She was a heroic girl dressed in the uniform of a knight reserve. Although her face looked a little childish, the chivalrous temperament in her every move made it difficult to underestimate her.
Especially those eyes that were similar to Barbara's, which always made Youya feel a sense of familiarity, without waiting for her to recall it.
She gave her name -
"I'm Qin. I'm here to lead you two to your residence on the orders of Grand Commander Falga. May I ask who is Miss Youya and who is Miss Amber?"
Although she was asking a question, her eyes had actually already been locked on Youya. Her iconic wavy hair was not easy to mistake.
If the old nobleman Lawrence is the shame of Mondstadt, then the ancient knight family of Gunhildr is the real light of Mondstadt.
As descendants of these two diametrically opposed families, what kind of sparks will be created between them?
Chapter 59: So familiar yet so strange to each other
Before Youya came to her senses, Amber on the side couldn't hold back her excitement, especially when she saw her formal dress, her excitement was already evident on her face.
"I, I, I! I am the future's most outstanding scout knight - Amber! No need to add Miss, just call me that."
Of course, she did not forget her good sister.
"Then she is Youya. Although she looks a little shy, she is actually a very good child!"
She pushed Youya a little out of her arms and introduced her proudly.
"I see. Nice to meet you."
Qin nodded seriously and looked at the petite girl. She could feel a very pure breath of wind from her. Considering the fact that these two girls appeared here and the broom floating in the air, it was not difficult to guess how they climbed to the top floor.
(However, even if it is Lawrence, will he be recognized by the Wind God? No, it is too narrow-minded to think so.)
Perhaps noticing her gaze, the girl named Youya gently pushed the broom, and it floated in front of her obediently like a tamed horse, and at the same time, the soft sound like a dandelion caressing her ears came along.
"Would you like to ride it?"
For some reason, Qin felt like she was taking away other children's favorite toys.
This is really a subtle emotion. Qin, who has been trained as an excellent heir since childhood, has never experienced such a thing.
Again, she wouldn't really do such a thing, so she just gently pushed the broom back towards the girl.
However, the words she used in response, being still clumsy and stubborn, could not be considered appropriate.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Youya, but as a knight reserve, I prefer the feeling of being down to earth."
This was a harmless remark, but she noticed that the expressions of the two girls opposite her changed for a moment.
Amber, who had seemed very lively and enthusiastic, suddenly became cold, even puffing up her face slightly, revealing a hint of hostility.
"Hey, come on—what do you mean by that?"
When being rejected, Youya just smiled as if she didn't care, then took the broom. She even noticed that her companion's expression was wrong and tried to pull the corner of her clothes.
"Amber, don't be like this, Miss Qin didn't mean that."
"But her attitude is clearly... ugh!"
Qin was sure that she had said the wrong thing, but she was also unfamiliar with this situation.
She was trained by her mother as the successor of chivalry since she was young.
Whether it is the physical form and etiquette that symbolizes chivalry, or the history and poetry that forge the soul of a knight, or the swordsmanship and physical fitness that arm the spirit of chivalry...
All of these instruments require training, and one needs to do one's best to perform to the best of one's ability, so that one's mother and family elders will be satisfied.
He is often praised for his interpersonal skills and is regarded as a worthy descendant of the Gunhild family.
But at the same time... she had also heard people think she was too serious and old-fashioned.
Although no one had ever said this to her face, Qin didn't think there was anything wrong with the correct path she was following.
But... among the many correct comments, there was one that was not so correct, but rather ambiguous.
To her now, anything that is not right is the same as being wrong.
This feeling that she knew she seemed to have done something wrong but didn't know where was really worrying.
Moreover, the Miss Youya in front of her... She felt a little familiar for some reason, as if this was not the first time they met.
However, if they had really met formally, she should not forget him because of his appearance that surprised her and his matching temperament.
Although the first priority right now should be to apologize, the words that should have come out of my mouth kept spinning in my throat.
She was the heiress of the Gunhild family, and if she apologized to the descendants of the old noble Lawrence, once the news was spread by someone with ulterior motives, Lawrence's people would confront her face to face. She could not lie and would definitely bring tarnish to the family's reputation, making many old knights ashamed to face people, which would lead to instability in Mond.
If it is not handled properly, it will even cause public outrage, and people will criticize the mother for improper education. This is something Qin wants to avoid at all costs...
But the more anxious they were, the more difficult it was to speak. The awkward silence lasted longer and an awkward atmosphere continued to brew at the scene.
Amber's expression, which had been waiting for an answer, became impatient. She protected Youya and said loudly, "Forget it this time, but we don't want to go down with you. I'm going to wait for Grandpa here. He's the leader of the reconnaissance team and he must know where we live. Miss Qin, don't worry about it."
Seeing this, Qin's expression became a little embarrassed. She came up here on the orders of the Grand Commander, and she also had another important task.
That is, during the period before they leave the Knights Order, they need to be taken care of and guided, and it would be best if Miss Youya could open her heart to the Knights of Favonius.
In this way, both her family and Mond will see the end of their thousand-year feud with Lawrence in this generation.
But now, the mission that had just begun had a rift because of what she had said. How could Qin, who had always been serious about her work, not blame herself?
In this regard, she could not care about anything else and could only bow her head and admit her mistake.
"I'm sorry. I would like to personally apologize to Miss Youya for my slip of the tongue just now. Please forgive my rudeness—"
She knew that her every move represented the Gunhild family, but there was no one around at the moment. If she used an individual's name, she would only bow her head when she saw the other person, instead of the whole family bearing the stigma.
She will also reflect deeply on her own inaccuracy and mistakes, and make timely corrections and revisions.
However, the expected words of disgust or ridicule did not come, on the contrary, the girl spoke softly and gently like a gentle breeze.
"Although I don't feel offended, it doesn't seem right to sit on the ground and talk like this. Could you please raise your head first, Miss Qin?"
Qin did as she was told, and then she found that the girl was already sitting on the broom, floating in the air at eye level with her, while Amber was breathing heavily beside her. The experience of having her mouth covered because she said the wrong thing just now was not a good experience at all.
However, both people in the conversation ignored the poor little rabbit and looked at each other face to face, starting with Youya speaking.
"Yes, that's right. I once said something similar to this to my best friend -
Maybe we will inevitably talk about my last name later, but I think that since it is our first meeting, we should leave a good impression on each other anyway. "
The well-behaved sitting posture, the sunflower-like smile, and the intimate and trusting eyes that she had seen somewhere before, all continued to stimulate Qin's memory.
"At least, based on my first impression, Miss Qin, you are someone I admire and envy."
The girl's smile was still peaceful and gentle, but also carried the shadow of someone she knew.
Regardless of whether this frankness was true or false, Qin felt ashamed of herself. More importantly... she finally remembered it at this moment.
That's why I feel so familiar with him.
His sister Barbara.
Once upon a time, Barbara also looked at her with such eyes, but at that time she was more likely to walk straight towards her goal, never looking back at her sister, or waiting for a moment.
By the time she came to her senses, she found that her once close sister had already held their father's hand and was walking on a different path from her.
Even though the Church of Favonius was under the jurisdiction of the Knights of Favonius, it was not true that he would never see her again.
But she knew very well that family ties could never be maintained in this way. As long as one party could not make up their minds, the "discord" between the sisters exacerbated by their parents' divorce would continue.
Then, it may be washed away by time and gradually healed, leaving behind a scab of "the past", or it may become a past that is difficult for both parties to see, or it may be the beginning of even greater discord.
Why did he see Barbara in her eyes?
Qin asked herself this.
Listing comments and rewards
Before I knew it, it’s time to write my thoughts on the launch of a product. I always feel like before I write, I will look back at the thoughts I wrote before and recall my creative ideas.
But it would be too troublesome to write a long article, so I can simply sum it up in one sentence: I want to write a story that I won’t even want to read.
The subsequent plot development will be unfolded in an orderly and thorough manner now that Qin officially appears. The emotional relationship between them deepens, and the sisterhood, brotherhood and respect between brothers make it possible to overtake others.
How Youya will face the ending of lifelong regrets and how she will think about how to solve it will be presented one by one in the following chapters, and the pace will gradually accelerate.
And the Mond chapter has already been conceived, so please don't worry about the plot getting out of control.
What can be revealed in the Liyue chapter so far is that one of the weak attributes possessed by the protagonist is "glass feet".
The relevant plot is still under repeated consideration, but the length of the chapter should exceed the Mond chapter. After all, the scale is completely different and there are many things that need to be considered.
——The girl is praying——
After talking about the development of this article, it is time to talk about my own thoughts and practical problems.
In fact, before I started writing, I also knew that this kind of slow and steady writing style was destined to have a small audience, not to mention that I myself had narrowed the scope, such as the orange tag that was suggested to be added (please see the relevant chapter for why it was not included), so in the end, there would not be many readers who would stay.
As of today, I have seen about 2200 collections. According to Hedgehog Cat's usual subscription ratio, I estimate that the first order data will not be too good. Not only is it not just right (sad), but readers haven't posted much in the past two days. I'm not sure whether it's because they are raising the book or because they are about to give up on it (great sadness)
If we only look at daily recommendations, the average is around 130, but isn’t that the same as writing a book on your own?
Walking alone is always too lonely, but if I think about it carefully, if I am really asked to squeeze on that single-plank bridge with others, I will definitely not agree to it.
So, probably because I am such a pretentious person with a little bit of petty pursuit, I hope to write a book that I can like and that is just right and that everyone can like.
However, judging from the situation of this challenge, it is estimated that it will end in failure. If you think about it carefully, it is quite powerless.
I can only hope that readers will give me more votes (wink hint), subscribe (hand gesture hint), and treasure chests (crazy hint) to comfort me.
After all, reality is really difficult. Without money, you can only eat dirt. I really hope I can live like you guys who eat crazy Thursdays for 50 yuan.
——Finally, the question about the reward.
Because the daily data is similar to the old book at that time, I applied the usual standards.
Accumulate 1000 recommendation votes, 100 monthly votes will add one more chapter, and the reward is 1 or 100 blades will add one more chapter.
(Hidden secret to adding more chapters: Come on and praise the cute Youya! I will also add more chapters! Please!)
Then if the first order can reach 1,000 tomorrow, we will add more chapters. If there are still not 100 first orders, we will continue to send more.
Anyway, that’s basically it. Please give us your support!
See you tomorrow~(?o?o)??
Chapter 60: Emotions are being distorted
It didn't take Qin that long to think. When she reacted, she asked back subconsciously.
"……Why?"
That's right, whether it was the resemblance to her sister Barbara that kept attacking her defenses, or this unclear yearning, it made Qin feel confused.
"Yeah... it's a bit embarrassing to tell the person you like everything about her in front of her."
Youya poked her cheek lightly and smiled shyly.
"Eh? Like it?!"
Qin's reaction was far beyond her expectations. She even took a step back. She was so cautious that it was as if she regarded Youya as a suspicious adult.
Being treated like this, Youya naturally showed an expression mixed with confusion and shame.
"Wow, I know Ms. Qin didn't mean that, but seeing the shocked expression on your face, it's still a bit hurtful."
"No, no, I'm not that, it's just... I couldn't understand it at the moment, so I'm sorry! There's no way I can accept this kind of love!"
Qin spoke quickly, but Youya was stunned by her reaction, and then said with some disappointment.
"Ah... that's true. After all, she's just a suspicious person who showed up out of nowhere. If she suddenly says she likes something, it's true that you won't understand what's going on. But I really think from the bottom of my heart that Miss Qin can be like a sister to me."
"Don't be sad, Youya. You already have sister Amber and me, and Youla. You don't need another weird older sister!"
Amber had recovered by then and hugged Youya tightly to comfort her.
After hearing this, Qin's face immediately turned red with shame, her young toes in her knight's boots dug into the ground, and she swallowed back all the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
That’s right, how could other people’s love be the kind of love between men and women that you imagine!
You would misinterpret and misunderstand other people's well-intentioned words. You are so self-indulgent!
"I, this, is not..."
