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

The girl's voice was so firm.

"It's not just me. There are many, many people who need help, waiting for Barbara's singing to heal their pain."

In Barbara's eyes, her figure seemed to be covered with a soft veil of light, as if it would dissipate at any time, making her unable to help but stretch out her hand to keep her.

Then, a piece of steak soaked in lemon juice was brought to her lips, and the sweet and sour fragrance lingered around her nose.

"Come on, eat more! This will cheer you up. We still have a lot to do, Shining Idol Barbara!"

The girl in front of her smiled sweetly, like a little sun, making her feel dazzled.

...When they first met, she thought Youya didn't look like a child who loved to laugh.

Because she always encounters cruel and unfair things. If it were me, I would not even know how to laugh.

But now, as they got to know each other better, she discovered that Youya actually loved to laugh, but no one had ever been able to get into her heart and learn such an ordinary thing.

She said she redeemed her...but in fact, Yuya also redeemed Barbara.

The relationship between them is one of mutual redemption!

——Lunch time has just ended.

The news that Barbara had obtained the Eye of God spread somehow, and before the break, many people came to congratulate her.

There were adults, children, and nuns, all of whom surrounded her with smiles on their faces, and wanted to see her exercise her power to heal injuries. When Barbara really cured a child with a high fever.

The cheers at the scene reached a peak, and people surrounded her and left, leaving only Youya in the room, and the dishes that had not yet been cleaned up.

Youya didn't care about this indifference, and even had the leisure to joke: "...In the end, everyone disappeared."

Unfortunately, this is not an isolated island off the coast of Devon, and ten strangers of different identities are not invited here to perform a bizarre murder game called "And Then There Were None".

After folding the cutlery on her knees, Youya drove the wheelchair out the door.

Although she was still in a wheelchair, thanks to the injuries that Barbara had healed for her, she didn't feel as weak as before.

After a hearty lunch, she is in great shape and is still confident that she can "walk" back and forth between the kitchen and the second floor.

While recalling the location that Barbara had revealed during their previous conversation and paying attention to the situation on the ground, Youya soon found the place.

However, the kitchen was empty at this moment, with no one in sight. However, Youya was happy and at ease, and even observed with interest.

There were several old-fashioned cooking tables in the kitchen, which were large enough to serve the entire church. She also saw a large oven specifically used for baking pizza, which seemed to be big enough to fit her in.

Although the kitchen stove was very old, the tableware was generally made of silver, which was obviously very valuable. There were also various bottles and jars of seasonings on the counter.

Various tableware are neatly arranged in the wall-mounted storage cabinet on the side, and there are small notes on the cabinet door to remind users to handle them with care.

However, one of the cabinet doors was open at this moment. Although she saw it, she couldn't stand up to help close it, so she had to give up.

In addition, the kitchen was well kept. There were no food crumbs piled up next to the boiler, and no suspicious pieces of frozen meat in the sink. There were only a few unwashed plates soaking in the water. I guess the staff here had gone to watch the fun.

As expected, no matter where we go, everyone is quite keen on eating melons.

I hope Barbara can get used to the feeling of being the center of attention sooner.

After looking around and satisfying her curiosity, Youya put the tableware in the sink and prepared to leave.

However, because the wheelchair was difficult to turn and the space was not large, her wheels accidentally hit the tableware cabinet nearby. As it shook for a while, several plates on top slid out.

Chapter 28: Spy Playing House

Just as Youya hurriedly raised her hands to protect her head, preparing to face the pain, another pair of hands reached out and caught the plates steadily.

The expected injury did not happen, and Youya couldn't help but look up, and then she saw the kind people who caught the plates for her.

The blue hair is reminiscent of the deep sea, the brown skin is exotic, and her figure is reflected in the slender eyes. After noticing her gaze, the boy's face suddenly breaks into a relieved smile.

"Phew, this is really a close call—"

He moved the plate away from Youya's head and placed it carefully on the cooking table beside her, then said with concern.

"How is it, are you hurt or frightened accidentally?"

"...Ah, I'm fine. Thank you! If I remember correctly, you are the Kaia next door... brother, right?"

Yuya, who didn't know how to address the other person, hesitated for a moment and then asked again.

"Can I call you that?"

Being called by her name like that, and even being given the suffix of brother, was something that even Kaia could not have expected, but the smile on his face deepened.

"Of course it's no problem. Rather, being called brother by Miss Grey so affectionately is an advantage to me no matter how you look at it."

"Gray...?" When Youya was a little confused, she remembered that this was the pseudonym that Sister Eula gave her last time.

After returning that night, she also told Youya to try not to get close to Kaiya, saying that she felt some strange feeling from him that she couldn't tell whether it was intention or some other idea.

"Hmm? Did I remember the lady's name wrong? That's bad!"

As Kaiya spoke, his expression changed a little, and he naturally leaned down to look at the girl's face, as if he was thinking hard.

"How could I remember the wrong name of such a lovely girl? Could it be that when she was injured before, my head was also damaged?"

He asked and answered his own questions in a funny way, and at the same time he praised Youya without any reservation in his words.

However, Youya was not like other easy-to-please girls who were overjoyed by his few words of praise. Instead, she looked at him seriously and spoke.

“…I’m sorry. My real name is Yuya. My sister gave me the pseudonym Gray to protect me.”

"So your name is Yuya... Well, it's also a classy name. But——"

Kaia stroked his chin and nodded as if in appreciation, then changed the subject.

"Although I'm glad you're willing to trust me, Miss Youya, if you do this, won't your sister's protection of you be in vain? What if I'm a bad guy?"

He even moved closer to Youya, completely breaking the normal social distance, and there was a hint of evil between his eyebrows.

Even so, Yuya still did not show any fear. Instead, she folded her hands in front of her knees, as if she did not mind such a conversation at all, and replied: "If Kaiya-ge had bad intentions, why would he help me?"

Kaiya was stunned for a moment when he heard the voice, but soon he burst into laughter, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

He wiped away his tears and said, "Should I say this answer is naive or defenseless——"

But the next sentence made Kaia stop laughing.

“Is it wrong to believe that people who help you are not bad people?”

Yuya was not making any progress but was regressing, and the distance between her and Kaiya was close enough to be considered siblings.

"I saw Brother Kaia at the training grounds of the Knights of Favonius the other day. And the knights are people who follow the correct principles and take it as their duty to protect the people of Mondstadt, right?"

"But I'm not. I'm just a reserve who mostly does odd jobs and often slacks off during training."

"Huh? Why, shouldn't all boys aspire to become knights?"

"Not all of them. For example, I think patrolling and catching treasure-stealing groups are too troublesome. I just want to be a leader who takes care of miscellaneous matters, directing my subordinates to do things every day, and then I can just go around and have a few drinks and spend the day leisurely."

Kaiya said "Hey" and sat on the cooking table behind him, taking the initiative to distance himself from Youya.

Although he had checked the situation in advance and knew that no one would come back before lunch, it was not a wise move to keep such a dangerous distance from a little sister who was younger than him.

"Just like you girls, not all of you dream of becoming a princess and living in a castle with a dragon, imagining that one day a righteous knight will come in and rescue you, and then you can travel around Teyvat, right?"

“…Hmm, from this perspective it is correct.”

At this time, Youya leaned back slightly, twirling her hair and thinking.

"But I still think Kaia-nii will become a knight."

"Oh? What makes you so sure?"

"…Maybe it's intuition?"

"Women's intuition... You can't ignore it. I think I have a friend who would be a good match for you. He also trusts his intuition. I will introduce him to you next time if there is a chance."

After saying that, Kaiya also looked around the kitchen. Seeing this, Youya asked, "Has Brother Kaiya not eaten yet?"

"Yes. Because I slept too late, and when I got up and went to the cafeteria, I don't know why no one was there, and I didn't even know who took away my lunch."

There was a hint of confusion in his tone, and then he spread his hands.

"I had no choice but to try my luck in the kitchen. I didn't expect to see such a thrilling scene. Fortunately, I still have some of my mediocre skills and can barely catch the plate. But after all this trouble, I feel even hungrier."

Kaia jumped down from the counter and started looking for any leftover food, but he looked around and found nothing.

Unless he was prepared to eat raw flour or animal meat, there would probably be nothing here that he could eat.

"This is really strange...where have all the people gone?" He couldn't help scratching his head.

"They probably all went to see Barbara. She has awakened the Eye of God, which not only allows her to guide water elements, but also allows them to heal wounds."

When talking about her friends, Youya also smiled widely.

"Barbara cured my illness, so I was able to go out on my own. I really don't know how to thank her."

Hearing this, Kaia stopped searching for food, but soon returned to normal and turned his attention to the cupboards, looking through them while speaking.

"That's really remarkable, Miss Barbara."

"That's right. Barbara is very powerful. If Kaia-nii's injury hasn't healed yet, I can ask her to take a look. Just as a reward for your help just now--"

Youya agreed happily.

"Haha, you're welcome. It's just a piece of cake. There's no need to trouble Miss Barbara with my minor injury. After all, I want to take advantage of this opportunity to lie down for a few more days and skip some training."

At this time, Kaia also found something to eat. Although it was a piece of bread that had become a little hard, it was at least edible.

After saying "lucky", he took a bite of the jam he had found and asked casually, "Speaking of which, Miss Youya, you seem to have a good relationship with Miss Barbara?"

Chapter 29 Who is both beautiful and sensible?

"Ah, to describe it as a good relationship is a bit too general."

Kaiya swallowed the jam-covered bread in his mouth. His blue eyes stared at Youya like an owl, but it was impossible to tell what he was looking at.

"I should say, judging from Miss Youya's tone, you and she should be very good friends, right?"

"That's right. Brother Kaia, do you want to ask about Barbara?"

Youya nodded, but also became a little wary.

After all, facing the most difficult target among the mission targets, those active offensive methods are unlikely to be effective, and will also arouse Kaia's vigilance and make him think that he has something to gain.

In that case, the possibility of completing the mission would be very slim. Therefore, she could only treat the suspicious and special Kaia Alberich with a normal attitude, slowly develop into a good friend, and then consider how to regret it for the rest of her life.

The worst outcome would be failure, and then a more difficult next life, but there would always be a way to solve it.

There is a famous line in the movie "The Whales of August" that she has seen: Half of life is spent facing troubles, and the other half is spent solving them.

But my own life in this life is over, but Barbara's is not...

If she did something that caused her to be misunderstood or noticed by the "Spy Boy" Kaia and suffered some harm, she would never forgive herself.

Kaiya naturally noticed the change in her expression and quickly explained it.

"Ah, Miss Youya misunderstood. Please rest assured that I am not trying to pry into Miss Barbara's private affairs. After all, this is Mr. Simon's territory. It would be too stupid to target the daughter of the steward in the church's territory."

As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, waving his hands repeatedly. Some crumbs fell from the bread in his hand, and he quickly covered them with his hands. He looked a little careless and harmless.

After cleaning up the crumbs on the ground, he continued.

"I'm not afraid of Miss Youya laughing at me, I'm just asking these questions out of curiosity. The real reason is because of a companion of mine in the preparatory camp.

Her name is Qin, and she is Miss Barbara's older sister. She trains very diligently and hard, and rarely talks about herself, but she has talked to us about her younger sister.

She also said that Miss Barbara was very cute and well-behaved, and was now serving as an intern prayer pastor in the church. But for some reason, she was always embarrassed to meet her.

He explained it in a serious manner, and he didn't seem to be lying.

"So, out of wanting to help her see if her sister has adapted to life here, and seeing that you seem to have a good relationship with Miss Barbara, I asked these questions.

If Miss Youya feels offended, please forgive me for this half piece of bread!"

Kaia comically broke off the other half of the bread in his hand and handed it to her.

"..."

Youya looked at the half piece of bread for a while before reaching out to take it.

However, unlike what Kaia thought, which was an excuse for his prying, the girl just took a light bite of the bread, puffed up her cheeks slightly like a squirrel, and then spoke vaguely.

"Now, we are just accomplices."
