A delightful smile, difficult to decipher, appeared on Ningguang's face.
He scratched his head.
Forget it, if I don't understand it, I'll just leave it at that. I'll go soak in the hot spring in Lady Keqing's bathroom first!
Mr. Luo Mu switched to a good mood very quickly.
……
"Oh!"
"Ohhh—!"
They arrived at their destination.
Keqing-sama's Great House!
A small, delicate butler puppet floated in front of them and politely greeted them:
"Lady Keqing has instructed me to lead everyone to the bathing area to rest, and specifically instructed Mr. Luo Mu not to touch anything in the room."
Mr. Luo Mu, who was excitedly looking around, immediately turned around and loudly protested:
Why am I the only one?!
"—"
Wait, shouldn't Noelle be the first to slander me at a time like this?
Suddenly feeling like something was missing, Luo Mu turned to look at Noelle, only to have his gaze meet that of the junior in a maid outfit. She then snorted and turned her face away.
What's wrong? Did I do something?
Luo Mu looked completely bewildered.
"Noelle was injured in the previous battle, and you, as the captain and senior, didn't even bother to take care of her."
Amber nudged him.
"Huh, is that even possible?"
He rushed ahead all by himself, so he had no idea what was happening behind him, but judging from Noel's reaction—
"Everything is already done, you don't need to worry about it, senior!"
look!
Amber secretly sent him a message.
[Amber: Actually, there was an assassin who seemed to be planning to take out Noelle first before continuing his mission.]
Uh... he understands that.
For assassins, the general rule for choosing targets is twofold: either pick someone who is alone or the weakest, and start with the easy target.
He gave Amber a look and replied to the message in return.
[Luo Mu: But I think Noelle is stronger than the Second Miss, right?]
[Amber: Second Miss?]
[Luo Mu: Ahem, Xingqiu, Xingqiu]
[Amber: Tsk tsk]
[Amber: But Noelle was actually alone at the time too]
That explains it.
Amber gave him a look.
You know what to do, right?
He replied instantly.
Got it!
It's just about comforting the younger female student's wounded heart!
There's really no reason to question that Noelle is the weakest in their team. After all, she's a junior, and it would be embarrassing if she were stronger than them.
But it's best for everyone to keep this to themselves. If it's used against someone, it'll definitely make them feel bad.
Moreover, although Noelle is definitely stronger than Xingqiu, a considerable part of Noelle's current strength comes from the boost from that maid outfit, while Xingqiu is known for his talent in martial arts.
Wow, thinking about it this way, it really does seem pretty discouraging, doesn't it?
But he could actually understand Noel's feelings right now, after all, he was just an ordinary person once.
Even just going to school, you can clearly feel that some people come from wealthy families, some come from families with high social status, and some are so talented in their studies that no matter how hard they try, they can't catch up.
Although people don't differentiate based on this at school, it's still easy to doubt oneself when faced with upsetting situations.
What right do I have to sit here? What am I to you... and so on.
But to my shame, Noelle was actually a top student at the Alchemy Academy. The reason she was the weakest in their team was twofold: firstly, there wasn't a single simple character in the team, and secondly...
His team leader is cheating.
Compared to Noel, a top student who is absolutely diligent in both his studies and training, his victory through sheer luck is somewhat shameful. However, as a senior member of the same generation as Noel and a seasoned member of society, he understands one thing quite clearly—
Reality doesn't compensate you for others' cheating.
Wealth, status, talent—no matter how much resentment and anger one feels, in the end, all one can face is oneself.
You can't expect other parents to avoid showing their wealth and status to your children, can you? You can't expect people to be unable to utilize their innate talents, can you?
Therefore, he never considered himself superior enough to refuse the system girl's help, but he understood that he should not be complacent about it.
and--
He felt that with Noelle's abilities, he should be able to realize these things and overcome them.
It's just that everyone has moments of emo, after all, humans are emotional beings. Even small emotions that seem insignificant in normal times can accumulate little by little, so at each critical point, we need to learn to vent or release them.
And at times like this, hehehe!
Of course, it's time for a wise and understanding senior to step in!
"Noel?"
He approached the junior with a grin, raised his arm and put it around Noelle's shoulder, who was turning her face away.
He easily got the female student to turn her face around.
"I hope you understand, senior, that you are probably no match for me right now."
Noelle said expressionlessly.
"I know, that's why I especially need you, Noelle, to help me take off my clothes and shower~"
"Oh, right, Noelle, why don't you take your clothes off first? Otherwise it might be inconvenient when we take a bath together later~"
The Divine Calculation System Girl Will Not Be [illegible] in Liyue! : Chapter 439: Lady Keqing's Daily Hot Spring Bath!
To be honest, he originally thought that Noelle might be angry if he said that.
Noelle glanced at him once and then turned away without saying a word.
"Wow, you're making me feel like such a failure."
Senior Luo Mu said, feeling greatly discouraged.
"Senior, if you know someone is in a bad mood, you shouldn't bother me."
Noelle said this while looking ahead.
However, he is not so easily persuaded to give up.
He bent down even closer, pressing his face against Noelle's warm, smooth cheek, as he answered:
"You're my teammate and junior. If I don't show concern for you at a time like this, wouldn't that make me, as the captain and senior, seem very irresponsible?"
Noelle, whose shoulder was wrapped around his arm and whose face was pressed against his, shifted slightly as if she were being difficult, but didn't make any other movements, only continuing to mutter to herself:
"Now, senior, can you finally let me go after you've finished showing your concern?"
"Now that I've shown you some concern, shouldn't you also show some concern for your poor senior? I really need the care of a junior maid right now!"
"You're so annoying, senior!"
"But I'd really die without my junior maid's help!"
Noelle instinctively wanted to retort, but when she clearly felt Luo Mu's soft arm draped over her shoulder, she couldn't bring herself to say anything.
It must be admitted that her bastard predecessor wasn't entirely talking nonsense this time.
Having been lying like a corpse all the way, Luo Mu could barely walk on his own.
If that jerk of a senior went through all that trouble to clear a path for them to escape danger, and then was left behind when they were exhausted afterwards, it really felt a bit too much.
But ultimately—
Who else but myself would want to be a maid for such a lousy and awful senior?
Without her own words, that bastard senior might really die, after all, when she first arrived, Luo Mu and Amber were ordering takeout at home every day...
Without me, I don't know what a terrible state my home would be in after a while.
Even with cleaning dolls, it doesn't necessarily mean things will get too messy...
"...Haa."
Noelle sighed.
She knew she was experiencing some mental exhaustion, but some problems couldn't be resolved overnight.
However, even that jerk senior performed so well this time, so I really shouldn't hold him back.
"I understand!"
Noelle replied in a self-deprecating tone, but not entirely so, "I won't let you die like this, senior!"
Luo Mu was immediately embarrassed.
I'm not really going to die! Saying that makes me feel more dangerous!
But things have developed to this point—
That's not something Mr. Luo Mu can decide just because he wants to.
The maid Noelle, who had accepted the mission to prevent her senior from dying, suddenly raised her hand and grabbed Luo Mu's arm, which was draped over her shoulder, and then—
March forward with great strides!
"Butler! Please take us to the bathroom immediately, my master needs emergency treatment!"
"Hey!"
Still in a state of exhaustion, he was dragged along the corridor by Noelle, as if he were hanging on Noelle's back.
The others who lagged behind looked at each other, and finally Amber asked the question first:
"There shouldn't be anyone else here who needs emergency medical attention, right?"
Teacher Fischl quietly raised her hand: "This princess... doesn't really need it."
"Oh, that's good~"
……
As a result, he was taken to the bathroom by Noelti all by himself.
Although it's called a bathroom, Keqing's bathroom is actually a small hot spring with an antique style, pavilions, rockeries, green plants, and wisps of white mist!
The butler doll standing nearby then dutifully began to explain:
"This spiritual spring is a special reward for Lady Keqing for achieving the top ranking in the academic year during the graduation trial at the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. After that, it was upgraded by Lady Keqing many times, and it has many excellent effects such as cultivation assistance, recovery assistance, and healing assistance. It is also a place that Lady Keqing must visit after finishing her cultivation and after hard work."
"Over the years, this spiritual spring has undoubtedly played a significant role in helping Lady Keqing advance to Lv.6 as soon as possible."
Wow!
Luo Mu was amazed.
However, as he looked at the ethereal spring before him, the thoughts in his mind were actually quite subtle.
