Chapter 29 What you see is what you usually ge (2/2)

There are some people that she cannot use this ability on, and it included Lord Ergo.

Unfortunately for Alina, she was not sure how Lord Ergo becameimmune to her ability.

But aside from Lord Ergo and other rare people, she can use her truth abilityon almost everyone, and that saved her from a lot of unnecessary effort.

And Alex was included in this 'everyone'.

****************

------Around 9 days ago.------

WhenAlina saw Alex inside Clint's house, she was able to see through Alex's facial disguise with the Fairy Dust.

Alina felt like she can see Alex's real face using her Truth Ability, while she can see the fake face of Alex with her naked eyes.

At that time, Alina was about to attack Alex, as she recognized that the Alex in her uncle's house was the Class S Intruder that she was chasing.

Alina was sure that Alex used his Intruder Abilities to change his face, allowing him to approach her Uncle.

But she restrained her impulse to attack as she noticed three weird things about Alex at that time.

First is the fact that her Uncle allowed Alex to stay with her.

Even if her Uncle has no way to see through illusions like she can do, her Uncle is still one of the best Espers there is, and there is no way that he will allow someone like Alex in his house unless he deemed it safe.

Second was the fact that even if the World Diagram has considered Alex to be an Intruder, the disguised Alex did not act like he was one.

He seemed... too human for Alina.

An Intruder, even an Intruder that is good at infiltration will not act as human as the Alex in front of Alina.

If these two weird things were the only things that Alina saw, they will be not enough to stop Alina.

It was the third weird thing however, that effectively stopped Alina.

”....” Alina could see a small, human-like creature sitting on Alex's left shoulder.

This creature looked like e female human.

A beautiful, blonde, and sexy woman.

She was only the size of a small bird, but her overall appearance managed to light up the whole room.

”Cute…” That was the only thing that Alina thought to herself as she saw this small blonde perched at Alex's shoulders.

Alina was not sure why, but she felt the sudden urge to approach and pet the small blonde.

However, she restrained herself from doing so, as she realized that this small blonde is not seen by her Uncle and his family.

”So this small blonde must have been only be visible to this guy…” Alina then acted like she did not see the small blonde, so that she will not rouse Alex's attention.

Alina then narrowed her eyes as she remembered something about that small blonde.

That was the fact that this small blonde was not with Alex when Alina tried to kill him at their first meeting.

”That means that this small blonde just appeared after this guy escaped from me earlier…” Alina thought to herself as she gazed at the small blonde with interest.

The small blonde suddenly trembled, as if she felt Alina's gaze on her.

Alina tried to hastily avert her gaze away, but the small blonde caught Alina staring at her.

”...” The small blonde gave Alina a dazzling smile, which just served to intrigue Alina more.

”Ugh, I want to take her home as my pet…” Alina thought to herself as she tried sneaking glances at the cute blonde.

Because of that small blonde, Alina lost her chance and drive to kill Alex at that place.

----Minutes later.----

”....” Alina left her Uncle's place with a brooding expression as she tried to understand the enigma that was Alex.

And naturally that includes the mystery of that small blonde.

”That Alex guy… he is not just an Intruder…” Alina thought to herself as she reached her current dwelling place.

”I need to investigate him more… especially that small blonde.” Suppressing her urge to sigh, Alina changed her clothes as she went into a deep sleep.

Her sleep however was thwarted when she felt someone entering her room.

It was around 3 in the morning when Alina detected someone intruding her room. Her body tightened in tension as she looked at the intruder warily.

”Hey, it seems like you really can see this Fairy Queen. Hmph, you should have been happy that you saw my visage!”

The person who entered Alina's room was actually Asteria.

Alina reveled on Asteria's extremely adorable and beautiful appearance as she tried to sense if Asteria was here with hostile intentions.

As far as Alina could sense it, Asteria was not here to fight.

”Hmph, I applaud you for not trying to kill Alex earlier.” Asteria said as she gave Alina a haughty look. ”However, with that ability of yours, Alex's chance to stay discreet is in danger of blowing up. Because of that, I have no choice but to talk to you right now.”

”Woosh~”

Alina suddenly stood up from her bed, revealing her nightgown which hugged her lithe and shapely body perfectly.

Alina ignored Asteria's somewhat intense gaze on her body as she asked her,

”So, small blonde, you want to talk with me about keeping Alex's secret safe?”

”Yes. That is my intention here.” Asteria said, with her eyes looking enviously as Alina's silky black hair and slender legs. ”Will you accept this Fairy Queen's regal invitation to talk?''

”I agree.” Alina nodded her head quickly, like she was a chick pecking on some grains.

But before Asteria could start talking, Alina suddenly stretched her right hand towards Asteria's direction as she asked Asteria,

”But can I pet you first?”

”....”
