Only a few alchemists and some scholars from Sumeru found it fascinating.

Yura's "Waves and Foam" chapter, however, garnered a positive response.

'The Chapter of the Waves: Act One: The Waves Never Return to the Sea'

The story tells of how Jyn gives the traveler a special mission: to investigate the connection between the Lawrence family and the Fools.

The Mondstadt people were already on edge just from this opening.

Lawrence is the old aristocracy who rules them, and the Fools are the wicked who plot against the heart of God.

These two are hanging out together; it's like an annoying mother opening the door for someone she hates—it's utterly detestable.

The traveler found a member of the Lawrence family in the city.

【"Hello, we've come to..." Paimon greeted them politely and tried to explain their purpose.

However, the Lawrence clansman interrupted Paimon directly.

"Hello? Did I hear that right?"

"Hmph, rude and frivolous, just coming up to say hello like that."

Schubert Lawrence was very dissatisfied with the traveler's behavior.

"You should humbly introduce yourself and apologize now; that's standard etiquette!"

"Disrespecting a nobleman in terms of etiquette is at least punishable by a flogging."

"In today's world, rules have been abandoned, etiquette has been forgotten, and the corruption is utterly appalling."

Listening to Schubert Lawrence's words, Yingmei simply said it lightly.

"No wonder the old aristocracy is gone."

The citizens of Mondstadt, who had been watching with gritted teeth, finally breathed a sigh of relief with Yingmei's words.

The angrier person at this moment was not the citizens of Mondstadt, but Yura, who was absolutely furious.

She is working so hard to salvage Lawrence's image and hopes to gain everyone's approval.

But what about you? Clinging to the bad habits of the old aristocracy, you're frantically smearing Lawrence here!

Why can't my uncles and clansmen see the situation clearly?

Why, even though they no longer possess the substance of nobility, are they unwilling to abandon their aristocratic customs?

Does stepping on others make them so satisfied?

Yura didn't understand; she just wanted to be treated like an ordinary Mondstadt citizen.

She just wanted to be free from disapproving looks when drinking and from being spat on when eating.

She wanted to be like Amber, laughing happily and being loved by everyone.

If someone is willing to talk to her, she will always seize the opportunity to present her best social image.

It's really too difficult to have achieved what she has now... If she weren't a Knight of Favonius, taverns and restaurants wouldn't even allow her in.

Fortunately, Diluc and Sarah didn't discriminate against her and provided her with places to eat and drink.

In the story, the traveler tells Amber about his failure to build a good relationship and obtain information.

Amber said she knows people in the Lawrence family and can help travelers learn about Lawrence.

On Amber's recommendation, the traveler went to find Yura, but instead of finding her, he encountered the Fatui.

During the battle with the Fools, a girl wielding a greatsword appeared and came to the traveler's rescue.

[Girl: "Now all the credit goes to you. Is this what 'striking first' means? Damn it, I'll remember this grudge."]

Even though it was Yola who ultimately defeated the Fools, she naturally attributed the credit to the Traveler.

After some discussion, the group learned about the traveler's purpose, and Yura expressed her support.

Back in Mondstadt, Yola begins to teach travelers 'noble manners'.

[Yura: "Nobles value two aspects of etiquette most—speech and demeanor."]

"Let's start with their speech. Even in everyday situations, nobles have very unique ways of conversing."

Paimon said, "A special way of talking? I've already learned it—"

Little Paimon tilted his head back, put his hands on his hips, and said, "I'll remember this grudge!"

Yura: "......"

Wendy: "This feeling of stealing other people's lines is very similar to someone else's."

“That’s true.” Zhongli nodded.

Lin Qiu felt a little itchy in her nose.

The two old men were sitting together at that moment, and Zhong Li even had a drink with Wendy.

When Zhongli first read Wendy's story, she decided to have a drink with him.

I didn't drink with Wendy last time because there were children around.

As for why Wendy is with Zhongli...

That's because he also read the story of Liyue! The Geo Archon committed suicide, how could such a big spectacle be complete without the bard?

I'll watch the live version now, and later write a little poem about it and sing it all over the world.

"Speaking of which, even a thousand-year-old stubborn rock like you has a moment of enlightenment. What was the trigger?" Wendy asked curiously.

"I just feel that I have fulfilled my duty." Zhong Li took a sip of the wine Wendy brought.

His breakthrough came when he saw a port boss say to a worker, "You've done your job, now go and rest."

Whether the worker listened or not is unknown, but Zhongli did listen and wanted to rest.

"The ritual to invite the immortals is tomorrow, right? Your plan has been exposed. Don't you plan to change it?" Wendy asked.

Zhong Li shook his head. He had already made up his mind that no matter what future Lin Qiu wrote, he would not change it.

"What a stubborn person," Wendy muttered to herself.

It seems that only I, the Wind God, can surpass the 'prophet'.

Other gods simply couldn't do that, hehe.

Character Voice - Yura: About the Chapter of Waves

"Hmph, this author actually wrote about Lawrence's embarrassing side. I'll remember this grudge!"

Chapter 88 Yura Lawrence

Returning to the story of the Chapter of the Waves, Yura decides to appear and test her magic, demonstrating 'noble etiquette' to travelers.

Yura found a passerby and decided to use him as a demonstration.

"Ahem, busy man, why not pause for a moment? Do you know that the esteemed Lawrence family has come here to discuss important matters?"

"Please accept the honor bestowed upon you by the nobles with the utmost respect, with a solemn kneeling salute, um... and then what was it again? Oh, right, accept the honor bestowed upon you by the nobles with the utmost sincerity."

[Norman: "Why are you suddenly saying something so nonsensical?"]

Yura wanted to continue the conversation, but Norman didn't want to; he had absolutely no desire to have anything to do with Lawrence's people.

Paimon was puzzled by Norman's extreme aversion.

"Just because of Lawrence's name, it can't be that serious..."

[Yura: "It's alright, it's alright. I expected this. Let's go, we'll try someone else."]

Having found a second person, Yura once again resorted to her 'awkward' aristocratic etiquette.

"Ahem, a weary soul..."

The citizens of Mondstadt remained silent, frowning as they looked at Yura.

Seeing that the other party did not speak, Yura was at a loss, recalling how to deal with this situation according to aristocratic etiquette.

I think I was told not to linger my gaze on someone for too long, so as to highlight my status. Oh no, I think I've been staring for quite a while now...

Because she never cared about these aristocratic etiquettes, Yura appeared quite 'awkward' at this moment.

[Lenno: "Stop bothering me! Do I need to say something even worse?"]

As expected, he was unwilling to have much interaction with Lawrence's people.

Then the third person.

"A diligent person..."

Before Yura could finish speaking, Randall interrupted her. He knew Yura was going to say those awkward things again, and he didn't even want to listen.

All three gave the same answer.

The Mondstadt people who saw this thought they would feel great, but for some reason, they seemed to shift their perspective to Yura.

This is a problem with the story's medium, because novels have a main perspective.

The main perspective of this exchange is Yura, so they unconsciously empathize with Yura.

She even thought: Yura didn't do it on purpose. She didn't like those awkward etiquettes either. She just wanted to help the traveler investigate her uncle.

But this thought didn't last long; it was quickly overtaken by feelings of disgust. How could I feel sorry for Lawrence's people?

Then, they saw what Yura said next.

"There's no way around it; this is how it ends for those who make mistakes. Being punished for wrongdoing is only natural, right? But what if someone makes a serious mistake that they can't atone for?"

"Cities and winds have memories; debts that must be repaid will be passed down from generation to generation, and now it's my shoulders."

Yura never considered herself innocent, so she never hated the Mondstadt citizens who despised her.

As a descendant of sinners, she did not feel that her elders' sins were unrelated to her.

The premise of "the sins should not extend to future generations" should be that "the benefits should not extend to future generations." She had to admit that Lawrence was the place that raised her, so these were things she should bear.

She only wanted to change the way the citizens of Mondstadt viewed Lawrence through her own efforts, and wanted to sever the deep-seated hatred through her hard work.

But this is clearly not something she can do alone, unless she can represent the entire Lawrence family.

Wendy took a sip of his drink. He was the wind god of Mondstadt, but he wouldn't decide whose sins Mondstadt would forgive.

Whether or not to forgive Lawrence is a decision for the Mondstadt people, not for Barbatos.

Whether Lawrence can sever this grudge depends on Lawrence himself.

As long as they stop thinking about stepping on others, apologize for their past mistakes, and get along well with others, their sins will naturally disappear in time.

Unfortunately, Lawrence still didn't realize his mistake; only Yura did.

At this point, the citizens of Mondstadt had little change in their opinion of Lawrence, but some people had changed their opinion of Yura.

I hate Lawrence, but I no longer hate Yura Lawrence.

Returning to the story, Yura brought the traveler to the 'Deer Hunter', intending to treat the traveler to a meal and also prepare a gift for her uncle.

They also met Amber there, and the group ate together. Sarah even gave them an extra side dish.

It was a rare heartwarming scene for Yura.

After they finished eating, Yura thoughtfully hid Mora in her plate, because if they settled the bill in person, Sarah definitely wouldn't have included the complimentary side dish.

This further boosted the goodwill of the citizens of Mondstadt. "Even something given away for free is being paid for? Is this really Lawrence?!"

"It would be wonderful if Yura could be accepted by the citizens because of this story." Qin was genuinely happy for Yura.

“Yes, we should also thank this young author,” Lisa said with a smile.

The traveler in the story gained Schubert Lawrence's trust by using the 'etiquette' he learned from Yura and a dish of 'pickled meat'.

Then Schubert took the traveler to meet the Fools.

The citizens of Mondstadt are furious! This Lawrence really does have connections with the Fools!

Schubert: "Hmph, just some barbarians from abroad. They have plenty of strength but lack refinement, but they're still profitable as trading partners."
