Chapter 31 Accidental Encounter with Noelle, Wanting to Take Her Out

Time turned to the next day...

"Wuwuwu... I never thought my first time would be gone like this (╥﹏╥)" Ying walked down the street, tired and sadly recounting her yesterday's experience.

"E

"Rest is also for cultivation... Hmm! I understand."

"Mhm~ Then let's go out for a walk." (If she were in Mondstadt, she'd definitely be called to help.)

"O-Okay!"

"The host, without realizing it, has slapped herself in the face again."

(Ah, this... cough, cough, don't mind the small details~)

"Oh, right, right! I still need to retrieve my sword."

On the way...

"Master Na, Master Na! Is my sword sharpened yet?"

"Mhm, it's over there, go get it yourself."

"Alright~ Thanks, Master Na! Goodbye, Master Na!"

"This is Ying's sword, it feels of very good quality."

"Hmph hmph~ Of course, I think so too~ But my combat power should still be far inferior to yours, Noelle. Even with a great weapon, its power will be greatly discounted in my hands." (Besides, she can solo a Ruin Guard...)

"No, no, didn't Ying just teach me... about balancing work and rest? How could you be far behind me?"

"Hahaha, thank you for comforting me~"

(However, in reality, we are very far behind in all aspects (t^t))

"It's okay, it's okay, Ying must be a very kind person."

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"Mmm... I'm not too sure about the specific reason, maybe it's intuition."

"Kind... When I treat others, I should indeed be quite amiable..." (But not towards Hilichurls, etc...)

"But speaking of kindness, the first person everyone in Mondstadt thinks of would surely be you, Noelle. I feel like you are the kindest person in this world."

"Huh?! R-Really?"

"Of course. After all, no matter who asks you for help, you never refuse, and you always complete it very well. You can truly be called a perfect being~"

"Th-Thank you for your compliment, but I feel I'm just doing what I can."

"Actually, being able to proactively help others is already a remarkable thing." (Not to mention that what Noelle considers within her ability might be impossible for others to achieve in a lifetime...)

"Then, can the host do it?"

(Me? Of course, I can't either. Just cleaning the Knights' headquarters every other day and scrubbing the corners clean is something I can't do. Rather, is that something humans can even do...)

"Help..."

"Huh? I think I just heard someone call for help."

"Mhm, I think I heard it too."

"Noelle!!"

"Ah~ This time I heard it clearly! Someone is calling you."

"Let's go see!"

(By the way, this plot feels so familiar... Could it be that I'm triggering Noelle's hangout event?!)
