Original God, starting from the sister against the brother

"Don't let your imagination run wild. Lady Funina would still care about these little things of ours?"

"What they asked me to teach them were two special methods of making the [Cheers to the Water God], and the two recipes I gave them were also recipes for the [Cheers to the Water God], not the ones you have in your hand."

"That's right!"

"As expected, I knew that my beloved Lady Funina would not do such a thing as snatching recipes from the people."

Vanagem, the owner of Debo Hotel, said excitedly.

"Okay, stop yelling in my ear. You're still pursuing art? Go to the kitchen and order me some dishes. We'll have a drink tonight."

"No problem, no problem. You can drink as many bottles of my collection as you want tonight."

"But please wait a moment before we drink together. I'm going to see off the great magician Linny and his magic assistant Linnet who are performing in the store today."

"go Go."

The chef waved his hand, picked up the decanter and took a sniff.

This bottle of fine wine is about to be ready.

.....

Fontaine, a waterway hub in the Ting district.

Chao Ke and Funina walked together towards Mo Mang Palace. On the way, Chao Ke hesitated again and again, but finally said what he had been holding back for the whole afternoon.

"Funina, have you ever thought about something?"

"what?"

"Then Villette might not like cake."

Chao Keben thought Fu Fu would do something extreme, or at worst, she would be silent for a moment.

But unexpectedly, Funina's answer was fluent, and she answered Chao Ke's question without much thought.

"Of course I know that. According to Villette's taste, cake is not a delicious food."

"But, it is his birthday after all."

“I think that what’s more important is the thought that goes into the food than whether it tastes good.”

"And a birthday cake is naturally the best way to carry my best wishes for him!"

"I can't give him another glass of water, can I?"

Chao Ke was slightly surprised. "Funina, do you mean that you really gave Violet a glass of water on his birthday?"

"of course."

Furninna crossed her arms and replied affirmatively.

"I heard that water can carry people's emotions, so I filled a glass of water with Villette's cup at the confluence of all waters and gave it to him."

"That's right. He was silent for a long time after he finished drinking."

He pointed his chin towards Comoso and spoke speculatively.

"Is it because the water carries the hardships of the people of Fontaine that makes him doubt his work?"

"No."

Funina shook her head. "Then Villette has done a great job. Although it cannot guarantee that everyone is happy, overall, the lives of the people of Fontaine are getting better."

"Why then?"

"Because...during that period, the water supply to Lujing Spring was mainly domestic sewage from the residents of Fontaine."

"Well, it just settled, and it hasn't been filtered yet..."

The corner of Chao Ke's mouth twitched. Domestic sewage seemed to also include toilet flushing water...

Well, then Villette's mere silence was enough to pamper Funina.

However, Furninna seemed to remember something and added to Chao Ke.

"actually..."

“That was not the worst.”

"I remember one time, Villette didn't talk to me for a whole week."

"Oh?"

Chao Ke's eyes lit up, and he moved closer to Fu Fu, "Tell me in detail, I want to hear it."

"It's nothing, I think it's fine."

Finina put her finger on her lips, recalling the past and said.

“That was the situation that time.”

"I heard that in some places in the neighboring country of Xumi, locals will prepare a [coconut charcoal cake] for friends who have birthdays."

"So, I found a chef from Xumi and asked him to make a big, authentic Xumi coconut charcoal cake."

“And, I remember I drew a big pattern on it.”

"On the night of Navillaette's birthday, I gave this big coconut charcoal cake to Navillaette."

"I remember that Villette ate it with great relish. He ate all the patterned pieces right in front of me and even said he wanted to take the rest home to savor slowly..."

"I just don't know why Villette ignored me for a whole week after that birthday."

"During those days, I also saw a document he drafted in the trash can in his office."

"It seems that they want to legislate to impose comprehensive sanctions on food from neighboring country Xumi entering Fontaine. They wrote a whole page about it, and then they blacked it out themselves in the end."

"really weird..."

Chao Ke bit his lower lip, trying hard not to laugh out loud.

Case solved.

Why would Navelette, who hates dry food, try the [Traditional Coconut Charcoal Cake] which looks extremely dry and have such strong hostility towards it?

It turned out to be a birthday present from Funina to him.

Judging from Fu Fu's description, Villette probably ate a lot that time.

Chao Ke touched Funina's head and said seriously.

"Treasure Villette. It's not easy for you to have such a friend."

"Now it seems that it was a wise choice for you to give Violet a birthday cake on his birthday. I think Violet will be very happy too."

Furninna looked up at Chao Ke.

"I always feel like you're teasing me."

"How could that be? You are a wise god, Furninna."

"Hehe, of course."

As the two chatted, the return journey soon came to an end.

At the end of the Momang Palace, Villette looked at the two people talking and laughing, and his hand holding the scepter tightened slightly.

But then, he sighed again.

"At least, Funina is back safely."

When Chao Ke saw Navelette standing, he couldn't help but recall the "domestic sewage" and "traditional coconut charcoal cakes".

I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Funina looked at Chao Ke beside her curiously.

"What's wrong? Is there anything interesting happening?"

"Nothing, just thought of something funny."

After "returning" Fu Fu to Villette, it was not too late.

So Chao Ke returned to the Buffati Mansion and planned to have dinner there.

Well, the kind with sister’s tofu.

However, when Chao Ke walked towards his sister's office, he vaguely heard a conversation.

Judging from the tone, it’s the little fox Linny.

So Chao Ke didn't go to open the door, but quietly walked to the wall of his sister's office, put his ear against it, and eavesdropped.

In the office.

Alechino, who was listening to the children's work reports, paused and frowned slightly, obviously noticing that someone outside the house was eavesdropping.

But after just a moment, after looking out the window, Alechino's frown relaxed.

The children monitored outside the house did not show any abnormalities, which means that the eavesdropper was not an outsider who broke in violently.

And now, it’s almost time for dinner.

There must be a lot of children in the hall outside, but they did not react or question the eavesdropper lying in the corner.

Then, there is only one possibility.

The one lying outside now is Chao Ke.

But why did Chao Ke have to lie in the corner and eavesdrop? He could have just walked in.

Alechino thought quickly while listening to Linny's report.

"There is."

Alechino thought about why Chao Ke didn't come in.

Linny...

Chao Ke wanted to hear what Linnie would report in his absence.

This seems to explain it.

Linny had some interactions with Chao Ke recently, or rather, Linny saw something.

Linny and Linnet have been recuperating recently, and today's performance was not a task assigned by the mansion, but an invitation they received.

Debo Hotel!

In just a few seconds, Alechino completed the reasoning and waved his hand to signal Linnie, who was reporting, to stop for the time being.

Alechino looked at Lini with sharp eyes and asked.

"You saw Chao Ke at the Debo Hotel this afternoon, right?"
