Chapter 54: Captain Qin and Miss Lisa

Knights of the West Wind, Commander's Office.

Kaiya knocked on the door and pushed the door open after receiving a response: "Acting Captain, are you looking for me? Oh? Miss Lisa is here too?"

The lazy and mature librarian sister raised her hand to cover her red lips and yawned slightly: "Well, I'm just here to take a break and enjoy the afternoon tea during working hours. You can just chat."

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "There seem to be more people not returning books recently, and they expressed expectations that they will not return the books unless I punish them with lightning magic."

"Lisa."

Jean Gunnhild's helpless voice sounded. Her long golden hair, which was curled at the ends, was combed into a ponytail with a bow tied behind her back. Two strands of golden hair hung down from both sides of her face: "Even if those people don't return the books no matter what, , don’t punish them with lightning magic, but let the knights handle it, please promise me?”

"But Jean, those people are happy."

"Lisa."

"Okay, okay, I promise you."

The lofty-minded witch girl was defeated by Captain Qin's gentle and helpless eyes. She lowered her head and held the metal spoon, gently stirring the steaming coffee.

"Kaia, I called you here mainly because of the treasure stealing group outside the city."

Qin looked at Kaia and frowned slightly: "Since the expedition left, there seem to be more thieves and monsters in Mondstadt. In order to ensure the stability and safety of Mondstadt City, we must make an effective cleanup."

"It's normal. Monsters and thieves are like weeds in farmland. If there are fewer people to clean them and the frequency of cleaning is less, they will always grow wildly." Kaiya shrugged and smiled: "But the acting captain called me The reason for coming is not just these, right?"

"Yes, although the expeditionary force has left, the Knights still have the power to protect Mondstadt. Some thieves and monsters are naturally not a concern, but this time the situation is different."

Qin pursed her lips and said: "There is a phenomenon of ground disorder in Yingxiang Beach, and a large number of projection monsters are wandering around, and there is even a certain regularity; at the same time, there is also a gathering of thieves and bandits in Wangfeng Mountain. It seems that someone has summoned They don’t know yet what they want to do.”

"Wangfeng Mountain. Eagle Soaring Beach"

Kaia repeated these two names, with a solemn look in his deep eyes: "These two places, one in the south and one in the north, are very troublesome."

"Well, what's more important is that problems occurred in these two places at the same time."

"Is the Acting Captain overthinking this? Maybe it's really just a coincidence."

"The earth's veins are disordered, thieves gather, and the envoys of fools are promised to arrive after the ice and snow melt."

Qin took a breath and looked seriously: "Kaia, I have a hunch that there will be more troublesome things waiting for us in the foreseeable future."

"What's your basis?" Kaiya looked serious.

"No. Just my gut feeling."

Qin was silent for a few seconds and said uncertainly: "Just a few days ago, I felt a fleeting sadness in the wind. It was so slight that I even suspected it was my illusion."

".A sign of the coming storm."

Kaia shook his head and said nothing more about this: "Does the Knights plan to divide their forces into two groups to deal with the troubles in Lookout Mountain and Eagle Beach? With all due respect, this is not a good idea."

The current strength of the Knights is limited. If they are further divided, they will not be able to create a situation of "attacking the small with more" and "the advantage lies with me". The casualty rate will inevitably increase, which is really not worth it.

"We cannot prioritize these two matters and deal with them in order - they both threaten the safety of the people of Mondstadt."

Qin's eyes were firm and she said calmly: "So this time, I will personally deal with the projection monsters on Yingxiang Beach. Kaiya, I will leave the thieves in Wangfeng Mountain to you."

".You want to go in person?"

Kaia opened her eyes wide in surprise and subconsciously vetoed: "No, compared to the danger outside the city, Mondstadt needs a qualified acting captain now. Going there in person is simply better than the idea of ​​dividing the army into two groups. It’s even worse.”

"Look, I'm just saying he won't agree, right?" Lisa smiled softly, "Qin, Mondstadt needs you, that's my opinion too."

"But..." Qin looked hesitant.

"Nothing to worry about."

Lisa stood up and came to Qin's side, holding her hand, her beautiful green eyes reflected Qin's figure: "You are the Knights, the backbone of Mondstadt City, as long as you are here, even if you do nothing, It will make Mondstadt people feel at ease.”

"That's right, and such a trivial matter is not worthy of us dispatching the acting captain."

Kaiya nodded in agreement, raised his hand to rub his chin, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, I will have people disguise the information about [earthline monsters appearing on Eagle Soaring Beach] as information that even the knights don't know, and then throw it to Di Master Luke, he will not turn a blind eye."

He smiled with a proud look in his eyes: "In this way, our dark night heroes will definitely ridicule the incompetence of the Knights while driving those annoying projection monsters back to the earth's veins."

"Well, wouldn't it be a good idea to do this?"

Qin blinked and looked at Kaia, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

If Senior Diluc finds out, he will definitely come with a big sword, a gift from the Knights or an Angel, and exchange "brotherly feelings" with Kaia, right?

"Oh, don't worry, Master Diluc won't care about these little things."

Kaia waved his hand, and then sighed with a smile: "Speaking of which, does Mr. Diluc really think that we don't know that he is the hero of the night? After all, sometimes, he is too lazy to even pretend."

This is of course a tacit understanding. Senior Diluc suffered injustice and voluntarily resigned from the Knights. Even if the Knights have now eradicated this injustice, for the proud senior Diluc, it is not a reason for him to return to the Knights. That's why he transformed into a [Hero of the Night] and guarded Mondstadt in the dark.

Qin opened her mouth, but did not explain.

Kaia must understand this truth better than she does - he just wants to find a chance to make fun of Diluc-senpai.

Lisa also smiled, held Qin's hand, and quietly took a step back, as if to avoid Diluc suddenly appearing, swinging his sword and slashing at Kaia, splattering them with blood.

Kaia raised her eyebrows: "What do you think?"

Lisa smiled politely in return, but Qin hesitated to speak.

"Okay, okay, I understand. Anyway, just leave these two things to me." Kaiya decisively stopped asking and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I met a very interesting guy at Chenxi Winery. , maybe I can get him to go to Wangfeng Mountain with me this time.”

"Interesting guy?" Lisa became interested.

"Well, a very sincere guy who told lies. The most important thing is that Master Diluc sensed a sense of danger from him." Kaia nodded.

"oh?"

Lisa and Qin looked at each other, both seeing each other's surprise.

An existence that can make Diluc feel dangerous must not be an existence that is easy to get along with!

"Is he still at Chenxi Winery now?"

Qin's expression was serious. With such a dangerous existence, it was best not to let him escape the sight of the Knights while he was in Mondstadt.

"No, he is in Mondstadt. I came with him."

Kaia smiled and said: "Relax, Qin. Although he is dangerous, he has no ill intentions towards Mondstadt. I can still confirm this."

"Well, what is Mr. Danger doing now?"

"You may not believe it"

Kaia's eyes were strange, "He and a bard formed a group to perform in the Aeolian Statue Square."

Qin & Lisa: ".Huh?"
