Team villains except me

Nolvia stopped, her water magic ready to go, Elliott and Dooku stood beside her, blocking the crowded crowd.

Norvia quickly looked at the source of the sound, and soon, Norvia's eyes were fixed on an atavistic species.

Very familiar.

The "Blessing of Alanbel" team, the two-headed eagle tribe, descendants of the goddess of justice Themis.

If she remembered correctly, the name of this two-headed eagle atavism was Betty. Betty Themis.

"Why are you here? Laili, is your team here? Are you... planning to do something?"

The two-headed eagle beastman pushed through the crowd and ran to Norvia, panting, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.

"You still remember me, right? I'm Beatty Themis. I'm from the 'Aranbelle's Blessing' team, and my captain is Roland."

"I remember you. Good morning."

Nolvia patted Ellit and Dooku, and the water magic in her hand dissipated.

Beatty was a little reckless. Her balance seemed to be off, and she was wearing different socks, so when she stood up, her body swayed a little.

Biti was carrying a large school bag, which smelled of food.

"I came out to buy breakfast. This isn't a good place to chat. So, come with me to the church first. The church is the closest to here. Ben works there. I'll just tell Niedoan."

Norvia thought she seemed to hear a string of names that seemed strange and familiar to her, but she intuitively knew that the church Bitti was talking about was the Jialu Church she wanted to go to.

So Norvia nodded obediently and used water magic to lift up Bitti's backpack.

Beati didn't notice, she just walked faster, and when she turned around and saw Nolvia and the others behind her, she smiled embarrassedly.

"I walked too fast - shouldn't I? I usually walk at this speed, and I think it's quite slow. Oh! Magic! Thank you! You are still as meticulous as before. Heka told me. In the competition last semester, the dessert competition, you took over from her, and she knew it. Otherwise, she would have fallen and it hurt a lot."

Beati looked at Nolvia with a smile.

"When I saw you just now, I thought it was an illusion. You don't know how excited I was. The chance of seeing classmates in this strange country is really small. If you are here, are all your team here?"

Norvia nodded.

Biti was overjoyed.

“That’s great.”

She was humming a song and her schoolbag was shaking as she walked.

Ellit grabbed Norvia and asked with a frown who this stranger was and why he followed her.

"Roland's teammate, the descendant of God. You met her during the dessert competition. Don't you remember her?"

Elliott asked inexplicably.

"Why would I remember her? She can't beat me, so why don't you and Hugh remember it? 'Alanbell's Blessing', we are not familiar with this team, why did she start to lead the way so naturally?"

"Ellit, our destination should be the same. Bitti is a two-headed eagle atavism, and it is obvious what she is doing in Lanier.

I think we should be able to see some of our classmates at the Church of Jesus Christ.”

Nolvia quietly placed a candy in Ellit's palm.

"Star apple candy, only available here, it is said to taste like a mixture of grapes and coconut. Ellit, you can only eat one."

Elliott held the candy tightly, and his flowing hair looked like gold under the light.

He curled his lips and held the candy tightly, then followed Nolvia and asked her if she had ever eaten it.

"No. This candy was given by the stall owner. She didn't sell it but made it for the children at home. I asked her for one.

It seems to take half a month to make this kind of candy. If it tastes good, I will order some. "

"Oh."

Elliott opened the rough candy wrapper and looked at the somewhat transparent star apple candy. After a while, he went to Dooku for a sharp tool and divided the candy into three parts.

Of the three uneven lumps of candy, he picked the largest one.

He then gave the remaining two pieces to Nolvia and Dooku.

"What if it doesn't taste good? You have to eat with me."

Norvia laughed.

"well."

She and Dooku took the candy from Elliott's hand, and Nolvia used water magic to brush off the crumbs on Elliott's hand.

Star apple candies are mildly sweet.

Elliott complained unhappily.

"How can this be called candy? It's not sweet at all, it's like eating hard fruit!"

"That suits you better, Ellit."

Norvia was in a good mood. Her blue eyes narrowed slightly and she smiled deeply.

"I'll go to the stall owner and order some later."

"Nolvaya——"

"what happened?"

"I have the Image Stone."

"That doesn't threaten me, Elliott."

Norvia was humming a soft tune, a passage from Menelo's new opera.

Dooku had also watched Menillot's opera, and he quickly remembered which scene and passage Nolvia was humming.

[…In this clean new world, I predict my future with great respect…]

Dooku looked up at the sky and saw many female eagles with large wings flying. The wind was very strong.

The smell of the ocean was salty and bitter. Dooku thought that every time such a smell appeared, Norvia would be a little happier.

He likes the seaside.

He loves anything that can make his teammates go soft. He loves it all.

He also liked star apple candies. He knew Norvia would buy a lot, lots and lots, for everyone.

——The thought of being able to eat star apple candies while making new things in the living room at Rose Mansion also made him float.

He thought that what he liked was probably not the fixed place, but his teammates. So, if his teammates were in the abyss, he would also feel that it was a warm home.

He now had many places to live. Many places where he would not be locked out, where it was not cold and hard, empty and bloody. There was Rose Mansion, the Lord's Mansion in Irene, his grandparents' home in Titag, and Teacher Garcia's home.

Every home has his things and a room that belongs to him.

Dooku, holding the star apple candy that was about to disappear, walked quickly towards Nolvia.

"Star Apple Candy..."

Nolvaya stopped.

The little puppet with silver hair and purple eyes rarely appears on Dooku's shoulder. I don't know when Dooku stopped using the little puppet to express his emotions.

Dooku never removed his mask, but he rarely wore his hooded garment anymore.

Elliott gave him some fashionable hats, some with holes in them and some with chains of different shapes. Dooku wore them for a few days, but when he was in class, all the teachers looked at him strangely, sometimes asking some questions, and some even worriedly asked him if he had any psychological problems due to too much pressure.

Dooku refused to wear it to school anymore.

Under the urging of Lin Cen and Lulu, Norvia continued to share all the clothes in her large warehouse with her teammates.

The woolen hat that Dooku wore recently was the one from the warehouse.

Dooku's changes always occur in the ordinary daily interactions.

Nolvia couldn't remember exactly when she last saw the puppet on Dooku's shoulder. But she knew that a long time ago, when Dooku was not carrying his puppet but was still read correctly by everyone, he stood there for a while and smiled slightly with his eyes.

After that, the little puppets no longer appeared frequently.

Sometimes when Eldit made him angry or Spider's behavior was too extreme, Dooku would deliberately take out his little puppet, put it on his shoulder, and then remain silent.

But even if he didn't take out the little puppet on purpose, Eldit and Spider would know Dooku's emotions.

This seems to have become their instinct a long time ago.

During the confrontation, Norvia could determine Dooku's status with just a glance from a distance. Anyone in the team could do the same.

Like now.

Norvia smiled.

"I'll order some more star apple candies, and then I'll give them to Molda and Gillan when you go pick up Tiger, okay?"

Dooku nodded.

"it is good."

Dooku shook his head again.

"I'll pay. I made some money recently."

"Really? Our Dooku is a really great puppeteer."

Norvia did not emphasize this sentence. This is a sentence that can appear at any time in daily life. It has become a recognized fact in the team. But there will always be people who ignore Dooku's unique role in the team. Because of his silence, many people subconsciously think he is useless.

When Norvia was first assigned to a team, she realized how much attention her team would receive in the academy. Each member of the team could stir up blood and gore in their respective departments. She was the only invisible person at first, and when she stopped hiding, Dooku gradually received less attention.

This was a decision she and all the team members made unanimously.

Dooku was special.

After Yalinxiu was created, Norvia has always claimed to the outside world that it was the effect of the God's Stone. After Yalinxiu slowly grew like a human, Yalinxiu became a desert cat.

She quietly obfuscated this specialness. She used this method to protect Dooku. Everyone in the team, including Arlinshu herself, used this method to protect Dooku.

Of course, the Life Stone does not have the ability to give objects life consciousness. Dooku is special. If it is really the effect of the Life Stone, then only the Life Stone in Dooku's hand has such an effect.

The moment she saw Arinth, Nolvia had already decided what lie she should use to cover up the fact. If not, she could neither protect Dooku nor let Arinth grow up safely.

In many anxieties, Norvia never said the most dangerous ones. She was the diplomat in the team, and she almost never lied, so her words were very credible and basically equivalent to the facts.

She always behaved normally. It was as if their mascot turning into a living, thinking humanoid creature was a very normal thing, so as a result, some doubts that should have arisen were naturally overcome. Even if strangers questioned the existence of Yalinxiu, people who knew them would only say "That's the effect of the God's Stone" and "Yalinxiu is Yalinxiu, what's strange about that? No."

In the end, those who feel confused can convince themselves with reasons like "it may be the product of an emerging profession" or "it's normal, after all, it was created by students in a magic academy" and so on.

As long as Nolvia behaves normally, people outside the team will think it is normal. She deliberately blurs Dooku's specialness, which is her way of protecting Dooku.

Despite this, Dooku remains dangerous.

On the way to the northern continent, Nolvia thought of many possibilities. It was not difficult to fight the enemy to the death, but how to protect her family was difficult. She wanted Dooku to be intact.

But Dooku's experience in the Abyss made her realize that Dooku was far more special than she thought.

Strange beasts have appeared in the abyss. The space at the bottom of the abyss is connected to other continents. In the southern continent, in Hector's territory, human-like monsters appear in the pits connected to the abyss.

If the God War happened again, if the problem came from the Abyss, if the monsters in the southern continent were known to everyone, if someone connected all of this -

As a member of the Abyss Clan, Dooku has too many places where he can be attacked.

Sometimes, Nolvaya thought that if Dooku was kept hidden, he would be safe. But there was still a "grandfather" that had not been resolved in the abyss.

Dooku is dangerous no matter what.

Despite this, Norvia still clearly told everyone that Dooku from their "Send You Home" team was an absolutely excellent puppeteer. She never hid this fact, she affirmed Dooku's talent, and she relied on Dooku's ability as a puppeteer.

And Dooku never thought that such comments were just compliments. He was of course a great puppeteer in the team, and he had his pride.

But Dooku still liked such words. He blinked lightly, narrowing his eyes into a very tiny arc.

Nolvia could see Dooku's emotions, always could.

"I've been working part-time lately, haven't I? We can go to the market and see that there are not only star apple candies, but also special products made from other special fruits.

Teacher Abel, Teacher Obu, Teacher Valerio... They should all know where we are, so we should buy one of each specialty and give it to them. You can send Teacher Matija's copy to Natalie first, and you can give it to her when you go to mention Tiger. Natalie will be very happy.

How about you pay for the specialties for Gillan and Morga yourself? That way you can say you bought them gifts with your hard-earned money, and they will be very happy. "

"I also want to buy gifts for everyone."

Dooku thought about it and said it seriously. He also wanted to use the money he earned from hard work to buy gifts for his teammates, and he wanted his teammates to be happy.

Norvia was startled.

Her eyes are blue, like the surging sea in the distance.

"it is good."

Nolvaya said, blinking like Dooku.

"……I am very happy."
