Hearing Paimon's question, Yuto and Claude nodded in unison.
"That's right, even though those places have been thoroughly searched by the Shadowy Court, it's still good to at least get closer and experience the corresponding cultural atmosphere."
With that, Yuto lowered his head slightly, stroked his chin, and then said:
"How about this, I'll issue you a certificate later, and have the Shadowy Court staff lend you their search reports on those ruins to look at."
"After reading the reports on these ruins, you can then go and visit those places to see if you can gain more inspiration and history."
"Of course, if there's more history from the Remuria period... remember to share it with me; there might be something worth referencing."
Hearing this, Paimon nodded her small head and wiggled her fingers, then said:
"Okay! Thank you, Yuto! I knew it, whenever I encounter difficulties, coming to you is always the right choice!"
Claude's face also showed a hint of gratitude, and just as he was about to say something to Yuto, he was directly interrupted.
"Mr. Claude, I look forward to your work, and I also hope that Fontaine's musicals will flow slowly across the entire Teyvat, just like 'water'."
"As the Assistant Administrator of Fontaine, I sincerely hope this day arrives soon."
A pleased smile appeared on Yuto's face; at this moment, he truly seemed like that understanding and benevolent leader.
Lady Furina also smiled at this moment, her beautiful heterochromatic eyes blinked slightly, and then she said:
"As the God of Fontaine, I am very happy to see someone like you, which means you are my devout follower."
"I hope you can continue to persevere and bring truly relevant artistic works to Fontaine, and to all of Teyvat."
Hearing the encouraging words from Yuto and Lady Furina, Claude's expression was slightly dazed, and even his gaze was somewhat unfocused.
However, this moment of unfocused stupor quickly passed, replaced by a heartfelt determination.
Although he had been somewhat disheartened at Hotel Debord earlier... by that person, it didn't matter now.
When he personally heard that his ideas and everything he had done had been affirmed by the high-ranking officials of Fontaine... his mood was more excited than anyone else's.
"Y-yes! I will work hard to accomplish all of this!"
Looking at the excited Claude, Yuto chuckled and shook his head.
He could understand the reaction of artists like Claude after receiving their recognition.
After all... for artists, the greatest reward is recognition, and this was recognition and expectation from two high-ranking officials of Fontaine; it would be strange if he wasn't excited.
Thinking of this, Yuto turned his gaze to Gan Yu, who was sitting opposite him, and gently asked:
"Miss Gan Yu, would you like me to arrange for someone to guide you through your upcoming schedule?"
Gan Yu was slightly startled upon hearing this, then remembered the map of Fontaine that Ningguang had given her.
The interior of Fontaine is not like Ritou, which basically has only one level, or if there are multiple levels, they are mostly where shops are located.
But Fontaine is different; this place is intricate and complex, with waterways, elevators, and a series of other facilities...
If it's your first time here... without a reliable guide, it's really easy to get lost.
However, Gan Yu still trusted her sense of direction, and besides... there were those lovely little Melusine in Fontaine; there was no way she would get lost.
Thinking of this, Gan Yu gently shook her head, speaking as gently as ever:
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Yuto, I appreciate it. After all... every street in Fontaine has responsible 'Security Personnel', so if I need help... I can just ask them directly."
Looking at the gently smiling Gan Yu before him, Yuto nodded slightly and no longer insisted.
This is how it is in diplomacy: the other party may not need it, but you must express your stance.
If you don't express your stance... that's what 'lack of importance' truly means.
—This reason was much more reliable than the old fogies from the Akademiya finding fault with his attire.
After confirming Gan Yu's situation, Yuto then turned his gaze to Sedna, who had not left since the very beginning.
"Sedna, please take Miss Ying, Paimon, and Mr. Claude to my office to wait for a moment; I'll be there shortly."
"Yes, Lord Yuto!"
Sedna said while opening the door to the reception room, speaking in the unique, cute voice of a Melusine:
"Three of you~ This way, please~"
...
After these three had left, Gan Yu slowly rose from the sofa, smiled gently at Yuto, and then said:
"Today's cooperation was very smooth. Thank you, Mr. Yuto, for your guidance and cooperation. I hope that in the future... Ritou and Fontaine can continue to cooperate as we did today."
After saying this, Gan Yu nodded slightly to Yuto, then left the reception room.
Yuto, meanwhile, looked at Gan Yu's retreating back, then at the teacup placed in front of her, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
"Later... have Sedna help send a box of tea to the hotel where the Ritou delegation is staying..."
"Or perhaps not just tea; that might make Gan Yu feel awkward. Instead, send a little of every special plant from Fontaine... Hmm, that's what I'll do."
Yuto nodded slightly, seemingly quite satisfied with his judgment and decision.
Thinking of this, Yuto turned his gaze to Lady Furina beside him, and then said somewhat apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Furina, I might not be able to have afternoon tea with you today."
Lady Furina blinked, a smile appearing on her face, then she tilted her head slightly, once again adopting that tsundere posture.
"I know, I know. After all, you're the Assistant Administrator who helps me share so many official duties. This time... as the God, I will magnanimously forgive your absence~"
"But... only this once, okay?"
Looking at the adorable young girl before him, a smile also appeared on Yuto's face.
"Okay~ Thank you for your understanding, Lady Furina~"
