Looking at the dazed Miss Charlotte in front of him, Yuto frowned slightly, then reached out and waved his hand in front of her eyes, saying in a peculiar tone:
"Miss Charlotte, what's… wrong? Did you stake out here all night again?"
Hearing this, Charlotte finally snapped back to reality, then said with a hint of embarrassment:
"Ahaha… well… it's not really staking out, it's just that I had some questions I wanted to ask you, and I happened to foresee… Hahaha…"
Charlotte knew very well that the dark circles under her eyes were an undeniable fact, but she really didn't want to appear so… dishevelled in front of these two.
Looking at the awkwardly laughing Charlotte and the slightly prominent dark circles under her eyes, Yuto and Furina exchanged a knowing glance, then said:
"So… what questions does Miss Charlotte want to ask? Is it still about Jingshui Court? Or about Fufu?"
Hearing this intimate address, Furina's face instantly flushed, and she then elbowed Yuto in exasperation, signaling him not to say such intimate things in public.
Meanwhile, Charlotte watched the interaction between the two in front of her with wide eyes, countless versions of short stories brewing in her mind.
For her… all of this was somewhat shocking.
However, with the previous shock as a prelude, this time, although Charlotte was still very shocked, it wasn't to the point where she lost her soul and couldn't react in time.
"Ahem, Mr. Yuto, actually… I mainly want to know some… little stories about you and Lady Furina. I wonder if you could…"
Hearing this, Yuto narrowed his eyes slightly, first gently shaking his head, then said:
"I don't think you need to be so anxious about this. Those stories… will eventually be discussed openly."
"However… if you're really short on headlines, I think there's a piece of news today that would be quite suitable for Steambird Newspaper to publish."
With that, Yuto led Furina into Palais Mermonia first, and Charlotte, after a brief moment of stunned, followed them in.
The stories will be discussed openly?
A headline suitable for Steambird Newspaper to publish?
Could it be that Lord Yuto is also planning to resign?
Don't let that happen!
However, while Charlotte was lost in thought, Yuto had already led Furina to find the busy little Melusine in the hall.
Looking at the swaying blue figure, Yuto smiled slightly, then called out:
"Sedna~"
Hearing the call from the Vice President of the Melusine Protection Association, Sedna suddenly turned around, then said with some shock:
"Lord Yuto? And… Lady Furina?!"
Sedna spoke while quickly running up to them, tilting her head and saying:
"Is there any special instruction, Lord Yuto?"
Yuto nodded with a smile, then handed the visitor registration form from yesterday to Sedna, and said:
"Please find the Traveler and the playwright named Claude. Their addresses are on yesterday's visitor registration form."
"As for the message… just tell them that Lady Furina and I are waiting for them in the office. Did you hear that clearly?"
Yuto said while gently rubbing Sedna's little head, still smiling warmly.
"Okay! I'll go find them now!"
Feeling the warmth from above her head, Sedna nodded quickly, then darted out of Palais Mermonia.
After seeing Sedna off, Yuto turned to Charlotte behind him and said:
"Let's go, let's sit in the office for a while. They should be here soon."
...
After leaving Palais Mermonia, Sedna's first stop was the small apartment where Claude lived.
Although one play, "Boethius," had made Claude a fortune, he didn't use the money to enjoy life—
instead, just as he promised Yuto, he had been pushing for Fontaine Opera to reach the Teyvat stage.
Looking at the dilapidated walls around her, Sedna felt a wave of emotion.
She now understood why Yuto would collaborate with Claude.
From a spiritual standpoint… they were the same kind of people.
The kind of people who could sacrifice their own well-being for a greater goal.
Thinking of this, she gently knocked on the somewhat worn iron door and said:
"Hello? Is Mr. Claude—"
Before Sedna could even finish saying "in?", a man who was already fully dressed suddenly opened the door.
His eyes were filled with surprise and determination, as if he had long anticipated Sedna's arrival.
"Miss Sedna, may I ask… is Mr. Yuto going to give me the script?"
He looked at Sedna in front of him and asked in a serious tone.
Hearing this, Sedna gently shook her head, then said:
"Lord Yuto and Lady Furina are waiting for you in the office at Palais Mermonia. Please follow me."
After saying this, Sedna left without looking back, leaving Claude standing there in a daze.
Of course, he, who had long planned to make Fontaine Opera popular across Teyvat, did not daze for long, but quickly followed her.
He knew that his opportunity, the opportunity for Fontaine Opera… had truly arrived.
...
At this moment, Lumine and Paimon had just woken up, both yawning and tired as they walked out of the Spina di Rosula's stronghold in Grey River.
"Ugh… after sleeping in Meropide for a while… I think I can accept any living environment now…"
Paimon rubbed her eyes as she floated out of the room, muttering softly.
Lumine nodded in agreement, indicating that she strongly agreed with Paimon's statement.
After all… even the outdoor living environment was better than that in Meropide.
After a brief complaint, Paimon shook her little head slightly, as if trying to clear her mind, then asked:
"I wonder if Furina will agree to Claude's idea…"
"But speaking of which, the former Water God and the Deputy Administrator of Fontaine performing together on the same stage… that's unprecedented, isn't it?"
"We're witnessing history!"
Paimon said with a giggle.
Lumine nodded gently, and just as she was about to say something, a rather familiar voice interrupted their conversation.
"Miss Traveler, and Paimon, Lord Yuto asked me to come find you two."
Hearing someone call their names, the two turned their heads slightly to look in the direction of the voice.
Sedna also symbolically waved to the two, then said:
"Also, Mr. Yuto asked me to tell you both that he and Lady Furina are waiting for you in the office at Palais Mermonia."
Hearing this, Paimon first looked at Claude, who was following Sedna, then at Lumine beside her, shaking her little hand and giggling:
"It seems Yuto has convinced Furina~"
Lumine nodded, then said to Sedna:
"Thank you for your trouble."
