Yes, Lady Funina!

When Fukalos refused, Lynette didn't say anything more. After all, it was Fukalos's own fault for not coming, and she had invited her. If things came up later, she wouldn't be blamed for it.

As for whether Fukaros can succeed... Lynette is actually not optimistic, because even if they are not there, Inazuma will definitely take action.

While not ruling out the possibility of an accident, Lynette kindly advised, "It would be best to discuss this with Inazuma."

“You’re right,” Fukalos readily agreed.

Lynette was visibly taken aback by Faucos's straightforward answer. Huh? She listens to advice so readily?

Benlinet thought that Fukaros would disregard her words and recklessly rush in.

But the other party seemed surprisingly receptive to advice?

pity……

Fukaros was no fool. Lynette's painful experience was still fresh in her mind, so how could she not listen to her advice?

Chapter 200 Rewards and Essential Oils

Fukaros's visit took Yae no Miko and Kage by surprise. It was because of this visit that Yae no Miko, who had gotten a taste of the goodness of the goodness, had to give up her idea of ​​turning into a little fox and secretly visiting Richard's office.

Originally, Yae no Miko thought that having a shadow was enough.

But Ying felt that since the Water God had come to visit in person, it would be fine if you, the Eightfold Divine Child, were too busy, but you clearly had time and yet you didn't see him. That was inappropriate, wasn't it?

You not only don't want to see the Water God, but you're also thinking of sneaking into his house to steal someone.

This is going too far. Even the Shadow couldn't stand Yae no Kami's behavior.

Of course, while she couldn't bear to watch, Ying couldn't help but wonder... was that kind of thing really comfortable?

Just moments ago, the Divine Child was wailing and complaining that her whole body ached and her bones felt like they were falling apart. But after only one night, the recovered Divine Child seemed to feel confident again and was eager to challenge Richard once more...

Clarinde had experienced a similar state to Yae no Miko, but the result was obvious: she was completely subdued and fully realized the vast gap between herself and Richard.

"What is that new water god doing here?" Yae no Miko wondered.

"I don't know." Ying shook her head. "I'll know once I meet them, but I think it's probably because of personal matters."

The personal matters Shadow mentioned here are definitely related to Richard. After all, the only connection between Shadow, Fukaros, and Fryna, besides being among the Seven Rulers of the Mortal World, should be Richard.

In fact, it could be said that this trip to Fontainebleau was largely due to Richard; cultural exchange was just a side effect.

You could say that I made the dumplings just for this dish of vinegar.

In this respect, Yae no Miko is more cunning than Kage, since Kage's only identities besides Narukami are Shogun.

And she, Yae no Miko, is still the editor-in-chief of Yaedo. Once Yaedo has established itself in Fontaine, it is only reasonable for her, as the editor-in-chief, to frequently travel to Fontaine for business, right?

Anyway, Narukami Shrine doesn't have much to do on weekdays except for festivals. And even if there is something to do, Inashiro Hotaru, whom she personally trained, and the other shrine maidens are not to be trifled with.

Soon, Kage and Yae no Miko met Fukaros, who had come to visit. Even though they had met countless times, Yae no Miko still felt that Fukaros and Funinna were exactly the same person.

They are even more like twins than twins. Even the real and the shadow of the original were not as similar as Funinna and Fukaros. It's as if they were split into two people from one person.

It's like the general and the shadow, except the general doesn't have the same level of intelligence as Fukalos. In essence, he's just a high-level artificial intelligence, not a living being.

"Ms. Lei Yingdian and Ms. Yae Miko, please forgive my intrusion, but how have you been in Fontainebleau these past few days? Are you satisfied with our hospitality?"

Fukaros certainly couldn't just say to Kage and Yae no Miko, "I'm meeting Richard tomorrow, and none of you are allowed to compete with me for him."

It's definitely necessary to proceed step by step. First, have a formal greeting, then slowly probe the thoughts of the two people in front of you. Finally, after confirming that their needs do not conflict with your own, make your own request and make a promise.

"Your hospitality is excellent, even a bit too much. In comparison, we are the ones who benefit." Ying said this while glancing at Yae no Miko.

The hospitality was indeed quite good; didn't you see that the Divine Child has made a fortune?

Before they even had a proper cultural exchange or started communicating, Fontaine and Inazuma's high-ranking officials had already exchanged bodily fluids, leaving Fontaine completely saturated.

To be honest, Ying was genuinely worried that Fukaros had come to cause trouble for Yae no Miko.

Even Kage thought that Yae no Kami was incredibly rude, launching a sneak attack without a word when everyone was most cautious and relaxed.

At the time, everyone was thinking about how to treat each other, and no one expected that Yae no Miko would be so bold as to pluck the peach in full view of everyone.

Fukaros was unaware of her scheme; Yae no Miko had already obtained it. Right now, she was just trying to figure out how to phrase her purpose in a way that would make it sound more convincing.

After exchanging pleasantries, when Fukaros asked them about their plans for the next day, Shadow gradually realized the other party's intentions.

"Tomorrow night, the Opiclay Opera House will be showing the musical 'Daughter of Water,' which has been very popular in Fontainebleau recently. I've already spoken to them, and members of the Inazuma delegation only need to show their delegation credentials to enter directly; they don't need to buy additional tickets," Fukalos said.

"These abacus beads are practically falling into my and Ying's faces," Yae no Miko thought.

Our wise and beautiful fox spirit saw through Fukaros's little scheme at a glance. She made no attempt to hide it, practically telling them openly that Richard's time tonight would be hers to take over.

As Yae no Miko thought this, she glanced at Kage beside her, wanting to hear her thoughts.

After all, the Divine Child certainly didn't care. She had already achieved her biggest goal for this trip. Now that Fukaros had come to her door, it wouldn't hurt to give him face. There was still a long road ahead.

If her subordinate Yaedo wanted to gain a foothold in Fontainebleau, she would need the help of Fukaros, a local bigwig. It would be beneficial to maintain good relations with him.

Even if things don't work out in the future, you can ask the other party to share Richard's firepower, right?

Of course, if the Shadow doesn't want to, Yae no Miko will definitely have to go along with the Shadow's lead.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Divine Child's favorite thing to do is joke around with her own gods. When it comes to choosing sides, the Divine Child will definitely stand on the side of the Shadow without any conditions.

Shadow did not show any objection. She remained calm and unhurried, and showed interest in Fukaros's words.

Fontaine's musicals have long been renowned in Teyvat, and even those living in the General's Mansion have heard of them.

"Thank you for your kindness, I will go," Ying nodded in agreement.

When Yae no Miko saw that Kage had agreed, she understood what she meant. However, simply agreeing like that wasn't enough; she needed to make the other party feel indebted to her.

"Will Lady Fukaros come along?" Yae no Miko asked.

As if she had expected Yae no Miko to say that, Fukaros replied without any change in expression, "I'm sorry, although I would like to go to the musical with you, I may have other important things to do at that time."

"I see, that's a pity." Yae no Miko didn't ask what the other party had to do. Everyone knew the truth about this, and saying it aloud would be unkind.

"Let's get together sometime in the future. If you encounter any difficulties in Fontainebleau, feel free to come to me, and I will do my best to help you both."

While achieving his goal, Fucarus also made his promise: if you give me face today, I will give you face tomorrow.

Having understood this, Yae no Miko nodded in satisfaction and said no more. She smiled and said, "Then I wish the Water Goddess all the best in her next mission."

After Fukaros left, Yae no Miko yawned and looked at the shadow beside her, saying, "Aren't you worried at all?"

"Why the rush?" Ying asked rhetorically.

Richard is right there; there's no way she can escape. Even if she wanted to, Richard probably wouldn't let her.

Why rush to give it away for free?

Compared to taking the initiative, Shadow prefers to wait for the right time, and now is clearly not a suitable time.

However, Richard was clearly in Fontainebleau. Logically speaking, she could have waited until she and the Divine Child left before taking her time. Ying didn't understand why Fukaros was in such a hurry.

Is it because of a sense of crisis, fearing that he and the Divine Child will steal Richard away?

Ying didn't understand, but offered her blessings.

After all, the thoughts of women in love are often hard to fathom; sometimes they may not even know what they want.

"Where are you going?" Ying asked, seeing that Yae no Miko seemed to be going out.

Yae no Miko turned her head and said with a double meaning, "Of course, we should hurry up and go to sleep."

After all, if Fukaros takes over tomorrow, and if Funina reappears the day after tomorrow, how will she survive?

At her age, it's time for her to sleep!

Upon hearing Yae no Miko's words, Kage didn't immediately react. Sleep? Shouldn't sleeping mean going back to your own room? Why are you going outside?

After Ying realized what was happening, she understood that the sleep Yae Shinji was talking about was not the kind of sleep she thought it was. One had a companion, and the other did not. Although the result was the same, the process was completely different.

Ying's cheeks flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but glare at the lecherous fox in front of her.

The evaluation was a harmless glare, and Yae no Miko even had the leisure to tease Kage, asking, "Want to come along? I don't mind bringing you along, and I believe Richard won't mind either."

"No thanks." Shadow's skin wasn't as thick as the Divine Child's. Still a virgin, she couldn't withstand the Divine Child's nonsense.

Seeing Ying's speechless expression, Yae no Miko chuckled twice and didn't pursue the matter further. She swayed her hips and walked out of the room. After leaving the room, Yae no Miko changed her previous frivolous manner in front of Ying and became dignified.

To outsiders, this priest from Inatsume Narukami Shrine possessed an indescribable air of holiness.

It was as if she wasn't going to Richard for pleasure, but rather on a pilgrimage.

Yes, it's a rising tide.

Shadow, left alone in the empty room, suddenly realized something: Claude hadn't shown up for their appointment today, saying Richard wanted to see her about something, like a reward...

Is this a legitimate reward? Surrounded by a group of experienced female drivers, Ying's thoughts began to wander.

However, the next thought was, what if the two of them bumped into each other?

It can't be that much of a coincidence, can it?

……

……

In Richard's home, a small pink fox quietly appeared on the window of the master bedroom on the second floor. Looking at the half-open window, the little fox slipped in like liquid and entered the room.

The little fox landed lightly, her soft paws helping to eliminate most of the noise and reduce the impact of her landing.

After nimbly surveying her surroundings, the little fox realized that the owner of the house was not in the bedroom. She looked up at the clock on the wall and wondered what was on her mind at such a late hour.

The little fox twitched its nose slightly, noticing that the bedroom owner's scent was quite strong and fresh, confirming that the person should be home.

Since that's the case, let's give him a surprise!

The little fox thought for a moment, then leaped up and landed on the big bed. Then, like its kind catching mice in the snow, it stretched high and plunged into the bedding, quietly hiding itself.

Meanwhile, in the gym on the basement floor of Richard's house, Clarinde was lifting weights. Perhaps due to the intensity of her workout, the agent's face was flushed and she was sweating profusely.

Sweat soaked through her thin, breathable undershirt, and under the influence of gravity, it pooled at her feet, following the curves of her slender body.

Perhaps due to overheating from exercise, Clarinde's clothes were being removed one by one, and Richard was constantly pouring liquid over her to help cool her down.

This liquid not only effectively cools the body, but also has great health benefits, and is widely used in the medical and healthcare field.

Its scientific name is essential oil.

The oil currently being used on Clarinde is the famous creation of the Mondstadt Alchemy Workshop—Frostbite Oil.

This was a reward specially made by Richard for Clarinde. The generous Richard naturally couldn't just prepare this one for her, but instead made seven different essential oils with different elements.

It encompasses seven elements commonly found in Teyvat, each with unique effects.

Just like the Frostbite Oil that Clorinde is using now, as the name suggests, it makes people more compatible with the ice element. After applying it, you will feel a cool sensation and you will not sweat easily.

In addition to enhancing ice elemental magic abilities, it also cools the body and calms the mind.

Some might say, "Who uses essential oils when they work out?"

Indeed, I don't apply it while working out because it's easy to slip, but haven't I already warmed up?

When it's time to relax, applying some essential oils is just the right thing to do. Can't you see that Clarinde is already so comfortable that she can't even speak?

Furthermore, because Frostbite Oil contains abundant ice elemental power, it is highly likely to react with the lightning elemental power that Clorinde herself possesses.

Anyone who has studied advanced elemental reaction theory knows that when lightning comes into contact with ice, a reaction phenomenon called 'superconductivity' occurs.

This phenomenon is vividly demonstrated in Klorinde, which can be described as a severe case of superconductivity.

The key point is that during the superconducting process, the effects of the Frostbite essential oil continued to take effect, and its icy aura pulled Clarind back from the brink of losing herself several times.

Clarinde could not describe this lucid sense of descent into depravity. In the strange feeling of reason and chaos intertwined, she felt as if her soul had been sublimated. At one moment, she felt light as a feather, as if she were floating on clouds.

When she came to her senses again, she found herself being carried away from the gym filled with sweat and hormones by Richard.

When Claudia realized they were heading towards the bedroom on the second floor, her delicate body trembled.

Gurgle... Why are you coming again?

Is there no one who can save her?

Chapter 201 Sharing the same fate

The Yae no Miko, who had transformed into her true form and was curled up in the quilt, waited for Richard for a long time but he did not come. Just as she was about to close her eyes and fall asleep, her pink furry ears trembled slightly.

Footsteps!
