Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

If you encounter any problems, do not be greedy for credit or act rashly. You must return to the Knights and report everything to them, and let the Knights handle the matter.

He himself had no other opinion on this, and simply nodded in response.

“I understand, Grand Master Falga.”

"Then you should go and handle and make arrangements first."

After receiving Grand Master Falgar's permission, Diluc gave Grand Master Falgar a slight nod before turning and leaving the Knights' office.

After witnessing Diluc's departure, Grand Master Falgar showed no joy, to be honest, looking at Diluc's expression.

Although Diluc himself said that he would not be greedy for credit or act rashly when faced with problems, he also believed that the boy was not that kind of person.

To be honest, he had a vague worry that something unexpected might happen.

But in the end, he could only tell himself that perhaps he was just worrying unnecessarily.

After all, as the youngest cavalry captain in the Knights Order, the reliability of that promising young man was beyond question, so he had nothing to worry about.

After noticing the emotions on Grand Master Falga's face, the inspector looked at Grand Master Falga and asked him a question.

"Is it really okay to leave this matter to Diluc to investigate and handle?"

“But the Knights don’t have anyone more suitable to handle this matter than him. The executive officer named Pantalone is keeping me from leaving for the time being. I have to stay with the Knights, otherwise no one will be able to keep the Knights in check if I leave.”

"At least Diluc's reliability is something that you and I can both see, so we have no choice but to trust him."

After hearing the words of the inspector beside him, Grand Master Falga also sighed helplessly.

However, after speaking for a while, Grand Master Falgar paused slightly and then added a sentence.

"However, just in case, Illock, I hope you can keep an eye on Diluc so that we can deal with any unexpected situations."

"……it is good."

The inspector, whom Grand Master Falga called Ilock, had a slight glint in his eyes, then smiled and nodded in response.

After receiving confirmation from Inspector Ilock, Grand Master Falgar breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

"Leave this to me. I'll keep an eye on Diluc."

Just as the inspector named Ilock accepted the task entrusted to him by Grand Master Falga.

Shortly after Diluc left the Knights of Favonius office, he encountered a boy of similar age with a foreign appearance and bronze skin who had been waiting for him for a long time.

That was his adopted son, his sworn brother, with whom he had a close, confidant relationship, upon seeing the boy.

The boy with short, dark blue hair and an eye patch covering one eye greeted him.

"Yo, Diluc."

"Hmph, Kaeya."

The boy named Diluc chuckled softly, then revealed the name of the boy who was his sworn brother.

After greeting each other, the two burst into laughter simultaneously.

"Can you tell me why Grand Master Falga wants to see you? When I heard that you were summoned by Grand Master Falga, I thought you had done something wrong."

"It's nothing, just a letter from my father, so I plan to go back to the winery for a while."

Diluc ignored his sworn brother's witty remarks and simply replied with a nonchalant expression.

After realizing that Diluc ignored his joke, Kaeya stopped joking with Diluc, because he noticed something Diluc had mentioned.

Diluc's father, Cripps, was also his adoptive father.

This forced Kaeya to pay attention to what Diluc had mentioned, causing him to abandon his nonchalant attitude and ask Diluc seriously.

"What's the matter that requires you to go back? Do you want me to go back with you?"

"No need for that. I can handle this myself. It's not a big deal."

Diluc gently shook his head and replied.

He concealed his true purpose for returning from Kaeya, after speaking with Grand Master Falgar.

He knew that this matter involved the Fools, and considering that Mondstadt and Winterfell had established diplomatic relations, it was naturally impossible to bring this up in the open. Therefore, the best outcome would be for as few people as possible to know about it.

Therefore, even though it's his sworn brother, Diluc doesn't plan to tell him for the time being.

Although Kaeya sensed something unusual, he didn't say anything, only replying to Diluc.

"Since you've already said everything, I won't say anything more. However, if you encounter a problem that no one can solve alone, I hope you can ask me for help."

"After all, we're brothers, aren't we?"

"Of course, we are brothers."

The two exchanged a smile, then extended their fists and bumped them together.

"Then see you later."

"See you."

After exchanging a glance, they lowered their fists and made a promise to each other.
