As Scarlett walked, she noticed that although many buildings in Mondstadt were damaged, very few people were actually injured.
Dvalin’s seemingly powerful attack didn’t truly harm anyone in a meaningful way; of course, it’s also possible that Barbatos had secretly protected everyone.
Order had been restored in Mondstadt, though the citizens’ expressions were still quite grim.
Scarlett arrived at the Angel’s Share tavern, and to her surprise, it was operating as usual, and quite crowded inside.
“Mr.
Patton, is my brother here?” From a distance, Scarlett asked Patton, who was standing at the entrance.
“Ah, Miss Scarlett.
Master Diluc just left, but he said he would be back soon.
You can come in and wait inside, Miss Scarlett.” “Oh, okay, then I won’t go in.
When my brother comes back, Mr.
Patton, please tell him that I’ll be staying over at Noelle’s tonight.” Her brother never allowed her into the tavern, especially when he wasn’t there.
To avoid being lectured later, Scarlett decided to go find her good friend Noelle.
“Alright, I’ll be sure to pass on the message.” “Thank you, Mr.
Patton!” “Miss Scarlett, you’re too kind.
You’ve helped us so much, there’s no need to thank me.
It’s the least I could do.” After bidding farewell to Patton, Scarlett ran off to find Noelle.
Based on Scarlett’s understanding of Noelle, she would definitely be out helping the residents of Mondstadt.
Indeed, Scarlett found Noelle helping to move supplies behind the Cat’s Tail tavern, and she immediately ran over to help.
“Noelle, I’m here!” “Scarlett!” Hearing the familiar voice, Noelle’s adorable little face peeked out from behind the large box she was moving, greeting her cheerfully.
“Is it heavy?
Let me help too!” “It’s not heavy at all.
The Cat’s Tail’s goods and stairs were damaged by the hurricane, so I came to help.” Scarlett watched as Noelle effortlessly lifted what looked like a very heavy wooden box.
She also tried to lift a similar box on the ground not far away.
Ugh—it didn’t budge!
It seemed she wasn’t cut out for this kind of physical labor.
As the two were talking, the owner, Margaret, arrived.
“Scarlett, you’re here too!
Come inside quickly, both of you.
Noelle, put those things down.
I’ve made some delicious food, come and eat.” Fine beads of sweat had appeared on Noelle’s forehead, and Scarlett, feeling a pang of sympathy, wiped them away for her.
This girl…
she never thinks of herself enough.
Thinking this, Scarlett completely forgot that compared to Noelle, she herself was just as selfless.
If it weren’t for the start of the plot, and Kyomi using so much of her mental energy to control this body, Scarlett’s true nature would be even more straightforward and kind than Noelle’s.
The two of them finished their meal together behind Margaret’s tavern, and then stayed to help Margaret tidy up.
After Lumine and Paimon dealt with the matters in the abandoned temples, they were awarded the title of Honorary Knight by the Knights of Favonius.
Paimon’s long-awaited Sticky Honey Roast was finally ready to be eaten.
“Wow, it’s so delicious!” Rubbing her little belly, Paimon looked utterly blissful.
Lumine also looked content; after so many days of roughing it in the wild, she finally had a hot, proper meal.
“Right?
Sara’s cooking is absolutely top-notch in Mondstadt!” Amber said proudly.
“Hehe~ Paimon wholeheartedly agrees with that.
This is a five-star review from a genuine little foodie.” “Amber, where did Scarlett and the others go?” Lumine hadn’t seen Scarlett and Noelle since earlier.
They were the first friends Lumine had made in Mondstadt, and she really wanted to get to know them better.
“Scarlett and Noelle?
They’re probably out helping the residents of Mondstadt.
They’re very enthusiastic, you know; everyone in Mondstadt really likes them!” Talking about Scarlett, Paimon suddenly remembered the gift Scarlett had promised her.
The way Scarlett had described the gift had made her extremely excited!
“Oh, right, Amber.
When Scarlett and the others introduced themselves earlier, they said they were unassigned members of the Knights of Favonius.
Why are they only unassigned members when they clearly possess Visions?” Paimon was puzzled by this.
She had seen many official Knights of Favonius who didn’t even have Visions.
On the continent of Teyvat, the difference in power between having a Vision and not having one was enormous.
“Ah, that.” Amber scratched her head.
“Acting Grand Master Jean said they don’t protect themselves well and tend to overexert themselves, which can lead to self-injury.
She was afraid their naive nature might get them deceived by ill-intentioned people, which is why they didn’t pass their official Knights’ examination.” “There was one time before, when they completely ignored their own safety to save a few Adventurers trapped on Dragonspine.
It resulted in both of them catching a severe high fever for several days.
Master Diluc was particularly furious and grounded Scarlett in the winery for half a month.” “Eh?
Master Diluc?” Hearing a new name, Paimon was very curious.
“My apologies, I forgot you didn’t know Master Diluc yet.
Master Diluc is the big boss of Mondstadt’s wine industry, and Scarlett is his biological younger sister!” Paimon gasped: “A big boss?
He must be very rich then!” “Indeed, Master Diluc is the wealthiest person in our Mondstadt!” “Wow!” Paimon’s big eyes sparkled, and she became even more excited about the gift Scarlett had promised.
Lumine pulled Paimon, who was flying excitedly in front of her, back down.
“You can’t fly over the dinner table!” In Star’s live stream.
Zoey’s quest had just progressed to Lumine and Amber’s conversation, and she finally understood why the chat had previously said Scarlett was rich—super rich!
“I already loved Scarlett and Noelle, but based on Amber’s description just now…
what do I do?!
I love them even more!” “Mondstadt actually has two such pure little angels, and I got to meet them right at the beginning of the game.
Hehehe—” [Chat] “Streamer, streamer, watch your image, you’re still live on camera.” [Chat] “Hahaha, what image does Star have left?
It’s already shattered to pieces!” [Chat] “I’m a three-year veteran fan of the streamer.
Don’t be fooled by her cute appearance, she’s a total degenerate for these characters!” [Chat] “I thought Scarlett would be given out for free too.
I waited so long for nothing, I don’t even know which banner to pull for her.” [Chat] “Chat, I really love Scarlett’s character model, she truly resonates with me!!!” [Chat] “Diluc is on the Standard banner, there’s no reason his sister wouldn’t be playable, right?” [Chat] “Right, exactly!
Noelle was guaranteed on the beginner banner, but I’ve looked for Scarlett for a long time.
She’s not in the standard banner, not in the event banner, and not a rate-up character.
I don’t even know if she’s a four-star or five-star.
Logically, the first original character to appear shouldn’t just be left out like this.” Zoey also looked at the comments in the chat and offered her own speculation: “Looking at the situation, there are only three possibilities: First, Scarlett will be featured in a subsequent limited banner, likely debuting as a five-star.
Second, Scarlett is a four-star character in the standard banner, and might accompany a limited five-star later.
Third…
Scarlett won’t be in any banner at all?” Zoey herself wasn’t too confident about that last statement.
Leaving such a high-quality character model out of the gacha banners?
Did the developers not want to make money?!
