After some friendly negotiations and exchanges, Klein finally mastered the correct method of communicating with this robin familiar.

First of all, of course, Alice must be given top priority.

Just come up with simple words such as "This is your master's expectation", "Your master will definitely be satisfied with your hard work" and so on, and then bring the topic to potion play-acting, and just find a few

Reason, and finally promised to give her fresh fruit as reward, and a useful tool bird familiar was born.

But this does not mean that the little guy is stupid and easy to trick.

In order to teach this naughty little bird a lesson, Klein thought of many ways to deal with it, but the clever little thing saw through them all and avoided them.

As long as Alice is not moved out, there is nothing he can do against Eve.

However, now that she has been promoted to "Clown", she may be able to solve some problems with brute force, but look at the cute and rosy face of the little girl in front of her, and listen to her pretending to complain about her master Alice giving too many orders, but in fact, she is not satisfied with all kinds of things.

With Chai holding on to his lively motivation to try, Klein gave up the idea of ​​dealing with this naughty kid.

Out of trust in Alice, he asked Eve to help him run errands to buy complicated items that were not too expensive but required going to many different stores.

In this way, even if something unexpected happens and Eve fails to successfully complete the task he assigned, it will not put a big burden on his financial situation... Well, at the worst, Alice can just compensate for the loss of the material costs.

After watching Eve leave after finishing her berry breakfast, Klein simply tidied up the house, put on his outer coat, picked up his newly purchased cane and silk hat, and prepared to go out for a run.

Just as he walked into the foyer, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and walked to the living room, where he saw Alice sitting on the sofa, staring at a small silver mirror in her hand.

"Do you have any plans for the morning? Well, I mean..." After thinking about his words, Klein looked directly at the pair of watery eyes looking over, "If you have nothing to do, can you go out with me to do something?"

Something? It’s convenient for me to tell you some of my ideas on the way, about how to plan for the future, such as...for example, I need a reasonable false identity in Backlund, a job that can support my living expenses..."

Otherwise, I won’t be able to support you and your familiars... Hey, wait, today’s breakfast...

As if to answer his doubts, Alice shook her head with a smile, flipped the silver mirror over on the coffee table, and stood up.

"I have arrangements this morning. I plan to tidy up the house." In Klein's almost surprised expression, she blinked twice and her tone sounded relaxed and happy, "Don't look like the sky is falling, start from me.

Isn’t it weird that you’re mouthing the phrase tidying up your house?”

"...Of course it's strange, very strange. I've never seen you doing housework, and I can't imagine such a scene." Klein replied very honestly.

"I will hire someone to take care of it and buy some necessities. Mainly I want to pick out an extra room on the second floor that is not being used and turn it into a piano room to facilitate the placement of my musical instruments..." At the end of the sentence,

Alice finally added slowly and slowly, "An Xin, I won't touch your private money."

That's good……

Realizing that his relief seemed too obvious, Klein cleared his throat, stopped covering his pocket containing cash, and changed the subject nonchalantly:

"Then I'll go out to do some things first, to prepare for my reputation as a private detective in the future... Well, you know, you don't have to be famous to avoid being targeted by official organizations, but you can't be too unknown, otherwise you won't even be able to eat.

It’s all a problem.”

After briefly explaining some of his considerations to Alice, he saw her raising her finger to the corner of her lips, with a light smile on her face:

"Actually, you don't need to think about food expenses. You have already paid for the rent of the house. Let me pay for the three meals... Well, I will pay for it and Eve will contribute. What do you think?"

"This..." This is so embarrassing! Klein tried to suppress his exposed emotions and pretended to be serious, "I think we should at least reach an agreement on the dishes and tastes, and decide on the ingredients to be purchased one day in advance.

What dishes should I make…”

"Eve only likes to eat a variety of berries and fruits that are rich in sugar, so you don't need to consider her opinion; personally... I'm not particularly picky about food, as long as it can be eaten."

Looking at the smile on Alice's face that gradually deepened, as if she had a winning ticket, Klein's heart suddenly surged with a familiar yet unfamiliar warmth, as if something rooted in his heart had absorbed this warmth, constantly and rapidly.

The branches sprout from the ground.

Unfortunately, before he had time to reflect on this strange mood, the girl in front of him came closer, walking as lightly as a clingy cat, and circled around him, her eyes half-closed in satisfaction or pleasure.

"You are so easily satisfied... Okay, I have received today's treat, so go ahead and do your best."

After being pushed out of the house by the witch who wiped her mouth and refused to recognize anyone after eating and drinking, Klein stood on the side of the street with his cane, even confused for a moment about what he should do next.

Until the door behind her was opened from the inside, and Alice's voice came softly:

"By the way, I just forgot to ask you, what do you want to eat for lunch?"

"Lunch……"

Standing on the streets of an unfamiliar city, I silently raised my head and looked up at the gloomy, gray sky, as if shrouded in mist, at this humid morning that I had rarely experienced in Tingen.

He breathed out gently, and a bright and bright smile appeared on his face.

"Stewed lamb with peas. Let's make this dish for lunch."

…………

The morning's trip went more smoothly than Klein expected.

"Spending money is like running water..."

Feeling his increasingly thin pockets, Klein silently calculated his current total wealth.

Take away the 30 pounds spent on advertising to promote the detective "Sherlock Moriarty", take away the 1 pound spent on buying gold-rimmed glasses, wigs and fake beards, take away the 17 sole rent for renting a "safe house" in the East End, and take away the payment.

3 pounds to buy some ceremony materials for Eve...

The cash in his pocket has fallen below the 65-pound mark, reaching a rather dangerous and disturbing value.

Fortunately, I don’t have to spend money to eat... No, I am not eating free rice, nor am I eating soft rice. At most, I am responsible for the food and lodging issues with her.

Taking the relatively cost-effective subway back to the Jowood District, it took another twenty minutes to walk to Minsk Street. While walking, Klein was thinking about future development plans. He quickly sorted out some feasible ideas and made effective use of them.

This is the time spent walking.

But when he used the key to open the front door of No. 15 Minsk Street, walked into the foyer and looked at the living room and dining room, Klein almost thought he had entered the wrong house, and almost turned back to the street to reconfirm the house number.

He had been out all morning, and the interior of this cold and empty house seemed to have changed!

The floors in the living room and dining room are covered with thick and beautiful wool carpets; the fireplace in the living room is filled with fashionable smokeless coals, and the charcoal fire is burning red, radiating a comfortable warmth; the dining room

There are a lot of tea sets and tableware in the cabinet, and the empty space adjacent to the cabinet has a wine rack for placing wine bottles. It is filled with at least a dozen thin-necked glasses that look delicate and stylish enough.

wine bottle.

This...this is definitely Alice's handiwork, there is nothing wrong with it.

Holding back the twitching at the corner of his mouth, Klein silently calculated the prices of these luxury items, and at the same time, he complained in his heart to the little glutton who could not control himself even though he could not drink more than a few sips of wine——

The extra money has no place to use, so you can invest it in me, and let me use modern people's vision to invest in products and small businesses with development prospects, and get returns from them. Wouldn't it be better!

Spurred by the aroma wafting from the kitchen, Klein quickly walked around the completely changed first floor, then walked up to the second floor, trying to find Alice.

He did not forget that the tone in which Alice mentioned "buying some necessary items" before was completely incidental and incidental! Her main purpose was to organize a piano room for herself!

Klein saw her in the tanning room with half of the dark curtains drawn.

She stretched out her hand to touch the piano keys, but she only touched them lightly without pressing them down. Alice stood silently without even uttering a single note.

At a certain moment when she raised her head and stared at her, he even regretted that he had rushed in and interrupted her confused look as if she was reminiscing about something.

But she didn't say anything. She just turned her gaze, allowing Klein to follow her gaze, looking at the large harp placed not far from the piano, at the violin sleeping quietly in the piano case, and at the room full of people.

Mechanically beautiful pipe organ...

...Wait, pipe organ?! This thing was placed in churches on the earth before I traveled through time. It was an extremely expensive antique musical instrument!

Klein stared in astonishment at the large instrument that was perfectly integrated with the brass-colored pipes. He felt bursts of dazzling light, and the light called the golden pound radiated from its simple keys.

In addition to these musical instruments that he could recognize, this spacious piano room also contained a viola case, and there were also several other Western musical instruments hanging on the wall that he could not name at all...

"You...these instruments..." Klein even used the power of the "Joker" potion to control his facial expressions. "How much did you...use? In case our landlady sees it,

All my previous words were in vain..."

"Huh? It's not a lot..." Alice easily estimated a number that could make one's heart stop. Then she asked curiously, "What did you say to the landlady? You said you don't have much money. Can the rent be cheaper?"

"

"Ahem, that's definitely not so straightforward. I expressed it very tactfully..." Klein turned to look at the gold pounds in this room, gritted his teeth and moved closer to her, "You, you are really wasting this house.

The lease is only for half a year, so there is no need to spend money on these...luxury enjoyments."

He finally discovered: this witch always calculates clearly when it comes to making money and is not willing to give in even a penny; but when it comes to spending money, why is she so extravagant and doesn't know how to be frugal?

He originally thought that she just wanted a room to play the lyre, so he didn't think much about it. Unexpectedly, she brought in so many musical instruments that it looked like she was setting up a band to hold a concert here.

Mrs. Summer next door didn’t know what she would think when she saw it...

But in the face of his invisible doubts, Alice blocked his words in her throat with just one sentence.

"I'm not spending your money, so why do you feel bad?"

I feel sorry for the money... Klein swallowed his answer silently, followed the guidance of his heart, and said that he just came upstairs to call her for lunch.

"Well, okay, let me clean it up." Alice nodded, turned around and closed the lids of the piano cases, put down the keyboard cover of the piano, and said at the same time, "Eve, help you put it away."

After you buy the things, put them on the table in the living room. Remember to take inventory."

He pinched his brows, resisting the urge to sigh at these common conversations, and nodded slightly with a smile.

After enjoying the delicious lamb cooked by his familiar, Klein reviewed the materials that were given to Eve to purchase. He found that the little guy had completed the errands very well. After purchasing all the materials, he still had a surplus of 13 sulers.

5p budget.

You know, he had carefully calculated the material expenses before. After buying the ordinary materials for the ceremony, he should have spent exactly 3 pounds.
