"Eh?"
"Is it you Kaia?"
When Amber brought the slightly impatient little Annie, the slightly frowning Ying who didn't know what to think, and the silly and sweet-looking Paimon who looked excited to the gate of the castle, the headquarters of the Knights, They first encountered a one-eyed man wearing an eyepatch guarding the door.
Then, of course, Amber took the first step and went directly to greet him and said hello.
"But why are you guarding the gate?"
"correct!"
"The leader is already inside, right?"
Then, thinking that the other party was waiting here specially under the instructions of the captain, she asked with some anxiety and strangeness.
"certainly!"
"And Lisa's here too."
While speaking with slumped shoulders, the one-eyed man wearing an eyepatch immediately looked at Ying and Annie behind Amber with hesitant and solemn eyes.
Annie, in particular, received at least 90% of his gaze, while he just glanced at the people beside him with confusion. As for Paimon, the mascot and emergency ingredient, he didn't care at all from the beginning to the end. He hadn't even looked at her.
"have to say……"
"Amber, you are really amazing. Where did you find these guests who have the power to defeat the dragon?"
"Or rather..."
"New storm?"
Saying this with a sigh, finally, the man whom Amber called Kaia focused his attention on Annie.
After all, what almost everyone in Mondstadt had just seen was that under the raging wind demon dragon, only the other party and the strange woman rose into the sky and faced the dragon directly.
Especially the inconspicuous little girl Annie in front of him. He also saw at that time that the other party was a magician who used the fire element. In the end, he successfully defeated the Wind Demon Dragon single-handedly. That kind of power made him feel sad. I couldn't help but feel waves of anxiety and suspicion.
After all, the fact that a being powerful enough to challenge a giant dragon came to Mondstadt at this juncture would more or less make his imagination wander.
Of course, others didn't know what he was thinking, they just thought his eyes were a little weird.
"??"
(??????.??????)????????
"One-eyed uncle, what are you looking at?"
|??????ω????)????
Seeing the other person looking at her, Annie, who was looking around, looked back without even thinking, and glared at the other person.
"ha?"
"No, nothing..."
Seeing Annie's actions, he felt that it was indeed rude to keep staring at a little girl. Therefore, Kaia, who was inexplicably given the title of 'One-eyed Uncle', did not dare to say anything more. He just retracted his sharp but lonely gaze, looked at Amber again, and stopped the other party from wanting to take people directly into the Knights headquarters.
"how?"
"Kaia!"
"Do you have anything else to do?"
After confirming that the leader and Lisa were inside, Amber, who was about to take Annie, Ying and Paimon in, couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw this. She didn't know what was going on with Kaia.
"Ahem!"
"Amber..."
"As your boss, you should introduce your customers to me first, right?"
Spreading his hands, Kaia said helplessly.
Isn't it his duty to stop here, to get to know him in advance and to check for the group leader?
But the result...
This Amber is still reckless, without even a glance, and actually wants to get past her and lead someone in directly?
"ah!"
"Almost forgot!"
"Come!"
"Let me introduce it to you!"
Blinking, and then suddenly slapping her forehead, Amber smiled sheepishly and waved to Ying and Annie to come over, and then quickly introduced the two parties to each other:
"This is Kaia, the cavalry captain of our Knights of the West Wind, and also my senior."
"But don't listen to what he just said. I am a scout knight and he is a cavalry captain. We don't have much of a reporting relationship. He can only be regarded as half of my boss at most?"
"Kaia!"
"This is Ying, and this little one is Ying's mascot Paimon. They are travelers from afar!"
"The last one is this one..."
"Annie!"
"Anne Hastur!"
"It is said that he is a magician from some distant country outside the world?"
"By the way, she claims to be the most, most, most, most, most, most... (omitting countless 'most's here) the most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most powerful arcane mage. !”
Amber said this in a playful and exaggerated tone, and when her face turned red and she was almost dying, she reluctantly revealed the true identity and nickname of a certain bad little guy. It was stated truthfully.
That kind of introduction naturally frightened Kaiya who was listening with a smile on the side, and the other person's one eye was wide open at this time, full of weirdness and astonishment. look.
"call!"
"Anyway, this is probably the situation!"
"I met them in the Whispering Forest, and after a series of interactions, we became friends. Anne simply wanted to come to Mondstadt for a casual stroll, while Ying wanted to find someone and some clues. , so I brought them all together."
Finally, Amber took a breath before explaining and summarizing like this.
Of course, she didn't have the shame to talk about the embarrassing incident that happened when she, Ying, and Annie first met. After all, it was related to her reputation as a flying champion.
However, no matter what, she is very happy now that she met the three people and brought them to Mondstadt City. Otherwise, the raging wind dragon would not have known how to give Mondstadt this idyll of wind and dandelions. What tragic casualties and losses the city caused!
But now, there are only some minor casualties and building damage, plus the largest and most magnificent statue of the God of Wind in Mondstadt has been knocked down.
Although the situation of the statue being destroyed is generally very serious, especially in nature, compared with the foreseeable losses caused by no one being able to stop the mad dragon, The current situation was still relatively minor. Otherwise, the group leader would not have summoned her to quickly bring the three of them here to prepare for the meeting.
"..."
Out of the world?
A magician from a distant land?
Traveler from afar?
Kaia, who frowned slightly, with a glint in his one eye and rubbed his chin, didn't say anything. He was just thinking about what Amber had just said.
Of course, Kaia didn't take it too seriously to what Amber told her, 'the most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most powerful arcane mage', she just felt that That was just the little girl bragging about herself.
Although the opponent is indeed very powerful, and has the strength to face the Wind Demon Dragon alone and defeat it, she dares to say so brazenly that she is the 'most, most, most, most, most, most. "The most...the most powerful mage'" must be a bit exaggerated and exaggerated.
"??"
"Hello!"
"Kaia!"
"What are you mumbling about?"
"Wake up!"
After a while, she found that Kaia stood stupidly and indifferent after she had finished the introduction. Amber couldn't help it, so she naturally took a step forward and approached Kaia, curiously waving her hands loudly and gesturing towards the other party. asked.
"ah!"
"No, it's nothing!"
With just a stir, Kaiya came back to his senses, and then hurriedly waved his hands with a smile.
Anyway, he wouldn't say that he was doubting and thinking about the identities and origins of these 'guests' brought by Amber, and the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he felt?
"welcome!"
"Welcome to Mondstadt!"
"Travelers and guests from far away, I, the cavalry captain, now officially represent the Knights of the West Wind, would like to extend my warm welcome and heartfelt thanks to you all for coming!"
"In any case, you helped us defeat and drive away the Wind Demon Dragon, and also saved Mondstadt. From now on, you will be the honored guests of our Knights."
With that said, Kaia temporarily put aside all the thoughts in her mind, and then solemnly performed a knight's salute to Annie, Ying and Paimon.
"??"
(??????.??????)????????
Anne didn't pay attention, and she didn't return the favor. She just stared at the other person with a strange look on her face.
After all, thank you and so on, especially verbal statements are useless and feeble. The other party must at least take some practical actions!
Just like...
Let people prepare a grand banquet immediately, and then let Queen Anne, a great hero, eat a ton of food with open stomach. That way, it will definitely be much more useful than any kind words and polite words!
Besides, Queen Anne never likes to listen to those kind of good words. She only believes in the benefits that can be tasted in her mouth, eaten in her stomach, and can also make her physically and mentally happy!
"You're welcome."
"I don't dare to be an honored guest."
"I'm ashamed to say that I didn't seem to have time to do anything. From the beginning to the end, Annie was fighting alone..."
Seeing that Annie didn't respond, Ying had no choice but to step forward and speak so humbly, not daring to accept the other party's thanks as carelessly as Paimon.
After all, she did nothing. She was just watching the fun from beginning to end, and she didn't do anything to help Anne. Therefore, it should all be the result of Anne alone. At most, she only got a little bit of light. .
"but!"
"There is something I want to ask you. I wonder if you know about it, Mr. Kaiya?"
Then, without waiting for the other party to say anything else, Ying thought about it and quickly told her story.
For example, she and her brother Kong were originally travelers traveling in various worlds. They came to this world many years ago and walked around. Then, when they were about to leave, a strange god Appeared and intercepted them, and finally the other party took away her brother and sealed her, so that she, who had only recently awakened, lost almost all her power?
And this time, the reason why she followed Amber to Mondstadt City was to find clues about her brother and to ask the ruler of Mondstadt, the 'Wind God' Barbatos, about the attack on their brothers and sisters. Something about that strange god.
"!!"
"That's it, that's it!"
After listening to Ying's story, Kaiya was even more shocked.
He never expected that this young girl would actually come from outside the world. Moreover, she would actually have a fight with a certain god in this world, and she would also be sealed away for countless years?
"..."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Ying twice more, and exclaimed with emotion in his heart.
No wonder, no wonder the other party dared to rise into the air to confront the Wind Demon Dragon even though he didn't seem to have much power. It turns out that the other party's background is so extraordinary. He is actually related to a certain god in this world, and he has also Have you ever fought with gods?
Although the other party failed in the end and was sealed for countless years, the fact that he was still alive after being unsealed was enough to make him feel a little uneasy and wary.
Of course, so does that little girl Annie!
Since the other party dares to say so brazenly that she is the most powerful, and can easily defeat the Wind Demon Dragon, and also comes together with this girl, she must be not a simple existence.
"but……"
"I'm sorry, I have never heard of the strange god you described, and I have never met your brother, so..."
"Anyway!"
"I still want to thank you on behalf of the Knights!"
"Also..."
"Our acting captain is waiting inside now, please come!"
"As for your question, Your Excellency..."
"Perhaps our acting captain and the learned Lady Lisa will know some clues?"
After saying that, after wondering about the identities of these people and basically dispelling some suspicions, Kaia smiled and stretched out his hand, making way for the door in the face of Amber's already impatient look, and stretched out his hand to signal to everyone. You can go in with him.
"etc!"
!(;??o??)o
"that……"
(????????)
This one-eyed monster blocked the door and talked a lot of nonsense and wasted a lot of time. Anne was a little impatient for a long time, so when she heard that she was going to go in to see that leader, she stopped talking. I couldn't help it anymore and asked quickly:
"Your group leader wants to see us, so has she prepared a banquet with lots and lots of delicious food?"
(??′??‵??)
"There must be, right?"
??(????????)??
Anyway, if the people inside prepare delicious food, then she can barely go in.
And if they were not prepared for anything and just let them go in to talk, and then talk about a lot of boring things like the few people just did, then Queen Anne would definitely not accompany them.
(…)
(●￣??￣●)
"What!"
"Is there anything delicious?"
"Very good!"
"Paimon wants it too!"
Almost at the same time, Paimon on the side heard what Annie said and became active immediately, thinking about flying in first to see the situation.
Unfortunately, she was stopped by her father, who also gave her a calm gesture.
"Well..."
"Kaia?"
How did Amber know that Annie would suddenly make such a request? Therefore, she, who was completely unaware of the arrangements at the headquarters, had no choice but to turn her head and look at Kaia.
"Well……"
"Feel sorry!"
"The city of Mondstadt is still in chaos right now. The people of the Knights are all busy with disaster relief. We have no plans to hold a banquet for the time being."
"However, in the evening, I think that after the leader meets with you, he will still arrange and entertain you."
Kaia said awkwardly at first, and after looking at Amber, she hurriedly said this uncertainly.
"night?"
(??????.??????)????????
"should?"
(????へ????╬)
"Then I have to wait until night to see your group leader!"
(???????????)
"snort!"
o(??^｀)o
After saying that, Annie, who had long been impatient, turned around and left.
"goodbye!"
??(??)??
Yes, if she had known that there would be no food here, she might as well have stayed by the lake and grilled her fresh lake fish!
But, it seems like it’s not too late to bake now?
Furthermore, when she came here, she saw that in the market near the city gate, the restaurant called 'Deer Man' was still open, and it didn't seem to have suffered much damage, so , she now wants to go and see if the other party is still open?
"ah?"
"Hello!"
"Annie?"
Amber was a little dumbfounded. She didn't expect that the other party would come out like this at the last moment.
"Are you really sure?"
"Leaving now?"
"Hello!"
So, in the end, after seeing that she couldn't stop the stubborn little guy, she glared at Kaiya with some annoyance, and secretly blamed the other party for wasting time by blocking the door. Otherwise, she would have given him away by now. He was brought to the head of the group.
"that……"
"Your Excellency Anne?"
"Can't we talk about things first and hold a banquet in the evening?"
As a last resort, Kaia, who didn't know what she had done wrong, could only shout at the little girl who was jumping up and down the stairs.
"Pork!"
(*??????*)
"I don't want to talk about things now..."
(??▽??)
"I'm hungry now!"
(??????????)
"so……"
(????ω????)
Anne said that people in this world really have no eyesight at all. She had obviously helped the other party so much, but they didn't want to rush to prepare a banquet to treat her and express condolences. They actually wanted to talk to her about things... Don’t they know that there are some things that cannot be discussed without eating first?
"goodbye!"
-=???????=????????(??)??
After saying that, Annie didn't give the other party any chance to stay, and she couldn't wait to run down the stairs towards the city gate.
"Why……"
"Both of you!"
Seeing this, Ying, who had a headache and a bitter smile, had no choice but to take a step forward.
"Do not worry."
"Anne didn't mean to target anyone, she just has this temperament."
"If you want to ask her to do something or want to express your gratitude, it would be best to follow her wishes?"
She must be more familiar with Annie than Amber, and know her various temperaments better, so she could only remind her awkwardly.
"That's right!"
"Annie, that bad kid, likes to eat delicious food, and so does Paimon!"
"so!"
"If you have a lot of delicious food, Paimon can also help you!"
At this time, Paimon on the side flew up not to be outdone, and began to ask for some benefits bluntly.
"As long as there is delicious food, no matter what you do, whether you can do it or not, Paimon can do it!"
Flying in mid-air, Paimon announced this.
However, what she didn't say was: as long as she was given enough good food and delicious enough to allow her to sell the bad boy Annie or the girl next to her, that would be negotiable.
"alright."
"It's better to go in first..."
"I will think of another solution regarding Annie."
"As for food..."
"Regardless of whether the group leader has any arrangements, I will invite you to eat 'Tiantian Flower Stuffed Chicken' later!"
As a last resort, Amber, who was a little frustrated, could only say this, and signaled Kaia not to waste time, and directly took Ying and the excited Paimon to the Knights headquarters.
