Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Chapter 554 Preliminary Discussion, Unexpected Guests

There are only a few ways to please a child: play with him, give him delicious food, and give him fun toys.

Although Lenore's growing environment is somewhat different from that of ordinary children, but... no matter how different it is, Lenore is still a child, and these three tricks are still useful, and can even be said to be extremely effective.

After all...there were not many children of the same age as her in Mello Petersburg to play with, and even the jailers who felt sorry for her didn't have that much time to play with her.

Now, three "good wizards" who suddenly arrived were willing to spend more time playing with her, which made her more excited than anything else.

"Hahaha! Sister Ying, I found you again!"

Lenore looked excitedly at Ying, who was spreading his hands in front of him and pretending to be helpless. Her black eyes were flashing with a pitiful excitement.

"Linol is so amazing, oh...I lost again~"

Paimon spread his hands helplessly, a hint of concern in his black eyes.

A few short and simple games not only brought them closer together, but also allowed Ying and Paimon to have a new understanding of this little girl who was born in Mello Petersburg.

She was lonely and she longed for a playmate, but there were none here.

If things continue on this trend, Lenore's mental health will start to deteriorate sooner or later.

If you still want to make amends by that time...it will be too late.

So - they must bring Lenore from here to the surface and let her receive a proper education. Only in this way can they save her future.

Her figure should be running under the blue sky and on the green grass, instead of slowly rotting in this deep-sea fortress.

Thinking of this, Ying and Paimon nodded to each other at the same time. They both saw the determination in each other's eyes, and the "Linol Rescue Plan" began.

Ying looked at the breathless little girl in front of her, gently touched her head, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then said softly:

"Are you hungry? Do you want to go to the cafeteria to eat first?"

Hearing this, Lenore shook her head quickly and then said:

"Sister Ying, I'm not hungry yet. Shall we continue playing hide-and-seek? This time I'm going to make sure you can't find me..."

goo—

As soon as she finished speaking, Lenore's stomach made a rumbling sound, as if protesting against what she had just said.

"Ugh!"

Linor's face turned slightly red, as if she was a little embarrassed. Then she stuck out her tongue and said seriously:

"Ahem... But then again, I am indeed a little hungry..."

As she spoke, she looked at Ying who was smiling at her tenderly, then reached out and grabbed Ying's sleeve, refusing to let go.

"Sister Ying, can you still play with me after dinner?"

Hearing this, Ying blinked in confusion, but when her gaze fell on Lenore's black eyes... her heart trembled slightly.

She was afraid, she was trying to stay, she was happy about today's game of hide-and-seek but also a little worried.

What experience caused her to have such emotions?

Ying rubbed her little head while thinking this, and then asked softly:

"Of course, why would you ask, Lenore?"

"Because...the good wizard brothers and sisters who played with me before would leave after dinner, and then...they were always busy and had no extra time to play with me..."

"Some brothers and sisters disappeared after playing with me for a while. I heard from other wizards that they returned to the surface of the water and would not come back..."

"Just like my mother..."

As Lenore spoke, some crystal tears appeared in the corners of her eyes, which made people feel pity for her.

Ying sighed softly, then slowly squatted down, hugged Lenore in his arms, patted her back gently and said:

"We are free these days, we can play with Lenore all the time, it's okay..."

It was not until this moment that she realized that Lenore’s resistance to being above the water was not just about “her mother’s departure”, but also about the departure of her playmates.

The reason why she didn't want to go to dinner was, to put it bluntly, she was afraid that after dinner, the two of them would start their shifts like the other prison guards and would have no time to play with her.

——As long as fixed events do not occur, problems will never arise.

A rather childish way of thinking, but one that fits Lenore’s mentality very well.

Paimon looked at the two people in front of him, pursed his lips helplessly, and then said softly:

"Don't be afraid, Lenore. Ying and I will play with you and we will never leave here suddenly~"

"It's just that... Lenore has to promise us to eat well and sleep well. Only when you have a good body can you have fun, right?"

"...Um!"

Lenore nodded gently, then wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and excitedly pulled Ying towards the concession canteen.

"Sister Ying, hurry up. If it's too late, there might not be any delicious food left!"

Looking at the little figure struggling to pull her, Ying sighed slightly in her heart.

Judging from Lenore's situation, it will be a long way to go before she can return to the surface.

......

"So, you don't want Lenore to go to an orphanage, but stay with her family?"

"Yes, although staying in the orphanage can make up for Lenore's childhood, but...when she reaches school age, she will naturally fit in."

"But the company of relatives is essential during childhood. She has lost her mother's company now and cannot afford to be without it any longer."

Caterpillar looked at Chang Ming in front of him quite seriously, as if to say, "We can talk about other things, but not this one."

Chang Ming thought for a moment and then nodded slightly.

"Although I really want to say something that respects Lenore's personal opinion, this is impossible given the current situation."

"I will work towards this direction later, but it will take some time."

"I know that for Lenore, the world above the water is still unknown and scary. This will take time."

"Then I won't say much about this matter. Now... let's talk about another thing."

As Chang Ming spoke, he took Seymour out of the Eye of God and gently placed him on the ground.

"It is the creation of Alan Giddens, the "Master of Wonders". He has a close relationship with your Narcissus Cross Society..."

"Can you tell me something about this thing?"

Looking at the mechanical dog that suddenly appeared in front of him, Carterpila suddenly froze, and ripples of memories were rippling in his black eyes.

But this ripple did not exist for long, and was completely interrupted in an extremely abrupt way.

"Uh..."

Caterpillar covered his head and looked at Seymour in front of him, with a look of pain and apology on his face.

"I'm sorry... My memory is a little fragmented. I have some impressions of this dog, but they are very vague. They are just some bizarre scenes."

It seemed that because the pain brought by the memory gradually faded, Caterpillar's expression gradually became calm, and then he said softly:

"Although I have lost my memory, I can still confirm that... this mechanical dog is related to the Narcissus Cross Society. This is the only information I can provide."

"that's enough."

Chang Ming chuckled and nodded, then he knocked on Seymour's mechanical head with a meaningful look, and then said:

"Anyway, you and Ying are going to investigate the Narcissus Cross Society next. You might find some unexpected surprises if you take it with you."

"Okay, enough small talk. Now you can tell me what the Narcissus Cross Society was doing back then?"

"..."

Hearing this, Caterpillar, who had always known everything, turned his head slightly, as if he didn't want to mention these contents.

But soon, Carterpila straightened his mind, he slowly closed his eyes and said softly:

"In the beginning...Alain and Rene were both working on different things."

"Alan has been devoted to the study of autonomous machines with self-awareness, and from this mechanical dog... I see traces of him, so I guess this must be a creation of his."

"And Rene has been studying the power of the abyss. He wants to save the people of Fontaine from the predicted disaster."

"Similarly, the power of the abyss also saved my life. Otherwise, I would have been taken away by the disease and become a wandering soul in the world."

"They are definitely not the most evil people, and they are definitely not as crazy as Fontaine believed at the beginning..."

"Time and the power of the abyss have worn away too many of my memories. Now I can only rely on the few fragments of memory I have to recall the past... I'm sorry, this is all I know."

"that's enough."

Chang Ming stood up slowly, the signature smile on his face not fading in the slightest.

"I still want to know one more question - do you know where the other sites of the Narcissus Cross Society are?"

"know."

"That's even better~"

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he could foresee the result that he would be a hands-off boss and wait until the last moment to come forward to pull Rene out of the primordial fetal sea.

After all, exploring this kind of thing is still a bit too energy-consuming for Chang Ming.

Of course, this situation is just something we can think about.

As a character who can influence the direction of the plot, his current situation is that once he gets involved, he can't stop.

Even if he doesn't want to get involved in this matter anymore, it will sooner or later find its way back to his face in another form.

If events are compared to formulas, then Chang Ming is the variable in this formula. Once he changes, the result of the entire formula will also change accordingly.

Instead of making things complicated, it is better to make yourself a little tired and make things simpler.

Anyway, I don’t know what the other outcome of the incident would be, so the solution I’m working on is definitely the simplest.

The one who follows the mind is a person who follows the mind.

Thinking of this, Chang Ming nodded slightly, and then said:

"I will also be involved in what happens next, because a lot of key information in the Narcissus Cross Society case is missing, making the entire case look like a nonsensical drama."

"As the regent of Fontaine, it is my responsibility to fill in the blanks of this case and make this case of great significance to Fontaine... completely clear to the world."

While saying this, Chang Ming looked at Caterpila deeply, as if he was hinting at something, or expressing some emotion of his own.

And Caterpillar obviously understood Chang Ming's codeword, and then nodded slightly.

"Thank you for trusting me, but before I go exploring, I need to make sure Lenore is settled."

"No problem, this is also part of my plan."

"You are very clever."

"Excellent."

......

After chatting with Carterpilado for a while, Chang Ming got up and left Melo Petersburg.

The so-called play must be played to the fullest. Since he had already said that he came to Mellow Petersburg to interrogate relevant prisoners, he had to go back and make an investigation record.

Although it was something I did for myself, as long as I kept this evidence, I wouldn't have to worry about the relationship between Melo Petersburg and Mo Mang Palace being exposed.

Everything is reasonable and legal, and there is no special "care".

As for those nobles whose property was confiscated by Chang Ming and who were given "special care" by Leosli...

That was Leosley's personal behavior and had nothing to do with him.

Just like that, Chang Ming walked towards Mo Mang Palace while thinking about things, and on the way... he met an unexpected friend.

Amelie, a famous perfumer of Fontaine and also the "site cleaner" specially commissioned by Zhuyingting.

"Long time no see, Mr. Chang Ming, how are you doing recently?"

"Hmm? Ah... It's Miss Amelie. Hello. I hope you're doing well lately."

Chang Ming replied with a smile.

He knew very well that the nature of Amelie's work meant that she would not have much interaction with him, but today she appeared in front of him, which meant...

She has something to ask herself.

"What can I do for you? I'm just about to go back to the office to make a basic interrogation record. If that's okay... let's go to the office and talk?"

Hearing this, Amelie was slightly startled, then she chuckled and shook her head.

"...As expected of you, the Regent. Your insight is different from that of ordinary people."

"I do have something to talk to you about, but it's not about my job, it's about perfume."

As Amelie spoke, she took out four perfume bottles of different colors and handed them to Chang Ming, then said softly:

"A lady asked me to rush to make these four different scents for you. I thought...you don't usually use perfume, so you suddenly need these things, so I made them as quickly as possible."

After saying that, Amelie paused for a moment, then took a few steps towards Chang Ming's direction, and her originally elegant smile became a little... gossipy.

"Are you going to give perfume to four different girls? One is calm, one is free and easy, one is gentle, and the last one is full of mystery. You are really..."

Hearing this, Chang Ming's mouth twitched slightly, and then he sighed helplessly and said softly:

"...Ms. Amelie, first of all, I didn't commission anyone to make perfume, secondly, I already have a fiancée, and finally..."

"I hope you can tell me who asked you to make these four bottles of perfume?"

----

Suddenly I felt that this sentence was very touching and planned to write it in my new book.

May your grave be a happy one, may you die laughing.

[God is just a group of funny objects, and I am just one of them]

The love and development story of the happy agent and the girls who shine in the world is currently being saved.
