Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Looking at the two people who were originally at loggerheads gradually letting go of their sharp edges and coming out of the state where they could not talk at all, Lawik smiled gently.

"Well, it's not too late to talk about this after we finish the performance."

"Moreover...rather than apologizing, I think that continuing to perform and not wasting the efforts the leader has put in to train us is the best way to remember and apologize to her."

Hearing what Lawik said, Wilman's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he nodded apologetically.

Paimon looked at the two people who had completely calmed down and nodded gently, then said with a smile:

"Now that you two have calmed down, what should we do about the ending of the play "Daughter of Water"?"

As Paimon spoke, he turned his gaze to Furninna who had been talking just now, as if he wanted her to give an answer.

And Funina seemed to have thought of a solution long ago, and said as a matter of course:

"Of course - step down from the stage for a while and review what you have overlooked in the torrent of emotions."

"The ending of the story should return to Captain Oretti herself. She is the only protagonist."

Hearing this, Ying was slightly stunned, as if she remembered the relics she saw when searching Vash's laboratory.

"Maybe there is a way to know what she is thinking."

Finina put her hands on her hips, smiled and nodded, then continued:

"That being said, we have only seen the result of 'Oleti being dissolved' and we don't know if she left behind something deeper."

"What exactly did she go through when she disappeared? Did she commit suicide to avoid being humiliated? Or was there another hidden story? We don't know any of this."

"In my opinion...we should at least continue investigating."

Funina raised her head slightly and looked at Chang Ming who was standing beside her. A cunning look flashed in her beautiful eyes, as if she was... taking a little revenge of her own?

And because Funina suddenly stopped talking in the middle of her words, Ying and Paimon also followed Funina's gaze and looked at Chang Ming, with a look of realization in their eyes.

"Oh! Although Fu Nina is no longer the water god, as the regent, Chang Ming must be able to find some evidence from the registry of the Chasing Shadow Court, right?"

Hearing Paimon's words that sounded like he was praising one and putting one down, Chang Ming's mouth twitched slightly, and then he nodded helplessly.

"That's right, but... to be on the safe side, I still hope Mr. Wilman can look for it somewhere else in the troupe. Maybe he can find more clues."

Wilman, who was suddenly called out, raised his head in shock, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

"Eh? Me, me?"

He pointed at himself, as if he didn't understand why Chang Ming specifically asked him to find it.

"Since you are the one who knows the most about this matter in the entire troupe, you might as well think about whether Ms. Oretti has told you anything and where she put down her things."

"Based on the personality you described...I guess she's already prepared for this."

Chang Ming said with a smile.

Looking at the smiling Chang Ming in front of him, Wilman nodded blankly, which was considered as agreeing.

As if everything had been arranged, and as if she was thinking about her own small "revenge" on Chang Ming, Funina nodded with satisfaction.

"No one would question that the story of "Daughter of Water" would end with Captain Oretti's true feelings, right?"

Everyone in the troupe nodded but said nothing.

"Let's go, let's go to Zhuying Court and Momang Palace. As for everyone in the troupe...please look for them as Chang Ming said."

"No matter what the final search results are, how about we meet at the theater where you usually train tomorrow at noon?"

Claude nodded, and then quickly led the troupe back to Fontaine.

——After all, they don’t have the Eye of God, and it’s getting late...it’s still a bit dangerous to stay outside.

Moreover, the small theater and Mo Mang Palace are not in the same direction. They can't ask one of these people to take them back to Mo Mang Palace, right?

Looking at the mighty team leaving here, Funina nodded with satisfaction.

"Well~ It's time, we should set off~"

......

Funina and others arrived at the Momang Palace on time. As soon as they entered, they saw Sedna wandering back and forth in the empty hall.

Her little ears twitched slightly, as if she heard the sound of several people pushing the door open.

"Hmm? Lord Chang Ming, and Lady Funina? Why are you here? Is there something you want to take care of?"

Chang Ming nodded and gently rubbed Sedna's head, then continued:

"Well, we want to investigate the belongings left behind by the victims of the "serial disappearance of girls" case."

"Of course, if it's okay... I also want to look at the interrogation files. There is one thing that concerns me."

Hearing this, Sedna blinked at first, then nodded as a matter of course.

"That's fine, but...it's been a long time since those events happened, so there might be some trouble with the procedures."

As Sedna spoke, she turned her gaze to Ying and Paimon who were standing behind Chang Ming and Furninna, and changed the subject:

"However, since the person who submitted the evidence is here, there is no need for special filing. Please wait for a moment, I will go and handle the formalities~"

As Sedna spoke, she jumped away from the counter and went to the archives room of Momang Palace to start basic registration and search.

After Sedna completely closed the door of the archive room, Paimon blinked slightly and asked:

"Hmm... So even Chang Ming, the regent, has to register and report when he wants to check something?"

Chang Ming nodded as a matter of course.

"Of course, that's the rule. As the one who made the rules, I certainly can't go beyond the rules, nor can I give any preferential treatment in the slightest."

"Otherwise... wouldn't I be selling both the spear and the shield and hitting myself in the face?"

Hearing this, Paimeng nodded as if he understood, and then changed the question.

"Then why did Chang Ming want the interrogation record? Did he discover something unexpected?"

Chang Ming nodded, and then expressed his own opinion.

"The reason is actually very simple, because there is a relatively large gap in this matter."

"What happened between 'Oletti arranged for the troupe to go outside Fontaine' and 'Oletti was confirmed missing'? Has the real murderer been caught?"

“That’s what I want to know.”
