Chapter 81

Just at this time, the door was knocked again.

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 found so many people 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 any problem?"

Standing in the middle of the crowd, Noelle said awkwardly: "That, knowing that as an immature knight, I have resigned from Acting Grand Master Jean, and I plan 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 bit nervous. Being watched by so many people, she put her hands behind her back and twisted them together in "523".

Luo Li was stunned for a moment: "What do 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, except for Raiden Makoto, who 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, you don't have to do 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 that there was absolutely no unclean meaning in Noelle's words.

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

Noelle recounted her feelings very seriously.

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

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

After listening, Luo Li probably 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, that's 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 and 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 thought, without any selfishness.

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

When she was low and gray, it was Luo Li who became the light that illuminated 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 joy, Venti licked his face and leaned over.

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 hadn't had time to be excited, saw the hands stretched out 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 that 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 the voice fell, he felt his eyes blur, and when the scene appeared again, he had already arrived outside the door.

"..."

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

Happiness is all yours, and I, have nothing.

Just as he turned to leave in loneliness, a black thing fell from the sky. Just smelling the scent drifting out, Venti, with quick eyes and hands, 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 loss? Hugging a whole jar of "Immortal Drunkenness," 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 pleasant tune outside gradually drifting away, Luo Li shook his head helplessly.

Returning his gaze to the house, he found that it was much livelier than before.

Fischl, Lumine, Noelle—three girls with different personalities gathered together to whisper, plus Paimon saying some funny things from the side, the atmosphere was harmonious for a while.

Fortunately, the manor was big enough. Although it only had two floors, the floor area was wide enough to accommodate a few more people.

"You guys, go rest quickly. I'll go to sleep after I soak in the 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 going to bathe, Noelle volunteered: "Then I'll serve 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 encounter trouble during the bathing process?"

Rolling his eyes, Luo Li flicked her head.

"You don't need to do that at home. If you snatch this job, Makoto will be unhappy."

Noelle looked in the direction where Raiden Makoto disappeared, and after reading the subtext, she nodded silently 0.6.

When she turned back, she found that Lumine and Fischl were both looking at her with surprised eyes.

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

In the following days, Luo Li spent his time teaching Lumine and Noelle.

One learned the etiquette of the Lawrence family, the other learned the "Mirror of 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 and eliminating many siege monsters, also began to let people pass.

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

That was Eula, who led the Knights' Reconnaissance Company to constantly eliminate monsters on the beach, in deep ravines, and all over the land of Mondstadt, had returned.
