In a world filled with mist, 4 people were sitting on a luxurious table in a grand palace.
One of them sat on the main seat, while the other 3 sat on the seats around him.
"Good afternoon Mr. Fool."
"Good afternoon Mr. Emperor, good afternoon Mr. Hanged Man.", Audrey's cheerful voice broke the solemn atmosphere of the party.
"Good afternoon Mr. Justice.", Klein and Alexander replied at the same time.
Having finished with the greetings, Klein wanted to try the new ability that he gained during his promotion to Sequence 9 Seer, the Spirit Vision.
Tapping lightly at his glabella twice with his left hand, his vision instantly changed.
'Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man emit colors just like Old Neil said', Klein thought.
Klein could see that Audrey's aura contained joy and excitement, while Alger's aura was calm and thoughtful.
Turning his head to look at Alexander's aura, Klein was surprised to find out that he emited no color.
Instead, a colorful cluster of symbols caught his attention.
Just as he was about to concentrate and attempt to peek further, his intuition warned him of danger.
At the same time, Alexander felt as if someone was peeking at him.
Turning to look at Klein, he found that he was looking at him weirdly.
'Klein is courting death again.', he thought.
He didn't know his exact situation, but he could guess that his own personality wasn't as simple as it seemed.
He might be a Sequence 7 Briber, but in fact he is a Sequence 2 Duke of Entropy.
He might be a Sequence 2 Duke of Entropy, but in fact he possesses 2 different Sefirots.
Would looking at him with Spirit Vision be the same as looking at a half-Great Old One?
Alexander didn't know the answer to this question, neither was there a way to confirm his guesses.
Meanwhile, Audrey and Alger had completed their previous deal, and Alger gave his superficial understanding of acting.
"It's not about grasping them, but rather digesting."
"It's not about discovery, but rather acting."
"The name of the potion is the key to digesting."
By now, Klein had recovered from his shock and took the opportunity to show off the knowledge he learnt through Roselle's diary.
"This is just an advance payment.", he added, while taking glances at Alexander.
'Mr. Emperor should already know this knowledge.'
'Judging from his aura, Mr. Hanged Man is way stronger than Old Neil, and Mr. Emperor is way stronger than Mr. Hanged Man.'
"Mr. Fool, what do you wish for us to do?", Audrey asked and Alger nodded in agreement.
"Collect Mr. Roselle's diary for me, even if it's just a page.", Klein said and leaned back on his chair.
Actually, one of the main reasons that Alexander participated in the Tarot Club was because of Roselle's diary.
When he learnt that he had transmigrated earlier, he also wanted to collect Roselle's diary and try to see if he made any guest appearances.
However, he then thought of a very crucial problem.
He doesn't speak Chinese.
Although Roselle was obviously inspired by the Europeans of the middle ages, he didn't write his diary in English, but in fucking Chinese.
Wasn't CuttlefishThatLovesDiving nerfing western transmigators?
Returning to the present, the rest of the members had just reported some random events that happened in the Beyonder world.
Alger mentioned about the Black Tulip and Klein about the Antigonus notebook, before Audrey proceeded to talk about the systemic problems of the Loen Kingdom prompting Klein to suggest an examination system.
Seeing Audrey and Klein so happy, Alexander felt that it might be for the best to remind them to not hold high expectations.
"Actually, while it is true that there is a problem with the way the government is currently structured, it's not like there is a single solution to it."
"You're thinking of solving the problem through an ordinary person's perspective, when in fact, most people in power are powerful Beyonders."
"If the king and his ministers really wanted to find a solution, they could easily do so, it's just that they can't afford to care.", Alexander shook his head and explained.
"Say what you want about the churches, but it's obvious that they have a huge influence in the politics of their respective countries, second only to the country's king, and they also do nothing."
He was clearly saying "see? the churches are as bad as the Kingdom".
In fact, Alexander was just finding an opportunity to take a jab at the Evernight Goddess.
He didn't forget that she had previously killed him in the simulation, right after he called her name.
Making Klein suspicious of her would not only satisfy him, but maybe help in his future plans.
Most importantly, he simply didn't like her because of her actions in the original book.
Although Klein is said to be the protagonist, the Evernight Goddess might be the secret protagonist of the story.
She manipulated Klein throughout his extraordinary journey, in order to obtain as many benefits aspossible.
Of course, Alexander would also do the same if he was in her shoes.
It's just that two fully rational, scheming and self-centered people don't make a great match.
If the Evernight Goddess knew that Alexander was slandering her because of a book, even being an incarnation wouldn't be able to save him.
