1 Barbara is Cute!
Chapter 1
Mondstadt City, Teyvat
Inside Good Hunter restaurant.
Good Hunter is a shop found in the City of Mondstadt. They sell simple food, cooking ingredients, and cooking recipes.
A young man around the age of 19 years old was sitting near the counter.
He was good-looking with short-black hair and black eyes.
He is the current owner of the restaurant, Jason Stone.
Jason bought the majority of the shares of Good Hunter from the previous owner. Then, he transformed it into his abode in Mondstadt.
'Today's weather is good, and I'm still as handsome as ever.' Jason thought narcissistically as he looked down at his reflection in the pocket mirror.
"Let's check my status panel. It's been a while." He muttered, and an information panel that only he could see appeared in front of him.

...
After looking at his status panel in satisfaction, Jason started stretching out.
Adhering to the principle of attracting customers through fine cooking, the kitchen of Good Hunter has always been located outdoors, and Mondstadt's customers are used to eating at the outside booth.
Therefore, the number of diners eating inside the restaurant is relatively small.
So at such lunch hour, the number of people inside is negligible.
"Stormterror has become more and more irritable lately."
Jason murmured to himself, with anticipation in his tone, "It's starting soon, huh... A traveler from another world should be arriving soon..."
Another lovely voice sounded beside him as his voice fell, startling him.
"What's starting? Isn't Mr. Jason a traveler from another world?"
"???"
Jason hurriedly looked back.
A lovely girl with short blond hair tied in pigtails was sitting on a wooden bench. She was wearing a white frock that was open at the shoulders and a large white and blue bow in the front, white tights, white ankle boots, and a blue and white cap. Her hands were constantly rubbing her calves.
Her cute and lovely face occasionally showed a painful expression as she pinched her thighs.
"Barbara?"
Jason was surprised for a moment and then joyfully called her name.
He woke up not long ago, and his mood became better after seeing her.
Do not ask why!
Cuteness is Justice!
"When did you arrive, Barbara?" Jason inquired.
"Before that..."
Barbara rubbed her calf and said, "Mr. Jason, did you just wake up? It's already noon; you shouldn't be so lazy."
"It doesn't matter. I'm just an ordinary citizen after all."
"No, Mr. Jason is popular and recognized by most of the people in Mondstadt and the knights. So, you should work harder to be a role model."
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Jason spread his hands helplessly and said, "Please let me laze around while I can. I guess it is going to be busy soon..."
"Are you referring to Stormterror?"
Barbara stared at him with her clear blue eyes and asked with anticipation, "Mr. Jason, don't tell me that you found a solution to the Stormterror incident?"
"Nope..." Jason shook his in denial.
Stormterror is getting more and more irritable, meaning that the activities of the abyss order are getting more and more frequent. Likely, one of the twin travelers, 'Prince' or 'Princess,' is already in charge of the order. The key to solving the incident is finding the other traveler.
Jason has been waiting for this moment for almost a year.
About a year ago, Jason transmigrated into the world of Genshin Impact.
He suffered a lot in the start and finally gained a foothold in this world after a year of hardships.
If it weren't for the presence and support of many familiar characters such as Barbara, Jean, Kaeya, Diluc, Fischl, etc., he wouldn't have the will to struggle.
"Speaking of which, Barbara, did you ditch the church to come here? Aren't you afraid of sister Rosaria scolding you?" Jason asked with a meaningful smirk.
"Ah!! Mr. Jason, please don't tell sister Rosaria about this." Barbara waved her hands in panic and pleaded with him with her moist blue eyes. Her watery blue eyes almost dealt a critical blow to his heart.
Do not ask why!
Cuteness is Justice!
"So you sneaked out of the church at the risk of being blamed by sister Rosaria?" Jason asked while trying to maintain his expression.
"Well, today's lunch is relatively light, so..." Barbara poked her fingers, looking involuntarily at the separate stove on the restaurant's second floor. There was no sign of fireworks in it.
Seeing her cute actions, Jason smiled and patted her head gently, "What do you want to eat today?"
The stove was a new furnace Jason asked the blacksmith Wagner to build after he moved in. Sometimes he wanted to cook for himself without the hassle of going out.
"Please don't touch my head. I won't grow tall if you do so." Barbara grumbled in dissatisfaction, but Jason's words quickly attracted her attention.
"Mapo Tofu!" She replied immediately.
"What about money?" Jason asked again.
Barbara's delicate lips were pressed together, and she reluctantly took out 10 moras from her pocket.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing this, Jason couldn't stop laughing. "It's tough for you, Barbara."
The cheapest Teyvat Fried Egg on the menu costs 200 mora, not to mention Mapo tofu, which is not even on the list.
"I only have this much money."
"How about I invite Mr. Jason to eat at church next time?" Barbara said in embarrassment. She didn't have the face to ask anymore.
"Alright, instead of money, why don't you call me brother, and I will cook your order?" Jason requested in anticipation. He had long wanted to hear her calling him her brother.
"Brother Jason!?" Barbara shyly said.
"Thank you." Jason gently patted her head and went over.
As far as he knew, Barbara, who came from an aristocratic background, was definitely a rich girl. Who knows how much money she saved in her little piggybanks?
Jason went over to start the fire, and when the stove was hot, he opened the window and called out, "Sarah, bring me some tofu."
"Yes, boss!" Sarah responded from outside.
She hurriedly came in with a box of tofu. And she couldn't help complaining, "Boss, the number of tourists and businessmen are decreasing in Mondstadt, and our business has been affected. It's a lot worse than before."
Good Hunters mainly serve outsiders, and locals come here to eat occasionally.
"After all, a wind dragon is active nearby, and businessmen and travelers dare not come." Jason understood the reason.
He chopped up Jueyun chili as he spoke, and a pungent, spicy smell spread out.
Barbara sniffed the smell, and her eyes brightened. She couldn't help running over to watch him cook.
With her hands behind the back, and her feet wrapped in white tights, she stood on tiptoe on the floor and started humming a lovely tune.
