The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [384]

"You want me to give them advice? Are you sure about that?"

Jia Changjiang stopped in his tracks, turning to look at Venti. "Are you really sure?"

"Mondstadt is the city of freedom," Venti replied with a grin upon seeing Jia Changjiang pause. "You’re free to do as you please."

He added, "But if you’re struggling to come up with good suggestions, you can always take a hint from me. How about it?"

"Deal."

Jia Changjiang nodded. "Then I’ll make sure to give these people some real relationship advice."

"I’m in too!" Lumine puffed out her chest confidently. "When it comes to love tips and dating advice—"

"I, Lumine, will not lose to anyone!"

"Then it’s settled!" Venti clapped his hands. "But first, let’s agree on some signals."

Together, Venti, Jia Changjiang, and Lumine devised a set of discreet gestures:

• Hands on the hips: Encourage them to go for it—seize the opportunity!

• Stroking the chin: Advise them to take it slow—no need to rush.

• Arms crossed: Suggest that they give up early to avoid unnecessary emotional investment.

With the signals established, Jia Changjiang was ready to take on the problems of Mondstadt’s love-struck citizens.

The first client…

A man named Marvin.

The name alone might not ring any bells, but if one mentioned the young couple at Starsnatch Cliff or the son of Goth, owner of the Goth Grand Hotel—well, then it might be a different story.

"T-The bard isn’t handling this?" Marvin looked flustered upon realizing his advisor had changed. "I mentally prepared myself to speak with him, and now it’s someone else—"

"What’s there to be shy about?" Jia Changjiang crossed his arms and spoke loudly, his voice carrying across the square. "Come on! Tell me your problem!"

"As honorary knights of Mondstadt, solving your troubles is nothing to us!"

Marvin visibly shrank at Jia Changjiang’s volume but eventually steadied himself.

"I… I like someone," Marvin admitted hesitantly. "Her name is Marla. She’s kind, hardworking… She helps her family on the farm and sometimes naps on a bench when she’s tired…"

"We often meet at Starsnatch Cliff. I want to be with her forever… and she feels the same way."

"That’s great! So what’s the problem?" Lumine raised an eyebrow.

What is it with Mondstadt people?

One after another, they keep showing off their happy relationships.

"But… my family is wealthy, and hers isn’t. My father doesn’t approve of our relationship," Marvin confessed, hesitating. "He’s strict and conservative, so I was hoping to use the Windblume Festival as a chance to gain his approval."

"But I’m not sure… If I give my father a dandelion as a Windblume, will he accept us?" Marvin was clearly torn.

"And what exactly were you planning to say?" Lumine asked.

"I… I want to tell him that Marla is hardworking and kind. That her hands, rough from labor, are worth more than any amount of wealth!" Marvin clenched his fists. "But I’m afraid he’ll think I’m being naive…"

At this, Venti, who had been listening patiently, placed his hands on his hips—signaling that Marvin should take the initiative.

Then, he turned expectantly to Jia Changjiang, eager to hear his take on the matter.

"Tch! What are you so worried about?"

Jia Changjiang smacked a hand onto Marvin’s shoulder.

"If you love her, then just go for it!"

"…Huh?"

Marvin froze.

He had expected at least some kind of encouragement—perhaps a thoughtful bit of wisdom.

But this was Jia Changjiang’s grand advice?

Jia Changjiang took a step forward, draping an arm around Marvin’s shoulders. "What’s the most important thing in Mondstadt?"

"…Freedom?" Marvin answered hesitantly.

"Exactly!" Jia Changjiang gestured toward the bustling square. "Look around! Everyone’s learning how to write love poems—do you know what you’re missing?"

"…What?"

"You’re missing courage and passion!" Jia Changjiang clapped him on the back.

"Your father has his reasons, sure—but the issue isn’t whether he approves or not."

"The real question is: Are you ready for the future?"

Jia Changjiang took a deep breath and shouted right into Marvin’s ear:

"Tell me! Why do you love Marla?!"

Caught off guard, Marvin stammered, "B-Because she’s kind and hardworking—"

"LOUDER!"

Marvin flinched. "B-Because she’s kind and hardworking…?"

"THAT’S ALL?! IS THAT THE BEST YOU’VE GOT?!"

"Marla is kind and hardworking and adorable!" Marvin’s voice grew louder.

"DO YOU WANT TO MARRY HER?!"

"I DO!"

"DON’T YOU WANT TO SPEND YOUR LIFE WITH HER?!"

"I DO!!"

"LOUDER!"

"I DO!!!"

"Good!"

Jia Changjiang firmly gripped Marvin’s shoulders.

"Your father doesn’t approve because he doesn’t know if you’ll be happy with her. So what do you need to do?"

"W-What?" Marvin blinked, still rattled.

"Show him that you will be happy together!" Jia Changjiang smacked Marvin on the back again. "If even you can’t show any passion, how do you expect anyone else to believe in you?"

"Forget the dandelions—go with Flaming Flowers!" Jia Changjiang’s eyes gleamed. "Be bold! If you want to spend your life with her, then show it!"

"Enough with the wishy-washy confessions—grab a bouquet, grab a poem, and march right up to your father and tell him the truth!"

Jia Changjiang’s repeated slaps to Marvin’s back seemed to knock all the hesitation right out of him.

"So—do you know what you need to do now?"

"…I DO!"

Marvin, now fully charged with enthusiasm, practically vibrated with energy.

"THEN WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!"

"I’M GOING RIGHT NOW! I’M GOING TO WIN OVER MY FATHER! MARLA AND I WILL GET MARRIED!"

Marvin took off at a sprint, bolting out of the square like a man on a mission.

Watching him disappear, Venti fell into deep thought.

Was that… too much enthusiasm?

Sure, Goth would probably approve in the end, but…

"Greenie, your advice…"

Lumine, still staring after Marvin, murmured, "That was really, really loud…"
