Ninety-sixty-two, thief? black and white?

However, even Alice like this, after following Levi out of that enchantment and coming to this world, has a little bit of contact with all kinds of things in this world. Although Alice doesn't have a computer in her room like everyone else, she doesn't refuse the smartphone that Lévy gave her, and she takes a good note of what Lévy taught her how to use it.

Now Alice has used her mobile phone to occasionally go online to check some things that she is interested in, wants to know, and wants to know. And those forums and other social platforms that netizens love to use, Alice herself will not 'soak' in them, but at least she knows what it means.

After all, I don't have a clue about how to return to Gensokyo, and when Alice just came out of the enchantment, she even found Penglai Mountain Kaguya, who used to communicate in Gensokyo, and was once an enemy of each other, and discussed with her how to return to Gensokyo.

Kaguya's attitude of not thinking about going back at all made Alice no longer interested in finding her 'fellow countryman' after she came into contact with her twice. And since she is destined to live in this world for a long time, it is not that there is any problem, but Alice, who just prefers to be quiet, also accepts the reality that it is necessary to learn the common sense of this world.

"Well, many of the things posted by those people on the Internet are indeed casual nonsense, or just unfounded rumors that I heard from nowhere. ”

Levy: Of course, this is not because he is not addicted to the Internet, because he is not biased. Although he is a teacher, he is not like some of his colleagues who are not accustomed to the new things that are trending nowadays.

"It's just that since Hei Tong specially sorted this out and sent it to me, and suggested that he take a look at the situation on the spot, it shows that he should think this rumor is more credible to a certain extent?"

Levi mentions Kuroki again and again, and Alice also remembers the bespectacled man she had seen that day.

On that day, both Levi and the woman named Aosaki Orange also admired that Kurokurigan quite a lot. Although Alice did not see anything special about the young man whose appearance and temperament seemed to be quite ordinary, and even a little inconspicuous. But since both Levi and Aozaki Orange trust him so much, they must indeed have extraordinary abilities.

Later, Lévy explained to Alice that the young man had extraordinary intelligence-gathering skills. It's just that this ability sounds a bit distant to Alice, who has never been at home and rarely touches people, and I don't know exactly what it feels like. After all, she didn't even have much contact with others like Levy, not to mention that she had performed any special missions, so where did she get those opportunities to need 'intelligence'?

"If it's just an ordinary common rumor, Heitong will definitely not be so boring and specially sorted it out, and then specially sent it to me. Although you can see that what he wrote in this email is very simple, but I think before sending it to me, Kuroki must have collected a lot of relevant information around this information, and after finally summarizing and confirming it, he thought it was very valuable, so he sent it to me. ”

Alice looked at Lévy's phone screen, and there were only a few simple words on it. She had never been exposed to anything like intelligence, but Alice felt that if she had compared it to her own research on magic, she would have achieved some results in one out of four attempts, which should be considered quite high. Yesterday, Levi and Kaguya went to four places, and once they found a clue. It may sound like a hassle to run four times, but Alice has been studying magic on her own for many years and has failed many times. If this analogy makes a little sense, then it seems that the human named Kuroki Kanya should indeed be quite powerful?

"Is this the haunted room that the man said?"

"No, it's still ahead. ”

Lévy pointed to an exit in front of him, then to the front right.

"And over there, huh...... The information Kuroki gathered said that several rooms were haunted, but I think maybe there were just thieves?"

"Thief?"

"Yes, look here,"

Levi pulls up a simple map on his phone that appears to be homemade, with a few red dots on it, presumably the room where the haunted room has been rumored to have been found. Then Lévy followed the red dots and connected them with his fingertips.

"But it doesn't seem like such a route goes through the entrance?"

Alice looked at the route that had taken a long circle, and noticed that it had never approached the entrance to the museum. Not only the main entrance, but also the back entrance marked on the map that is not allowed to be approached by tourists.

"That's right, it's because this route doesn't go through the entrance, not even the back door, that the museum staff thought it was haunted, not a thief. ”

"But a thief doesn't have to walk in through the door of the house, does he?"

For the 'profession' of thieves, Alice actually surprisingly has a lot to say. During the year that she was trapped in that enchantment with Lévy, even though Alice was a person who could endure loneliness, she still talked to Lévi a lot, and almost told Lévi about the people and things she met in Gensokyo.

Among them, Alice said the most and the most about a 'thief' in Gensokyo. She said so much detail that it didn't take long for an experienced person like Levi to hear that Alice had unusual feelings for the 'thief'.

Although Levy certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to break the story. But you don't need to listen to Alice admit it in person, you can guess that she attaches great importance to the 'thief' named Marisa Kiriyu. Levi felt that even if it wasn't really to the level of the 'lily' that Kaguya and Izumi were shouting about all day long, it was already a bit beyond the ordinary friendship emotion, but it made people like him who didn't gossip much interested in hearing more about Alice and that Marisa of Misty Rain.

From Alice's mouth, Levi learns that the girl named Marisa Kiriyu is not a 'youkai' like her, Kaguya, and Reizen, but a minority of humans in Gensokyo. Although the girl had studied magic to a very high level at a young age, she was still just the most ordinary human with no special physical features.

And because she is still an ordinary human being, that Marisa Kiriyu has no shame in her stealing things everywhere, or 'borrowing' other people's things and not paying them back. According to her own words, she is just a human with a very limited lifespan, and she will not return what she borrowed now, and someone else will come and take it after she dies.
