She sang a song for the sick Anna, wishing her that her illness would be cured.
……
The smiles that returned to everyone's faces became her greatest medal.
So, when Barbara massages her swollen and sore calves at night, or gulps down apricot and white tea to soothe her throat, she thinks of everyone who has shown her kindness.
I also moved forward with everyone's encouragement!
Moreover, that smile might be proof of good health—singing might really have the power to heal people.
Under her mother's "serious" advice, she began to try to become an idol singer.
As for that little competitive spirit of wanting to surpass her sister and become the most popular person in all of Mondstadt, Barbara did not abandon it, but instead hid it deep in her heart.
If I can become even better, maybe I can share some of the responsibility with my sister.
That's what she thought.
It was because of this thought that Barbara had been secretly watching her older sister whom she admired.
When Jean asked Amber and the others about Mr. Xia's books and pen name, Barbara noticed the surprise in her eyes, even though Jean hid it well.
[It seems my sister and Mr. Xia have a really good relationship.]
When Amber offered to lend Jean the book, Barbara noticed a strange look flash across Jean's face.
My sister doesn't seem to be as uninterested in Mr. Xia's books as she claims.
When Lisa asked Amber to send her the book, Barbara noticed a hint of mocking helplessness on Qin's face.
Although I don't know what my sister is thinking, she really cares about Mr. Xia's books.
[In that case, I have no choice but to read Mr. Xia's novel!]
[This way, my sister and I will have more things to talk about.]
Barbara glanced furtively at the book that Amber had just handed to her in Lisa's hand and memorized its title.
Having always followed in her sister's footsteps, she had long since mastered the language of Liyue.
After we finish eating, let's go to the bookstore and buy a book to read carefully!

Besides Barbara secretly keeping an eye on her sister Jean.
There was another person present who was also silently watching Qin.
She is Yura.
As the "Sweet Wave Knight," who is on par with the "Dandelion Knight," Yora is often compared to Jean by Mondstadt people.
Both men were of noble birth, possessed exceptional swordsmanship skills, and had outstanding looks and figures.
The two people are so similar in terms of their circumstances, but their reputations are completely opposite.
Because she was a descendant of the old noble family of Lawrence, and the same blood flowed in her veins as those sinners who had once shackled Mondstadt in darkness, many considered her joining the Knights of Favonius a disgrace.
But the harp is Mondstadt's pride.
Although Qin herself has no prejudice against Yura, the two of them even have a good relationship in private, and Yura never cares about other people's opinions.
But the girl also had her own pride, and she still harbored some thoughts of comparing herself to Qin.
When Yora saw Qin asking Amber and the others about Mr. Xia's books and pen name, and how she had to refuse Amber's request to borrow books because she was too busy, she couldn't help but have some thoughts.
[As the acting group leader, you're so busy with work that you don't even have time to read the books you want to read. If I did read them, wouldn't that be considered surpassing you this time? Qin.]
[Chasing monsters outside and keeping watch at night can be boring, so I'm passing the time by reading.]
Yura glanced at the book that Lisa had just been handed to her from afar, and remembered the title.
As a noblewoman, she received rigorous training from a young age and had long since mastered several foreign languages.
After we finish eating, let's go to the bookstore and buy a book to read!

Noelle sat next to Seven and Fischl.
She originally intended to help in the kitchen.
As the most outstanding maid in the Knights of Favonius, she can perfectly handle all kinds of kitchen tasks.
However, Xia Zhi refused, saying that she was a guest and it was her first time visiting, so she only needed to sit and wait.
Noelle was used to the rhythm of working hard every day, and suddenly having so much free time made her feel a little uneasy.
She stared blankly in the direction of the kitchen for a while, then remembered what had happened last night.
The allure of that arrow...
Noelle reached out and tugged at Fischl's sleeve, whispering, "Fischl, can you tell me about magical girls?"
Fischl glanced at Qiqi sitting next to him, petting a sparrow, hesitated for a moment, and said, "What do you want to know?"
"
Noelle asked softly, "When did you become a magical girl?"
"Just a few days ago."
"A few days ago?"
"That was the day the monsters underwent a lightning attack and besieged the city."
"So how did you become a magical girl?"
"I happened to be outside the city that day when I was attacked by monsters. Oz was seriously injured while protecting me. I couldn't run anymore and sat on the ground waiting to die."
"and then?"
"Then I became a magical girl, and incidentally, I defeated the monsters."
"??? How did you become a magical girl?"
"This...I'm not at liberty to tell you..."
Noelle whispered, "Was it Mr. Xia who saved you?"
"..."
"Mr. Xia signed a contract with you and gave you a transformation item, making you a magical girl, right?"
"..."
Fischl frowned, looking at Noel with a serious expression: "How did you know all this?"
Qiqi, who had been petting the sparrow, also looked over expressionlessly.
Noel confessed: "Mr. Xia told me this himself this morning on the way back to the Knights of Favonius with me."
Fischl relaxed: "Oh, never mind then. You already know, so why did you ask me?"
Qiqi also turned back.
"I……"
Noelle hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice.
"I just want to ask, how do you charge that magical girl's transformation item?"
"You don't have any charging items, so asking won't help."
"Mr. Xia said he would give me one."
"what?"
Fischl looked surprised.
Qiqi looked over again.
"Really?"
Noelle nodded.
"Mr. Xia told me to go pick it up tomorrow night."

In the other circle.
Xia Ci and Xia Zhen were chatting with Xia Le, and taking the opportunity to introduce her to other people here whom she didn't know very well yet.
"This is Uncle Lishui."
"Uncle Lishui!"
"This is Grandma Ping."
"Grandma Ping!"
"There's also Sister Liuyun. She's busy in the kitchen right now. You'll see her when she comes out."
"Okay! I understand! Sister Xia Ci!"
Upon hearing this, Grandma Ping's face darkened.
