Upon hearing Yuto's words, Paimon became a little angry for a moment.
"What do you mean you're not counting on us?! Didn't we also help solve the Serial Disappearance of Young Girls?!"
Looking at the somewhat agitated Paimon, the smile on Yuto's face did not fade, but rather became... a little deeper.
"This isn't to say I don't believe in the abilities of you two, but rather... you might have underestimated the other party's cunning and their strength."
At this point, Yuto paused slightly, then turned his gaze to Furina beside him.
After receiving the special signal between the two, Furina smiled and nodded, then walked towards Claude, who was organizing the Group leader members.
Hundreds of years of living together meant that these two only needed a glance to understand each other's meaning.
Their division of labor is very clear now: Furina, who has richer experience in acting and Fontaine Opera directing, will first raise the standard of other Group leader members,
While Yuto, who is good at handling such inexplicable matters, will arrange their subsequent... work assignments.
Thinking of this, Yuto frowned slightly, pondering whether to give these two the title of "Palais Mermonia Special Expatriate Staff."
After all, it's quite troublesome to always emphasize to Miss Auditor that the two enjoy the highest standard of expatriate salaries.
"Forget it, if this matter can be resolved smoothly this time, then give these two a title as well... to make things easier later."
Yuto shook his head slightly, then looked at the two in front of him and continued:
"Let me guess, are you thinking...'Since the Fatui are not involved in this, does that mean the person handling this is unprofessional?'"
Hearing this, Lumine and Paimon instinctively exchanged glances, then nodded with some astonishment.
"How... how did you know?"
Yuto smiled slightly, did not explain, but continued on his own:
"What you can think of, the other party can certainly think of, so they have already made full preparations."
"They not only want to disgust me, but also want me to distract myself, to throw me into disarray, and then allow them to safely withdraw from Fontaine."
"Those idiots know very well that as long as they stay in Fontaine, they will either be backstabbed by those 'former allies' or their families will be ruined due to a sudden break in their capital chain."
"So they now want to use this method to quickly cut themselves clean, and then leave Fontaine cleanly with the wealth created by the people of Fontaine."
At this point, Yuto sneered before saying:
"Large-scale asset transfers are not allowed in any country; this is no different from a vampire."
"So... they want to use this despicable method to disrupt my plans, thereby ensuring that their property can be transferred smoothly."
Before Yuto could finish, Paimon quickly replied:
"Oh! I understand this! Since their goal is to make us chaotic, and then use this chaotic interval to transfer property,
Then as long as we don't get chaotic, they will continue to try to cause us trouble, and we will always find an opportunity to catch them?"
Hearing this, a relieved smile appeared on Yuto's face.
It's a pity that his persona is not a Ritou person now, otherwise he would have to say, "The child is teachable."
...
While Yuto was arguing about this matter with the two walking natural disasters... Furina had already demonstrated the ability of a "Fontaine's household name superstar."
She first looked down at the script, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"Although I'm here to help the Group leader get through this difficult time, you will still need to perform independently afterward, so... I want to see your basic skills first."
As Furina spoke, she picked up the script titled "The Daughter of Water," symbolically waved it, and then said:
"Although the female protagonist is not here now, I hope everyone can get used to each other a bit and show your abilities."
After saying that, Furina paused slightly, and a rather gentle smile appeared on her face.
"This is, after all, the last work of Audrey who introduced you, and I also heard Yuto talk about your story, so..."
"I want you to perform this Fontaine Opera as well as possible."
"However..."
Furina lowered her head slightly, looked at the cast list for "The Daughter of Water," then looked up at the clearly mismatched number of people in front of her, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"Your numbers... seem to be insufficient?"
Hearing this, Lauvik smiled awkwardly, then said:
"Uh... that's indeed the case. We have two other companions outside, but..."
A look of difficulty appeared on Lauvik's face, as if there was something unspeakable about this matter.
Hearing this, Claude sighed slightly, then gently waved his hand and was the first to explain:
"Lady Furina, one of them is named Polo, the male lead of 'The Daughter of Water,' but because Beryl Region was affected by the disaster, he is currently busy helping to build the new Beryl Region, so he is not present."
"And the other is named Weil Mang, the only person in the entire Group leader with whom I have not completed a contract."
"But he promised that if this play were to be performed, he would return."
Hearing this, Furina nodded thoughtfully, then looked at the three people who had finished their conversation and were walking over, and smiled gently.
"It seems we have some extra work to do before the formal rehearsal?"
Hearing this, Yuto nodded without surprise, then put on the air of a patriarch and said:
"Since that's the case... then we'll meet at the dock at the front of Fontaine tomorrow morning, first go to Beryl Region to find Polo, and then find Weil Mang."
"As for the time until the public performance... I believe it's sufficient."
"As for the rehearsal venue, I also know a place where we can practice..."
...
While Yuto was still emphasizing some content and arrangements for the coming days in the small theater, Neuvillette was staring blankly at the blue-gold letter in front of him.
"Inviting Arlecchino to Palais Mermonia for a meeting... Yuto, what exactly are you thinking?"
Neuvillette raised his head slightly, thoughtfully looking at the sun high in the sky, as if pondering something.
After a long while, the Water Dragon Sovereign seemed to understand something, and a rare smile appeared on his usually calm face.
"I think I understand what you're thinking, but..."
"Why do you want to do the same thing as Egeria again?"
"Or are you like Focalors, planning to dance on the edge of a blade within His sight?"
