"Instead of letting her leave quietly, why not try your best to bloom one last time? At least that won't be the end of the dream for both you and her, right?"

"...Yuya's thoughts, if it was her..."

Amber whispered.

The morning of the Wind Flower Festival came back to my mind again.

The breakfast carefully prepared by grandpa, the anticipated Wind Flower Festival, and... the silent girl who seemed to be just dozing off.

Obviously, they were looking forward to the Wind Flower Festival more than anyone else, and they had agreed to have a good time together, but they broke their promise.

In the end, everything that belonged to her was frozen behind that cold and silent tombstone.

Why……

Why did Youya have to suffer such an injustice...

And why was I deprived of even the right to grow up normally...

At that age, how could Amber forget her best friend after seeing her leave in such a regrettable way?

Therefore, Amber learned her enthusiasm and liveliness, and took over from Youya to take care of everyone whose temperament had changed drastically.

That's why she felt unreasonable resentment towards Kaia when he exposed her secrets.

From the beginning to the end, there was not a single person who had not walked out.

Whether it was Eula, Master Diluk, Kaeya, or even Captain Jean and Barbara...

While she should have been encouraging everyone to work hard to move forward, she was holding on to her past thoughts and "dreams" and was unwilling to let go.

Because I don’t want to admit it, I don’t want to... lose “her” again.

I will never have the chance to express the feelings I want to convey.

We can only express our love through the lovely language of flowers.

Whether it represents the "excessive longing" of the dandelion or the "unspeakable voice" of the windmill daisy.

All of this has already been made clear.

That tiny, newly budding emotion has nowhere to rely on, and can only cling to the past.

finally--

Amber made her choice under Albedo's gaze.

Chapter of the Little Rabbit - Act I: Wind, Courage and Wings (End)

——That was a past that belonged to her, to Amber.

On the road to pursuing her dreams, she always falls and gets hurt, but then she stands up again, faces others with the best smile, and says loudly, "It's OK!"

Because she doesn't want to cry anymore, and there is no one who can comfort her anymore.

Whether it's a friend or a grandfather...

They all left silently, and she didn't want to imagine that possibility, so she never gave up looking for her grandfather.

More importantly, so as not to forget.

"I want to fly into the sky. To meet all kinds of people and experience all kinds of stories..."

Amber always thought so in the quiet late night.

Although she will definitely encounter some bad things, she still doesn't want to give up and wants to understand this world.

Of course, this includes Youya’s share.

So, at night, I would weave broom hair with the animal hair I collected while out scouting during the day, and in my spare time, I would go to the timber market where my grandfather used to go to purchase suitable wood.

Putting them together, each one looked like a new Count Rabbit, with little red rabbit ear headbands and her origami blue cranes tied on the handles.

Finally, it’s about choosing the right weather.

She took off at the highest point of the Knights, but because of the stronger firepower, she crashed into the windmill. Fortunately, she landed on a pile of flour bags.

She also prayed for Vanessa's blessing in the wind-washed field and tried to fly by hitting the wind slime, but was hung upside down by the inflated wind slime for a long time and was rescued by the patrolling Eula.

She was still in the center of the lake guarding the statue, and was suddenly rushed into the sky by the shock wave of the Dudu bomb. At that moment, she seemed to vaguely see Youya's face.

Before they knew it, the little scout knight had spread his footsteps all over Mondstadt.

However, Amber still did not give up and kept moving forward with her back to the small grave.

Maybe, I can’t see it now, but one day, I will definitely find it——

In their little dreams, there must be a paradise.

There will be no sickness or sadness there.

It’s just as beautiful as the fairyland that Sandang described.

She wanted to find it for her.

Until I can't go on anymore.

Among countless failures, she had seen the sky dyed with the afterglow of the sunset, boundless and yearning.

I have fantasized about what the end of the sky is, and I have also left my own footprints in the places where Youya has been in the past, as if I was approaching her little by little.

Among them are treasures that she has preserved to this day.

On the beach of Fruit Wine Lake, the conch shell that she once gave to everyone seemed to be washed up by the waves.

This was her little secret, and for some reason it contained some of the girl's words.

"——This is a shame for my sister, and this miracle of "starting over again" is also what I dream of. "

Just as she thought, Youya really wanted it, really wanted to fulfill her dream.

Now, following in her footsteps, Amber felt extremely happy to learn about her persistence in her dream.

The determination to fulfill Youya's dream was engraved in my heart from that moment on.

That's why she keeps persisting even if others think she's stupid.

From the joy of finding a new conch shell to the disappointment of seeing one flying broom after another fail in testing.

During this period, Amber was often injured and was advised by Barbara not to do such risky things again.

until that day.

She also came to the Wine Lake. She was dejected because of the failed takeoff and had to think about finding the conch to restore her mentality.

But I picked up that one unexpectedly.

The conch shell that truly holds the girl's words of dreams.

"I hope... everyone can always remember me."

It turned out to be just her wishful thinking.

Flying high has never been Youya’s dream, but it was just her goal at that time.

Only she has always regarded this as a dream and is unwilling to give up.

No wonder Eula was so angry with her at that time.

Because she had never really thought about Youya's thoughts, nor did she understand the true meaning of that dream, she always demanded herself with her own obsession.

I even got hurt repeatedly because of this and never considered my friends' feelings at all.

Doing this would not make Youya happy at all, and this was not her dream.

That night, Amber's heart was extremely confused, and she couldn't help but have discouraging thoughts.

Her journey to chase the end of the sky had just begun, but she heard such news.

Because of this worry and restlessness, she was accidentally distracted while out on a reconnaissance mission. Although she completed the mission, she was seriously injured.

It can be said that her life seemed to have hit rock bottom. If she had not been rescued in time, she would have had to bid farewell to her career as a scout knight.

Even so, she still vaguely remembered herself at that time, facing the worried look of Captain Qin when he came to visit her, and she still forced a silly smile.

Say things like “Hey, I got distracted!”, “I will definitely complete the task better next time!”, “Don’t worry about me so much!”.

Only she herself knew that those were just stupid words to deceive herself.

If she doesn't wake up from this, the next mission might be the end of her career as a scout knight.

But Amber couldn't stop now, forget about it, and return to her previous life.

There was still some wood left after purchasing, and a lot of animal hair was bought from Qingquan Town.

No matter if it was just one or two, she had to keep going until she made a real flying broom.

Even if that is not Youya's dream, she must move forward while she is still able to act.

therefore……

Amber began the cycle of constant testing and injuries, each time more serious than the last, to a degree that even frightened another unfortunate adventurer.

He asked her why she did such a dangerous thing.

Just like himself, if it weren't for his yearning for adventure, he should not have continued in this industry with such bad luck.

Amber just answered him that it would be even more stupid to stop moving forward because of the fear of getting hurt.

This greatly encouraged the young adventurer, and from then on they began to meet each other frequently in the hospital.

However, only Amber knew that if she stopped now, the memories of her beautiful childhood would decay with the passage of time.

Finally...it turned into a cold, silent grave.

No one will remember her.

She doesn't want this.

Therefore, continuing to pursue this dream became the only thing she could do.

The same goes for grandpa. The reason why he doesn't want to come back is probably because there are things he must do, things that only he can do.

She wants to be such a person with her own persistence, yes...

Even though she is weak and insignificant...it has only been her wishful thinking from the beginning to the end, she will rely on this belief to survive!

There must be something "only I would do" and there must be something "only I can achieve".

And so, Amber survived that period.

Then, I met myself today.

……

The wind of freedom blew across her face, the red rabbit ear headband swayed continuously, and the entire fruit wine lake was reflected in her eyes.

The experience of riding alone on a flying broomstick was special and something she missed very much.

Those thoughts that disappeared with the wind quietly resonated with her heart.

I want to go to a farther world, I want to see the end of the sky, I want to... accompany her forever.

Then, when dusk fell, the little girl also fell into the wine lake and was washed ashore by the waves.

Ying and Paimon looked at her worriedly, but Amber felt more relieved than ever before and laughed heartily.

"Did you see that? She and I flew together, just like we did before!"

There were also drops of water that looked like tears in that smile.

"Can I ask you to remember all this with me, remember her..."

In response to her, the two of them promised to never leave each other.

……

Higher up, on the top of the cliff, you can overlook the entire Wine Lake.

Diluk silently withdrew his gaze, walked to the white grave, and gently placed a bunch of windmill chrysanthemums.

And Albedo, who was standing behind him, also spoke at the right time.

"So, does the windmill chrysanthemum really have another meaning? The so-called unexpressible feelings."

"If you want to know, you should go find Kaia and buy him a few more drinks. That man has a bad drinking habit and will tell you when he's drunk."
