“Maybe but this one is made especially for you, don’t you agree” Lumine answered
“Y-Yes! Just great, mind you” Alois explained nervously before he realized something “On another note, that drink made me realize just how empty my stomach is…” Alois realized
“Oh, so you’re hungry too!” Noelle realized before looking down sadly “...How terrible of me, if I’d realized, I would’ve saved some pancakes for you” Noelle said sadly
“Then how about we go to Good Hunter restaurant, it has the best food in Mondstadt, especially Sticky Honey Roast” Paimon suggested
Noelle then gasped in realization
“Good idea, let’s go guys!” Noelle suggested
“I agree! That sounds like a good place!” Alois explained happily before the four began walking towards Good Hunter and when they arrived Alois could only look in awe at how good the food looked “Mmmm… Smells incredible! So it’s true… If you really want to sell Mondstadt wines you can’t do without Mondstadt dishes…” Alois explained before thinking “Maybe recipes will be easier to obtain than the brewing process…” Alois thought
“Easier to obtain?” Lumine asked in suspicion
“Oh! Uhh, what I mean is… The Dandelion Wine brewing process is unique— difficult to imitate! That’s why we merchants can buy with confidence!” Alois explained nervously
“Haha, where was I… Let’s see what’s on the menu… Hmm, so many dishes… Hard to decide…” Alois thought out loud
“Can I help?” Noelle asked
“Uh sure… What do you suggest?” Alois asked
“Hm… Well, do you prefer red meat or white?” Noelle asked
“I like ‘em both” Alois answered
“The steaks here are cuts of freshly shipped Springvale Boar, I’d recommend having it served medium to really bring out the natural sweetness of the meat” Noelle explained before thinking “Mm…” Noelle thought before she remembered something “Oh! Sweet madame is another specialty, crispy skin and tender meat— goes perfectly with wine! However those dishes alone aren’t very healthy from a nutritional standpoint so I recommend a mushroom pizza and a satisfying salad too on the side, if that sounds okay I will place the order for you, this meal is on me to make up for my inattentiveness” Noelle explained
“That’s too generous of you…” Alois reminded in worry and awe
“Please enjoy, after all, it’s your first meal here as a new visitor and your last, I wouldn’t want to give you the cold shoulder” Noelle said
“Huh?” Alois asked in shock before coughing “M-My last?!” Alois asked in shock only to begin choking for a moment “You give this meal to… All new visitors right?” Alois asked
“Remember, this one was made especially for you” Lumine explained
“Wait… Is it really my last meal?” Alois asked in worry
“Your last meal as a new visitor of course so enjoy” Twilight suggested
“Ah haha… So that’s what it means… Well then I better make the most of it…” Alois suggested nervously
“Noelle, do we have anything else on the itinerary?” Lumine asked
Noelle then turned to the group while the dish was being made
“How about ‘With Wind Comes Glory’? For our final stop I want to leave Mr. Alois with something to commemorate his time here” Noelle explained
“So… That’s the final stop, yes…?” Alois asked before he realized something “Wait… What are we commemorating?” Alois asked
“We’ll tell you later silly” Twilight answered
Soon the food was finished as the group ate it before they went to ‘With Wind Comes Glory’ where they noticed Marjolie giving Noelle something
“Oh, here’s your order Noelle” Marjolie said
“Thanks Marjolie” Noelle thanked before turning to Alois “Mr. Alois, please accept this souvenir” Noelle suggested
Noelle then gave Alois the wood carving as he then began chuckling nervously
“Eh-he, thanks, I will treasure this wood carving forev—” Alois started before he realized what he got “...Eh?” Alois asked in shock and confusion as he noticed what’s carved on the wood
“Wait, what’s on the… Is that… The insignia of the Knights of Favonius?” Alois asked
“I, maid Noelle, on behalf of Mondstadt and the Knights of Favonius officially welcome you!” Noelle answered
“Wait… Knights of Favonius? How can you be both a maid and a part of the Knights of Favonius?” Alois asked
“Well, to be fair, she’s a future Knight of Favonius, I mean, she’s been training a lot” Twilight explained
“So, this gift is also a…” Alois started
“This one was made especially for you” Lumine explained
“Wait… Is it really my last meal?” Alois asked in worry
“Your last meal as a new visitor of course so enjoy” Twilight suggested
“Ah haha… So that’s what it means… Well then I better make the most of it…” Alois suggested nervously
“Noelle, do we have anything else on the itinerary?” Lumine asked
Noelle then turned to the group while the dish was being made
“How about ‘With Wind Comes Glory’? For our final stop I want to leave Mr. Alois with something to commemorate his time here” Noelle explained
“So… That’s the final stop, yes…?” Alois asked before he realized something “Wait… What are we commemorating?” Alois asked
“We’ll tell you later silly” Twilight answered
Soon the food was finished as the group ate it before they went to ‘With Wind Comes Glory’ where they noticed Marjolie giving Noelle something
“Oh, here’s your order Noelle” Marjolie said
“Thanks Marjolie” Noelle thanked before turning to Alois “Mr. Alois, please accept this souvenir” Noelle suggested
Noelle then gave Alois the wood carving as he then began chuckling nervously
“Eh-he, thanks, I will treasure this wood carving forev—” Alois started before he realized what he got “...Eh?” Alois asked in shock and confusion as he noticed what’s carved on the wood
“Wait, what’s on the… Is that… The insignia of the Knights of Favonius?” Alois asked
“I, maid Noelle, on behalf of Mondstadt and the Knights of Favonius officially welcome you!” Noelle answered
“Wait… Knights of Favonius? How can you be both a maid and a part of the Knights of Favonius?” Alois asked
“Well, to be fair, she’s a future Knight of Favonius, I mean, she’s been training a lot” Twilight explained
“So, this gift is also a…” Alois started
“This gift is also a present from all four of us” Lumine explained
“Yes indeed!” Paimon answered with an excited look
“So it’s… A warning!” Alois called out in fright
“What are you talking about, of course it i—” Paimon started causing Twilight and Lumine to glare at her
“I’m afraid this is all I had time for… However, I hope it leaves you with a lasting impression of your trip to Mondstadt” Noelle said with a smile before turning around “Now then, if you wouldn’t mind accompanying me to the Knights of Favonius, the registration process only requires—” Noelle started
“Ah—! N-No need! I uhh… Suddenly I remember where I lost my luggage!” Alois realized
“Oh? Well then we should at least go and file a report with the knights—” Noelle started
“---Nope, not necessary! Now that the danger’s past I’ll just head over and retrieve it!” Alois explained
“How exactly do you know that?” Lumine asked angrily
“Yeah… What about the savage monsters…? For your protection, I feel strongly that one of our knights should escort you there” Noelle reminded
“Or… Perhaps it’s a little too soon but… I’ll escort you, let’s go!” Noelle suggested
“Ugh…” Alois grunted in defeat
“No need, allow us” Lumine said
“Yeah besides, I know where the luggage is” Twilight explained
“Oh? You two want to escort him yourselves?” Noelle asked in shock
“Yes but don’t worry, we’ll be fine!” Lumine said
“That would certainly put my mind at rest” Noelle said in relief “In that case, I’ll report the situation to Swan, let’s meet back at the gates of the city a little later” Noelle suggested
“Of course, we’ll be there before you know it” Twilight said
“Very well then, please take care of Mr. Alois” Noelle suggested
“Of course” Lumine said
The duo then walked off with Alois and when they crossed the bridge they turned to Alois and looked at him in anger which caused Alois to whimper in fright
“Okay, no further” Twilight suggested angrily
“So this is the end?” Alois asked worriedly
“We can’t see anyone around so you’ll be off on your own” Lumine said
“Meaning this is a good spot?!” Alois asked worriedly
“If you understand then nothing needs to be said” Lumine said angrily
“Yeah, you were Spike when he got jealous but ten times over! Why’s that?!” Twilight asked angrily
Alois then went to his knees and began begging while sobbing
“Archons above! Oh honorary Knight, please have mercy! Forgive me! I’ll confess! I’ll confess to everything!” Alois pleaded while sobbing
“Very well, then tell us the whole story from beginning to end” Lumine ordered
“I was planning to investigate Mondstadt’s Dandelion Wine to see if I could find a way to imitate it! I didn’t expect you two to see right through it from the start! Please! I-I never actually did anything! It’s attempted fraud at worst right? Tell me it isn’t punishable by death!” Alois pleaded worriedly
“Of course it isn’t! You just could’ve been arrested on the spot!” Twilight reminded angrily
“Is-Is it because you have no intention to try and hurt me at all…? Wh-Which explains why you didn’t expose me in the city, you simply chose a location to finish me!” Alois explained sadly
Twilight and Lumine then looked at each other before nodding and turning back to Alois
“Go!” Lumine ordered
“Go home and never return!” Twilight ordered
“Spare me noble kn— …Wh-What…? Go…? I can go? Really?” Alois asked in shock and confusion
“Yes which means no more scheming against Mondstadt” Lumine reminded
“Of… Of course! With you and the maid around, who would dare?” Alois reminded
“True” Twilight said angrily
“Still, change your ways and you are welcome to visit Mondstadt again” Lumine reminded
“Yes sir! I understand! Goodbye most honorable Honorary Knight!” Alois waved
Alois then walked off as Lumine sighed in relief
“Whew! Next time he does that I’m gonna go and get Jean!” Lumine said
“Or Rainbow” Twilight said
“Yeah but for now, let’s go meet up with Noelle” Lumine suggested
The group then walked back towards Mondstadt until they saw Noelle standing near the gates in worry
“Ah, girls, you’re back!” Noelle said in relief
“What took you so long?!” Paimon asked in anger
“Hehe, just handling some guy is all” Twilight answered
Noelle then noticed Alois wasn’t with them making her confused
“Eh? How come… Mr. Alois isn’t with you?” Noelle asked in confusion
“He left, we tried to say he shouldn’t leave but he did!” Lumine answered
“Left? Already? Left Mondstadt…?” Noelle asked in shock
“Yeah, sorry Noelle” Twilight apologized
“And I didn’t even get around to arranging his accommodations or introducing the wine merchants to him… I must have been… Negligent in some way… Did I leave him with a bad impression of Mondstadt…?” Noelle asked sadly
“No you didn’t, you were amazing” Lumine answered
“Then why else would he have left without a farewell…? Oh, I… I couldn’t even handle this smallest of tasks…” Noelle suggested
“Do we say it, or…?” Twilight asked
“Yeah” Lumine answered before turning to Noelle worriedly “He had a sinister plot so we drove him away” Lumine explained worriedly
“A plot? …So he was scheming this whole time?! How come Paimon didn’t know?!” Paimon asked
“We tried to tell you but you didn’t believe us” Twilight reminded
“Well, true” Paimon realized
“As expected, I’m still too naive…” Noelle said sadly
“And that’s why you two have the Honorary Knights to rely on in times of trouble…” Twilight reminded
Noelle then sighed in disbelief and sadness
“How can I ever become a real Knight of Favonius like this…?” Noelle asked sadly
“We’re not saying you’re bad at this, sure you may have made a mistake but we’re still here to help you in case there’s a few dangers here” Twilight explained
“Really?” Noelle asked
“Yeah, we may be mad at him and a bit at Paimon for not listening to us but the matter is, you helped us both gather more clues and that’s what makes you perfect! You may not be a Honorary Knight but just know that if you ever will you’ll have us to support you” Lumine said
“Yeah, so stay strong, believe in yourself and let your hope shine through!” Twilight said
“Thanks girls” Noelle thanked
