"I'm not a child like Klee. I don't need the care of an elder. Not to mention, this concern is more of a guilt for her..."

Eula shook her head and spoke.

"I can sense that you seem to be curious about me and Lawrence. So, have you heard that Lawrenceburg experienced a big fire a few years ago?"

"A fire? It sounds scary."

Paimon showed a slightly frightened expression, with his hands folded in front of his chest like a squirrel.

"That fire took away my father and turned the Lawrence family, this aging white beast, into ashes. From then on, it existed in name only."

Ying could vaguely sense that when Eula mentioned this matter again, there was no sadness or any emotion in her tone.

It's like telling other people's stories.

"At that time, the Knights defined the fire as a serious case of robbery and arson committed by someone inside Lawrence and the Treasure Stealing Group."

Eula continued to talk about her own experience, and recalled the night when she jumped out of the balcony with her "Dandelion".

"However, even though the criminal treasure-stealing gang and Lawrence's traitor were subsequently arrested, the handling of this case did not go as the Lawrence family had hoped, and it did not lead to an ending worthy of applause."

"Eh? The criminal has been caught, shouldn't everyone be happy?"

Paimon asked doubtfully.

"Yes. It is indeed a happy thing that all the criminals were caught, but the property they robbed was caused by an accident during the Knights' last action, which triggered the mechanism in the ruins.

All of them were buried in a secret place that no one would ever set foot on again. Although the Knights judged the criminals fairly, for the Lawrence family, who were also known as "descendants of criminals" at that time, what was important was not only the trial, but also the property compensation afterwards.

But the problem is that no one will bear this loss. Because this is an accident, accidents represent unpredictability, and people have no choice but to accept such a result, so in the end, it becomes a bad debt. "

What Eula said was an old story of the Lawrence family over the years, and it was also what her uncle Schubert had been working for over the years.

"Then the reason why Captain Qin takes such good care of Eula is because he wants to make up for what happened back then?"

Paimon thought he had found the key to the problem.

"No, it's something else related to this. When the fire was still under investigation, my sister, Yuya... was actually kidnapped by the Fatui."

Eula has always been upset about this matter, and so have several other friends.

"Eh--?!"

Paimon covered his mouth exaggeratedly.

"Doesn't that mean..." Ying thought she had guessed why the girl was not in Mond.

"Although I feel that you may have made a mistake, the incident was successfully resolved through the cooperation between me, my sister and my friends."

Eula's expression took on a hint of pride.

"He even dealt a heavy blow to the dragon Ursa, which had been causing trouble for Mondstadt for a long time. However, due to Lawrence's reputation, the Knights did not make this matter public, but instead focused on praising another reserve knight at the time...

Therefore, this incident is one of the reasons why Qin feels guilty. "

"Wow..."

The one who showed support was still Paimon, she was already shocked by the amount of information contained in it.

Of course, I don’t know whether she really understands how much value there is in this.

"In short, those who know about this incident basically know that the Lawrence family has been at odds with the Fatui since then. If this rumor of close contact was spread a few years ago, some people might have believed it, but now..."

Eula thought for a moment before speaking.

"Perhaps Qin, as the acting leader, is the only one who needs to seriously consider the impact that will come from this, to prevent someone with ulterior motives from taking advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble."

"Oh, it sounds very profound, but you and Captain Qin really have a tacit understanding."

Paimon's little head couldn't figure out all these complicated and confusing things, so he could only look at Ying with a confused expression.

"After all, from a certain perspective, Qin is also the lord of a city, and he must have more things to consider than us."

Ying spread her hands.

"Okay. After listening to these old stories, you should have a general idea of ​​what kind of person I am."

Eula smiled cheerfully.

"That's true. It's rare to find someone like Eula who tells others about his past so directly."

Paimon scratched his little head and complained.

"This is obviously the first time we've met, but now when we're chatting it feels like we're old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time."

"After all, what I like is 'Don't go out with someone you don't love', and since you've been recognized by Qin, I don't think you're annoying, so it's not impossible to lower my standards and apply them to you, and be friends."

After saying that, Eula also looked towards Mondstadt which was already within reach. In addition to the deputy captain who was going to deliver the task, she also had someone else to find.

She looked at the two of them and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"However, if you want to understand it more deeply... you have to get a gift from an angel and buy me a glass of legendary wine."

Chapter of Waves - Scene 1: The Waves Never Return to the Sea (V)

——It was an old wheelchair facing the window with a bird's nest built on the seat.

The parent birds feed their chicks here and then leave, leaving only the remaining feathers.

Time and again, generation after generation...

Tiny and short-lived lives were born, but none of them flew into the free blue sky.

If its owner were still alive, would he be happy about it?

……

Withdrawing her gaze, Eula broke free from her brief grief and even had a self-deprecating smile on her lips.

I said some unnecessary words to that traveler today.

But why was it her?

Just because I heard my sister's name from her mouth?

Obviously, since that day, I had made up my mind to continue moving forward in her place.

Calculating the time, maybe... it's time.

"——Eula! Are you okay?"

The voice of the "little fairy"-like creature came from downstairs.

It seems his name is Paimon?

If my sister were still alive, she would probably be very interested in it.

While thinking about things related to her sister, Eula responded.

“I’ll be right soon!”

Before going to the Angel's Gift, she naturally needed to go home and rest up, after all, staying in the wild was different from being in the city.

Although she is confident that she doesn't smell bad, why not make herself feel fresher?

Moreover, this would also make her feel more...that her sister was still with her.

That child is a little bit of a germaphobe.

Walking downstairs, the two were a little surprised to see Eula in casual clothes. After taking off the guerrilla knight outfit, the Eula that appeared in front of them looked more like a well-educated aristocratic girl.

Intellectual yet elegant.

"What, are you stunned?"

Eula gave a sly cat-like smile and teased in a boyish voice.

"Well, well... it's a bit unexpected."

Ying blushed slightly and quickly looked away.

"As the saying goes, clothes make the man. After Eula changed her clothes, her temperament became different."

Paimon walked around her in a circle, sighing.

"From this perspective, we don't seem to be going to a tavern, but rather to some aristocratic banquet."

“Don’t think that’s a good place, you wouldn’t want to attend a real aristocratic banquet.

Not only did he have very little to eat, but he also carried wine with him and looked for people to chat with. Even if they didn't know each other before, they would still flatter each other.

Rather than dining, the focus there is more on the social atmosphere and the 'interest game' composed of rules."

Youla had naturally participated in several banquets hosted by the family. Compared with the relatively free and relaxed atmosphere of the Dawn Winery, the aristocratic atmosphere inside Lawrence was obviously stronger and more "retro".

"Ah, then there really is nothing to think about."

Paimon clicked his lips and immediately lost interest in the noble banquet where there was not much food.

And Ying also spoke up at the right time: "So, let's just go to where the 'common people' should go."

Her joking look made Eula's smile deepen.

"That's right. It's not only easier to go there, but there are also fewer things to worry about."

Go to the angel's gift, and the three of them gradually became excited.

Eula is very talkative, and Paimon will liven up the atmosphere, and Ying will occasionally chime in with a word.

Although they had only known each other for a short time, the three of them seemed like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time and had a very enjoyable conversation.

While in the pub, they met another acquaintance.

Lisa.

This man, who is known as a genius that only appears once in two hundred years in the Xumi Order, is currently the librarian of Mondstadt. Now he is sitting in a quiet corner, sipping a glass of love poetry.

After spotting the three people, he waved warmly and asked them to sit over with him.

"Hmm? Lisa, you're here too."

Paimon said curiously.

"That's right. After all, the workday is over, so we should enjoy our leisure time, right?"

Lisa gently held her cheek with a faint smile on her soft face.

"I thought you would stay with Qin."

"Haha. Our unromantic acting leader is still working overtime in the Knights' Order. No matter what I say, he is not willing to have a drink with me. But since you are here, how about you come and chat with me?"

Although she said this to Ying, Lisa's seductive eyes fell on Eula, making her feel tingling as if her skin was being passed through by static electricity.

In fact, Eula is not very capable of dealing with a woman like Lisa.

She is different from her friends who always doubt their sexual orientation, hide their sexual orientation, are afraid of others knowing their sexual orientation, and do not believe in their sexual orientation.

She is very sure that she likes girls.

Especially girls who are petite, weak and easy to be controlled.

She didn't feel it at first, but after her body began to develop, Eula gradually felt the difference.

At least the bodies of the same sex attract her more attention than those of the opposite sex, and occasionally she would be attracted by the body fragrance of Amber who would come close to her unconsciously.

This happened more than once when I accidentally looked at other people's breasts.

Just like now.

Lisa was showing off her turbulent "human heart" without any hesitation, and her charming smile seemed to be "tempting" herself.

Eula turned her head slightly, pretending not to notice her teasing, and sat down with the traveler.

By this time they had started talking about another topic.

"Does Lisa like the drinks here?"

"If I were to choose a place for afternoon tea, besides the library, it would be this Angel's Gift."

The Rose Witch nodded slightly, and there was still a sweet lip print on the edge of Bai Jie's cup.

"After all, sometimes people get lazy and don't even bother to make their own coffee."

"It always feels like Lisa is being laziness-conscious."

Paimon scratched his head.
