He let out a long sigh and lowered his voice. "Looks like there's no problem now."
Since Mr. Fool could respond as usual and convene the Tarot gathering, it meant He had prevailed against
If that was the case, Klein should be out of the woods too.
In Leonard's mind, Pallez Zoroaster's aged voice chuckled. "Don't rejoice so soon. After you enter Sefirah Castle, observe that 'Fool' and see if He has a monocle on His right eye."
"You... you mean the current 'Fool' might be Amon in disguise?" Leonard's eyelid twitched and he quickly asked.
Pallez sighed. "Can't rule it out. Amon really could do something like this."

"Mr. Fool took so long to respond... Does this mean the disappearance of 'The World' Gehrman Sparrow is related to what He was scheming?" Having heard Mr. Fool's voice, the "Star Admiral"
Based on the queen's letter, she suspected King George III's fall couldn't be separated from Mr. Fool's interference, and the previous disappearance of 'The World' Gehrman Sparrow was a continuation of this.

"But, He has recovered now..."
"He didn't respond to my prayer to 'The Sun' to borrow the 'Unshadowed Cross'. He saw through my test. He saw those little thoughts I was hiding..."
"I can't do this kind of thing again! Mr. Fool just gave a simple warning this time. Next time, He might directly punish me."
"Do not test the gods. Do not test the gods."
His thoughts racing, Alger lowered his head and spoke piously: "Thank you for your mercy and tolerance."

"Mr. Fool didn't say He would help me..."
He then interpreted the symbolic meaning of this response from another angle: "Mr. Fool specifically emphasized that the afternoon Tarot gathering will take place as usual. Is He telling me that the chance to escape my predicament lies with a certain member? Not that 'Star' again?"

Hearing Mr. Fool's response, Derrick immediately flipped off the bed, an excited expression written all over his face.
Mr. Fool hadn't disappeared! Mr. Fool hadn't abandoned the City of Silver like the Creator!
