Hearing this, Klein sighed with a sad expression:
"Benson, I think you'd better not be so optimistic... I don't want to wake up one day and find a curly baboon wearing only your pajamas walking out of the room opposite me. That, that scene
It’s scary to think about it, it might give me nightmares for weeks…”
"Don't you think highly of my cooking skills, Klein? I remember that when you were a child, you loved eating my potato-boiled beef the most. Why do you dislike your brother so much when you grow up..." Benson said with a sad tone.
"But you can't deny that the dishes made by Klein are indeed more delicious." Melissa decided to stand on the side of facts and truth, "Benson, I think you can discuss with Klein the secrets of improving your cooking skills."
Maybe I’ll meet the person I like soon.”
Benson, however, remained calm and said with a smile:
"It's okay. I'm not in a hurry to think about my affairs, but Klein... he has to work harder and work hard. Only after he has saved up enough savings can he have the confidence to consider engagement and marriage."
When this topic was brought up, Melissa's attention was indeed attracted by the expenses for her brother's future engagement and wedding.
She counted the time with her fingers, and directed all her firepower at the innocent Klein. She heard that it was wrong for Klein to answer, and it was wrong to interrupt. She could only look at Alice who was sipping soup and watching the show.
Give him a look of help.
When Melissa worriedly mentioned the family status of a wealthy family, Alice wiped the corners of her mouth leisurely with a handkerchief, smiled and expressed relief for her sister who lived a hard-working life like a mother:
"Melissa, have you forgotten what I said before? I ran to the Kingdom of Loen, which is beyond the control of my family. Although there were some twists and turns along the way, at least now I can freely decide my own future... and my parents also
My father is gone, so don’t worry. My father sat up from the coffin and angrily accused Klein of abducting his daughter."
…Hiss. I asked you to help save the situation, and I didn’t let you add fuel to the fire!
If his eyes could express the embarrassment in Klein's heart at this moment, then he would definitely be able to burn two holes through Alice's long skirt.
However, unable to get a word in, he could only look at Benson speechlessly and smile with genuine affection between brothers in distress.
——Speaking of which, it seems that his dining table has not been so lively for almost a week.
After mentally calculating the time it would take for Alice to live in his house, Klein suddenly realized that it had only been three weeks since she came to Moretti's house as a guest, but she had already been accepted by all three siblings, including him.
of her existence.
This is simply, simply...
It's like it's real.
She didn't lie. It was true that after she came to the nobles of Loen Kingdom from afar, she miraculously developed an emotional spark with the ordinary Klein Moretti. It was true... like everyone
Like a girl who falls in love, she has considered engagement, marriage, and even a further future with her lover...
It's a pity. Klein has seen the expression on her face when she deceives people, and he knows that if he trusts this bloodless, tearless and evil-hearted witch, he will probably be sold by her and treat her as a good person...
No, he didn't mean that she wasn't a good person! It's just that the sense of good and evil she gave him was too vague, and she was more like the kind of liberal who does whatever he wants and does things according to his personal preferences.
It's a pity that what she said are all lies and illusions...
Hey, wait, why did I say it was a pity? Realizing something was wrong, Klein frowned in confusion.
The time for a leisurely chat after a full meal always passed quickly, so when it was about to come to an end, Alice placed her hands with a slightly serious expression and whispered that she had something important to convey to the three brothers and sisters.
Even Klein felt a little nervous.
Although he could vaguely guess what she was going to say.
To be continued...
