Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Chapter 271 Chang Ming's Mentality

Looking at Poirot who suddenly appeared at the door, Lawwick took a breath as if he had been pardoned, and then swayed his somewhat...fat body and ran quickly in front of him.

"You finally got it done. Come, come, let me introduce you. The two people in front of you are our performance consultants, Ms. Funina and Lord Chang Ming~"

Hearing this, Poirot frowned slightly, looked in the direction that Lawik pointed, and his brows, which were originally frowned due to suspicion, relaxed instantly.

Looking at Chang Ming and Funina standing there with natural expressions, Poirot almost had the word "shock" written on his face.

As if she sensed Poirot's somewhat shocked look, Furniture waved her hand gently and greeted Poirot normally.

Poirot rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and after confirming several times that it was not his eyes that were blurring his vision, he stammered:

"I, I am not seeing things, am I?! My God, when did you become so powerful? You can call Lady Funina and Lord Chang Ming to help at the same time?"

"Could it be that...during the time I was away from the troupe, you guys did something earth-shattering?!"

Poirot could hardly contain his excitement, and this was evident in the volume of his speech to Lovik.

Perhaps because Poirot's attention was on the troupe members, or perhaps because Chang Ming and the others were standing relatively far away, Poirot did not see Chang Ming and the others at first.

In a sense...this can be considered a foreshadowing.

Lawik, whose ears were buzzing from the beating, rubbed his ears with a look of confusion, and whispered in his ear:

"We didn't do anything earth-shattering. Mr. Claude asked these two to help."

In response, Chang Ming and Funina nodded in agreement.

"That's right. Mr. Claude said that because the heroine is not feeling well, he asked Lady Funina and I to perform for you and give you some pointers."

"Although... I don't think I'm very accomplished in opera directing, but I'll do my best."

"After all, if Fontaine Opera wants to be on the stage of Teyvat in the future... it still depends on you~"

Chang Ming said with a smile.

"I was deeply moved by the story of the troupe and its leader and wanted to help. There is no other intention."

Hearing this, the shock in Poirot's emerald eyes faded a little, and he said:

"But even if that's the case, that's... No, sorry, let me calm down for a moment, I need to think about... what I wanted to say just now..."

As Poirot spoke, he slowly closed his eyes and began to take deep breaths, as if he wanted to use this method to soothe his extremely shocked heart.

After about a minute, Poirot's breathing gradually stabilized and his emerald green eyes slowly opened.

"Well... since you two adults are here to help, and Mr. Claude and everyone in the troupe are here, I would like to ask you a question."

"During this period, I have not only been working hard to complete the script of "Daughter of Water", but also collected some... stories behind the "prophecy" in Baisong Town."

As Poirot spoke, he raised his head, looked at Chang Ming, who had a calm expression in front of him, and asked softly:

"Mr. Chang Ming, maybe this is presumptuous, but I still want to ask you..."

"More than a hundred years ago, what kind of mentality did you have in mind to expose Lady Funina's inner thoughts?"

Hearing this, Chang Ming nodded without any surprise, and then said without hesitation:

"Although more than a hundred years have passed, the colors of those memories have never faded even a little bit."

"After I consulted a lot of data, collected a lot of information and analyzed it comprehensively... I guessed that Lady Funina would use the Heart of God as a price to completely tear apart the prophecy."

"If I were to describe my mentality... it would be shock, admiration, worry, and some sadness."

Having said that, Chang Ming paused for a moment, then continued:

"As a regent, what I see of Lady Funina may be a little different from what you see, but..."

"When I came up with this conjecture and put it in front of her, and saw the shock and fear in her eyes, I just felt sad."

"If Lady Furninna is really as she acts... I think it's a good thing."

"After all, this duty means five hundred years of loneliness and pain. As a regent who has worked with her for more than four hundred years, I am also one of her few friends."

"It's normal to feel sad when you see your friends struggling in the quagmire of pain and you can't do anything about it, right?"

Hearing this, Poirot lowered his head slightly and did not continue.

As if sensing that the atmosphere was about to become strange, Paimon quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Well... now that we have found Poirot, does that mean there is still one Verment left?"

"Didn't we agree to start rehearsals quickly, then go on stage directly, and spend the rest of the time coaching the troupe? Then let's get going quickly, shall we?"

Hearing the name "Villemont", Poirot's originally calm expression suddenly became a little... weird.

——As if he had some grudge against Verment.

Poirot's change in expression naturally did not escape Chang Ming's sight, but he did not say much.

Although he didn't have the entire script in his hands this time, he still understood the relationships between the characters that had already appeared.

"It seems... before the show officially starts, I should discuss that matter with Villette..."

"If this gap continues to exist within this troupe... the external development of opera art may be hindered..."

"Let's try to temporarily bring back Ms. Oretti's consciousness...at least to let her say a few words to them."

Simply put, there are two things.

1. In September, I will try to maintain an update frequency of five chapters a day, which is words a day, and then finish it in mid-October.
