Alice had originally wanted to ask Klein whether he had considered taking revenge, but fortunately, she remembered Derrick was present in time and did not call out, "Mr. Fool."
Klein understood the reason for her pause and merely replied:
"I'm not you."
—Shamelessly asking for Beyonder Characteristics? It would be strange if anyone were willing to give them.
But that made the only one who had given them seem especially conspicuous, and Klein could not help but add:
"It's a pity the Church of Knowledge doesn't have..."
Doesn't have what? Naturally, the Beyonder Characteristic of a "Miracle Invoker."
It truly was regrettable. Alice considered this and said:
"Now that you mention it, I took His things... Although they didn't come in handy, shouldn't I give Him something in return?"
Klein looked at her curiously and waited for her to finish.
Alice smiled and continued, "Not causing Him trouble counts as repayment too, right?"
"..." Klein looked away and lit a candle for the unseen God of Knowledge and Wisdom.
The next day, when the Moon City Residents arrived, Alice immediately noticed something different about them.
—This group looked far too normal.
Alice stared at them curiously. The group stopped, and the person leading them was High Priest Nim. He stepped forward, bowed toward her and Klein, and called out:
"Miss Fortune, Divine Emissary."
Alice looked at Derrick beside her, then at Klein, and Without Hesitation shoved Derrick forward:
"This one is also a Divine Emissary. The worl... uh, Merlin should have mentioned him to you, right? He's the one responsible for purification. You can call him...
"Little 'Sun'?"
She Tilted Her Head and gave him a title utterly lacking in dignity.
"...?" Nim hesitated and Didn't Dare to Speak the words aloud.
"...?" Derrick looked blankly at Merlin Hermes.
