-203- LuLu likes you

At the Twin City University, Viktor and a group of curious students were observing a bunch of adorable creatures.

In the classroom, Headmaster Heimerdinger stood on the lectern, yes, he was "standing" on the lectern, looking down at the chattering group of Yordles below with a helpless expression.

"Hey, why are they all looking at me? What's so interesting about me?"

A purple-skinned creature with a large pointy hat exclaimed loudly.

Beside her, an even smaller, winged creature, only the size of a child's fist, hugged its chest and nodded, as if agreeing with her.

"You're right, Pix. I should be more reserved and not embarrass herself in front of humans." The purple-faced little one frowned, stepping in place, and stared straight at the humans below through the glass window.

This action seemed like a refusal to back down.

Yes, Lulu was not afraid!

Lulu is brave!

"Heimerdinger! You promised me that I could learn more powerful knowledge when I came here!"

Wearing oversized strange glasses, a furry red fellow shouted, hopping on his feet impatiently and glaring at the red-haired one, shouting, "Tell me, where's the human who studies bombs?"

Heimerdinger rubbed his hands. Although he hadn't been away for long from the perspective of Yordles, the time Heimerdinger disappeared from Bandle City was just a short period. 

Well, it was like Heimerdinger had gone on a little vacation, something Yordles often did. However, from the human point of view, it was an incredibly long period.

This was, after all, hundreds of years!

But for Yordles, human hundreds of years were just a fleeting moment.

So, Heimerdinger, who had gotten used to human life, looked at his fellow Yordles and fell into contemplation.

Was I like this before?

No wonder the councilors didn't like talking to me.

"Quiet, friends, quiet, please listen to me."

"Ah! I like this!"

An exclamation interrupted Heimerdinger's words. 

A purple-skinned Yordle with a giant cannon on her back approached a corner of the classroom, where a model was displayed—probably the latest research of some student from the Department of Mechanic. The research from students at that department was imaginative, and this wildly imaginative piece clearly caught the attention of the purple-skinned Yordle.

"Tristana, what are you looking at?"

The Yordle, who had been marching in place earlier, suddenly ran to the side of the Yordle with the cannon, curiously asking her, "What is this? Is it clothing?"

"Idiot, this is armor!"

Tristana moved a small stool, climbed on it, stood up, and looked at the armor with shining eyes.

"I know about armor! Poppy wears one too! Tristana, come down, I wants to see too, I wants to see!" Lulu, holding a staff, hopped towards them to grab Tristana's leg.

Kicking to the side, Tristana spoke, "Quiet, Lulu, wait until I'm done, and then I'll let you come up."

But this kick happened to hit Lulu's chest. The purple Yordle exclaimed, "Ouch!" and fell backward, rolling several times and finally leaning against a table, looking dazed.

The fall caused her large hat to cover her small face, and Lulu exclaimed, "Ah! I can't see!"

"I can't see anything!"

"It's weird!"

Two little short hands stretched out from the robe, and Lulu screamed.

"Hahaha!"

Outside, seeing this group of students burst into laughter.

Even Viktor couldn't help but smile.

These little creature... so adorable!

"Tristana, are you still there? Can you help me?"

Lulu shouted in helplessness, continuously groping with her small hands.

Meanwhile, on the side, the tiny Pix fluttered around Lulu anxiously.

Tristana turned around and, seeing the hat covering Lulu's face in a chaotic spin, rolled her eyes dramatically, "Oh god..."

Then, Tristana rubbed her hands, gazing at the armor, drooling, "This outfit is so cool; if I match it with my 'Boomer.'"

"Woohoo!"

Imagining that scene, Tristana became excited.

"Friends, friends!" Heimerdinger shook his two little hands helplessly.

Underneath the lectern, Ziggs had already rushed up, "Heimerdinger, quick, tell me, where is that person you mentioned?"

"I..."

Headmaster Heimerdinger blinked helplessly.

These guys are not listening a word he's saying!

"Hey, excuse me, excuse me."

It wasn't until someone shouted and squeezed in from the back door, pushing it open.

"Professor Heimerdinger, you're finally back."

The person coming in was, of course, Linwin. First, he noticed the several Yordles in the room busy with their own things. Linwin revealed a satisfied smile and then happily looked at Heimerdinger on the lectern.

And on the lectern, Heimerdinger, who had confidently claimed to find help, now awkwardly lowered his head.

Heimerdinger, of course, believed in the abilities of his companions, but... they just loved to play too much! No one can control them!

Linwin was about to say something to Heimerdinger, but suddenly a small hand grabbed his pants.

Lowering his head, he saw the purple-skinned....no, the Fae Sorceress, clinging to his pocket in a dazed manner.

"So dark, what did I grab? Tristana, can you tell me?"

Linwin looked at Lulu's big hat and thought for a moment. He then squatted down, reaching out to remove Lulu's pointy hat.

"Wow!"

Light appeared, and the Pixie Witch exclaimed in surprise, "It's amazing! I can see again!"

"You..."

Linwin almost burst into laughter.

The slight frustration he had from earlier in the office with Jayce was immediately dispelled by the arrival of these Yordles.

Yordles, the most peaceful and friendly race.

Bandle City's attitude towards magic was playful, and Yordles were naturally magical beings. Bandle City was even more of a magical realm, a city-state in the spiritual domain. But the Yordles there never learned magic to become stronger; they learned it for joy.

Bandle City also had no politics or management.

It was a place without disputes, peaceful and friendly.

"Did you help me, big guy?"

Seeing Linwin in front of her, Lulu blinked her beautiful big eyes and, holding her wooden staff, asked cutely.

"Yes, little witch, your hat covered your face."

Linwin looked at Lulu with a smile, "As for me, don't call me big guy, call me Linwin."

On the side, Tristana finally emerged from her drooling admiration of the armor. Turning her head and seeing Lulu being entangled by a human, Tristana immediately stomped off the stool.

Lulu was the dum.... easiest to deceive!

Tristana had to protect Lulu!

Raising the cannon "Boomer" in her hand, Tristana angrily said, "Hey, big gu—"

But as soon as she started speaking, Tristana blinked.

"You're a good person, I like you!"

The Pixie Witch suddenly dropped her own wooden staff and forcefully hugged Linwin's leg with her short little arms.

Ding: The Fae Sorceress's favorability increased.

Ding: The Fae Sorceress's favorability towards you increased.

Ding: The Fae Sorceress's favorability increased significantly.

Ding: Successfully activated ★★★★★ Fae Sorceress's card, please keep it up.

"You're very friendly, and you didn't call me shorty!"

Lulu smiled and said, "Pix likes you too; it says you're a great person!"

As for Linwin: ...

A five-star card.

Activated upon first meeting?

Ah, well.

If I had transmigrated to Bandle City.

Hahaha.

Linwin, in a state of embarrassment, held the little purple fae witch and fell into contemplation.

It seemed like he underestimated the simplicity of Yordles?

Lulu could be said to be the most "innocent" and adorable among the Yordles.

Her cuteness didn't need much explanation.

Who would refuse a little purple garlic with a overly large witch hat?
