Genshin Impact, I, a weak person, am challenging myself to find a solution that will bring me lifelo

"Miss Barbara has always been very responsible." Sister Ibella's expression returned to the gentleness she had when they first met. She gave up her position on the armrest and said gently, "Then I should also leave tactfully. The church may have some work for me."

"Ah! I don't mean to blame Sister Ibella!"

Barbara waved her little hands quickly, with a shy look on her cute face.

"Haha. I understand what Miss Barbara means, but please don't forget to go back to the church on time for lunch."

After saying that, Sister Ibella turned towards the statue of the god of wind, silently said "let the wind guide you", and left.

"That Sister Ibella is really straightforward in her actions."

Youya watched her leisurely departure and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"Yeah. She doesn't mean any harm, she's just used to expressing her thoughts directly. I sometimes envy her style."

Barbara smiled sweetly, put her hands on the handlebars, and said in a soft voice.

"However, since she has returned Youya to me, it's time for you to see my style of doing things!"

As expected, although he was sensible enough to show his understanding and generosity, he actually still cared a little in his heart.

Youya listened to her humming a cheerful tune and pushed her into the corridor surrounding the square.

Looking out from this side, you will find that the statue is even bigger. It would probably take several of her to barely hug the legs of the statue.

There are some beautiful green plants at the foot of the statue, which is surrounded by a shallow pool of water.

It is the kind of classic scenic spot design that tricks people into believing that if they throw some coins in, their wishes will come true.

"Where is Barbara going to take me next?"

"Well, let's go around the square first, then pray to Lord Barbatos, and then it's almost time to go back."

Barbara seemed to consider that she had been out for a while and had no special arrangements.

"Is that so? Could you please take me there to have a look later?"

Youya pointed to the dark gray castle on the right side of the statue of the God of Wind, which is also the core location of Mondstadt, the Knights of Favonius.

Chapter 9 The World is Like You

"...Well, that might not be allowed. In principle, the Knights' base prohibits children from playing there without permission."

Barbara's expression changed a little, and her tone became more cautious.

"Hmm? Ah, I don't really want to go there to play. After all, it's too difficult to hide myself and my wheelchair."

Youya patted the wheelchair under her command and started making jokes in her own style again.

"It's just something I'm a little concerned about. Barbara, do you want to hear about it?"

"Of course, if Youya can tell me the reason..." Barbara hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe I can take you to the periphery for a walk."

"...Well, actually I just wanted to see from a distance how the Knights trained."

Youya smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"Why do you want to go and see how everyone trains?"

Barbara asked bluntly.

"My sister, Lawrence's eldest daughter, Sister Eula, has been busy with family trials recently. She usually trains very late and can only visit me, but... sometimes I don't know what to talk to her about."

Youya also looked at Barbara's face and spoke sincerely.

Being honest can help others gain their trust. More importantly,

"I think if I can go there and see how the knights train, maybe I won't have to ask Sister Eula to accommodate me all the time. I can also talk about things that interest her and get to know her better."

"Is that so..." Barbara's expression was filled with envy: "Youya and her sister have a very good relationship."

"Yes. Although Sister Eula and I are not biological sisters, she has always taken good care of me. Even if she is overwhelmed by schoolwork every day, she will still come to visit me."

The girl's eyes looked a little sadder.

"So, if I can, I would like to help her as much as I can."

Barbara gave him a complex look that showed sympathy and a bit of envy, and she seemed to understand this feeling very well.

And Youya continued, "Of course, if it would bother Barbara, there's no need to go there specially."

"can."

Barbara said suddenly.

"I believe that even Grand Commander Falga would not refuse Youya's request after knowing the reason!"

"really?"

Yuya's little face was slightly flushed, and her expression became more lively than before, and then she expressed her sincere gratitude.

"Thank you, Barbara. You are my best friend!"

She held Barbara's soft little hand, wanting to express her gratitude, but the excitement caused her to cough accidentally.

Barbara was also somewhat happy about Youya's reaction, but after her initial shyness, she became a little worried when she saw that Youya was coughing very uncomfortably.

"Yeah, are you okay?"

"Ahem - it's nothing, just emotions - ahem, a little too excited."

Youya covered her lips with one hand to prevent her saliva from splashing onto the other person's hand. Even though tears welled up in the corners of her eyes from coughing, she still tried her best to express herself.

"…Sorry, did I scare you?"

"I'm fine, but Youya looks like she's in pain..."

Barbara watched her with some concern.

"...Ahem, I'm fine. It just looks a little serious, but my body has almost gotten used to it..."

After calming down, Youya tried her best to maintain her previous indifferent expression, with only a gentle tone.

"Are you used to the pain?" Barbara looked at her with some pity, and soon put her hand on the handlebar again. As she walked, she said, "If Youya feels sad in the future, please tell me."

"Oh, is Barbara the messenger of God who saves the world?" Youya said in surprise, covering her mouth.

It seems that after chatting with Fischl, her influence will continue for a while.

"No, no!" Barbara shook her blushing face quickly after being praised, and then said solemnly: "I just think it is very uncomfortable to hold the pain in my heart. And I hope everyone can spend every day happily!"

"I see. This is a really great idea to shine like an idol."

Youya praised frankly.

"…Idol? Aren't the Seven Gods the ones that people worship? No! The point now is that Yuya is too exaggerated. When she's with me, she always praises me, and I feel a little embarrassed."

In fact, what Barbara heard more often was thanks from others. Although there were compliments, it was rare for her peers to praise her so directly.

This made her feel secretly happy, but she wanted to hide it. However, no matter what she did, she couldn't make the curve of her mouth shallower. She could only smile more brilliantly.

"Idols are people who can make people like them and make them happy. Just like Barbara now."

Youya tilted her head slightly.

"Anyone who can become an idol is amazing, and Barbara has the potential to become an idol master."

"Wow - I don't quite understand, but please stop praising me!"

Barbara quickened her pace, and the two of them came to the long steps on the right side of the square and then stopped.

The stairs were too long, and she couldn't push Youya down safely by herself, and the range of movement for patients stipulated by the church ended here.

She felt a little regretful, but Youya was also satisfied, as she could already get a glimpse of the people who were training below.

There were wooden targets hanging on several straw dummies, and some overlapping chevaux de frise were arranged in a line.

However, it seemed that because it was the time when the Knights were on duty, there were only three, or two and a half children training there.

A girl with blonde hair that was a bit darker than Barbara's. A boy with fiery red hair, holding a wooden training sword in both hands.

The other "half" brown-skinned boy, although also wearing training clothes, did not join in. Instead, he lay on the stacked wooden boxes, yawning out of boredom.

These were the three “childhood friends” she would meet later.

"Oh wow - you're trying really hard."

Although I had expected it, this kind of scenery that seemed like something from another world really made me feel surprised.

Youya looked at the blonde girl and red-haired boy who were exercising diligently. Although they were still at an age where it was difficult to call them teenagers, the integrity and courage revealed in their every move could not be faked.

Are these just the reserve knights?

A true knight could carry her and her wheelchair up and down the stairs with one hand, which would be easier than drinking water.

It's really an enviable physique...

However, Barbara's behavior was a little strange. She seemed to have met an acquaintance, but was too embarrassed to speak directly.

If I remember correctly, according to the information provided by Mr. Voice, Barbara and the heroic quasi-knight girl below are sisters.

However, judging from the tone of her voice just now, which showed her envy of herself and Sister Eula, could it be that the relationship between the two of them is not very good?

This is worth noting...

Having made up her mind, Youya pretended to be calm and said, "Hey, Barbara, did you see that? The girl down there is amazing!"

Chapter 10: Separated Sisters

"...Sister, ahem, she is, after all, a daughter of an ancient knight family. She trains very hard and has talent. She is indeed considered excellent..."

Although the formulaic cough at the beginning seemed suspicious, Barbara still tried her best to maintain a normal expression, but her tone still carried a hint of loneliness.

"Does Barbara know her name?"

Youya leaned forward slightly and looked at the blonde girl who was training hard below. The wooden sword in her hand made a faint sound when she swung it, but it was not purely an exercise of brute force, but rather had a certain agility and elegance of the wind.

Is it closer to what European court nobles would call swordsmanship that is both enjoyable and entertaining?

"Okay, I think her name is Qin..."

Barbara felt even more guilty.

This performance also made Youya determine what to do next. After saying "So that's how it is", she looked at the other two boys with the same interested look.

"So, what about the other two?"

"Ah, they are the Leggenfend brothers. The one with red hair is Diluc Leggenfend, and the one with blue hair seems to be called...Kaeya?"

When these two people were mentioned, Barbara's originally flustered expression calmed down again, and she began to explain the story to Youya in detail.

"Their father is none other than Master Cripps. Dad would sometimes drink with him. He would occasionally come to the church to pray on his days off and would also host banquets and invite us to the winery. But we have rarely seen him recently."

"Barbara knows so many people, that's amazing..."

Youya raised her head and looked at Barbara, whose face was serious. She was not caught off guard by the compliment like before, but naturally reached out and pinched her face.

"Youya is praising people again. It's just common sense."

"...But, I've never seen them in person before today." She continued as Barbara moved, "Although I seem to have heard others talk about them, it feels like I'm living in two different worlds from them. If it weren't for Barbara, I would definitely continue to live this life without a sense of existence."

From Barbara's perspective, the cherry-red lips of the delicate girl in front of her opened and closed slightly.

"When you think about it this way, Barbara is like the center of the world. Everyone is attracted to you."

"—!"

The little girl, who was originally a little sad, quickly became shy and happy again after hearing these words.

The hand that was pinching her cheek also turned into gentle rubbing.

"Really... Youya always says embarrassing things like this all the time. She will definitely become the kind of street bard that my father always talks about."

"If that happens, I will definitely add 'My friend is Barbara' in the opening remarks before singing the story to attract enough attention."

"Ouch! Don't really do that!"

"Hehe, thinking about it this way makes me feel eager to grow up."

There was a hint of longing in Youya's eyes that Barbara could not understand.

"Although I always feel that it's a bit strange to grow up with this as a goal, my father said that as long as we don't do bad things and treat others sincerely, we will be able to grow up safely and smoothly and become the person we want to be."

Barbara answered seriously.
