Original God: Using a vest knife to make players and game characters cry

"No problem, please leave it to me!"

Adeline seemed quite adept at giving such instructions, and left with the paper.

A dozen minutes later, Diluc left the Dawn Winery.

In recent years, Diluc has held a banquet for his sister Nora every year around this time to comfort her if she is saddened by failing the Knights of Favonius test.

Yes, even though the test results haven't been released yet, Diluc already knows the answer.

Nora failed the Knights of Favonius's test.

It wasn't because she lacked ability; in fact, Ruola ranked first in almost every aspect of the assessment.

With her Fire-type Divine Eye, how weak could she possibly be?

The reason she failed was simple: she was missing one thing.

There was another little girl in Mondstadt in a similar situation; they were both missing that one thing, which was why they had been unable to pass the test and remained unofficial members of the Knights Order.

Diluc doesn't have a good impression of the Knights of Favonius, but he won't object to his sister joining them.

It's just too early now, it's not the right time.

Diluc traveled all the way to Mondstadt and arrived at the Angel's Gift tavern.

Here, he encountered two people he had expected.

"Hey, isn't this our Lord Diluc?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Diluc's face hardened.

"Nora is having an assessment today, so I'm here to let you know not to be absent tonight."

Kaiya downed the wine in his glass in one gulp and, unusually, became serious: "Don't worry, I've never been careless about anything concerning my little sister."

Sitting opposite Kaiya, a boy with two braids and wearing a green hat chuckled:

"I, the most popular bard in all of Mondstadt, will not be absent from Miss Nora's banquet, which is lovely, beautiful and kind."

Diluc didn't want to deal with this drunken poet. Three days ago, this guy tricked his sister into giving him wine, and she brought out a lot of good wine from their family's wine cellar.

He only found out yesterday; Diluc wouldn't have invited him if it weren't for his good relationship with his sister.

……

In the afternoon, the Knights' assessment concluded.

Jora and Noelle waited with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness as the Knights of Favonius announced the results on the stage.

When they learned that they had failed to be selected again, both of them seemed very disappointed.

The Knights of Favonius and the Mondstadt participants in the assessment looked at the two with considerable pity.

Both of them are so outstanding in every way!

Even those who knew the inside story could only shake their heads and sigh.

In Mondstadt, everyone knows Jora and Noelle.

One is the richest man in Mondstadt, Diluc's younger sister, and the other is a maid of the Knights of Favonius.

Two very kind little girls, two little angels of Mondstadt, are very friendly and kind to everyone, and are especially likable.

In Mondstadt, it's almost a consensus among the city's residents to turn to them when in trouble.

The two are usually full of energy and helpful. Noelle's thoughtfulness and reliability, and Jora's enthusiasm and liveliness have infected everyone in Mondstadt!

Perhaps, only at this moment will we see her dejected state.

"Nora, don't be discouraged!"

"Noelle, it's okay, you did a great job!"

"..."

Nora quickly recovered; she was naturally a bit thick-skinned, and her emotions came and went quickly.

"Noelle, it's okay, I'm here with you, we'll come again next time!"

"I······"

Noelle was still a little disappointed. She looked at Jora beside her, her best friend, who was looking at her with concern. Noelle nodded emphatically.

"Yes, we need to work even harder!"

Nora patted her little chest: "Hehe, that's more like it! If we work harder this year, we'll definitely pass next year!"

She stretched out her slender, white hands and pinched them in the air.

Seeing that the two had recovered so quickly, everyone around them applauded.

This made Noelle blush.

It was clearly a failure in the assessment...

Ruola, however, scratched her head and laughed, her smile as bright as a blooming sunflower, her laughter like a clear silver bell.

Noelle grabbed Jora and they fled from that awkward place.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Well, I... I just... I'm not used to being in that kind of atmosphere."

"Ora ora, come on, I'll take you to my house, you have to sleep with me tonight!"

Noelle placed her two small hands in front of her skirt armor and nodded shyly.

"hey-hey."

Jora put her hand on Noelle's shoulder, and the two walked together toward the gates of Mondstadt.

"Good afternoon, Sister Margaret!"

"Oh, it's Nora. How did it go? Did you pass the test this time?"

"Hmm, no, but I won't give up. I'll definitely pass the test next time, and I'll definitely become a Knight of Favonius!"

"Keep it up! Come visit me sometime. I recently got some new fabric and made a beautiful outfit especially for Ruola!"

"Really? Really? I'll come tomorrow. Thank you, Sister Margaret!"

"Haha~ They're already calling me 'sister,' so there's no need for thanks."

We walked for a while longer.

"Good afternoon, Uncle Wagner!"

The taciturn Wagner, who rarely spoke to many people, immediately stopped what he was doing upon hearing this lively voice.

"Oh, it's you, my little girl! And Noelle, good afternoon!"

Wagner gave a faint smile as he faced the two Mondstadt angels.

"Uncle Wagner, is the tip of my spear finished?"

"It's been ready for a while now. See, do you like it?"

"Wow, Uncle Wagner's cooking is as amazing as ever!"

"That is."

Wagner touched his head.

As she left Mondstadt, Nora greeted the two knights standing guard at the gate.

……

Back at Dawn Winery.

It was already dusk, and the sky was about to darken.

Jora and Noelle saw the lanterns hanging at the entrance of the manor from afar.

"Brother!"

Upon seeing Diluc standing at the entrance of the winery, Nora ran up to him.

"Ugh, bro, I didn't pass again..."

Diluc affectionately patted Nora's head and nodded to Noelle.

"Come on, I've prepared lots of delicious food for you, all of which are your favorites."

Diluc also considers Noelle, who is closest to Zora, as his sister.

"Bro, I love you to death!"

Jora gave her older brother a big bear hug, and then quickly pulled Noelle into the winery.

"Kaiya, and Wendy too! You're here too? Is today some special day?!"

Usually it's Kaya and his older brother, but I didn't expect Wendy to come today too!

She had only known Wendy for seven days, and Nora really didn't expect him to come.

"Does it need to be a special occasion for your brother to come home and have a meal with his sister, little Ruola?"

Kaiya magically produced a hairpin from behind her back: "I've heard about it. You failed the Knights' test again. Don't worry, maybe you'll pass next time."

"Thank you, Kaiya!"

Kaiya didn't forget Noel beside Nora either. He pulled out a hairpin from somewhere, which was exactly the same as the one he had given to Nora, except for the color.

After some persuasion from Jora and Kaia, Noelle finally accepted the hairpin.

"Thank you, Captain Kaeya!"

"It's really not easy to come and have dinner with Xiaoruola. Some people are wary of me... cough."

Before Kaeya could finish speaking, Diluc coldly placed his hand on Kaeya's shoulder and said, "Sit down, dinner is ready soon."

After they finished speaking, Wendy went up to greet them.

"Hello, we meet again, my good friend!"

"Wendy, thank you for coming this time! Did you receive the wine I sent to Windrise last time? How was it? Did you like it? If you didn't, I have more..."

"Cough cough cough, oh dear, I think I've caught a cold. The temperature has been fluctuating a lot lately. Let's not talk about that for now. Lord Diluc has prepared a lot of delicious food."

Upon hearing the sensitive topic, Wendy quickly shifted her attention, while also secretly peeking at Diluc's reaction behind her.

Diluc was busy preparing the meal, seemingly oblivious to what was happening.

The group finished the feast in a lively atmosphere, and everyone was very happy. Diluc and Kaeya did not bicker during the meal.

Wendy drank a lot of alcohol and collapsed on the table before finishing her meal.

Chapter 3: Genshin Impact Launches

That night, Jora and Noelle lay in the same bed, chatting about their experiences and insights from the day's assessment.

As they chatted, Noelle fell asleep first.

Nora closed her eyes, feeling the cool breeze, her pores opening up, and her consciousness drifted into sleep.

In a daze, Ruola murmured, "Wind, Wind God..."

······

The next day, as soon as it was light, Ruola and the other person got up.

Waking up early has become a habit, especially in the last month, as Stormterror visits Mondstadt from time to time, and the Knights have countless things to do every day.

Although Jora and Noelle are not official Knights of Favonius, they both feel it is their duty to do their part for Mondstadt!

Nora, dressed in a red and white training uniform and wearing long boots, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, took out her spear from the Eye of God, replaced the spearhead with a brand new one she had taken from Wagner the day before, and attached it.

"Hey bro, I'm off! I've brought breakfast!"

"Be careful!"

"Okay, got it!"

Jora took two pieces of Mora meat, ate one herself, and handed the other to Noelle.
