"Barbara?"
Jean blinked her beautiful eyes.
Staring at Kai's innocent expression for a moment, she suddenly remembered something, and her expression instantly froze.
"Wait, you're not talking about the festival, are you?"
"Of course, it's that matter, and I bet when you went to the church… you didn't go to see Barbara at all, did you?"
Kai showed a very pleasant smile; he understood his wife very well.
That day, because she had made plans with him in advance, after Jean finished talking with the church cardinal, she rushed straight to him without any stops in between.
Given that, she naturally didn't have time.
To watch Barbara's performance.
"I… I was planning to continue strolling through the festival with Kai then, and go see Barbara a little later."
"After all, Barbara usually performs last at church performances."
Jean naturally knew her younger sister Barbara's affairs very well; if no accidents occurred.
Logically speaking, the itinerary for that day.
Would definitely have been arranged very smoothly.
But the result… Thinking of how, after learning the whereabouts of the Holy Lyre der Himmel, she became so excited that she forgot everything and completely overlooked Barbara.
Jean couldn't help but feel a headache and looked up at Kai:
"What should I do, Kai… Barbara will definitely be angry."
Facing the Traveler, as the Acting Grand Master Jean.
Perhaps she could handle it perfectly.
But if the subject suddenly changed to her younger sister Barbara, even with Jean's personality, she simply couldn't handle it.
After all, that was her sister… Barbara.
"It's fine; at most, we'll buy some gifts to coax her then. Barbara is still a little girl, after all… she's not too difficult to deal with."
Kai spoke with great confidence; he still remembered Barbara's preferences. If he just bought some gifts and coaxed her, and explained a bit.
That little girl Barbara would definitely understand what was important.
"After all, Barbara likes you very much as her older sister; she won't be too angry with you, at most, she'll just throw a tantrum and act spoiled."
"Is… is that so?"
Although this matter was indeed quite pleasing.
Even so, Jean couldn't help but blush and muttered softly, "Perhaps. Actually, I also like Barbara very much."
"Eh... I always feel like Acting Grand Master Jean and that girl named Barbara had something going on, but I don't know what exactly happened."
Paimon scratched her head in confusion, feeling full of curiosity.
"Barbara is the Deaconess of the church. It's quite complicated to explain... If you happen to meet her at the church, you can ask her yourself."
Master Kai was too lazy to explain so much. After finishing the last resident's quest, his work here was also done.
Master Kai glanced outside; there were many people in the office.
He felt a little bored.
"That guy Barbatos..."
"It's about time he arrived, right?"
"Knock knock knock..."
Almost as soon as the words fell, a knocking sound suddenly rang from outside the office door, followed by Barbatos's familiar voice.
"I'm here..."
"Eh, so everyone is already here."
He really arrived as soon as he was mentioned... Master Kai instinctively sighed, then stood up from his chair. "Then, let's go straight to the church."
"It seems the Traveler has already told you about it."
Seeing Master Kai's movement to get up, Barbatos waved his hand, which saved him a lot of explanation.
"But I have a small question..."
Paimon looked at Barbatos not far away, weakly raised her hand, and asked in a low voice, "The Holy Lyre der Himmel seemed to have been destroyed by an Abyss Mage before, can it still be used?"
At that time, under the sudden attack of the Abyss Mage, Barbatos was completely unprepared, allowing the Holy Lyre der Himmel to be successfully destroyed.
In this situation... if those damaged Holy Lyre der Himmel were brought to the church, things would feel very troublesome.
"I don't think there will be any problem."
However, Jean was not as worried as imagined. Her gaze swept over Barbatos as she quietly spoke,
"If it's Ba... no, if it's Mr. Venti, repairing the Holy Lyre der Himmel should be easy, right?"
"Oh, right!"
Paimon clapped her hands. She almost forgot that the minstrel was the God of Anemo Barbatos. In that case, repairing the lyre he used before shouldn't be too much of a problem.
"Ah... about that, I'm very sorry, everyone."
Barbatos spread his hands and said helplessly, "If the Holy Lyre der Himmel is damaged like that, even I can't repair it."
"Of course, I also have another plan... but this plan isn't very safe, so if we can avoid using it, it's better not to."
After speaking, Barbatos's gaze fell on Jean.
"Acting Grand Master Jean, as the Acting Grand Master of the Favonius Knights... if you went to the church and the Holy Lyre der Himmel was destroyed in battle, what would be the consequences?"
"The Holy Lyre der Himmel is a sacred relic of Mondstadt, and it is also the most precious possession that Anemo Archon Barbatos once left behind. Although the loss was caused by Sir Venti, in a sense, it's nothing significant."
"Even if I go to explain to the church, perhaps the consequences won't be too difficult to resolve... but it's best not to."
The current Cardinal of the church, like Jean, also had the title of "Acting." As for the official Cardinal, he went on an expedition with the official Grand Master.
In this situation, if she informed the church that the Holy Lyre der Himmel was damaged, with the current Acting Cardinal... it would probably be difficult for her to bear this responsibility.
Not taking good care of the Holy Lyre der Himmel would make the other party very self-reproachful, and after informing the church about the Holy Lyre der Himmel at that time.
Although the response from there was to allow temporary use, they also assigned a recovery specialist, and that specialist was... the Deaconess, Barbara.
First, she stood her up for a performance, and now the Holy Lyre der Himmel was accidentally damaged.
Barbara would definitely be angry.
"Alright, in that case, it seems we can only try to get through this first."
Barbatos sighed with a hint of melancholy.
"If that doesn't work, then we can only execute the other plan..."
"In any case, let's go to the church first."
