Noelle!

Chapter 30

The girl who appeared behind Paimon possessed a short stature and petite build. She had short, neck-length pale lavender hair with a straight fringe and lopsided locks of hair framing her face. A section of hair was braided over her bangs and pinned down at the right side of her face with a gold shield clip. Her eyes were olive green.

She wore a typical maid ensemble except for a priestess hat, a cravat, and many fuchsia roses. Her fuchsia dress had two bows, one at her hip and the other on her rear, the latter of which her Geo Vision was sitting on top of. Gilded white armor plating adorned her chest, and she wore a pauldron upon her left shoulder. She also wore black tights beneath her armored boots.

"Boss Jason, Noelle is here. Did you call for my help?" The girl named Noelle caressed her chest with one hand and bowed slightly in etiquette.

Paimon hugged Jason's neck with her pair of shorthands and only dared to turn back after hearing the voice.

She found that the visitor was not a ghost but a rather cute girl. She felt relieved after seeing this.

"Noelle?"

Paimon read the name that had impressed her before, and with hands on her hips, she reprimanded, "Can you not sneak behind me so quietly, it's scary, okay?"

"Ah, I'm so sorry for frightening you..." Noelle immediately apologized.

Then, she took out a small notebook from the front pocket of the maid's uniform and started writing.

[The next time you appear, you have to pay attention to the timing and not sneak behind to avoid scaring the people.]

"?"

Paimon was confused after seeing her behavior.

Does this girl need to record this kind of stuff? Isn't it common sense? Could it be that this girl has an awful memory?

"Do you have a bad memory?" Paimon couldn't stop herself from asking.

Noelle had finished writing and put away her notebook, habitually clasped her hands in front of her lower abdomen, and stood upright.

Then, she replied, "No matter how good my memory is, it is always more reassuring to write it down. In this way, I can carefully study these notes before going to bed."

Noelle wished to incorporate these precautions into her words and deeds. She constantly notes what constitutes knightly speech, knightly conduct, and knightly customs.

After she finished talking, Jason asked, "Noelle, are you free?"

"Well, things that senior Kaeya asked have not been completed, but I also heard you need my help here, so..." Noelle didn't know how to answer.

Jason nodded and asked, "Then Noelle, please help us prepare adventure equipment for five people."

"Boss Jason, where is the destination?" Noelle asked for more information.

"Stormbearer Mountains!" Jason replied and gave her a bag of mora.

"Okay, leave this matter to me!" Noelle patted her chest with one hand and promised.

After taking the bag of mora, she ran to the market.

Lumine was still a little stunned, "Jason, who is Noelle?"

"A maid who faithfully serves the Knights of Favonius. Noelle dreams of officially joining their ranks someday like Amber. Although they all claim to be members of the knights, they have not been officially incorporated." Jason replied after thinking for a while.

"They probably won't until they reach adulthood..." Jason further added.

Then, he gave a brief introduction, "In short, she's a very helpful person. If you encounter any difficulties, shout out her name in the city, and she will appear in front of you soon."

"Wow! She's amazing!"

Paimon exclaimed, "Noelle must have mastered some summoning magic!"

"Uh-huh!" Lumine was also shocked to hear this.

Noelle can show up by just calling out her name. Does that mean she can teleport?

"However, be careful. Noelle can become a bit too enthusiastic..." Jason also gave a little warning.

"What do you mean?" Lumine asked with her head tilted, looking cute.

"You'll know about it later. Let's go back to the restaurant first!" Jason didn't give her the answer and led them back to the restaurant.

...

Inside Good Hunter restaurant,

Barbara rubbed her sleepy eyes and laid down blankly on the bed. She woke up not long ago.

After watching her surrounding for a moment, her brain froze.

After a while, her memories from before falling asleep emerged like a tide.

"What!?" A shy look appeared on her lovely face.

"I over slept!"

"Did brother Jason carry me to the bed while I was asleep?" Barbara hugged the quilt, imagining herself being carried to the bed.

Her heart was beating very fast thinking about it.

As soon as the quilt was pulled, she covered herself and laid down on the bed.

"Hmmm~" A shy voice came from inside.

Barbara ravaged the quilt from the inside into various shapes.

And stopped after a while, then sat up again to breathe. Barbara felt a bit suffocated inside.

She occasionally glanced at the pillow Jason was lying on not long ago and couldn't help gulping silently.

"Brother Jason should not be here, right?" She pricked up her ears with a guilty expression trying to find another voice in the room.

But it was quiet in the attic. She didn't find anyone in the room except her.

Because of the specially customized high-grade wood, the sound insulation in the room was excellent.

Therefore, the voices inside and outside the restaurant were not heard.

Seeing this, Barbara made up her mind and picked up the pillow in her arms and buried her head into it.

"Brother Jason's smell..." Barbara sniffed, trying to immerse herself in Jason's scent.

Then, Barbara remembered her identity as a priestess and felt a sense of immorality in doing this kind of thing.

"Barbatos, the Anemo Archon, please forgive Barbara for such unsightly behavior. I'm just checking the pillow to see if it's dirty..."

"If there is any bad smell left, it will bring shame to the church..." Barbara crookedly prayed in her heart.

Squeak~

It seems that her prayer was heard by the Anemo God.

At this moment, the bedroom door was suddenly opened.

And Jason and Barbara's eyes met each other.

"..." Both of them stared at each other in silence.

"What!?" Barbara's face gradually turned red in embarrassment. She shouted out and subconsciously picked up the pillow and threw it in Jason's direction.

Bang!

Jason quickly caught the pillow.

But, he didn't overthink the scene he had witnessed before and asked, "Barbara, aren't you getting enough sleep yet?"

He thought it was normal for a girl to sleep while holding a pillow or something. He never thought that Barbara was doing something embarrassing.

"I, I'm leaving..." Barbara quickly got up, put on her shoes, picked up her Vision and pouch, and hurried out. She was too embarrassed to stay here.
