Hearing Yuto's words, Paimon's eyes lit up instantly.
"Whoa! Really?! Can we earn another top-tier foreign assignment fee?"
Paimon was stomping her feet repeatedly as she spoke, as if she was incredibly eager for that hefty foreign assignment fee.
Meanwhile, the Traveler gently tugged at Paimon at that moment, signaling her not to be so direct.
Although she was also very much looking forward to this foreign assignment fee, she couldn't just say it so directly.
Watching the little drama that had played out more than once before him, Yuto smiled softly, then said:
"Since you're working for me and Palais Mermonia... of course, I won't shortchange the two of you on bonuses and corresponding salaries.
Besides, I made those rules myself. I wouldn't possibly shoot myself in the foot, would I?"
Hearing this, Paimon nodded her little head repeatedly, then exchanged glances with the Traveler, and the two of them left the office under Yuto's gaze.
After they left, Yuto's gaze fell upon Claude, who was intently reading the script beside him.
"Mr. Claude, I hope you can keep in touch with the Traveler during this period,
to ensure that this Fontaine Opera can truly touch people's hearts."
At this point, Yuto paused slightly, a smile appearing on his face.
"Of course, if this performance is a great success... Palais Mermonia will also have corresponding rewards."
"After all, this matter is extremely important for the development of Fontaine's cultural industry, and Palais Mermonia should also give some... rewards."
Hearing this, Claude nodded frantically.
"Yes! I, Claude, guarantee on my honor as a playwright that I will use everything I have learned in my life to complete the creation of this script!"
With that, Claude left Yuto's office with a determined expression, making Yuto's mouth twitch.
"Why do I feel... Claude is so determined he's about to join the party?"
Not just Yuto, but the other two people still in the room at this moment also had a new perspective on Claude.
Furina, standing beside Yuto, blinked somewhat inexplicably, seemingly surprised by Claude's current state.
In her impression... most playwrights worked due to their desire for self-expression and their desire to rake in large sums of mora.
Someone with such faith and goals... was truly the first.
And Charlotte slightly upgraded Claude's interview level in her mind.
Although her main reason for wanting to do an exclusive interview with Claude was because of the play involving the Assistant Administrator and the Former Hydro Archon, based on his performance just now...
"It's at least worth an exclusive interview."
Many years later, Charlotte, who had become the editor-in-chief of Steambird Newspaper, would look at the "Claude Film and Television Park" frequently appearing in the newspaper and always recall this bright and sunny morning, feeling sincerely fortunate.
...
After everyone had briefly complained about Claude in their hearts, Yuto's gaze fell on Charlotte, who was standing to the side.
"Miss Charlotte, this is the 'big news' I told you about."
"Palais Mermonia and an excellent playwright are jointly creating an excellent Fontaine Opera, and the Deputy Administrator of Fontaine and the Former Hydro Archon will also participate..."
"As for those private questions you asked at the entrance just now, I think... you will know when this Fontaine Opera is performed at the Opera Epiclese."
"Speaking of which, this news should be enough for tomorrow's headline of Steambird Newspaper, right?"
Hearing this, Charlotte nodded frantically.
"Of course it's enough, Mr. Yuto, of course it's enough!"
A hint of excitement and anticipation flowed in Charlotte's emerald eyes, as if she could already see how popular tomorrow's Steambird Newspaper would be.
Of course, this excitement and anticipation were not only for tomorrow's headline but also for the upcoming play.
After all... Yuto had just said that this Fontaine Opera contained the little stories she wanted to know.
Plus, this might be the only Fontaine Opera performed by two protagonists from history, and from the perspective of the plot and all aspects... this time it was definitely an insurmountable peak.
No one could understand the expression and reception of emotions better than these two individuals.
Thinking of this, Charlotte bowed slightly to Yuto and Furina, then, just like Claude and the Traveler had done earlier, quickly left the office.
After Charlotte's footsteps completely disappeared, Yuto sighed rather wearily, then gently rubbed his temples, seemingly having a headache.
"These matters are really a bit troublesome..."
"Having to consider their relationship, and also selectively keeping secrets and referring to other things, this is truly..."
In response, Furina did not express her opinion immediately but gently walked behind Yuto and, in place of his hands, gently massaged his temples.
"Alright~ haven't things ended? Relax well~"
"Hmm... once this matter is over, my probationary period at Jingshui Court will also be almost over, and after that..."
"We can set off, right?"
"As expected of Fufu, she knows everything."
"Of course I know everything."
"Then do you know I love you?"
"I know, of course I know~"
...
Just as Yuto and Furina began a new round of affectionate exchanges in the office... the Traveler and Paimon were traversing the streets and alleys of Fontaine.
The salaries of Palais Mermonia's special foreign assignment personnel were quite generous, and even for the sake of mora, they had to work hard.
Looking at the bustling street in front of them, the shared brain of the Traveler and Paimon temporarily crashed.
"Al-although this is just a questioning job, but... where exactly should we start?"
Paimon looked at the Traveler beside her and asked with some confusion.
The Traveler, however, gently shook her head, then walked up to a passerby and began to strike up a conversation with him.
"Hello, excuse me... do you know how the Former Hydro Archon Furina saved Fontaine?"
Hearing this question, the passerby was momentarily confused, seemingly not understanding why this blonde person in front of him would ask such a question.
However, considering that this was not something shameful, the passerby paused slightly, then said:
"Of course, by sacrificing her divine power as a bargaining chip and directly stopping The Prophecy from descending? The announcement for that is still posted at the entrance of Palais Mermonia, isn't it?"
Paimon shook her head repeatedly upon hearing this, then continued to explain:
"That's not it, what we mean is... besides the result, do you know any more specific details?"
