Chapter 407 Alice
Late at night, there was a knock on the door of Suibian Guan.
Rin opened her sleepy eyes and went outside to find that Tetsuya was awake.
"Ring, you're up too..."
“I just had a dream,” Bell said. “In the dream, Ies and Emilian were playing a new game, and the two cloths happily punctured all four tires of our car… Thank goodness, it was just someone knocking on the door.”
Zhe smiled wryly, "If Ies knew that this was how she appeared in your dream, she would be heartbroken all day long..."
Zhe then continued, "Forget about your terrible dream for now. Senior Brother Pan has already answered the door. Let's go check on him too. There must be something urgent that he's visiting so late."
The two then arrived at the gate, where they saw the Rabbit-like man they had met at the banquet standing there.
If Ling remembers correctly, her name is Alice, and she is the eldest daughter of the Timfield family, who developed the technology to purify corrosion inhibitors.
Standing beside her were Pan Yinhu, Yuecheng Liu, and Xingjian Ya, who had also been woken up.
Alice was looking at Hoshimi Miyabi and Tsukishiro Ryu with a face full of surprise. She never expected that these two would appear here instead of staying in the hotel room that Miki had arranged for them.
Hoshimi Masayuki asked, "So, Miss Alice Timfield, what is the purpose of your visit here?"
For some reason, Rin felt that there was a hint of displeasure in Hoshimi Miyabi's tone, but thinking about it, she knew that being woken up from her sleep so late would indeed be a little unpleasant.
Reminded by Hoshimi Miyabi, Alice realized what was happening. She placed her hands on her chest and began to explain her purpose for coming with a fearful expression.
In short, while she was resting in her assigned room, something suddenly hit her window. When she opened the curtains, she saw a glowing black shadow leaning against the window at a 22-degree angle to the left.
Everyone was confused, but Hoshimi Masaya quickly realized that Alice meant something suspicious had been peering at the window of her room and startled her.
"Ya, how did you know?"
"Because I know Alice."
Then Hoshimi Miyabi told everyone that the reason she knew Alice was because her father had taken her to visit the Timfield family before.
At the time, Alice was too young to notice the current Alice immediately. It was only when Alice revealed her surname and made that precise angular deviations in order to convince Pan Yinhu that Hoshimi remembered this girl who had an obsessive-compulsive obsession with symmetry.
However, it is already very late, and as Pan Yinhu said, the magic of Yunkui Mountain is not used to exorcise ghosts and capture demons.
However, Alice immediately explained that her unauthorized visit tonight was not due to any misunderstanding of Yun Kui Shan's expertise, but rather because she had heard from a friend that Zhe and Ling, whom she trusted, were currently serving as disciples at Yun Kui Shan.
Upon hearing this, Hoshimi Miyabi's eyes sharpened instantly. She placed her hand slightly on the hilt of her sword and asked who this friend was, clearly indicating that she would draw her sword if she didn't tell the truth.
Startled, Alice quickly revealed her friend's name—Luciana de Montef.
This is Lucy, the second-in-command of the son of Calydon, whom everyone knows. After realizing that Alice was introduced by her, everyone also realized that she knew about the siblings' second identities.
Since Lucy had introduced him to the group, Hoshimi Masaya lowered his guard.
But as mentioned before, it was already very late, and after what had happened, Alice dared not stay in that room any longer.
There was no other way but to arrange a guest room for Alice to rest. However, since the only remaining guest rooms had already been arranged for Tsukishiro Ryu and Hoshimi Miyabi, there were no spare guest rooms available at the moment.
So they had no choice but to arrange for Alice and Rin to sleep together for the time being. Anyway, Rin's room was quite large because it was meant to house the H.D.D equipment, so there wouldn't be any problem with adding another person.
The next day, Alice and Rin, having rested, decided to investigate the area outside the hotel where she had stayed the previous day.
Meanwhile, Tsukishiro Ryu and Hoshimi Miyabi, who had gotten up early, set off for the research institute that Kiana and Mei had previously investigated. However, they encountered a problem: due to a security investigation, using the cable car to go to the Void now required approval from the higher-ups at Shiningmik.
Although the two members of the Sixth Anti-Air Division represent the municipal government, the mayor is not concerned about the security investigation triggered by the Corrosion Syndrome incident. Instead, he is more concerned about the possibility of cooperation between the Shining Crystal and the Praise Society.
However, the rules that should be followed must still be followed, since the main purpose this time is to conduct a secret investigation to collect the evidence that Kiana and the others were unable to collect last time.
While they were at it, they also dealt with that strange creature. Kiana and Mei had already entered the void, while Hoshimi Miyabi and Tsukishiro Ryu were stuck in Chenghuiping due to related procedures.
There was nothing they could do but wait for the other party to approve it first, and there was no rule that they had to follow.
They could have secretly asked the locals if there was any way to enter the cave from another place. Just then, Hoshimi Miyabi discovered that Rin and Alice happened to be nearby, and at that moment they were chasing a tanuki wearing a hat.
Out of curiosity, Hoshimi Miyabi followed, while Tsukishiro Ryuu half-stretched out his hand, and before he could even say a word, Hoshimi Miyabi had already followed.
Seeing this, Yuecheng Liu could only sigh and follow. The four of them then stopped in front of a shop.
Because the raccoon had already run into the shop, and a very burly and fierce-looking Greek man was blocking the four of them at the door.
Seeing that Hito had stopped what he was doing and stood up because of the footsteps, Hoshimi Miyabi instinctively shielded Rin and Alice behind her.
"True fight?!"
The man, whom Rin called Masato, realized upon seeing Rin that they weren't looking for him, so he sighed and called out to the shop behind him.
"Yuye, someone is looking for you."
Amidst shouts of "Masato!", a red-haired girl emerged from the store.
"Here you are! What product are you looking for, customer?"
Along with the girl named Yuzuha, the tanuki they had been chasing earlier also appeared. She teased the tanuki while turning her gaze to the four of them. When she saw Alice hiding behind Rin, the girl gave a crooked smile.
"Oh dear, someone still came knocking on our door."
