Genshin Impact, Breezing Through Teyvat

***

Barbara fidgeted in anticipation.

"After you are done with Fischl, could you go on a date with me?" she spoke casually and smoothly, wanting to grab a chance with Yomite while she still could.

For her first date ever with a man, she decided to get dressed up as cute as possible to show off her appeal.

While she knew she was inferior to her big sister in many ways, she still hoped he would see her charms beyond the failure she saw in her mirror everyday.

Outwardly she presented a calm demeanor, but inside there was no doubt she was waiting for a reply to come out of his lips to answer her question immediately.

Yomite seemed slightly hesitant for a split second, before he eventually let his response pour out of his mouth.

"Well sure...I did promise that...but please...don\'t make it sound like I have some sort of shopping list and I scratch off items one by one...It\'s not a chore really, I want to go there with you girls to have fun."

Barbara silently bit her lips as she heard those reassuring words, wondering if he actually meant it or not.

Surely a wonderful hero like Yomite would agree to that casual phrase to "give credit where credit was due"?

"In any case, we need to plan out what we should do overall. Now that we know where to find Rex Lapis, and even his identity, our primary goal for this trip was fulfilled albeit not successful." He glanced at Lumine who had turned her eyes downcast towards the floor.

"While we didn\'t get much information about Aether during this short trip, we learned he is at least alive, which is good." He sighed and brought up the subject of her missing brother again.

Then again, the info came from a Fatui Harbinger Childe himself, so while there was possibility of it being fake, they would rather cling on the hopes that it wasn\'t.

"Now that we have nothing to do, I take requests and suggestions on what you girls want to do next. In my opinion we should do the same movement as you did before in Mondstadt with the missing posters, and then there is the fact that some higher-ups might be collaborating with the Fatui directly so they might know something about Aether as well. What do you think?"

"We could go fishing!"

"I want to do some quests tomorrow, if that\'s alright."

"Relaxing at home seems good enough to Paimon, of course we need to buy sweets first!"

(So casual...) Yomite scratched the back of his neck in defeat.

"Alright then it\'s decided. Tomorrow, Fischl will go with me on a date, the day after Barbara gets to have one. You girls can do whatever you want in the meantime."

He reached out towards his adventurer\'s bag and pulled out a few sacks full of Mora.

"Now that we have this out of the way, here is some Mora. Most of our wealth was left back in our mansion, so I only had around 10 million Mora with me, but thanks to an anonymous donation, we obtained more than 100 million, therefore go enjoy yourselves fully!"

"""Yaaay!"""

Back then, before they fought, Childe was robbed by him.

(That bastard seems to have even more money on him...He is the bad guy, so if we meet again, I should probably capture him instead of killing him and beat him up until all of the coins pop out, like a pinata.)

Yomite grinned ear to ear. It would be hard for the current him to defeat Childe into submission without any sufficient training of his newly found Anemo abilities, but if they ganged up on him with his party, he would stand no chance.

(We will get you.)

He stood toe to toe with him before, but he knew Childe still had something else up his sleeve, therefore Yomite without a doubt needed more time developing his abilities and gaining combat experience to actually defeat him.

(I should do that after the dates. It\'s time to train seriously with the goal of overpowering him.)

Meanwhile, the girls looked at him from the distance with weirded out looks.

"Uwaaaah...there it is again...that evil face of my Assistant...He must be planning something terrific again."

"The Devil of the Rhine, showed itself once more in thus sacred grounds!"

"Paimon is wondering why people of Mondstadt even call him a Hero and not a villain...his face is scary..."

"He is so cool!"

The girls looked at Barbara with expressions bordering between utter fascination and disbelief. It seemed like she was adoring him no matter what he did, which was in a sense pretty weird in itself.

She was a cute nun, that much was certain. Her blonde pigtails were adorable, and even women had to resist the urge to just reach out and pet her head when they passed by her.

They wondered what Yomite accomplished to make her fall in love.

What exactly did it take for some people to fall madly and utterly in love with someone? Especially a prestigious person like Deaconess Barbara.

And why would they do that in the first place?

They\'d heard it before; Deaconess Barbara was so kind and sweet that it must have been her way of saying "thank you" for saving her life. Not love, just a way to repay a favor.

At least that\'s what they thought happened when she temporarily joined the party, but it didn\'t seem to be the case at all.

She was serious about her feelings.
