It was yet another hot summer day. Today was so hot, I could barely breathe. But there were still some commissions to finish. These ones were given to me officially from Jean. They were all related to the cathedral.
Makes sense I guess. I walked up the stairs and through the plaza into the cathedral. "Hey, Barbara! Jean told me to help in any way I could today. It's all regarding the cathedral," "Oh, Y/n! What exactly can you do to help us?" She asked in a calm tone.
"I could do some healing, or clean around. Really, I will do anything you tell me to!" "Well then, you should go talk to Jilliana. She's been really busy with Lily and seems frustrated," "Okay then, see you later!" Barbara nodded and went away somewhere.
"Hello, Sister Jilliana. Is there anything I could help with today?" "Y/n? Thank you for asking. It's been a while since someone cleaned the Barbatos statue in the plaza. Could you do that?" "Of course, it's my pleasure to do so!" "May Barbatos' gentle wind be with you," (Yes I had to log into Genshin for that)
I went outside and started cleaning with the cloth Jilliana gave me. It will be a pain to clean the middle part. My vision should help a little. With enough vines, they could hold me in place. And hopefully, I won't fall.
Guess I'll just have to try that out. "What are you doing? Aren't the Sisters supposed to clean the statue?" "Yes, they should. But, they are loaded with work, so they asked me to help. Personally," I answered the passerby without looking up.
They huffed and went away. After about 45 minutes of cleaning, I couldn't reach any higher. Welp here goes nothing. I channeled Dendro power into my palms and swung them. I targeted the statue's neck with my eyes.
I haven't really trained this move much, so I could still go wild. But hopefully, that won't happen. Some of the vines landed on the ground as I tried to get them to snatch on. This process was pretty hard. But I managed to do it and control my powers.
With the same channeled power from my palms, I secured myself close enough to clean a nice plot. I was slightly scared, but this was a commission. From a Sister. I continued cleaning before I heard a lyre.
Just what kind of luck is this? Now tons of people will gather. The bard started to tell a story while changing his tone along with the notes of the lyre. He seemed skilled enough to bring the whole Mondstadt to hear his tales.
Even I couldn't resist listening in. He told a story about some kind of dragon, I didn't get a good grasp of what he told exactly. Since I was... well, in the air. "Thank you," I saw the bard bow as people clapped and handed him some Mora.
Yet, I still continued to clean. Half of the statue was clean at this point. The bard sat down in front of the statue and just sat there for a moment. He turned around when he heard a vine break.
Yes, a few of the vines broke. But it was enough to keep me in the air. He walked behind the statue and them scream-said something. "Aha! So you are the one cleaning the statue! I see... A part of it looked like it was shiny, yet the other half, still dusty," "Uhh who are you?"
"Oh? How come you haven't heard of me? I'm the best bard around here!" "I could see that, you nearly brought all people of Mondstatd here," "Hehe, sorry. It's just an ability as a great bard! Anyways, I'm Venti the bard!"
"Well nice to meet you, Venti. I'm Y/n," "Just Y/n? No last name?" "You didn't tell me your last name either, so why should I?" "Heh, a smart one. Need any help up there? Those vines don't seem too sturdy," "I'll be fine, don't worry!"
"Well, if you do need help, I'll be here. I was originally planning on sitting here," "On the statue?" "Yeah, you should try it sometime! The breeze here is wonderful!" He said while making a wind current and gliding up to the statue's hands.
"So you have an Ameno vision?" "Yeah, it's pretty cool," "It must feel great to fly around whenever," "It really is... But how did you do this with vines exactly?" "Oh, just a regular Dendro vision," "That's cool! I haven't met a Dendro user yet!"
"Well, now you have," "Hehe, yeah. I'll be back soon, wait for me, will ya?" He then just jumped off and ran to somewhere. I couldn't see due to cleaning the statue. Oh, I was also cleaning the top now.
The top was pretty easy, I could just sit or kneel down somewhere. Soon Venti came back. With a bottle. "I brought some Dandelion wine! Want some?" "Not hanks, I have to finish cleaning. But great choice of wine," "You like it too?"
"Of course, it's really famous, so I had to try it. I used to enjoy some other kind of wine with friends, long ago," "Sound like a certain someone I know," "Well, I might just know that 'certain someone'," I giggled.
"Oya? Well, we should all meet someday, and see if we were thinking of the same person," "Huh, we really should. Not a bad idea, little bard," "Hey! I'm not that little!" "Heh, I've heard from Barbara. About the Holy lyre," "Forget that!"
"Ah, I think I'm almost done. I did clean the wings and face already, so what's left is the hands," "That was fast," "No it wasn't. This took way longer than it should've, thanks to you," "You have to admit it was boring without me!"
"Fine, you got me there. Why is it that I seem to attract vision users so much?" "Maybe because you have a Dendro vision that is really rare?" "Yet they only seem to notice it after we talk... Shame I haven't met any other Dendro users," I sighed.
