Chapter 370 Noelle
Chapter 370 Noelle
The next day, Mu Feng woke up very early, just as dawn was breaking.
This is not because he doesn't have the habit of sleeping in late; on the contrary, he thinks about sleeping all the time except when he's trying to sleep.
But as for why he woke up unusually early, you'd have to ask the novice pastor who's currently sleeping soundly on top of him.
Barbara was fast asleep. She didn't wake up even after being gently nudged twice. She just turned over and pulled away half of the blanket.
Mu Feng sighed, rubbing his forehead. This is the seventh time this month.
By the way, today is March 9th in the Teyvat calendar.
So, regarding what I said last time about not being allowed to sneak into his room in the middle of the night, this girl listened to nine out of ten times, but not a single one.
To be fair, the little nun is quite principled; at least she goes on a two-day weekend without fail... what a load of rubbish.
If it weren't for his mother Frey's vacation, he reasonably suspected that the little girl could have moved her entire room over to sleep there.
Mu Feng reached out and gently pinched Barbara's soft cheeks. Lately, this girl has been a little too clingy.
The only thing missing from providing 24/7 uninterrupted care is a transfer document from the Church of the West to the Knights of Favonius.
Of course, that kind of thing probably wouldn't pass.
According to unreliable sources, there was a letter from a chamber of commerce in Fontainebleau that claimed to have accidentally stumbled upon Barbara practicing singing in a church and that they intended to groom the young girl to become a future superstar.
What? You're asking why the letter ultimately disappeared without a trace?
Asking him won't help. If you have any opinions, I suggest you talk to the shredder in Simon's office.
Unable to get Barbara out of bed, Mu Feng got up first, pulled the blanket up for the little girl who was taking up the single bed, then grabbed his sword and quietly left the room.
Qin sat at the table as usual, using a newspaper to cover her romance novel while enjoying her coffee.
At the beginning of the month: What novel is so exciting that you need to drink five cups of coffee to finish it before you can go to sleep? She's determined to test the waters today.
End of month: Can I drink the coffee after burning the coffee box and soaking it in water?
"Sis, at this rate of consumption, even with my share, your coffee ration won't last until the end of the month."
Mu Feng sat down next to Qin and kindly offered a reminder.
However, Qin, who was engrossed in the novel, obviously had no time to worry about her precarious coffee allowance. She just gave a couple of perfunctory replies and then buried herself back in the book.
She casually picked up the butter spread on the bread, dipped it in coffee, and without batting an eye, took small bites and ate it all up.
Mu Feng felt a wave of embarrassment. He pushed the plate of toast to a spot where Qin could easily reach it and then had the servant remove the butter.
With the wind god Barbatos above, this family would fall apart without him.
Qin was still reading her novel, but Mu Feng was in a hurry today, so he grabbed two slices of bread from the table and rushed out the door.
Grand Master Falga intends to personally teach him swordsmanship.
Since it was still early, the streets were deserted.
The inhabitants of Mondstadt have never had the habit of waking up early, except for the Knights of Favonius, and only...
"Ah! Good morning, senior. Would you like some pancakes?"
Sure enough, as they approached the Knights' training ground, the little maid Noelle, who always spawns nearby, appeared right on time.
The silver-haired girl wore light rose-colored armor, adorned with rose decorations, and held a standard white iron greatsword in her hand.
The greatsword, which even ordinary Favonius Knights would find difficult to wield skillfully, seemed like a toy in the girl's hands, a stark contrast to the gentle and shy smile in her large, emerald-green eyes.
Of course, the contrast is even more striking in the training ground behind the little maid, which is now almost a complete mess.
The fallen wooden stakes lay scattered about, with several broken swords stuck in them, as if they had just been swept away by a tornado.
Although he was already somewhat used to it, Mu Feng still managed to push the limits of his understanding every time.
Mu Feng looked at the girl's slender arms with suspicion. Even though she was wearing light armor, it looked far removed from a heavy sword.
The little girl looks so gentle and soft, how did she manage to wield that white iron sword that was much taller than her?
This was the question that arose in his mind the first time he met Noelle.
Unfortunately, to this day, there is still no answer.
Seemingly noticing Mu Feng's gaze, Noelle's fair face flushed red, and she quietly moved to a position that blocked Mu Feng's view.
Ugh... Senior... that's a bit rude...
She'll clean it up after training.
Mu Feng smiled helplessly. Well, this is going to be a disaster. When the training ground manager, Miss Knight, comes back and sees this, the sky will fall.
During his previous training, the only issue was that his one-handed sword had a high wear rate, but even that was enough to make his opponent feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
The training expenses are now more than double what they were before, and he can already imagine what the young lady is like now...
"Hmm... Senior Knight just went out, said he was going to West Wind Cathedral to get some heart medicine or something..."
Noelle carefully spread whipped cream on the baked pancakes, drizzled maple syrup on top, and served them to Mu Feng.
Incidentally, I swapped the hard, dry bread in his hand with mine.
"Here you go, senior. Eat your breakfast while it's hot."
Well, it seems things are worse than he thought.
As Mu Feng picked up a muffin with his fork, he silently mourned for the unfortunate knight for three seconds.
If Wagner's blacksmith shop ever makes enough money to shut down completely, then those two will definitely deserve some credit.
The little girl's birthday is coming up soon, so I'll take this opportunity to find someone to forge a decent greatsword as a gift.
The pancakes were baked to perfection, served with whipped cream and fruit sauce, so soft and fluffy it felt like a tiny piece plucked from a cloud.
Or it should be called cloud pancakes.
Noel stood obediently to the side, her large, light green eyes blinking like a cuddly little ragdoll cat.
I'm glad you like it, senior.
"If that's not enough, give me mine too..."
However, before the girl could finish speaking, her stomach protested rather uncooperatively.
Immediately, Noelle's face turned bright red, her gaze began to wander, and she murmured shyly, burying her head in embarrassment.
Oh no... maid etiquette...
Mu Feng chuckled and ruffled her silver hair. The little maid was good in every way, except that she was a little too kind.
What he worried about was that someone with ill intentions would take advantage of this and turn her willingness to grant his requests into a weapon to harm him.
He can't always conveniently show up to teach those rude guys a lesson, like when they first met.
In particular, she so desperately wanted to join the Knights.
Looking at the smiling, soft-spoken girl in front of him, Mu Feng gently flicked her forehead.
You need to be more careful, silly girl.
Even an idiot like Amber wouldn't act like you.
Noelle covered her forehead with a pitiful expression, and Mu Feng couldn't bear it, so he bent down and gently blew on it for her.
On the other side, a girl is practicing Wind Wings:
"Achoo! Whoa, is it really that cold?"
