I'm not feeling right when I transform into Keqing

Not long after Keqing woke up, Noelle came to the room.

As usual, she still brought the prepared breakfast.

After greeting Noelle, Keqing washed up, took the book that Lisa had sent her yesterday from the bookshelf and placed it on the table.

Today, she will make the last and most important preparation before going to seal again, which is to select teammates.

Although Keqing is still confident in her own strength, especially after regaining control of her innate skills, her strength has greatly increased.

But although that place is a copy, it is also a real seal.

Every profession has its own specialties. For example, when it comes to cooking, Keqing has to admit that she is not as good as Noel.

The same applies to the issue of sealing.

Investigating a seal is not just a matter of breaking through with force. Professionals are needed to determine if there are any cracks or dangers inside the seal. Furthermore, this world does not have a single spiritual power, but is divided into seven elemental powers.

Keqing must find some other teammates with elemental eyes, just in case.

"Lady Keqing, I went to talk to her last night. She is in the laboratory today and we can find her directly." Noel said.

Keqing nodded and thanked her for her hard work. The person Noelle was talking about was naturally the professional Lisa recommended who could help with the investigation.

Only after the results of professional research can we determine whether the seal needs special means to strengthen its maintenance and sign a new treaty.

Moreover, Keqing has another purpose in going to the seal this time, which is her control over the second elemental force.

These days she has been thinking back on her conversation with the God of Wind, and she seems to have realized something.

Whether it was words or the final gift, the Wind God intentionally or unintentionally pointed to the seal inside the Wind Dragon Ruins.

It seemed to hint to her that she could find the answer she wanted there, which was to obtain the second Eye of the God of Wind.

Originally, Keqing was planning to ask Jean for more information about the seal yesterday. After all, as the leader of the team, she should have a lot of information that others have never seen.

But in the end I seem to have messed it up, which is a pity.

"Noelle, what do you think would be considered a sincere apology?" Keqing suddenly asked the maid during the meal.

Noelle's emerald eyes flashed with confusion: "A sincere apology?"

"Hmm..." After thinking for a moment, she said tentatively, "I think I should at least make my sincerity clear to others."

"For example, you should be polite when apologizing and bring a thoughtful gift of apology."

“Etiquette, apology... I see.” Keqing nodded slightly.

It seems that this is where the problem lies.

She understood. It seemed that she had to find an opportunity to give Qin a gift, but she didn't have much time now and could only wait until later.

……

……

After breakfast, Keqing followed Noelle out of the hotel.

Walking in the sunshine of Mond, I set out to find the "professional" recommended by Lisa.

Crossing the busy main street of Mondstadt, Noel led Keqing towards the headquarters of the Knights Templar.

What Keqing got was a temporary call-up letter for a member of the Knights Templar. Keqing was not surprised that the person was in the Knights Templar.

"She usually stays in the Knights and her own home. She rarely goes out. When she does, she usually follows her mentor." Noelle said, "However, I heard that her mentor seems to have gone abroad, so she has been staying in the laboratory for about half a month."

Isn’t this a typical “homegirl”?

However, this shouldn’t be considered a “personality problem”.

"You mean, the place where she stays is very dirty and I have to be prepared?"

"Ah, that's not the case." Noelle shook her head and said as she led the way: "She pays attention to hygiene. Although there are many strange collections at home, they are all well placed. It's just that mental preparation... Lady Keqing really needs it."

"It's better not to speak too loudly... Well, I'm afraid it will scare her."

(Are you shy?)

This is quite normal for a homebody.

However, as long as the ability is sufficient and they are just shy, Keqing certainly won't be picky.

As they walked and talked, they soon arrived at the house next to the Knights.

After entering, Noel greeted the gatekeeper, then went upstairs with Keqing.

She originally thought that this place should be a hotel, but when she came to the corridor on the second floor, she saw some broken glassware and a lot of black bags placed in the corridor, and many of the bags were stained with blood.

Keqing's expression changed a little.

"where is this place?"

“Oh, I forgot to mention that.” Noelle turned around and said, “This is the branch of the Knights’ Alchemy Department. It was originally located in the Knights’ headquarters, but because, well, alchemy seems to be quite dangerous, Lady Lisa moved it here.”

Alchemy?

Keqing had heard of this word before. It was similar to the alchemy practiced by immortals, but the things it could create were far more than just elixirs.

It is a very mysterious profession in Teyvat.

This is not the first time Keqing has come to Mondstadt. It was only today that she found out that this Knights Templar actually has an Alchemy branch.

But just like what Noelle said, these people are rarely seen in normal times, so it’s not surprising that they don’t know about the existence of this department.

“An alchemist? That should mean he’s quite capable,” Keqing said softly.

At this time, Noelle stopped in front of a door. She raised her hand and knocked on the door twice.

No one answered.

“Maybe I was too involved.”

"Um, I'm Noelle, I'm coming in."

Noelle turned the handle and slowly pushed the door open.

A laboratory filled with all kinds of strange instruments came into Keqing's sight.

These things are very similar to scientific research laboratories in the modern world, and modern instruments and equipment have been replaced by some magic circles that shine with beautiful light.

However, after Keqing looked around, she didn't find anyone.

"Is she not here?" Keqing asked.

"It seems so... It shouldn't be like that. I clearly told her several times yesterday that we were coming, and she nodded." Noelle said softly. Suddenly, she remembered something.

"Ah! I forgot. She was doing an experiment at the time. She must not have heard it."

In other words, the alchemist didn't know Keqing and the others were coming today, so he went out.

This is a difficult problem. I can only wait until tomorrow or go to her house.

(Noelle is very familiar with her, so she should know where her home is.)

Thinking of this, Keqing was about to ask Noel to take her to the scholar's house, but when Noel came to the window, he suddenly opened his eyes wide with a look of surprise.

"Hey! Found her, there she is!"

Keqing hurriedly walked to Noel's side, and through the window, she immediately saw a green figure in the bushes downstairs, looking sneaky and not like a scholar at all.

Chapter 38. Spicy Cat

The sneaky look of the green figure naturally reminded Keqing of what Lisa and Noelle had said: the scholar had some "personality" issues.

"She likes to peek?" Keqing asked.

“Eh? Peeping?” Noelle opened her mouth before she could react, and asked in surprise, “Sugar?”

It turns out that the alchemist's name was Sugar.

Keqing nodded slightly.

This name is quite cute. And looking at the grass from the second floor, the scholar seems to be wearing a pair of glasses. She should be a very gentle girl.

But... this character problem is indeed serious, so serious that Qin can directly put him in jail.

"Noelle, wait here, I'll go call her." Keqing said.

She decided not to bring Noelle with her, hide her identity, and talk to that sugar to see if she could correct her extremely incorrect habit.

"Ah good."

After Noelle nodded, she saw Lady Keqing walking out of the laboratory in a hurry, exhausted.

Standing in front of the window, looking at Sugar in the grass downstairs, Noel tilted his head, not understanding what Sugar was doing.

"Sugar peeping... Impossible... But if she wasn't peeping, why would she hide in the bushes in broad daylight?"

"Oh, oops, I forgot to remind Lady Keqing not to scare her!"

……

After walking down from the second floor, Keqing walked all the way towards the green grass on the street, but she slowed down when she got closer.

Although Keqing came here to severely correct other people's mistakes, you can't scold her openly on the street. After all, she is still Noel's friend.

The alchemist named Sucrose was wearing a white and blue scholar's uniform. The reason why Keqing saw it as green at first glance was because Sucrose's hair was the same emerald green as the grass.

If it weren’t for Keqing’s good eyesight, she wouldn’t have been able to see clearly that there was a person squatting in the bushes.

Moreover, when Keqing approached quietly, she found Sucrose squatting on the ground, holding a notebook and writing something, muttering to herself, as if she was - recording?

"Thirteenth observation. If nothing goes wrong, she will be at work in two minutes. Last time, I found that she is not only agile, but also... her sense of smell is much more sensitive than that of ordinary people. I almost got discovered. After my investigation, I found that it was probably related to the wind direction. This time, I deliberately stood in a windless place, so I shouldn't be discovered."

"Well... write down the environment first. This is the first and most basic thing in the test record." The girl squatting in the bushes began to write in the notebook, "It's a sunny day, the temperature should be... 25 degrees, no wind, and I'm in the bushes on the way to the Cat's Tail Tavern..."

At this time, Keqing had already crawled into the bushes and came to her side, asking her, "What are you doing?"

But the girl seemed not to hear, still squatting with her head down, writing and reading on a small notebook with a bone ornament: "The grass is 1.2 meters high and lush, it can cover me, there are no other small animals around, it will not interfere with the experiment, um... then the next step is to wait for her to come over, oh!"

Sucrose suddenly made a sound in surprise. Keqing thought she had noticed her and was about to say hello to her, but she found that Sucrose quickly moved forward and pushed her glasses.

A pair of amber eyes opened as big as copper bells.

"Here she comes, here she comes..."

Not far away, a long slanted shadow appeared on the street, which looked like some kind of animal.

"Meow~"

Then, with a meow, a calico cat walking lazily appeared in sight.

Sugar opened her mouth and said, "Hey...it's also a calico cat, but, but why isn't it that cat!"

Keqing, who had been squatting next to Sucrose for about five minutes, was a little confused.

Although she guessed that Sucrose was just peeping, but... it was the first time that Keqing saw someone peeping at a cat.

And it's so fanatical.

"I said……"

"It shouldn't be exposed." Sandang sniffed with her nose erect, and then continued to talk to herself: "Besides, I don't have any smell, except for the scent of flowers around me..."

"I said……"

"Eh? Wait, what kind of flower is this? It's not the sweet scent of Tiantian flower, nor is it the fresh scent of Cecilia flower. Could it be the Rainbow Flower? Hmm...but last time my teacher brought me a Rainbow Flower in Liyue, I remember it didn't smell like this..."

As she was talking, Satang suddenly felt a warm touch on her ear.

Thinking it was a bug, Sugar casually waved his hand to drive it away.

But her hand stopped because she seemed to touch something soft.

Turning her head, she saw an exquisite face.

Her hands were on someone else's breasts, and someone else's hands were on her ears.

They looked at each other in silence for three seconds.

"ah!"
