Teyvat: I'm just a girl selling comics, please respect yourself

Chapter 32: Captain Qin staying up late to "work"!
"Is this really possible? If you are sick, the Knights will only become more chaotic."

Amber didn't believe in the words "just get through this period". Ever since the Grand Commander left, Qin had been working desperately every day in order to shut up certain people. It was normal for her to rest at two or three in the morning.

It hasn't been such a long time and she's already so haggard. How can she continue like this?

Facing Amber's concern, Qin avoided her gaze and said, "Well, I know. I must go to bed early today!"

Amber looked straight at the acting leader. For some reason, she always felt that the other party's answer was a little guilty, as if he was trying to hide something.

Amber asked softly, "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you? Do I look like someone who doesn't keep his word? I must go to bed on time today!"

Qin Qiao's face turned serious and her expression became solemn. The majesty of the acting team leader returned, but she didn't expect that her movements were too intense when she spoke and her elbow accidentally scraped the corner of the document.

This caused a stack of books to topple over, and a comic book hidden in the files fell out.

"!!!"

Amber was stunned, while Jean's face turned red.

Damn it, all the secrets were exposed. It was such a socially mortal scene that made Qin wish she could find a hole to crawl into right there and then. Who could have imagined that the extremely serious captain would stay up late to read comics.

Amber was stunned. She thought the other party had stayed up late to handle official business last night.

The result turned out to be like this.

"So you stayed up late to watch it."

"Shh I'm just... I'm just stressed out"

Qin quickly interrupted Amber and signaled her not to continue. If the news of her staying up late reading comics got out, all the dignity she had accumulated in the past would be gone.

"Yeah, don't worry, I won't tell anyone, because I was watching it when I had nothing to do."

To prove that she was not lying, Amber nodded repeatedly and took the comic book out of her pocket.

Although it is a Liyue-style story, it does not affect everyone's love for it after this farce.

The two can be considered partners on the same front.

After chatting for a while, Amber thought of Walnut's words and said with emotion: "It would be great if the owner of the comic book store could come to Mondstadt. This way, not only can the pressure on the Knights be relieved, but they can also read new comics anytime and anywhere."

"Hmm? What's the connection between the comic book store owner and the Knights?"

"It's like this, my new friend Walnut said"

Seeing Qin's confused look, she repeated what she said in full.

"A pedantic aristocracy"

"The Knights cannot reuse newcomers"

"Excessive freedom can only bring chaos, order is the only freedom."

Qin repeated Su Han's points with an extremely solemn expression. If these words were spread outside, they would undoubtedly arouse the anger of the citizens of Mond.

But to her ears, it was like a thunderclap. Others might not know it, but as the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius, no one knew Mondstadt's current situation better than Jean.

Excessive freedom of speech and belief has led to the Winter Kingdom's Fatui occupying the West Wind Cathedral, which is fine.

But they even went further and wanted to take control of Mondstadt's city defenses. Their reason was the inaction of the Knights of Favonius when the dragon disaster struck. If it weren't for Jyn's very tough attitude and the Knights' unremitting efforts.

I'm afraid many people will be incited! As for the pedantry, Qin hated it even more.

In order to fight for power, some elders in the Knights Temperance spread the rumor that Amber's grandfather had defected shortly after he left, so that the reconnaissance knight team trained by that gentleman was almost destroyed.

Fortunately, Amber stepped forward and avoided this outcome.

"Captain Qin, Captain Qin, are you angry? But don't mind it. Hu Tao said that we don't need to take the other party's words seriously if they were drunk."

Looking at the acting team leader whose expression became increasingly ugly.

Amber hurriedly explained. She didn't expect these words to have such a great impact. If she had known, she would not have said it.

After Qin came to her senses, she quickly shook her head: "No, the comic book shop owner is right. He has pointed out all the current shortcomings of Mondstadt."

"What do you mean? We in Mond really have so many crises."

Amber's face was full of disbelief. She was so young and had never experienced the test of human nature. Naturally, she didn't know what ugly faces humans would reveal in their fight for power.

"Yes, I am derelict in my duty now that we are facing internal and external troubles and I can't do anything."

Thinking of the mess in the city, Qin couldn't help but laugh at herself. In fact, she also wanted to reform, but she knew what the consequences of doing so would be.

Now has come to the point where a single move can affect the entire body, and Mond cannot afford such a shock.

Keeping calm is the only thing we can do right now.

Looking at the sad-looking Qin, Amber felt distressed for some reason. Then her eyes turned and she said excitedly, "Oh, right! Captain Qin, what do you think about me following Hu Tao to Liyue? Since the shop owner can see our problem at a glance, can we ask him for advice?"
Even if it doesn’t solve the problem, it’s good to give some opinions.”

“It’s not a good idea to ask an outsider for advice.”

Qin frowned and was extremely resistant inside, mainly because these matters were Mond's political affairs, and it would be very risky to let an outsider interfere.

"I'm just asking. If the other party can't come up with any good solutions, we won't lose anything. Recently, due to the dragon disaster, merchants in the city dare not go out. The Knights are short of medicine. How about I go there to restock?"

Looking at Amber's determined expression, Qin's heart was shaken.

In today's situation with internal and external troubles, perhaps it is not too much to ask, besides, the other party is just a businessman.

"That's fine, but it's a bit dangerous for you to go alone. I'll let Kaia and Eula accompany you. By the way, Amber, you have to remember. You only have five days. You must return to Mondstadt when the time is up."

The situation is urgent, even if we need to purchase medicines, we cannot delay too long. If the three powerful knights go out, Mondstadt will be short of manpower.

Upon hearing this, Amber immediately performed a knight's salute.

"Scout Knight promises to complete the order!"

But after the business was over, the girl lowered her voice again and said with a smile: "Captain Qin, I plan to ask Mr. Su Han to give you an autograph this time. Do you want one? Hu Tao has a good relationship with him, so it will definitely work."

"Is this true?"

Qin originally wanted to say no, but the autographed comics were so tempting that she couldn't resist.

Amber nodded vigorously, then began to explain.

"Yes, Mr. Su Han was once a guest of the Walnut family, that is, a hired employee. He was a very outstanding one, and later he opened a comic book store. With this relationship, it should be no problem to ask for an autograph."

"Then I'll leave it to you. By the way, tell Kaia to be more flexible."

Since you are going to ask for help, how can you go empty-handed? There will definitely be a price to pay.

　There will be another update in the evening. I love you guys.
