"Uh huh huh~?"
??(′?｀?)???
Needless to say, by the time Anne had finished wandering outside and returned to their small hotel room in Mondstadt, it was already dusk on the third day.
And coincidentally, Ying and Paimon seemed to be in the room at this time.
Anyway, while jumping to the corridor on the second floor of the hotel, Anne faintly heard the exclamation of a certain idiot Paimon coming from their room.
"Hello everyone!"
|?˙?˙)Hello?
"They're back!"
???(?)????
Annie didn't even knock on the door, she just pushed it open and jumped in with cheers, clearly wanting to scare the people inside.
"??"
"Annie?!"
"Wow!"
"The long-missing villain Anne appears again!"
Ying and Paimon both stood up in surprise, but well, one of them was surprised and the other was frightened. Just from the tone of their words, you could tell that their attitudes were different.
"You just disappeared!"
?(?`^′?)?
"I just went out to play for two days, so what's so special about it?"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
Anne glared at Paimon who was speaking so freely, and then turned away with disdain, not intending to explain to the other party.
"Huh?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Miss Amber, you are actually here too?"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
"Is something wrong?"
(???.???)????
At this time, when she saw that not only Sister Ying and that idiot Paimon were in the room, but also the little sister Amber who looked like a 'bunny girl' with a red hairband on her head, Anne subconsciously closed the door. At the same time, he asked with some surprise.
"!!"
"You guy!"
"I am your friend after all. Can't I come to see you if I don't have something to do?"
Amber stood up from the small sofa in the room and glared at Annie with her hands on her hips angrily, as if she was not satisfied with the way Annie spoke.
"Of course!"
(*^▽^*)
"But now that you've seen it, can you tell me what happened?"
(?w?)
"I just heard your discussion in the corridor!"
(?????)?
Anne didn't pay much attention to the other party's attitude and protest, and just walked into the room, blinking her big green eyes and asking cutely.
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"you!"
"I suddenly don't want to talk anymore."
Seeing Annie's little expression as if she had seen through herself, Amber couldn't help but feel a little hateful. So, after thinking about it, she simply sat back, expressing her displeasure and not wanting to explain why. Reason for coming here.
"Sister Ying?"
(*?′╰╯`?)?
Annie didn't take it seriously. She just walked to her big bed and jumped onto the edge of the bed with cheers and sat down. Then she turned to look at the little sister who was sitting with Paimon on their small bed opposite.
"It's nothing."
"Isn't it about the Wind Demon Dragon?"
She looked at Annie, then at Amber, and then she sighed and patiently explained in detail the series of troublesome things that Amber had just come to discuss with them during the day and the past two days. He started talking:
"This is what happened..."
"We are currently in a big trouble..."
It turns out that the diplomatic mission from Solstice, the mission of fools who obeyed the orders of the Ice Queen, one of the seven rulers of the world, the 'Ice God', and acted according to her will, came to the Knights of the West Wind today. Qin, the acting head of the group, was angry.
The other party arrogantly and unreasonably gave the Knights of the West Wind an ultimatum based on Mondstadt's poor current situation. They also said that if the Knights of the West Wind could not maintain order and immediately destroy the rebellious Wind Demon Dragon and completely suppress it, then they would be fools. Will the public consider taking over the city defense of Mondstadt and taking over Mondstadt, the free city-state of wind and dandelions?
Although Captain Qin used strong protest to refute the arrogant suggestions of the envoy of fools, that is, the envoy named Anastasia, and also stated that Mond's matter can only be handled by the Knights of the West Wind themselves. , that is Mondstadt's internal affairs, and it is not the turn of a group of foreign envoys to dictate.
but……
If the crazy matter of the Wind Demon Dragon, Tvarin, who was originally one of Mondstadt's 'Guardians of the Four Winds', cannot be completely resolved, I am afraid that sooner or later the powerful Winter Kingdom will still be given an excuse.
At that time, it is difficult to predict whether the other party will take the opportunity to use the dragon's troubles and the Knights' inability to solve the trouble as an excuse to deal harsh blows to the currently weak Mondstadt.
Fortunately, they did not gain anything in the past two or three days. Two days ago, Ying and Paimon met a bard who called himself 'Wendy' in Mondstadt, and it happened that the other party seemed to have completely solved the problem. That troublesome good solution is to have the opportunity to awaken Tevalin, the Guardian of the Four Winds who was originally the Dragon of the East Wind.
However, that method has a major premise, that is: you must obtain the artifact of Barbatos, the original wind god, which was originally stored in the basement of the Zephyr Cathedral in Mondstadt - the 'Piano of the Sky'!
But here comes the problem.
After Ying took Paimon to discuss with the bard Wendy and sneaked into the church basement last night, they were shocked to find that a sneaky guy they didn't know arrived at the place where the Sky Piano was kept before them. place?
Then, the guards also discovered them...
Although, in the end, the two of them managed to escape while taking advantage of the chaos, but they did not get the Sky Piano, so the matter fell into a dilemma.
Now they are trying to investigate the identity of the sneaky guy that night and try to find the specific whereabouts of the Sky Piano.
But judging from the current progress, I'm afraid there won't be any valuable clues within a few days.
"Anyway..."
"This is probably the situation..."
"Amber and I were discussing whether to investigate the Fools' residence in Mondstadt, the Goethe Hotel, but Amber refused."
"She said that doing so would cause a terrible diplomatic dispute. Nowadays, the fools are very powerful, and she is afraid that things will not get better by then."
"Even though I'm a foreigner, she doesn't approve of my going."
"so……"
So, Yingze didn't say anything, but just smiled wryly and slumped his shoulders, saying that the matter was so entangled, and they could only wait for Captain Qin and Mr. Wendy to come up with a new solution.
Anyway, Ying has enough reasons to suspect that the Sky Piano is probably inseparable from the 'Fools' who are very active in Mondstadt, and the person she met last night is probably... A member of the Fool’s Envoys!
"snort!"
"Those fools are a bunch of bad guys!"
"They must have stolen the Sky Piano!"
"Both Paimon and Ying have seen that man's costume and spells, there must be nothing wrong with him!"
At this time, Paimon also hurriedly added this sentence angrily, and then continued to wave his fist and said:
"And one more thing!"
"Originally, Paimon and Ying had the opportunity to stay in that big hotel, but in the end, they booked the hotel, and then they had to stay in this small hotel."
"They are just a bunch of bad people!"
Obviously, Paimon must have been resenting this for a long time, and now she finally took the opportunity to express her original dissatisfaction. ,
"That's right!"
"But what can I do if I know?"
"Even if we know that those guys snatched the Sky Piano, without concrete evidence, even we, the Knights of the West Wind, cannot just casually search the residence of a diplomatic mission."
"That would cause a terrible diplomatic dispute, and might even provide those fools with an excuse to attack Mondstadt."
"even……"
"Isn't it impossible for them to launch a war against Mondstadt?"
As she spoke, Amber couldn't help but sigh deeply, and said that she, as a detective knight, had nothing to do about it.
In fact, not only Amber is powerless, but even the acting leaders of their Knights of the West Wind, Qin and Lisa, have no good solution unless they are 100% sure that all the stolen goods will be found during the search. That Sky Piano, otherwise, their knights would definitely not dare to act rashly, and would only suffer the loss of being dumb.
"War, war?"
"Is it that scary?"
Paimon seemed to be frightened, he covered his mouth and subconsciously flew behind Ying's shoulder.
"Of course!"
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. In fact, the conflict between Mondstadt and the Winter Kingdom is essentially the conflict between the Seven Kingdoms and the Seven Gods."
"That's the root of faith!"
"besides!"
"The fools led by the Ice God are now coveting the divine power left by the Wind God, and they are probably also coveting the divine power of the other six gods. I have a hunch that they will definitely not give up."
"The fools are probably worried about how to find a suitable excuse to take over Mondstadt completely right now, right?"
"This is what the relationship between the Seven Kingdoms is all about!"
"Of course, these words are actually what I heard from Captain Qin and Lady Lisa, and I very much agree with them myself!"
While talking, Amber accidentally revealed some more core secrets.
However, when she thought that those present were Ying and Paimon, two of her own who had been helping the Knights recently, and Annie was a great hero who had helped Mond defeat the Wind Demon Dragon, and was also her good friend, she Then he smiled stupidly and touched the back of his head, not feeling too guilty about it.
"The piano of the sky..."
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
"You guys wait a minute!"
－＝≡ヘ(*?w?)ノ
However, Anne didn't care about those boring things, nor did she pay much attention to the rights and wrongs. She just suddenly thought of something important, then hurriedly got up and ran to a corner and started rummaging.
"Annie?"
"What is she looking for?"
Ying and Paimon looked at each other, and then felt a little confused.
"found it!"
???(?)????
At this time, Annie suddenly cheered.
"??"
"that is……"
"!!"
However, when Annie seemed to have found something and came back with it, Amber, who was sitting on the sofa with a sad face, suddenly widened her eyes and jumped up.
"??"
"What's wrong, Amber?"
"What's wrong with this?"
Seeing this, Ying and Paimon looked at each other again, and the doubts in their hearts became even stronger.
"this……"
"Annie!"
"This piano, why is it here?!"
However, Amber did not answer. She just stared at the piano in Annie's hand with an unbelievable tone and angry eyes and asked.
"Qin?"
"That's Annie's piano, what's wrong?"
"What is the problem?"
Paimon was a little confused about this, and then he took the initiative to fly over and said.
"!!"
"Annie, do you have anything to do with that group of people and the Fools?"
Unfortunately, Amber ignored Paimon. She was still staring at the piano, and her face began to change, gradually becoming ugly.
"??"
(???.???)????
"People don't know what fools are!"
?(⊙?⊙)?
Annie was a little confused, but she still told the truth.
"Hello!"
"What happened?"
As a last resort, seeing Amber acting like a charade, Ying had no choice but to ask again.
"fluorescent!"
"Let's put it that way!"
"This piano..."
"It is the Sky Piano we are looking for!"
After staring at Annie's expression for a long time, and finding that Annie showed no signs of dodge, Amber frowned and thought for a while, then hesitantly looked back at Ying and Paimon beside him, and said so indifferently. Said endlessly.
"ah?!"
"What?!"
Hearing this, Ying and Paimon of course exclaimed in unison and were frightened.
In this regard, they really didn't expect that the things they had searched for for several days and thought they must have been stolen by the fools would actually be sitting in the corner of their room, and there were still many things in them. A layer of dust?
"Annie!"
"Shouldn't you explain it?"
"What is your relationship with that group of people and the Fools?"
"Why are the things they took away here with you?"
Although he didn't want to believe that Annie would be related to the Fools, Amber was always a little suspicious and needed to ask questions carefully when such an important item was here.
"What are those people?"
(°ー°〃)
"People don't know what you're talking about!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
However, Anne just slumped her shoulders and didn't seem to want to explain the problem.
"etc!"
"I know!"
Finally, before Amber could ask again, Ying hurriedly spoke.
"I can testify to this. This piano was here three days ago."
"Right?"
"Paimon?"
Saying that, Ying quickly looked at Paimon.
"Um!"
"It was here the day we just came back from the Temple of the Guardian of the Four Winds, and Paimon bounced it several times!"
"There is the power of the wind up there, it's amazing!"
Although Paimon was still confused, she didn't think too much and directly told the situation at that time. For example, she played it for a while, but finally felt it was not fun and threw it back again. in the corner.
"ah?"
"this……"
Seeing both Ying and Paimon saying that, Amber seemed to believe it.
"Really?"
"of course it's true!"
"Both Paimon and Ying can testify!"
"That……"
"Annie?"
"Then why is it here?"
"Can you tell me?"
After getting a positive answer, Amber, who had temporarily ruled out some suspicions, could only look at Annie with a wry smile.
Anyway, she can't figure this out now.
"Of course someone picked it up!"
(??w??)
"If you want it, then take it!"
(?￣?￣?) Hehe!
Anne said indifferently.
She indeed picked this up in the basement of the church, in an empty room. It was just that she ran out to play for two days, and then she seemed to accidentally forget about it and forget to give it back. .
To be honest, she didn't expect that in just two days, there would be such a serious commotion because of this broken piano, and it sounded like it was very important?
However, she didn't want to explain how she picked it up or how she loved it.
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"!!"
"no!"
"I need to report to Captain Qin immediately!"
"fluorescent!"
"Paimon!"
"And Annie..."
"Please keep it safe!"
After saying that, after hesitating for a moment and taking one last look at the Sky Piano that Annie threw into Paimon's arms, Amber quickly made up her mind, then opened the door and hurried out.
"Hello!"
"Amber!"
"As you said, treat us to a big dinner..."
Suddenly, Paimon thought of something and wanted to remind him of something more important. But unfortunately, it was easy to judge from the footsteps getting further and further away. Amber was probably already on the street by now. , now the other party can't hear anything she says.
"??"
ヽ(゜q.)ノ?
"Feast, what kind of feast?"
╭(′? o ?′)
Annie said that she had eaten breakfast and lunch outside today, but she hadn't eaten dinner yet. If there was a delicious meal here, she wouldn't mind eating it.
"Amber said before that she would treat Ying and I to a big dinner. We agreed yesterday."
"but……"
"She seemed to forget about it as we talked about it."
"hateful!"
"So cunning!"
Thinking of the fact that Amber had run away, Paimon said this angrily.
"OK."
"Paimon..."
"I think Amber didn't do it on purpose."
Ying smiled, walked over and comforted him.
"No!"
"She did it on purpose!"
"The things we agreed to do are either delayed by this thing or taken up by another thing. It's always like this or that!"
"irritating!"
Unfortunately, Paimon didn't buy it and was still angry.
"..."
"Annie?"
"Where have you been these past two days? Have you had dinner?"
Ying walked over and put away the Sky Piano before turning to Annie and asked.
Now she doesn't want to ask Annie why the Sky Piano is here. That kind of thing is no longer important. What's important is that the Sky Piano has not been stolen by bad guys. Then, she, Captain Qin and the person she met It is possible for Lady Wendy's plan to continue.
If the Wind Demon Dragon can really be awakened and the opponent regains consciousness, then all problems will be easily solved.
"These two days?"
(*???*)
"Um……"
(?_-?)
"I went to see someone early that morning..."
(???￣)
"Then, I went out to the city for a walk. I stayed there for two days and came back in the afternoon."
(*^-^)ρ
Annie didn't hide anything, and directly gave a brief summary of her itinerary and daily routine for the past two days.
"Find someone?"
"Did you find it?"
Ying asked curiously.
"Um……"
(o ^~^ o)
"Have you found it yet?"
ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas
Thinking of the little girl in red clothes, Annie had a look of uncertainty on her face, and she didn't want to recall what happened two or three days ago.
"really weird!"
"If you find it, you find it. If you don't find it, you don't find it. What do you mean by 'finding it for now'?"
At this time, Paimon also came over, and then refuted this with a slightly venomous tongue on his hips.
"..."
(￢д￢.)
Annie stopped talking and gave Paimon a big eye roll.
"Okay, no more talking."
"Let's go have dinner first and wait for Amber's reply?"
Clapping his hands, Ying signaled Annie and Paimon to stop arguing, and revealed the arrangements for the next three people.
"dinner?"
"Great!"
"Paimon also wants fried meat with carrots and honey sauce, and Mond potato pancakes!"
"And a big glass of apple juice!"
When he heard that he could finally have dinner without waiting for Amber's treat, Paimon cheered and flew directly to hover above Ying's head.
"Sister Ying, are you treating me?"
?(′?`?)
Anne asked somewhat strangely, and showed by her actions that she was very supportive of this decision.
"certainly!"
"It's just you who pays!"
Ying nodded complacently at first, then suddenly smiled and winked at Annie strangely.
"..."
=????(???*)
"oops!"
"Annie, don't mind!"
"I just came to Mondstadt not long ago and I don't have much money."
"Wait until next time!"
"I will invite you back when I have money, I promise!"
Seeing the cute little expression on Annie's face that suddenly solidified, Ying hurriedly smiled and tried to comfort her.
"..."
?_?
"What you guys say never counts!"
(??ˇεˇ??)
"Always say next time..."
(；′⌒`)
"But in the end there is always a next time and a next time!"
(?????)
Anne said that she had seen similar words and similar guys many times. She had already seen through these bad guys and exposed them to the point.
"uh-huh?"
“It’s okay if you don’t want to treat me!”
"Then tell me!"
"Should we eat out or eat the delicacies you brought out from the food world here?"
"I don't mind anyway."
Ying slumped her shoulders and said that she had no objection whether it was eating out or eating the delicious 'Xiao Zao' that Annie brought out directly from the food world in the hotel.
"!!"
"Pamon doesn't mind either!"
"Whether it's Mond's 'Honey Sauce Fried Carrots' or the gourmet world's 'Chowder of the Century', Paimon is not picky about his food!"
As he spoke, especially when he mentioned the 'Soup of the Century', Paimon subconsciously showed a silly, clumsy, and obscene smile.
"..."
(lll￢▽￢)
"Forget it, let's go to Sister Sarah's Deer Hunter restaurant to eat!"
??(??￣?￣)????
Annie wouldn't give these two guys delicious food from the food world every day, so she just thought about it for less than a second, turned around resolutely, and headed straight for the door.
Although it would be easier and faster to get things directly from the food world, she didn't want to feed these two guys' appetites too much. Otherwise, would it be okay if she was asked to take things from the food world every day in the future?
"ah?"
"Are you out of soup of the century?"
Seeing Annie decide to go out to eat, Paimon's expectant face suddenly fell, and even his flying posture became a little listless.
"gone!"
"Pamon hurry up and follow."
However, Ying doesn't care about that much.
In her opinion, no matter what they eat, they are the same, and the only difference is that it was originally Scout Knight Amber's treat, but now it is Annie's treat.
"yes……"
"knew……"
Paimon's answer was a little bitter, and he hung his hands, feet and head, as if he had lost his soul, floating swaying behind Ying and Annie.
