Xavier felt like he was about to ascend to the heavens.
At first he thought everything was over.
He never expected the team to become even stronger now.
"My god, this is going way too smoothly! I… I need to hurry and notify Lady Furina, as well as the lighting and prop teams, so they can prepare the equipment. We start shooting tomorrow."
With that, he ran off.
He was practically skipping, unable to hide his excitement.
"Calm down, Xavier. A film isn't shot in one day." Chiori shook her head.
"Still, I need to go back and prepare costumes and makeup for the actors too."
"Alright, let's say goodbye here for today."
Chiori chased after Xavier, whose steps were already going crooked. She didn't want to have to pick up the producer from some strange place on the first day of shooting.
"Your destination isn't hope — it's the fountain in the big square. Calm down a bit."
On Chevreuse's side, she kept Lumine behind.
She asked Lumine to join her investigation.
A flintlock murder had occurred in Fontaine.
The killer's method was related to The Two Musketeers…
On Mu Yang's side, the sudden visit from Ei and Yae Miko had caused some delays in his work.
After Lumine and the others left, he quickly got back into work mode.
Before long, he finished editing his film The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.
Although Ei and Yae Miko's visit was very sudden.
They were now following Navia around sightseeing everywhere.
With nothing else to do, Mu Yang decided to submit his film and then go find Shenhe.
"According to the schedule, Shenhe and the others should have finished editing the promotional video by now."
During the later stages of filming, Mu Yang had traveled to many places.
He had even gone to the Flower-Feather Clan.
He hadn't been with Shenhe and the others the whole time.
But they had agreed to submit their films together.
They would also do some sightseeing in Fontaine while they were here.
After finishing everything, Mu Yang took a backup of his film and left…
Café Lujosa.
A red-haired and a blue-haired lady were trying Fontaine afternoon tea.
"Yoimiya, try the crystal snail cake."
"Ayaka ordered it. Ayaka should eat first."
"I ordered it for Yoimiya. You like desserts a lot, right?"
"Hehe… In that case, let's stop being polite! Let's eat together, okay?"
...
"So delicious, so fluffy! The butter aroma is especially rich when it melts in your mouth, and the aftertaste makes you feel really happy."
"Great, Yoimiya likes it. I think it's delicious too, and I really like its pattern."
Yoimiya began explaining. She had checked guides before the trip.
"I heard it's modeled after the appearance of a crystal snail. I've never seen one in person. I'm really curious what they look like."
"Ayaka, are you interested? How about we find some time to go underwater and look for them together?"
"Sure. How about we go right after this?"
The two made plans to go.
Mu Yang, who was buying things nearby, heard the entire conversation and deliberately lowered his presence.
If they were just chatting it would be fine — he could walk past normally.
But if they were actually going underwater, then forget it.
He didn't want them to think he had "intentionally run into them." That would be hard to explain.
Fortunately, after deciding to go underwater, the two picked up a map and started comparing it.
They didn't notice Mu Yang.
Mu Yang bought some Fontaine specialties like pastries and desserts and left.
At the entrance of the Film Association.
"Master!"
"I bought this for you."
Mu Yang handed the Thousand Spirits Mousse to Shenhe.
"Thank you."
"Have you finished your business?"
"Just finished. Senior Sister went to a meeting."
The "Senior Sister" Shenhe mentioned was of course Ganyu.
Lan Yan didn't really like going into the city.
This point was very similar to Lingyuan.
Lingyuan hadn't come to Fontaine either.
Even though she had played an important role in Mu Yang's film The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.
According to Mu Yang's promise, Fujin would gradually regain her memories soon.
Lingyuan only wanted to stay in familiar places for now.
Otherwise, if Fujin recovered her memories and couldn't find anyone, she would be so sad.
In truth, Lingyuan was still thinking a bit too far ahead.
With key figures like Mu Yang and Lumine absent, how could Fujin have the opportunity to quickly regain her power?
Regardless, both Lan Yan and Lingyuan chose to stay in Chenyu Vale.
Gaming also didn't come because he had to rehearse beast dance drama.
Their application to perform beast dance at this year's Lantern Rite in Liyue Harbor had been approved.
This might be the only chance in my lifetime.
Rebuilding the glory of beast dance drama is our generation's duty!
In the end, only the two female leads came to Fontaine.
From what Shenhe said, Ganyu had still come with official duties…
At the Palais Mermonia right now.
Neuvillette was personally receiving two distinguished guests who had come from afar.
One was the head of the Yashiro Commission, Kamisato Ayato.
The other was Ganyu, visiting on behalf of the Tianquan Ningguang.
After more than an hour of greetings and discussion.
They had covered almost everything.
"…Regarding all the above, I wonder what Mr. Neuvillette thinks of the preliminary ideas and cooperation directions I proposed?"
"Very thorough considerations. Your words alone show your sincere intentions. There is no need for modesty."
"Thank you for your recognition. And thank you as well, Miss Ganyu, for your timely suggestions." Ayato didn't forget to give Ganyu a high compliment.
He knew Ganyu's true identity was extraordinary.
Because in Inazuma, the reception for this Liyue emissary had always been personally handled by the Guuji Yae Miko.
"Lord Kamisato flatters me. I only said a few words in passing. I'm glad I didn't cause you any trouble."
Neuvillette, as always, handled things strictly by the book.
This meeting could only show that he personally was interested in the cultures of Liyue and Inazuma.
But the specific cooperation process still had to follow regulations.
After all, Fontaine's operations did not rely on anyone's personal feelings.
"Naturally. I will submit the specific cooperation matters to the Palais Mermonia in written form within a week."
Ganyu had already prepared the documents long ago…
Learn from this, Ayato. There is no end to learning.
This was the awareness of a worker who had worked for thousands of years and still often worked overtime!
...
"Mu Yang, Junior Sister, have you been waiting long?"
"It's fine. Senior Sister was busy first."
Looking at how polite the two were being with each other, Mu Yang felt like laughing.
It was understandable that Shenhe didn't understand feelings.
But Ganyu really didn't have to be like this, right?
For the sake of strengthening master-disciple bonds, Mu Yang took the two to Elynas Island.
They watched the Fountain of Lupe, the "Phoenix Legend," and a opera performance.
In the end, the three returned to the apartment to rest.
The entire block of houses belonged to Mu Yang.
Shenhe and Ganyu chose the one with light blue decor.
On Lumine's side, after agreeing to cooperate and seeing Chevreuse off.
Lumine knocked on Mu Yang's door.
On this long night, of course they would watch movies to pass the time.
