"Come here, I have something to talk to you about."

Chao Ke swallowed hard. Oh no, something bad is about to happen.

Feeling a little guilty, she sat down opposite Arecino and gave Ke an awkward smile. "What's wrong, sis? Why are you so serious?"

Arecino didn't speak, but kept scrutinizing Chao Ke with her eyes.

After a moment, he sighed, "I've realized you're really hungry."

Chao Ke: "?"

"This evening, someone specifically asked to meet me. Want to know who it was?"

"Who?"

"Carles Casapa, president of the Fontainebleau Rose Society."

Chao Ke frowned. He shouldn't have any connection with this person anymore. Wait, did Cares come looking for him because of his conversation with Navia that night?

Not really...

Seeing the change in Chao Ke's expression, Arecino knew that Chao Ke had guessed why Carles had come to her door.

"I didn't realize you were so popular with the girls. Navia's attitude towards you really scared Cares. He came all the way to me hoping I could transfer you."

Chao Ke laughed awkwardly, "Is it that exaggerated? Navia and I did get along quite well that night, but it wasn't to that extent, was it?"

Arecino didn't speak, but silently watched the expression on Chao Ke's face.

After a long silence, Arecino spoke.

"Let's pack up tonight and prepare to leave Fontainebleau tomorrow."

Chao Ke: ? ? ?

"Sis! You're not really going to sell me out, are you?!"

Arecino said in a low voice, "He gave me a reason I couldn't refuse."

...

Time returns to evening.

Inside the Grand Hotel de Bois, Aregino entered the private room that Carles had reserved.

There was no one else in the room except for Kares.

Since it was a private gathering and there were no outsiders present, the two exchanged a few pleasantries before getting down to business.

Kares looked solemnly at the Fatui executor opposite him and spoke.

"Your Excellency Arecino, I need your help with something."

"Oh? Please tell me."

Arecino raised the corner of her eye slightly, a hint of curiosity in her heart.

Within Fontainebleau, what could be so easily resolved by the local powerhouse, the Rose Society, that they would need to seek help from the Fools?

"Lady Arecino, I want someone to disappear from Fontaine."

"Oh, who does Chairman Kares want to disappear?"

"Chao Ke, manager of Jiaziwei Restaurant!"

"Who?!" Arecino exclaimed in surprise. "President Carres doesn't know he's my brother?"

"You fools, what do you care about these things?"

Arecino tapped her long fingers on the table and said solemnly.

"This person is my dearest friend, my brother."

Carles was about to explain that all they had to do was transfer Chao Ke away, but he was shocked by what Arecino said next.

"You have to pay more!"

Carles nearly dropped his knife and fork, but since Alegino had already spoken, he naturally wouldn't let the opportunity pass, and so he said...

"Alright! As long as you can transfer Chao Ke away from Fengdan, whatever you want from my Thorn Rose Society, just name it!"

Arecino smiled and said to Carres with a playful expression.

"I've set my sights on the Rose Society. President Carles, would you be willing to part with it?"

Carles was startled and stood up abruptly from the table. "Your Excellency Arecino, this is not the attitude for conducting business."

Arecino laughed. "Of course it is! Business requires an equal exchange. In my heart, my brother's importance is no less than the importance of the Rose Society in your heart!"

After saying that, Arecino also stood up and looked Carres straight in the eye.

"President Carres, there's something I need to tell you. Betrayal is not allowed in the House of Hearths."

After speaking, Arecino straightened her clothes and prepared to leave the private room.

As she was about to leave, Arecino turned back and said something to Carles.

"You don't need to worry too much about your daughter. My brother has never been interested in young girls."

After saying that, Aregino left the Grand Hotel de Bois without looking back.

Carles was left standing there, lost in thought.

----------

at home.

Chao Ke looked somewhat gloomy, never expecting that one day his older sister would kick him out of the house.

"Puch."

Chao Ke turned around and found that Arecino, who had been sitting upright with a serious expression, was now laughing.

When his older sister laughed, Chao Ke immediately realized what was going on.

"Sis, you're lying to me!"

Arecino covered her smiling face with her hands, her shoulders shaking slightly before finally calming down after a while.

"To be honest, I'm not lying to you. You do need to leave Fontainebleau, but not because of the Rose Society. There's a mission that requires you to go on a field trip."

As Arecino spoke, she pulled out a document from the side and handed it to Chao Ke.

"This is?"

Chao Ke curiously took the mission document and began to look through it.

The task document is very vague; it basically says to deliver a box of items to a certain place in Mondstadt.

Arecino pulled a box made of alchemical materials from under the table.

The box was covered with various restrictions using different methods, and at a glance, one could tell that what was inside was extraordinary.

"Let me tell you, the person being handed over to in Mondstadt is the [Eighth Seat] of the Fatui Executors."

Chao Ke's eyes twitched. The Eighth Seat... that's...

"Sis, this field assignment is great, it suits me perfectly..."

Arecino pursed her lips and said nothing.

Chapter 49 "Miss tour guide, you don't want to have your bonus deducted because of a bad review, do you?"

Early in the morning, under Arecino's strange gaze, Chao Ke handed over a complete bottle of [Fiery Essential Oil].

This bottle of "Fiery Essential Oil" was just delivered to my door by Catherine.

From assigning the task to receiving the finished product, it took less than 48 hours in total.

Chao Ke sighed, "The Fools are indeed a large-scale militarized organization; their efficiency is truly remarkable."

Arecino tapped her fingertip next to the [Fiery Essential Oil], "What do you mean by giving me this?"

Thinking of certain memories that had already been censored and blocked three times, Chao Ke coughed awkwardly and said.

"This stuff can also be drunk directly... Within five minutes of consumption, it will significantly increase the user's fire element strength."

After a pause, Chao Ke added, "If you take it orally, you won't experience the same discomfort as when you apply it topically... I've tried it myself, and you can use it with confidence during battle."

"Ah."

Arecino blushed slightly, agreed, and solemnly accepted it.

She understood Chao Ke's intentions. Given her current strength, a potion that could significantly enhance her combat power was extremely precious.

Even if it had severe side effects, let alone no side effects, it would be priceless.

After saying goodbye to his older sister, Chao Ke greeted his employees and handed over the restaurant's operation and coordination with the central kitchen to Butterley.

After dealing with these trivial matters, Chao Ke took one last look at the scenery of Fontaine. He was afraid that he would not be able to return for a month or two after leaving.

Carrying the mission items, Chao Ke boarded the next patrol boat bound for Hailu Port at the waterway hub in the Ting District.

After a period of waiting, a patrol boat docked at the platform.

"Hey, what a coincidence?"

The guide for this patrol boat was none other than Aibell, a small, energetic blue boat.

Since it was not a peak time, and the Clementine Line was not a popular route, there was only one passenger waiting, Chao Ke.

On the patrol boat, Abel greeted Chao Ke warmly, "Passenger, please board as soon as possible, this voyage is about to begin!"

"Ok."

After boarding the patrol boat with a smile, Chao Ke looked at Aibel and his eyes were immediately captivated by her cuteness.

"So cute! I really want to hug me and give me a little rub..."

However, Aibel seemed oblivious to the strange look in Chao Ke's eyes, and instead began her tour guide duties with great enthusiasm.

"It's time to set sail! Let's go!"

"Welcome aboard the comfortable Clementine Line! Your highly-rated tour guide is at your service!"
