Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

"Why don't you believe me either?!"

Fininna's words and the somewhat disappointed look in her eyes were like steel needles piercing Villette's heart, causing him to feel a sharp pain.

But... he had already prepared himself mentally. No matter how painful it was, he would make Funina express her opinion today.

Even if I can't find out what her plan is, I have to at least ask her for some of the information she knows.

As people of Fontaine, all information related to the prophecy should be shared by everyone. Only in this way can there be more solutions.

The more solutions there are, the greater the possibility that Fontaine can escape the deadly ending predicted.

In this matter...no one is wrong.

Thinking of this, Villette took a deep breath and continued:

"Ms. Funina, in that case...we can not talk about anything directly related to your plan. Let's exchange other information instead."

"Yesterday, the blond traveler and I explored an ancient ruin in Baisong Town. Deep inside the ruins... we saw three stone tablets related to the prophecy."

"Regarding these three stone tablets...are you aware of them?"

Villette's tone was serious, just like every trial he had presided over in the past five hundred years, serious and oppressive.

Although this was not his original intention, in Villette's consciousness... no tone or way of asking questions could be more effective than this.

Hearing this tone that sounded like a trial of a criminal, Finina narrowed her eyes slightly, and then spoke mercilessly:

"Although I don't understand why you suddenly spoke to me in such a tone as if you were interrogating a prisoner, but... I learned a saying from Chang Ming, which is that caring too much can lead to confusion."

"I just think you are being disrespectful to me because you care about Fontaine."

"As for the stone tablet you mentioned... I have no idea. I can even say that I didn't know there were any unexplored ancient ruins in Fontaine."

Upon hearing this, Villette frowned slightly, and looked up and down at Funina in front of him with his gray vertical pupils. He couldn't tell whether what she said was true or false.

After a brief thought, Villette continued:

"Well then... There were originally four slabs of stone. The first one is missing, and the other three are engraved with different pictures, which should all be related to the prophecy."

"That's my second question. The second stone tablet depicts the former water goddess Egolia kneeling on the ground facing the floating island in the sky, as if she was confessing her sin."

"Regarding this... you, the one appointed by Egolia herself as the next god... don't you know either?"

Having said that, Villette raised her head again, her grey eyes fixed on Furninda in front of her, trying to discern something from her answer and her expression.

And Finina looked into those grey eyes without the slightest fear, and said firmly:

"I've said before, I've never seen these stone slabs, and I don't know why Egolia would do something like kneeling down."

Looking at the pair of strange eyes without any hesitation, Villette retracted his gaze as if he was interrogating a prisoner, then lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

"Is this so..."

In Navilette's opinion, if one were to find the person on the continent of Teyvat who was most familiar with Egolia...it would only be Fininna.

After a brief thought, he raised his head slightly, looked at Furninna who was looking at him without any fear, and continued to ask without changing his expression:

"I ask again, do you really have no information about the previous generation of water gods?"

"The message I interpreted from the second stone tablet is that...Egolia apologized or confessed for something."

"Regarding these contents...you should be the one who should know the most."

Villette's eyes were sharp, and he stared at Funina intently. At the bottom of his gray vertical pupils... there was a hint of doubt.

Facing Villette's second inquiry, Funina said unhappily:

"Every god has his own secrets. The previous generation is the previous generation, and I am me. It's normal for me not to know the secrets of the previous generation, right?"

"Besides, Villette, you yourself believe that it was the previous water god apologizing or confessing his guilt. You have been sitting in the position of the Supreme Judge for five hundred years, right?"

Having said this, Funina shook her head first, and then continued:

"I'm not talking about the distant trial. I'm talking about the recent missing girl case. Did you see Marcelle admit her own dirty deeds? Didn't she plead guilty only in the face of overwhelming evidence?"

"Why do you think that Egolia would tell me these dirty details?"

Funina hit the nail on the head. In the 489 years of Chang Ming's companionship, Funina had been more or less influenced by Chang Ming.

And now... is when those "influences" come into play.

Villette looked at Funina, who had a determined expression in front of her, and was speechless for a moment.

From what he just said...he saw the shadow of Chang Ming.

This sudden sense of déjà vu made Villette a little dazed, and even his original doubts were temporarily dispelled.

But he soon discovered the problem: Furninna was making excuses.

She deliberately compared people and God, who were essentially different, in order to disrupt his logic.

This just proves one thing...Funina definitely has a problem with this matter, otherwise she would never compare two fundamentally different things.

And according to the records of the ancient books of Fontaine...Egolia is not a vicious person, but a gentle god who is kind to the core.

——How could a gentle god... hide the mistakes he made and let his successor bear it all alone?

Thinking of this, Villette took a deep breath and then spoke:

"Ms. Funina, I know that you have been using certain means and channels to investigate matters related to the prophecy. This is not surprising, but rather a reassuring sign."

"But that's not the problem. It's that even if you investigated, nothing was done. That's what's strange."

Having said that, Villette paused for a moment, then continued:

"The logic of your behavior is totally inconsistent with your thinking... and your exaggerated performance so far. What on earth are you..."

Hearing what Violet said, Finina's eyes suddenly widened and she bit her lips lightly. Her brain was thinking rapidly...what to do next.

Soon, Funina thought of a way to deal with it.

"Well, Villette, since you are so concerned about me... then you should understand one thing: there is no point in questioning me or doubting me."

"Because I am the Water Demon God of Fontaine, the god who represents justice. I don't want the prophecy to come true more than anyone else. Everything I do is for Fontaine to continue to exist!"

"As the Supreme Judge, you are also my subordinate and should obey my decisions. But why do you keep questioning me?"

Having said this, Funina closed her eyes slightly, and then slowly opened them after a while, and said in an unprecedented calm tone:

"I'm disappointed, that Villette."

After saying that, Finina turned and left Villette's office, not even bothering to look at the traveler standing at the door.

For her...the most important thing now is to get away and find a place to reorganize her thoughts.

If she stays here any longer...she's likely to reveal more flaws.

"Hey..."

Finina sighed silently, then slowly closed her eyes and prayed in her heart:

"I hope I can delay it until you can sort this out, I hope..."

Because the final judgment is coming soon, all kinds of foreshadowing and hooks have to be recycled. I will post one chapter in the morning and try to post four chapters in the afternoon ()
