"Ha, men."
Watching the "transaction" between the two, Xiao Hei sighed helplessly, his face full of disdain.
"Little Black, isn't this just like Captain Brother's style?" Seele covered her mouth and said with a grin.
"I know……"
Xiao Hei nodded and said.
"Anyway, our goal now is to get the captain to accept us, and then... hehehehe..."
"ah!"
Because she and Xiao Hei were of one mind, Seele could clearly know what Xiao Hei was thinking, and her whole face immediately turned bright red with embarrassment...
"What, you little brat, don't you want to? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking..."
"Yes... I do think about it a little..."
Seele tapped her two index fingers on her chest, looking a little embarrassed, and said...
"That's settled then!"
But then, Xiao Hei shrugged.
"Unfortunately, the captain only sees us as his little sisters, which makes it very difficult for us to make a move..."
Thinking of this, Xiao Hei gritted his teeth.
I've already climbed into your bed, and you're still acting all coy with me!
If you really push me too far, I'll drug you and see if you'll take it or not!
"Hey, Xiao Hei, Xi'er, what are you talking about?"
Just then, Jiang Mu and the waiter returned and saw the two women chattering away. They asked in confusion.
"No! It's nothing!" x2
………………
Finally, after leading the three to a newly erected platform, the waiter bowed slightly.
"Guests, I will be in this venue from now on. Please let me know if you need anything."
"Mm." Jiang Mu nodded.
Seeing this, the waiter wisely withdrew.
"Now, you're free to do as you please," Jiang Mu said with a smile, looking at the two of them.
"If you encounter someone who wants to get physical..."
"Don't worry, they won't run into them."
Before Jiang Mu could finish speaking, a familiar voice rang out.
"Lord Diluc?"
Hearing the voice, Jiang Mu was slightly startled and turned around. He saw Diluc, dressed in a black suit, holding a wine glass in one hand and giving them a slight nod.
How did you get here?
Jiang Mu asked in confusion.
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of a smile flashed in Diluc's eyes.
"According to you, I am not worthy to be here?"
"No way..." Jiang Mu quickly waved his hand and explained, "I just think that, given Lord Diluc's style, he wouldn't attend this kind of banquet."
“The Legonfinde family and the Gunnhildr family have been friends for generations,” Diluc explained patiently to Jiang Mu, seemingly quite interested.
"Besides, all the drinks for this gathering were provided by Morning Light Winery. For both professional and personal reasons, I should come and see it."
"For personal reasons?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu nodded in understanding.
Having been familiar with the Genshin Impact storyline, he naturally knew about Diluc and Jean... or rather, some of the Knights of Favonius's past.
On Diluc's 18th birthday, he returned to Mondstadt with his father, Cripps.
During this time, the carriage they were riding in was secretly fitted with mechanical birds that would attract monsters, which led to the arrival of the demon dragon Usa.
The situation was sudden, and there was no time to contact the Knights of Favonius. The monsters were also unprecedentedly powerful, leaving the young Diluc helpless.
However, the outcome of this encounter was beyond Diluc's expectations. His father, who was not recognized by the gods and could not obtain the Eye of God, the father who could not be chosen as a knight, actually used an unprecedented ominous power to defeat the monster. Then, in the backlash of the evil power, he was personally freed by Diluc...
Diluc, immersed in grief and confusion, returns to the Knights of Favonius, only to receive orders from Inspector General Ylock to "cover up the truth." In order to protect the reputation of the Knights, his father's death must be publicized as an "unfortunate accident."
Upon hearing this absurd order, Diluc lost all interest in arguing.
From that moment on, Diluc, whose beliefs ran counter to those of the Knights of Favonius, resolutely abandoned everything, including the "Eye of God." This youngest cavalry captain in history thus left the Knights.
Although Illok was later confirmed as a traitor to the Knights and purged, and Diluc, with the help of himself and his friends, successfully returned the destroyed "Evil Eye" to the Doctor, the second seat of the Fatui Enforcers, during the "Blackflame Case," this resentment still lingered in Diluc's heart...
However, as Jean commented, "Diluc... is a very respectable senior. Although we have chosen different paths, I can feel our shared desire to protect Mondstadt." Regardless of whether Diluc stands with the Knights of Favonius, his unwavering devotion to Mondstadt will never change...
This is why a "Night Hero" appeared in Mondstadt...
………………
Ahem, I've gone off on a tangent...
"Hey, are you alright?"
Seeing Jiang Mu lost in thought, Diluc waved his hand in front of him and asked with some concern.
"I'm fine, sorry, I was just spacing out."
Jiang Mu smiled apologetically.
"It's nothing," Diluc waved his hand and continued.
"Don't worry about that question. The people who were invited to sit in the front row are not those brainless idiots on the outside. They know who they can touch and who they can't."
“Moreover…” Diluc looked at Jiang Mu with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"I heard that you took care of this young master of Gunnhild a few days ago?"
"Well……"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu felt somewhat embarrassed. This wasn't exactly something to be proud of; couldn't the Gunnhild family have at least tried to keep it a secret? How did they make it so widely known...?
"You don't need to worry about anything." Seeing Jiang Mu's expression, Diluc knew exactly what he was thinking and smiled faintly.
"The Gunnhildr family isn't entirely made up of fools like him. Their choice between having another powerful friend and another troublesome enemy is quite wise..."
"Furthermore, with Qin's connection to you, they'll have to think twice before they try to harm you..."
"Alright, that's all I have to say." Diluc stopped there, looking at Jiang Mu with a chuckle.
"There must be many people here who want to get to know you, the honorary knight of the Knights Order."
As he spoke, Diluc casually picked up a glass of red wine from the tray held by a waiter and handed it to Jiang Mu, then gently clinked his glass against Jiang Mu's.
"Ding~~~~"
"Well then, have a nice evening."
With that, Diluc nodded slightly to Seele and Blackie, and walked away without saying anything more.
