Nonomi stared at the screen, her mind in a prolonged state of shutdown.
She knew her Prophecy was accurate, but...
Why did it feel like she hadn't prophesied at all?
Although she had seen the conversation that took place in Meropide earlier, she truly hadn't expected things to be so... complicated.
No, it couldn't just be called complicated; it was simply too coincidental.
If not for Alhaitham's letter, Edward would not have been caught and sent to Meropide.
As long as Edward remained outside, he wouldn't have lost faith in his family and sought to gain benefits for himself by abandoning them.
So... the key to the latter part even lay with the acting sage far away in Sumeru.
Without his letter, Yuto would have had to spend a long time and exert great effort to torture and completely suppress the old nobility.
After all, among the existing nobles in Fontaine... apart from those who had always been well-behaved, none were easy to deal with.
If they weren't shown the immense price of overstepping the rules... they probably wouldn't easily abandon those ideas of breaking the rules.
It was already like this when there was a God; what about now, when there is no God?
How lawless would they become?
No one knew.
Thinking of this, Nonomi let out a long sigh, suddenly feeling a bit fortunate for Yuto.
"If not for that letter from Alhaitham... what would Fontaine have become?"
Nonomi mused softly, then turned her gaze to the bullet comments on the side, hoping to glean some corresponding emotions from them.
But... unfortunately, most people in the live stream didn't understand what the epilogue of this legendary quest was about.
What should have been very clear... suddenly became muddled.
"Didn't they say genshin's story is 12+ and 8+...? Why does it feel like 18+ when it comes to Yuto?"
"My head is so itchy, I feel like I'm growing a brain..."
"Is there anyone with a good brain who can explain the plot of this epilogue? I feel like I can't understand human language anymore."
"I feel like it's extra content added to resolve the 'academic fraud' charge Lyney mentioned...?"
"This way... Yuto's chain of motives becomes clear. I initially thought if it was just a legal matter, it wouldn't be worth Yuto going himself. So those guys were playing for real!"
Looking at the somewhat confused bullet comments, Nonomi sighed slightly, took a sip of water, and began to explain:
"This epilogue appeared to supplement Yuto's chain of motives, and also to highlight Yuto's ability to strategize."
"Let's analyze the reasons why Yuto used what he himself considered 'unseemly political means'."
"Just as that bullet comment said, if it was just overstepping the law, Yuto could have just had the Spina di Rosula initiate a public prosecution. Why did he have to get involved himself?"
"If it was just throwing their entire family into the Opera House for Judgment, according to the Judgment's objective, strictly legal work process... it would probably be difficult to cause significant damage to the Noclan Family."
"Without inflicting a near-devastating blow on the Noclan Family, the parasites behind them would not stop, and the situation in Fontaine would become even more complex."
"From Yuto's actions throughout the entire legendary quest, it can be seen that ever since The Prophecy ended, he has been working to ensure Fontaine's long-term stable operation."
"Obviously, if a group with considerable wealth keeps stirring up trouble in Fontaine, then'stability' would cease to exist."
"To stabilize all of Fontaine, Yuto had to eliminate those restless elements, which specifically refers to the old nobles who wanted to overstep the law."
"What's more... what they wanted to do was not just overstep the law, but also kill one of the authorities in Fontaine, and the one with the highest prestige among the populace."
"From this, it can be seen that Yuto is not only protecting Fontaine's rules and order, but also protecting his colleagues from being troubled by these matters."
At this point, Nonomi paused slightly, then continued:
"Having said that... let's talk about the law."
"The law has strong binding power because everyone knows that the price of overstepping the law is quite severe."
"And now, Yuto is going to use the most direct method to bring the greatest deterrence to the old noble group led by the Noclan Family, thereby demonstrating the majesty of the law."
"But the problem is that the law is objective, and the cost of many things is not that heavy for these families."
"If you map it to reality, it's like the recent surge in labor arbitrations in S City. Companies have all the time in the world to arbitrate with you, but can you afford to wait?"
"Even if they are arbitrated, all they have to do is apologize, make up for overtime pay, and compensate. Has anything fundamental been shaken?"
"They will continue to do as they please. After they apologize, they will change their tune and tell you: I made a mistake, I'm sorry, but I'll do it again next time."
"Do you have any way to deal with them? As an employee, as a citizen, do you have any way? Obviously, you don't."
"So, matters like rectifying this kind of behavior can only be handled by the true upper echelons, by those who truly hold power."
"Let's go back to Yuto's actions. He didn't extort anyone; the Noclan Family themselves, out of guilt, handed over all these assets to ensure their survival."
"Secondly, Yuto did not fight fire with fire. He did not kill their entire family just because others wanted to kill him; he even left a way out for these people."
"In a sense, Yuto was already very benevolent. If it were anyone else... the entire Noclan Family would probably have died unexpectedly the next day."
Nonomi shrugged helplessly, then ended the stream.
She had just touched upon some real-world issues, and to avoid being held accountable... it was better to make a quick exit.
However, despite saying that, Nonomi actually went to make an analysis video for Yuto's legendary quest.
She had already thought of the title: "The Boldest Episode Written by a genshin Screenwriter!"
