The two figures beside the long table were also shrouded in the thick gray-white mist, making their faces and outlines appear hazy.

But Klein knew that this was just a symbolic means of compensation, similar in nature to making amends after a desperate situation, and could only provide some psychological comfort.

Even though she was near the end of the long bronze table, even when she was silently looked at by the "mysterious man" sitting at the top seat, Alice did not feel any embarrassment or panic at all.

She generously admired the architectural design style of the palace several times, and then turned to observe the long table and high-backed chairs in front of her. Her tone was as casual and brisk as usual:

"You didn't invite me here to study some lost civilization, right? If you have anything to do, just tell me quickly, I still have something to do."

Klein, who was thinking about how to speak, was stunned. He took out his gold watch and looked at the time. His facial expression shrouded in illusory fog suddenly became a little strange:

"...It's almost one o'clock in the morning, what do you have to do?"

"Chatting with friends I met in Backlund." Alice answered matter-of-factly, and then added, "I have been out of contact for many days, so of course I have to explain my failure to reply in time. But maybe it's really too late now,

I didn't even notice that time passed so fast..."

"...You stayed up late at night and went out to chat with your friends?" Klein felt increasingly weird, and immediately thought of how the external body behaved like a lost spirit when the spirit body was pulled into this gray fog space.

It was so scary and frightening that I suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Isn't it possible?" Alice said, paused briefly, and then slowly added, "How about you wait for me? Now I am talking to you here while looking at the real world. Although

It’s not that it can’t be done, but it’s too perfunctory for you and my friend. Wait a minute, let me end the current topic, and then find a chance to say goodbye to her.”

...Good guy, you can open two avatars and chat online with two people at the same time, right?

Klein resisted the urge to complain and heard her say again quite calmly:

"Just in time, I'll give you some time to think about what you want to say to me."

He covered his face silently, extremely reluctantly, but he had to admit that her small step back gave him a precious thinking space, allowing him to sort out his chaotic thoughts.

He knew he didn't have much time, so he quickly calmed down, sorted out the clues and information, listed possibilities and guesses in his mind, and summarized the doubts and confusions into the most critical questions.

After being able to clear his thoughts, the figure standing beside the ancient mottled long table turned his head and looked up in front of the long table.

"Have you finished chatting?"

Since he had "revealed his true colors" in front of her, Klein simply stopped trying to maintain his image as a mysterious and powerful man. He sat upright on the high-backed chair at the main seat and propped up his arms. He unexpectedly felt calm.

"so……"

The figure belonging to Alice walked around the seat next to her without any awe, walked leisurely to the end of the long table, and sat down facing the "mysterious man". When he sat down, he would often reach out and gently

He tapped lightly on the ancient long table and crossed his legs.

"Your temptation, your plan, is just for tonight? What do you want to get from me?"

"The Fool" Klein inhaled slightly to keep his voice steady and calm.
