“Miss Yura, you can’t say that. If someone on the street slashes a melon seller with a knife, would you blame the knife seller? That’s just being unreasonable.”

Perhaps she had vented her anger, or perhaps her intelligence had returned; after thinking about it carefully, Yura realized that this was indeed the case, and it seemed that Su Bai really couldn't be blamed for this.

Su Bai was also somewhat helpless. He had promised Xiao Keli that he would become friends with Yura, but now it seemed that he should just go eat a rock. Well, eating a small pebble should also be called eating rock, right?

For a moment, all three fell silent. Yura had figured things out, but her proud and aloof nature made her too embarrassed to apologize.

"Alright, alright, since it's a misunderstanding, Miss Yura, let's be friends."

Having years of experience interacting with Keqing, Su Bai already knew how to communicate with tsundere characters. After Su Bai gave Yura a way out, Yura readily accepted it.

"For Amber's sake, I admit you are my friend, Yura Lawrence, but I will remember this grudge forever."

Seeing the two people in front of her who had just been locked in a deep-seated hatred now chatting like old friends, Amber was secretly happy for Yura. With Yura's resources, she had no shortage of Mora, delicious food, beautiful clothes, and so on, but she didn't have many friends.

Considering the hostility people in Mondstadt harbor towards Yola, Amber hoped that Su Bai could become good friends with Yola. Looking at the two chatting happily in front of her, Amber made the suggestion directly.

"Yura, didn't you invite me to help you investigate who the Dark Night Hero is the day before yesterday? I really don't have time these days, so I'll have Su Bai do it for you."

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Encounter Between the Wave Knight and the Chuunibyou Girl

In the residential area of ​​Mondstadt, feeling the disgusted looks from those around her, Yura suddenly felt an urge to leave Su Bai's side. She didn't want her newly acquainted friend to suffer this malice for no reason because of her.

"What's wrong? Are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?"

Su Bai's slightly lazy voice rang in Yura's ears. Yura shook her head. Just now, when Amber made this suggestion, Su Bai agreed without hesitation.

"Su Bai, you actually led me for so long, I'll remember this grudge."

"Okay, okay, I'll remember that. I just wanted to find a helper."

Seeing Yura, who was tilting her head back with an arrogant look, still following behind him, Su Bai smiled knowingly. It seemed that his friend's arrogance was about the same as Diona's. He really didn't expect that such an arrogant person would become friends with Sister Yanfei.

However, it seems that his new friend is not very popular in Mondstadt. Su Bai glanced at the Mondstadt residents around him. As an immortal, his perception was very strong, not to mention that the disgust in these people's eyes was not hidden at all.

During this short period of time together, Su Bai could see that Yura was not a bad person. The fact that she could become the captain of a guerrilla squad to protect Mondstadt at such a young age and with the status of an ordinary person was enough for Su Bai to accept Yura.

Despite her noble status, she did not indulge in pleasure; despite having a higher starting point than most people, she was not arrogant or disdainful of others; despite possessing considerable strength, she did not act recklessly. The noble virtues of a knight are fully embodied in Yura.

Such an excellent knight was viewed in this way by the people she was protecting. After ruling out Yura's own problems, the only explanation is the surname Lawrence.

"Yura, we've arrived."

Su Bai gently knocked on the wooden door in front of him. After a while, Fischl peeked out from the crack in the door. Seeing that it was Su Bai in front of the door, Fischl immediately opened the door.

"My loyal servant, have I told you about my bedchamber?"

"I just followed the lightning element on Oz to find this place. Here, this is your share of Mora from that day. I brought it to you."

When Fischl heard that Su Bai had come to deliver Mora, her eyes lit up and she took the Mora from Su Bai's hand. She had just been at home wondering how to ask Su Bai for this Mora.

"Lord Su Bai, your arrival is just in time. The Queen of Youye is about to celebrate her birthday. Miss was just wondering how to ask you for her share of Mora, since that reward was Mora that Miss had prepared to buy a gift for the Queen of Youye."

"Oz! Get back to your room."

Fischl is too shy to look Su Bai in the eye now. Once Su Bai leaves, she's going to give Oz a good beating. Doesn't it know that some things shouldn't be said?

"Haha, Su Bai, this is your so-called helper? A little girl?"

Yura looked Fischl up and down, and she really couldn't understand how a chuunibyou girl could be of any help to her in finding the Dark Knight.

"No, I didn't ask Fischl for help."

Su Bai shook his head, denying Yura's words. The highly intelligent Oz immediately realized that Su Bai's visit was probably not just to ask for its help.

"If there is anything I can do to help you, please don't hesitate to ask."

"Then I'll leave it to Oz. I'll be waiting for you at the Deer Hunter Restaurant tonight."

Just as Su Bai and Oz were discussing the details of the evening's mission, the two unpopular girls in Mondstadt looked at each other. Whether they knew each other's situation or not, Fischl and Yura surprisingly found themselves talking together.

Seeing that Yura and Fischl were chatting enthusiastically, Su Bai secretly gave Oz a look. Oz understood and left the living room to go into a small room with Su Bai.

Inside the small room, Su Bai took out two snacks from the space of the Eye of God. Oz thanked Su Bai and then happily ate them.

"Oz, when did you figure out my intentions?"

"From the moment I met Miss Lawrence, I had a rough idea of ​​Lord Su Bai's purpose."

"No wonder you deliberately embarrassed Fischl; you wanted to pique Yura's interest in Fischl, didn't you?"

Oz nodded, a hint of shrewdness in its small eyes. Fischl was the person it was going to protect for the rest of its life, and it couldn't be careless about anything related to Fischl.

"Speaking of which, I must also thank Lord Su Bai for finding a good friend for Miss. Miss has almost no female friends in Mondstadt."

Fischl and Yura's relaxed laughter drifted through the walls into the small room. Inside, the fox and the night raven exchanged a glance, their joy clearly visible to each other.

“Oz, you must have lived in Mondstadt for a while now, so do you know why the people of Mondstadt hate the surname Lawrence so much?”

"Your Excellency Su Bai, this issue dates back a long time..."

Inside the living room, Fischl was describing her territory to Yura in her uniquely chuunibyou (delusional) way, and Yura was listening with great interest. It was clear that Fischl was to Yura's liking. Taking advantage of the moment when Fischl was drinking water, Yura asked a question.

"Little sister, you've been talking for so long and I still don't know your name. I'll remember this grudge."

Upon hearing Yura ask her name, Fischl immediately put down her water glass and jumped onto the sofa. A wisp of lightning element gathered at her fingertips, and the exposed eye emitted a faint purple light.

"I am Fischl, the Princess of Judgment, the ruler of the Dark Ashes, Waaaaaaah!"

When the ruler of the Dark Embers was mentioned, an excited Fischl stomped her foot on the table. It's unclear whether the table was too old or Fischl used too much force.

The table creaked under the weight and then crumbled into pieces of wood. Fischl stumbled and fell. If Yura hadn't caught Fischl in time, he would have been injured by the broken pieces of wood.

"Fischl, are you alright?"

"It's all over, it's all over. I broke Mom's favorite vase. Mom will definitely make Dad spank me with 'Seven Wolves' cigarettes. No, it might be Mom herself."

Seeing Fischl sitting on the ground looking completely defeated, Yura couldn't help but burst out laughing. Startled, Su Bai and Oz came out of the small room and saw the broken pieces on the ground. Oz's flapping wings faltered, and he almost fell from the sky. This was Fischl's mother's favorite vase, which was said to be an antique. Was Oz going to become a roasted night raven today?

"Lord Su Bai, if you have time to come to Mondstadt next year on this day, please be sure to scatter a handful of beans at my grave. I will pray for you in the other world."

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Hero of the Night

As night fell, Oz arrived at the Deer Hunter's Restaurant as promised. Instead of the already prepared Su Bai and Yura, he was greeted by a strange white-haired creature slumped in a chair and a blonde girl he had never seen before.

"Ying, Yura's cooking is so good! I wonder if she'll treat us to something again next time we meet." (Yura's cooking really is excellent; it's said that the guerrilla squad's rations are the best in the Knights of Favonius.)

“Paimon, Yura clearly made dinner for Su Bai, but you ended up eating most of it.”

"Hmph, Mingying, you ate a lot too, yet you're criticizing me."

When Paimon exposed her secret, Luminous blushed and immediately grabbed Paimon's fat face. Paimon wanted to resist, but he was too full to move, so he could only let Luminous torment him.

"Oh, looks like I've arrived just in time. Oz, isn't Fischl here?"

Su Bai walked out from around the corner of an alley with a piece of paper in his hand. Back at Fischl's house, Fischl had said that he would be working with them that night.

It seems that Fischl is stuck at home and can't get out. Su Bai's confusion made Oz's Night Raven show a touch of human embarrassment.

"Miss is currently being disciplined at home because she broke the table, so she probably won't be able to come tonight."

"Huh? A talking crow!"

Paimon was startled by Oz's sudden speech, and Luminous also glanced at Oz warily, but seeing that Oz and Su Bai seemed to know each other, Luminous didn't pay much attention to Oz.

"By the way, Su Bai, where's Youla? Didn't she go with you to gather intelligence?"

Paimon's affection for Yura has skyrocketed ever since he ate her cooking. Now that he sees only Su Bai has returned, Paimon asks a question in confusion.

"Did you get separated in Mondstadt?"

"No, Yura was suddenly called away by a Knight of Favonius. It seems that there are some problems with the Lawrence family that Yura needs to solve."

“Oz, take a look at this painting. This is a portrait of a hero of the night that I drew based on someone else’s description. You can find the person in this painting in a moment.”

Oz looked at the painting in Su Bai's hand. Hmm, to be able to use such simple lines to draw such an abstract pattern, Su Bai's painting skills are indeed unfathomable.

But do such abstract figures truly exist on the continent of Teyvat? Oz scrutinized the 'person' on the paper with its small eyes, while the curious Paimon flew over to Su Bai and poked its head out.

"Hey? Su Bai, what kind of weird monster are you drawing? Why is it so ugly?"

"What monster? This is a portrait of a Dark Night hero that I drew based on other people's descriptions. Even if it's not exactly the same, it's still about 80 or 90 percent similar."

Su Bai grumbled in dissatisfaction. Paimon handed the portrait to Ying. Ying looked at the abstract portrait and didn't know whether to criticize Su Bai's painting skills first or pity Oz, who was looking for someone in the painting.

"Then I shall depart, Lord Su Bai."

Before Oz could take flight, a dense burst of fire element exploded directly at the east gate of Mondstadt. The fire and explosion instantly attracted Su Bai and the others. Watching the fire element dissipate in mid-air, Su Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.

"This fire element is no weaker than Little Walnut's. It seems that Mondstadt is not without powerful figures hidden in the shadows."

At the east gate of Mondstadt, Diluc was wielding the Favonius Greatsword and locked in combat with an ice-elemental abyss mage. Because they were inside Mondstadt, Diluc was worried about causing panic among the crowd, so he did not use his full strength, which led to a stalemate in the battle.

In order to defeat Diluc as quickly as possible, the ice elemental abyss mage removed his shield, and the dense ice element forced Diluc to dodge and avoid the attack.

"It seems our Night Elf hero needs a little help."

"Who goes there!"

Before the terrifying abyss mage could even cast a shield on himself, a delicate fruit knife pierced his chest. With a scream, the abyss mage, who was quite powerful, turned into ashes.

Thank you.

Diluc emerged from the smoke. The swordsmanship of the Lygenfender family emphasizes wide, sweeping movements, making it difficult to deal with agile enemies like the Abyss Mage when their strength is suppressed.

"You're too kind. But what I didn't expect was that you, Diluc, would be a Night Elf hero."

"Yeah, yeah, Diluc is really a Night Elf hero? He doesn't look like Su Bai at all."

Paimon held the portrait drawn by Su Bai and looked it over at Diluc from left to right, but after a thorough observation, he couldn't find a single resemblance.

"Ahem, don't worry about the details. I just drew a rough sketch based on the eyewitness's description."

Su Bai's words made Diluc curiously glance at the portrait in Paimon's hand. Upon seeing it, Diluc almost choked. Was this indescribable creature on the paper really the Dark Hero described by the person he saved? This damn Bhikkhu looks like a monster.

"Hero of the Night? Is this my new nickname?"

Diluc flexed his wrists and used fire to evaporate and melt all the water and ice on the ground. Judging by his skill, he must have done this many times before.

"Hmm, but the name 'Hero of the Night' is too awful. Paimon has decided to give Lord Diluc a new nickname."

"Let's call him Lord Diluc the Righteous Man, hehe."

Diluc gave Paimon a deadpan stare. Were these two, one big and one small, really trying to annoy him? He'd even had a sliver of hope when Paimon mentioned the nickname earlier.
