Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Looking at the light curtain that suddenly appeared in front of him, Chang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, and an indescribable emotion appeared in his eyes.

"So you were waiting for me here, no wonder..."

Chang Ming whispered softly.

"Hmm? Lord Chang Ming? Did you... say something?"

Claude, who had been keeping his eyes on Chang Ming, naturally noticed Chang Ming's mumbling and asked.

For Claude now, he is actually still quite afraid that Chang Ming will reject him.

Putting aside the marketing gimmicks, Chang Ming is, in a sense, the person who understands Boethius best in this era.

The best stage effect is to let the person who understands the role best perform a musical that is closely related to this role.

Thinking of this, Claude looked at Chang Ming with an eager look, as if he was very much looking forward to his answer.

And Chang Ming also shook his head slightly after a brief thought.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Claude, the content and weight of my work make it difficult for me to spare the time to fully participate in this kind of performance."

Hearing this, the light in Claude's eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by a deep feeling of loss.

He should have thought of this a long time ago. Why would the regent Chang Ming, who was so busy with official duties, choose to perform? This was really a bit -

Before Claude could continue thinking, Chang Ming threw out the second half of his words.

"but..."

"If this song is sung from the perspective of Boethius, who has ascended to the position of "Major Lawyer", there will be no problem."

Claude looked up in astonishment when he heard this. He looked at Chang Ming, who was smiling, in disbelief, and asked with a trembling voice:

"Are you, are you serious? Are you really going to be able to participate in the musical?!"

"Of course, after all, this is a step for Fontaine Opera to move to Teyvat, and I have also promised that I will provide all reasonable assistance within my ability."

"But... don't use my name, okay?"

Chang Ming said with a smile.

"Of course! Of course! What I, Claude, hate most are those guys who use the names of the actors to market their products. They and I are completely different!"

As Claude spoke, he stood up, bowed deeply to Chang Ming, and said sincerely:

"Thank you for your willingness to help me, Lord Chang Ming!"

"It's just a small favor. The specific time is set for the evening of three days later. How do you think?"

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions!"

After a round of greetings, Chang Ming finally sent away Claude, who almost kowtowed to him three times and nine times.

Chang Ming looked at the pile of documents in front of him, then looked at the disappeared figure of Claude, and sighed slightly.

The performance was three days later, not now. He still needed to think about his official duties at this moment.

——After all, this is his job.

"But then again, in this case... can Furninna's legendary quest really be related to me?"

Chang Ming tilted his head and thought so.

......

As time passed, the moment of performance came quietly.

Chang Ming arrived at the backstage of the opera house half an hour before the performance began and began to prepare for those short two minutes.

He took out the "Law Enforcement Agency" that was redesigned and processed by Qianzhi from the rectangular black gift box.

Judging from the overall tone...this dress is indeed the blue and purple that he needs, but it's not just these colors.

Qianzhi also used gold and sea blue lines to outline some smooth lines and notes on the dress, which seemed to symbolize Chang Ming's love of opera.

In addition, Qianzhi also prepared a cloak for Chang Ming that was similar in style to the ones worn by the Shadow Hunters, which could completely cover the upper body.

If we only look at this cape... the effect may not be that good, but once it is matched with this dress...

Chang Ming, who originally exuded a somewhat gentle aura, suddenly became a superior who came with a sense of oppression.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Chang Ming nodded slightly.

He was quite satisfied with this outfit. He was really satisfied with today's performance and his usual performance.

"Boethius..."

Chang Ming lowered his head slightly, his eyes flickered with a different look, his lips moved slightly, and he said softly:

“Love the road ahead of you…”

"Then continue on the path of 'Blessing the God of Water' with determination."

......

Chang Ming, neatly dressed, stood quietly behind the curtain, waiting for his two minutes to come.

As the lights on the stage gradually dimmed, the actors who were originally performing in the center of the stage also retreated to both sides, as if waiting for something.

"I'll leave it to you from now on, Lord Chang Ming!"

Claude's voice came from behind Chang Ming, and what was hidden in that voice was not anxiety, but expectation.

Hearing Claude's instructions, Chang Ming nodded slightly, then lifted a corner of the curtain and walked out.

Perhaps because of the dim lighting, Chang Ming was not recognized by many people the moment he stepped onto the stage.

Funina raised her head slightly and looked at the figure on the stage, stunned for a moment.

Perhaps it was because the lights on the stage were a little dim, or perhaps it was because they had been together for more than 400 years, so she was very familiar with him.

"Could it be..."

Finina lowered her head slightly, a strange look flashed in her beautiful eyes, and then she looked at the figure on the stage with some anticipation.

Chang Ming looked at the many spectators in the audience and a confident smile appeared on his face.

As the music slowly sounded, Chang Ming closed his eyes slightly and began his performance.

(It is recommended to be eaten with the French opera "Glory Bows to Me")

(In order to avoid the AI ​​​​check for plagiarism, I deleted a lot of lyrics and replaced them with expressions of meaning)

He raised his head slightly, as if thinking of Boethius's childhood when he was humiliated, and sang softly:

People often tell me to be content with the status quo.

[You have no right to any privileges or benefits]

[The bed you were born in doesn’t allow you to have high aspirations]

[People often laugh at me for being too bold and daring]

[No matter how hard you try, people are still judged by their appearance]

[Don't expect anything but bending your back. You are good for nothing else]

[Live in obscurity, never rise up, and spend your life in confusion]

[Either be born a king or be penniless]

These few lines of lyrics vividly describe the first half of Boethius' life.

In Chang Ming's voice filled with emotion and a bit of vicissitudes, people seemed to see the performance of Boethius just now.

He is the lowest guy in the tribe.

Everyone can bully him, and everyone can treat him as something other than a human being.

But all this changed after the Immortal Legion's iron hooves crushed his hometown and brought him back to the magnificent capital...

With his own efforts, he finally got the right to study in the college, and it was also at this time that he came into contact with his own beliefs.

——That is the great music of war and conquest.

After understanding this piece of music, he became even more enthusiastic about the "Supreme" Remus, and he completely became his devotee.

Conquer Fontaine and convert those barbarians...this is the will of the Supreme.

The supreme ideal is to turn the entire Fontainebleau into a magnificent and dazzling immortal palace!

And he, Boethius, will give his all for all this!

【Conquer the world or lose everything】

[Small favors, small power, small gains, insignificant]

[Others often look down on me like dirt under their feet]

[I will bury the foolish me in your eyes forever behind me]

【I want glory to bow down to me! 】

And he, Boethius...will also dedicate his name, his family, and his everything to this ideal.

Because....He wants glory to bow down to Him!

As the music reached its climax, Chang Ming also ended his singing.

In just two minutes, Boethius's thoughts at the time were fully explained.

Chang Ming perfectly illustrates the transformation process of a barbarian to a major lawyer.

A fanatical convert, everything he does... is to realize the supreme ideal.

Amidst thunderous applause, the curtain in front of Chang Ming slowly fell, symbolizing the end of the two-minute content.

The reason why Chang Ming was able to fully express Boethius's past and feelings was not because he had seen Boethius struggling.

Rather, it comes from what he and Boethius have in common - their unwavering faith in the gods.

I wrote nearly 4,000 words, but the plagiarism check wouldn't let me post it, and didn't mark any problems for me. I kept deleting and revising until 2 a.m. and it was finally finished. I was exhausted.

I will continue to follow up on this chapter in the afternoon update. It’s a headache. . .
