It's so comfortable

"Lumine, quickly take Paimon away from this depressing place. Everyone here is so sarcastic. Sniff, sniff."

Little Paimon sobbed in Lumine's arms, feeling so wronged. When had she ever experienced such mistreatment?

"Paimon..."

Seeing Paimon cry so sadly, Lumine felt a pang of sympathy.

Paimon was her good companion, and Jams was a close friend. Lumine was caught in the middle of these two, feeling quite conflicted.

But Lumine couldn't blame Sucrose and Venti either, so she could only furrow her brows and bite her lip, looking pitiful and helpless.

"Let me try. I have some experience in comforting girls."

Saying that, Sucrose directly scooped up the crying Paimon and held her in his arms, patting her head and rubbing her belly like petting a cat.

"Mmm!"

Paimon's crying instantly stopped, her tearful little face filled with surprise. She stared at Sucrose, who held her in his arms for "comfort," with her starry eyes.

This... this man is so impolite! Where are his paws!

No.

"Fisher... How dare you touch me so casually! Did you get my permission!? Mmm... feels so good~"

Sucrose scratched Paimon's chin, and her angry expression instantly turned obedient. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, showing a look of enjoyment.

"Sob, you think you can win my forgiveness with this? I won't forget what you said about my drawings... Gurgle, gurgle, so comfortable, hehe..."

Sucrose's fingertips seemed to possess magic. Wherever they touched, Paimon couldn't feel the slightest disgust. On the contrary, she wished Sucrose would be a bit more outrageous.

"I'll treat you both to a big meal as an apology and a welcome to you and Lumine. How about that?"

Sucrose wiped away the tears from Paimon's face, speaking in a gentle tone.

"A big meal!?"

Paimon's eyes instantly lit up.

If you mention food, I'm all ears!

Her attitude toward Sucrose made a complete 180-degree turn, and she even took the initiative to rub against the palm of Sucrose's hand. "As expected of the man Lumine values, Paimon forgives you!"

"This is too real, hahaha."

Noelle and Barbara couldn't help but laugh at Paimon's reaction.

"So embarrassing..."

Lumine covered her face with her hand and stomped her foot in embarrassment.

Paimon, who just now seemed to be on the verge of death, was now sticking to Sucrose and acting spoiled.

Having such an unrestrained partner by her side was truly embarrassing.

"I'll join too."

The wandering bard, Venti, who never did any real work, coughed lightly, indicating that he would definitely be joining this feast. No amount of reason could stop him!

"Lumine, congratulations! You've already become part of the group so quickly."

Amber gently patted Lumine's shoulder and smiled, "Sucrose has a wide network in Mondstadt. With his help, we'll definitely find your brother faster. Of course, I'll do my best to help too!"

"Thank you, Amber."

Lumine's golden eyes were filled with gratitude.

"You're welcome. As a member of the Knights of Favonius, it's our duty to lend a helping hand to those in need."

Amber straightened her posture, her eyes shining brightly. "That's the duty of a knight!"

"..."

Maid Noelle couldn't help but envy Amber's words. Her light green eyes were filled with envy.

She also wanted to be like Amber, openly revealing her identity as a knight to others.

"Ah, I don't know if I can pass the knight selection next time..." Noelle sighed silently in her heart, and her smile became somewhat forced.

"Noelle."

Sucrose saw through Noelle's thoughts with just one glance. He smiled and spoke with warmth and determination, "I've told you before, you will become a knight. Believe in me, and believe in yourself."

"Sucrose..."

Noelle saw compassion, trust, and encouragement in Jams' black gem-like eyes. These emotions flowed into her heart like warm currents, dispelling the darkness and loneliness within.

"Thank you. It's really nice to have you..."

"Mmm..."

Klee's elf-like ears trembled slightly as she suddenly looked up at the blushing Noelle, puffing her cheeks without a word.

Ah, Noelle, you're such an attractive girl. I never expected you to get in the way of my caring for Brother Jams.

But Jams didn't pay attention to Klee's reaction. Instead, he looked at Lumine and Amber, curious. "By the way, why are you two together?"

"If I remember correctly, Amber should be on a mission to Dragonspine these days."

"You actually know about my mission assignment!?"

Amber's lovely face showed surprise. "Although my trip to Dragonspine isn't top secret, it shouldn't be disclosed to outsiders. How did you know, Jams?"

She did go to Dragonspine with Eula yesterday, but few people knew about it, and it definitely shouldn't have reached Jams' ears!

Could there be a spy within the Knights of Favonius?

"Heh."

Jams took out a small wooden comb from his pocket and casually said while tidying his hair, "The mission assignments of the Knights of Favonius aren't disclosed to outsiders, but am I an outsider? Ask Jean honestly, am I an outsider?"

"Ugh, why can't you speak normally? Why suddenly show off, hm~"

Amber looked at Jams, who was tidying his hair in the sunlight, stamped her foot, and blushed.

Some girls are like that. When you speak to them earnestly, they think you're boring and pretentious.

But when you show off and flirt in front of them, they may say they hate it, but deep down, they're actually happy.

But Jams wasn't pretending; he was genuinely flirtatious!

His youthful and handsome appearance was enough to make girls' hearts flutter, and his unfathomable strength gave them a sense of security.

So, Jams not only possessed physical beauty but also possessed a kind of irresistible charm! Therefore, it was normal for him to be a little flirtatious.

In addition to Jams' "Charm" attribute, which was off the charts, it only took a moment to make a blushing and heart-throbbing beauty like Amber.

"Jean wouldn't casually reveal the Knights of Favonius' information. It must have been Klee who told you!"

Amber glared at Klee, who was hiding behind Jams, and said with dissatisfaction, "The mission in Dragonspine is almost complete, and Captain Eula stayed behind for the finishing touches. I was assigned to come back and report."

Saying that, she embraced Lumine's fragrant shoulder and smiled brightly. "On the way back, I ran into Lumine and little Paimon, so I decided to bring them to Mondstadt to find their brother!"

"I see."

Jams pinched his chin and recalled a familiar game plot in his mind.

The game also started with Amber bringing Lumine to Mondstadt and then resisting the Anemo Archon with the Knights of Favonius...

Now, Amber was still playing the role of a guide, but Lumine was intercepted by Jams before entering the city.

"By the way, Lumine and Paimon probably haven't found a place to stay yet, right?" Jams suddenly asked.

"Well... not yet."

Lumine nodded. She hadn't entered the city, so how could she have found a place to stay?

"Oh dear, that's so unfortunate. How about coming to my place?"

Jams pushed Amber aside and naturally put his arm around Amber and Lumine's fragrant shoulders, smiling warmly. "My place is quite spacious, and I often help beautiful ladies nearby. If you don't mind, you can come to my place..."
