"Huh? Why?"
Youya looked at the wooden door in confusion, which was just big enough for one person to pass through.
It is not an exaggeration to describe the social personalities of these two people as respecting the elderly and loving the young, and being harmonious and friendly. How could they fight over a small wooden door?
"Uh... I, I wanted my sister, Miss Qin to go first, but she also wanted me to go first, so we were stuck for a moment."
Although Barbara's expression was a little strange, her explanation was straightforward.
"It turns out to be just such a small matter!"
When Qin heard this, her eyes widened a little, and then she drooped her eyelashes with a little disappointment.
She couldn't quite believe that the girl in front of her would say such an unsympathetic thing.
However, her next action surprised the two of them.
"Then let me start first! As the saying goes, the disabled should go first." Youya pushed her wheelchair forward and pushed open the wooden door. The bartender Charles was on duty inside.
She turned around and smiled brightly at the two people who were stunned: "If you don't mind, how about accompanying me upstairs? After all, I can't lift the wheelchair and walk up by myself. As a reward, I will treat you to freshly mixed apple wine--"
When we entered Angel's Gift, there was no one drunk, but there were several tables of people having a drink, and several of them were drinking her masterpiece.
Barbara was the first to move behind him, followed by Qin.
The bartender Charles also nodded slightly after seeing Youya. Although he was always a little serious, he was gentle towards the girl.
"Master Diluk and Kaeya are out. Before they left, they told me that if Miss Yuya arrives, I can go upstairs and wait for them. The materials will be delivered later."
In addition to working from home, Youya has actually decided to come to the pub occasionally as a way of checking attendance.
However, due to the popularity of various fruit-flavored drinks, the ingredients here are often in short supply and need to be purchased.
Now I have finally caught up with this opportunity.
However, it also left space for her to chat with Barbara and Sister Qin. Lucky!
The girl nodded with a smile, then declined his request to help carry her up, and instead looked at Jean and Barbara.
The two were still a little at a loss. They were certainly not regular customers of the tavern. In fact, this was their first time there.
It was also because I heard that Youya's new drinks were well received, and I came here with the idea of supporting my friend, but in the end I met each other...
In short, although the two are not as fearful as tigers, it still takes some time for them to adapt.
And Youya was just about to act as the lubricant. She patted the chair arms and looked at them with a wicked smile.
"So, are you going to carry me up there, or are you going to be so unromantic as to carry me and the wheelchair up there together?"
Barbara shyly glanced at her sister who had not yet expressed her opinion, and whispered, "Let me carry Youya. It's too dangerous and inconvenient to carry a wheelchair up the stairs."
"Then let me take care of the wheelchair."
Qin followed suit and tried her best to appear to be on the side of her younger sister, giving off a sense of being Eula's older sister.
Speaking of this, as a sister-con, will she really not lead her sister Qin, who also has the same tendency, astray?
While rehearsing the little drama in her mind and enjoying Barbara's long-lost soft embrace, Youya had already figured out how to "defeat the enemy" next.
Chapter 124: There’s nothing you can do about being afraid of death, right?
"Welcome to my territory—"
After letting Barbara put her down, Youya sat upright on her favorite high-legged chair, leaning her arms on the table, just like those wealthy women in the movies, and invited the two men.
"What would you two like to drink?"
"Eh? Didn't you say you would treat us to apple cider?"
"...Yes, we are not old enough to drink yet. Let's just drink apple wine. It shouldn't be too much trouble for you, right?"
Qin still worries too much as always.
"Don't worry, I'm not responsible for selling alcohol here. After all, cats can't drink this."
Youya raised the corners of her mouth slightly, making her smile look as cunning as a cat.
Besides, it would be too boring to just make two cups of apple cider. Not only would it be finished quickly, but I would also have to face the awkward situation of them looking at each other in silence.
She needed to guide the two people slowly step by step.
"What I offer is something more customized. You all know what a bartender does. It's pretty much the same thing!"
"Are you planning to be a bartender in the future, Youya?"
Barbara cared more about this than what to drink.
How should I put it? It’s a bit worrying that friends of the same age suddenly enter the wine industry.
In Mond, countless people are admitted to the church hospital every year due to alcohol poisoning caused by excessive drinking, or due to injuries caused by conflicts caused by dissatisfaction with each other.
Barbara was very worried that this kind of working environment would have a bad influence on Youya, such as learning to use bad words, or her current frivolous, street-urchin-like tone, or even - she might be exposed to dangerous people!
People from all walks of life gather in taverns, even people like treasure-stealing groups prefer to go to such places to collect intelligence or do something else.
Barbara, who had heard many cases from her father since she was a child, was deeply worried and was ready to persuade Youya. Even Qin became a little worried.
"Youya, are you not going to be a knight? I remember the Grand Commander said that you can be exempted from the practical test and directly join the Eighth Squad for internship."
"Ah... Please don't laugh at me if I tell you about this."
Yuya pretended to look away embarrassedly.
"If you have any difficulties, please tell me!"
Barbara clenched her little pink fists and spoke seriously.
"Even if I'm useless, I can still ask dad for help. I'll definitely help Youya out of this predicament."
"Me too... Mother also told me to work with you more often so that we can learn from each other. If Yuya needs anything, please let me know."
The same is true for the piano.
The sisters' high degree of unanimity at this moment somewhat eased the awkward atmosphere previously.
As they looked at Youya together, the girl smiled with relief.
"Okay, okay. Actually, it's not that serious. I'm just simply afraid of death..."
These words made Qin stunned, and she looked at her in disbelief.
Even Barbara heard such "submissive" words from her for the first time. It was obvious that no matter what kind of criticism and difficulties she faced in the past, Youya was always able to face them optimistically and cheerfully.
But now, facing the hurdle that I have already overcome, I feel timid and unable to take another step.
This is something that Barbara, the descendant of Simon, an adventurer from the Honorary Continent, cannot understand or imagine.
"why?"
She asked subconsciously.
"…Although I feel that I was more, uh… excited at the time, but actually, even now when I think about it, I still feel a little scared."
Youya answered awkwardly, twisting the ends of her hair.
"After all, an experience like this, almost dying in a dragon's mouth, is probably a rare way for people to die, and I still have so many things to do. If I really continue to do this in the future, sooner or later I will have to face more dangerous things because of this responsibility, right?"
"...You're right." Qin said in a deep voice.
The reason why knights are bathed in glory and admired by others is that they need to sacrifice themselves when facing this kind of danger.
Even sacrificing one's life for it would not be too much.
"So, before realizing your dream, it should be forgivable not to take on this noble responsibility for the time being, right?"
The girl forced a smile and said somewhat dejectedly.
"Besides, I don't want to make Sister Eula worry. She has always cared about me, from the beginning..."
When everyone was immersed in the excitement of defeating the evil dragon Ursa, no one seemed to have ever thought that the person involved would be in such an ordinary and normal mood.
It's normal for Youya, who always stands out in other ways, to have such human nature.
I feel like I understand her better.
He is no longer the saint who is always glamorous and never afraid of challenges.
Barbara held the girl's hand, looked at her tenderly, and whispered: "I am the same as Youya. Even if I want to fight, I don't have the talent for it.
That's why I chose to become a prayer minister. I thought that I could help everyone with logistics, and that's what I could do.
I believe that Yuya must be the same. No one can accuse Yuya of being a coward. Everyone has their own suitable position, right? "
Her eyes were so pure that Youya felt a little humble.
And Qin once again experienced another feeling from this timidity.
The Gunhild family has protected Mondstadt for generations. They have never retreated, nor have they refused to face challenges. Instead, they have carried out their will to the end and passed it down from generation to generation.
But is it true that everyone among them is as strong as steel and iron, and has never wavered?
Qin didn't know...but history had already placed the answer in front of her.
The words "Protect Mond" have never been as impressive to her as they are today.
She once again realized how shallow and shameful she was in the past. She only focused on physical training but never started from the heart to observe and help those around her.
That's why when Youya said that, not only did I not feel sorry for her, but I thought that Youya should be like this...
More importantly, from this, we can also see that the relationship between sisters Youya and Youla is much deeper than that between her and Barbara.
They are interdependent and indispensable.
However, there was a lack of such an opportunity to establish an emotional connection between her and Barbara.
No...even if it appeared, she wouldn't know how to control it.
She took a deep breath, stared at Youya, and said, "Barbara is right, the Knights are not fools, and they cannot force children to become soldiers.
Keeping you safe and seeing your vision come to fruition is our top priority.”
Chapter 125: Yearning, Confusion, and Loneliness
In the end, Youya felt a little embarrassed to be stared at with such caring eyes, so she had to respond vaguely and brought the topic back to the fruit drinks.
Barbara ordered a glass of iced juice, while Qin ordered the "Love Poem" that her mother had praised before.
The former is a new product launched recently, while the latter is also a popular drink among ladies and girls.
It is not difficult to make, except that the materials for making love poems are okay, but the hook-hook fruit looks a bit stale.
Although with Youya's unique talent, the final product will still far exceed the level of those sold in the tavern.
But now I can take advantage of this topic to make some comments -
She straightened up again, looking a little apologetic.
"Oh, sorry. Barbara, the hook fruit doesn't seem to work. Could you please try another one?"
"Ah, that's okay. Let's have the raspberry mint drink!"
Barbara naturally didn't have many thoughts of loss, but quickly ordered a new cup. While mixing the drink, Youya said sadly: "The market for hook-hook fruit seems to be a little unstable recently. I heard from Brother Kaiya that there are some bad rumors in the Wolf Territory-"
This sentence instantly caught Qin's attention.
"Did something happen?"
Barbara also cast a curious look. She usually stayed in the church, which was not a good place for gossip.
Although she could occasionally listen to the patients' conversations and learn about the latest trends, she went there to study, not to listen to gossip!
Youya is obviously very troubled at the moment, so in order to help, she must participate.
"Yes. You should also know that hook-hook fruits generally only grow in the Wolf Territory, right?"
Youya spoke slowly according to the script in her mind.
"That's right. And it's a unique product of Mondstadt."
Jean nodded.
These fruits are different from the wind-blown mushrooms. Their spores may be blown by the wind to distant places and take root, but the hook-hook fruits are mostly carried by humans and animals before leaving their place of origin, and it is extremely difficult to achieve mass production, as if there is something missing in the land for their growth.
Therefore, in most cases, if you want to get these specialties, you need to hire people to go to Benlang Territory to collect them, but to be honest, it is very dangerous for ordinary people there.
