"Tomorrow the church will deliver a batch of wine for the ceremony. How about going there to talk to a nun?"
Kaia stretched out his hand and used his index and middle fingers to form a walking human leg, then strolled across the table.
"You can ask indirectly then. As for me, I will sneak into the second floor to find Miss Barbara."
"Wouldn't that be too reckless?"
Diluk folded his arms.
"If you come into the other party's sight, it might alert the enemy."
"That's true... If I ruin the adults' plan, I won't be able to find an excuse, so how about..."
Kaiya's eyes narrowed as he smiled, like a little fox, cunning and making people feel that he is a bad guy.
"How about I pretend to be sick and sneak in? That way, I'm sure they won't get suspicious. After all, it's normal to accidentally sprain your hand or hurt your leg during daily exercise."
Diluk always felt that something was wrong with the suggestions made before and after, but when he thought about it carefully, he thought that his brother would not deceive him about such a thing.
In the end, he, still a teenager, agreed to Kaia's proposal. This was not the first time the two had worked together.
After the decision was made, Diluk immediately said, "Since we are going to adopt this plan, we must disguise it to the point where no one will suspect us—"
"Wait...what you mean is..." Kaiya's expression froze when he heard that.
"It just so happens that you've been a little tired from training recently, so let's have a long-awaited sparring match."
Diluk patted the wooden sword hanging at his waist with a warm and hearty smile.
"Ha... a good kid like you actually has such a dark side?"
Although he complained, Kaia put on a carefree smile again.
"In that case, I have to respond to you properly. But don't underestimate me, or you will be shocked when you see my true strength."
These words immediately aroused Diluk's fighting spirit, and the two walked out to the training ground prepared for them by their father Cripps not far from the tavern.
After performing the chivalry salute, the sparring began.
Subsequently,
Kaia lost magnificently.
Looking at the slender one-handed sword resting on the side of his face, he raised his hands in a somewhat amusing and helpless manner.
"Hey, hey - you are really impatient. You attacked so quickly right away that I couldn't resist at all."
"…That's why I told you to train hard. How can my father and I trust you with your mediocre skills? Especially since you like to make threats before a fight, be careful that you get beaten up."
Diluk, who also held his forehead with a helpless look, let out a sigh, then moved the sword away from the opponent's side and reached out to Kaeya.
"Can you still stand up?"
“Of course. As the saying goes, it’s better to lose the battle than the fight—” Kaeya shook his brother’s hand, then patted his butt and stood up, panting and saying, “This is the Liyue slang I heard from that respectable captain of the scout knights.”
"That old senior..." Diluk was very respectful of Mr. An, the senior senior of the Knights, who founded the organization of scout knights. "If I remember correctly, he will be back soon, right?"
"Yes, this month's field reconnaissance mission has been completed. I believe they have returned with valuable intelligence."
Kaia shrugged.
"But I guess he'll have to pay for the trouble his lovely little Amber caused."
"Did you poke the neighbor's bird's nest again this time, or did you burn the leaves on the grass slime's head?"
Diluk was impressed by the naughty girl.
"Haha. Of course it's both! I hope she doesn't pull out the 'flowers' I planted on the roof."
"You guys...are you actually growing Mufeng mushrooms? These are fungi, right?"
"Don't you think its canopy looks like a flower?"
"Just because it looks like a flower doesn't mean... No, forget it. If I want to convince you, it's better to use this."
As Kaeya's expression gradually became grim, Diluk raised the one-handed sword in his hand again and smiled.
"Well, we should continue - this injury won't fool the nun."
“Hmm, Aaaaaaah——!”
His voice startled a snow-white sparrow, which flew over the little boys, with their silhouettes reflected in its pupils, and then flapped its wings.
It flew to a more comfortable position, landed on the palm of the statue of the God of Wind, tilted its head slightly, and looked at the two girls in the square who were also a little special.
"Ah, I accidentally looked at it for too long. Now I'm going to be lectured by Sister Ibella."
Barbara stuck out her tongue, looking a little pitiful.
"Just tell Sister Ibella the truth that I asked Barbara to accompany you to watch the training."
Youya said comfortingly.
"No! We were supposed to go together, but you let Yuya take the responsibility alone. That's not how we act as friends."
Barbara tapped the girl in front of her on the forehead, looking annoyed.
But he was soon amused by Youya's calm voice of "It hurts".
The girls' laughter and joy are still the same as before.
Only the bird that landed on the statue of the god of wind stroked its wings, its body trembling slightly, and after puffing up its tail feathers, it flew comfortably away.
Only a light breeze blew by, picking up the seeds left by the birds and spreading them far away.
Under the statue of the god of wind, a bard was singing an old-fashioned song that he had heard from somewhere.
——Seeds, sprout quickly and keep growing.
When you produce the first bright and beautiful apple, please allow me to pick it.
Because I will sing for you this sweetness and the psalms of the harvesters.
Chapter 13: One thought can fill the space.
Lunch break.
Barbara was an intern prayer pastor. In addition to helping take care of the patients, she also had some theological knowledge to learn, so she didn't stay with Youya all the time.
I helped her get lunch at noon and chatted with her for a while. After agreeing to visit her again later, I left humming a cheerful tune.
Youya had time to think about what to do next and analyze the situation this morning.
What Mr. Voice instilled in her was more about the other person's current status, personality, and background information, and how to change their future life trajectory.
To be honest, she was still confused, but it seemed that the only concept she could use was "death".
However, playing with death can make others sad and even lead them away from the established path of life.
Is this really the right thing to do?
She lowered her eyes slightly, looking at the overly delicate hands. The bandages on them were new ones that Barbara had changed for her and they had a faint scent of medicine.
Taking advantage of others' care and love for me to achieve my goals will gradually make her become cold and heartless in the days to come.
Or... start competing on how to use this "death" to achieve the best effect?
Must her new life be built on something like this...
And, that was seven times.
The girl was in a state of hesitation.
And as if to give her motivation, the voice in her head told her again.
This is Yuya's wish.
There are always such small and silent beings in the world.
The obsession he had before his death was enough to attract the attention of the gods, but before they could light up their eyes, he passed away sadly.
These people who once lived hope to be remembered by others.
Instead of dying quietly in the corner and eventually being swept into the pile of useless memories, many years later, it faces the true death - being forgotten.
If she cannot accept this, she can also choose to live the life she wants in the remaining time.
Mr. Voice will not interfere with this.
...This corresponds to God’s “vision” and belongs to His “mercy.”
No matter what, the girl must make a decision, because this is something that everyone who is alive needs to face.
Of course, as a reminder -
There is more than one way to make others regret for the rest of their lives: death is the only way.
That is the result of sublimation, not the only answer.
After thinking this through, the girl regrouped and began to think again about what she had gained this morning.
From their interactions, we can tell that Barbara's attitude towards her sister, Jean, is not one of disgust or aversion.
Is it more of an indescribable embarrassment?
She would feel at a loss as to what to say or do when she met the other person or made eye contact.
When thinking about the family relationship between Barbara and Jean, their divorced parents each have a child, and the blood-related sister relationship is facing challenges for various reasons.
If left alone, perhaps Barbara would choose to escape and continue to live a life of "just watching her sister from afar".
She had no way of judging whether this was the right approach, but she could see it in Barbara's eyes.
Barbara liked her sister and wanted to chat with her.
As for Miss Qin, we still don’t know what her attitude towards Barbara is, but considering her personality and family relationships... maybe she also feels some guilt towards Barbara and wants to compensate her?
She can then try to bring the sisters, who were separated by their parents, back together.
This probably also meets the requirement of changing the other person's established life trajectory.
...and, if possible, she needed to ensure that the consequences of causing them lifelong regrets would not destroy their reconciliation.
That’s all I have to say about Barbara and Jean for now.
The next thing to consider is the issue of Diluk Leggenfond and Kaeya Alberitch.
According to the information provided by Mr. Voice, Diluk, as the elder brother, is enthusiastic and cheerful, and has been working hard to fulfill his father's expectations. His adopted brother Kaeya is also an outgoing and talkative person, but he seems to pursue more fun in life. However, his information also records that he is a spy sent by Kanrea to Mondstadt.
Considering the identity of the other party's sworn brother and the fact that the person who adopted him was Master Cripps, the person in charge of half of Mond's wine industry.
I always feel that it will be involved in some past conspiracy or something.
Youya twirled the ends of her wavy hair and frowned in distress.
She is not some otaku heroine. Can she really achieve her goal against these two boys who wouldn't be surprising if they were thrown into an otaku game?
Besides, what can attract them about me?
Although she had been staying in the ward, she had read some mainstream stories about villains and a lot of miscellaneous books, but...
I am not the other person's fiancé, and we have no relationship at all. I don't even know what type of girls he likes. Considering Lawrence's popularity in Mond, how can I approach him?
What should we do after contacting them to build a good relationship with them?
With my weak body, even if I wanted to get started with their interests, I'm afraid I wouldn't have a place to stand over there.
Ah, of course, she couldn't stand up herself.
Thinking about some self-deprecating jokes, Youya's mind wandered a little and her gaze turned towards the windowsill.
The bright afternoon sun shines into the room from there, and the faint light dust floats in the air, which brings out the unique incense healing spirit of the church.
She gradually half-closed her eyes and sleepiness surged into her brain.
After the first half of the day, the already weak young body was protesting the need for rest.
"...When you encounter difficulties, take a deep sleep. Maybe you will have inspiration when you wake up."
She lay down against the warm quilt, buried her face in the soft pillow, and soon fell asleep.
Then, a dream came quietly.
It's just that it has nothing to do with the inspiration she is looking for, but belongs to the memory of "Yuya".
In the hall that could not conceal its past splendor, a slender figure was dancing.
