Alice, still unaware that Klein had completely established Gehrman Sparrow's image as the parent of a child outside, received a letter that left her somewhat bewildered.
She had been sitting properly at her desk when, suddenly, the atmosphere in the room turned chilly. It was a sign that a messenger was about to appear. No problem there. The problem was...
Who used an angel as a messenger?!
Alice trembled as she looked at the female angel carrying four blonde, red-eyed heads. Though she wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, she was afraid of getting beaten up.
...Who exactly was using an angel as a messenger?!
Alice stiffly accepted the envelope. Seeing that the headless woman had no intention of leaving, she carefully asked, "Is there anything else you need?"
The headless woman stared at Alice for quite some time. Just as Alice began uneasily tugging at her high school uniform, she finally spoke:
"Need..." "One..." "Gold coin."
Alice watched the headless woman's four heads take turns speaking. The last head, having failed to grab a line, looked anxious. After a long silence, Alice asked:
"Why didn't you arrange in advance what each head was supposed to say? Was it because you don't have a fifth head?
"Oh, no, that isn't right. I should ask: is it because there isn't a head on your neck?" Note 1
The headless woman fell silent for a moment, then vanished on the spot.
Alice blinked her eyes in confusion and lowered her head to inspect the envelope, only to discover that it was actually from Klein.
"...Why did he send a letter?" Alice blinked her eyes blankly and opened the envelope.
Alice:
Have you met my messenger? Um... You didn't say anything strange, did you? Probably not, right?
Her name is Reinette
