Upon hearing Mr. Claude's conclusion, Paimon's face showed a look of shock.
Whether it was the liyue opera she had heard or the Mondstadt poetry, the people praised in them were thoroughly good or great individuals.
But why... did Mr. Claude choose someone who ultimately went to extremes as the main subject?
Thinking of this, Paimon quickly shook her head, then waved her little finger and said,
"But, but... Boethius ended up being a bad guy, didn't he? Is that really okay?"
Mr. Claude, hearing this, slightly raised his head and gently shook it, looking at Paimon, who had a puzzled and hesitant expression.
"Little Paimon, whether in Lord Yuto's or Miss Ying's narration, Boethius is like a bishop who fell under the guidance of a devil."
"I want to depict how he gradually became the Great Tuner, because at that time, he was indeed Boethius, not phobos."
"Beginning with his suffering from bullying and ending with the moment he became the Great Tuner, this is an Fontaine Opera that can constantly stir emotions."
"In the Fontaine Opera I write... what is shown is the Great Tuner Boethius, not Boethius controlled by the devil-like phobos."
Having said this, Mr. Claude stopped speaking.
For him, Boethius was indeed the character who best suited his needs.
His childhood experiences could evoke the audience's sympathy, and his growth process would arouse their anticipation and curiosity, finally, at the moment he ascended to a high position... all emotions would be ignited.
This was a perfect emotional chain.
However... the problem Paimon mentioned certainly existed, but he hadn't thought of a good way to solve it.
Seemingly noticing Mr. Claude's hesitation and dilemma, Yuto gently spoke,
"I do have a good solution that can help you avoid this problem, Mr. Claude."
Hearing this, Mr. Claude suddenly looked up at Yuto, a hint of expectation in his eyes, and asked impatiently,
"Lord Yuto, please, you must teach me! This is the request of my life!"
This familiar statement made Yuto's mouth twitch involuntarily, then he symbolically cleared his throat and said,
"Actually, it's very simple. Divide the entire content into two parts. The first part is for writing about Boethius, interspersed with some character descriptions of Cassiodorus."
"Then, in the second part, focus on the conflict between Cassiodorus and Boethius. This way... you ensure the completeness of emotional supply and also protect your reputation."
Yuto's suggestion made Mr. Claude slightly stunned, then he looked troubled and said,
"But... Lord Yuto, there are only seven days left until the final registration and review deadline."
"Just polishing Boethius's script alone will take three days, not to mention—"
"Why not learn from... Ritou's storytellers and their 'Let's hear the next installment'?
Yuto's eyes were slightly closed as he spoke calmly.
"People dislike Fontaine Opera suddenly stopping because previous Fontaine Opera required a long time to build up atmosphere and emotion."
"And what you are writing now is not traditional Fontaine Opera; you just need to convey a complete emotional experience."
Yuto's hint sent Mr. Claude into deep thought. After a long while, he tentatively asked,
"Do you mean...? To divide the musical into two parts? To become two different sets of episodes, upper and lower?"
"Exactly. This way, you only need to add some descriptions and interactions of Cassiodorus to Boethius's script."
"So that's how it's solved!"
Paimon looked at the two people discussing, feeling a bit dizzy and holding her little head.
"Uh... why do I always feel like my brain isn't enough ever since I met Yuto...?"
Hearing this, Ying glanced at the somewhat dazed Paimon, shaking her head helplessly.
Our Paimon is like this; she just needs to feel dizzy, while the Assistant Administrator who speaks has much more to consider.
After a "simple" discussion, Mr. Claude excitedly ran out of Palais Mermonia, seemingly eager to quickly realize all the content he had just planned.
Yuto, on the other hand, looked at the back of the person who rushed out, a helpless smile appearing on his face, then he whispered,
"I hope it really succeeds..."
Years later, Yuto, who had successfully retired from his position as Assistant Administrator, would always remember this sunny noon when he received his monthly mora from "Mr. Claude's Film and Television Theme Park," and he would feel genuinely fortunate.
...
After seeing Mr. Claude off, Yuto's gaze locked onto Ying, and he slowly said,
"Thank you both for today's matter. If you still want to investigate Remuria's ruins later—"
Before Yuto could finish, Paimon shook her head like a Ritou rattle drum, saying somewhat flustered,
"No, no! If we accidentally trigger some memories and resonances... and encounter those monsters again, this guy and I will really become history!"
Looking at the somewhat flustered Paimon, Yuto smiled and nodded.
"Alright, since this is what you two wish... then let's stop here for now."
"Remuria still has many things worth exploring, but unfortunately, from today onwards, I probably won't have any time to explore."
Yuto said with some regret.
At this moment, Ying extended her hand towards Yuto and softly said,
"If there's another chance to explore later, perhaps we can cooperate again."
"Of course, but next time... it will be me paying the commission fee."
...
Looking at the sixty primogem task reward being settled, Nonomi let out a long breath, then looked at the text document beside her.
After a brief thought, Nonomi wrote the following sentence:
Whether Furina can be designated as the Water God... is still controversial, but it cannot be definitively concluded yet.
Yuto's identity is suspected to be the Thunder Dragon King not in Inazuma, same as above, no specific basis, purely speculative.
Nonomi looked up at the pitch-black window outside, yawned tiredly, and then said,
"Everyone... today's broadcast started a bit late, and the next phase of the event will have to wait three days, so I'll rest first, okay?"
"Good night, everyone~"
After skillfully turning off the live stream interface, Nonomi began to organize all the main story texts she had obtained during this period.
She wanted to summarize all this content and then carefully prepare for the main story and event plot.
"Although I definitely have to pay for those three max constellations and max refinements, I also want to make sure the money is well spent."
"Let's try... just treat it as operations..."
