Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

After ordering a "Casserole" and a "Duck Breast with Orange Sauce", Chang Ming set his sights on Clorinde in front of him.

"Miss Clorinde, is it that Furninna wants to see me back for something?"

Chang Ming asked softly.

Clorinde, who was drinking juice, blinked slightly when she heard this. After thinking for a while, she finally chose to confess.

She was not a good liar, not to mention that the person she was facing was... the person who knew people's hearts best in the entire Fontaine, no doubt about it.

Clorinde put down the cup in her hand and said softly:

"This morning, I heard you were going to ask for leave. At that time, I thought something happened in Fontaine and you needed to take leave to deal with it... so I followed you out."

"Although I'm not good at interpersonal communication, as a duel agent, if I need to kill monsters or something like that... I'm good at it."

Hearing this, Chang Ming's mouth twitched slightly.

Although he didn't know why Clorinde thought so, but...the reason sounded reasonable.

After all, in the eyes of most people, Chang Ming is a perpetual motion machine that does not need to rest, and this impression has been maintained for nearly five hundred years.

His days off were all public holidays and he never took any leave.

If the members of the Shadow-Chasing Court or the Law-Enforcing Court who often dealt with him knew about this... they would probably think that a natural disaster was about to happen.

Thinking of this, Chang Ming sighed slightly, then nodded to show that he understood, and then asked:

"Do you still remember Azar? He is the great sage of the Sumeru Order."

"Of course I remember. He treated you, Funina, and Fontaine very badly, but I always think you did nothing wrong."

Clorinde shook her head slightly, took a sip of juice, and then continued:

"Wanting to exchange a bunch of cheap condiments and some things that Fontaine doesn't want for Fontaine's steam machinery and parts... wishful thinking."

Hearing this, Chang Ming nodded without comment, and then diverted the topic away from this somewhat unpleasant place:

"By the way... Clorinde, are you really not going to pass on the skills of the Shadow Hunter?"

"It's really sad... In the 'Shadow Chaser Court' that was specially established for the Shadow Chaser to join Fontaine... there isn't even a single Shadow Chaser."

Hearing this, Clorinde was slightly startled, then she sighed and said faintly:

"For most people, the inheritance and training methods of Shadow Hunters are a bit...too cruel."

"Shadow Hunters... This kind of people only have one meaning for the former Fontaine, that is to hide in the darkness and clear the monsters for the developing Fontaine."

"Most of the Shadow Hunters think so, including my master."

“So our inheritance method is mainly aimed at surviving in various environments.”

Having said this, Clorinde took a deep breath, as if she was lost in her memories.

"As far as I can remember, the only Shadow Hunter I've ever come into contact with was... my master."

"She's very interesting, but she's not very good at taking care of children. Or maybe most of the Shadow Hunters are used to the life of hunting monsters every day and are not very good at taking care of children."

"I still remember when I was three years old, my master thought I was noisy and threw me a dagger as a toy. The result... is self-evident."

"My palm was cut at the time, but the master was not worried. Instead, she began to scold me slowly."

"So, she trained me while bandaging my wounds. After the bandages were done, she began to teach me how to use a knife."

"This is the creed of the Shadow Hunters. Everything...is based on survival as the main goal."

Perhaps because the last sentence had a heavy ending, the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly fell into silence.

After a brief silence, Chang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said to Clorinde:

"But it's okay this way. After all, the Shadow Hunters chose to remain silent on their own accord. In addition, this training method cannot be popularized on a large scale..."

"Let them stay quietly in history and become heroes living in the dark night."

Hearing this, Clorinde nodded slightly in agreement.

At this time, the waiter brought their meals to the table, and they began to enjoy their meals tacitly.

While the two were having dinner, Charlotte poked her head into the Debo Hotel and tilted her head slightly as she looked at the two people who were eating peacefully.

"Hmm... Miss Clorinde is one of the keys to overturning the case of "Injustice of Carles". Maybe we should give her an interview..."

"And Mr. Chang Ming... well, he should be interviewed."

Charlotte nodded heavily. After all, there were not many opportunities to interview the regent of Fontaine, not to mention meeting Chang Ming on the street, which was even rarer.

Thinking of this, Charlotte simply encouraged herself and walked to the service desk. After paying the meal bill for Chang Ming and Clorinde's table, she sat quietly aside waiting for an opportunity.

As an excellent and ethical journalist, there was no way Charlotte would sit next to those two and say something weird at this time.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to pay for their meal first and then make your own request.

After all, these two people don’t seem to be particularly busy right now, and they are both quite easy to talk to, so the possibility of them rejecting me is not high.

......

After Charlotte waited patiently for a while, Chang Ming and Clorinde finished their lunch and then stood up together to pay the bill.

However, when they discovered that their bills had been paid, Chang Ming was confused for a moment, while Clorinde became alert.

"Who paid the bill just now? What does he look like? How tall is he?"

Chang Ming looked at the waiter in front of him and asked.

The waiter hesitated for a moment, then said softly:

"It was a little girl with pink hair. She had a camera on her and a small red hat on her head. She looked quite energetic."

Hearing this, Chang Ming immediately knew who it was.

He nodded gently, then turned to Clorinde beside him and said:

"Don't worry, it's Charlotte. She probably saw us on the street outside, so she decided to take this opportunity to make a special..."

Before Chang Ming finished speaking, Charlotte, who was standing beside him, slowly stood up, looked at him with a professional smile on her face and asked:

"Um... Mr. Chang Ming, I'm the one who paid your bill. I want to do an exclusive interview with you and Miss Clorinde. What do you think...?"
