Cabin for two with Maid of Mond

Ying Ji also thoughtfully suggested... If Noelle wants to do other things, Ying Ji can go to another room and wait.

Even Hotaruhime could tell that Noelle had exuded an aura of "I really want to help Captain Qin, I really want to help, I really want to help" from the moment he entered the leader's office.

Of course, Qin and Noelle refused. Noelle has a sense of responsibility to protect Ying Ji, and Qin never said that Noelle should stay and help her.

But Ying Ji expressed her interest in the library of the Knights Order again, and found a suitable reason for both of them.

When Ying Ji went to the library, an intensive decisive battle over the documents began in the head's office.

As the current acting head, whether it is a knight or another maid, of course, Qin will not have no other secretary candidates.

Noelle, however, was different.

This is not because Noelle is so good at document processing. Although secretarial work is indeed a part of her "universal", it is not as high as cooking and housework, it is just ordinary.

Noelle's specialness lies in her "authority to know" about various information.

Standing in Qin's position, not everyone can participate in the materials she reads, the documents she signs, and the topics she discusses.

Especially after Wendy was abducted by Todt to reveal her identity, the returning Fengshen quietly entered the decision-making level of Mond, and Qin had to pay more attention to the person she was talking about when talking about every piece of intelligence information.

As for Noelle, on the surface she is still just a maid, but she is not only one of the few who know about the return of Fengshen, but also has the responsibility to maintain a good relationship with the owner of the cabin on behalf of the Knights.

Previously, Noelle returned to the city from the hut outside the city every night. While reporting to Qin, she also accompanied Qin on the night shift as a secretary. Many of the information mentioned were current secrets, which were far beyond the comparison of ordinary knights and maids.

Qin didn't intend to develop Noelle's secretary ability in particular, but it naturally developed like this.And Noelle, this relatively ordinary "one of the omnipotent", gradually has a tendency to move towards a high standard.

Including the musical instrument that she has recently studied seriously, the universal maid has never stopped making herself more versatile.

Noelle was also very happy to be able to help the admired Captain Qin with the ability to hone and grow.

However, when she was satisfied, she recalled the contents of the documents she had just handled and classified, and her face was slightly clouded.

When tidying up the table, Noelle hesitated for a moment, then looked at Qin and spoke.

"Captain Qin... In fact, most of these things don't need to be seen by you personally, do you?"

Noelle knew that many of the documents dealt with just now were matters of administration and people's livelihood, and most of them were not considered major matters.

For example, do you really need Qin to make notes and review documents such as the repair progress of two or three gutter covers in the corner of the city?

Noelle clasped her hands in front of her with earnest eyes.

"Mr. Toth also told me, Captain Qin, you are too tired, you really don't need to be so reluctant... Please take care of yourself, don't put too much burden on yourself just to help others."

Hearing this, Qin was stunned for a while.

Then he revealed an awkward smile that he didn't know what to do...

...Looking at the omnipotent maid in front of her who is most famous for her eagerness to help others.

Volume 41, Chapter [-], Willfulness Before Maturity

Qin didn't know the specific circumstances under which Todt brought up that conversation with Noelle.

Jean has good reason to suspect...

Toth's real meaning at the time may also be referring to Noelle himself.

But Qin also understands that even if Thoth really meant to refer to Noelle at the same time, the main point is still Qin, which should be correct.

Qin thought for a while, then smiled and said, "So Toth once commented on me like that?"

"Ah, Captain Qin, please don't misunderstand!" Noelle waved his hands in a panic, and said anxiously: "Mr. Toth won't speak ill of you behind your back, he even said the opinion just now, if you have a chance, let me help you." By the way, Mr. Toth has no malice at all!"

If Toth himself hadn't agreed in advance, Noelle, who had kept the oath of "keeping his mouth shut", would never have talked about this matter.

Qin comforted: "I understand, I understand, this is the worry of a friend, I have no reason to interpret it as malicious slander. I just feel a little emotional... Unexpectedly, even living here for a short time, not recently So Toth, who often stays in the city, thinks that I take care of too many things..."

"Yes, I remember, it was the rest time when Lord Fengshen came to teach me how to practice the instrument, and I happened to be talking about you, the captain of the piano."

In fact, Noelle still remembered that Toth muttered, "Even Prime Minister Wuhou wouldn't personally help the people find cats..." Such emotion.Although Toth did not specify who the "Prime Minister Wuhou" is, it is probably a story from the past world, right?

"Master Fengshen? So, even Lord Fengshen has a similar view towards me..."

Qin murmured softly, but her face froze briefly, and she quickly covered it up.

She just had the idea that "Master Fengshen said that others are too busy and it doesn't seem convincing", and she quickly reprimanded herself for being disrespectful.

Noelle nodded again and again, and emphasized: "Yes, yes, Mr. Toth and Lord Fengshen looked at each other at that time, and then looked at me in unison. They kept saying that helping others should be moderate, and enthusiasm has a limit... ...It can be seen that they are really worried about you, Captain Qin!"

Qin pursed her lips and controlled her expression.

It really is "fingering and talking about promises".

But from this point of view, the intentions of those two have not been conveyed in place.

Qin sighed inwardly, then shook her head lightly.

"Thank you and those two for your concern. In fact, I am somewhat aware of my own problems."

Noelle blinked in surprise.

Qin said again: "It's mainly the period before the double-headed monster flower appeared, remember? At that time, we switched the temporary system with the Adventurer's Association, and I was also busy with the endless incidents, so I didn't serve people on the street for a long time.

"I look back and realize that when things are really busy, I just can't maintain my normal style.

"Well, at that time, you had little chance to assist me with my work, so you may not be aware that the contents of the documents I handled at that time were also selected. I would only pay attention to matters directly related to monster turmoil or abnormalities in the earth veins. "

Noelle said in surprise, "Is that so? But now..."

Noelle looked at the pile of documents that had been sorted out.

Qin smiled wryly and said: "Lisa also read a few words to me, and according to her, I'm 'falling into the same old problem again'.

"During the time after the Great War, the temporary system in the city was lifted one after another, and I gradually returned to the old way of doing my best to help with everything I could... Various departments also took it for granted, and forwarded some documents according to my requirements.

"Therefore, now that there is another special operation, I have tasted the bitter fruit of my own doing."

Noelle listened in silence with a serious expression.

Serious because it occurred to her that Toth was a little more serious when he mentioned it.

At that time, Toth said that Qin had a strong affinity, and no one made a fuss about it for the time being, so nothing happened.If one day someone thinks otherwise, Qin's actions can be explained in terms of "strong desire for control", "high desire for power" and "unpredictable ambition".

At first, Noelle wasn't sure whether she should talk too much about Qin's style, but she didn't pluck up the courage to "remonstrate" until she was tired from watching Qin today, and she planned to quote those words to emphasize persuasiveness, but she didn't expect Qin to seem Already realized.

Although conscious, but did not make any changes...

Jean saw Noelle's confusion and explained slowly.

"To put it bluntly, these are just some... immature willful attachments of mine."

"Persistence?"

Qin nodded and said seriously: "Yes. Since I became the deputy head... No, when I was just the small captain, I thought that I was doing my best to help others for the sake of glory. But until now I gradually understand that in the past, I In fact, it is always under the protection of the Grand Leader that there is room for self-will."

"Grand regiment leader?"

Noelle couldn't believe it when he suddenly mentioned the head of the group that he hadn't seen for a while.

Although Noelle respected the Grand Commander very much, she also knew that when the Grand Commander was still in the city, many people said that Qin was more like a serious regiment leader.

Noelle didn't understand how Qin could become "willful" under the protection of the Grand Leader.

Qin just smiled and shook his head.

"It's hard for me to explain this for a while, I can only tell you first, standing in the position of the head of the grand regiment, I gradually understand the weight of the choice.

"In short, I clearly know that my way of doing things needs to be corrected, but whenever I have free time, I revert to my old ways. The reason is entirely because of the obstacles in my heart.

"Noelle, please forgive me. I'm sorry for letting you see my immature side. In this regard, I also have to learn from Miss Yingji just now."

"Huh? Ying Ji?"

Noelle was about to stop in a hurry because of Jean's "apology", but the change of topic surprised Noelle a little.

"Yes, although the time we met was short, I can't claim to know much about it.

"But just the impression of talking directly with her, and the fact that she is clearly worried about her fellow race, but she can still maintain enough calmness and rationality...

"All these vaguely make me feel that she is indeed an extraordinary figure. Perhaps, she also understands the difficulty of choosing and choosing better than me."

As Qin said, she stood up and walked to the window, with her hands behind her waist, quietly looking at the city view outside the window.

Noelle knew that Qin was thinking about something, so she waited quietly.

After a while, Qin spoke.

"The three temple raids were launched at the same time, not only to prevent the enemy from diverting important resources, but also to provide cover for Lord Fengshen's 'action'.

"But it has caused Mond City's combat power to be low, and it is also a risk that has to be taken.

"With the current situation, it is impossible for us to immediately deepen the conflict with the fools because of the Pearl Charm... But at least, adopt a defensive stance to prevent the fools from harming Yingji again. This is what we can and should do. .

"Wait until the temple raid is over, Thoth finds out the truth about Abedor's disappearance, and Lord Fengshen's side also completes the goal... Only then can we have the strength to deal with other issues.

"Before that, Noelle, protect Ying Ji well."

Jean turned around and looked at Noelle.

The smile of the female knight was firm and bright.

"You and I are actually stubborn people... One day we all have to grow up and learn more mature changes and principles. But at least for now, maybe we still have to be stubborn for a while."

Say!
