Genshin Impact: Become a heart-stealing thief in the land of justice

After receiving the reply from Arecino, Yu Shui wore his own disguise mask and sat calmly alone in the morning when the prisoners were drilling screws in the production area and the guards were fishing around. On the railing of the cell block, he opened the letter that Arlecino had sent to him.

I don't know what my best friend has done during these days. Judging by the time... the diplomatic meeting between the Fools and Momang Palace should have ended.

Well... as expected, the first sentence in the letter mentioned this matter.

[As you can imagine, the diplomatic meeting between us Fools and Momang Palace has ended, and I also met face-to-face for the first time with the Lady Water God who has always been active in the court.

How should I put it, I'm starting to wonder if the information you once told me about the Water God was deceiving me. This Water God looks a little immature, and there are heavy traces of acting on the surface.

Or do you know her true nature, so you told me not to target that guy? I can't see through you, but I've done what you asked me to do. 】

What I'm doing to help...oh, do you mean to help scare that guy from Funina? Yu Shui was a little curious about how Arecino scared her.

[I disguised myself as you and tried to assassinate her]

Yu Shui:?

ah? Disguised as me and tried to assassinate Funina? You really know how to play.

[To my surprise, I almost succeeded... Under my sword, Funina recognized that I am not you, but she had no ability to fight back. Is she really the God of Water?

No matter what, it was pointless to assassinate her and it would cause unnecessary trouble. I let her go and was sure that she would not reveal this matter to anyone. As I expected...she didn't even get the money I gave her during the day. None of the cake was eaten. 】

"Good guy... It's a lie to scare Funina for me, but it's true to test her, right? I've told you not to overly target that girl so many times, but I still can't stop your actions."

But it was already expected, wasn’t it? Funina should have been prepared to face all this, but it was really rare for her to be able to recognize that the person played by Arlecino was not her.

……

"Hey? Kitty, why are you staying here alone? Don't you have a home to go to?"

On that quiet and peaceful night in Fontainebleau, in the deserted square, Funina was alone, far away from all the complicated world, and came here to enjoy the lonely quietness that only she could experience.

She found a curled up little black cat in the corner of the square, squatted in front of it and took it into her arms.

"Meow~"

"Would you like to come back to Momang Palace with me? I'll have someone to talk to at night. Oh...it would be great if that guy Yu Shui was here now. I can talk to him."

Funina was a little depressed because she couldn't meet her friend to talk, so she had to think of the little black cat as him.

At this moment, Arecino was wearing the thief's night robe found from Yu Shui's secret base, hiding in the night and sitting silently on a chair in the square.

His eyes followed the figure in blue.

"Water Goddess Funina...just let me see your background."

In fact, Funina was very excited when she first saw Arecino wearing Yu Shui's robe. She thought it was Yu Shui who came to play with her.

But as soon as she stood up, she noticed something was wrong... The person in front of her didn't have that inexplicable sense of intimacy from Yuan Hai, but instead was full of intimidation.

"You...you are not Yu Shui, who are you? What are you going to do?!!"

"... "

Arecino was not surprised that he was exposed. He pulled out his short sword from his waist and walked towards Funina step by step... The black cat screamed and ran away. Funina stumbled on the way to escape. The foot fell.

"Wow! Don't kill me, please don't kill me, help!

Woohoo... Yu Shui, where are you, please save me..."

"Huh? Do you miss him that much?"

[Ms. Funina collapsed on the ground, facing my sharp blade. She actually called out your name in desperation, which surprised me.

What is your relationship with her like? I became curious.

By the way, I plan to let my three children sneak into Merlo Petersburg to support me, and let them gain knowledge by the way. Please help me. 】

What is the relationship with Funina? Yu Shui knows in his heart that he is Funina's only one now, right? But I don’t know if I, being cursed by the abyss, am still in the blind spot of heaven’s sight.

Being so frightened by Arecino...that stupid guy would probably be frightened for a long time, but Yu Shui had no choice but to go out and comfort her now. He was a prisoner now~ He didn't even have many concession tickets.

And...Linny, Linnette and Femini are secretly sneaking into Merlot Petersburg? Good guy, it’s a mixed bag, and you still need his help... He can’t even protect himself now.

"Hey! Over there, don't sit on the railing, it's dangerous! It's working time now, what are you doing here?!"

After all, Yu Shui's figure attracted the attention of the guard patrolling the prison area, who scolded him and came over to discipline him... However, Yu Shui just turned his head and smiled helplessly at the guard.

Then he propped himself up and jumped down.

"Hey!!"

The panicked guard hurriedly ran over and looked down, but he didn't see even a shadow of the man. At this moment, he had rolled under the floor of the prison area, and Yu Shui, who was slowly climbing and moving, happened to be in the blind spot of his sight.

It's like he disappeared from the world...I wonder what prison legends can be spread.

After climbing up to the ventilation duct on the wall and hiding it again, Yu Shui looked down from a high position and saw a group of people coming towards the entrance of the management area. The leader was naturally Leosley, and the people following him were...

"Ah~ I haven't seen you for a long time. Xiavo Lei and her three younger brothers? Are these four people really enough to support Merlo Petersburg?"

Yu Shui had strong doubts about this, but their actions had nothing to do with him, and they would not affect his area of ​​action anyway.

He didn't know that the topic that Leosli and Schiavore were talking about at this moment was actually not a very pleasant one, but it was still related to him.

"Oh, so Duke Merlot of Petersburg, who has always been far-sighted and independent, stood on the trial platform and watched his lover being sentenced to death?"

"Where did you get this gossip? Didn't I stop him? If Clolind hadn't plotted against him, I might have been able to save him."

"Then how do you feel about him now? Phew~ He is a talent, but it is a pity that it is difficult to control. If such a grand ending is worthy of his status, I read the newspapers in the past few days. His name is Yu Shui. Bar?"

Xiavoile looked at Leosley beside her, trying to read this guy's facial expression... She failed. Leosley's expression management was top-notch at all times.

"What do you want to say, Schiavore?"

"Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm just concerned about your mental condition. There is also a situation like this in the police force. A police officer arrested a serial murderer and found out that the prisoner was her beloved husband. When she learned that her husband was After Merlot died in Petersburg, she herself went mad."

"...So in your mind, I am someone who would seek death and life because of my personal emotions?"

Leosley couldn't help but begin to wonder to what extent Fontaine's public opinion had developed recently. I seem to have a tendency to destroy my character.

"Stop talking about this topic, let's talk about business. You should also know from Navilette the reason why you came to Merlot Petersburg. In order to avoid panic, Momang Palace concealed the affairs of the Abyss from the outside world, and the Abyss is in At this moment, I have been eyeing this place for some reasons.

I won't interfere too much with your arrangements, and the guards can be called upon at will, but everything must be done without affecting the basic operations of Merlot Petersburg, and we can cooperate happily. "

"Well, it's a pleasure to work with you."
