Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Chapter 272: Daughter of Water (Part )

Although people often say that "regrets will run through life", when you encounter regrets that can be eliminated by trying... you still have to give it a try.

We can't let regrets pile up, right?

Thinking of this, Chang Ming sighed slightly, then clapped his hands symbolically, as if he wanted to bring everyone present back to their senses.

Although this is a legendary mission belonging to the little blue cake beside him, but... according to Furninna's current identity and personality, it would be better to let him do the job of breaking the deadlock.

After noticing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Chang Ming cleared his throat slightly and then said:

"Since you have made up your mind to help write a new chapter for the troupe formed by Headmaster Oretti, you should understand the importance of your own skills."

"Rehearsal and running-in take time, and performance training for the entire troupe takes even more time. Only in this way... can we complete future performances together."

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

"Everyone, get ready to go, time waits for no one."

Both Chang Ming's words and his tone were quite serious, and as a result... the originally somewhat stiff atmosphere suddenly became normal.

"I understand. Thank you, Lord Chang Ming and Lady Funina, for your willingness to provide us with guidance. Please rest assured that we will not let you down."

As Poirot spoke, he bowed deeply to Chang Ming and Funina.

Poirot's behavior was like a signal, and the other members of the troupe also bowed deeply to Chang Ming and Funina one after another.

——It’s like worshiping a statue.

Upon seeing this, Ying and Paimon moved to the side tacitly. After all, it was not them that the troupe was thanking, and they naturally could not deserve such thanks.

Looking at the people in front of her who were bowing to her, Finina let out a long sigh and shook her head helplessly.

Only then did she realize how destructive what Chang Ming had done was.

If Chang Ming did not perform those fictional stories, it would mean...her own actions would still be misunderstood and disapproved by many people.

Although she herself didn't care much about this, after all, she was free again and there was nothing to worry about.

But...after a long time, those gazes will make people feel more or less uncomfortable.

Chang Ming directly turned all this around and made her get the respect she deserved.

Thinking of this, Funina raised her head slightly, looked at Chang Ming beside her with gentle eyes, and an imperceptible smile appeared on her face.

"Thank you...my Lord Regent..."

......

After the troupe finished their "worship" to Chang Ming and Funina, Chang Ming said goodbye to Miles and took everyone on the boat to leave Baisong Town.

According to Lauvic, Verment left the troupe after the murder of Captain Oretti and has been living in the wilderness outside Fontaine.

This also means that Chang Ming and his team have to go back to Fontaine, and then take the tracking ship to the wilderness of Fontaine to look for Verman.

Looking at the waves that were constantly being smashed by the ship, Paimon seemed to suddenly remember something and asked Lawik beside him:

"Uh...Lawvik, I have two questions for you."

"Since Wilman is somewhat reluctant to come, why must he be allowed to participate in this performance? Wouldn't it be better to replace him?"

"The second one is... I'm a little curious, what kind of story is the "Daughter of Water" you wrote?"

Hearing this, Lawik was slightly stunned, and then he turned his gaze to Poirot who was sitting opposite him.

In his opinion, as the creator of this version of the script, Poirot has the most say in the plot.

As if sensing Lawwick's gaze, Poirot, who had been looking at the broken waves with some sadness, turned his head and said softly:

"The beginning of the story is actually very... clichéd. Many operas are written this way, so I also used this opening and setting."

"A young pure water elf ignored the advice of her family and became a human."

"With her outstanding appearance, she gained friendship and love in the prosperous and bustling city, but accidents also followed..."

"Residents suddenly discovered that the fresh water around them was gradually disappearing, the land was drying up, and the plants were withering. Those who noticed the abnormality fell into panic."

"The daughter of water, Collio, and her lover took on the responsibility and worked together to investigate the truth of the incident."

"As for the reason...I referred to some notes of Oretti and some operas that were used to call for environmental protection, and finally determined the reason to be "the self-escape of fresh water."

Hearing this, Paimon blinked slightly, then said:

"Wait a minute, let me guess... Since it's related to environmental protection, is the reason for the "escape" of fresh water due to human waste and pollution?"

Poirot nodded, and then continued:

"Because the protagonist is a pure water spirit, she can read the thoughts of water at once, and she also tells her lover her true identity and the truth of the incident."

"Luck and misfortune always go hand in hand. Her lover accepted her and worked with her to find a way to restore the fresh water."

"And unfortunately... at this time, someone overheard this incident."

"The eavesdropper shifted the conflict onto Collio, making people think that she was the culprit for taking away the fresh water, thus putting her in a dilemma."

Having said this, Poirot slowly closed his eyes, exhaled a long breath and said:

"In the end, the daughter of water stepped forward and sacrificed herself to save her lover and all mankind."

And Funina, who had been listening to their discussion of the script, couldn't help but sigh:

"It's a pretty good ending. From admiration for a lover to love for the human race, it not only reflects the character of the protagonist Collio, but also shows her greatness."

"A successful script, a good characterization."

Fernina smiled and nodded, approving Poirot's script.

Hearing this, Poirot nodded happily. Just as he was about to say some template speech of thanks, he was interrupted by Dilfi.

"But... Poirot, you know that "Colleo" symbolizes the captain, right? She didn't have the chance to become a hero in the end."

"If we want to commemorate the leader, shouldn't we record the true ending?"

"The daughter of water died because of hatred, and those who loved her chose to remain silent because of the environment, and mankind eventually went to extinction."

Upon hearing this ending, Claude, who had been nodding his head in agreement, was stunned for a moment, and then began to shake his head frantically.

"Although I said I would not participate in your decision-making, but... this outcome is a bit too irresponsible."

Finnina also nodded in agreement. Her opinion was the same as Claude's. Although this ending commemorated Oretti, it was... too irresponsible to the audience.

Poirot sighed slowly at this moment, and then said with some sadness:

"Just like what happened to Captain Oretti, it's all worthless and inexplicable."
