"Good grief… Ningguang, Keqing, Jean, Kamisato Ayaka…
An entire Great Voyage list filled with Genshin characters?!"
"What kind of stream is this?!"
"This is the first time I've ever seen something like it!"
"At first I thought these memberships were fake,
but the cost is way too high for someone to 'fake' this many."
"Could this be… Mihoyo's official marketing?"
"Doesn't look like it.
The streamer's clearly some rich young guy living in a luxury villa."
"I thought putting Genshin stickers on a luxury car was already insane,
but this level…?!"
"Hiring a group to rename themselves as Genshin characters,
and then giving yourself paid memberships to fake authenticity—
Ah yes, the joys of being rich."
"…"
Arthur understood the confusion from the viewers of Earth (Blue Star).
If he didn't have a system, he probably wouldn't believe it either.
After all—
who would ever expect people from Teyvat to watch a Blue Star livestream?
He didn't bother explaining.
Instead, he cleared his throat and started:
"Thank you to everyone who joined the Great Voyage."
"I know what you're all curious about."
"But don't worry—your questions will be answered in later episodes."
"Today, let's not get sidetracked."
"We'll begin today's Genshin Character Evaluation!"
He paused, then continued:
"Originally, I planned to review one character per day."
"But today's two characters are related, so I'll review them together."
"And I'll do the same in the future for sibling pairs."
"Today's featured characters are—
Jean, Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, and her sister, Barbara, the Deaconess of Mondstadt Cathedral."
The livestream screen displayed photos of Jean and Barbara.
Mondstadt – Knights of Favonius Headquarters
"Oh my~ It's our Jean and little Barbara~"
Lisa teased as she saw the images.
"Th-There's… a review of me?"
Jean stiffened in shock.
Even though she had secretly wondered if she'd be picked,
hearing her name announced still sent a tremor through her heart.
Nervousness immediately followed.
Ever since taking the Acting Grand Master role,
Jean worked tirelessly, day and night.
Her only desire was to safeguard Mondstadt.
But reality hadn't been kind.
What kind of evaluation would that mysterious light-screen being give her?
And then there was her sister, Barbara.
Jean's expression turned complicated.
Mondstadt Cathedral
Barbara was still guarding the Holy Lyre der Himmel—
Just in case of Fatuus interference—
despite knowing the Traveler and Venti's theft incident was a misunderstanding.
Naturally, she also peeked at the light curtain whenever she could.
When she heard that today's review was about her and her sister—
She froze.
"M-Me… and Sister… I mean, Acting Grand Master Jean?"
Surely her sister would receive glowing praise.
But herself…?
Barbara felt she was just an ordinary priestess.
Nothing special.
But then she remembered yesterday's Traveler incident—
Her heart skipped a beat.
S-Surely nothing embarrassing about her would appear… right?
Transcendent Chat Group
[Klee]: Yay! It's Jean and Barbara!
[Alice]: These sisters really are interesting~
[Amber]: I wonder what the review will say?
[Mona]: Jean… The Acting Grand Master?
Her constellation is the Lionfang Knight—symbol of strength and burdens borne too early.
[Yunjin]: I've heard Barbara is Mondstadt's idol. I'm curious what will be shown.
[Charlotte]: Sounds similar to our Lady Furina!
[Falga]: Jean and Barbara, huh? It's been a while since I saw those two kids.
[Lumine]: Heheh~ No one looking forward to "embarrassing" content?
[Paimon]: Hehehe, Paimon is~
[Venti]: Ehe~
[Furina]: Ahem—purely academic interest! I just want a deeper understanding of these two.
[Jean]: …
[Barbara]: …
The ordinary chat group was even more chaotic.
Especially the Mondstadt citizens.
Their beloved Acting Grand Master
and their idol Barbara
were about to appear on the world stage!
Albert, Barbara's most devoted fan, was running laps around the city in excitement.
This was basically watching his idol debut on divine television.
Even if… this "debut" was slightly unusual.
Back to the livestream
Arthur spoke again:
"Jean and Barbara—
Let's start with the older sister, Jean."
"As usual, we begin with background."
"Unlike the Traveler, Jean is a true native of Teyvat."
"Full name: Jean Gunnhildr.
Father: the adventurer Simon.
Mother: Frederica."
"She is the Dandelion Knight of Mondstadt,
and currently serves as the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius."
"In terms of status, she is on the same level as Liyue's Tianquan—Ningguang."
"In fact, with Barbatos slacking off for centuries,
and Grand Master Varka away on expedition,
Jean may actually hold even greater authority."
"As for her personality, we must talk about her mother's family—
the Gunnhildr Clan."
"The Gunnhildr, Ragnvindr, and Lawrence families
were Mondstadt's Three Great Houses."
"Their history traces all the way back
to the rule of Decarabian, the tyrant who built the Tower."
"Back then, all three houses served Mondstadt loyally."
"Unfortunately, the Lawrence clan strayed,
succumbing to ambition and oppressing the people."
"They disgraced their ancestors' honor."
"But the Gunnhildrs and Ragnvindrs upheld their oath—
an oath sworn to protect Mondstadt's green plains, hills, forests, and mountains,
forever keeping the land free."
"Compared to Inazuma's corrupted dual commissions
and Sumeru's decayed Akademiya,
Mondstadt's surviving noble houses are truly admirable."
"These are historical matters.
If there is interest, I can open a 'Nation History' series later."
"In summary:
Yes, Barbatos is lazy—
but his taste in choosing people?
Quite excellent."
"From the noble houses to Vanessa, he picked well."
Transcendent Chat Group
[Zhongli]: To uphold their oath for centuries… They deserve respect.
[Nahida]: As expected, the Anemo Archon has good judgment!
[Venti]: Ehe~
[Paimon]: Hey! They said Anemo Archon, not Venti! Why are you 'ehe~'-ing?!
[Yanfei]: Lawrence… That's Eula's family, isn't it?
[Amber]: Yes. Because of the name, the public gives her a hard time.
[Jean]: We all know Eula is a good person. She's excellent in the Knights too.
[Furina]: Treating an innocent girl like that is wrong.
[Alhaitham]: We aren't Mondstadters.
We cannot logically judge trauma we never lived through.
[Diluc]: Unless the Lawrence sins are cleansed completely, things will not change.
Outside Mondstadt
Eula watched the light curtain quietly.
Her expression dimmed.
If she could choose,
she would never have picked the bloodline of sinners.
She also wished she could live like a normal person.
But—
How does one erase the sins of an entire clan?
She felt lost.
Yet, as she listened to the livestream,
a spark lit within her heart.
Maybe…
that person could give her an answer.
But today's review was not hers.
So she buried that thought for now—
and waited for her turn.
