Genshin Impact: The Water God Wants Me to Confess

A few days had passed since Alechino and Fernina's picnic.

In the past few days, Mondstadt has not been peaceful. The Knights of Favonius have launched a large-scale crusade against the gathering place of the Hilichurls near Starfall Lake, led by the cavalry captain Kaeya.

The reason why Captain Jean resolutely mobilized the knights of Mondstadt, which were not numerous to begin with, to wipe out those troublesome Hilichurls was that he wanted to find out why a medium-sized gathering of Hilichurls suddenly appeared in the area of ​​Starfall Lake.

You know, Mondstadt has always been a sacred place blessed by Barbatos, the god of wind. According to common sense, it is impossible for any powerful monster to dare to approach the area around Mondstadt and wreak havoc.

It is for this reason that the sudden emergence of this medium-sized gathering place of hill people seems so mysterious and unusual.

At this moment, in the office of the acting commander, Commander Qin was leaning against the bookcase with a slightly tired look on her face, her slender hands tightly holding the battle report that had just been sent back from the front-line mopping-up team.

She sighed softly and murmured to herself, "Alas~ You didn't even notice the slightest abnormality?"

As the words fell, Captain Qin frowned tightly, and an expression of anxiety that was difficult to conceal was revealed on his face.

She knew very well that beneath such a seemingly calm surface, there was often a greater crisis hidden. "However, it is precisely this normal situation that makes people feel more uneasy..."

Knock knock... At this moment, a crisp and rhythmic knock on the door suddenly sounded, echoing in the quiet office.

Captain Qin acted upon hearing the voice, quickly folded the report in his hand neatly aside, then gently relaxed his slightly wrinkled brows, as if performing a magical spell, instantly restoring himself to the calm and composed appearance he usually had when facing everyone.

"Please come in."

As Captain Qin finished speaking in a steady yet dignified voice, the office door was slowly pushed open.

The figure who appeared at the door was none other than Kaiya, who had just returned to the team. He walked into the room with brisk steps, still looking a little tired.

"Captain Qin, the Starfall Lake monster subjugation operation has been successfully completed! Although the appearance of monsters in the past few days has caused a little tension among the people, fortunately, there was no danger. Our subjugation team finally lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully completed this difficult task."

Kaiya raised the corners of his mouth slightly and chuckled, then gracefully performed a standard knight's etiquette towards Captain Qin.

It is not difficult to tell from his confident and relaxed expression that although this operation had some twists and turns, the result was undoubtedly satisfactory.

However, even so, a closer look revealed a hint of fatigue deep in his eyes that was difficult to completely conceal - after all, this was a tough battle that had lasted for several days!

After listening to Kaiya's concise and clear report, Captain Qin nodded slightly to show his recognition and approval.

She looked at the brave and fearless knight captain in front of her with soft and meaningful eyes, and spoke with satisfaction.

"Thank you for your hard work, Captain Kaeya, and all the Knights of Favonius who participated in this crusade. You have defended the peace and tranquility of Mondstadt with your actions. You are the well-deserved pride of this city, and you are irreplaceable heroes in our hearts!"

"Haha, this is what we as Knights of Favonius should do. Protecting Mondstadt is the unshirkable responsibility and mission of knights like us!"

Kaiya laughed heartily. His eyes, as deep as the sea, were now shining with a firm and bright light, as dazzling as the stars in the night sky.

"By the way, Captain Qin, I wonder how Eula and Amber are doing now? When I hurried over with my reinforcements, I could only hastily exchange information with them."

"From what I saw at that time, their situation seemed to be quite bad! It's really distressing to think about it. I really hope they are all safe now."

Kaia's voice was full of concern, and his brows unconsciously frowned slightly.

Hearing this, Captain Qin nodded slightly and replied softly.

"After being escorted back to Mondstadt, Eula and Amber immediately received careful treatment from the sisters of the Order of Favonius. Fortunately, with Barbara's assistance, I believe they will recover smoothly and will not be in any danger again."

"Oh? It turned out that Sister Barbara came to help in person. This way, there is really no need to worry about any unexpected situations."

Kaiya looked at Captain Qin thoughtfully, with an intriguing look in his eyes. After all, he was well aware of the special relationship between Barbara and Captain Qin.

However, no matter what situation he faced, Captain Qin always remained calm and composed, without showing any unnecessary emotional fluctuations.

Barbara Page, whose real name is Barbara Goodwinhild.

That’s right, she also comes from the famous Guwenhild family!

However, fate always seems to play tricks on people.

Shortly after Barbara was born, her father Simon Page, for unknown reasons, resolutely took young Barbara away from the Goodwinhilde family.

From then on, the father and daughter depended on each other and joined the Order of Favonius together, and Barbara naturally became a nun.

What is unexpected is that Captain Qin and Barbara are sisters from the same mother!

Unfortunately, their parents parted ways due to their different philosophies, and thus, the poor sisters had to live apart from each other since childhood.

Despite this, blood ties are always hard to break, and Barbara and Jean both regard each other as the treasure of their lives.

Even though they have different surnames, the friendship between them has never faded.

However, even though the two sisters desperately want to get along closely with each other deep down, the reality is always the opposite of what they want.

The similar clumsiness was like an invisible barrier between them, making every attempt to get closer to each other extremely difficult.

Speaking of Barbara's initial motivation for working hard, she didn't actually have any earth-shattering grand goals. She simply hoped that she could defeat Jean once so as to share some of the burden on her sister's shoulders.

Jean simply nodded in agreement at Kaeya's words. Even within the Knights of Favonius, few people knew about her relationship with Barbara, so she did not notice the deeper meaning behind Kaeya's exclamatory words.
