Genshin Impact: One Soul in Two Bodies

"Amber? You're up so early? Going out scouting again?"

Turning around, Wendy was also a bit surprised.

She had originally thought that Amber would still be sleeping at this hour, but she was already up and seemed to be preparing to leave the city.

"Yeah, you... are up early too."

Amber couldn't help but feel surprised that Wendy was so familiar.

They had barely exchanged a few words in their previous meetings, so why did it seem like they were so familiar now?

And more importantly, why did Wendy know about her scouting?

Did Kaito tell her?

Or... did she ask Kaito?

Amber fell into thought.

If it was the former, it wouldn't be a big deal, but if it was the latter, it would be a bit different.

Oh no... I got the identities mixed up again...

Seeing Amber's surprised expression, Wendy secretly thought, "This isn't good."

Right now, she was Wendy, not Kaito.

But even so, she didn't show any unusual signs.

It was clear this conversation couldn't continue; she had to leave first.

"I'll go get some breakfast first, then."

With that, Wendy turned and walked away, heading towards Angel's Share.

But before she had gone a few steps, Amber's slightly hesitant voice came from behind her, "Uh... Wendy, could you wait a moment?"

Could she have found something out?

Considering that possibility, Wendy stopped and turned around, appearing somewhat puzzled.

"Do you know where Kaito stayed last night? I thought he'd go back to the Knights of Favonius Barracks, but I didn't see him there last night, and I couldn't find him when I looked. I don't even know if he has a place to stay."

Amber, looking at Wendy, also asked the question she had wanted to know since last night.

They had parted ways right here yesterday. Although Kaito's direction wasn't towards the Knights of Favonius Headquarters at the time, she didn't think much of it, assuming Kaito was just wandering around.

What she hadn't expected was that Kaito hadn't returned to the barracks.

Although Kaito had told her before that he wanted to take commissions to earn Mora and then find a place to settle down in Mondstadt, it definitely shouldn't have been so soon, especially since Kaito hadn't even taken any commissions yesterday.

However, Amber also knew that Wendy had appeared, and she seemed very familiar with Kaito.

Amber came looking for me last night???

Hearing Amber's question, Wendy was startled. She hadn't expected Amber to go to the barracks to look for her last night.

She had originally planned to tell Amber today about renting a house, but she hadn't expected her to go looking for her last night.

"Oh, him? He's staying with me, we rented a house together." After a moment's thought, Wendy replied.

"That's good, I thought he was sleeping on the streets." Amber looked relieved and then chuckled.

In truth, she had already anticipated such a result; she just wanted confirmation.

How could I also go to Angel's Share and sit there all night... sleeping on the streets would be terrible...

Wendy internally grumbled in response to Amber's words.

"Well then, I'll go out and carry out my scouting mission. Bye-bye."

"Bye-bye."

Watching Amber's departing back, Wendy remembered the system's mission.

Hilichurls...

Amber...

Could it be to help Amber eliminate Hilichurls?

As she thought, Wendy couldn't help but consider this possibility.

But...

Eliminate one Hilichurl ▢▢ Amber?

What are these two squares, exactly?

Eliminate one Hilichurl to intimidate Amber?

Uh... that's weird...

Amber isn't a Hilichurl...

Eliminate one Hilichurl to threaten Amber?

Threaten Amber with a Hilichurl?

Hmm... that seems plausible... No way!

This crappy system!!!

Wendy felt truly numb. There were just too many possibilities with these combinations.

No... simply guessing here won't do... I need to go and test it...

After much thought, Wendy decided to try out all the possibilities.

Of course, she would first pretend to coincidentally encounter Amber while completing a commission outside the city, and then she could conduct her various experiments.

But before that, she still needed to buy breakfast and some clothes.

Firstly, that was her original plan, and secondly, she didn't want to follow Amber so closely, as it would too easily lead to suspicions.

A little while later.

Alright... time to go...

After buying clothes and leaving a portion of breakfast for the still-sleeping Kaito, Wendy arrived at the city gates again, planning to begin her experiments now.

However, because Wendy wasn't truly familiar with Amber, she planned to let Kaito handle some of the attempts.

Stormbearer Mountains.

"Scouting! Scouting! Scout Knight Amber is in full-on scouting mode—!"

As she walked, Amber suddenly shouted these words very loudly a few times, scaring the surrounding animals into scattering and fleeing.

But despite the shouts, Amber was actually just walking aimlessly, not really scouting anything.

She felt a little conflicted now; she wished Wendy hadn't appeared.

Although Wendy and Kaito had only known each other for a few days, she still felt this way.

But she also knew that Kaito and Wendy must have known each other for a long time, so what right did she have to feel that way?

And she was quite bothered by the fact that Wendy had showered so early.

"Wahhh—"

Just then, a Hilichurl's scream suddenly came from nearby.

Hilichurls?

Someone's fighting Hilichurls?

Thinking this, Amber immediately perked up and ran towards the source of the sound.

As a Scout Knight, she couldn't forget her duty because of personal matters.

Wendy? Why is she here too?

As she ran over, a familiar figure appeared before Amber's eyes.

And besides Wendy's figure, several Hilichurls lay scattered around.

Amber has been lured here...

But... there's no mission completion prompt...

Although Wendy thought 'eliminating Hilichurls to intimidate Amber' was too absurd, she still gave it a try, but it failed as expected.

So... what should I try next?

Threaten Amber with a Hilichurl?
