Chapter 22 Apology by the Fire

 "Okay OK, Lord Qin, please be gentle."

Wendy tentatively shook her legs in the air, and said pitifully to Qin that the two were taken out of the tavern by the leader Qin as if they were carrying chickens.

"Amber lives in the dormitory on the second floor of the Knights. You guys think clearly what to say to her."

Qin first put down Wendy, and then put Famas in Wendy's arms.

Just as Wendy's feet landed on the ground, a powerful wind floated by, setting off a large cloud, making the city of Mond, which was already at dusk even darker.

"Hmm? Is it going to rain?"

Qin looked up at the sky, and because of Tvalin, the weather in Mond City became more and more strange.

"Is this what you did? Babatos?"

Famas, who was in Wendy's arms, jumped onto Wendy's head and asked in a low voice.

"Hey, if it rains heavily, we won't have to apologize now."

Wendy whispered to Famas.

As if he had guessed the thoughts of the two, Qin turned her gaze from the sky to the smiling Wendy.

"You have to go even if you are wet with the rain!"

———————————————

"Here you come! It's so late, is there anything important?"

More than ten minutes later, it was completely dark. On the second floor of the headquarters of the West Wind Knights, Qin and Wendy, who were wet, stood at the door of Amber's dormitory like a cock. Only Famas was hiding in Wendy's hat, so he was unharmed.

Even though it was late at night, there was still no slight sluggishness or displeasure in the sound coming from the other side of the gate.

After vaguely hearing the knock on the door, the detective knight Amber, who was clamoring for a bit of sleep due to the thunder and rain outside the window, immediately became alert and did not let the people outside wait for more than ten seconds, and then appeared in front of the door in an active and sunny manner on weekdays.

Amber was always so energetic and keen, but judging by the tears on his face, when no one was gone, he still felt guilty for losing the Eye of God.

"Hey!? It's the captain Qin and... a bard, why are they soaked like this? Come in!"

When Amber opened the door and saw the knocker, her expression changed from seriousness to relaxation, and then she became nervous and helpless again.

"Sir, have you found some clues about the Eye of God? I have recovered. Even without the Eye of God, I can continue to work..."

"No, here."

Qin shook her hair casually and took out the divine eye that originally belonged to Amber from her pocket. Her tightly-bound clothes were stained with water vapor and pressed against her skin, clearly outlining the scene of the limb lines, making Amber, who is also a woman, unable to help but be beating.

"Chief Qin, it's so big..."

Paying too much attention to Qin's awesome figure, Amber didn't even notice his own eyes of god on the piano player.

"Don't be so weird about your focus, Amber."

Qin said helplessly, then held the Eye of God and shook in front of Amber's eyes.

"My Eye of God!"

Seeing the familiar Jianyu, a feeling of blood connection surged into his heart. Amber shouted excitedly and took the Eye of God handed over by Qin.

"Thank you, Captain Qin, where did you find this?"

Amber held the lost Eye of God and checked it over and over again several times. After confirming that it was his lost Eye of God, he carefully hung it on his waist, and then touched it with concern, confirming that it was already hanging firmly around his waist.

"Let them explain it to you, borrow your bathroom, Amber."

Qin took the towel handed over by Amber and the pajamas for temporary replacement, and walked into the bathroom of the dormitory.

Famas was quietly emitting the power of the fire element on Wendy's head, helping Wendy evaporate the water droplets on her body.

Wendy obediently clamped her hands between her legs, and her body was constantly emitting white water vapor, and her hair was wet with rain gradually became fluffy.

"Ahem, Miss Amber, that's it..."

Feeling the warmth coming from his body, Wendy relaxed a little and began to explain why she wanted to steal the Eye of God.

"So... for Famas' recovery, more eyes of God are needed, but..."

Wendy stood up and concluded: "I'm sorry for the trouble we have caused you!"

Famas also jumped up and waved his little hand a few times.

After listening to the explanations of the two, Amber smiled gently, skillfully used the power of the Eye of God to easily ignite the fireplace to keep warm to the two of them, and then walked to the table, intending to prepare some hot drinks a little.

"It's okay, I can understand."

Amber, who took out four cups, whispered.

"Amber, you are the most considerate little angel I have ever seen!"

Wendy danced to Amber and said that Qin, who had finished taking a shower, came out of the bathroom in her pajamas.

"It seems you have been forgiven by Amber?"

Looking at the busy fiery red back, Qin sat back on the sofa, casually tucked the hair behind her and put it on her shoulders.

Amber took the tray and brought four cups of warm milk, and handed it to Qin, Wendy and Famas one by one.

"Yes."

Wendy took Wen's milk, grinned and said to Qin.

"Well...is the one in the portrait Amber's relative?"

Famas, who had taken a sip of milk, suddenly saw a portrait on the wall of Amber's living room. It was a bearded middle-aged man with a doting look in his eyes, and a photo with Amber who looked like he was a child.

"Yes, that's my most reliable grandfather. Otherwise, I'll tell you his story..."

The sound of charcoal burning crackled. On this sleepless rainy night, several people sat around the sofa, and Amber began to share the story of his proud grandfather.

Amber's grandfather was once the commander of the mercenary, from Liyue Port, responsible for protecting a caravan across the mainland. During a certain escort mission, the caravan was violently attacked by the group of monsters, and only his grandfather escaped by luck and was rescued by the doctors of the Knights of the West Wind.

In order to repay the doctor's life-saving grace, Wuyan's grandfather resolutely joined the West Wind Knights Order.

In the Knights, my grandfather established a scout knight squad, trained and led them on missions.

Not long after, he also met his beloved person in this strange land and started a family.

But one day a long time later, Amber's grandfather left the knight's emblem and sword in the Knights, leaving no one with a message, and left without saying goodbye.

After his grandfather left, the reconnaissance knights team, which relied too much on him, lost their backbone and became loose and slow.

After several fruitless missions, the status of the reconnaissance knight became increasingly marginalized. Although the squad retained its establishment, it has been destroyed in name only.

The Knights either transferred to other departments or retired and returned home. [Reconnaissance Knights Team] ended up being so sparse that they could not complete daily patrol missions.

What's more serious is that some people regard grandfather's departure as a defection, which undoubtedly adds to the insult to injury, making the remaining scout knights more difficult.

"It was not until the appearance of the fiery red knight Amber that the team of the reconnaissance knights was revitalized again."

Wendy held Famas, who was still drying his clothes, and praised Amber, who had been working hard to protect Mond City.

"No, little poet, I just did my job."

Amber, wearing a light red pajamas, squinted his eyes and enjoyed Wendy's praise, shaking his upper body back and forth on the sofa, looking quite happy.

"We will pay attention to the news about Grandfather Amber!"

The flames in the fireplace became dim.

The four of them talked very late.
