What Does Childe Call Lumine in Genshin Impact?

Greetings, fellow travelers! For those embroiled in Genshin Impact‘s lore and character dynamics, one question looms in the fandom – just what does the cunning Fatui Harbinger Childe call our lovely protagonist Lumine? Through official voice lines and fan event dialogues, it‘s revealed he refers to her as "ore no aibō" when speaking Japanese. Today, let‘s analyze the meaning behind this unique nickname and what it might signify about their close bond.

Sparring Partners? Or Something More?

As many fans have picked up on, Lumine and Childe share a distinctly positive chemistry – quite notable given his status as an antagonist. Between idle chatter about fishing, adventuring, and fighting styles, they appear perfectly at ease in each other‘s presence. Lumine‘s birthday letter from Childe further fuels speculation about their compatibility and potential future together:

"Today my adventure partner is having her birthday! Hahaha! We are going to have such fun today! I‘ve already prepared a gift for you, so come find me quickly! An exciting fight would be the best present…"

Could all this apparent flirting foreshadow romantic development for the popular ship? Or is reading too much into generic friendly dialogues? Before jumping to conclusions, let‘s analyze what we know about how Childe actually refers to Lumine.

Decoding the "Ore No Aibō" Moniker

Japanese-speaking travelers will have picked up on Childe addressing Lumine with the phrase "ore no aibō" – translating directly to my comrade/partner. This stands out from his general speech style – Childe tends to refer to most characters rather informally and directly by name without using possessive terms.

However, for Lumine, he stakes a specific claim on their partnership – a notable deviation highlighting his high opinion of her. Some fans argue he displays an almost protective affinity, as though declaring "she‘s with me". What secrets lie behind such preferential treatment from this otherwise self-focused fighter?

The Perfect Ship Set Sail?

Whatever the true nature of their bond, Lumine and Childe undeniably showcase fantastic chemistry both in battle and banter. In fact, they rank among Genshin‘s most popular shipment combinations, with over 5,000 dedicated works on Archive of Our Own already.

Analyzing the numbers, they edge out competitors like Lumine x Ayaka and Lumine x Yoimiya in terms of quantity. However, more textual evidence probably supports alternate ships like the Traveler twins together or with canon crushes. Ultimately, while ChiLumi can‘t be declared fully canon yet, I‘d peg it as a promising contender!
