Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Chang Ming looked at the back of the girl who was walking away like a golden rose, then looked at Navilette who seemed to be in a bad mood, and sighed softly.

"I'll come back to you later, Mr. Villette."

Hearing Chang Ming's words, Villette nodded slightly, then walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, looking at something.

Seeing this, Chang Ming shook his head slightly, then quickened his pace and chased after him.

He remembered... Navia didn't bring an umbrella today because she stayed up late and for other reasons, and the condition that Villette was in just now... I'm afraid that Fontaine will be sunny and then thunderstorms will come again soon.

Thinking of this, Chang Ming hurried back to his office, grabbed an umbrella, and then walked non-stop towards the gate of Mo Mang Palace.

——After all, he is Navia’s elder. At times like this... a reliable elder is needed to appear and comfort the child.

What Chang Ming didn't know was...when he was hurriedly leaving the office with an umbrella, a white hair popped out from behind the open door of his office.

Looking at the figure gradually moving away, Funina blinked slightly, then looked at the appointment schedule at hand, and finally chose to go out.

Funina and Chang Ming have been together for more than four hundred years. Although she doesn't know Chang Ming's ins and outs very well, she can at least say that she understands Chang Ming's style of doing things very well.

She had never seen Chang Ming so anxious before.

wrong.

It should be said...this is the second time Chang Ming has been so anxious within her sight.

The last time was three years ago, when the president of the "Rose Thorn Society", Carres, chose to use a duel to defend his innocence.

"What happened this time...? Did something happen again?"

......

Outside Momang Palace, Navia looked at the unchanged street scene in front of her, her expression a little dazed for a moment.

Three years.

She has been investigating the "serial disappearance of girls" case for three years.

I finally found some key clues through a case, but... he just lost it.

Whether it is Chang Ming, the regent who handles all the big and small affairs of Fontaine every day, or Villette, the supreme judge who keeps files of every case... there is no information about this person.

It was as if this person had evaporated from the face of the earth, as if...he had completely lost his life track in Fontaine and disappeared out of thin air.

For Navia, it was like being given a beam of light and then extinguishing it with her own hands.

She found it hard to accept this fact, but...

What can she do?

The girl, who was like a golden rose, slowly raised her head and looked at the gloomy sky of Fontaine, which was exactly the same as her mood, with mixed feelings in her heart.

——Is this the end?

——Is it true that my father’s injustice can never be cleared up?

These questions lingered in Navia's mind, like a nightmare that could not be shaken off.

Ying just looked at the girl standing not far away quietly without saying anything.

She knew very well that what she had to give Navia now was not comfort, nor words like "It's okay, there's Chang Ming's message", but a short period of quiet time.

——At least...it can't be her who comforts her.

Just as she was still thinking about how to communicate with Navia next, a hurried sound of footsteps sounded behind her.

Ying subconsciously looked back and found that the regent was hurried out with an umbrella.

"Navia..."

Chang Ming called softly.

The girl, who was as beautiful as a golden rose, naturally recognized the voice behind her and shook her head gently.

"I'm fine, Mr. Chang Ming..."

Chang Ming slowly walked to her side, sighed slightly and said:

"That Villette... didn't actually mean that."

"I know, I didn't control my emotions well."

Navia lowered her brows, she was very aware that she had just expressed some unreasonable emotions towards Violet.

As the current boss of the Thorn Rose Society, she is well aware of the importance of rules.

Rules are rules because they are unbreakable.

Although some rules can be changed appropriately, they are just minor details.

A rule like "Duel" is already quite heavy in itself and cannot be affected by the slightest external force.

No one can be an exception.

Article 3 of the Fontaine Law: Once a duel application is initiated...it cannot be revoked in any form or for any reason, and no one may interfere with the duel process for any reason.

If both Navillatte and Chang Ming had agreed to stop it at that time...the hole in Fontaine's law would have gotten bigger and bigger, and eventually become a joke.

Although this is true in terms of the overall situation, she is just a young girl and it is impossible for her to always consider the overall situation.

She... has feelings too.

Looking at the silent Navia, Chang Ming sighed again.

He knew very well that what was needed to restore Navia's emotions to normal was not comfort, but real guidance.

As a time traveler with a script in hand...Chang Ming knew very well how he should give appropriate reminders.

Or in other words, Navia is currently in a state of being "confused by the situation".

All she needed was a few words of reminder.

Thinking of this, Chang Ming immediately said:

"Navia, why don't you think about it from another angle?"

"Since this clue is broken and it will take some time to find a more direct clue, why not just start with the case back then?"

"You are much more mature now than before, and you have received much more information than you do now, right?"

Hearing this, Navia's gray-blue eyes looked at Chang Ming beside her in shock, and she was speechless for a moment.

At this moment, a hint of coolness fell on Chang Ming's head. Without hesitation, he immediately opened the umbrella in his hand and shielded himself and Navia from the rain.

"I remember it very clearly. It was raining heavily on the day of the crime, just like it is now."

"At that time, you didn't know that the Fontaine people could be turned into water, but now... you know."

Hearing this, Navia's pupils contracted violently, and the girl's face, which had originally seemed lifeless, instantly glowed with new brilliance.

"You mean to say...the people who were turned into water...all traces were washed away by the rain?!"

Chang Ming didn't say anything, but stood quietly by the side.

The pair of sea-blue eyes, as gentle as the sea, looked quietly at the girl in front of him, as if wanting her to calm down.

After a brief thought, Navia said softly: "Thank you, Mr. Chang Ming, I have to go back to Baisong Town first."

"My good partner, do you want to come with me to re-investigate what happened back then?"

Ying looked at Navia's rejuvenated posture, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise a little, and then she nodded slightly.

"Take your umbrella with you."

Chang Ming smiled and handed the black umbrella in his hand to Navia, then walked into Momang Palace without looking back.

His mission...is now accomplished.

However, everything Chang Ming did was seen clearly by a little blue cake hiding beside the stone pillar at the main entrance of Mo Mang Palace.

Looking at Chang Ming's hurriedly departing back, Funina blinked slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
