???: You've already fulfilled your task as guides, so why do you still linger here? Haven't you already seen enough trouble for today?
Sora took a deep breath as he turned to his opponent knowing who it was.
Sora: I had a feeling you would show up.
The person who was walking up the stars revealed to be Childe, walking towards him.
Childe: If you were Fatui, I imagine that you would be entitled to a generous reward from the Tsaritsa herself. But now, you're nothing but dross — and you're in my way.
Sora: Guess I got here just in time then.
Sora unsheathed his oblivion sword from his back and pointed it at Childe.
Sora: How did you find this place?
Childe was intrigued by Sora's intimidation as he spoke.
Childe: Hmm, where should I start? Well, I've never been one to beat around the bush, you know. But who could have possibly guessed that the God of Geo would mysteriously perish the very moment I arrived in Liyue, and that the Exuvia would subsequently be hidden away? If it weren't for that lovely little Rite of Parting ceremony you put together, it would have taken me a whole lot longer to get the information I needed.
Sora didn't say but narrowed his eyes as Childe continued to speak.
Childe: Stopping the Mora mints, hiding away the Exuvia... Hahaha, the ixing are really pulling out all the stops this time...
Sora: So that was your plan, taking the Gnosis exuvia all along, I have to admit, it was clever of you to use me to get the information about this place.
Childe: As one of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers, it's my duty to see the will of the Tsaritsa fulfilled.
Sora: Not if I have anything to say about it.
Sora then draw his Oathkeeper sword.
Sora: Your not taking the Gnosis or going anywhere near the Exuvia.
Childe: Hah! I'm not asking for your blessing, and there's nothing you can do to stop me anyway. The time for discussion and diplomacy has already passed. I mean, if it were up to me, I would have skipped that stage to begin with... but I'm willing to do as the Tsaritsa deems fit. Either way - we now come to my favorite part. A simple pleasure, and one that I am oh-so-delighted to be sharing with you... The battle.
Sora: I see, so you're the one you who loves a good fight huh?
Childe: When Signora offended the deities outside the Cathedral in Mondstadt, she swiftly left the scene once her mission was accomplished. Instead of confronting you directly, she chose to rely on the snow and ice to make her escape. She wouldn't want the Knights to come running towards the sound of battle, now, would she? When she faces a worthy opponent, she will prioritize her mission, weigh the outcomes, and consider the consequences of her actions... But as for me, the greatest pleasure of being a Harbinger lies in crossing blades with strong opponents.
Sora: If you want that Gnosis, you're going have to get through me first.
Childe: Oh? So you intend to fight me? Good. I won't kill you, Sora. I'll just play along — to feel the thrill of battle! Besides, you could never defeat me. Not even in your wildest dreams. But hey, try to relish the fight anyway. Because if you ask me... without that, what else is there?
Sora: I could never defeat you!? You're completely delusional. I've fought against the first Harbinger before, and I can easily take you on with just my dual blades...
Childe: Ahahahaha! Fighting talk, I love it! Now, let's see you live up to your name Celestial Swordsman.
Sora: You as well, 11th Harbinger
