Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

After everyone watched Chang Ming deal with the three slimes that blocked their way, they never encountered any other monsters blocking their way again.

After all, every life has the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid danger. With Chang Ming, a god of death, in charge... I'm afraid no monster would dare to come and look for them.

——Mr. Slime, you don’t want to be cut into pieces and thrown on the ground like garbage, do you?

With no monsters blocking the way, Chang Ming and the others soon arrived at a blue tent on a small hill.

Looking at the extremely simple house, Paimon blinked slightly, then lowered his voice and asked Ying beside him:

"What kind of thing could make Wilman give up staying with his companions and live alone in this shabby place...which can't even be called a house?"

In response, Ying shook her head gently, signaling Paimon not to be anxious.

If nothing goes wrong...they will know the truth of it all next.

While Ying and Paimon were whispering, Lawik walked a little closer to the tent and said:

"Vilment? Are you there?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark figure began to move in the unlit, dilapidated house, and then a man in red walked out and looked at the people in front of him with some surprise.

"Hmm? It's you..."

As he spoke, he glanced at the people in front of him. Until he saw Chang Ming and Funina standing at the edge of the entire team, his dead-like expressions showed a hint of surprise.

"Why are Lord Chang Ming and Lady Funina here too?"

Upon hearing this, Delphi looked at Lawik and Poirot, who were both reluctant to talk, and sighed softly before speaking:

"Let me explain. Now you're the only one left."

As she spoke, she gently broke free from the support of the woman in yellow and began to explain to Wilman the whole story.

After listening to Delfie's story, Wilman frowned slightly and continued in the same calm and lifeless voice:

"So... you think that as long as we know the truth about the captain's incident, we can write an ending that satisfies everyone?"

Lawik shook his head slightly and corrected:

"It's not exactly like that, because the role and space you play...we have reserved it for you."

"Both The Daughter of Water and Mr. Claude's The Prophecy have roles for you, so we hope you can come back and continue to perform with us."

Hearing this, Wilman lowered his head slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said:

"Let's not talk about whether I will participate in the show or not, let's just talk about the "truth" you have always wanted to know..."

"The reason why I have kept silent about the truth is because "Daughter of Water" is extremely important, so I want to hide the truth after the performance."

"——Otherwise, who knows if there will be a chance to go on stage together."

As Vermand spoke, he turned his back, trying his best to hide his facial expression from his former companions.

He was well aware that he was guilty of an unforgivable crime, so he had been deliberately distancing himself from his companions.

Of course he wanted to continue to participate, but...if he told the truth, would they still be companions?

This question hangs like a sword of Damocles in Lawik's heart, which also prompts his current...escapist state.

Looking at the hesitant and sad figure, Poirot frowned slightly, then continued:

"Based on what you just said...I can only think that Oretti's accident had something to do with you."

"But if you don't speak up, things will never be resolved and we will never reach a consensus!"

"You're running away, Verment!"

Poirot's words hit the nail on the head, as if they had hit Verment's heart directly. He first groaned, then shook his head.

"I do not want to say."

Seeing his stubborn attitude, Poirot took a deep breath, then quickly walked behind him and said as calmly as possible:

"Listen, Verment, I used to think that my love for Oretti was something particularly shameful, and I never told anyone about it."

"But I am still willing to tell you now, just because I am ready to face everything and ready to give everything."

"'The Daughter of Water' would be incomplete without the feelings of Auletti -"

Before Poirot could finish, Verment interrupted him with a sigh.

"...Hey, that's why everyone says you're not smart."

"You all know that the company does not rely on ticket sales, but on voluntary donations from the audience... This money is simply not enough."

"We have to work part-time in addition to performing, but the operation of the troupe is still not optimistic."

"After a performance one day, a mysterious person found me and said he wanted to sponsor us, but the prerequisite was that we obey them completely."

"He also showed me their scripts, which were all obscene and could not be called operas or musicals."

"But I can't make the decision on my own. I can only go to the team leader to discuss this matter."

"She also said that she would handle the matter and told me not to tell you."

As Verman spoke, he paced back and forth on the grass. It was obvious that he was very anxious and nervous at the moment.

——It was as if he was wondering whether he should say those last few words.

"At the end of the matter... the mysterious man found her directly and demanded to have a good talk with her, otherwise he would make us pay the price."

"In order to protect us, the leader went to find the mysterious man alone."

Hearing this, Chang Ming sighed softly and said:

"Is that so..."

Chang Ming shook his head and his thoughts went back to more than 20 years ago.

Because he knew the plot in advance, after he gained a foothold in the position of regent, he issued a series of decrees to restrict the flow of addictive substances into the market.

This action also changed the original plot content.

In his memory, Oretti was probably targeted by the "Les" dealers. Because she could not afford the high compensation and wanted to protect other members of the troupe, Oretti became a "guinea pig".

In this timeline, the supervision of "Leshi" was very strict and it was impossible for it to be made public, so there was a change in the "reason".

"Is this... the predetermined fate..."
