Klein finally remembered what he had forgotten.
Bilt did not notice the turmoil beneath the Mad Adventurer's impassive expression. Faced with Alice's sudden appearance for the second time, he was much calmer and explained naturally:
"Earlier, a message came from Vice Admiral of Ailment Tracy's Black Death: adventurer Gehrman Sparrow can transform into anyone, just like Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilingus did before.

Bilt's voice trailed off. He suddenly realized that Alice's eyes were sparkling as she looked at Klein, her gaze filled with barely suppressed excitement, as if she were examining a priceless treasure.
Bilt suddenly felt that Sotos and he were somewhat superfluous. While he hesitated, Alice turned to them and asked:

Bilt hesitated for a moment, then quickly said, "The admiral will be holding a banquet the day after tomorrow. I have an invitation letter..."
"Then... see you the day after tomorrow?" Alice interrupted Bilt.
"See you the day after tomorrow." Bilt swallowed.
