Chapter 155 Happy things
Samuel, who happened to witness this scene, was shocked.
No, man.
He was just thinking about going to say hello.
As a result, these two.
In broad daylight, the sky is bright.
You two are doing this in public. Even though it's the Wind Flower Festival, this isn't good, right?!
This is happening on the street, and there are so many people watching.
You two are just lying there?
He only dared to suppress Lord Barbatos when no one was around.
...Although the main reason was probably because he was afraid that the residents of Mondstadt would see his appearance.
In short, he was just out shopping, and he never expected to encounter such an exciting scene!
But, you have done this.
Samuel suppressed his excited heart and looked at the past gently with his blue eyes.
…Give me a kiss, give me a kiss!
His Holiness the Pope, though outwardly calm, was actually filled with turmoil in his heart.
It's human nature to join in the fun!
As he was thinking about this, he quietly led a wisp of wind over to eavesdrop.
I didn't expect that Lawrence really got Swann. When I heard him confessing in the confessional, I thought he was going to die... Samuel sighed in his heart while listening to the message brought back by the wind.
Listen to what they are talking about...
"Pafield, what are you hiding from?"
"Are you hiding from me? Is there something I did that displeases you?"
Samuel: ...?
Samuel blinked.
This direction seems... not right.
Twelve out of ten points are wrong.
I was deceived. This is not the plot of Xiao Tianwen.
It’s broken, it still sounds like be.
Seeing that her Majesty was standing still, Giuliana, who was following beside him, looked in the direction of Samuel's gaze and asked in confusion:
"Your Majesty, what are you looking at?"
Then she fell silent.
It’s not that Giuliana was so shocked. After all, she had more than 30 years of life experience and had seen a lot in this free city.
There were many monks in love in the West Wind Church. Previously, she and several nuns in the church had secretly paid attention to a few couples who they thought were more compatible, and they would sincerely wish each other well in their hearts.
So not only is she not opposed to this kind of behavior, she even welcomes it.
but…
Oh my Lord Barbatos! Can you two please stop doing this on the street!
It's okay with me.
But what if our noble Majesty is led astray!
“…Nothing. It seems that two Knights of Favonius are arguing. Let’s go and take a look.” Samuel replied calmly.
Giuliana nodded in confusion.
Let’s not talk about how Your Majesty knew that the two of them were Knights of Favonius.
This looks like flirting no matter how you look at it. How do you think this is a quarrel?
Also, why did Your Majesty remain as calm as ever when seeing this kind of scene?
Suppressing the complaints in her heart, Giuliana followed Samuel towards the two Knights of Favonius who didn't look like they were arguing.
……
Under Swan's oppression and looking at those cold eyes, Lawrence was completely panicked.
He never expected that his thought of not causing trouble to Senior Swan was misunderstood by the other party as avoiding the situation.
"I'm not... I didn't..."
"I never thought of hiding from you..."
Lawrence spoke with difficulty, his tone unconsciously taking on a hint of tears.
When Swann saw him like this, his dissatisfaction that had just arisen in his heart subsided a little.
But he still asked in confusion:
"I still don't understand why you refused my invitation. What harm would it do to you to go to the Knights' headquarters?
"This is not the first time. When I was on guard duty with you before, you often rejected my invitations.
"Once, twice, three times, four times...
“I don’t understand…why?
“What on earth are you thinking about?
“Why are you always like this, always like this?
"Why do you always reject my advances again and again...?"
Under Swann's questioning, Lawrence could no longer hide his thoughts.
He was forced to respond, almost shouting out:
"——Because I like you, I'm afraid of causing you trouble, I'm afraid I'll affect you, so I don't want to get too close to you!
"Okay, are you satisfied now?"
Looking at the other person's dull eyes, Lawrence didn't care about the eyes of the passers-by around him, he just felt that it was over.
So he sniffed, and continued to shout loudly, as if this would make him seem less inferior:
"Just say whatever you want to say. Don't pretend to be disgusted, disgusted, or disdainful of me. Just say it directly.
"Before you, I've always been told this by others, and I didn't think it was a big deal.
"But I can't deny it. I just like you. I—"
Before he could finish his words, they were stuck in his throat.
Seeing Swann's face suddenly approaching him and the touch of his lips, Lawrence couldn't help but widen his eyes.
It was not until he let go that he noticed Swann's eyes were red and moist.
"I'm sorry... Parfield, but...
"…Do you know how long I have been waiting for this sentence?"
He heard Swann whispering in his ear:
“…I like you, too.”
Passersby watching on the side: "..."
Samuel and Giuliana, who happened to come over and witnessed their kiss up close, said: "..."
Giuliana looked at the two of them staring at each other with deep affection, then looked at Samuel who had a blank expression on his face, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
...Your Majesty, you call this a quarrel?
Afterwards, His Holiness the Pope, who witnessed the couple getting married and kissing in front of him, gave his blessing with a gentle expression.
After all, he had come over here intending to stop the fight, but as they confessed their love to each other and even kissed, he seemed a bit like a 2,000-watt light bulb.
It would be even more embarrassing if we didn't do something.
After he finished his blessing, the crowd around him burst into warm applause:
"Hey guys, come and look, they have received His Majesty's blessing!"
"Oh my Lord Barbatos, this is so romantic and shocking! Did you hear what the crying man just said? They must have been through a lot!"
"God of Wind! I also want to call my wife to ask for your blessing!"
"…I also want to be blessed by Your Majesty, but I don't even have my own partner."
"Don't be discouraged, man. Look, there are many beautiful ladies around here... Oh! Or, if you want a handsome man, like me... That's not impossible."
"…You are not from Mondstadt, are you? Are you a tourist from Liyue?"
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
"The abacus beads fell on my face."
"..."
In short, with Samuel's demonstration, the voices Lawrence heard were almost all envy or blessing.
Although he understood that all this was due to the precedent set by His Majesty, he still couldn't help feeling excited.
He looked at Senior Swan in front of him, smiled and hugged him.
There was another round of booing all around.
Seeing this, Samuel quickly took the opportunity to take Giuliana away.
Based on his understanding of these Mondstadt residents.
...If he didn't leave now, he would be surrounded by those young couples asking for their blessings.
By then you won’t be able to leave!
Samuel quickly boarded the carriage before the surrounding residents could react and signaled to Giuliana who followed behind that it was time to start.
Although she didn't know where to go, Giuliana still told the driver what her majesty wanted.
After a while, the carriage slowly started moving.
……
In the Mondstadt garrison area, Xingqiu was walking alone on the street.
Originally, he wanted to call Chongyun to come out together, but Chongyun didn't know what he talked about with Miss Eula from the Knights at the banquet last night, and he didn't intend to accompany him, but practiced martial arts by himself in the room.
After much persuasion, Chongyun still insisted on practicing.
This made Xingqiu very puzzled.
In the past, whenever he wanted to do something, he just needed to coax Chongyun a little, and Chongyun would obediently do what he wanted.
what is it today?
He was confused for a moment and had no choice but to come out by himself.
I don’t know what’s wrong with Chongyun... Never mind, I’ll ask him about it when I get back.
Xingqiu sighed and took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
The purpose of his trip was because of an illustration teacher with whom he had been working for a long time.
He has already thought of the important scenes for the next volume, the next volume, and the next next volume!
I originally planned to write a letter and send it to that Mr. Baichao.
But I also heard that he lived in Mondstadt. So, since I had come here with great difficulty, of course I had to visit him in person.
Thinking about this, he took out a piece of paper with Teacher Bai Ke's residential address on it.
"…We have arrived at the garrison area, and then…the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius?
"Could it be that Mr. Bai Ke is also a knight of the Knights?"
Guessing, he looked around and for a moment he was a little confused about the direction.
Just as he was wondering which direction to go to the Knights' headquarters, he saw a father and son passing by with smiles on their faces.
I can just ask for directions... Xingqiu stepped forward and asked politely:
"Hello, excuse me, do you know how to get to the Knights of Favonius?"
The father was stunned for a moment and murmured, "...The Knights of Favonius?"
"Dad, this is where sisters Eula and Amber work!" the boy next to him reminded happily.
Are Miss Amber and Miss Eula so famous in Mondstadt...? Xingqiu muttered to himself.
“Dad knows, Joel, Dad knows.” The father smiled and patted the boy’s head, then asked Xingqiu, “My... little brother, what do you want to do with the Knights?”
Xingqiu considered the sentence structure and explained:
"Well, I'm here to visit someone.
"I don't know the teacher's name, but I know he is called 'Chalk' and seems to work at the Knights' headquarters.
"Excuse me, do you know him?"
“…Chalk?” The father raised his eyebrows upon hearing this name, with an expression of surprise and interest.
A boy named Joel beside him tugged at his clothes in confusion: "Dad, what are you laughing at?"
Joseph waved his hand: "It's okay, I just remembered something happy."
Then he cleared his throat, eased his smile and explained to Xingqiu:
"I know the teacher you are talking about, his name is Albedo, and he is the chief alchemist of the Knights of Favonius."
Chief Alchemist?! That sounds like a very powerful position... Xingqiu muttered unconsciously in his heart.
"Also, the direction of the Knights' headquarters is over there." Joseph stretched out his hand and pointed him in the direction. "Go straight there and turn left at the next intersection. You will see the gate of the Knights' headquarters."
“…Okay, I got it.” Xingqiu nodded, thanked them, said goodbye to the father and son, and walked in the direction he had just pointed out.
Is Mr. Bai Ke such a powerful person?
Could it be that I recognized the wrong person?
Xingqiu thought as he walked, bought some gifts on the street, and headed to the Knights of Favonius.
……
——Finally, the carriage that Samuel was riding in arrived at the gate of the Knights’ headquarters in the area.
Because on the way Samuel thought about it and realized that the purpose of his trip was to see if he could meet Lord Barbatos.
But after wandering around for a few hours, I found that Mondstadt was too big and it was quite difficult to encounter it by chance.
Even if he could use the wind to find it, the range he could control was far less than the concept of "a place with wind" that Lord Barbatos had previously covered.
If you search bit by bit, it will be too slow.
Rather than looking for a needle in a haystack, it is better to wait for the rabbit.
When Lord Barbatos misses him, he will naturally come to him.
Even though He doesn't seem to have much elemental power left, He definitely has his own way.
Moreover, Samuel was accompanied by Giuliana this time. Even if he met Lord Barbatos, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything...
Thinking of this, he got off the carriage, followed by Giuliana, entered the headquarters of the Knights Templar, and walked towards the alchemy laboratory.
Recently, his alchemy skills have improved a lot and he has become more and more proficient.
Not only did he thoroughly study the knowledge taught by Teacher Albedo, but he also discovered many other skills on his own.
After all, for Samuel, there is nothing better than being with Lord Barbatos, reading books, and drinking essential oils.
Studying alchemy is probably my biggest remaining hobby.
It was for this reason that he finally decided to come to the alchemy laboratory.
Teacher Albedo had said before that he could use the laboratory equipment and materials at will.
Can get it for free.
It would be a waste if you don’t come.
In this way, they instinctively responded to the church prayers or the etiquette and praises of the clerical staff or the Knights of Favonius, and arrived at the second floor where the alchemy laboratory was located.
It seems that even during the Wind Flower Festival, there are still quite a few people in the Knights' Headquarters... But there are a lot fewer knights. They should be either on vacation or assigned to duty.
As he was thinking, Samuel pushed open the door of the alchemy laboratory and saw Xingqiu sitting on a chair inside.
He was holding a red and white thing in his arms...it looked round, like a cute little ball in the shape of a doll.
There is also a cute smiley face pattern on it.
I always feel that this thing looks familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere...
Thinking of this, Samuel moved his gaze away from the little ball and saw Kelly, who was standing next to Xingqiu, with big, bright eyes and a little red hat.
He blinked.
So, what Xingqiu was holding in his arms was a bouncing bomb...?
Meanwhile, Xingqiu was holding the "bouncing bomb" and watching from all sides, not knowing what was going on.
Eh…? This looks like a button…
…click to try it out.
