Eh, sure enough, that way he wouldn't feel sad... I'm so smart!
Alice smugly praised herself in her heart, then leaned forward and said:
"When you put it that way, it does seem like I have the most scenes..."
...?
What was she thinking... No, she should know that wasn't what I meant. There's no way she couldn't see something like this... She did it on purpose!
Klein suddenly realized this. As his memories stirred, he remembered the low mood he'd been in earlier.
She was comforting me...?
"But a 'Soothsayer' can't be your 'female lead'!" Alice's righteous voice interrupted Klein's thoughts. "At most, I can tell you who your destiny is!"
...The comfort might have been real, but her being punchable was definitely real.
Klein looked at Alice with complicated feelings. He opened his mouth to curse her, but when he met her bright eyes, he suddenly swallowed the words.
Cursing her would only make her happier... As he thought this, Klein leaned back and casually asked:
"Oh? Who is it?"
...Who was what?
Alice blinked blankly twice, not reacting for a moment to what Klein was asking.
She really was talking nonsense!
Klein resisted the urge to laugh. Using the Clown's Extraordinary Ability to keep his expression straight, he pretended to be calm as he said:
"My destiny. Who is it?"
...Huh?
Alice understood this time, but the question wasn't easy to answer. Saying Amon would be too cliché, with no originality at all. Yet aside from Amon, everyone else was somehow both novel and unoriginal.
It seemed like anyone would be about the same... I can't possibly say myself, can I?!
Hmm? Wait...
Alice compared every person in her mind and eventually even considered herself. Finally, she reached a conclusion—why did it have to be a person?
