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

"Yeah, if you take weight into account, there have actually been quite a lot of changes. Maybe there will be a surprise when I measure my height next time!"

"Haha. Yuya is really obsessed with growing up. She doesn't seem happy at all about becoming an adult, and always worries about various troubles every day."

Yula felt satisfied just by looking at her like this.

"So Sister Eula doesn't want to grow up?"

"...No, I just don't want to be that annoying adult."

"Oh - I feel like when Sister Eula grows up, she will definitely become a mature, steady beauty who is good at drinking!"

After changing the subject, Youya seemed very happy.

"Is this something you learned from that strange adult?"

"No, it's just something I felt."

"I see. I can't imagine what I will be like when I grow up."

"I think this is not bad. Sister Eula's future has many possibilities. It's like a dream."

After gently rubbing the girl's head, pouring warm water on it, and then rushing away the bubbles as if she couldn't bear to break her sister's fantasy, Eula said.

"I heard that dreams are the opposite of what they are."

"In other words, in the future, Sister Eula might also become a drunk beauty who says one thing and means another and falls down after drinking a few glasses of wine?"

“…Although I’m happy that Yuya thinks I’ll become a beauty no matter what, I feel like my future will be completely hopeless if it turns out like that.”

"Sister Eula is really strict with herself."

Youya closed her eyes and waited until she had dried her hair before speaking again.

"However, it is indeed too early to think about these distant things now."

"Yes, dreaming about the future won't keep you full. You still have to focus on the present and complete your plans step by step."

"Then, can you please add a small request of mine?"

"Of course, Youya can tell me whatever you want to do."

Although it might be that Sister Youla said it on a whim...but, Youya still felt happy.

The joy that came from the bottom of her heart made her whisper back, "When I feel better, let's go to the beach together. As long as we lie side by side, we can see our growth at a glance! By then, I want to make a wish--"

"But which god should we, descendants of sinners, make a wish to?"

Eula asked with some interest.

"The gods are probably very busy and can't listen to every child's worries."

Youya supported her hands on the tiles, then leaned back slightly to make it easier for Sister Youla to wipe.

"So, let's make a wish to the Wine Lake. The ever-flowing waves will surely bring our wishes to you.

If the wish comes true, it will be as beautiful as the waves rolling forward in the sun. "

"What if one day the waves hit the rocks or simply break on the beach?"

Youya opened her eyes and looked at her sister Youla with complicated eyes, revealing a gentle smile.

“Even if the wave ends up ‘stranded’ on the beach, it will leave a trace just like the sand pit where we lay, right? I think that’s enough.”

——The waves wrap up the wishes, the thousands of winds guide the voyage, and finally leave marks on the white sand.

It will turn into small footprints belonging to her and them.

Or maybe?

Wheelchair tracks?

Chapter 19: Leg Disease (Additional Chapter 9)

After coming out of the bathhouse, Youya, who had become soft and fragrant, sat in a wheelchair, with clothes that needed to be washed and some removable old bandages on her knees.

Eula was responsible for pushing her forward slowly. Looking at the little head shaking gently in front of her, she was also in a happy mood.

"It feels so good after taking a shower. It would be even better if I could take a bath next time."

The girl's tone was full of longing, but Eula couldn't fulfill her ordinary little wish and could only remind her.

"Not yet. Some of Youya's wounds haven't healed yet. If you don't take good precautions, the infection could be very serious."

"Then how long will Youya have to wait for her to get better?"

"Well, because the injury is to the head, out of caution, you need to stay in the hospital for two weeks for observation. We have just completed the first week, and next we will have a routine physical examination to see how your recovery is going."

"Ah, I think I've heard Barbara talk about this."

Youya's little brain, which had been offline for a short time due to a nap and a bath, resumed working, and she vaguely remembered the topic of the chat she had with Barbara in the morning when they were watching Miss Qin training.

"She also said that my congenital disease is somewhat similar to a disease called Demonic Scale Disease in Xumi."

"..." Eula did not answer immediately. It was not because she had no idea what Demonic Scale Disease was, but she was afraid of being ridiculed for her ignorance so she did not dare to answer.

It is precisely because of this knowledge that we fall into such silence.

In order to find out how to cure Youya's disease, Youla looked through various books in the family collection and asked adults in the family who knew medicine whether there was a possibility of treatment, but to no avail.

She knew a lot about various diseases, among which the demonic scale disease had attracted her attention.

It is a disease unique to Xumi, named after the gray-black scaly tissue that appears on the patient's body, and it has not been cured so far.

A person with demon scales initially experiences only some numbness in the areas of the skin's surface where the changes occur, but as the disease progresses, they experience loss of strength and occasional loss of feeling in their fingers and toes.

Eventually, when the disease reaches its advanced stage, patients lose control of their bodies and become completely incapacitated.

It was somewhat similar to Yuya's disease, but also different. For example, the skin abnormalities unique to the devil scale disease did not appear, and Yuya's other body organs functioned normally except for her legs, and she was even very dexterous.

But no one knows whether the numbness in the legs will gradually spread to the whole body if the condition worsens in the future. This is what Eula is worried about.

In the end, she could only speak reluctantly to comfort her sister.

"…It's okay, Yuya will get better."

"Yeah. Actually, when Sister Eula was wiping my legs today, I felt something."

Unlike Youya who was calm, Youla was stunned for a moment and then asked hurriedly.

"Feeling it means that Youya, can you control the movement of your legs?"

"... Well, that's not the case. It's more like I can feel something touching me, but I don't know the temperature or the exact shape."

Youya tried her best to describe the experience, although it was so brief that she almost thought it was an illusion. But in the dark, even a little light was particularly noticeable.

The legs that had been numb for a long time finally regained feeling, and for her it was a wonderful feeling of having lost something and then regaining it.

Besides, if it can make Sister Eula happy, it doesn't matter even if it's really an illusion.

"what about now?"

Concerned about her sister's condition, Eula bent down, pushed aside her clothes, and tapped her knee lightly.

However, these legs, as delicate as porcelain, showed no reaction at all, as if they were dead.

"Not now."

Youya shook her head.

Hearing this, Eula was not discouraged, but slid down along the girl's soft leg curve, squatted on the ground and half-grasped her ankle, as if she wanted to touch the sole of her foot.

Before Youya could react, she pinched her toes carefully, as if she were holding a treasure.

The girl's feet were pink, white, and soft like warm jade. This was also due to Eula.

Eula doesn't want to wait until the day when the disease is cured, but her sister has difficulty standing up because her muscles have atrophied and degenerated due to the long-term inability to use her legs.

"Woo..." Youya had no choice but to lift up her clothes to cover her blushing face.

Although I still have no feeling in my legs and feet, it is precisely because of this lack of perception that when I see my feet being touched by someone else like this, if I don't react in any way, I will really feel like my legs don't belong to me.

"Hmm?" Eula looked at her reaction, a little confused, but still asked: "Does this feel good?"

“No, no…”

The girl replied in a low voice.

After receiving such a reply, Eula's expression became a little gloomy, but she quickly cheered up again. After putting the girl's feet down, she looked up and cheered her up.

"It doesn't matter if you can't feel it for now. Yuya's legs must be getting better slowly."

Youya just responded with her gentle smile and did not refute.

When returning to the second floor from the third floor and preparing to send Youya back to her room, Youla caught a glimpse of a strange boy with an exotic face standing at the next door.

He had a bandage on his forehead and some cotton pads on his arms. His skin was not tanned but naturally brown. He was not wearing coarse linen clothes but a stylish outfit with a dark blue fur collar.

The most important thing is that his eyes, which seem to be looking at him casually, have a depth that his peers do not have.

It's impossible to guess what he is thinking.

Eula's intuition told her not to talk to the other party or pay any attention to him, and it would be best if they didn't meet each other if possible.

It's not that I hate them, or that I've been offended by people like them before, but it's a kind of dislike that comes from the heart.

And Youya naturally saw the boy standing in the corridor and remembered his identity.

Isn't this Kaeya, one of the three little knights we saw this morning?

Since she and Barbara were far away, they didn't hear the conversation of the three people below, they only knew that they left halfway. But looking at the injured appearance, did they do something dangerous?

Before Yuya could say hello, Kaiya smiled warmly and raised his good hand to greet her.

"Hi, I'm Kaia. I'll be recuperating here for a few days. We seem to be "neighbors", so please give me your guidance."

This familiarity made Eula, who was always disliked by the people of Mondstadt, a little suspicious, but she did not do anything to hit someone who smiled at her.

After nodding coldly, Eula did not make any unnecessary self-introductions. Instead, she gave two fake names and pushed Youya into the room.

Although she didn't have the time to chat with the young boy named Kaiya, Youya still cast a curious and kind look at him before going in.

The door closed as the finale, blocking each other's sight.

Kaia, who was standing at the door, touched his chin and smiled with interest.

He knew the girl's true identity, and even deleted the other party's content in the information he gave to his brother.

Why do this?

It was also just a spur of the moment decision. He wanted to see what choice this fellow on the "road of rebellion" would make.

Can she protect her family in the face of the prejudice of the people of Mondstadt? And if everything she cherishes is destroyed, will she become a true avenger?

However, her sister also seems worth keeping an eye on.

Is that outwardly revealed weakness intentional or a disguise?

Chapter 20: If I Could Become an Idol (Additional Chapter 10)

The next day.

The knock on the door interrupted Youya's leisurely reading time. So she raised her head, looked in the direction of the door, and spoke.

"Please come in——"

The wooden door opened and the visitor poked his head out.

The familiar appearance was naturally Barbara, her cute face with a little baby fat was half exposed, and her deep blue eyes were quietly looking into the room.

Only after she found out that a certain "natural enemy"-like big sister was gone did she breathe a sigh of relief, then pushed the door handle, walked briskly into the house, and greeted everyone cheerfully.

"Good morning, I'm here to visit Youya."

But when she saw Youya holding the book half-opened on her lap, she uttered an embarrassed "ah" and covered her mouth with her hands, saying, "Did I disturb you while you were reading?"

"Nothing. Barbara's coming here just reminded me that I should relax my eyes——"

Youya answered while sitting in a wheelchair, and then put her hands in front of her eyes like a telescope, as if she was observing Barbara.

Barbara, attracted by her action, asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"The book says - the world is beautiful, if you have a pair of eyes that can see its beauty."

Youya put down her arms at the right time, and then smiled with a hint of admiration.
