For the first time, the next morning, when the sun had just risen, when Ying and Paimon were still sleeping hugging each other on the small bed and had not yet woken up, they slept several hours later than the two of them last night. Little Annie, who normally would never get up before the afternoon, got up early and quietly left the small hotel without disturbing the two of them.
And the reason why she got up so early was of course because of something that happened last night!
In fact, since I was in that bar last night, I heard from the bartender of the Angel's Gift, the bearded uncle, that the strongest existence in Mondstadt turned out to be another little girl in red, not myself, the burning wind demon. After becoming the great hero of the dragon, and it seemed that she was not nominated because she was 'not a human being', she said that she couldn't swallow it.
then!
"..."
(°ー°〃)
After tossing and turning for half the night, after dawn the next day and guessing that some guys should have gone to work, she couldn't bear it anymore and went directly to the height next to the West Wind Cathedral and the Statue Square, but the building In front of a very magnificent castle.
"Hello!"
"Welcome to the station of the Knights of the West Wind!"
"Your Excellency Anne!"
"I am Ato, the Knight of the West Wind, and the person next to me is Porto. What do you do for a living?"
When Anne came to the gate of the Knights' Castle and began to look up at the station of the Knights of the West Wind, the two guarding knights wearing silver armors with golden emblems of the Knights of the West Wind on their chests hurried towards Anne to greet her. He came up and bowed and asked humbly.
Obviously, they seemed to recognize Anne, and they seemed to have been reminded by a special message from above. Therefore, no one had any intention of embarrassing Anne. Instead, they asked enthusiastically and proactively.
"oh!"
(⊙o⊙*)
"How about you too, uncle..."
?(ˊ〇ˋ*)
"that……"
(′~`●)
Looking at the glasses man in front of her who came forward to welcome him warmly, Anne couldn't help but hesitate, and then suddenly she didn't know what to say.
After all, she can't be allowed to say this: Queen Anne was so angry that she couldn't sleep well last night, so she came to the door angrily early in the morning to make trouble. She just wanted to see the man in red. How strong is the little Spark Knight girl? Furthermore, why did the opponent choose the strongest one from Mondstadt?
"Are you here the Knights of the West Wind?"
?(?????????)?
After hesitating for a while and blinking, Annie finally asked knowingly and cutely.
"Yes!"
"To be precise, this is the headquarters of the Knights of the West Wind!"
“Our mission leader’s office, library and other various headquarters functions and important facilities are located here.”
"And those located throughout Mondstadt are just small stations and camps."
That West Wind Knight Atuo had no intention of concealing anything, and directly and openly introduced the headquarters of their West Wind Knights.
"Is that so?"
(⊙.⊙)
"Um……"
(,,??.??,,)
"ah!"
╭(′▽`)╯
"By the way! I'm here to see Sister Lisa!"
('-w??)
"Is she in there now?"
?(????)?
After thinking about it, Annie suddenly had an idea. She instantly thought of a perfect excuse to cover up, and then asked quickly.
"oh?"
"Are you here to see Lady Lisa?"
"Well……"
"Yes, but I'm afraid it's a little early at this point. I don't know if she's at work..."
"or?"
"Your Excellency Anne, would you like to go to the library and look for it yourself?"
"Lisa-sama is usually in the library."
"I am responsible for continuing to stand guard and do not dare to leave my post without permission. Therefore, I cannot take you in. Please forgive me?"
The bespectacled man thought about it for a while, and then he could only propose to Anne with a wry smile, and kindly gestured to Anne to go to the library in the headquarters.
"Is that so?"
(???.???)????
"OK!"
(=^▽^=)
"Goodbye, then!"
ヽ(⌒w⌒)?
Anne wished that the other party wouldn't take her in!
After all, what she said about coming to see Sister Lisa was just an excuse. She actually came to see a little girl in red clothes. She wanted to see why she could be called the strongest in Mondstadt, so she didn't go there. Find the sister who is not shy and dares to claim to be a so-called genius magician who is rare to see in two hundred years.
"ha!"
?(?)?
"Wow!"
|?˙?˙)?
"It's so big!"
?(?^o^?)?
As soon as she opened the door and entered, Anne saw at a glance a spacious and clean hall with pots of green plants. Then, in addition to the stairs on the opposite side, there were two wooden doors on both sides of the hall. What is it used for?
But it didn't matter what it was used for. She didn't even think about it. She just walked forward a few steps, then suddenly turned around and was about to push one of the doors open.
"!!"
"S-stop!"
However, before Annie could push open the wooden door that seemed to have been locked, a fat uncle next to her who looked a little chubby rushed up and stopped her.
"Who are you……"
"ah!"
"You are that Lady Anne, right?"
Then, after successfully stopping Annie and scanning her body with his glasses, the man was startled for a moment, then quickly realized and recognized Annie.
"Welcome to the Knights of the West Wind!"
"Excuse me……"
"What do you want?"
So, after hurriedly performing a knight's salute, he asked in a puzzled yet kind tone.
"that……"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
"I'm here to find someone!"
(*^▽^*)
Annie replied with a cute smile.
That's right, she came in looking for someone, a little girl in red clothes, because the other party claimed that Mondstadt was the strongest, and of course she, Queen Anne, was angry and wanted to come to the other party for comment.
"I see!"
"You must be here to see Captain Qin, right?"
"She is in that room over there. I will go and inform you right away."
Hearing that Annie was looking for someone, the fat man subconsciously thought that he was looking for their acting leader, so he smiled attentively and prepared to guide Annie, and planned to knock on the other wooden door next to her.
"Why!"
=????('ヮ'=????)
"don't want!"
ヾ(??w???‖)?
Seeing this, Annie hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the belt tied around the other person's plump waist, and narrowly pulled him back.
"That's not right!"
?(?﹏?,)?
"I'm not here to see Sister Qin, I'm actually here to see Sister Lisa..."
(?~?)
"Is she here?"
(*^▽^*)?
With that said, Annie once again pointed to the wooden door she was about to push open just now, and planned to push it again under the eyes of the other party.
She heard something, and there seemed to be some movement inside. She thought someone must be there, so she planned to push it away and see if there was a little girl wearing red clothes inside?
"Looking for Lady Lisa?"
"But!"
"This is the solitary room. Lady Lisa should be there."
Hearing Annie say that she was looking for Lisa, the fat man nodded, then hurriedly stepped forward to stop Annie kindly, and pointed to the two doors on the opposite side of the hall.
"??"
(?Д?≡?д?)!?
"Then this is..."
(°ー°〃),
As a last resort, Anne could only frown unhappily and looked at the wooden door in front of her and asked.
After all, she didn't actually come here to find that sister Lisa. She just found an excuse to come in and take a stroll and wanted to see if there was a little girl wearing red clothes.
"Here?"
"Feel sorry!"
"We are not open to the public here."
"Of course, it is not a secret place. This is actually the confinement room of our knights. Those knights who have made mistakes will be locked up here for reflection."
"but……"
"Speaking of which, this has almost become Keli's special room. She is still locked in it and may not be allowed out until tomorrow. Therefore, she may not be able to see the sun today."
As he said that, the fat guard couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head, as if he didn't want to say more.
"Kelly?"
(???.???)????
Hearing an unfamiliar name, Annie couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, and wanted to push open the wooden door.
"bring it on!"
"Your Excellency Anne, please come this way."
"Hey!"
"Willager!"
"Your Excellency Anne wants to find Lady Lisa. Has she come to work?"
Unfortunately, before Annie could say anything else, the fat man waved and shouted to the other guard standing by the door across the hall.
"Is it almost done?"
"But Wood, please keep your voice down, no noise is allowed here!"
"Your Excellency Anne!"
"Please come here. You can sit in the library for a while. Lisa must be coming to work soon."
With that said, Willager opened one of the doors on the opposite side and signaled to Anne that she could pass through.
"oh……"
(⊙﹏⊙)
"All right!"
ε=(′ο`*)))Alas
Anne originally wanted to continue wandering around and see where the little girl in red clothes was, but, since the uncle named Willage across the street said so, she didn't want to arouse the other party's suspicion, so she I could only walk over angrily.
"Really..."
(??ˇεˇ??)
"There are so many people guarding a shabby headquarters. It seems a bit difficult to find it by yourself..."
s(?`ヘ′?;)ゞ
"!!"
|???w??)??
"that is……"
?!(;?o?)o
Entering the library, and as the wooden door behind her closed softly, Anne, who was just about to complain in a low voice, suddenly lit up her eyes, and then excitedly rushed to the guardrail and looked at the rows of bookshelves below. .
"little girl……"
?(?ˉ?? ˉ?)
"Red clothes..."
(???)?
"Isn't she the one you're talking about?"
(′?? ?‵)
Because, Anne saw that at this moment, in the bookshelves under this huge library, there was a person rummaging for something on the bookshelf. As luck would have it, the other person was almost the same height as her. They are both a little girl, and they are obviously wearing a little red skirt, but there is also a small white apron tied in front of them.
"Very good!"
???(?)????
"We found someone!!"
-=????=?????(?)?
This is the headquarters of the Knights. The other person is a little girl and is wearing red clothes. Of course, Anne thinks that the other person is the person she is looking for.
Therefore, she didn't care about anything else, just cheered, and then quickly ran down the stairs with her cheerful feet without caring at all.
"??"
"ye ika gusha mosi!"
However, when Annie ran to the other party, surprisingly, the other party suddenly said this to Annie.
"??"
(???.???)????
"you're good too……"
(*^▽^*)
"Of course I ate it. Is there any problem?"
(??ˇ?ˇ??)
After hearing what the other party said, Annie was startled for a moment, and then subconsciously answered.
"Alas!"
"you!"
"You actually understand the language of Qiuqiu people?"
Now, it was the little girl in the red skirt's turn to be surprised, because she seemed to have never thought that Annie could understand the weird language she spoke.
"??"
(lll¬▽¬)
"Is the Qiuqiu people's language difficult?"
(^~^;)ゞ
Anne was a little baffled by the other party's sudden surprise. After all, she didn't think it was anything special, it was just a little trick of understanding the language.
"Of course it's difficult!"
"correct!"
"I am Ella Musk, Professor of Linguistics at Qiuqiu. I am a scholar who specializes in studying the heroic rules of Qiuqiu's spoken language. What is your name?"
After being surprised, of course, the other party introduced himself first, and then asked Anne enthusiastically.
"ah……"
(o^-^)
"My name is Annie..."
(*^o^)
Seeing how enthusiastic the other party was, Anne gradually forgot about something that was originally very important, and then had to answer subconsciously.
"Annie?"
"Then you must also think that the Qiuqiu people are very interesting creatures, right?"
"That's right!"
"It must be, otherwise you wouldn't understand the Qiuqiu people's language!"
"do you know?"
"There are too few people who think the same as us. Those people only know how to fight and kill. If I insist on talking about it, I'm afraid the only one is Miss Sugar."
"It's just that compared to the language and customs of the Qiuqiu people, Miss Sugar also prefers to study the bones of the Qiuqiu people..."
"And there's more..."
Ever since, just like that, maybe you thought you had found a like-minded person, or maybe you felt that you and Annie must have some common characteristics and hobbies?
Anyway, that Ella Musk started talking excitedly and eloquently to Annie, and soon made Annie confused, so that she couldn't react for a long time, and could only subconsciously Following the other person's topic, they started chatting one after another.
Until more than an hour later...
"Yo!"
"I asked who was looking for me. It turns out it's Annie, you little cutie?"
"It's great to see you."
"Speaking of which, this is more refreshing than a cup of strong tea in the afternoon!"
With a charming laugh and the clear 'click' sound of high heels stepping on the wooden steps, Annie, who had been impatient for a long time, was finally able to learn from Ella Musk's story about the Qiuqiu people. Freed from the long discourse of language and customs.
"that!"
⊙﹏⊙‖∣°
"Ella!"
ヽ(′~`;)
"I have something important to do with Sister Lisa. Can I talk to you some other time?"
(′???`)
That’s weird!
As she spoke, Annie felt relieved. Without waiting for a response, she quickly turned around, grabbed the hand of Lisa, the belated eldest sister, and ran to a table in the distance.
"Eh?"
"Little Annie..."
"What are you doing?"
Although she didn't know why Annie was looking for her, or why the other party reacted like this, Lisa, who was surprised, still didn't resist much and let Annie pull her to the other side of the library and ran into it. After sitting next to a table in the corner, he smiled and pulled out a chair to sit down, and asked strangely.
"Very good!"
ε=(′ο`*))) Phew!
"Sister Lisa, you saved someone's life!"
ヾ(?3?人)ヾ
Annie didn't answer, but just glanced into the distance, and found that Ella Musk had not followed, but continued to rummage for something in the row of bookshelves, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and said this .
"??"
"What's wrong?"
"But……"
"I just saw you and Ella chatting happily."
Lisa felt a little strange about this.
She knew that the little guy Annie came early more than an hour ago, and then, from the looks of it, she seemed to have been chatting with Ella until now?
"happy?"
!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ
"She is quite happy, but others are not necessarily so?"
(lll¬w¬)
Annie gave the other party an annoyed roll of her eyes.
After all, she is not curious at all, does not care about the language and customs of the Qiuqiu people, and has no interest in studying them!
But the result...
That guy insisted on forcing her to be a free translator. He became more and more excited as he talked, and asked questions about this and that. Little did he know that she had already become impatient and almost turned him into a sheep and ran away. .
"besides!"
o(*`ー′)o
"Why did you come to work just now?"
(ー`′ー)
"I've been waiting impatiently for a long time!"
?°(°ˉ??ˉ?°)°?
Then Anne began to protest dissatisfiedly.
She thinks that if the sister Lisa in front of her could come earlier, then she might be able to be freed from the clutches of that scary guy, that Qiuqiu language expert, earlier?
"ha?"
"Actually, it's quite early for me today."
"In fact..."
"Little Annie, you don't know, do you?"
"I usually come here in the afternoon. Sister Lisa, I don't like manual labor at all!"
"certainly!"
"I don't like mental work either."
Lisa picked up a book on the table that someone had taken out and read it, then closed it and threw it back casually and said with a smile.
"..."
(⊙﹏⊙)
"Then why don't you just say that you like to be lazy?"
(*⊙~⊙)
Anne looked down upon him with some annoyance.
After all, there are only two ways of working in this world, either physical strength or mental strength, and since the other party doesn't like either, it's self-evident which one he likes.
But, Anne herself is actually the same. She only likes to eat, drink, have fun and sleep in. As for labor, no matter whether it is physical or mental, as long as it is not what she wants, she doesn't like it at all!
(…)
(● ̄(?) ̄●)
"Why!"
"Let's not talk about that yet."
"Let's talk about you..."
"You came to see me, sister, early in the morning. Is there something important?"
"Or……"
"You just wanted to come see me?"
As she said this, she really couldn't think of anything important that would merit this little guy's special trip and waiting for her doorstep for more than an hour. Lisa put one hand on the table and the other hand supported her chin with charming lines. , and while slowly approaching Anne, he asked softly and teasingly with that charming tone and expression.
"ah!"
(/o`)
Anne was startled, covering her forehead, and suddenly remembered: She didn't really come to see the other party, nor did she come to see him. She just used the other party's name to sneak in, and wanted to find someone. For the little girl in red dress.
"Well..."
(¬''¬)
"Um……"
(??ˇ?ˇ??)
And now, she has found the little girl in red!
Although she was not sure whether it was Ella Musk, she only knew that Ella Musk was indeed terrifying and very difficult to deal with!
Regardless of whether the other party is the strongest in Mondstadt, Queen Anne doesn't want to see the other party anymore, and she doesn't want to argue with him!
In short, this matter was settled as it was, and she didn't want to deal with it anymore.
"I'm just here to see you!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"But you are too lazy. People suddenly don't want to talk to you now."
o(′^`)oHmph!
"goodbye!"
ヾ(⌒?⌒*)~?
As she said that, regardless of the slightly shocked elder sister Lisa, Anne slapped the table and stood up again. Then, after placing the blame on the other party, she turned around and ran towards the stairs, rushing towards the stairs after a while. He walked out of the library door and soon disappeared as the footsteps went away.
"Why?"
Seeing this, Lisa, who was originally waiting for the other party to explain why she came, was stunned for a long time and couldn't react for a while.
"All right."
"What a weird and unpredictable personality..."
Anne didn't seem to have any good ideas, so after thinking about it, Lisa finally had to sigh and stand up, and at the same time began to look through the books that were randomly thrown on the library table, ready to start Her job today.
"Well……"
"The Legend of Vanessa again?"
"Tsk!"
"I guess it must be that guy Qin. He does this every time. He doesn't know how to put it back after reading it..."
"Are you deliberately trying to increase my workload?"
"It's really annoying."
Although she complained, Lisa looked at the door on the second floor that Anne had not remembered to close after she left, and then looked at the messy books in front of her. Lisa had no choice but to sigh again. Then he reached out and picked them up one by one.
This is the physical and mental work she dislikes the most!
Because, they not only required her to analyze and study who read them, but also required her to recall which bookshelf, row and position they should be placed on. At the same time, she also needed to carry the books back and forth and distribute them according to their locations. put it back.
The job of a librarian is not easy for her at all, even if she can sleep until noon every day, and then, after being busy for two hours at most, she can rest early in the afternoon.
"It's better to be a child."
"You can eat and drink, and then you don't have to do anything else."
"Don't worry..."
"Why……"
Then, thinking of little Annie who had just left and been known to wander around Mondstadt all day long, Lisa couldn't help but sigh with envy.
