Team villains except me

Chapter 543 After the Funeral

It's a sunny day today.

The sun was scorching bright, the snow on the beach at Kikola had melted, and the sea seemed boundless.

When Nolvia woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar room. She was instantly alert and quickly scanned the items in the unfamiliar room. Soon, she saw a decorative painting full of floral patterns and colors so bright that they could hurt her eyes.

It's Shanna.

Nolvia was relieved, but she soon realized that no snowman had been built last night.

She stood up and opened the curtains. The refreshing sunlight outside poured in like a waterfall. Nolvia closed her eyes uncomfortably. When she opened her eyes again, she found that the snow on the ground had disappeared.

The temperature has risen sharply. In this cold and indifferent winter, today's beautiful weather is like a last ray of light.

Or maybe it's a relief.

Because today is Teacher Mattia's funeral.

-

When there was a knock on Norvia's door, she had already changed her clothes.

A black knitted jacket and the scarf that Teacher Mattia had arranged for her.

She was all dark and solemn colors, but this was still too shallow to describe her mood.

Nolvia adjusted her collar, opened the door, and saw Elliott in formal attire.

Elliott held a well-worn hat in his hands, made of sturdy wool. It was given to him by his teacher, Matija. Elliott was a little quiet. He looked at the neatly dressed Nolvia and told her to go to breakfast.

Nolvia nodded. When she reached the living room, Hugh and Irene, who had gotten up earlier, had already finished their breakfast.

"Good morning."

Shanna waved the spatula at Nolvia and winked at her slyly, as if she had some secret with her.

When Nolvia sat at the table, Shanna gave her a piece of toast.

"I bought too much toast yesterday."

Nolvia did not feel disappointed. She took the toast and thanked Shanna.

Shanna didn't see the reaction she wanted, so she shook her head and sighed, saying it was really boring, then took out the toasted cheese and replaced it with the toast in front of Nolvia.

"Hurry up and go to the funeral after you finish eating. You guys are like a group of white-bellied eagles gathered in the living room."

The group of people in the living room were wearing clothes that didn't even match three colors. They seemed to be whipped by silence and began to mourn with themselves from that moment on.

Norvia finished her breakfast quickly, and Hugh came over and told her about the process of Teacher Mattia's funeral, as well as the whereabouts of Musa, Feimei'ou and Yalinxiu.

Musa sent Fei Meiou home first, and Yalinxiu was not on the list of guests invited to the funeral.

Matthias's funeral was not public, and Yalinshu's name was not on the list of people attending the funeral that Julia had prepared and that Hugh received that morning.

Yalinxiu was next to Huett at the time and knew that Huett would definitely go to find Julia, so she stopped Huett.

"It's okay. I said goodbye to Mattia yesterday."

Yalinxiu can't go back to Rose Mansion.

Musa said it was still early and she could send both Fei Meiou and Yalinxiu off at the same time. Before leaving Sana's house, Musa hesitated for a moment, but eventually she walked over and whispered to Sana where she bought the carpet and whether she had other sizes.

"...I own a property in Remiaz."

Sana had heard about Musa's experience. She asked a few questions about the house's condition, and after getting the answers, she glanced at Musa, considering what to say.

She had no right to sympathize with a female eagle who was almost a god in Lanier. But——

"If you live here on your own, you don't need to have carpet in every room. It's hard to clean. But if you hire someone to maintain it regularly, just ignore my advice. I can tell you where you can buy this kind of carpet."

Sana glanced at Musa's expression, but Musa's expression did not change. She just listened carefully to what Sana said, memorized the address, and after thanking Sana, she left with Fei Meiou and Yalinxiu.

Shanna thought Musa was so strong, and thought that this was the tenacity of the female eagle who almost became a beast warrior.

Yalinxiu and Feimei'ou both knew it wasn't true. They held Musa's hands on either side.

Musa's presence wasn't strong; she was quiet. For most of her life, she was as silent as a stone carved by the world. She had her own boundaries, and within her own realm, the only people who could wander freely were her trusted, guilty, and longing friends and family.

Later, Musa tried to reconcile her world with the real world. She did well, her abilities always matching her vision. The new home she envisioned carried her boundless hopes and ambitions.

But before happiness comes, all accidents may be like meteorites, which will derail smooth plans without any warning.

No one can control it. Even the gods are powerless. This world is out of control.

What about Musa's own world? Is her new home deserted? After losing nearly her entire family, does she still feel her efforts are paying off?

Yalinxiu raised her head and asked Musa.

"Teacher Musa, aren't you going to sell your house?"

Musa unconsciously held Yalinxiu's hand a little harder, and then she answered Yalinxiu's questions honestly.

"Not for sale. Valerie is gone, and Loretta won't live in the Rainier estate. My mother's house was left to her late spouse. The house where I grew up was demolished and rebuilt.

I want a place that feels like home. Not the staff quarters at Abersgar, not the empty Rainier estate. I want to create a new home for Loretta and me. The palace isn't her home; she can leave it one day. Remiaz is great, you're all here. That estate is great too, lots of rooms, a big house, and nothing else. I can make new memories there."

Yalinxiu said "oh", then raised its head and said that it wanted to change its destination.

"I want to go to Garcia's."

During the time they had worked together, Fei Meiou had developed a tacit understanding that didn't require any words. She knew what Yalinxiu wanted to do.

But she felt it was useless.

No amount of subsequent compensation can cover up the grief of death.

No.

Loretta would always show a guilty expression when she mentioned Valerie, because Valerie was very important to Loretta. If she acted calmly and started a new life, it would only prove that the dead person was not important enough.

Fermiao was originally a passionate vampire, and she loved the confrontational war and violence. After her time at Lanier, her feelings about emotions became more solidified.

Fei Meiou let go of Musa's hand and walked to Yalinxiu.

"There's no point in doing that."

Her voice was low. Working in a cruel place like Rainier, one had to maintain a constant state of anger or sadness to avoid being crushed. In that environment, Femeiou treated the dead souls as shackles that could never be undone. Unlocking them would be betrayal, and forgetting them would be abandonment.

Yalinxiu held Feimei's hand. It was warm today, and Feimei's hand was warm too.

Yalinxiu spoke softly, making sure that Musa would not hear her voice.

"Femei'o, no matter what race you are, you can't live with sadness and guilt forever. The road ahead is very long, as long as the ocean, with no end in sight. The dead cannot be brought back, and the living are still living. Giving up your entire life because of death, Femei'o, that's too extreme.

Aren’t the living more important?”

Feimei'o looked at Yalinxiu, her eyes wide open, and she felt that what Yalinxiu said was very cold.

Arlinhu moved closer to Femeiou.

"Femei'o, look at Teacher Musa. She won't stop moving forward. She hasn't forgotten Valerie and Persila, but she won't punish herself for it. She's been punished enough. She hasn't done anything wrong. I hope Teacher Musa can get everything she wishes for. This time, I hope she gets what she wants."

Following Yalinxiu's words, Fei Meiou looked up at Musa. She looked at Musa's expressionless face, but her mind was thinking of Loretta.

She was determined to clear the obstacles for Loretta. She felt that Loretta was fragile and had been in a depressed mood because she had lost an important family member.

She thought she was doing well, but after three days without a break, Loretta called a halt to her activities and sent her out of Rainier.

Loretta's words were hard to hear.

"Femei'o, I hope you realize that I don't need you to save me. I'm not in good shape because of Valerie's death, but I'm still alive, and I'm going to keep going. Whether you're with Rainier or not, I'll stay strong and try to forget the memories that made me so bad. I'll get better one day."

Femeiou said nothing.

After a while, Femei'o held Yalinxiu's hand tightly.

"...I'm going where you're going too."

"Compared to the Garcia Residence, I think, Femeiou, I would recommend you to go to the Rose Mansion."

"Your home?"

"Yeah. Femeiou, I think it would be better if you came to my house."

"OK?"

Femei'o tells Musa her final destination.

After Femei'o approaches Rose Mansion, Musa asks Yalinxiu what is in the castle.

"The psychologist Fiana hired. She'll be here again today. She's amazing."

Musa paused, took Yalinxiu's hand, and said sorry seriously.

Yalinxiu did not acknowledge the apology.

It's never Musa who should apologize. In fact, the emotions are always borne by the innocent, while the perpetrators never reflect.

The seeds in the soil will not stop growing because of the death of a living organism in the world. In the world dimension, death occurs every moment.

Yalinxiu knocked on Garcia's door.

Garcia opened the door and looked at it and Musa with some surprise.

Musa's mission had been completed, and she had to attend Mattia's funeral, so she said goodbye to Garcia and left.

Garcia asked Yalinxiu if she was in trouble or just wanted to stay for two days.

"I want to know how to turn a house with nothing into a home where I feel safe."

Garcia hesitated.

"Is it for Musa?"

-

"I agree that Musa can pretend to be Matija and take on the responsibilities of the Beast Warriors."

After the funeral, Rusail, a beast warrior of the Sparrow Tribe from the southern continent, couldn't wait to tell the result that the four beast warriors had discussed.

Matthias's funeral was simple and private.

The funeral procession consisted of a simple group of people: Julia, who presided over the funeral, Mattia's parents, Gillan and Morgha, the "Send You Home" team, the four Beast Warriors, and Musa.

It was more of a negotiation than a funeral.

After Julia finished her elegy, Elliott took the initiative. He stared at Julia and asked her why Matea's funeral was so silent. Matea died protecting the people of the southern continent, and she deserved to be remembered as a valiant beast warrior.

"She will be remembered as a valiant beast warrior, but not now. If news of Matea's death were to spread now, the continents would be plunged into unnecessary panic."

Julia glanced at Nolvia, signaling her to discipline her teammates, but her obedient subordinate seemed to have not noticed her actions at all.

...How could she have forgotten? Norvia Laili had agreed to the agreement because of her teammates. And, Norvia must have been somewhat unhappy about it.

If Matija's friend had viewed this funeral from her perspective, she wouldn't have been happy either. But Matija didn't care. Matija was a beast warrior. That was why she had prepared a formal poem for this simple funeral. Matija could refuse it, but she couldn't refuse it. It was just that these were special times.

Julia didn't dare to look at Gillan and Morga's eyes.

Their child had committed suicide in such a tragic way, and she had been unable to allow Matija to have the glory she was meant to have. She had repeatedly promised Gillan and Morga that this was not the final funeral.

Gilan and Morgha were in low spirits, but they managed to persuade Ellit.

"Trust Julia. Mattia believes in her, and we believe in her too."

"We've worked it out."

Xidai, the dragon beast warrior from the Eastern Continent, hadn't paid attention to the situation. Her time out was short, and she had braved great danger to escape from the Eastern Continent. To investigate Matija's situation and resolve the subsequent issues arising from Matija's death, she had broken many of the Eastern Continent's prohibitions.

The election of new Beast Warriors begins only after all the previous Beast Warriors have died. But who will take on the responsibilities of the deceased Beast Warriors?

In this current situation, Sakina, the Serpent Beast Warrior of the Northern Continent, was busy fighting the tide of alien beasts from the Abyss, while Xidai was struggling to even travel in the Eastern Continent. Rusail, the Sparrow Beast Warrior of the Southern Continent, was tasked with dealing with those humanoid monsters. Coincidentally, while Matija was trapped by monsters in the Southern Continent, Rusail was dealing with a false god imitating the Beast God in the Western Continent.

The Blue Bull Beast Warrior Bowann is working in Abosger, and he accepts the commission on behalf of justice.

Each beast warrior has his or her specialties and responsibilities. If the news of Matija's death is to be concealed, a new beastman will be needed to impersonate Matija.

Abersig has an option ready.

Musa, an eagle-clan orc, almost became a beast warrior. Even Bowann was defeated by her.

The four beast warriors all thought this was a good idea.

"I disagree."

Musa spoke and refused directly.

"I can help, but I won't pretend to be Matija."
