"Okay, okay, Master Qin, please be gentle."
Wendy tentatively swayed her legs in the air and said pitifully to Qin. The two of them were led out of the tavern by Captain Qin like they were carrying chickens.
"Amber lives in the dormitory on the second floor of the Knights. You should think carefully about what to say to her."
Jean put Wendy down first, and then put Famas in Wendy's arms.
Just when Wendy's feet landed, a strong wind passed by and raised a large dark cloud, making Mondstadt City, which was already at dusk, even darker.
"Huh? Is it going to rain?"
Qin looked up at the sky. Because of Tevalin, the weather in Mondstadt was becoming more and more strange.
"You did this? Barbatos?"
Famas, who was in Wendy's arms, jumped on Wendy's head and asked softly.
"Hey, if it rains heavily, we don't have to apologize now."
Wendy whispered to Famas.
As if she had guessed the two people's thoughts, Qin turned her gaze from the sky to the smiling Wendy.
“I’m going even if it’s raining!”
————————————————
"Come on, come on! It's so late, is there anything important?"
Ten minutes later, the sky had completely darkened. On the second floor of the Knights of the West Wind headquarters, Qin and Wendy, who were all wet, stood at the door of Amber's dormitory like drowned rats. Only Famas, who was hiding in Wen Dee's hat, so unscathed.
Even though it was late at night, there was still no trace of depression or displeasure in the voice coming from the other side of the door.
After vaguely hearing the knock on the door, the detective knight Amberdang, who was disturbed by the thunderstorm and ghostly weather outside the window, was a bit alert and did not let the people outside the door wait for more than ten seconds. He was already active as usual. The gesture of sunshine appeared in front of the door.
Amber was always so energetic and sensitive, but judging from the tears on his face, he still felt guilty for losing the Eye of God when no one was around.
"Eh!? It's Captain Qin and...a bard. Why are they all soaked like this? Come in quickly!"
When Amber opened the door and saw the knocker, her expression changed from serious to relaxed, and then she became nervous and at a loss.
"Captain, have you found any clues about the Eye of God? I have recovered. Even without the Eye of God, I can continue to work..."
"No, here."
Qin shook her hair coolly and took out the Eye of God that originally belonged to Amber from her pocket. The tight-fitting clothes were stained with moisture and stuck to her skin, clearly outlining the lines of her body. Amber, who is also a woman, couldn't help but feel her heart beat fast.
"Captain Qin, it's so big..."
Being too focused on Qin's proud figure, Amber didn't even notice the god's eyes on Qin's hand.
"Don't be so weird about your focus, Amber."
Qin said helplessly, then took the Eye of God and waved it in front of Amber's eyes.
"My God's Eyes!"
Seeing the familiar sword feather, a feeling of blood connection came to his heart. Amber shouted excitedly and took the Eye of God from Qin.
"Thank you, Captain Qin, where did you find this?"
Amber held the lost Eye of God and checked it over and over several times. After confirming that it was his lost Eye of God, he hung it carefully around his waist, and then touched it uneasily to make sure it was already on his waist. Hang firmly.
"Let them explain it to you. Let me borrow your bathroom, Amber."
Qin casually took the towel and temporary pajamas handed by Amber and walked into the bathroom of the dormitory.
Famas was on Wendy's head, quietly emitting the power of the fire element, helping to evaporate the water droplets on Wendy's body.
Wendy put her hands between her legs obediently, her body was constantly exuding white moisture, and the strands of hair that had been soaked by the rain gradually became fluffy.
"Ahem, Miss Amber, it's like this..."
Feeling the warmth coming from her body, Wendy relaxed a little and began to explain why she wanted to steal the God's Eye.
"So...in order to recover Famas, more Eyes of God are needed, but..."
Wendy stood up and concluded: "We're sorry for the trouble we caused you!"
Famas also jumped up and waved his little hands a few times.
After listening to the explanations of the two, Amber smiled tenderly, skillfully used the power of the Eye of God, and easily lit the fireplace to keep the two of them warm, and then walked to the table, planning to prepare some hot drinks.
"It's okay, I understand."
Amber whispered as she took out four cups.
"Amber, you are truly the most considerate little angel I have ever seen!"
Wendy danced and said to Amber, just as Qin came out of the bathroom in pajamas after taking a shower.
"It seems that you have been forgiven by Amber?"
Staring at the busy red figure, Qin sat back on the sofa, casually flipping the hair behind her back and putting it on her shoulders.
Amber took the tray and brought four cups of warm milk, and handed them to Qin, Wendy and Famas in turn.
"Yes."
Wendy took the warm milk, grinned, and said to Qin.
"Hmm... Are the people in the portrait Amber's relatives?"
After taking a sip of milk, Famas suddenly saw a portrait on the wall of Amber's living room. It was a middle-aged man with a beard and a doting look in his eyes, and a photo of Amber who looked like he was a child. .
"Yes, that is my most reliable grandfather. How about I tell you his story..."
The sound of burning charcoal crackled. On this sleepless rainy night, several people sat around the sofa, and Amber began to share the story of her grandfather who made her proud.
Amber's grandfather was a mercenary commander from Liyue Port, responsible for protecting a caravan across the continent. During a certain escort mission, the caravan was violently attacked by a swarm of monsters. Only my grandfather managed to escape and was rescued by a doctor from the Knights of the West Wind.
In order to repay the doctor's life-saving grace, my grandfather, who had no face to return to his hometown, resolutely joined the Knights of the West Wind.
In the Knights, my grandfather single-handedly established a squad of scout knights, personally trained and led them on missions.
Not long after, he also met the person he loved and started a family in this strange land.
But one day a long time later, Amber's grandfather left the knight's coat of arms and sword in the Knights, and left without leaving a message to anyone.
After his grandfather left, the scout knight team that relied too much on him lost its backbone and became unorganized and slow.
After several fruitless missions, the Scout Knight's status became increasingly marginalized. Although the team retained its organizational structure, it existed in name only.
The Cavaliers either transferred to other departments or retired and returned home. The [Reconnaissance Cavalry Team] was eventually so sparse that it was unable to complete its daily patrol missions.
What's more serious is that some people regard grandfather's departure as a defection, which undoubtedly makes it worse and makes it even more difficult for the remaining scout knights.
"It wasn't until the appearance of the flaming knight Amber that the team of scout knights was once again revitalized."
Wendy hugged Famas, who was still drying clothes, and praised Amber, who had been working hard to protect Mondstadt.
"No, little poet, I just did my job."
Amber, who was wearing light red pajamas, squinted her eyes and enjoyed Wendy's praise. Her upper body was rocking back and forth on the sofa, looking quite happy.
"We'll keep an eye out for news about Grandpa Amber!"
The fire in the fireplace grew dimmer.
The four of them chatted until late at night.
