Alice's House of Fortune
Alright... This time for sure! Here goes!
Why do you have to talk like that when picking a card...?
Heeyah!
Oh... Oooh!
What is it? What did she get?
Espi, maybe you should just head home today.
Trap, the Tears card. Looks like you won't get to peek into Master's dreams today.
How is this possible?! How is every card I choose an unlucky card?!
Is it really THAT unlucky that you won't be able to sneak into my dreams?!
It can't be helped. That's just what you chose.
Ugh! This doesn't count! Let's try again!
That's the 50th card you've redrawn already... And wait... Are you even listening to what I said?!
Ugh, be quiet, Master!
Honestly, you're doing this reading right in front of me... This plan of yours was a failure from the start!
I cannot accept this! I wanna draw a new one!
Sure, go ahead and draw another one.
Espi deliberates carefully as she moves her hand over the cards.
*Sparkle*
Huh? What's that? Did that card just sparkle?
Espi's hand passes over the sparkling card and comes to rest on a different one.
Huh? Why is she just passing over that card? Wait, what's with that look on Alice's face?
Okay, this is the one!
The Hanged Phantom. Um... If you go into Master's room today, something terrible will happen to you, Espi.
UGH! Let's go again!
I'm telling you... today's not your day. Why don't we try again tomorrow?
Hmm, I guess you're right. Fine, I'll try again tomorrow!
Good, good. Opportunity will always come knocking.
Listen, you two... How can you say that stuff when I'm right here?! You're not gonna get that "opportunity," okay?!
Alright! I'll go plan for tomorrow then! Thanks, Alice!
Hehe, make it a good one!
I can hear everything you're saying! And stop getting her hopes up, Alice!
*Scurry, whoosh*
Hmm, time to clean up a bit...
*Shuffle*
Oh, you know? It's been a while since your last reading. Wanna give it a go, Master?
Yeah, sounds good!
Alright, then. Have a seat.
*Shuffle*
Okay... I need to draw three, right? This one... and this one...
Hmm... which one should I choose next...?
That sparkly card... I really wanna know what that is...
Okay... this one! H-Huh?!
Oh... Oooh!
Hey, Alice... Why can't I grab this one?
You're the first one to choose the lucky—huh? What are you talking about? You just grabbed it.
*Thwip*
Wait, hold on... try handing it to me.
The card Alice hands me passes through my hand and falls onto the table below.
Wait, could this be a Yearning?
A Yearning? What's that?
Well... U-Umm. To put it simply, it's something you desire, made real. It's like your dream has taken shape.
What do you mean? Make it simpler.
Um... Basically, while you were doing readings for everyone, something you wished for ended up manifesting through your own power—without you even realizing it.
This lucky card?
Yeah. You could say it's a card imbued with your own wishes. Of course, no one else can see or touch it except for me. I can see it, but it seems I can't touch it.
Oh... No wonder no one else has been able to choose this card until now.
Exactly. That's why—
Eeeeek! I love it so much!
Huh?
Only I can draw it, and only I can see it! It's truly a card just for me!
You're my lucky card! Luck that's only visible to me!
Absolutely delighted, Alice tucks away her card with utmost care.
She's really happy, isn't she? But wait... Hold on...
Even if she didn't realize no one else could see it... She kept shuffling it into the deck while doing her readings for others... That means...
Aww, Alice... She actually wanted them to pick the lucky card, didn't she?
Oh, you little rascal! You're such a nice little girl, aren't you?!
Yikes! Wh-What the...?!
Aww, you're such a good girl.
Geez! What's going on?!
