Diluk knew the names of the two girls, one was Amber and the other was Youya. The former was a well-known naughty girl, and the latter was the "news protagonist" a while ago.
Especially since he had investigated her, his brother Kaia was full of praise for her. He had imagined many possible ways to meet her, but he never expected that his meeting with her would be like this...
The situation of falling from the sky and running away in a flash.
The way he flew on the broomstick was just like the unrestrained wind...
Finally, Diluk shook his head.
"……No."
He lied for the first time in his life, and he needed to make up for it by making up more excuses.
His keen observation left him with an impression of the "magic weapon" that the girl had used before. He looked back at the wooden stick that was still stuck in the treetop with only half of it left outside, and explained, "When I was cleaning, I remembered that I used a sword move incorrectly during training today, so I tried to swing it a few times with the broom."
Then he pointed to the sag in the shed roof and said, "A cat jumped down from there. We were all startled. My broom fell out of my hand, and the cat stepped on my head, causing me to fall. Then it ran away to the other side."
After saying this, he also looked at the knights who suddenly realized.
“Oh…I see.”
Mal had no doubt that swinging a broom as a sword was just a normal behavior for boys, and it did not cause any damage to public property. Moreover, Diluk was just playing in front of his own tavern, so it was naturally not a big deal.
Therefore, after saying "If you want to train, go to the training camp. Not at the door of the tavern, be careful of accidental injury", Mal continued to patrol with his men and did not check the broom.
The bartender smiled subtly and winked at Diluk.
"Don't worry, Master Diluk. I will keep the secret from you. After all, you are still just a big boy, and it is your nature to love playing."
"…Thank you very much."
This was the only answer he could give.
Chapter 52: Destined to Never Wait for That Person
the other side.
After Youya and Amber rushed up to the sky urgently, she found a better angle while controlling the broom and flew into the bedroom from the open balcony on the second floor. However, before it could land, the broom trembled in the middle and suddenly braked to a stop.
Inertia threw the two girls onto the big bed, and then the broom seemed to have lost its magic, falling to the ground with a plop, and the remaining wind element on it quickly dissipated.
Youya seemed to hear faint laughter.
However, when she listened carefully, only Amber was laughing. This enthusiastic and adventurous girl seemed very satisfied with today's flight experience.
Before Youya could react, she pounced on her and rolled in the bedding with her, rubbing her with her little face. The goggles hurt Youya's face.
"Okay, I know Amber is happy, stop it-"
You Ya, whose strength was drained, had no way to resist her. She could only push her with her small hands as much as she could, turning her cheek to the side. Her soft voice did not sound like a rejection.
"Hehe, Youya really taught me a lot today!"
Amber also raised her head at this time and said happily.
"Ah - it feels so comfortable to fly. Although it's not as mature and controllable as the Wings of Wind, but we can do it so well right from the start. Maybe with further improvements, we can travel around Teyvat on a broomstick in the future!"
"Things like that should at least wait until you're an adult!"
Youya didn't say anything directly about Dane or Oyster, which made Amber feel both regretful and happy.
She thought to herself that judging from the energy consumption, if she could continue to master this skill, perhaps she could also start long-distance travel like a certain Gray Witch.
However, at her current age, it is still very dangerous for her to go out casually. If she faces some elemental creatures or birds of prey, she may not even be able to escape.
Moreover, today's driving experience is not really stable and there is still much room for improvement.
The problems of flying with a broom have been exposed. Ordinary broom bristles cannot last long under such strong airflow. In addition, one must also consider one's own safety.
Maybe it would be better if I had a pair of wind wings, or maybe make a portable parachute?
No, no!
The most urgent task now is how to explain these things. After all, she did not listen to Grandpa An. Not only did she go out without permission, but she also took Amber away.
When thinking about these things, Youya gradually felt some pain coming from various parts of her body, including her head, which became dizzy at this time, and a feeling of emptiness in her body.
(…It’s not time for dinner yet?)
Youya closed her eyes uncomfortably, making a humming sound. Amber noticed her situation and quickly got up to look over her body.
When she found some abrasions that were bleeding, she was so scared that she hurriedly got out of bed to find medicine for Youya. It was not until the evening when Grandpa An came back that Youya was frightened to see Amber pushing her out, tied up like a mummy.
He quickly dropped the thing in his hand and checked it out. Fortunately, they were just scratches and bruises, which could be cured by applying some medicine at home. But his face was so pale, it was obvious that something was wrong.
Under the old man's serious questioning, Amber stammered and told her about the trouble she had caused today, but she didn't dare to tell the whole story. She only said that they were playing in the yard and accidentally fell down.
As Youya also looked very hungry, the old man did not bother to ask any more questions and went straight to the Deer Hunter Restaurant to pack up some food and have dinner ready.
After finishing her meal, Youya became more energetic and honestly confessed what she had done today. Amber wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but was picked up by her grandfather like a rabbit.
The inconsistent testimonies made Grandpa very angry. He spanked Amber several times before putting her down. He also lectured Youya in a serious tone for the first time.
"I know Yuya is very obedient and is still at an age of curiosity. But such dangerous things must be done with me or your sister around, understand?"
If Youya's Eye of God had not been embedded in the leg ring and could not be taken off, she would probably have been confiscated by her grandfather for some time.
Therefore, Youya did not refute her grandfather's preaching, but just listened obediently and did self-examination.
Perhaps because she had a good attitude of admitting her mistakes and had indeed gained her grandfather's trust, the matter was over.
Moreover, unlike what she had imagined, Grandpa An did not forbid her to continue using such power. Instead, he went out that night and came back with a bunch of books as thick as dictionaries.
The book on the top seems to be called "Introduction to Basic Elements".
The book provides a simple and easy-to-understand introduction to Teyvat's existing elemental system, and also includes excerpts of notes left by past users of the Knights' Eye of the Wind Element.
It really came in handy for Youya, not only completing her system knowledge, but also broadening her horizons.
It's just like the method of using wind element to attack in the book...
For some reason, she couldn't do anything even though her face turned red. The most she could do was to raise a gust of wind that lifted up the girl's skirt. This was probably because she lacked a medium, that is, a weapon.
No matter how open-minded Mr. An was, he would never really give her a real sword or a real knife. He only said that he would help her find a suitable magic weapon, but forbade her to use such things privately.
Youya also agreed to his request, or rather, she didn't really have any in-depth thoughts about it.
From watching movies and TV shows, wizards or fierce collisions of magic are indeed very exciting and powerful, but with her physical condition, I am afraid that she will only cause trouble on the battlefield, and cough up blood in the middle of the fight...
Or why not just make something reliable and practical?
Making elemental props seems like a good idea.
However, in her testing, small items like the paper crane, in addition to making the infused wind element last longer, also acted like a beacon, allowing her to find the carrier through elemental vision.
For larger tools, such as brooms, even if they are infused with elemental power, they cannot be maintained for a long time. Basically, if you want to use them, you can't be too far away from them, otherwise there will be serious overflow.
This does not meet Youya's needs, nor can it be called a qualified elemental prop. She just uses elemental power to enchant it, and it will change drastically depending on the situation.
In her impression, elemental props should be... more stable, something that can be made even by someone who is not the holder of the Eye of God, and can also be sold and preserved.
(…But, this sounds more like a potion, or something like alchemy, right?)
When she was flipping through these books at night, a piece of her memory seemed to be suddenly lit up -
She had the impression that a woman had once talked to her about a related topic.
However, because I was still young at that time, I can't remember the conversation very clearly.
But the only thing I remember is that the other party seemed to have given me something.
Someone so precious that I must protect him even if he is bullied...
Xumi Teachings Academy Dormitory——
Lisa closed the book in her hand and placed the pen aside.
The girl's pretty face has a hint of laziness, and just by stretching, it is enough to say that the spring beauty in the garden cannot be contained.
Having a much better figure than her peers is both an honor and a burden, just like her external reputation, although she doesn't care much about it.
She looked out the window at the moon hanging high in the sky, and for some reason she thought of the lovely little girl.
Even though he is always bullied by his peers, he still comes to Mond just to see her and share the stories in the book with her.
It just happened that she was about to come to Xumi to further her studies, so I just left my favorite book with her, hoping that she would bring the book to me when she returns in the future, and I would teach her then.
Knowledge that treats everyone equally, and a cure for leg diseases.
I hope she will be fine and wait for me to go back.
PS: According to the data, Lisa should have been a young girl when she went to Xumi for further studies, and after returning from her studies, she was directly assigned by the leader to be the captain of the eighth team.
This caused strong dissatisfaction from the then squadron lieutenant Nymph, who did not think that an academic like Lisa could take on such an important task. With the approval of Kaia, who was then the general affairs chief, he conducted actual combat training with Lisa, which lasted only two minutes.
Lisa then declined the position of captain and was transferred to the position of librarian. In the following year, Nymph continued to submit letters of recommendation for the captain to the leader (Falga), specifying that Lisa should take the position.
The information that can be extracted here is that the girl Lisa may not have served in the Knights of Favonius before, and the lieutenant was not aware of her abilities, so he made a wrong judgment and thought that she was just a graduate of a prestigious school.
When Lisa came back, it was the peak period of Kaeya and Diluk's debut. Both of them were young talents (one was a cavalry captain and the other was a general affairs chief). Judging from their age, Lisa must be older than Jean and the others.
The domestic standard for teenagers is around ten to fifteen or sixteen years old. So if we use the time point of Diluk just turning ten in the current article, from the time he obtains the Eye of God to the time he begins to show his talent, two years is a reasonable time in my opinion.
(Although it is exaggerated to be the captain at the age of twelve, considering the example of Klee later, it is not unacceptable. After all, Mondstadt is free──)
There is also a rough time node for Diluk, which is when Master Kpulis got into trouble and he left the Knights Templar, investigated the Evil Eye alone and joined the underground intelligence organization of the Northern Continent. He returned to Mondstadt four years later as an adult, so he should have been thirteen or fourteen years old before he left.
Therefore, in summary, the time in the story is when Lisa goes to Xumi for further studies, and I think this setting should be logical and reasonable.
Of course, the same thing applies. These are just speculations based on game data and cannot be guaranteed to be true. Please don't take it too seriously. If there are any discrepancies, just treat them as private settings in the article.
(And this kind of private setting is generally based on the fact that Misan did not provide detailed information. I deduced the results through these fragmentary information, rather than imagining it.)
Chapter 53: The Sinful Yuya
late at night.
Amber was already fast asleep because she had played all day.
Because Grandpa An urged her to go to bed, Youya did not continue reading with the light on, but lay down in bed. The comfortable warmth made her feel drowsy.
However, when she looked at the moon hanging high outside the window, she thought of her sister Eula.
I wonder if her progress is going smoothly...
And, there is——
She also saw the broom still leaning on the balcony, and found it hard to imagine that so many things had happened today.
Not only did he actually fly up, but he also accidentally hit that Brother Diluk. And no matter how you look at it, it can be considered as hit-and-run, and he hasn't given anyone an explanation until now.
What should you do if the other person is angry?
If I provoke such a powerful nobleman, even my grandfather would be unable to resist...
Although according to the information obtained from Mr. Voice, the other party is not a domineering person, but considering the trouble I have caused, not only did I not give an explanation, I didn't even apologize as promised. It wouldn't be surprising if he was angry, right?
Maybe when I wake up tomorrow, people from the Knights Templar will arrest me and sentence me to death for hit-and-run.
(… Uwaaa, stop imagining things!)
After patting her face vigorously, Youya got out of the bed with some difficulty. She closed her eyes for a while, then opened them again.
The previous normal vision was replaced at this moment, just like diving into another more intuitive and transparent world. Those things that hindered observation became transparent, and a considerable amount of blue traces remained in the air.
This was the route she took on her return trip, and was on the other side of Mondstadt.
There was also the paper crane she had placed on her brother Diluk. Through it, she could roughly sense that the other party had not left the city and returned to the Dawn Winery.
However, I don’t know if he has already rested. If I go over there at this time, what if I disturb his sleep?
But wouldn’t it feel too insincere to just sleep until tomorrow without doing anything?
After much thought, Youya decided to choose a more reliable method.
Give gifts!
Yes, no matter who you are, if you receive a sincere and friendly gift from others, you will feel happy.
This can also reduce the other person's possible anger bar and make you feel more at ease.
So, Youya called for a broom, and using the knowledge she had learned at night, she put on the broom in a relatively stable state.
I flew out of the window in the dead of night, while also thinking about what gift to give.
