"Children should go to bed early and get up early," Alice said, staring at the ceiling. After earnestly advising herself, she could not help feeling puzzled again. "But I clearly won't grow any taller... Why do I still have to do this?"
Alice Fell Into Deep Thought.
After thinking for several minutes, she pulled up the covers, shut her eyes, emptied her mind, and began to sleep.
...Why did children have to think so much!
After sleeping with a clear conscience, Alice Got Up from bed, Blinked Her Eyes twice, and suddenly thought of a question.
"I could clearly check out of the hotel, come to Bayam to have fun during the day, and return to Backlund to sleep at night..."
Having discovered a little money-saving trick, Alice checked out of her hotel room Without Hesitation and flashed back to her home in Backlund.
Perfect.
Alice Gave a Thumbs Up to herself in the mirror. After confirming that no one had broken into her room while she was away, she began, with great ceremony, to... brush her teeth and wash her face.
"Ah." After Spitting Out the foam, Alice sighed at her reflection. "This feels so much better."
Although she No Longer Has any actual need for such things, Alice Sighed and had no choice but to accept that from now on, she would have to spend time every day doing a whole pile of pointless things.
—Otherwise, it would feel very strange to her.
So, the next step in this sense of ceremony was... reading the newspaper while eating breakfast?
Alice Blinked Her Eyes, left her room, and brought back the newspapers and letters from the mailbox.
As she bit into a Dixie Pie, the filling's blend of delicate fragrance and sweet-sour flavor instantly conquered Alice's Sense of Taste.
