After biting down a mouthful of the legendary dried fish made from deep sea unnamed fish species, Alice felt this kind of fish's only shortcoming was coming from deep sea.
Not too easy to catch.
She licked her lips, tentatively asked Edwina: "Normally speaking, naming rights should be enjoyed by the first discoverer, didn't this fish's discoverer give it a name?"
"No." Edwina shook her head, looked like she completely didn't care what the fish she ate was called.
Alice lowered her head to observe the fish in her hand, her learned knowledge couldn't help her determine this fish's species, could only tell her this fish had delicate meat texture, delicious taste, one bite down amazingly good...
Oh, this was tasted out.
Alice licked her lips, asked Edwina: "You say, can I give this fish a name?"
Edwina raised her head to look at Alice, obviously, she was also somewhat curious how Alice with that unique way of thinking would name things.
This was tacit permission, Alice looked down at the dried fish in her hand, then raised her head and seriously analyzed:
"You see, it comes from deep sea, taste is also very delicious, how about calling it...
"Deep Sea Delicious Fish!" Note①
Edwina's gaze became bewildered.
"Did I name this badly?" Alice seriously asked.
Edwina was quiet for over ten seconds, only then used a voice that couldn't hear emotion to answer: "Very... very creative naming."
Alice immediately smiled with curved eyes, while eating while muttering: "I said so, I'm really good at naming..."
Edwina made no comment on this.
After dinner wasn't sleeping time, Alice followed Edwina out of the dining hall, curiously asked:
"Generally speaking, after eating dinner what do you all do?"
"Depends on situation," Edwina while leading her toward outside the cabin, while saying, "Generally speaking, I would be in the collection room, or reading books."
Alice looked at her with surprise.
"Very surprised?" Edwina asked back.
"Mm..." Alice looked up at the sea surface not yet swallowed by darkness, "Normally speaking, even if you don't participate in some games... like playing cards, gambling, drinking and such, should also go to deck to walk and look at scenery..."
Edwina was slightly silent for two seconds, then asked: "What do you think is the scenery we most commonly see?"
"Uh..." Alice hesitated, "The sea?"
"Correct," Edwina nodded, "And very unfortunately, the sea in all places is the same."
"No," Alice couldn't help correcting, "When shipwrecks happen, the sea is different."
Edwina looked at Alice with extremely complex gaze.
Alice was silent for two seconds, instinctively raised her head to study stars in the sky, then suddenly remembered "Mother Tree of Desire", she silently lowered her head to study patterns on the deck.
Edwina rationally didn't try to reason with her, decided to write these things together in a letter to tell Gehrman Sparrow later.
As everyone knows, in education, both family education and school education are important.
Edwina began changing topics:
"Under normal circumstances, this time other people would be in rooms reviewing morning learned knowledge.
"However, tomorrow night will be an exception.
"I think you might be interested in a bonfire party? This is also our way of expressing welcome."
Alice's eyes indeed brightened.
So Edwina knew the answer, she led Alice into the room arranged for her, said to her:
"This is your room.
"If you want to read books, I have books to lend you—you won't damage the books, right?"
"If damaged I'll also fix them!" Alice confidently said.
"...How to fix?" Edwina remembered Alice getting Groselle's Travels and tearing it decisively, couldn't help asking.
Alice thought, raised her left hand, used her right hand to grab her left sleeve, forcefully pulled—rip sound, the sleeve was torn into two pieces by her.
Afterwards, Alice put down her right hand, under "Restart's" effect, the sleeve again according to original trajectory pieced back to original position, even raised wrinkles were exactly the same.
Edwina's eyes brightened several more points, she looked at Alice, words in her throat turned several times, only then had final result:
"This is what sequence ability?"
"Sequence 1." Alice explained.
Edwina's eyes again dimmed, gave up.
Alice hesitated and asked: "Do you have books that need repairing?"
"No," Edwina shook her head, "You should have heard I can simulate abilities I've seen?"
"Ah," Alice suddenly understood, "This I can't help with... I, I demonstrate several more times for you to see?"
She blinked and met Edwina's gaze, Edwina only then realized, she was genuinely wanting to help.
Really is a child... Edwina slightly amused shook her head, refused this proposal:
"No need, rather than this, you might as well consider properly attending class, help me digest potion."
"Eh?" Alice surprised widened her eyes, "There's actually teacher sequence!"
Since it wasn't asking about her specific abilities, Alice guessing her pathway also wasn't difficult, Edwina generously answered:
"'Reader' pathway Sequence 5, called 'Mysticism Magister'."
"'Reader'..." Alice thoughtfully repeated, "No wonder you like reading books..."
"Do you need?" Edwina asked.
"No... oh, wait," Alice first firmly shook her head, thought and asked again, "Are there fairy tales and novels!"
"Yes." Edwina nodded.
In fact, if there weren't, I also wouldn't suggest letting her read books... after all she looks like she couldn't quietly sit down and read textbooks.
Edwina sighed in her heart, raised her head to look at Alice with bright eyes, understood her meaning.
So several minutes later, Alice looked at the thick stack of books Edwina brought over and fell into contemplation.
"Finish reading then come ask me for more." Edwina gently smiled once, left the room.
Alice looked at that stack of books, reached out to gesture, discovered that stack of books could pile from her waist straight to her chest.
She painfully closed her eyes, threw her body on the bed, over ten seconds later, she opened her eyes looking at the ceiling and murmured to herself:
"If eating books could learn the knowledge inside would be good... hmm, this way also won't work, books definitely would be hard to eat... no, also not necessarily..."
Alice slowly straightened her body, somewhat hesitantly looked at that thick stack of books, slowly licked her lips.
