Noelle became nervous when he saw Gao Muming's face suddenly change after hearing that he put medicine in the tea.

"Did I violate your taboo by taking the initiative?"

As Noelle spoke, a trace of grievance appeared on her face, and her bright eyes became a little moister.

"If so, I'm sorry, and I beg your forgiveness."

After seeing Noel's expression, the members of the Knights of Favonius around him walked silently behind Noel and showed ferocious expressions to Takagi Akira, as if they would make Takagi Akira pay if he dared to say anything that irritated Noel.

Seeing the knights' performance, Takagi Akira instantly understood his current situation.

"As a man, they are jealous of Noelle for taking care of him so personally. Now they have made her cry and feel extremely lost. I guess they have already decided to die in their hearts."

Gao Muming, who understood his situation, quickly spoke in defense.

"No, no, no, I don't have any objections. Miss Noelle is also thinking about my health. I can't thank you enough."

Seeing that Noel's face looked much better, Takagi Akira hurriedly continued to explain.

"I'm just afraid of the bitterness and don't dare to take the medicine. My bad face is just a subconscious reaction when I heard you say there was medicine in the tea."

"By the way, Ms. Noelle, could you please teach me how to mask the taste of the medicine without affecting its efficacy? This way I won't have to worry about the medicine being too bitter in the future."

"Is that so? My method is only effective for this kind of powder. I need to research how to alleviate the bitterness of other medicines."

After quietly listening to Takagi Akira's explanation, Noelle's eyes lit up.

"By the way, you must be hungry after sleeping for so long. Please wait a moment. I will prepare food."

After saying that, Noelle hurriedly went to the kitchen with the ingredients.

Takagi Akira, who stayed where he was, let out a long sigh as he watched the knights who had surrounded him disperse with satisfied expressions on their faces.

Looking at the knights who were dispersing and observing him out of the corner of their eyes from time to time, Gao Muming wiped his forehead which was covered with cold sweat.

"I should have barely passed the test now. If I had been just a little bit closer, I would have lost my life."

Feeling the knights' vague gazes on him, Takagi realized that it would be even more difficult for him to leave secretly.

Takagi Akira turned around resignedly and followed Noelle into the Knights' dormitory.

"Forget it, let's just throw the can down the drain. After all, I did help a little. I shouldn't... I shouldn't be caught and handed over to Liyue, right?"

That afternoon, the Knights who fought against the Hilichurl army at the city gate successfully won the victory at the cost of some of their men being slightly injured.

In the evening, while enjoying dinner with Noelle, Takagi Akira was suddenly notified to gather at the square in front of the West Wind Cathedral.

Following Noel, they moved in one direction along with a large group of people. Takagi Akira looked at Noel with some curiosity.

"What happened?"

"Captain Qin is back and said he has something to announce."

After getting the answer from Noelle, Takagi knew that the matter of Tevarin was over.

Just as Gao Muming thought, after people filled the square, Qin loudly announced something exciting - "The dragon plague in Mondstadt is over."

Looking at the cheering people in the square, Gao Muming was also infected by the atmosphere and started laughing.

The next day, Takagi Akira, who had originally planned to leave under the pretext that the dragon disaster was over, decided to stay one more day because he could not resist Noelle's great kindness and enthusiastic invitation.

After being taken by Noelle to visit various attractions in Mondstadt, the two of them once again came to the square where the huge statue of the god of wind stood.

"Isn't this Gao Muming?"

Just as Gao Muming was looking up at the statue of the God of Wind, a crisp voice came from behind.

Gao Muming turned his head and saw Ying and Paimon walking towards him with happy faces.

"He is the Honorary Knight. I didn't expect that you are an acquaintance of the Honorary Knight."

Seeing Ying coming over, Noelle seemed a little excited.

"That's great! When can I become a formal knight?"

I don’t know if it was Akira Takagi’s illusion, but Ying, who was originally smiling brightly, had a slightly stiff smile the moment she saw Noel beside her.

Paimon flew to Gao Muming's side very rudely.

"We were thinking of sharing the treasure with you, but you ended up sightseeing in Mondstadt with the maid. You're even less reliable than a drunkard who's slacking off. I'm telling you, we'll get an extra 10% as a storage fee."

"This is Noelle, the person assigned by Kaia, the maid of the Knights of Favonius, to look after me."

After hearing Gao Muming's explanation, Gao Muming was somewhat hurt by Paimon's first reaction.

"Did you commit a crime in Mondstadt? Considering your identity, it's quite possible."

"identity?"

After hearing what Paimon said, Noelle looked at Takagi Akira with some curiosity.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gao Muming quickly laughed it off and tried to divert the topic that was unfavorable to him.

"Yes, it was because I fought against the Abyss Cult members with you that I was falsely accused by the Abyss Cult members of being their contact person two days ago."

"I thought you..."

"Little Paimon."

Ying quickly spoke up to interrupt what Paimon was about to say.

"Didn't Amber just say that Jean wants to see us and is waiting for us in the West Wind Cathedral?"

"That's right, let's go quickly and don't let Qin wait anxiously."

"This is the scene where the lady is about to reveal her true feelings. Should I take a closer look at the situation?"

Just as Gao Muming was thinking about it, Ying grabbed one of Gao Muming's hands and dragged Gao Muming towards the West Wind Cathedral.

Seeing Ying holding his little hand, Gao Muming sighed in his heart, no longer resisted, and obediently followed Ying's footsteps.

"It looks like I have to get involved. Well, I can have a try with the people who are at the top of Teyvat's human race and see how much I have strengthened myself."

Feeling that the person behind her no longer resisted her power, Ying smiled.

Just as everyone reached the stairs in front of West Wind Cathedral, a green figure floated down from the statue.

"Wendy!"

"Hey, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

When everyone arrived at the church, they saw Qin who had been waiting in front of them for a long time.

Seeing everyone coming over, Qin waved happily, and when everyone came closer, she pointed at the girl next to her and introduced her to them.

"This is the church's specialist in charge of recovering the Sky Harp, Pastor Barbara."

Barbara, with twin ponytails, bowed to everyone and glanced at Wendy, Ying and Paimon.

"May the wind god protect you. Although I am not qualified to say this, I still want to thank you all for your efforts for Mond."
