Character Voice Acting - Mona: About Lin Qiu - Part Two

"This bad guy!"

Chapter 71 Hero of the Night

A few more days passed, and during this time, Lin Qiu's works continued to be released.

These are the chapters 'Night Owl', 'Little Wolf', and 'Long Ladle'.

That is, the story of Diluc, the hero of the night, the story of Razor, the wolf child, and the story of Xiangling, the gourmet hunter.

The story of 'The Long Ladle Chapter' is unfolding in reality.

On the way to Liyue, Ying encountered Xiangling.

During the conversation, Ying learned that Xiangling knew Lin Qiu, so she took the initiative to accompany Xiangling around to try to learn some information about Lin Qiu.

Since Xiangling is going back to Liyue anyway, isn't this on the way?

Because this story is based on a real event, I will start with the story of 'The Night Owl Chapter'.

"The Night Owl Chapter: Act One: The Alibi of the Night Hero"

Inside the tavern's private room, upon seeing this title, Kaeya couldn't help but chuckle.

"Now your alibi is gone," Kaeya whispered to Diluc.

Diluc remained silent, somewhat speechless. Although he didn't know when he had been called the "Hero of the Night," judging from the title, it seemed he was the one.

Even before their alibi was proven, it's already become evidence.

Fengshen is a big shot. It's one thing for you to reveal your identity, but why are you dragging me into this...?

Thinking of this, Diluc glanced at Wendy beside him.

I went straight to the tavern for a drink as soon as I got back to Mondwendy.

Returning to the story in the book, it is said that there are rumors of "heroes of the night" circulating in Mondstadt.

The citizens of Mondstadt found this rumor quite relatable, and they were also very curious about who the "Hero of the Night" really was.

Paimon and Ying, who are very gossipy, began to gather relevant information.

The first person they found was Charles, the bartender at the tavern.

After all, taverns are the perfect place to hear gossip and rumors.

Readers are already used to the fact that these two characters are appearing in the show again.

Apart from that little side story, there hasn't been a single time since the two of them haven't appeared.

"I see, so you guys also have this 'love to join in the fun' personality."

Spread the word: Charles's sharp critique of travelers.

Charles told the traveler that the Dark Hero was an 'urban legend' that everyone in the tavern had been talking about lately.

Paimon was somewhat frightened and said:

"No...it can't be some kind of scary legend, can it?"

Charles: "It's not scary at all."

"It's a legend about the 'Hero of the Night.'"

[“Wow!” Paimon exclaimed in a high-pitched voice.]

【“Wow!” Ying’s chorus.】

They hadn't said anything yet, but they both pretended to be frightened.

Charles: "Hey, are you guys even listening to what I'm saying?!"

In the story, Charles is also helpless against this quirky duo.

He continued recounting the legend of the "Hero of the Night," a man who would punish evil and promote good at midnight.

He then told the traveler who the witnesses were, and that the traveler could ask them if he was interested.

The traveler and Paimon searched everywhere for people to ask until they found Donna.

Donna: "Sigh, I'm such a bad woman."

For some reason, Donna made this remark.

"How can someone be so fickle..."

It turns out it was because he was unfaithful; I wonder what happened.

Paimon approached and inquired about the "Night Hero," and Donna was surprised to hear the name "Night Hero."

"Heroes of the Night!? How did you know who I was thinking of?"

"Ah... does it mean... it's written all over his face?"

"Ugh... what should I do? What if Lord Diluc sees me? What would happen then...?"

Donna completely ignored Paimon's question and became lost in her own world.

Paimon: "Huh? You mean Lord Diluc?"

This is a bit strange. Most people would call Diluc "Master," but it's not very common to call him "Your Excellency."

Little did Paimon know that Donna, just like Sonoko in Detective Conan, would address the person she admired as "sir".

Donna offered an explanation:

"Originally, the only person I admired was... well... Lord Diluc..."

"But ever since that night, when I was saved by the 'Hero of the Night'... it's like I can no longer be sure of my own feelings..."

Seeing this, Donna in real life blushed deeply. How could a young girl's delicate feelings be brought into the open?

At this point, she hadn't been rescued by the "Hero of the Night" yet! She hadn't even started having affairs!

"But... can the charm of the 'Night Hero' really compare to that of Lord Diluc?" Donna muttered to herself.

If it were really possible, I'd love to be saved by the "Night Hero"... Would he carry me in a princess carry?

Within the gifts of angels.

"Pfft!" Wendy couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Worried that Grandpa Lu would kick him out, Wendy quickly covered his mouth, and you could only tell from his trembling shoulders that he was trying hard to suppress his laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!"

Kaeya laughed wildly, slapping the table twice and then patting Diluc.

He made a pointing gesture and laughed so hard he couldn't speak.

Diluc felt Kaeya's slap and was speechless, but he didn't say a word.

Don't say anything! Saying anything now will only make him more smug!

Rosalia looked at her two drinking buddies, still somewhat confused. What was so funny?

Others who were unaware of the situation also remained unresponsive; they were still unaware that Diluc was the "Night Hero."

Returning to the story itself, the Traveler and Paimon, based on the information they had, finally came to a conclusion.

There are absolutely no clues. I'll just wander around the city tonight and try my luck.

It can only be said that the Traveler and Paimon are indeed the embodiment of great luck, beings who have been blessed with the Mother Goddess's three-fold closure of her eyes. They did indeed encounter the "Hero of the Night" at night.

At a side gate of Mondstadt, Diluc is locked in combat with an abyss mage.

It was called a grappling match, but it was really just a one-sided beating.

So, the "Hero of the Night" is Diluc.

Rosalia now understood what her 'drinking buddies' were laughing about; it turned out that Lord Diluc was also secretly protecting Mondstadt.

Donna almost fainted with joy upon seeing this.

Lord Diluc is truly the "Hero of the Night"! I am the very embodiment of unwavering loyalty! I am not fickle at all!

No matter what you look like or what your identity is, I will fall in love with you!

Wait, does that mean I was saved by Lord Diluc? Was it a princess carry or something?!

On what night in the future, and where will I encounter danger? I need to go there now!

Diluc: "I didn't expect to run into you guys here."

Diluc deliberately avoided the Knights of Favonius' patrol, but he still managed to get the Traveler on board.

[Ying: "I knew it all along, you're the 'Hero of the Night'."]

Diluc: "'Night Hero'? Did you come up with such a cliché name?"

Kaiya stopped laughing. "Isn't this name cool? Where's the tacky part? Don't spout nonsense!"

Judging from Kaeya's appearance, Diluc, who knew him well, immediately realized that it was Kaeya who had spread the name.

Seeing his sworn brother staring at him, Kaiya chuckled awkwardly.

"Haha, this wine is really good, I'm already a little drunk."

"Oh no, I feel like I'm going to fall asleep." Kaya slumped onto the table.

Character Voice Lines - Diluc: About the Night Elf Heroes

"This childish nickname... never mind, whatever you like."

Chapter 72 Today's expenses are on the young master's plate.

Kaiya wasn't actually pretending to be asleep; instead, she placed the book on her lap and continued reading, just like she would when peeking into class.

Since Diluc thinks Night Elf heroes are lame, Paimon will give you a new nickname—The Righteous One!

Kaeya couldn't help but admire Paimon's good taste in nicknames.

“Each one is more childish than the last…” Diluc sighed helplessly, but he wasn’t angry.

It's just a nickname or two; let them give it to them if they like.

The rest is about how the Traveler, the perfect tool, helped Diluc successfully deceive the Knights of Favonius; there's not much to mention.

Turning our attention back to Xiangling, she now appreciates the usefulness of the traveler.

It can fight, cook, and even use elemental vision to help find ingredients.

Whether it was exploring hidden realms to find ingredients or later in the cooking showdown, the traveler's contribution was indispensable.

It's incredibly easy to use; I absolutely love it.

"Ying, Paimeng, come to Wanmintang when you have time, I'll treat you to something delicious!" Xiangling said.

Ying nodded, then asked, "Does Lin Qiu have any favorite dishes?"

“Are you interested in cooking? Come on, I’ll teach you when we get to Liyue,” Xiangling said.

Ying nodded and set off with Xiangling on their journey to Liyue.

Then, they met Charlotte.

Many days had passed since Charlotte left Fontaine for Mondstadt, and she happened to meet up with the Travelers.

"Is that Luminous and Paimon?" Charlotte recognized Luminous at a glance.

There's no way around it, a little golden retriever with a white floating object is just too conspicuous.

"Who are you?" Ying asked, puzzled. She didn't know Charlotte.

"Hello, hello, I'm Charlotte. I'd like to conduct an interview with you. May I join you for a while?"
