After a minute or so, Clovis finally turned to his teammates. He glanced at Kanaria, not knowing what to say. There was only one word coming out of his mouth. "Sorry..."
Kanaria smiled warmly, fully aware that this chain of events couldn’t be stopped. She stated, "There is no need to worry about or us. All of us know what to do. The group you’ve created is different from any others.
"Besides, you have seen the true strength of those who are near the peak. We won’t be able to defeat them as we are now.
"If we continue this way, our path might co to an end sooner or later. We have been growing so fast that now, it’s ti to solidify our foundation.
"Trust us, like we trust you. By the ti you return, no one can look down on us anymore."
Clovis clenched his hands into fists. There were a lot of things he wanted to say, but the only thing that ca out of his mouth was, "I trust you. I trust everyone."
Kanaria nodded with a smile.
Ragna noticed he was the next one, so he assured him. "Don’t worry. I have sworn that day and I will fulfill my oath. No harm will co to her."
"Thank you, Ragna."
Clovis took a deep breath before turning to lody. "I will ask my mother to treat your brother."
lody joined the group because she wanted to treat her brother. Once it was done, she might leave. However, lody had seen so many groups during her ti as a freelancer.
The Libation Fiesta was unlike any other. Although she joined for her brother, she had already called this place her ho.
She simply smiled at Clovis without answering anything. She didn’t say thanks because it would feel like she was leaving for good.
Instead, it was better for her to show her thanks for her own action.
Clovis nodded to her smile as though he understood her intention. He was grateful for it. After all, Jay and Erwin might have been his right and left hands, but lody was the brain.
She understood him and paved the path for them every single ti. Without her, there would be many threatening situations they might not be able to handle.
Clovis finally turned to Erwin and Aileen. Before Clovis said anything, just like Erwin always did, he proclaid boldly and said, "The mayor of the city requires an adviser. Well, people might take advantage of her, so..."
"She needs a little help." Aileen nodded in agreent. It was clear what ’help’ they were talking about.
All of them had already known what they were going to do while Clovis was away. Kanaria would be the one restoring this city as his representative. This way, the governnt wouldn’t lose trust in them as well and believed Clovis would return sooner or later.
And during that ti, it would be good to move their family in for more protection. But to do that, they also needed strength so that they wouldn’t be overwheld like this again.
All of them had made the resolve.
Clovis finally turned to Lucifania. "I don’t know what to say to you. Although I have been baiting you with my blood, I don’t know if my blood is any special or not.
"However, if you think there’s any value for blood that has two unique abilities, please take as much as you want."
Lucifania understood the reason. For Clovis, Lucifania ca here as their doctor. Her role might not be as important as Kanaria’s and the others, and he might not be as strong as Aileen or Christina.
However, she was the silent hero of the Libation Fiesta, especially since this group got hurt a lot.
Lucifania shook her head. "It’s not the blood that contains two unique abilities. The blood contains only one. However, sothing is also flowing into that blood. Your blood might actually contain a bit of the truth hidden in this simulation world.
"I am a doctor, but do you know why I chose to beco a doctor?" Luci smirked. "I am searching for an answer. And that answer might also be related to what you’re searching for."
Clovis smiled wryly. He might have been underestimating Luci the whole ti.
Clovis’ gaze shifted to Christina. Christina was the first one to say, "There’s no need to say anything about this. No one can beco strong in the blink of an eye. I, too, realize how shallow my strength is... No, everyone has realized it as well.
"This is not the end. We just pause our journey to get stronger so that we can start a new beginning."
Clovis sighed. "I can’t deny that. This is not the end. I might have been a bit too reckless, thinking that everything is going to be alright or everything will go according to my plan. However, this is the reality."
Clovis thought that everything would change the mont the Berserker ca, but they ended up being helpless. He had seen the absolute power in this world or the influence that ruled the world... If he wanted to fulfill his ambition, he knew that his current strength wasn’t enough.
"We can always talk through the Skyphone. If not, Reolf will co with either way." Clovis closed his eyes before finally it was the turn of his oldest comrade and his vice captain.
When the two looked at each other, they just smiled. It looked like they understood what each other wanted to say.
"Jay. I will leave everything related to the Libation Fiesta in your hands."
Jay nodded. "Leave it to . You better train hard. If you end up becoming too weak, we might have to change the captain. I don’t need any unique ability or pseudo unique ability. My hard work won’t betray ."
"I know."
Jay pointed to the girls. "At the very least, you should bring these girls to et your parents. lody too. You need her to be present if you want to ask your mother to treat her brother."
Clovis shook his head. "No. I want all of us to et them. All of us!"
