"Captain Jean, you're here. I'm fine."
"I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad."
"Come, let's go back together."
"Captain Jean, what about the gentleman I saved?"
"That gentleman has successfully descended the mountain. After he came down, he followed his companions to Mondstadt. That's how I got the news and came here immediately."
It must be said that having this Spatial Jump Pen is really convenient.
"That's good."
As soon as Noelle heard this, her tense nerves completely relaxed. She was about to say something, but suddenly everything went black.
Then her whole body fell to the ground.
Captain Jean hurriedly went forward and caught Noelle.
She looked at the sleeping child in her arms. Even though she was already asleep, there was still a smile on her face.
This both made her helpless and heartbroken.
"Ah, Noelle, you've worked hard. Rest well."
After saying that, Captain Jean carried Noelle and walked into the light.
"Is this child okay?"
As soon as they came out, Lisa approached.
"This child is not seriously injured, just exhausted."
"I'll take her to the room to rest."
"Okay, that's good. This child pushes herself too hard."
The knights of the Order knew Noelle well.
She was a strong, stubborn, and hardworking child.
But sometimes, her stubbornness led to hardships for herself.
And this time was no exception.
If Noelle had just informed them, they would have gone to help together.
Night fell, and Noelle woke up from her bed.
She let out a sigh and sat up. Then she quickly looked towards Gatomon, relieved to find Gatomon resting by her side.
With a furrowed brow, she recalled what had happened today.
Gatomon had evolved into Angewomon, saved her, and defeated the Hilichurls King. When she was about to descend the mountain, she encountered Captain Jean, who brought her back.
"Wait a minute, this room seems to be Captain Jean's room."
Noelle looked at the room's furnishings, struggling to get up from the bed. After all, this was Captain Jean's bed, and she couldn't lie on Captain Jean's bed.
"Hey, Noelle, what are you doing? Lie down quickly."
Captain Jean, holding the prepared food, entered the room and saw Noelle trying to get up.
She quickly placed the food on the table and approached Noelle.
"Captain Jean..."
Noelle saw Captain Jean coming and lowered her head in embarrassment.
"I understand the reason for what happened today."
"But... Noelle, I know you meant well, wanting to save people."
"However, you're just one person, and one person's power has its limits. Even if you want to save others, you should have told me so we could find a solution together."
Captain Jean said what needed to be said.
If they continued like this, Noelle might face even more serious situations in the future.
"Captain Jean, I understand."
Jean looked at Noelle and sighed.
It would be a long journey to educate Noelle.
In terms of strength, Noelle's strength surpassed many members of the Order.
But in terms of insight, Noelle was still too young.
"Come, eat something first, then tell me the details."
After Noelle finished eating, she told Captain Jean what had happened.
Listening to Noelle, Captain Jean looked at Gatomon, who was still sleeping.
"I didn't expect this little one's power to become so strong after evolution. It only took one hit to defeat the Hilichurls King."
Although Captain Jean could also defeat the Hilichurls King in an instant, a Digimon evolving into Angewomon could achieve the same.
And if it evolved a few more times, it would be even more formidable!
"Yes, that's right. But Gatomon fell into a deep sleep because of the forced evolution. I don't know when she will wake up."
Noelle looked worried.
"If you're worried about Gatomon, take good care of your own body first, then bring Gatomon and ask Owner. After all, the Digimon was obtained as a reward from Owner's shop. Perhaps Owner knows."
Noelle's eyes lit up. Yes, Owner must know!
"Yes, Captain Jean, thank you."
"Don't be so reckless in the future."
"Even if you don't consider yourself, think about your companion, Gatomon, you know?"
"Captain Jean, I understand."
Jean looked at Noelle and sighed.
There was still a long way to go in educating Noelle.
In terms of strength, Noelle's strength surpassed many members of the Order.
But in terms of insight, Noelle was still too young.
"Come, once you've recovered, let's eat something and then you can tell me the specifics."
After Noelle finished eating, she told Takarou everything that had happened.
After listening to Noelle, Takarou sighed.
This child was truly naive.
Noelle, hearing Takarou sigh, thought even Owner couldn't do anything. Naturally, she felt somewhat disappointed.
"Don't worry, Gatomon has consumed a lot of energy due to the forced evolution."
"Just like us humans, if we do too much, we easily feel tired."
"She just needs to rest well and she will recover."
"But for a Digimon, after a forced evolution, it usually takes ten days to half a month to recover to its original state."
"Of course, it could be faster, recovering in a few days. It also depends on the Digimon's own circumstances."
"Owner, is that true?"
Noelle felt happy. As long as Gatomon rested well, she would regain her previous vitality and Noelle would be satisfied.
"Of course it's true. Do you think I would lie to you?" Takarou smiled.
________________
"Do you want to come and read manga today?"
Since yesterday's incident, Captain Jean had instructed Noelle to rest properly and not do anything. If she didn't follow Jean's advice, she would surely get angry. With some free time on her hands and Gatomon still sleeping, Noelle decided to read manga.
"Yes, Owner, I'll read some manga."
Last time, Noelle read Digimon manga, so this time she chose to read Doraemon.
She paid for the book and found a seat near the bookshelf. She sat down and started enjoying the manga. It was her first time reading Doraemon.
When she saw Nobita being bullied by Giant, Noelle felt angry. However, she was relieved to see that Doraemon always came to Nobita's aid.
Still, Noelle couldn't help but think that Nobita was too weak. Without Doraemon's help, he wouldn't be able to do much.
As she read the manga and followed the storyline, Noelle couldn't help but reflect on herself. Although she was stronger than some people, she realized that there was something lacking in her character.
But whenever she faced difficulties, there were always members of the Knights of Favonius like Captain Jean, Kaeya, Lisa, and others to guide her. They were like a big family.
However, as she continued reading, Noelle noticed a change in the character of Giant, who usually bullied Nobita. When Nobita was in danger, Giant would step up and help him.
At that moment, Noelle's perception of Giant shifted. Despite his usual bullying, Giant showed bravery when Nobita needed help. Noelle understood that some things were easier to accomplish with the help of others, just as Captain Jean had told her.
In that moment, Noelle's mindset began to change slowly.
After finishing the manga, Noelle returned the book to its original place on the shelf and went to Takarou.
"Owner, I've finished reading the manga."
[Customer Noelle has finished reading Doraemon and obtained a reward: Effortless Fishing Rod.]
Hearing the system's voice, Takarou smiled slightly. "You've obtained the reward: Effortless Fishing Rod."
"It's a fishing rod that allows you to effortlessly catch heavy objects."
"With this fishing rod, you can easily catch even the heaviest things."
Noelle's eyes brightened upon hearing Takarou's explanation. The fishing rod was a great item! She often helped people in Mondstadt carry heavy objects, and with this fishing rod, helping others would become much easier.
"Thank you, Owner," Noelle expressed her gratitude as she did before.
"Don't mention it. Whatever rewards you receive, it's all thanks to your luck," Takarou replied with a smile.
"No, if it weren't for Owner's manga shop, I wouldn't have Gatomon. Yesterday, Gatomon saved me, so no matter what, I have to thank you."
"Therefore, if there's anything you need me to do, just let me know."
Seeing Noelle's earnest gaze, Takarou chuckled.
"You're too serious, you know. Since you want to thank me, why don't you make me a cup of coffee?"
There was a coffee machine in the shop, and as a maid, it was an easy task for Noelle.
"Of course, Owner." Takarou pointed out the location, and Noelle went to the back to prepare the coffee.
"Owner, are there no other customers in the shop?"
Shortly after Noelle entered, Lisa arrived at the New Century Manga Shop.
"Oh, it's Lisa. Welcome to the New Century Manga Shop," Takarou greeted her.
"Owner, we're familiar with each other. There's no need to be so polite," Lisa replied with a smile.
"By the way, Owner, last time Jean obtained a smartphone from you. I also did some research, but there are still many things I don't understand about smartphones with our current technology. Would you have time to explain it to me in detail?"
"Also, I heard that you came from another world. I wonder, compared to our world, which one is better?"
Takarou stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then replied, "In our world, smartphones are essential for daily life. They can even be used for video calls. For example, if someone is in Mondstadt and another person is in Liyue, with a video call, they can see each other's faces."
"Oh? Isn't that similar to a photo machine?" Lisa asked.
Takarou shook his head with a smile. A photo machine couldn't compare to a smartphone. A photo machine could only take pictures, but a smartphone had many more functions.
"It's different. With video calls, you can see what the other person is doing as long as they allow you to see. But with a photo machine, you can only take pictures."
"Actually, the smartphone that Jean obtained can also be used as a photo machine, but it has many more functions than a regular one."
Lisa nodded. When she received the smartphone, she followed Jean's instructions and explored its features one by one.
"So, Owner, if ordinary people want to use a smartphone, what should they do?"
"Actually, smartphones are not complicated. The complicated part is that ordinary people don't have the Vision to charge the smartphones. At that time, electricity is needed. For example, Slimes have electricity in their bodies, but it's not stable. If you want ordinary people to use smartphones, the first step is to provide electricity to Mondstadt. In our world, there is no Vision or gods. Even if there are gods, they only exist in legends. Once you have electricity, you need to build signal towers."
"And these signal towers are for providing phone signals."
"If you want both Liyue and Mondstadt to use smartphones, you need to build three to five signal towers. Only then will there be signals, and with signals, you can use smartphones."
Mondstadt has a relatively flat terrain, but Liyue has many mountains. One or two signal towers won't be enough. Electricity alone would be impressive if Mondstadt could build a power plant. Compared to countries like Fontaine, Mondstadt was relatively less developed.
"Owner, if we want to acquire this knowledge you just mentioned, do we need to continue reading manga?"
Although Lisa didn't fully understand what Takarou said, she understood that these things might be obtained from manga.
"Naturally, anyone who reads manga has a chance to acquire what's in the manga."
"So, if I want to read manga and obtain this knowledge, I should read the same book that Jean read last time, Detective Conan?"
"Exactly."
"Owner, here's your coffee."
"Oh, Lisa, you're here too?"
____________________
Noelle came out from behind and found Lisa there.
"Noelle, if you don't rest properly, why did you come to the boss's place?"
"I came to ask about Gatomon."
"And also to thank Owner for the help."
"I see. I came here to ask some questions too."
"Noelle, why don't you pour a cup of coffee for Lisa as well?"
"Sure, Lisa, please wait a moment."
"Okay."
"In that case, Owner, I'll read Detective Conan manga."
Lisa paid 10,000 Mora and went to the bookshelf to pick up the Detective Conan manga.
A while later, Noelle poured a cup of coffee for Lisa.
Although Lisa usually conducted research, the true alchemist in Mondstadt was Albedo. If Albedo returned from Dragonspine and conducted research with Lisa, they would probably be able to easily explore things related to electricity.
After pouring the coffee, Noelle didn't leave. Instead, she stood there and waited.
"Now that there's nothing to do, why don't you find a seat?" Takarou smiled as he saw Noelle still standing in place.
"Okay."
After a while, Lisa finally finished reading the manga.
[Customer Lisa, after finishing Detective Conan, receives a reward: Off-Road Motorcycle.]
[Considering that this world is Teyvat, the Off-Road Motorcycle uses Anemo power to drive!]
"Oh, it's a motorcycle?"
This motorcycle was not an ordinary off-road motorcycle. It was the new generation motorcycle used by Hattori Heiji and made an appearance in the Conan TV series episode "The Mansion Surrounded by Zombies." In that episode, Heiji had planned to confess to Kazuha while riding this motorcycle, but unexpected events occurred, and it didn't happen.
Hattori Heiji's motorcycle was undoubtedly impressive and much better than an ordinary motorcycle.
"You've obtained an Off-Road Motorcycle that can be driven using the Anemo power," the system explained.
"A motorcycle?"
"Owner, is the motorcycle you mentioned a vehicle with two wheels that people sit on and ride together?" Lisa asked.
"That's right."
"However, this motorcycle is not easy to drive within Mondstadt."
There were too many stairs in Mondstadt. Although this motorcycle was designed for off-road use, if it was used every day within Mondstadt, no matter how good the vehicle was, it wouldn't withstand the wear and tear.
"Let me put the motorcycle outside."
Takarou left the front desk and walked towards the entrance.
Noelle followed curiously. Since she hadn't read Detective Conan, she didn't know much about motorcycles.
The three of them arrived at the entrance, and Takarou placed the off-road motorcycle outside.
The front part of the motorcycle was green, while the rest was black and green.
Lisa's eyes brightened as she saw the motorcycle. It was another item worth studying!
"Lisa, let me tell you how to ride this motorcycle."
Takarou asked Lisa to straddle the motorcycle and began guiding her step by step.
Although Lisa had the title of witch, this was the first time she had been in such close proximity to a man. The masculine aura emanating from Takarou made her face blush.
Although she liked to tease others, she was usually in control. But this time, Takarou had the upper hand.
"Lisa, did you understand?" After explaining everything to Lisa, Takarou straightened up and noticed Lisa's flushed cheeks, which caught him off guard.
"Ah... Owner, I..."
Lisa's face grew even redder. She had been too focused on Takarou, and as a result, she hadn't fully paid attention to the instructions.
This made her feel extremely embarrassed.
"Well then, let me personally demonstrate." Takarou asked Lisa to step down and sat on the motorcycle himself, starting it directly.
After starting the engine, he kept it steady on the ground and looked at Lisa. 'Now what?'
"Owner, I understand most of it. Let me try." Lisa replied.
"Alright."
Following Takarou's instructions, Lisa started step by step.
Lisa was already intelligent, and with Takarou's instructions repeated twice, she quickly started the motorcycle.
"It's moving, it's really moving!"
When Lisa saw the motorcycle move, she felt extremely excited. It was moving in her hands.
"Owner, would you like to join me for a ride outside Mondstadt?"
Lisa looked at Takarou and invited him.
"I'll pass, but you can invite Noelle to go outside Mondstadt."
Takarou shook his head. He had been too close to Lisa just now, and it had made her blush. If he sat behind Lisa, so close to her, she might lose focus and it could easily lead to an accident.
Seeing that Takarou declined, Lisa invited Noelle instead.
"Noelle, come on. Let your sister take you outside for a spin."
Noelle was also very curious. "Owner, I'll leave Gatomon here and bring her back when I return."
"Sure, you can go."
Both Lisa and Noelle had the Vision, so even if they had an accident, it wouldn't harm them.
Noelle carefully sat on the pillion seat, and Lisa started the motorcycle. Amidst Noelle's exclamations, they rode out of Mondstadt.
"Lawrence, did you see that? What were Lisa and Noelle riding? How did they suddenly leave Mondstadt in an instant?"
Two guards at the entrance of Mondstadt, one of them named Swann, spoke to Lawrence.
"I'm not sure either. It might be one of Lisa's new experiments."
"By the way, did you go to the new century manga shop in Mondstadt recently?"
"I went there, but every time I try to enter, I can't. What about you?"
"Same here. Every time I try to enter and take a look, I can't get in."
"But Jean and the others can enter."
"So I guess only people with the Vision can enter that manga shop."
"Only people with the Vision can enter? It's a pity we don't have the Vision. Otherwise, I would insist on going in and taking a look."
"Well, we don't have a chance to obtain the Vision."
Swann and Lawrence shook their heads, feeling a bit regretful.
Outside Mondstadt, Lisa rode the off-road motorcycle at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour.
It didn't take long for them to reach Windrise in Mondstadt.
When the motorcycle stopped, Noelle gasped for breath.
"Lisa, you were driving too fast."
Lisa smiled sheepishly, "This motorcycle is much faster than flying."
"So I couldn't resist. But don't you find it exhilarating to ride this fast, Noelle?"
