Violet Orchestra

Violet was startled, moved away from the seat beside her, and let him sit down.

"Sorry, I haven't explained it to you." He carefully explained his face-changing mystery to Elaine, "I had makeup on when we first met, in order not to attract attention, so I haven't changed my appearance in the past two days , but now that we've found Brienne, there's no further trouble, so..."

"I know, Birkins told me." Elaine looked down at the small bottles he had neatly piled up. "It's just the first time I saw such a magical makeup technique, and I thought it was amazing."

His tone was similar to Brienne's when she lamented how magical magic was. Violet looked up at him with some complacency in a good mood.

Even sitting, Elaine was half a head taller than him, but Violet happened to meet his gaze when she looked up.The undisguised surprise and curiosity in the young man's eyes pleased the poet even more. He couldn't help reaching out and stroking Elaine's head, feeling like he had picked up a puppy.

"Actually, it's just some little tricks, not difficult." His tone softened unconsciously, "If you're interested, I can teach you some simple ones."

Elaine shook her head: "I shouldn't be able to learn this."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to be afraid that Violet would misunderstand him, and quickly added: "My mother always said that I am not like her, and I can't even figure out what colors look good with me. It seems that I am not good at this. talent."

"Your mother?" Violet asked with interest.

"She always wanted a daughter, and she was very disappointed when I was born." Speaking of her mother, Elaine seemed a little helpless, "Affected by the customs of my hometown, she thought I was too ordinary and sometimes not cute. "

"Sounds like fun." Violet looked him up and down and couldn't help smiling. "But she might not be objective—you're cute, in a way."

What he said was not against his will. The young man is good-looking and has a surprisingly good personality. Normally, he might want to go further, but now that Elaine has joined their team... Violet Don't plan to develop a bed relationship with your teammates to avoid embarrassment in the future.

"Don't laugh at me, Mr. Captain." Elaine blushed a little, lowered her eyes in embarrassment, "I don't have any strengths, if I bring you trouble, please tell me."

...Perhaps it would be better not to keep him.Violet was about to change her mind.

It would be a crime if he and Elaine rolled in the same bed someday.

The next morning, they consulted with Brienne herself again. After learning that she was still unwilling to go home, Violet and Petra looked at each other, and then Petra raised her hand and knocked out the uncooperative Miss Brienne.

"Now we're going to do something to her," said Violet to Malediz, "and she may not remember you when she wakes up, or the mysterious mage—that's all right." ?”

Malediz nodded.

"Maybe it's for the best for her."

"It's not fair to make her forget, but we all think it might be a good thing." The poet glanced back at the sleeping Brienne, signaling Petra to start, "She won't forget for long, wait until she With enough discerning ability, maybe one day I will find this box from the corner of my memory, and then remember the contents inside.”

"Like Pandora's Box?"

"No, it's not that bad."

Violet shook her head and laughed.

"In my opinion, maybe it will be a memorable dream?"

Petra hypnotized Brienne. She used secret weird incense and drums to make Brienne forget something. The young noble lady fell asleep and would not wake up for a short time, but when she woke up , everything will quietly return to the original point.

There is no saber-toothed beast in the black forest, no magic, no wandering band, she is still the most beautiful girl in Yasuo city, the jewel in the palm of the city lord, maybe she will become a female city lord in the future, and maybe she will meet the mysterious girl again Mister mage, really become a mage apprentice.

Her possibilities are endless, and they've only temporarily put them in a box for her.

When the right day comes, the key will shine by itself.

"Is Miss Petra singing?" Elaine asked softly.

"It's the Divine Comedy from her hometown." Violet actually didn't understand it, so he could only explain it briefly, "You can understand it as a temporary forgetting magic... Although it's not magic, it's roughly the same thing."

Soon, Petra finished her work, straightened up and started packing.Their luggage and provisions are ready and ready to go.

"It is still a pleasure to see you here, Lord Petra," said Maleditz.

"Me too." She put her bow and dagger on her back, tapped her forehead and shoulders in turn, and made a prayer gesture, "The God of Rock will protect you, as well as Rosa and little Kenda."

"……thanks."

Malediz looked complicated, and did the same to her: "The God of Rock will definitely protect you."

They left Dark Forest, put Brienne in the car, and took her back to Yasuo.The city lord personally met them after learning that Brienne was sent back, and his attitude can be said to be a 180-degree turn.

"I'm sorry, I always thought you were the ones who took Brienne away, so people hunted you everywhere, trying to get her back." When he said this, he looked like someone who was worried about his daughter. Father, still sighed deeply, "Later, I heard that Brienne left the city by herself, and went to the direction of the Black Forest. I sent more than twenty knights to search around, but they couldn't find anyone who entered the forest. Route, I thought I was going to lose her just like that—”

"Can't find the route into the forest?" Violet was a little puzzled.

"Yes, in fact, the outskirts of the Black Forest are not dangerous. People in the city often go there to hunt, but for some reason, the knights I sent this time couldn't even find a way into the forest." Like lying, he dragged him to complain, and finally said, "Fortunately, you brought her back. If you want any reward, just tell me. I will satisfy you as much as possible."

In fact, Violet did come here with the mentality of knocking him a fortune, but the lord of the city suddenly took the initiative to spend money, and he felt something was wrong.

"We are just a wandering band." After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "If there is no Harvest Festival concert, we will not stay in Yasuo City. Mr. Santo can regard this as a beautiful coincidence, don't think about it too much."

Seeing that they were unwilling to accept the reward, the city lord changed the method of rewarding again: "Maybe you can stay and be my personal musicians, and get paid on time every month, so that you don't have to wander around."

"No, you misunderstood. We wander not because we have nowhere to go, but because we want to see the scenery we have never seen before." Violet said with a smile, "Although we are not rich, if we stop in one place Before, I believe that even the best music will gradually lose its vitality, which is not the result I want to see."

No matter how the city lord tried to persuade him to stay, he could always find a firm and polite refusal, and finally got a new carriage and two good horses to pull it, and was able to leave Yasuo City freely. .

"The treatment is different when entering the city twice and leaving the city twice, it's really thanks to you." Hodge patted Violet on the shoulder, and took a well-toasted soft bread from his arms, "Although it is very It’s difficult, but I still want to say, don’t hook up with noble ladies in the next country, because the troubles will come quickly and a lot.”

"I hope you don't keep stealing other people's valuables, because the troubles will come quickly and a lot."

Violet didn't bother to pay attention to him, and distributed the bread to everyone else, and finally sat next to Elaine who was driving the car, and handed him the last one.

"Thank you." Elaine took the bread and smiled at him.

Violet made up his mind not to look at him today, so he stared at one of the horses pulling the cart, and said without changing expression, "When are you going to leave?"

"What?" The young man blinked in confusion.

"It's been so long, haven't you realized how bad this team is?" Violet pointed at the people in the carriage one by one, "There are thieves, there are liars, no one seems to be reliable, even you Someday it will be chopped up and thrown on the side of the road—why are you following us?"

Elaine opened her mouth to say something, but held back.His weakness made Violet see hope, so he said more bluntly: "We have always been four people, do you understand? It's like saving you in exchange for rewards. We have always traveled like this, and the means of exchanging money are not necessarily the same. Guanghui, let alone you, even other people may not be able to accept it. If you stay, it may not be a good thing for you or us."

"Violet." Petra in the carriage interrupted him with a frown, "I thought we had reached a consensus on this issue, and you already agreed to let him join the gang, didn't you?"

"But after thinking about it carefully, I think..."

"I don't think it's okay." Elaine finally said.

He didn't look at Petra, who was interceding for him, but at Violet, as if knowing that would soften the poet's heart: "Of course you are not so bad, I know, and I will try to make some changes, I won't cause trouble for everyone."

His tone was sincere, making it hard to refuse, and Petra also chimed in: "You still took someone else's pendant, Violet, is it really okay to go back on your word?"

"Actually, the pendant is with me..." Hodge whispered in the carriage.

Birkins put a hand over his mouth.

"I'm doing this for your own good, really, you wouldn't want to hang out with guys like us."

Violet is still dying, trying to make her team into the most annoying kind of rogue villains in poetry, but it is obviously not working.

"I hope to travel with you." Elaine held his hand, her voice was soft, like a harmless little animal like his appearance, "OK?"

"..."

Violet finally couldn't help but glanced at him, and then gave up her insistence.

"If you want to leave in the future, you can always tell me."

"Why do you still want him to leave?"

One night while camping in the countryside, Petra asked.

"I don't know." Violet shook her head honestly, and stirred the soup in the pot with a spoon. "To be honest, I like him quite a bit, but he shouldn't be with us...he's too young."

"He's an adult and he's well-developed by any measure, and you can't always use the excuse of being good for him to say no to yourself."

Violet stared at the boiling soup in a daze.

"...Maybe, I just don't think it's appropriate."

"You haven't even tried it, how do you know it's not suitable?" Petra smiled, "Why don't you show the courage to strike up a conversation with a beautiful boy in a tavern and buy little Elaine a drink, he is different from others, right? "

"Petra, that's different." Violet gave her a helpless look, "You know what I'm worrying about, we're different from him, Elaine didn't even think about me...he wouldn't want to know What kind of a guy am I?"

"I think he is a suitable person to listen to your story, but it's up to you to choose whether to tell it or not." Petra patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, then stood up, "Relax, maybe You'll change your mind after a while."

"Thank you." Although he didn't think her words would come true, the poet still said so.
