23. Friendship
The reason must be due to the "limitation" of the third condition. This is the most reliable answer that Alice, who has nowhere to stay after Miradoro leaves, and has to pull her companion away to calm down.
As for Letty's words, she has long been in a slump because of her depressed and angry feelings, and she even needs to be supported to walk. The wish that was allowed to be put forward was brought back for unknown reasons when it was realized, which is undoubtedly a big blow to Letty, who has survived all kinds of "temptations" in one go.
It's just that although we know where the cause is, we can't solve it. It's a really good feeling.
The chair, which had been intact, suddenly received a "knowing sitting" from Alice, and crunched suspiciously. The rest of the people stood in their own places, as if the journey home alone had consumed all their strength.
"Luna, go make tea. After a pause, Alice's eyes glanced at Christie, who was holding Letty, "In addition, you can make today's dinner alone...... Light. ”
"Huh?"
"Hurry up!"
Luna, who hadn't thought about it so much, seemed to be just distressed that Letty's wish hadn't been granted, but that simplicity wasn't bad at all. Alice didn't want to think too much about it, if she could, but every time she saw Letty's dejected face since Miradoro left, Alice felt a little uncomfortable.
Although the usual high-spirited appearance is also annoying, but at least it is better than the current one. A stupid person should maintain the attributes of a stupid person, and the appearance of laughing out loud is more suitable for Letty, and now she has suddenly become a depressed girl.
Luna hurried towards the kitchen, and Alice put aside Miradoro's actions for the time being, and simply studied why her wish couldn't be granted.
"The problem lies in the third condition. ”
Alice looked at Irina, who was resting with her eyes closed, and she was the only one she could count on to consult.
"'Know everything about the witch hunter', this desire does not violate the first condition. If it was contrary to 'you can only make one wish at a time', Aladdin's attitude at that time would not be so strange. ”
Yes, Letty's wish is indeed a bit against the suspicion of "one wish at a time", after all, the scope of the word "everything" itself is difficult to determine and very vague. But Aladdin didn't question this at the time, as Aladdin seemed to have discovered something wrong in the process of granting Leiti's wish, and then secretly told her master Miradoro, and finally the master and the servant pushed Leiti's wish back in a forceful way.
"Yes, the problem is on the third condition. ”
With her eyes closed, Irina quickly answered, and just as Alice wondered why Irina was so sure, the conversation was slightly interrupted by Irina forcefully.
"So, what's next?"
The third condition of "Wish is Wish, Wish Must Be Wish" feels a little strange no matter how you think about it, and I don't understand where Letty's wish contradicts it. That said, it is not without a solution.
"I'd like to find Miradoro again. Alice was quick to reply, "Then I figured out a way to get her to grant me a wish." Of course, I don't need to explain what this wish is. ”
Since Letty's wish has not been fulfilled, then use this as a focus to ask Miradoro a wish similar to "Why can't Letty's wish come true", then Miradorolu must tell Aladdin the original reason for the hidden reason, even if she is not happy. This can be regarded as doing what she can for Letty, who is depressed.
"Alice ......"
"Excuse me, you idiot just wait for good news. Alice reached out and gagged the teary-eyed Letty's mouth, "Don't feel guilty or anything, your wish didn't come true, then the wish we made at that time definitely didn't count, so it's nothing I wasted a precious wish for you." My first wish had been set long before. ”
Wish, what a bad thing, when it can come true. But if Letty can face the temptation and overcome it, there's no reason why she can't overcome it.
"Will it work?" As Alice thought, Irina poured cold water at the right time, she is such a guy who forces others to calm down when they are impulsive, "Miradoro, she will not want to see us again." ”
"Then let me go to her, and harass her day and night, until she impatiently agrees to my wish. ”
"Where's the location?"
"I let the March Rabbit follow me when I left, and the dignified witch won't care about a rabbit anyway. ”
“...... Huh"
"Hahaha!"
There was a brief silence, and then both Irina and Alice expressed their sudden joy after being depressed in their own ways. Letty couldn't even speak, until her tear-stained, reddened face was slapped a few times by Alice.
"Don't look stupid, I didn't do anything wrong, but this is what a real magician does?" Alice patted Letty on the shoulder, "And I always felt like you idiot was picking up the limelight before, and this time I finally had a chance, I can't let it go anymore." Irina, you want to go too. ”
"Of course. After a pause, Irina added, "To prevent you from dying there." ”
The fairy tale "queen" Miradoro, even Alice herself doesn't know what will happen if she provokes her, but this is a lot more reassuring, because the promise made by Irina has always reassured Alice. This little little dot who doesn't speak is much more powerful than she looks, and I'm afraid she has already reached the level of a "witch", at least that's what Alice thinks.
"Well, first of all, don't come over with snot. Once again, Alice pushed away Letty, who seemed to be so emotional that she had forgotten who she really was, "Second, you don't need to tearfully thank us, because it's still unknown whether or not you can succeed, and even a fool can see that the witch doesn't plan to deal with us anymore." Third...... I want you to tell me something. ”
If this opportunistic wish can really be fulfilled by luck, then it's time for Letty, a dumb goose, to make a statement, after all, a fool shouldn't have secrets in his head.
"If I do get my wish, then it's time for you to return the favor. I don't want to be strong or something, I just want to find the shadow of the witch hunter, what is the reason!"
