I'm a male god in Liyue

"Um……"

"What happened last night was just an accident, you don't need to take it too seriously."

"I……"

Noelle hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Is there something else on your mind?"

"No...no..."

"Miss Noelle is not very good at lying."

"..."

Noelle lowered her head and remained silent.

Xia Zhi couldn't see her face through his glasses.

But from God's perspective, he could see that she was biting her lip, her eyes were changing excitedly, and gradually a layer of mist appeared on them.

She sniffed softly and called out, "Mr. Xia..."

Xia Zhi's tone softened slightly: "Hmm?"

Noelle's voice betrayed a sense of confusion: "I think I've turned bad..."

"No, I've always thought you were a very good and kind child."

Xia Zhi stopped and frowned slightly.

"Did Fischl say something to you?"

Noelle stopped as well, and quickly shook her head: "No, it has nothing to do with Fischl."

Xia Zhi looked at her and asked, "Who said that?"

Noelle bit her lip: "No one, it was...it was me who said that."

Why would Miss Noelle say that about herself?

Xia Zhi adopted a serious tone.

He naturally didn't believe her words.

After all, how bad could a well-behaved and earnest little maid like Noelle possibly be?

After last night's setback, he's probably stuck in a rut.

Noelle looked up at Xia Zhi, who had a serious expression on his face, and suddenly felt a little intimidated.

She lowered her watery eyes and whispered, "Last night... last night I was injured, and when I fell to the ground, I thought... I thought it was so unfair... so unworthy... I've tried so hard... yet I'm still so weak... I can't become a real knight at all... I can only be a maid... I... I even..."

Xia Zhi asked softly, "Even what?"

Noelle closed her eyes and said somewhat dejectedly, "I even thought that Mondstadt might as well be destroyed by the Abyss Order."

The girl's strength seemed to vanish completely after she uttered such absurd words.

She stood there stiffly, holding her breath.

She lowered her head slightly, turning her face toward her toes, like a sinner awaiting judgment.

Xia Zhi did not speak.

The atmosphere in the air suddenly became silent.

The short seven or eight seconds felt like an entire year.

"Mr. Xia...do you think I've become a bad person?"

Noelle spoke first.

The girl's soft voice carried a hint of timid bewilderment.

"How could I have such a bad thought..."

Her words were interrupted by a warm hand.

Xia Zhi gently ruffled Noel's hair and comforted her, "This is normal. How can you think you've become bad just because of an unrealistic idea? Besides, it's normal for a child your age to have such messy thoughts."

"normal?"

"Yes, for example, Fischl often has these kinds of delusional fantasies, which are far more terrifying than destroying Mondstadt. She wants to destroy many worlds."

“…That, that’s different…”

"There's nothing different. The reason you had those thoughts back then was more because you were influenced by the abyssal power emanating from the monsters."

Xia Zhi said softly.

"Even Dvalin can be seduced by the whispers from the abyss, let alone a mortal like you, so you don't need to take such a trivial matter to heart."

The hand on my head gave me a strange sense of comfort.

Noelle paused for a moment, then seemed to understand, and replied softly, "Mm."

Xia Zhi withdrew her hand: "Let's go."

Noelle felt a little reluctant: "Okay."

The two continued walking forward.

Perhaps having resolved a knot in her heart, Noelle's steps became lighter.

The conversations gradually became more casual.

"Speaking of which, although Abyss Mages are considered quite powerful monsters, you also possess the Eye of God. Even if you can't defeat them, you shouldn't be in such a terrible state, right?"

"I……"

"You don't seem to like your Eye of God? Don't be nervous, we're just chatting casually. It's okay if you don't want to talk about it."

"...To be honest...I'm actually a little disappointed..."

"disappointment?"

“I can’t help but think… Although this Eye of God symbolizes the gods’ affirmation of me, why not [Wind], but [Rock], which is the furthest from the nature of wind? I think the element most suitable for the Knights of Favonius is, after all, [Wind]… just like Captain Jean…”

When the name "Jin" was mentioned, a glimmer of longing appeared in Noelle's eyes.

If it were the leader of the guild, with her superb swordsmanship, the Abyss Mage would definitely be no match for her.

But it will definitely take some effort.

Noelle's mind was once again filled with the image of the dark arrow that pierced the monster last night.

With just one arrow, Fischl easily killed that ferocious monster.

It's obvious that Fischl's current strength has surpassed that of Jean.

That chuunibyou girl who was originally weaker than her has now surpassed the person she has always wanted to catch up with.

Because she has now become a magical girl.

What exactly is a magical girl?

Noelle gently clenched her fingers, and a thought suddenly popped into her mind.

Fischl is a magical girl, and so is Nana.

Although she asked them about magical girls last night and didn't get an answer, Mr. Xia is Qiqi's master, so he must know how Qiqi became a magical girl.

Noelle hesitated for a long time, and seeing that the Knights of Favonius were almost there, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Xia."

Xia Zhi replied, "Hmm? What's up?"

Noelle lowered her voice: "I'd like to ask, do you know anything about magical girls?"

Xia Zhi nodded: "Magical girls, of course I know."

Noelle's face lit up with joy: "Really?"

"Magical girl is a contract ability. A girl who signs a contract can become a magical girl by using a transformation item and has the power to save the world."

"Save the world! Then, how can I become a magical girl?"

"It's simple, a contract."

"With whom do you make the contract?"

"I."

"what?"

Noelle was stunned for a moment.

Xia Zhi smiled and repeated, "As long as you make a contract with me, you can become a magical girl."

"With...Mr. Xia?"

"That's right, both Qiqi and Fischl signed contracts with me, so they've become magical girls now. What? Do you want to become a magical girl too?"

"Can I become one too?"

Noelle looked at Xia Zhi with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.

"If it's you, Miss Noelle, then it's not necessarily true."
