Chapter 140

Who is this again?

Everyone was puzzled, and Fischl, who volunteered, went to open the door.

The moment the door opened, Noelle appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Mr. Luo Li, hello, I..."

Just as she opened her mouth, she unexpectedly discovered so many people inside staring at her, and the silver-haired girl was startled.

Not knowing what the all-purpose maid was looking for at this time, Luo Li greeted her to come in.

"Is there a problem?"

Standing in the middle of the crowd, Noelle said awkwardly: "Um, knowing that I am an immature knight, I have resigned from Acting Grand Master Jean, and intend to mature as soon as possible under Mr. Luo Li's training, so please allow me to stay by your side and serve you at any time!"

The girl was a little nervous, being watched by so many people, her hands behind her back anxiously twisting together.

Luo Li was stunned for a moment: "You mean?"

Noelle gathered her courage and said softly: "Please... please let me become Mr. Luo Li's exclusive maid."

Lumine: "..."

Fischl: "..."

Venti: "???"

Everyone was stunned, only Raiden Makoto drank a cup of tea calmly.

She wouldn't have strange emotions toward a little girl.

Luo Li understood that there was absolutely no ambiguity in these words, and persuaded: "If you want to ask questions about sword technique at any time, there is no need for this. Besides pointers and moves, it's more about your own hard training."

"No, it's not like that. Besides sword technique guidance, I also want to transform into a real adult from Mr. Luo Li."

Luo Li: "..."

What you said is very easy to misunderstand, even if he knew there was absolutely no impure intention in Noelle's words.

"I know I have many shortcomings. Everyone in the Knights takes good care of me, so I don't want to continue like this anymore..."

Noelle told her feelings very seriously.

She wasn't a fool; anyone could do those trivial things before, but everyone in the Knights would leave the safety tasks to her.

Even during the previous Stormterror disaster, she wanted to participate, but every time she was brushed off by Captain Kaeya with some small task.

After listening, Luo Li roughly understood Noelle's thoughts.

She also wanted to change her habit of being overly enthusiastic and disregarding her own safety, so that others wouldn't worry anymore.

"Since you insist, fine. You can live in the manor from now on."

Seeing him agree, Noelle's eyes lit up, and she quickly lifted her skirt to perform a maid's etiquette.

"Thank you very much!"

Visible joy overflowed on that pure, cute face.

But what Luo Li didn't know was that Noelle's proposal to become his exclusive maid wasn't as simple as he imagined, without any selfishness.

If it were someone else, she would never make a request to become an exclusive maid.

When she was low and gloomy, it was Luo Li who became that beam of light illuminating the future, dispelling the confusion and depression of the future.

From then on, the figure of a certain person appeared in the girl's heart.

"What about me?"

Amidst the happy occasion, Venti leaned over with a thick face.

Luo Li pushed him away with extreme disgust.

"What's wrong with you."

"Hehehe, actually I don't have a place to sleep either."

Luo Li pointed in the direction of the Anemo Archon Plaza: "Look, isn't that it?"

Looking in the direction he pointed, Venti, who didn't have time to be excited, saw the hands extended by the Anemo Archon statue.

Venti: "???"

"How about it, the place is big enough, it can definitely accommodate you."

Is this the friendship accumulated over thousands of years?!

Venti sighed, indicating he had seen through it.

"Forget it, I won't force it. You compensate me for a jar of wine, and everything that happened before will be let bygones be bygones."

Just as his voice fell, he felt a blur before his eyes, and when the scenery appeared again, he had already arrived outside the door.

"..."

Looking at the pitch-black door and the laughter coming from inside, Venti only felt he was out of place.

Happiness is all yours, and I, have nothing.

Just as he turned to leave dejectedly, a dark thing fell from the sky. Just smelling the scent wafting out, Venti, who was quick-handed, immediately reached out to hug it.

Sniffing the intoxicating scent coming from the jar, the boy immediately let out a happy laugh.

Now where was there any disappointment? Holding a whole jar of "Heavenly Immortal Drunk," he happily headed to the tavern...

It just so happened that he met a few like-minded friends these days, so he would share a little of this wine for them to taste.

Inside the house!

Hearing the relaxed and joyful little tune outside gradually drifting away, Luo Li shook his head helplessly.

His gaze returned to the house, only to find that it was much livelier than before.

Fischl, Lumine, and Noelle, three girls with different personalities, huddled together whispering, plus Paimon saying some funny things from the side, the atmosphere was harmonious for a time.

Fortunately, the manor was big enough; although it only had two floors, the floor area was wide enough, and even if a few more people came, it could accommodate them.

"You guys, go rest quickly. I should go to sleep after I finish my bath later."

Watching Raiden Makoto's back as she went to warm the water, Luo Li's heart moved, and he hurriedly urged the few little girls to leave the main hall.

Seeing that he seemed to be about to bathe, Noelle volunteered: "Then I will attend to you on the side."

"???"

Seeing him stunned, the silver-haired girl explained with a slightly red face: "As a maid, I should serve by your side at all times to solve any problems encountered. What if you run into trouble during the bathing process?"

Rolling his eyes, Luo Li flicked her on the head.

"There's no need for that at home. If you snatch this job, Makoto will be unhappy."

Noelle looked in the direction where Raiden Makoto disappeared, and after understanding the subtext, she nodded silently.

When she turned her head back, she found that Lumine and Fischl were both staring at her with astonished eyes.

Noelle lowered her head and muttered: "Then, then forget it."

Over the next few days, Luo Li spent his time teaching Lumine and Noelle.

One learned the etiquette of the Lawrence family, and the other learned the "Mirror-Still Water" heart of sword dao, as well as the "Godspeed" and basic sword moves of the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu.

As for Fischl, she threw herself into adventure again.

The Stormterror incident came to an end, the dragon disaster plaguing Mondstadt disappeared, and the Knights of Favonius, who had been guarding the city gates to eliminate many siege monsters, began to let people pass.

Everything became calm, except for one thing that had been giving Luo Li quite a headache recently.

That was Eula, who led the Knights' Reconnaissance Company to continuously exterminate monsters along the coast, deep ravines, and all over the land of Mondstadt, had returned.
