Hearing Fernina's somewhat dissatisfied voice, Delphi smiled apologetically and then said:

"I think... Mr. Chang Ming should have told you, right? Our leader, the founder of the troupe, Oletti... was one of the victims of the "serial disappearance of girls case."

"She is a loyal fan of Ms. Funina... Ms. Funina, and she started to go into opera because of your performance."

“She persuaded many homeless or depressed people to join the company, performed in the theater, wrote the scripts herself, and mentored each of us.”

"At that time, many people liked to watch our performances. The troupe was booming and getting better and better..."

At this point, a happy smile from the heart emerged on Dilfi's pale face, as if he had returned to that warm and happy time.

However, this happy smile did not last long, and was replaced by an lingering sadness.

Furninda could see that the sadness was a scar engraved deep in her soul and a nightmare that would never go away.

The girl took a deep breath and then said softly:

"And then...the accident happened, right?"

Hearing this, Dilfi nodded slightly, then lowered his head and stopped talking.

Looking at the somewhat sad Delfie beside him, Lawik sighed softly, then took over the conversation and said:

"Yes, after that... the troupe was in complete chaos."

"We don't know how to create, let alone manage. No matter how hard we try, everything that was painstakingly built up by Headmaster Oretti is collapsing bit by bit."

"And just when we were planning to seal up those wonderful memories and completely disband the troupe, Mr. Claude showed up."

“He came with plenty of Mora and business experience and the script of Boethius, which allowed us to continue to perform on stage.”

“Rather than letting those beautiful memories become a thing of the past, we should continue to pass them on.”

"To finish 'Daughter of Water' and replace it all with one flawless performance after another, that's the idea."

"It is also a gift from us to Captain Oretti."

After saying this, Lawik gently closed his eyes and stopped talking, as if he, like Dilfi beside him, was immersed in memories of the past.

Fu Nina looked at the two people in front of her, then looked at Chang Ming beside her, and said with some regret:

"I didn't expect it to be like this. Among the many victims... there was also a talented civilian artist."

“‘A gift’… it really fits the definition of operatic romance.”

"It seems that agreeing to you was the right choice~"

Furninna smiled softly and said:

"As an experienced spectator and a frequent performer of all kinds of performances, big and small, I feel...I can provide you with more experience."

"I hope... you can carry on with the wishes of the troupe leader, promote the entire troupe and "The Daughter of Water", and let the whole of Teyvat know her."

"'Daughter of Water' will not be the last gift you give her, but it is indeed the most romantic one."

"Well, I really like this romantic color. It's a good choice to provide you with long-term guidance."

Hearing this, Claude, who was sitting not far away, was slightly surprised, but then he was filled with ecstasy.

This is long-term guidance from Fontaine’s most experienced performing artist!

With the guidance of a person of her level, the support of Mo Mang Palace, and the members who were recognized by her...

Why is Claude afraid of "not being able to spread the Fontaine Opera to the whole of Teyvat"?

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

"Ms. Funina...Ms. Funina, thank you for your help. What kind of compensation do you need? A share of the ticket sales? Or a regular salary?"

Hearing this, Funina smiled slightly, then looked at Dilfy who was also looking at her in surprise and said:

"I don't need any reward. If possible, please tell me more about the deeds of the captain."

After saying that, Funina glanced at Chang Ming beside her, a confident smile appeared on her face, and she signaled him to listen carefully to the next speech.

"Since I left the opera house, I've come to realize that when you sit up there and look down, you see only one side of the picture."

"The law can only judge crimes, but it cannot measure emotions. If a verdict can settle the dispute over guilt or innocence..."

"Where will the abundant emotions of the parties go?"

Having said this, Funina paused for a moment, as if to give everyone enough time to react.

After thinking for a while, Ying asked:

"Will it flow away little by little like water, and slowly be poured out?"

Finina nodded slightly and said:

"Interesting idea, but... when I asked this question to my assistant Chang Ming, he said:"

“Emotions are something unique to humans. They originate from the human heart and will eventually return to the human heart. As time goes by, they gradually settle and eventually transform into something more substantial.”

"That's what I thought, too, and today... I saw the tangible product of that statement."

Finina fixed her eyes on Dilfy and Lawik, who were listening to her attentively, and smiled gently.

"Just like your thoughts about the leader, the emotions are accumulated in your heart, and they settle little by little over time, and eventually become the "gift" they want to give to the leader."

"These are things I haven't seen in person before, and now... I want to take a good look at them."

Hearing this, Paimeng narrowed his eyes slightly, spread his hands and said:

"Uh... you still like to say this kind of thing that seems to be only heard in dramas-"

Before Paimon could finish her words, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine, as if something was staring at her.

She mechanically turned her head and looked at the source of the gaze——

At this moment, Chang Ming was staring at her with a smile, but Paimeng could not draw even a trace of laughter from that smile. Instead, she felt like she was being stared at by a ferocious beast.

Under Chang Ming's pressure, Paimeng chose to mute his microphone.

And Funina sighed helplessly, then stopped talking and continued to quietly watch the waves outside, waiting for the ship to arrive at Baisong Town.
