Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

"Life follows the murmuring stream."

"To bring life back to the city-state."

"And also to nourish you, my dearest..."

"..."

The voice carried a hint of sadness, yet also a sense of anticipation and longing.

For some reason, as the song began, a dancing figure naturally appeared in Su Chen's mind—it was Funina, but not Funina. The other person had the same appearance as Funina, but her temperament was completely different.

Barefoot, singing that song, she danced lightly on a huge stage.

“Fukaros…”

Su Chen murmured softly.

It seems like the other person sang this song.

As the song continued to play, fragments of scattered memories surfaced in his mind.

The memory absorption was slow and incomplete, fragmented. Through these memories, Su Chen learned that the person he played in the last simulation was named Ryder.

At the same time, he did indeed have contact with the water goddess Funina.

From what I remember, his relationship with Funina seems...surprisingly good?

As an administrator in the Privy Council, he controls the economy of Fontaine. Even the daily expenses of the Water God require his approval; otherwise, the Water God wouldn't even get tea and snacks at 3 PM.

Is the water god from 500 years ago really this cowardly?

Moreover, Fukaros is the demon name of Funina, so logically they should be the same person. However, the one that just appeared in his mind was completely different from the Funina he knew.

There are two Fucarus?

Unfortunately, there were too few memory fragments to obtain more information.

"Ok?"

Su Chen raised his head.

An inexplicable force descended into the space.

He stretched out his hand.

Power gathered in his palm, and then a spinning card appeared—

【Card of Transcendence】

Su Chen was taken aback.

"card?"

I remember now, this is his ability during simulation: creating rule-based cards.

but.

Why are the cards scattered in Fontainebleau?

[Card production capability activated.]

A prompt sounded.

With the return of the Transcendence Card, the card-making ability that had been sealed inside also returned to Su Chen's body.

"Rule cards... Come to think of it, the power I felt from Funina in that previous memory seems to be this kind of."

Su Chen pondered for a moment.

He was a little unsure about the source of Furina's power, but since she was a god of justice, it was understandable that she possessed this kind of judgment-type rule power.

Just then, the Card of Transcendence emitted light again, followed by a surge of 'memories' flowing from the card.

These are not Su Chen's memories.

It is other people's memories of Ryder.

"Grandpa Ryder is such a kind person."

"Thanks to Grandpa Ryder, Grey River is saved."

"Grandpa Ryder and Lady Funina have a really good relationship."

"Grandpa Ryder..."

"Grandpa Ryder..."

"Grandpa Ryder, are you... alright?"

"Well..."

Different memories surfaced in Su Chen's mind. In these memories, he stood from the perspective of a third party and saw what Ryder Krause had done.

These people included ordinary citizens, nobles, and staff members of the Privy Council.

"These are... the memories of the Fontaine people? How did they end up in the Transcendent Card?"

"Um... wait a minute."

The memories were too chaotic, and even with Su Chen's mental strength, he could not fully decipher them in a short time. However, he discovered that Fu Ningna did not seem to be among these people.

I searched everyone, but Funina was missing.

"It seems that in this simulation, I am the Minister of Logistics, a top figure in the center of the Fontaine regime, and... the messenger of the water god? What the hell? I actually have a good relationship with the water god Fucarus?"

Su Chen was stunned for a moment.

Then, the first thing that came to mind was the suspicious expression on the face of the Great Tree King.

And he solemnly declared to the Great Tree King, "I have nothing to do with Funina"... Ah Zhe...

"No, no, no, it might be fake. The dancing Fukaros is the real one. She usually pretends to be the silly Frinina to lower my guard, and then stabs me in the back at the crucial moment..." Yes! The Great Tree King, that's exactly it!

"Whoo~"

After storing the Transcendence Card into his body, Su Chen let out a soft sigh of relief.

There are many things I don't understand, but what I'm sure of now is that the Card of Transcendence absorbed all of the Fontaine people's memories of him, except for the Water God's. This is probably the key reason why the simulator's settlement is problematic.

"Hey? Su Chen, why are you here all alone?" Paimon's voice came from behind.

Ying and Paimon had finished talking with the fisherman.

"It's nothing." Su Chen turned around and chuckled, "I just came to see the sea in Fontainebleau."

"What's the difference?"

“A little…” Su Chen crouched down, immersing himself in the cold seawater, and felt a strange sadness. “The water in Fontainebleau seems to be crying.”

Yes.

It's a very strange way of putting it.

But he could truly feel the faint sorrow contained in the water, as if it were telling of loneliness and sadness.

...

...

Fontaine.

Inside Momang Palace.

A woman named Melosin knocked on the office door and, after receiving permission, went inside.

“Lady Vilette,” Melusin said, “normally, the Sumeru envoy should be arriving at Harbor soon. Lady Funina just suddenly went there with her guards. Would you like to go and take a look?”

Navelett stopped writing, looked up and said, "There's no need to go there. Inform Aina that the Privy Council is in charge of foreign negotiations. Tell her to be careful and not let that guy mess things up."

Melusin tilted her head: "Aren't you sure you don't want to go and take a look? Lady Funina brought a lot of guards, and she even took Clorinde with her."

"No, she wasn't going for the delegation, she was going for that traveler."

"Traveler?"

"She probably became interested in a hero who travels around in stories and has solved many problems for various countries so far."

Navilette, who knew Furna's personality well, immediately guessed her purpose. However, he was not worried at all, because the 'superstar Furna' and 'troublemaker in the courtroom' that the world saw were just Furna's disguise.

Since that incident.

Navelette clearly remembered how powerful Funina was when she unleashed her full power. How could she really be a big star who only knew how to act cute, as outsiders said?

But Vilette found that she couldn't remember the specifics of that incident clearly. She only sensed, from the water scattered throughout Fontainebleau, that Funina longed for a name—'Ryder Cross'.

Navelette had no information about the name in her mind, but whenever she said it, an indescribable sadness would well up in her heart, and the sky would become gloomy.

He vaguely sensed that there was a hidden secret within the Fontaine calamity more than four hundred years ago.

The water goddess Funina resolved the disaster, but at the same time, she hid a sorrow she could not tell anyone. She kept this secret for more than four hundred years and always showed a happy side to her people.

She was actually sad inside.

From the spring of tears, Navelette vaguely sensed this, so he always took a 'no problem' attitude toward Funina's usual 'willfulness' as long as it didn't blow up the courtroom.

“Ryder…” Navelette stood up and walked to the window, looking at the peaceful scenery outside, a trace of sadness appearing in her deep eyes.

...

"Lady Aina, the welcoming preparations are complete, but just now the Mo Mang Palace informed us that Lady Funina has gone to Harbor."

The Privy Council.

Office of the Supreme Executive Officer.

Upon hearing her subordinate's report, Aina nodded slightly: "Pass the word down, and immediately depart for Hailu Port to welcome the Sumeru Envoy Group."

The one who came was a great sage, the person with the greatest power below the grass god of Mount Sumeru, so they naturally had to receive him with the highest level of etiquette for mortals.

"What about Lady Funina..."

"Don't worry about it, she's not targeting the delegation."

Information gathered from the 'children' revealed that a powerful blond traveler was also in the delegation, because he knew the sage Hein.

But in reality, Aina knew even more clearly that this Hein was actually the newest executive officer of the Fools, the 'Sage,' and the newly appointed ruler of the Winter Kingdom.

The sheer number of identities she possessed was astonishing. Had it not been for the information brought by Arecino, she would never have known that such an extraordinary figure had emerged from the Kingdom of Winter.
