Genshin Impact: Our journey will never end

Training room

When everyone saw the big star Funina appear, they all surrounded her.

Lawik introduced: "Ms. Funina... will participate in the performance of [Daughter of Water] as a consultant of the troupe. And these two are the middlemen who will act as a matchmaker for us and ask for Ms. Funina's help. I believe everyone is familiar with them."

A handsome guy named Biro thought and spoke first: "We all know that trial, it was exciting!"

Finina interrupted the small talk and curiously asked what the "Daughter of Water" they had just encountered was.

Delphi looked a little frustrated, but he still patiently explained: "That is the last play we performed. It is the unfinished work left by the troupe leader. For us, if we can successfully put it on stage, it will be the biggest regret in our hearts."

Paimeng was stunned. Couldn't finish it? It seems that it's not just the lack of actors, but also the need to complete the script. The workload is too huge!

Lawik told everyone what the story of the Daughter of Water was all about.

The protagonist of the story is a young pure water elf who, despite the advice of her family, transforms herself into a human. She longs to live like a human, and successfully gains friendship and love. Everything seems to be perfect. But one day her identity is exposed, and the situation takes a turn for the worse...

[Kaeya: Why do I feel that this protagonist is very similar to the water god Fukaros? ]

[Amber: I have this illusion too]

[Linnie: This play was also quite famous in Fontaine, but unfortunately it didn’t win the Fernina Prize in the end]

[Keqing: An award named after Furninna? ]

[Paimon: Funina is holding the Funina trophy to receive the Funina Award? ]

[Funina: Of course it's not impossible, but it feels weird, just like Navia taking the Navia Line.]

[Navia: It’s a bit weird indeed]

[Paimon: Huhu, this is so scary. It even woke Paimon up]

[Gan Yu: What’s wrong? 】

[Paimon: Someone was chasing us in my dream. It was so scary. That person looked a lot like the Doctor.]

【Cole: Doctor!!!】

[Shen He: Please stay with me recently]

[Doctor: Haha...there's no need to throw dirty water on me]

[Paimeng: Even if he comes, I am not afraid. My life-saving methods are very advanced! ]

[Mona: Your time ability is not stable]

[Paimon: I wonder if I can replace the Time Ruler? ]

【Wendy: Your idea is great】

[Paimon: We both have the power of time, although I am in the later stage. Are there any kings, princes, generals or ministers of different races? She can be the ruler of time, why can't I? ]

[Xingqiu: Are there any special breeds of kings, princes, generals, and ministers? Paimeng is a man of great literary talent. It is also said in the novel that the throne is passed down from generation to generation. Next year it will be my turn.]

[Alice: From a universal point of view, this is indeed the case. Maybe Paimon in the future has really done it and is peeking into the past.]

[Zhongli: Not a bad idea]

...

"So far, the plot has unfolded in a classic way. What happens next?"

Dilfi: "This is one of our problems. The story of the leader ends here. If we want to perform this play, we must continue to write an ending, but we have a lot of differences on how to write it. Whether it should be a reunion ending or a tragedy with realistic significance, we have not been able to decide yet."

The realistic significance specifically refers to the disappearance of the group leader. Reality is always more absurd than stories that have been artistically processed. However, there is no need to use the stage to convey the pain to the audience as it is. That is another matter.

Many people go to performances just for entertainment, and it is impossible not to consider the audience's feelings when performing on stage.

Another crucial point is that two key actors have not returned to the troupe.

Delphi: "But now that Ms. Funina is willing to help us, perhaps we can take this opportunity to call them all back."

Funina was a little curious, why [take this opportunity]?

Delphi smiled and explained, "You may not know this, but your name has a strong appeal to us. After all, you are always on the captain's lips, and you are really a role model."

Although Funina felt a little embarrassed, she didn't hate this feeling at all. Instead, she felt happy.

"I think the reason they haven't returned yet may be because the prospects of the previous show were still unclear, so everyone was a little skeptical. Now that the obstacles to the show are being resolved one by one, it's time to bring them back!"

When Delfie heard this, he thought it made sense and decided to go and see the most important thing first—how the ending of Poirot was written!

...

Baisong Town

"Poirot, it's me. Have you finished your book?"

Poirot said impatiently, "Why did you come all the way here?"

"Oh, don't worry about this, come out first, there is good news."

[Navia: It turned out to be him! The one who stays at home all day long, a great writer]

[Wendy: But judging from his appearance, he seems to be delaying the submission of his manuscript.]

[Yaejinko: If this happened to Inazuma, I would definitely come to supervise the work myself. Last time, there was a guy. I watched him for 8 minutes, and he only wrote 9 words. The words were the title! It really pissed me off.]

[Alice: It was a public execution, and the little fox was really worried about it.]

[Ying: I remember it’s Navia’s turn soon]

[Navia: My partner’s voice is so clear that I can hear it from a long distance]

[Wendy: Hey, hey, that’s enough, there are children here]

[Klee: Brother Wendy, are you calling Klee? Klee is not a child anymore]

[Ying: Legal Lolita: Sigwen, Zaoyou, Nashida]

[Hu Tao: Zhong Li? ]

[Zhongli: Ahem… Hall Master, please don’t make such jokes.]

[Wendy: Zhong Li in lolita form, Zhong Li in adult female form]

[Zhongli: Old man, it’s been a while since we’ve had a fight. Let me see how strong you are.]

[Yi Mo (Great Kindness Tree King): Barbatos, you are still so out of tune]

【Wendy: That’s the feature】

...

"Humph, who would believe you? Wait for me for a moment. I'm finishing it. It will be out as soon as I'm done."

Funina: "It seems as expected, the manuscript has been delayed."

Just then, a woman in a yellow dress came over, speaking in a somewhat heroic voice.

"Someone just told me that I thought he had seen it wrong. It turned out to be you and Funina. I see you are here to see Poirot. If you still need more time, you can wander around the town. I have arranged everything." Navia is still so reliable.

As a straight man, Lawik didn't understand the jargon, "It's okay, we can wait here..."

Delfie walked behind Lawvik and said as he pushed him, "Then we'd better obey your command. Let's go shopping first. Thank you for your hospitality!

Come here and pay attention to the atmosphere, okay? "

After the two of them left, they looked at each other for a while, and Funina couldn't help but ask, "Has the situation in Baisong Town improved recently?"

Navia felt a little heavy-hearted. "I can only say that they are slowly recovering, but the trauma in the hearts of many people may never heal in their lifetime."

Funina lowered her head. She also wanted to do something, but unfortunately... she could do nothing.

"Okay, do we have to talk about these heavy topics every time we meet? We all have heavy and painful memories, but we don't have to be overwhelmed by them. Since you are also planning to start over, don't always talk about the past."

Finina nodded. What Navia said made sense, but at least for now, she should keep a heavy heart.

Navia: "It's okay. I know that it's not as easy as I said in practice. I came here to tell you that so far, not everyone has forgiven the water god for doing nothing in the disaster. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I told the people in the town that you are all members of the troupe, and you are the actor who plays Funina. Although it can't be said that this is foolproof, but at least you can move freely."

Paimon couldn't help but joked: "Navia, I didn't expect you to have such a thoughtful side."

Navia crossed her arms and said unhappily, "What you said is true. The president of the Thorn Rose Society has always been bold and careful. Well, I'm leaving first. You guys stay with her."

[Linnie: At this time, I really hope that Mr. Miles and Mr. Silver can support Miss Navia behind her]

[Navia: We can't live in the past. If Myles and Silver knew that I have been living in the shadow of the past, they would be sad.]

[Paimon: That’s right, Funina, don’t be too sad. You are worthy of every Fontaine person. You have done your best.]

[Zhongli: Although I was once called the God of War, there are people I cannot protect, Guizhong, Mi Nu, Fa Nan...]

【Wendy: We...can't do anything】

[System: Hello, hello, do you want to change your numbers one by one? ]

...

"Then let's go and take a look up there. I don't have a shed where I can speak my true feelings. Maybe it's just like she said, you two are the most suitable candidates."

Ying and Paimon took a walk with Funina in Baisong Town.

"Thank you for your understanding, Ms. Navia. To be honest, I don't know if I am ready. Escape is often the most convenient option, but it can't solve any problems or help you overcome any obstacles. Yes, it's impossible not to be afraid."

"But I still feel that I should come here again. As I said before, I want to see things that I have never seen with my own eyes. If the people here are willing to forgive me, I will be very happy, but if they speak violently, I will accept it."

The people in Baisong Town stared at Funina, and some were whispering.

Ying: "There are probably some people who don't believe Navia's words."

Fu Nina nodded. She could feel those gazes. Maybe they felt that coming to Baisong Town wearing the water god costume was a disrespect to the residents here.

"I used to be very afraid of being watched, especially when being questioned and resented... Alas, it seems that I am still not ready."

Ying said with concern: "Funina, you don't need to be so hard on yourself."

Funina shook her head. She couldn't just see what she wanted to see. Wouldn't that be the same as before?

More and more people gathered in Baisong Town, and the voices of discussion became louder and louder.

....

Seeing that more and more people were coming, Funina pulled Ying to the big ship of the Rose Society, from where they could see the whole Baisong Town.

"I'm sorry, maybe you guys are in the mood for a walk, but I'm just talking about some heavy topics."

Paimon didn't take it to heart. He sat on the deck with Ying and chatted with Funina.

"Please stay with me for a while longer, thank you."

"Perhaps you can also feel that my refusal to accept my past self is not only because I have endured pain and loneliness for too long. Standing by the boat, I can see the picture of the water gradually rising in my mind. One life after another melted into water, and the lives and memories that the residents of Baisong Town cherished so much turned into bubbles. Under the protection of the gods, people firmly believe that before the disaster strikes, a powerful existence will stand up."

“I also performed continuously to make them believe that it was true...but when the water really rose, the [Water God] was indifferent.

In order to protect the truth, I have been going through similar things. The more I went through this, the more painful and lonely I became. Gradually, I had nothing but the truth. I was also afraid that I would fail completely and I sat in my seat crying. Fortunately, with the help of you and many heroes, we avoided the worst outcome.

Everyone has taken up their responsibilities, and I am free again..."

"If you think about it, freedom means not being needed, because I am no longer useful."

[Ying: And you, Furninna, my friend, you are the real hero]

[Wendy: I ​​think we need to meet. I will try to enlighten you. If that doesn’t work, there is still the Little Grass God. She can even enlighten Ying’s child. She is unique among all of us gods.]

【Amao: Oh, who needs it...】

[Nashida: Ah Mao, be good, don’t say these things that don’t mean what you say next time. Your face is shaking.]

[Yae Shenzi: Now the cannon has completely turned into the shape of the little grass god]

[Navia: Freedom is the best reward for Funina. If you hadn't stood up five hundred years ago, Fontaine might have been destroyed long ago.]

[Ying: That sentence seems to be mine, right? I have always acknowledged Funina’s identity as the Goddess of Water.]

[Funina: It’s nice to have someone I can talk to]

...

"Freedom is your reward!"

Furninna couldn't quite understand what it meant.

Ying explained: "At least you can speak your mind bravely now, and no longer feel pain and loneliness."

Funina suddenly realized that having someone to talk to was something she had never dared to think about in the past.

“Because I had to keep important secrets, I was very afraid of others noticing the real me.

[Just believe in Funina on the stage. That is the image you should trust.]

In life, curiosity and inner emotions cannot be noticed. This is why I said before that I am not a person who can maintain friendly relationships well. "

Seeing the solemn scene, Paimon's little head turned rapidly, "So that's how it is. I thought it was just your private personality that made people dislike you."

Furninna: "Paimon, you always contradict me today! It's only when you talk like that that people hate you!"

Ying: "Paimon doesn't want you to be too depressed. Look, you feel much better now that you've talked about it, right?"

Finina also understood what Paimon meant. Those were just angry words. She then looked into the distance and said slowly, "I used to have the truth. Now I am finally free. Although I don't know where to go for the time being, but... I am qualified to choose."
