"Mo Ran~ Can I cook for you?" Takiya called out in a coquettish voice.

Mo Ran felt his scalp tingle when he heard this. He used his elemental power to shake him away and said coldly, "Don't bother me anymore!"

Walking quickly into the cafeteria, Mo Ran ordered a few dishes and sat at a table by himself. At this time, Kaiya sat next to him.

"Hey, Officer Mo Ran, it looks like you're not lucky today! Haha."

"Captain Kaia loves to gloat over other people's misfortunes as always. Would you like me to divert the blame for a bit? I'll just consider it a favor."

"Forget it! Just enjoy yourself." Kaiya naturally didn't want to get into trouble with a dog-skin plaster to torture himself.

Mo Ran didn't say anything else. He was thinking about a solution in his mind. After lunch, he came up with an idea.

Even if due process and absolute force fail, there will still be separation between the dead and the living in the end.

"Let's go talk to Qin first and follow the proper procedures." Thinking this, Mo Ran walked to the door of the head of the group.

Boom...boom boom!

"Please come in." Qin called out and continued to deal with the residents' affairs on the table.

"Captain Qin, I have something to report!" Mo Ran got straight to the point and explained the farce that happened this morning. "This has seriously affected my work. Captain Qin, please take care of her harassment."

"If it doesn't work, just put her in solitary confinement for a few days!"

Qin nodded and said, "I understand. Takiya is the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Mondstadt. Her behavior is indeed inappropriate. I will go and persuade her as soon as possible."

"Then I'll trouble Captain Qin, I..." Mo Ran suddenly remembered what he might have in his office now, so he glanced at the documents on the table and made up his mind.

"Captain Qin, you have a hard time handling affairs every day! Please let me help you with some of them!"

"Eh?" Qin was stunned for a moment, then she saw through his thoughts, "Okay, you take care of these."

Qin pushed the adult-high pile of commissions on the table over to her and continued to deal with two equally high piles on the ground.

Mo Ran pulled a chair and sat beside the table. He took out some paper and a pen and looked at the commission: Help residents find a lost kitten.

I took a few more: cleaning the sewers, helping to feed the pigeons, sweeping the fallen leaves on the street, cleaning the statue of the wind god, asking the Knights to compensate for the stolen fruits...

There were almost no commissions that the knights were supposed to handle, but Jean seemed to have gotten used to it. She wrote detailed instructions for each commission and sent the Knight of Favonius to resolve them.

Mo Ran took the pen, tapped on the paper a few times, and asked, "Captain Qin, do we have to accept the commission given to the Knights?"

"No, it can be rejected."

"Then why did you take them all?"

"Because, even if it is rejected, I will receive the same commission the next day. If I leave it alone, it will cause panic in the city!" Qin sighed and continued to deal with it.

"But this is not a solution. The Knights of Favonius are already tired from patrolling and clearing monsters every day, and now they have to deal with these trivial matters." Mo Ran thought for a while.

"Captain Qin, why don't we lock up those who caused the panic and give them a good lesson?"

"How can this be possible? After all, they are residents. This is too..." Qin frowned and shook her head.

"Isn't this the case with Mondstadt's neighbor Liyue? From the current and foreseeable future, Liyue is stronger than Mondstadt, and its economy is much more prosperous."

"The residents of Mondstadt are too lazy. It's time to change that! What do you think, Captain Qin?"

After a long silence, Qin chuckled and said, "Mo Ran, you and Eula both like to make dangerous remarks, but these changes can indeed make Mondstadt and the Knights of Favonius stronger."

"Thank you for your teaching. I will try the measures you mentioned as soon as possible!"

"Otherwise, how could we get together? Besides, I just mentioned a few things based on the facts. Captain Qin needs to figure out the specific methods himself." Mo Ran rejected most of the matters that did not need to be handled by the Knights.

"Anyway, thank you. If you succeed, Mo Ran, you will be a great benefactor of Mond!" Qin said, and continued to handle the commission, but this time she was much faster.

Because most of the commissions were marked as rejected, this made Qin's work a lot easier. The remaining dozens of commissions were the ones that really needed to be handled by the Knights.

For example, the newly appeared monsters outside Mondstadt, the treasure-stealing groups in some ruins, the Fatui stationed in Mondstadt...

After finishing everything, I looked at the time and it was around four in the afternoon, which was in stark contrast to the usual time when I worked until midnight without a break.

Qin put down her pen and sighed, "I wonder if everyone in the Knights is working hard."

"Yes, but not much." Mo Ran muttered to himself, stretched his crackling cervical spine, picked up a novel from the bookshelf and flipped through it casually.

Qin glanced at the novel he was reading and pretended to be calm. After all, Qin was just a teenage girl. Although her mind was much more mature than her peers, she was still at the age when she first began to fall in love.

What Mo Ran was holding in his hand was the love novel that Qin loved to read, "The Melancholy of Young Vera, Volume 6".

"Captain Qin, Captain Qin?" Mo Ran called her a few times in confusion.

"Ah? What's wrong? What happened?" Qin came back to her senses and took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"It's not a big deal. I just remember that volumes 6 and 10 of this novel seem to be hard to buy. I wonder if Captain Qin has volume 10?"

Mo Ran suppressed the upturned corners of his mouth. As someone who had played games before, he naturally knew the novel that Qin was reading, but the contrast was too great to see her evasive eyes and slightly blushing face.

Qin, who was always known for her rationality, was hesitating and couldn't even speak clearly. It was unclear whether she was afraid that her subordinates would find out that she read romance novels and lose her prestige or what.

The Qin in front of him was just an ordinary pretty girl. Apart from her figure and martial arts skills that could rival Eula, she was just a girl with a simple mind.

Boom...boom.

A few knocks on the door broke the slightly awkward situation. Qin cleared her throat and said, "Come in."

The visitor was an unknown Knight of Favonius, who brought two cups of coffee and then left.

Qin added the right amount of sugar and milk, mixed it, and placed it on Mo Ran's table. "Try it. This is the mixing ratio Lisa taught me. She said it can maximize the taste and effectiveness of the coffee."

"Thank you." Mo Ran took a sip. The aroma of the coffee was not covered up. The sweetness was slightly bitter, which was refreshing without losing flavor.

“It seems that Miss Lisa has made great achievements in the field of afternoon tea.”

"Lisa is really good at this stuff, and it's the coffee that helps me work so long every day."

"Captain Qin, you should rest more. If you fall ill, the Knights will be less effective than half of what they were!"

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. I just did what I should do. Everyone is working hard too."

"Yes, yes." Mo Ran smiled and didn't say anything else.

…………

They stayed until the sun set. When Mo Ran got up and prepared to go back to the hotel, Qin called him, "Mo Ran, if you don't mind, I'll treat you to dinner. Just consider it as a thank you for helping me with the matter!"

"Okay, Captain Qin, please~" Mo Ran made way and let Qin walk in front. It wasn't that he wanted to eat for free, but he remembered that if he went back now, he might get into trouble again.

After leaving the Knights, they were followed by a "tail". Mo Ran thought: "It seems that in front of Qin, I really don't dare to act recklessly."

Someone on the street saw Qin and immediately came over to greet him, "Captain Qin, are you handling official business?"

"Ah, and..." Qin was about to explain when a voice came from the side:

"Yes, Captain Qin is handling official business, please don't stop us."

"Oh, okay, Captain Qin, thank you for your hard work!" After the resident left, Qin said, "There's no need to lie to them, right?"

"If we don't do this, we will either have to deal with things or be surrounded by residents. It's better to just say that we have official business. After all, eating is something we have to do, so it can be considered a kind of official business!"

Qin thought back to her previous experiences when she went out and felt that this was indeed the case. "I am the leader, but you take care of me everywhere. I..."

"No, I just have a lot of life experience. When it comes to work, the captain is much better than me."

"Well, we each have our own strengths. There's a new Cat's Tail Tavern that's opened in the city recently. Their side dishes are pretty good. Do you want to go and try them together?"

"Captain Qin, you can choose. I'm fine with either." When it comes to food, Mo Ran has always adhered to the principle of just being able to eat enough.

"Then let's go to the Cat's Tail Tavern!" Qin walked in front to lead the way. Although she was not old enough to drink, there were non-alcoholic drinks available in the tavern, so it was not a problem.

The two came to the Cat's Tail Tavern, and the "tail" following behind them was still persistent.

"Oh~ Captain Qin is here! Please come in and take a seat." Margaret, the owner of the Cat's Tail Tavern, welcomed her.

Qin nodded in response, and walked with Mo Ran to the counter to order. "Ms. Diona, please give me a grilled mushroom pizza, two special Mond grilled fish, and a non-alcoholic Dandelion special."

"Oh, OK." Hearing the order without alcohol, Diona couldn't help but look at her a few more times, glancing at the adult who was under the impression that alcohol would affect her and asked, "What about you?"

"Two grilled mushroom chicken skewers and a glass of Diona's alcohol-free special, that's all." Mo Ran put down the menu and looked for an empty seat.

"You...you don't drink either?" Diona asked in surprise. Generally, people who come to the Cat's Tail Tavern are alcoholics, so it's inevitable that Diona would find it strange.

"Any questions?"

"No, no, the drinks and side dishes will be ready soon!" Diona said softly. This would have been impossible under normal circumstances.

Mo Ran and Qin went to a secluded place together. Qin asked first, "Mo Ran, don't you drink?"

"I haven't drunk it before. Besides, if I drink, my hands will become unsteady and the sword will deviate from the target, which will cause harm to me. So I didn't order it."

"I see." Qin secretly decided not to drink anymore.

At the counter, Diona served the dishes and whispered, "If only other adults were like these two guys!"
