Genshin Impact: One Soul in Two Bodies

Chapter 15: Wendy's Warning?



Wendy… what on earth is she doing? Is she trying to warn me?

Walking ahead, Amber pondered what had just transpired, unable to help but think this.

Earlier, she had encountered Wendy, who was out completing a commission. Wendy then expressed an interest in observing her reconnaissance methods, so the two of them began working together.

While she didn't think her reconnaissance tasks were anything special to watch, since Wendy wanted to, she found it hard to object.

Moreover, Wendy was Kaito's friend, so she found it hard to refuse.

However, what happened next felt a bit off. She even suspected Wendy was trying to hint at something.

At first, things were normal, but that changed after they encountered some Hilichurls.

The moment they spotted the Hilichurls, Wendy rushed forward. Before Amber could even react, Wendy had already taken care of most of them.

But whether she had gotten carried away in the fight or not, the last Hilichurl was kicked flying by Wendy, soaring straight towards Amber.

Although the Hilichurl flying towards Amber was quickly knocked down by Wendy with another Hilichurl, Amber still felt something was off.

Even when Wendy quickly apologized afterward, Amber couldn't shake the feeling.

Why were the first few Hilichurls dealt with so cleanly, yet the last one was specifically kicked flying, and precisely in her direction? It was difficult not to draw conclusions.

If that were all, perhaps it would have been fine, but it was clear things weren't over.

Later, Wendy continued to do strange things, such as casually knocking out Hilichurls in front of Amber, holding a Hilichurl by the neck while commenting on her outfit, or even attempting to make a Hilichurl help her.

Though Amber couldn't help but ask Wendy why she was acting so strangely, Wendy merely replied that she was just completing her commission.

Faced with such an answer, Amber found it difficult to press further.

However, when she thought of Kaito, it was as if she understood something.

If she wasn't mistaken, all these strange behaviors were Wendy's subtle way of warning Amber.

After all, at the city gates that morning, she had told Wendy about going to see Kaito last night. Perhaps that had agitated Wendy.

If Amber went to see Kaito again, she might end up knocked out, choked, or kicked flying, just like those Hilichurls.

Making an example!

The phrase flashed in Amber's mind.

If that's really the case... then just say it directly! If you don't, I won't pay attention!

After thinking for a moment, Amber decided to subtly resist in this way.

If Wendy chose to tell her directly, Amber might be willing to back down. But since Wendy only intended to force her hand through such means, Amber wouldn't budge.

As long as Wendy didn't say it outright, Amber would continue to feign ignorance.

"Amber."

Just then, Wendy called out to Amber from behind, causing Amber to stiffen.

Is she finally going to say it? Or... is she going to make a move?!

Thinking this, Amber's heart began to pound faster.

Even so, Amber feigned nonchalance and slowly turned around.

The expected attack didn't come, which made Amber sigh in relief. However, she then saw Wendy was holding yet another Hilichurl by the neck.

What new trick is this...?

"Are you usually alone? If you encounter dangers you can't handle, you could die, you know! You should really—"

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Wendy." Before Wendy could finish, Amber cut her off, then said with a serious expression, "While I am currently the sole Reconnaissance Knight, this is my duty. I absolutely cannot abandon it due to perceived danger."

Amber paused, then added, "Besides, sometimes Kaito accompanies me. I'm not alone."

With that, Amber turned and continued walking forward, leaving Wendy standing alone.

How did I go from 'Wendy' to 'Miss Wendy'?!

But... threatening Amber with a Hilichurl won't get the mission done either...

Casually tossing the Hilichurl aside, Wendy frowned as she watched Amber's retreating back.

From earlier until now, she had tried many possibilities, but without exception, none had worked. This left her feeling quite helpless; she genuinely couldn't guess what the mission actually was.

If the mission itself was inherently difficult, that would be one thing. But the problem was, she had no idea what the mission even entailed.

Sigh... Never mind.

Later, I'll try again as Kaito...

After a moment's thought, Wendy decided to have Kaito try again later.

Since Kaito was very familiar with Amber, he could make attempts that would be awkward for her as Wendy.

Having decided on her next plan, Wendy turned and left; she had a commission to attend to.

After Wendy left, Amber, who hadn't walked far, cautiously turned her head to look back at where Wendy had stood.

She's gone?!

After glancing around and not finding Wendy, Amber visibly relaxed.

To be honest, when Wendy said that 'you could die' line earlier, Amber was quite worried Wendy would actually do something to her, especially after she mentioned Kaito sometimes accompanied her.

However, when she mentioned Kaito just now, she wasn't scared at all.

Alright... Reconnaissance Knight Amber.

Time to continue reconnaissance.

Drawing back her gaze, Amber resumed her reconnaissance.

Mondstadt.

Hmm... roasted meat isn't quite as good when it's cold...

Sitting on a chair in the living room, Kaito, after taking a few bites of roasted meat, couldn't help but think to himself. He then put down the roasted meat, took a few sips of apple brew, and got up, heading towards the door. It was his turn to make an appearance.

Although it was still him, the effect would be different.

As for the remaining roasted meat, he would just leave it for Wendy to clean up when she returned to cook. Today, he planned to eat something he cooked himself.

Okay, let's go!
