I'm not feeling right when I transform into Keqing

Qin's ears turned red and her cheeks burned, but she still spoke out bravely.

"Sometimes I think of you when I'm working during the day..."

"Sometimes I meet you in my dreams at night..."

"When I close my eyes, all I see is... you."

Chapter 139: Conversation in the Office

Even when the noble knight takes off his arms, he is just a girl missing someone.

However, in response to these touching words, Keqing just shook her head and showed no sign of being moved.

It wasn't that she was cold-blooded, nor was it that Qin's words weren't touching enough.

On the contrary, Keqing, who thought she had seen through most of the world, was like a zither whose strings had been plucked by Qin's words, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

Qin's answer took her by surprise.

It was because Keqing was so surprised that the "strings" were smoothed out in an instant.

Because as the person who knows Qin best, Keqing dares to conclude that she would never say such a thing.

Then there is only one answer.

"This is what Lisa taught you, right?" Keqing asked after releasing her hand that was covering her eyes.

Qin stopped talking, and her face, which was still tinged with afterglow, looked a little embarrassed.

As long as she is not embarrassed, Keqing will be the one who is embarrassed.

But Qin was thin-skinned to begin with, and it was very, very embarrassing for her to say such words.

Being exposed in front of Keqing made her want to turn into a baby rock dragon lizard and find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"It seems I was right. These words were just what she taught you. They are not some 'magic weapon for winning', right?" Keqing sighed. "You only care about work and don't care about me at all."

"No!" Qin said hurriedly, "I, I really miss you often!"

Qin hurriedly explained, but what she saw was Keqing's smiling eyes.

This is what Qin would say, not the perfect answer that only outstanding graduates from colleges and universities would give.

"Okay, okay, I get it." Keqing stopped teasing her and got down to business.

"I just arrived in Mondstadt, and I have something to tell you."

Keqing walked to the sofa nearby, sat down, and glanced at the coffee cup on the table.

The coffee in the cup had been finished, which meant that Qin had probably stayed in this office for another whole day.

"Have you been processing documents in the office recently?" Keqing asked.

Qin nodded slightly: "Yeah."

"You don't know what happened more than a week ago?"

"More than a week ago?" Qin said after a moment's silence, "Are you talking about the Demon God's Disaster in Liyue? I've heard of that. That's what I was most worried about. I was afraid that something might happen to you, but later I learned from a letter from a friend that you were safe and sound, and I felt relieved."

It is normal for Qin to know about the Demonic Disaster.

Including the death of the Emperor, these were major events that spread throughout Teyvat.

But this was not what Keqing asked.

"Apart from the Demonic Disaster, didn't you notice anything else?" Keqing asked.

"Something else?"

There was obvious confusion on Qin's face.

At this time, Keqing would not be a riddler, and said directly: "Nothing unusual was found on the snow mountain?"

"Snowy mountain...?"

Qin frowned slightly. It was self-evident which snow mountain she was referring to. Unlike a thousand years ago, there was only that one snow mountain in Mond at this time.

"Are you talking about 'Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain'? There are indeed some abnormalities there, but... they have been appearing for a long time."

Although Jean did not mention the abnormality of Dragonspine Snow Mountain to Keqing, it has almost become the subconscious awareness of Mondstadt people not to blindly venture into the snow mountain.

This rule was established long ago when the Grand Commander was still in Mondstadt.

I don’t know why Keqing brought this up at this time.

And Keqing didn't say anything else. It was obvious that Jyn didn't know about Tevarin yet.

Tevarin transformed into a dragon of the abyss and was chased by the two gods all the way to the Dragonspine Snow Mountain. Keqing thought that there would be at least one earth-shaking battle.

But judging from the reactions of the people of Mond and Jyn, let alone fighting, they didn't even know that Tevarin had escaped to the snowy mountains.

"Did something happen in the snow mountain?" Qin asked, looking at Keqing who had been silent for a long time.

"Yes, this is also the reason why I came to Mondstadt." Keqing nodded, "However, I don't know the details myself, so I need to ask someone."

"Ask who?"

"Wind God."

Qin thought for a moment and nodded slightly. She agreed with Keqing's idea.

Qin herself did not find anything unusual about the snow mountain, or rather, Qin was not that sensitive to the abnormal snow mountain.

She couldn't help Keqing if there were any new abnormalities in the snow mountain or something happened.

But as the god of Mondstadt, Lord Barbatos must know something.

If it's about finding the God of Wind, she can help.

"Then I'll go buy some wine." Qin said.

"Well... okay, but don't buy anything too expensive." Keqing instructed.

“Ah? But…” Seeing Keqing’s expression, Jean nodded: “Then I’ll buy some cider wine.”

She didn't know why Keqing was so confident about going to find the God of Wind and was unwilling to even bring a bottle of good wine, but Keqing must have her reasons for saying so, so she didn't make any extra suggestions.

"Oh, there is one more thing. That's why I came to Mondstadt." Keqing remembered that there was something she hadn't said yet.

"besides?"

Keqing then told Jean about Diona.

Hearing that Diona actually appeared on the streets of Liyue, even the steady Qin felt a little unbelievable.

Mondstadt is so far away from Liyue that even if you ride at full speed it will take a whole day and night.

For ordinary horse-drawn carriages or people walking, the fastest time could be ten days to half a month, and the slowest could be a month.

From the time Jean looked for the cat to the time she appeared in Liyue, the time that passed was exactly the time Keqing stayed in the seal.

In about seven days, Diona actually walked from Mondstadt to Liyue Harbor.

"How can this cat be so amazing? It ran so far and didn't get lost..." Qin murmured softly, her words revealing shock.

Keqing held her forehead with her hand: "I think she came to Liyue just because she got lost."

"Ah? Is that so?" Qin was stunned. This was something she had never thought of.

"Well, she did come back, but she didn't seem very willing to go back to Qingquan Town," Keqing said.

Keqing didn't know much about the cat, so she didn't take the initiative to take the cat back to her parents.

As the cat said, as citizens of Mondstadt, it would be better to leave this matter to Captain Jean.

Qin did not disappoint Keqing. After sitting in deep thought for a while, she nodded and said, "Then I will go to Qingquan Town later to talk to Mr. Dulav. He and his wife have not been eating or sleeping well these days. At least we need to tell them the news as soon as possible."

"As for Diona, she should be back at the tavern now, right?"

"Ah."

"Then don't worry about it for now." Qin said, "It's not good for me to interfere in their family affairs in the name of the leader. Let's see if there is a chance for Diona to meet them."

“Okay then.” Keqing nodded.

Chapter 140. The Bard Sings

The process of coming to Mondstadt to ask the God of Wind for the specific reasons has officially begun. As Zhong Li said, as long as Keqing finds the God of Wind and asks, she will probably know what happened.

The matter about Diona also came to an end. The double-talking cat returned to the tavern, and the commission that had troubled Qin for several days was finally resolved.

Both of them got satisfactory results.

But just when Keqing was about to say goodbye to Jean and was planning to go directly to find the God of Wind.

At this moment, Qin stood up and walked to the opposite side of the sofa where Keqing was sitting.

"So, now can you tell me why you lied to me?"

"Ah? Lied to you?" Keqing asked in confusion, and then she remembered that night.

Qin sat on the sofa, her face calm and her tone normal, but Keqing reflected in her sky-blue eyes looked a little embarrassed.

Keqing, who was sitting on the sofa, hesitated for a while, then raised her hand and coughed.

"That... isn't a lie."

"Then why was I on the grass when I woke up?" Qin asked in confusion, crossing her arms with a hint of anger in her eyes, "And I didn't see you either?"

It has been a long time since Qin got angry at Keqing like this, and Keqing even seemed to have forgotten Qin's meticulous character.

I was bewitched by her sweet and delicate appearance as she fell in love.

In fact, Qin only seems a little dazed when it comes to love. In normal times, or in this matter, she is very clear.

In other words, Keqing has no chance of getting away with it.

After hesitating for a moment and thinking it over, Keqing said, "I did lie to you. I'm sorry."

There was no explanation, but an apology took Qin by surprise.

But this is what Keqing often does.

If it is wrong, Keqing certainly won't force it to be blackened and say it is right.

Well, since you are wrong, you should apologize and accept the criticism.

Keqing does this when handling official duties or in her daily life.

This time is no exception.

But... this is not what Qin wants to hear.

Of course, she wasn't really angry with Keqing, she just wanted to know why Keqing did this.

So he hesitated there, not knowing how to get Keqing to say it.

Instead, it was Keqing herself who told Jyn the reason why she wanted to seal.

After learning what happened, Qin also understood why Keqing was so anxious at the time.

When it comes to matters concerning her own country, Qiqi can certainly understand and support Keqing's actions.

So she just shook her head and said it was okay.

It can be regarded as accepting Keqing's apology.

This made Keqing smile.

But this smile did not last long.

"Don't do this next time." Qin sighed, looked at her and said, "You...at least tell me, otherwise I will be very worried."

"At the time, I thought something had happened to you, so I went to the nearby forest to look for you for a long time. I finally met a hunter on the road. He saw you walking towards the Wind Dragon Ruins. That's when I realized you left without saying goodbye and went inside the seal."

"sorry."

Qin shook her head: "I don't want to hear sorry."

She just wanted Keqing to promise her not to do this again. Even if she just told her that she would leave after she fell asleep, Qin would accept it.
