[Genshin Impact] A world where only travelers are alone

For Navilette, the main responsibility for this incident lies with him.

There were many eyes staring at Fontaine from top to bottom at him. They were none other than some fallen nobles from the past. It was just that they had been silent for too long, so he inevitably let his guard down. He did not expect such a result.

What's more, Chloe hadn't contacted him since that day.

They were apparently getting along quite well at that time, but it ended up like this. It must be because of his identity that they had a grudge against each other.

That Villette felt a little lost.

But now she is forced to be involved with him again, she must be feeling very uncomfortable.

That Villette didn't want to see rejection in her eyes, so she could only avoid her using work as an excuse.

*
On the other side, Chloe had no idea that she had been misunderstood so badly. She was still regretting that she had missed this opportunity and didn't know when she would be able to see him again.

She returned home regretfully, without even stopping to buy her favorite cake.

As soon as the door opened, the little sea otter crawled out of the pool.

Ever since she brought Violet home last time, the little guy has always rushed to greet her at the first opportunity, as if he was afraid that she would bring the big "otter" back again.

But unfortunately, it has failed every time recently.

As expected, I still didn’t see anyone this time.

It immediately stopped and prepared to run away, but Chloe had just suffered a setback from Villette, so naturally she wanted to get back at it.

She simply picked up the little sea otter and started squeezing it wildly, sighing with dissatisfaction as she did so.

It will be at least a week before I see Villette again...

Chloe is not a stubborn person, and she doesn't intend to show off. This tabloid scandal came suddenly, and she needs some time to calm down, so she simply asked for leave at Mo Mang Palace just now. She will spend at least the next week at home.

But she tried to find a way to cheer herself up and thought that this was a rare legitimate holiday after all, so she was still a little excited. However, she didn't expect that this forced excitement would be quickly shattered.

The next morning, Chloe was awakened by a noise outside the door.

Although these voices were quickly drowned out by the girl's familiar loud voice, she still heard people outside discussing herself and Villette.

Before she could feel sad for a while, there was another series of rapid knocks on the door. Even without looking, Chloe knew it was Aurelie.

I opened the door and saw that it was indeed her.

Aurelie, with dark circles under her eyes, still looked lively and energetic, with anger on her face: "Really, I encountered such an unpleasant thing so early in the morning."

"What's wrong?" Chloe was confused.

"I saw the newspaper yesterday. How could they write that!"

As Chloe's best friend, Aurelie knew that it was all made up, but others didn't know that. Last night alone, she heard countless people gossiping about Chloe behind her back. But what was even more outrageous was the group of Chloe's neighbors who dared to gather at her door this morning and point fingers at her.

People who are familiar with Aurelie know that she seems easy to talk to in normal times, but once it comes to her family and friends, her temper is unstoppable.

This immediately touched her sore spot, and she immediately drove the group away. But even so, Aurelie was still angry, and even more angry, she couldn't help but walk over and pinch Chloe's face and complain: "You guy, you swore to me before that you were afraid of trouble. Since you knew that he, as the Supreme Judge, would bring you trouble, why didn't you know to be careful at the time!"

Chloe covered her face with tears in her eyes. "Who knew someone would do such a thing? Besides, I was so stunned when I found out he was the Supreme Inquisitor. How could I think straight?"

Such an aggrieved look completely made Aurelie lose her temper. She said helplessly: "I now agree with your idea of ​​not being with him. Big shots like them are really a big trouble in themselves."

Chloe didn't dare tell her that she had actually regretted her decision after being persuaded by her. She was now thinking about how to find another opportunity to talk to Villette. After all, Aurelie would be furious if she knew.

She would be furious. After all, Aurelie was already angry about Villette's "inaction" right now: "Has he not said anything yet? Just letting those guys talk nonsense?"

Chloe felt that she still needed to explain for him: "After knowing this, he immediately stopped the spread of these newspapers, and the Shadow Chaser Court is now also involved in the investigation. As for those people outside - they insist on believing, even Lord Villette can't do anything."

And it was not so much her who was hurt in this incident, but Villette.

Chloe was quite self-aware, and the malice directed at Villette was definitely much stronger than that directed at a nobody like her.

Besides, she could just stay at home and not hear or see anything, but what about Villette?
All matters of Fontaine, big or small, depend on him to solve. It might be okay for him to avoid them for a day or two, but he can't stay away forever, not to mention that Villette is not that kind of person.

The pressure on him is much greater than mine.

Chloe wanted to help, but there was nothing she could do.

Aurelie couldn't do anything with her. She could only ask her to stay at home for the next two days and pretend that those gossiping people outside didn't exist.

She was about to say goodbye when the doorbell suddenly rang again.

"Huh?" Both of them looked confused.

Chloe didn't have many good friends in Fontaine, let alone people close enough to visit her. After all the calculations, there was only Aurelie.

So the question is, who will come at this point?
Before she could figure it out, the person outside the house couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, is anyone there?"

It was a very clear female voice, but no one present recognized it.

"Excuse me, I live next door to you. My kettle is broken, but I'm not feeling well lately and need some hot water. Can I borrow some from you?"

Maybe it was because of the door, but Chloe felt her voice was a little fuzzy, and even some byte could be heard with faint noise.

Aurelie couldn't help but frown, feeling that something was a little strange.

"Wait, Chloe, don't be so impatient—"

Before she could finish her words, Chloe, who had already walked to the door, subconsciously opened the door for the poor neighbor.

However, after opening the door, what came into view was the pitch-black barrel of a gun.

As the two men's eyes suddenly widened, the trigger was pulled and a gunshot rang out.
