"Honorary Knight? So it's you. What, are you quite familiar with them?"

Diluc didn't pay much attention to the Sky Harp issue; instead, he focused on Luminous's identity.

"Actually, we've only met a few times."

"You've only met them a few times, yet you dare to do something so dangerous with them?"

Diluc clicked his tongue and didn't dwell on the matter further.

"It's just a pity that you joined the Knights."

Diluc looked at Ying and said with some regret.

Seeing this, Wendy asked:

"Lord Diluc seems quite dissatisfied with the Knights of Favonius?"

"Hmm? It's just that the Knights' approach to some issues is unsatisfactory."

Diluc, upon hearing this, did not elaborate further on the matter.

He was indeed dissatisfied with the Knights' style, but he would not oppose them.

After all, it's just a different path; he will protect Mondstadt in his own way.

He had his own expectations for the city of Mondstadt.

"Tell me, why did you go to such lengths to steal the Sky Harp?"

Diluc looked at Luminous and asked calmly.

Although he didn't care about the theft of the Sky Harp, he was still quite curious about why Ying stole it.

"Are you sure you want to listen? This could get you into trouble with the Knights, you know?"

Wendy offered a kind reminder.

"It doesn't matter, I myself am a problem for the Knights."

Diluc waved his hand dismissively.

"Then, I'll add another story."

After Diluc finished speaking, Wendy began her narration.

After listening to Wendy's story, Diluc frowned and asked:

"Why did you let me know such an important secret?"

"Of course, I want to drag you down with me."

Shiraki replied with a smile.

"Ah."

Diluc didn't react much to Shiraki's answer.

After listening to Wendy's story, he began to believe in Wendy's identity as the Wind God.

"Give me some time, and I can act as a go-between for you."

Ultimately, Diluc decides to help Wendy and the others.

Furthermore, he informed Wendy and Luminous that the wanted posters outside did not contain a detailed description of Luminous. As a Knight of Honor, Luminous would not be suspected of going out.

However, Wendy was stuck in the tavern.

"No problem, I love being in taverns. Coming here feels like coming home, and everyone there is so talented."

Upon hearing Diluc's warning, Wendy quickly patted his chest and promised that he would never step out of the tavern.

After learning that she would not be wanted, Ying left with Paimon.

Before leaving, they agreed to meet again that evening.

Not long after Ying left, Diluc also left the tavern.

After sensing that Diluc's presence had faded away, Venti took back the few bottles of alcohol he had secretly hidden earlier.

Shiraki noticed Wendy's subtle actions, but he didn't say anything.

He took out a device similar to the Fontainebleau photographic machine, but this one had been specially modified by the Great Tree King and could record video.

After silently recording Wendy's behavior, Shiraki put away the camera.

Wendy opened one of the bottles of wine he had taken and sat down next to Shiraki, wanting to invite Shiraki to taste it together.

But Shiraki refused outright. Not only that, he also opened a small portal behind him, revealing the camera from the recording machine that had just been used.

The Great Tree King next to Shiroki has been using its divine power to influence Wendy, helping Shiroki hide the camera and prevent Wendy from discovering his secret filming.

……

night.

A gift from an angel.

Diluc returned just as the sun was setting, and he brought with him Jean, the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius.

Before bringing Venti here, Diluc had told Jean that Venti was suspected to be the Wind God, but he didn't have enough evidence yet.

Therefore, Qin seemed a little reserved when she arrived at the tavern.

Although Diluc has repeatedly emphasized that Venti is only a suspected Anemo Archon, Jean has not relaxed her guard.

After all, judging from what Diluc told her before, Venti is only one step away from being the Wind God, and that is, Venti herself has to admit her identity.

Some time after Diluc returned to the tavern, Luminous and Paimon also returned.

Once everyone was present, Diluc spoke:

"I'm sure you've all heard of her, right? Her name is Qin, and she's the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius."

After speaking, Diluc paused, and under Paimon's gaze that seemed to say, "Are you going to betray us?", he continued:

"However, this time, she is only 'Qin', not 'Acting Commander Qin'."

Paimon breathed a sigh of relief after Diluc finished speaking. She had just thought that this big-eyed, thick-browed guy Diluc wanted to sell them to the Knights of Favonius for money.

"This is truly unexpected. I never imagined that you were the ones responsible for the Sky Harp incident."

Upon seeing Ying, Qin also expressed her surprise.

She never imagined that the Church of the Westwind would be raided by the very honorary knight she had just certified.

If Venti's identity as Anemo is confirmed, then another Anemo will be added to the list of those who raid bases.

"So, can the music really purify the Stormterror?"

Qin asked, her gaze turning to Wendy.

"That's right, I can guarantee that."

Wendy nodded, meeting Qin's gaze.

"However, the Sky Harp was stolen by the Fools."

Paimon shrugged and said helplessly.

"So our primary task now is to find the Sky Harp that was stolen by the Fatui, right?"

Jean asked Wendy.

Diluc was somewhat surprised by Jean's statement. He hadn't expected that the usually reserved Jean wouldn't doubt Wendy's words.

But then Diluc thought about it again and understood the reason.

It's likely that Jean has already decided that Wendy is the Wind God. How could she not believe the Wind God's words?

“That’s right, I’ve already extracted some information from the Fatui members who were alone in Mondstadt.”

"Well, the information Diluc-senpai received is that the Fatui didn't hide the Sky Harp in the Goethe Hotel, but probably in some semi-public place."

Upon hearing Jean address him as "senpai," Diluc's expression visibly changed. Clearly, he was somewhat averse to the title.

Noticing Diluc's change in expression, everyone completely ignored how Jean addressed him.

Paimon nodded and said:

"I understand, I understand. They're probably afraid that if things get out, it will cause a diplomatic crisis."

After the Fatui's theft of the violin right under Wendy's nose, Paimon's understanding of this matter has deepened somewhat.
