"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"

Audrey, the Justice, once again spoke with a cheerful voice from within the palace above the gray fog. After greeting Mr. Fool, Audrey, the Justice, looked to the side, intending to greet her Tarot Club companions as usual, but paused, her gaze landing on the unfamiliar figure beside her.

Huh? Has the Tarot Club gained a new member?

Audrey, the Justice, who always had the spirit of a senior member, was immediately pleasantly surprised. She instinctively sized up the new member of the Tarot Club beside her, then paused slightly.

A woman… wavy brown hair… and this figure… doesn't she look a bit like Miss Fors?

Audrey, the Justice, felt a bit curious, but didn't immediately jump to a conclusion. After all, women with wavy brown hair weren't uncommon, and Fors' figure wasn't as unique as Xio's. It was possible, though unlikely, for someone to possess both characteristics simultaneously.

I need to observe further. If her speech habits are similar to Miss Fors, then the possibility of her being Fors is very high…

Audrey, the Justice, thought, then generously asked with a smile, "Mr. Fool, who is this?"

— Incidentally, the reason Audrey, the Justice, didn't immediately confirm Fors' identity as she did in the original work is largely due to the butterfly effect brought about by Lin Ruo.

Although Audrey, the Justice, now knows Fors and Xio in the real world, their relationship isn't as close as in the original work because Lin Ruo has intervened, replacing some of Fors' and Xio's roles with Audrey, the Justice. Also, Fool Klein didn't issue any tasks related to Lanevus and others, so Audrey, the Justice's relationship with Fors and Xio is actually a bit weaker than in the original timeline.

In addition, Fors joined the club much earlier, so at this stage, Audrey, the Justice, had considered inviting new members to join the Tarot Club, but hadn't really taken action. Now, seeing a new member who looked somewhat similar to Fors, she was naturally surprised and couldn't immediately confirm the other party's identity.

Faced with this question, Fool Klein replied with a smile:

"This is our new member, Miss Magician."

Then, he introduced the other members of the Tarot Club to Fors, the Magician:

"This is Miss Justice, this is Mr. Hanged Man, this is Mr. Chariot…"

Having just arrived at the gray fog, Fors, the Magician, who felt like an outsider, immediately carefully noted the code names and their corresponding people, while subconsciously glancing around at the other members of the Tarot Club, trying to find the trace of Rudy.

She wasn't sure if Rudy was a member of the Tarot Club, after all, she didn't dare to ask. She just thought that this kind of gathering before the gods might include a devout believer like Rudy, who seemed deeply favored by Mr. Fool, so she wanted to look for him. In a sense, this was actually Fors' reaction after joining a new, seemingly high-end gathering, feeling panicked and instinctively looking for a backer.

After all, even if Rudy's urging of manuscripts made her afraid, aside from that, Fors' impression of Rudy was actually not bad, so she naturally wanted to find a backer deep down.

However, after scanning all the members of the Tarot Club, Fors, the Magician, was disappointed because she didn't see any member with Rudy's characteristics.

So, he's not a member of the Tarot Club… Fors, the Magician, thought, finally starting to observe the surrounding Tarot Club members one by one, her gaze first falling on Miss Justice.

Blonde hair and blue eyes… Miss Justice looks quite young, seemingly about the same age as Miss Audrey. Her demeanor is very good, her posture is elegant, um, she should have received training in this area. She has many accessories on her body. Although I can't see the details clearly, Miss Justice's background should be quite high. Could she be a noble?

Because she couldn't see the details of the clothes and accessories with her unique eyes like Hermit, Fors, the Magician, didn't immediately understand how noble and imposing Audrey, the Justice, was. She could only guess that the other party should be a noble with a high birth, and didn't associate her with any acquaintances.

Then, Fors, the Magician, turned her gaze to Mr. Hanged Man and the others on the opposite side, successively drawing conclusions about Mr. Hanged Man, Mr. Sun, "a leader of a certain force who doesn't like to talk," and "a silent, introverted young man who may be as weak as me." Finally, her gaze fell on Lin Ruo.

Um, black hair and black eyes… this hair color and eye color combination is quite rare. He doesn't seem very old either, about my age? His smile is very gentle, he seems like a very easygoing person… Fors, the Magician, silently ranked the Tarot Club members in terms of how easy they were to get along with in her heart, and her thoughts wandered in the next second.

I wonder what Sequence these people are… they all seem very powerful. Why did they join this gathering?

As a professional writer, Fors, the Magician, couldn't help but imagine the stories behind each Tarot Club member in her mind.

While she was imagining, the other Tarot Club members, having finished observing the new member, also withdrew their gazes, among whom Lin Ruo naturally had an even brighter smile.

He could tell that Audrey, the Justice, had likely guessed Fors' identity, while Salted Fish Fors hadn't associated Miss Justice with Miss Audrey she knew.

This was obviously because the clues weren't sufficient. But it didn't matter, the clues for the diary of Emperor Roselle would appear soon, and Lin Ruo believed that Salted Fish Fors could still make some associations.

Just then, Alger, the Hanged Man, who still owed Mr. Fool a page of Emperor Roselle's diary, said while conjuring the diary of Emperor Roselle:

"Mr. Fool, this is the last page of Emperor Roselle's diary that I promised."

What? Emperor Roselle's diary? That's a diary?

Mr. Fool can understand Emperor Roselle's notes… no, diary?

No, wait, he said the last page he promised… do the Tarot Club members have a habit of collecting Emperor Roselle's diaries? Did Mr. Fool issue a task in this regard?

Fors, the Magician, immediately became interested. Although she didn't have Emperor Roselle's diary herself, she knew that Miss Audrey had quite a few of them and liked to collect them. The last time they went to the Beyonder Gathering held by Mr. A, Miss Audrey bought three more pages of Emperor Roselle's diary… wait!

Miss Audrey likes to collect Emperor Roselle's diaries… Rudy, this devout believer of the Fool, seems to have a good relationship with Miss Audrey… Miss Justice of the Tarot Club has the same blonde hair and blue eyes as Miss Audrey, is about the same age, and also comes from a noble family…

As if a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, Fors, the Magician, stared blankly in the direction of Miss Justice. If she couldn't see anything without any associations, now that she had some guesses, no matter how she looked at the figure of Miss Justice next to her, she felt that her figure was similar to someone's.

Miss Justice = Miss Audrey?

Fors, the Magician, gradually widened her eyes.
