People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 445 Lin Feng: It’s bad. I think the loli will turn me into a social outcast…

Northwest of Mondstadt, the Knights of Favonius.

An exquisite crystal chandelier hung high on the top floor of the reception hall, and the warm yellow light illuminated the wall-mounted swords and shields in the spacious space. The furnishings in the previously solemn and dignified Knights' Hall remained unchanged, but now it seemed a little empty due to the approaching festival.

The Windblume Festival is approaching, and not only the people of Mondstadt and other countries, but even some knights are already looking forward to the upcoming holiday.

But it was also because of this that the "Acting Master" specially granted the Knights members a rotating vacation.
A "librarian" wearing a wide-brimmed witch hat sighed slightly and stood in front of the acting leader's office, which was lit all night long, with a worried look on her face.

"咚咚-"

"Jin, are you okay? I'm here to bring you some coffee to perk you up."

"."

There was no response from inside the door for a moment.

"Crack-"

Tiny purple electric lights began to gather in Lisa's hands.
Based on her previous experience, she had planned to force her way in to see if Qin had fainted from exhaustion again.

".Is it Lisa?"

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

The door was about to be forced open in the next second, but at the moment before the action was taken, a slightly tired voice came from inside, interrupting Lisa's action while she was looking a little regretful.

"Crackling"

The lightning went out, and disappeared into the hands of a certain Rose Witch as if it had never existed.

Having missed the opportunity to test the endurance of the door frame in a reasonable manner, Lisa shook her head and pushed the door open decisively.

Behind the wooden door, inside the acting group leader’s office.

He expertly balanced the tray in his hand and used his other hand to close the door behind him.

As soon as she came in, she could see the piles of documents on the desk in front of her. Although she was used to it, Lisa still sighed:

"Is that the case again? You've given yourself most of the work?"

"Well, I understand your desire to give the knights a break, but you can't completely deny them a break, right?"

Worried Qin has been working since last night until now. Even the holder of the Eye of God cannot afford such intensity of work.

In order to prevent this diligent acting team leader from fainting in the office again, Lisa has begun to consider whether to take some coercive measures.

For example, add some potions that can make people sleepy to the tea given to Qin, or put some incense with strong sleep-inducing effect in the room.
".Lisa, what are you thinking about?"

"Don't worry too much. I'm fine."

"Although it seems that I didn't leave the office, I did rest for a while last night. I know my own physical condition well. Overwork will affect my work efficiency."

Qin was very familiar with her friend's style of doing things. Just by looking at Lisa's expression, she felt that she seemed to be thinking about something bad.

In order to avoid future troubles, she decisively spoke up to dispel some of the other party's ideas.

"Alas, there are so many event applications and security approvals recently. Even if you are very capable, it would be a stretch to leave all these tasks to you alone."

"Sometimes I really want to go to the church and call Barbara over. If that child is with you, maybe your daily routine can become normal."

He shook his head in disappointment and stuffed the potion he had secretly taken out back into the container.
Finding that Qin seemed to be on guard, Lisa could only plan to look for another opportunity next time.

"Barbara"

"No, forget it. She has had a rare opportunity to relax for a while recently. She was too self-disciplined before, but now she is just right."

I learned from the nuns in the church that Barbara seemed to be visiting various dessert shops recently, and she rarely showed some normal hobbies of a young girl.

Qin was somewhat relieved about this change. Although she had a lot of work to do, she was happy that the other party could have a normal Wind Flower Festival like those of her peers.

".The tasks that take up the most time should still be those ones, right?"

"Liyue's Southern Cross Fleet, and the fourth executive officer of Winter Solstice, Servant."

"Although they have submitted formal applications, their visit requests are not as easy as reviewing residents' stalls."

Although she is only a librarian in her position, she only takes on the role of "acting leader" when Qin and Kaia are not around.
But the position is just a superficial appearance. As one of the people that Jean often consults for advice, Lisa knows a lot about most of Mond's affairs.

"Phew, you're right. Right now Mond is at its most stretched. We need to be vigilant against any special visitors."

"In fact, you should also know that the reason why I let the knights take turns to rest is to ensure that in the event of an emergency, some personnel can be deployed at any time without being restricted by their positions."

"Although the Southern Cross Fleet is not as simple as the "merchant caravan" they claim to be, we have had many dealings with them after all. This time we can treat them as normal guests."

"But the Fourth Executioner of the Fatui, Servant, came here in person to redeem the prisoners of war, but we still have to be vigilant."

I briefly explained what was bothering me.
Qin thought about some of the Fatui that she had captured before, and felt that these guys would be really difficult to deal with.

"I remember that the executive officer wanted to redeem only a few dozen people, but the ransom he offered was quite generous."

"Although I don't know why the "Doctor" has her people under him, but from a procedural point of view, this person is much more disciplined than her colleagues."

After receiving the letter, the Knights conducted some investigations on the intelligence of the Fourth Seat.
Although he is still as mysterious as other executives overall, at least from some rumors outside, the executive code-named "Servant" is not an irrational madman.

"But no matter what, as long as you are a member of the Fatui, you must not let your guard down. I will consider which personnel to arrange to accompany you throughout the entire process later."

"If the rumors are true, then the Fourth Seat of the Fatui should have power close to that of a god.
Fortunately, Mondstadt’s power is now more abundant than ever before, otherwise the Knights might not be able to find any effective way to restrict the other side.”

In response to Lisa's analysis, Qin felt the breeze blowing in from the window, and for the first time felt the confidence that the gods could bring to the country:
- If the God of Wind did not show up, and the Dragon of the East Wind and the Wolf of the North Wind did not return, then no matter how much precautions were taken, if such a Fatui Executor used force in Mondstadt, the Knights would still be in a situation that was difficult to counter.

But the situation will change, and the "country that God left" is now favored by God again.

Facing such a sufficient god-level combat power, as long as the opponent is not an irrational lunatic, at least there is no need to worry about any problems in terms of force. "Well, okay, take a break. It should be much easier for Mond to deal with these problems now than before."

"The biggest crisis for Mond right now is that you, the acting leader, will neglect your health and exhaust yourself. If this happens, the group will be leaderless and the enemy will be more likely to seize the opportunity."

After a brief pause, he stepped forward and forcibly pulled Qin out from the pile of documents.

Lisa placed the tray in her hand on the reception table beside her, opened the lid of the round plate in the middle, and introduced with a smile:

"Here, I have some desserts that Barbara sent over earlier. They are very good for restoring your spirits."

"Aren't you very curious about what that kid has been doing recently? Then it would be nice to try the dessert she personally selected."

He looked at Qin with a smile, but quietly blocked the necessary path for his acting leader to return to his work place.

There was a certain sense of unquestionability in her words. Lisa had already made up her mind to stay here and watch Qin rest for a while.

On the other side, is where the members of the House of Ordinances live.

While Lisa and Qin were sharing desserts, Barbara, who was mentioned by them, was standing in front of Lin Feng's door with a basket of desserts:
——After all, the capacity of the dessert basket in her hand is limited. The types of desserts she sent over last time were only about one-third of the original. The gains from her crazy tastings during this period of time are far more than that.

Barbara regarded the other party's commission as a job that she had to complete seriously. After hearing that Lin Feng had returned with several friends, she left the church directly and came as quickly as possible to share the desserts.

"."

"咚咚-"

Standing in front of the familiar door, the girl with light golden ponytails raised her hand and knocked gently.
While waiting for her owner's response, she lowered her head and looked carefully at her waist, a little worried that she might have gained a lot of weight recently.

"Speaking of which, who exactly is Mr. Lin Feng preparing a gift for? Is it his friend in Xumi?"

"To be willing to spend so much energy to help find desserts, his friend must be a loyal dessert lover."

Barbara was curious about the whereabouts of these desserts, and she couldn't help but start to guess what the other person's friend looked like:

"Well, although I heard that he came back with someone else, I forgot to ask what the other person's characteristics were.

Since she is a friend in Xumi, she should also be a scholar. Considering Mr. Lin Feng’s age, she is most likely a young woman.”

"No, no! People who like desserts are not necessarily very young. Since they put so much thought into the gift, it could be a mature woman like Lisa who is very charming and has a great figure."

"squeak--"

The sound of the door hinge turning came from the front, and the subtle sound of wood rubbing against each other interrupted Barbara's thoughts.

I heard that Lin Feng came back with a friend, so I was curious about who would open the door.

After all, she had received a lot of favors from the other party, so Barbara couldn't help but stand up straight and hold her head high, wanting to leave a good impression on her friend.

"——Hello, I'm Barbara, the prayer minister of the West Wind Church. Nice to meet you!"

"——I have received a lot of care from your friends here, so...eh?"

The door was clearly open, but there was nothing in sight.
Barbara held her head high and blinked, then realized something a little late.

"."

Looking down, I found a little girl with white hair, green eyes and a ponytail on the left side of her hair through the crack of the open door.

Looking at the other person's height, which was about the same as Klee's, and his emerald green eyes that were so clear that they seemed to be able to reflect a person's soul,
Barbara, feeling her heart was purified, blinked in confusion, thinking that this was a little different from the image of a mature woman she had imagined.

"Well, so, your friends turned out to be these two?"

"Sorry, they look similar, I can't tell them apart."

Walk into the room and put the dessert on the table.

Barbara looked at the two little girls in front of her who were almost identical and had delicate features like dolls, and always felt that such a beautiful scene was unlikely to appear in reality.

"Sit down, don't be shy, here is some tea they just made."

"You guessed it right. The main reason why I asked you to help find some excellent desserts is because they both like them."

He picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of the scented tea that the tree king had just brewed for Barbara.
Lin Feng looked at the two little guys snuggling together, and the confused priest on the other side, and was not surprised that she couldn't tell the difference:
"For some reason, the two of them look almost identical. Even if I only look at their appearance, I may not be able to tell them apart. Miss Barbara, this is just the first time we meet, so don't take it too seriously."

Nashida had thought about changing the direction of the ponytail to make it more distinct, but every time she tied it up, the tree king would tie it back.
Lin Feng felt that judging from that guy's somewhat sinister character, he might be waiting for him to admit his mistake one day and then take the opportunity to make fun of him.

After a while, the dessert brought by Barbara was taken out, served on a plate and placed on the table to entertain the guests.

While the Tree King was making tea again, Nashida also put some snacks she made next to the cakes.

"."

The scene is harmonious and orderly, and there is a sense of rounded beauty when the actions are taken.

Barbara looked at the two little guys who looked like children but always gave people the feeling of being "very good at taking care of people".
Because I was completely unable to help, for some reason I suddenly felt a sense of failure as if I had "lost to a kid".

"Well, don't worry too much. I can't do these things better than them. Look, I'm just sitting there doing nothing, right?"

"Although they do look younger, they are also scholars. It's just that they grow very slowly due to some special reasons. In terms of actual age, they are even 'slightly' older than you and me."

"."

As he was talking, he suddenly paused.
Lin Feng looked at Barbara and remembered that he seemed to be like her at the beginning, feeling a little ashamed of letting Nashida take care of him.

???

So when did I get used to it? And is there something wrong with developing this habit?
Nashida and the Tree King are fine, but if this habit is passed on to a little one like Yaoyao, wouldn't they become completely useless adults?
As I was thinking, I suddenly fell into deep thought.
Lin Feng looked at the two little ones busying around him and himself who was refused to help by them, and suddenly felt that he seemed to be on the road of no return being turned into a social outcast by these two little guys.
