Congratulations on being an NPC

Chapter 85 Decision
A long-lost mechanical voice sounded in my ears.

Or it should be said that the notification sound for the completion of the mission rang after a long time.

Yano's heart moved, but he didn't expand the panel to check it immediately.

There is only one task that can be completed at this time.

But, now is not the time to care about this.

He looked into Alicia's eyes and saw her seriousness and stubbornness.

Tina watched silently from the side without speaking.

They were all waiting for Arno's answer.

The mellow aroma of coffee drifted into the nose along with the smoke, making the scene even more hazy.

Arno sighed softly.

He put his hand on Alicia's, wrapping his hands around hers.

Alicia's hands are much smaller than Yano's.

And soft, and warm.

"Alicia..."

Arno took her hand and placed it on his forehead.

The warm feeling seemed to be conveyed directly to his heart through the skin.

The two temperatures blend, and gradually assimilate and accept.

Alicia didn't express any dislike to Arno's actions, but just let him hold her hand.

Those eyes, which seemed to be shining with hazy moonlight, were still only staring at Arno.

she is waiting,

Waiting for Yano's answer.

Tina's small hands were tucked into her cuffs and clenched lightly.

"Feel sorry……"

Arno said softly.

"Believe me."

Then, he said again.

That kind of temperature and confidence seemed to be conveyed to Alicia through the temperature between her hands.

"It's a tempting proposition."

"It's just that I can't implicate you."

Arno let go of Alicia's hand, a little sweat dripped from his hand.

"no problem."

"I've never lied to anyone before, so, trust me, I won't lie to you this time either."

Alicia looked at Arno's handsome but slightly indifferent face, and turned her head.

"whatever."

"you are free."

Pause, she added.

"If you have any questions, you can come to me."

"If Tina can't help, I'll help; if Tina can't solve it, I'll solve it."

"I'll stand behind you."

Her tone was slightly annoyed, yet so gentle.

Yano smiled slightly and nodded.

"Finished?"

Until this time, Tina didn't speak.

She ignored Alicia, but directly handed a card to Arno.

"This is the admission card of the Royal Academy of Magic, which I applied for you before."

"Tomorrow, you can report, the Academy of Magic will start operating again before that time."

"After that, it's all up to you."

Tina stroked Arno's face and looked at him seriously.

"Remember, just because you left the surname Chris, it doesn't mean that you have fallen into the ranks of civilians."

"You're a lot more complicated than that."

"Most of the tutors will praise you and respect you; the students will scold you and scold you."

"You have to solve these one by one, all by yourself, understand?"

Arno nodded.

However, Tina still didn't take her hand away, she still spoke softly.

"They are afraid of me, they can't offend me, and they dare not provoke me."

"So, they will use this name to provoke you, even if everyone knows that our relationship is inseparable."

"And I don't have a name, so I can't intervene."

Tina withdrew her hand and stared at Yano's face, as if she wanted to engrave his face in her mind.

"That's the price of freedom."

"You have to learn to bear it, and then no matter what happens, you have to work hard for yourself, not for others."

Yano nodded gently.

"I know, mother."

"it is good."

Tina smiled sweetly, "This is my child."

"When I call you back, I will give you a surprise."

This surprise, Alicia can probably guess what it is.

Their plans must be accelerated.

……

Before I know it, the sun has set.

Tina stared blankly at the empty coffee cups on the table.

It seemed that there was still a layer of fog hanging over it.

However, there is no temperature, only the coldness blown by the breeze.

"Do you think this is okay?"

Alicia refilled herself a cup of tea and asked.

"There's nothing wrong with that, it's something to do sooner or later."

Tina came back to her senses and said calmly, "Anyway, our affairs have reached a fever pitch. Taking him out at this time will confuse others' eyes even more."

"That's what I intended to do."

"Are you willing?"

"It's a necessary sacrifice, for an infinite future."

"I still don't agree with your idea."

Alicia added a cup of tea to Tina and said lightly.

"He has too many things to face, and his strength is too weak."

"Tina, you should know better than anyone else that you didn't get into this position just by relying on strategy."

"The military council is a violence that controls violence. In addition to strategy, it also needs stronger support."

Alicia's hand froze suddenly.

Then, caught off guard, she threw the tea in her hand at Tina.

chi chi~

Tina didn't even look up, and the tea evaporated into a white mist some distance away from her.

"Stop it."

Tina said speechlessly.

"I didn't make a fuss."

"Tina, you are the founder of the Royal Academy of Magic and one of the most powerful magicians in the empire."

"That's why you can sit in this position, this is your capital."

"And what does Arnold have? Is your plan, our plan, really possible to come true?"

strength,

This is the main theme of the empire.

Others, no matter how amazing their tactics, are useless in the face of absolute power.

If Tina wants to get a seat for Arno, he must have stronger strength.

"If you think so, why do you want to help me?"

Tina laughed softly.

"Because you are my best friend."

"That's why I'm helping you, it has nothing to do with the probability of success."

Alicia replied without hesitation.

"Isn't that enough?"

"and……"

Tina paused before continuing, "It is because his strength is too weak that he needs to leave me."

"He has arrived and must face the dark age of the empire thoroughly."

"Only in that way can his strength grow rapidly."

Alicia smiled.

"Are you so confident?"

"Of course, he is my child."

Tina proudly said, "He's always better than other mortals."

"I believe that he will become stronger than you and stronger than me."

"In the end, he will even become stronger than No. 1 of the empire—Nuoya."

Hearing this, Alicia shook her head.

"The Queen is a genius, we will never know how powerful she is, maybe even Your Majesty doesn't know."

"And, although I still support you now, you have to remember."

"I always disagree with your approach."

Alicia's figure gradually became transparent and thinned like mist.

"Even if he refuses my surname, I will always protect him."

The voice fell.

Alicia's figure had disappeared.

"Space shuttle technology?"

Tina shook her head and took a sip of her tea.

a bit sweet.
