If "The Fool" was the beginning of the Tarot, then "The World" was the end, signifying completion and sublimation. Klein named his secondary account "The World" hoping for the auspicious symbolism of a beginning and an end.
From now on, many things that were inconvenient for me to say and requests I needed to make could be handled by "The World". This would greatly reduce the possibility of the collapse of Mr. Fool's image. Life with a disguise, no, life with an alternate account is a complete life! Klein inwardly praised himself with relief and waved his hand to make "The World" disappear.
Next, he extended his spirituality, wrapped himself in it, and plunged into the Grey Fog, returning to the real world.
— He left
After packing up the materials for the summoning ritual, Klein looked up at the curtains through which the crimson moonlight was shining, full of anticipation for tomorrow's gathering.
When it came to understanding the nobility, he believed that Miss "Justice" could definitely surpass ninety-nine percent of Loenese.
And now, with his alternate account "The World", he could directly ask her about the Pond family without worrying about affecting the image of "The Fool"!
Of course, he had to be tactful about it, after all, Detective Sherlock Moriarty was also looking into the Pond family. And only with enough information could he divine above the Grey Fog.
Phew... Klein thought about it seriously for a while, then relaxed and went to sleep.
After his trip above the Grey Fog, the lingering influence of the evil spirit seemed to have completely disappeared. Klein slept all the way until dawn, but didn't see the sun because there was a thin fog outside.
Following his planned schedule, he continued to visit the other public libraries in
At 2:40 PM, Klein entered the mysterious space above the Grey Fog ahead of time.
In the magnificent ancient palace, he sat in the seat belonging to "The Fool" and, focusing his mind, materialized the dummy "The World" opposite the long table covered in mottled green patina, getting used to the feeling of control.
After a few minutes, Klein took out his pocket watch, glanced at it, and transmitted the intention to prepare for the gathering to the crimson star that symbolized the "Sun" student.
At three in the afternoon, beams of light rose one after another within the palace that resembled a giant's dwelling. "Justice," "The Hanged Man," and "The Sun" projected their blurry figures, tinged with a slight crimson hue.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~ Good after..." Audrey was about to greet every member of the
It was a stranger wearing a hooded black robe. He was just as illusory and ethereal.
"And this is?" Audrey looked at Mr. Fool with a mix of confusion and delight.
Had the Tarot Club grown again? Was it Fors, or Xio? No, the height didn't match... Or someone else?
As Audrey's thoughts raced, Klein leisurely leaned back and said: "This is the new member, Mr. 'The World'."
At the same time, through his spirit vision augmented by the Grey Fog, he noticed that the surface color of the "Sun" student's astral body was a little purer, but it still hadn't reached the level of Sequence 8. He preliminarily judged that the other party had probably completely digested the "Praiser" potion.
"Hello." "Justice" Audrey politely greeted the new member, studying him with curiosity.
She quickly "read" the corresponding information from the subtle details revealed through the hazy grey fog.
Mr. "The World" was someone who was reserved in his emotions, rarely moved his body, and always wore a straight face... I wonder where he comes from. Loen, Intis? Or a mysterious place like the
— Through the course of several gatherings, she had deduced from the fact that "The Sun's" lip movements didn't match his words that he most likely wasn't speaking Loenese. What she and the others heard was probably a simultaneous translation provided by Mr. Fool.
After "The Hanged Man" Alger and "The Sun" Derrick greeted "The World," and the new member responded rather coldly, Klein looked at "Justice" and said: "The two candidates you recommended are still being evaluated."
"I'll give you a simple task. You entrust it to them in your name. This is part of the evaluation."
It should be this strict... Audrey didn't feel disappointed at all; instead, she thought it was only right. The members of the Tarot Club must be strictly selected, not just anyone can become one! She thought proudly, and then rather sheepishly added in her mind, And I was invited in from the very beginning by Mr. Fool, which means I am lucky enough. Luck is a trait in itself!
"Alright, please assign the task." Audrey gave an affirmative reply.
Klein extended his right hand and pressed it on the table, materializing a picture depicting Lanvus's appearance and attire.
"Find out information about the person in this portrait. He is in Backlund." Klein made the portrait appear in front of Miss "Justice."
