Quest DescriptionAfter helping to clean up the Cathedral, you get ready to meet Barbara at The Cat's Tail.
The Cat's Tail's Specialty[]
- (Look for Barbara around The Cat's Tail)
- Paimon: Huh? Look at that crowd of people! And there's Barbara!
- Paimon: What's going on here?
- Barbara: Uh... Th—Thank you for all your support... P—Please, one at a time...
- Schulz: Barbara-sama, I never expected I would have a chance to meet you here today! Are you here attending to matters for the Church?
- Barbara: Ah, I—I guess you could say that...
- Herman: Barbara-sama, may I get your autograph?
- Herman: I— My daughter Ellin is a big fan of yours...
- Barbara: Oh, is that so? Hehe... A—Alright, just one moment...
- Susie: Oh gosh... Barbara-sama, I love your style! Please tell me how I can be more like you!
- Barbara: O—Oh, really? Well, I—I am still learning and growing myself...
- Barbara: I—I guess all I can say is... Do your best every day!
- Schulz: Oh, Barbara-sama!
- Herman: Barbara-sama!
- Susie: Barbara-sama...
- Barbara: Ohh... Oh my...
(Looks like we might need to intervene...)- (Barbara needs rescuing from the crowd...)
- (Talk to Herman)
- Herman: Barbara-sama, can I get an autograph? Ellin would be so happy, she's your biggest fan!
Barbara's currently on leave, please don't disturb her. (−1 Heart)
- Herman: Uh... If she's on leave then... an autograph won't be a problem. Right?
- Herman: Barbara-sama, I — ahem, my daughter, eh-he — would love an autograph. Ellin really is your biggest fan!
- (Uh oh...)
- (Failed to persuade Herman)
- You won't mind if I check in with Ellin on that? Looks like she's training, right over th—
- Herman: Ah!? W—Wait! I, uh...
- Barbara is on official business right now.
- Herman: Oh, is that right! Well then, uh... I'll leave her to it. Ellin looks busy with her training, some other time perhaps...
- (Succeeded to persuade Herman)
- (Talk to Schulz)
- Schulz: Oh, Barbara-sama! You're so hard-working... If I put in as much effort as you, who knows where my apprenticeship would take me!
- Barbara's currently on leave, please don't disturb her. (−1 Heart)
- Schulz: Barbara-sama? On leave? Phew... For a moment, I thought I was disturbing her work...
- Schulz: Barbara-sama! Can I get an autograph?
- (This is bad...)
- (Failed to persuade Schulz)
- Barbara's working right now, please don't disturb her.
- Schulz: You... You must be the Honorary Knight! What are you and Barbara-sama doing he—
- We're... on official business.
- Schulz: Uh... Of course! Barbara-sama is working after all... Forgive me, I'll leave you in peace.
- (Succeeded to persuade Schulz)
- (Talk to Susie)
- Susie: Please, Barbara-sama, teach me your style! How can I be more like you?
- Please don't disturb her, Barbara's currently on leave. (−1 Heart)
- Susie: Oh — perfect! I've got so much to learn from Barbara-sama. She'd never have the time if she was working...
- Susie: Please, Barbara-sama, teach me your style! How can I be more like you?
- (Darn...)
- (Failed to persuade Susie)
- If it's Barbara's style you're after, you could start by being considerate to others.
- Susie: Uhh, sure... considerate to others... Huh? Aren't you that Honorary Knight? You and Barbara-sama must be...
- Uh — we're... on official business.
- Susie: Official business? Oh, I—I thought... Apologies. I—I just got so excited when I saw Barbara-sama...
- Susie: Yes, you're right... Being considerate to others is the right place to start.
- Susie: ...Barbara-sama and the Honorary Knight in the same place — this must be incredibly important official business... I—I'll take my leave.
- (Succeeded to persuade Susie)
- (If you managed to persuade everyone)
- Barbara: Huh? Where did everybody...
- They came to their senses once I'd given them the lowdown.
- Barbara: The lowdown... You mean, you persuaded them to leave for now...?
- I temporarily persuaded them to beat it.
- Barbara: Whew... I shouldn't be saying this but... thanks for intervening.
- Barbara: I understand everybody's enthusiasm, but the longer I stay here the more people will gather. It's always been that way.
- Barbara: I just don't know how to turn them away. In the end, the Knights of Favonius always have to come and restore order.
- Barbara: *sigh* If only I had your way with words...
- Barbara: Here, it's the Fantastic Summer-Serendipity Coral Sparkling Tea you wanted. I ordered this one especially for you.
- Barbara: I hardly ever get a day off. Why don't we... take a stroll outside the city together and finish our drinks?
- (Continue to Deaconess's Time Off)
- (If you failed to persuade Susie, Schulz or Herman)
- Barbara: Please, there's no need to rush... One at a time...
- Barbara: I'm sorry, can you wait a bit longer? I'm still on a break...
- Susie: Barbara-sama! There's still so much I want to learn from you!
- Herman: It would make me— uh, my daughter so happy, Barbara-sama!
- Schulz: Barbara-sama! Don't forget my autograph!
- Barbara: Please! Settle down, I—
- Susie: Oh — I think Monroe might want one too...
- Schulz: And Mr. Wagner! ...Wait, he wouldn't want one, would he...? Uh — let me ask him, though...
- Herman: Oh! A friend of mine was asking about autographs, Barbara-sama — make that two!
- Barbara: Ohh my...
- They're gonna keep asking for more and more...
- Barbara: So sorry, please... H—Hold on a moment...
- Barbara appeases her fans while the Traveler waits, and waits...
- Barbara: Whew... Sorry to keep you waiting so long.
- I've waited longer...
- Barbara: You look like you're about to fall asleep! I feel terrible. It was me who invited you for a drink, and here I am wasting your time...
- Barbara: Here, it's the Fantastic Summer-Serendipity Coral Sparkling Tea you wanted. I ordered this one especially for you.
- Barbara: At least Miss Margaret didn't make our drinks in advance. The flavor would've changed completely by now...
- You don't look too good...
- You look exhausted...
- Barbara: Hehe, how can I put this... Those relaxing moments of freedom in Wolvendom...? The rush just now kinda ruined that for me.
- Barbara: But as long as I can bring everybody a smile...
- Barbara: Although, perhaps you can stay with me a while longer? Let's take a stroll outside the city and finish our drinks.
- Barbara: We have to seize every bit of free time we get, even if it only lasts a moment.
- (Continue to Deaconess's Time Off)
Deaconess's Time Off[]
- (While following Barbara)
- Barbara: It's nice to finally relax for a while — thanks for accompanying me.
- Barbara: Come to think of it, this is the first time we've gone for a walk together.
- Barbara: When I heard you'd received the title of Honorary Knight, I thought you'd turn out to be more of a solemn character.
- Barbara: But now that I've met you, I can't quite believe it. I never thought... O—Oh! I hope I'm not offending you!
- Barbara: What I mean is, for someone as young as you to achieve the title of Honorary Knight... It's amazing!
- Barbara: Jean... must really believe in you to grant you this title.
- Barbara: I hope I can be as great as you one day, so I can help everybody around me too.
- Barbara: But for now... all I can do is sing.
- Barbara: ...
- Barbara: Ah! So sorry, always thinking about myself...
- Barbara: ...We've walked a long way — why don't we take a break up ahead?
- Barbara: It looks so peaceful here, nobody's passing through except us. Let's rest for a while.
- Just now, in the city... why didn't you just tell them you were on leave and walk away?
- Barbara: There's more than one answer to that question.
- Barbara: A deaconess shouldn't ever be self-interested or let other people down...
- Barbara: But at the end of the day, it's like my father said: I just don't know how to turn people away.
- Barbara: My father and Sister Victoria always told me, if I wanted to become a proper deaconess, I would have to learn how to turn away others.
- Barbara: But I've never been able to... When I see somebody in need, I lend a hand without a second thought.
- Barbara: If I see somebody struggling, I want to help them solve the problem. If somebody comes to me with a request, I can't help but do my best.
- Barbara: No matter how tiring, I'm happy as long as I can bring a smile to everybody.
- Barbara: *sigh* Perhaps... I'm not a proper deaconess after all.
- That sudden crowd back there in the city... you must be exhausted.
- Barbara: Hehe, I'm so used to it by now, but thanks for wanting to intervene.
- Barbara: Usually, the Knights of Favonius end up arriving to restore order. Then someone from the Church comes to escort me away.
- Barbara: It's happened so many times already, I don't really notice it anymore.
- Isn't it a little exhausting?
- Barbara: Of course! More than a little, to say the least...
- Barbara: But exhaustion for the sake of not letting everybody down is okay.
- What's the Barbara Fan Club?
- (This dialogue option is locked behind the specific dialogue choices you made up to now, see the section below on how to unlock this)
- Barbara: Heh, that thing? Uhh... It's a group of my Mondstadt... supporters.
- Barbara: But I'm usually in the Cathedral. The knights and sisters stationed outside the Church won't let them in.
- Barbara: So they support me in other ways — cleaning the Cathedral, helping their fellow citizens with difficult matters, stuff like that.
- Barbara: It's... very considerate, though sometimes they get carried away.
- And how many members does the group have?
- Barbara: Uh, I'm not really sure... but of the ones I know, there's Mr. Albert and Mr. Huffman.
- Ah yes, the knight...
- Barbara: Oh, do you know Mr. Huffman? He's a very strict knight, not to mention disciplined.
- Barbara: He's never asked for my autograph or tried to make conversation. Every time he comes to the Cathedral on official business, his face is a picture of seriousness.
- Barbara: I'd never have known if I hadn't overheard Mr. Albert talking about it.
- Barbara: When I found out, I had someone deliver my autograph to him. I hope he was happy with it.
- I get the feeling you're more popular than the average sister...
- Barbara: Yeah, it's a little embarrassing... Do you know what an "idol" is?
- Barbara: I guess you've heard that I... sometimes sing for the people in Mondstadt?
- Barbara: I can use the power of my Vision to heal physical wounds, but it's no use on someone afflicted by sadness.
- Barbara: I found out in a magazine that there was such a thing as an "idol."
- Barbara: In the magazine, it said that an idol was... a person that spreads love and hope through song and dance.
- Barbara: I don't know if it's really possible, but... at least the residents of Mondstadt seem to like my singing.
- There was once an idol who stopped a war with their singing.
- Barbara: R—Really? That's so impressive...
- Barbara: Do you know that idol? They sound like a mighty Vision bearer.
- Barbara: Still, using song and dance to heal the sick of heart... It's easier said than done.
- Barbara: I don't know if I'm up to it. I'm not even very good at being a deaconess...
- Why, sure you are.
- You're already a very gifted healer.
- Barbara: Aw, if that really is true... then that's amazing.
- Barbara: ...Thank you. It's been a long time since I've had such a long conversation, and it's all me complaining! Thanks for listening.
- Barbara: The support of an Honorary Knight goes a long way!
- Barbara: *sigh* So... we've still not finished our drinks! Let's finish them off while we're here.
- Barbara: We can rest today, but it's back to the grindstone tomorrow.
