Chapter 287 - Chapter 286: Raging Undercurrent (Part 2)

Just as Paimon had predicted, Yuto was already pondering how to deal with these individuals.

More accurately… Yuto had entirely entrusted the handling of these individuals to Wriothesley.

Just as telling a good story requires both a visible and a hidden thread, Yuto also had a habit of working on two fronts.

The visible thread was him and the Traveler openly investigating these matters.

And the hidden thread… was Wriothesley and his subordinates' actions within the hidden side of Fontaine.

As long as Yuto's "visible thread" made progress sufficient to convict these individuals, then Wriothesley's actions would certainly not be slow.

Imagine, when you are about to leave the troublesome land of Fontaine with your family and all your belongings…

A burly man in a black trench coat leads a large group of Fontaine Guard members to surround your house, with twenty or thirty pairs of eyes simultaneously staring at you and your family…

Judging by this situation, even if you were just taking your family and all your belongings on a trip, you would question whether you had committed some offense.

Of course, for those nobles… they had indeed committed an offense, and it was not small.

"I wonder what expressions they'll have when they see that scene, tsk tsk tsk…"

Yuto softly clicked his tongue a few times, as if greatly anticipating that future scene.

Perhaps because the distance between them wasn't too far, Lumine and the others all turned their gaze towards Yuto.

"Yuto…? Did you just say something? Or did you encounter a problem? Perhaps we can help!"

Paimon was initially a bit confused, eventually evolving into a state similar to volunteering herself.

Although she didn't think they could solve something Yuto couldn't, at this moment, these were the words to say.

Hearing this, Yuto smiled and shook his head, then said:

"There's nothing that can't be solved, and I haven't encountered any problems. I'm just imagining what expressions those individuals will have in the future."

Paimon blinked softly upon hearing this, a hint of confusion appearing in her dark eyes.

But this hint of confusion was quickly replaced by astonishment.

"Wait! Listening to you, Yuto, do you mean… you already have a solution?! And you've already arranged it?!"

Hearing this, a mysterious smile appeared on Yuto's face.

He nodded gently, then said with a smile:

"That's natural. As the Assistant Administrator, I naturally have my own way of dealing with these matters."

"I don't mean that! I want to ask… how did you manage to do it? To arrange so many things at this point in time?"

"Leaving aside the outcome, aren't you… really afraid of wronging others? Or… is this actually someone else's trap?"

Listening to Paimon's somewhat jumbled sentence structure, the mysterious smile on Yuto's face did not fade.

He could understand what Paimon truly meant.

After a brief thought, Yuto replied very officially:

"Even an Assistant Administrator cannot arrest and convict without evidence; this is beyond doubt."

"As the Assistant Administrator, I have my own sources of information, always have, always will."

"Only by possessing enough information can I make quicker decisions."

Upon hearing this, a golden light burst forth from Paimon's dark eyes, as if confirming a certain conjecture in her heart.

"Oh… the Assistant Administrator's own information channels… that's truly hard to imagine."

"I'm really curious… what kind of channels do you possess, Yuto, to be able to make so many decisions so quickly?"

Looking at those dark eyes that showed a hint of curiosity, Yuto's face still held that mysterious smile.

He gently extended his index finger, slightly gesturing to his lips, then continued:

"It's a secret for now. In the end… you'll know where my information channels are~"

It was the same as before, Yuto didn't mind people like Lumine knowing some information.

Of course, it was mainly because Lumine was the Traveler; she would know about this sooner or later.

Because she was a participant in all stories, if not today, then tomorrow.

To put it simply… if she didn't learn about it in Lady Furina's Story Quest, she would learn about it in Wriothesley's own Story Quest.

Thinking of this, Yuto blinked slightly, as if realizing something, then turned his gaze to Claude, who had been silent beside him.

"Speaking of which, Claude, first arrange for some people to settle Miss Dirfi, and then we'll talk about what comes next."

As if he felt his words weren't clear enough, Yuto added another sentence.

"To have more time to practice and rehearse, and to have more time to guide the future direction of the Fontaine Opera Troupe's Fontaine Opera, I will go bring Lady Furina over now."

Hearing this, a gleam immediately burst forth from Claude's eyes, as if Yuto's suggestion was irresistible.

As emphasized before, whether it was his personal development or the future development of the Fontaine Opera Troupe, they had to handle these matters themselves.

Yuto and Lady Furina could help them for a while, but not forever.

Similarly, these two veteran figures of the Fontaine Opera world helping them perform on stage was also creating pressure for them.

The Fontaine Opera Troupe's subsequent performances could be slightly inferior to theirs, but not by too much, otherwise, the audience would dislike them greatly.

Thinking of this, Claude nodded quickly, then went to arrange the subsequent matters.

After Claude left, Yuto turned his gaze back to Lumine, speaking like an NPC giving a quest:

"As for the Traveler… I hope you can continue to investigate these matters. As long as more evidence is gathered…"

"We can completely clear some obstacles for Fontaine, and you can fulfill your agreement with Lady Furina."

"Help Fontaine clear away the traces of these evil spirits, so that people can live peacefully here."
