Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Looking at the girl with her hands on her knees, staring calmly at the slowly setting sun, Chang Ming suddenly felt...something was not right.

This classic speech and this extremely classic scene... Could it be that -

Lenore actually knew her mother had passed away a long time ago, and she was just pretending from just now until now? !

That’s not right... She’s just a child, why does she have such a high emotional tolerance?

"Brother Chang Ming...you said that people shouldn't worry about things beyond their ability. If you worry about everything, you will live a very tiring life..."

"So does death count as one of these things?"

Lenore's black eyes stared quietly at the man in front of her, but Chang Ming read a hint of "sadness" that shouldn't have appeared in those black eyes that were sparkling with joy and excitement.

The worst case scenario finally happened before his eyes.

Facing Lenore's question, Chang Ming slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then tried to soften his voice as much as possible, and then said softly:

"It's included, Lenore. Life and death are determined by fate. Death is an inevitable outcome for everyone, so..."

"Faced with something that is beyond human power to resist, we can only learn to submit and tentatively accept it."

"Because life must go on. You can't lock yourself in a cage and start a slow suicide just because the people around you have left."

"Lenore, your mother brought you into this world... She definitely wanted you to live a good life. She definitely didn't want to see you like this."

Having said that, Chang Ming paused for a moment, as if something was on the tip of his tongue, but he was still thinking about whether such words were appropriate for Linor now.

At this moment, Funina, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke:

"Linol, your mother has always been with you."

"From the time you kept talking about your mother, from the time you brought out the principles your mother taught you when you encountered something...she was by your side."

"Maybe you may not understand it, but in my opinion... the most important thing for parents is to teach their children how to survive in this world."

"To put it in some mysterious terms... you will become their spiritual continuation in this world. Even if they have passed away, you are still alive in this world. You are the best proof that they have ever been here."

Having said that, Funina took a deep breath, and then she tentatively moved closer to where Linor was, while continuing:

"A long time ago, Chang Ming told me that a person's death can be divided into three stages. The first is the moment when the heart stops beating - this is death in the biological sense."

"The second stage is when he holds his funeral and everyone comes to pay tribute to him. There is no place for this person in the world anymore - this is death in the social sense."

"The third stage is when no one remembers him. This is called spiritual death, also known as..."

"The Ultimate Death"

At this point, the distance between Furninna and Lenore was less than half a meter, and she stretched out her hand to her and said softly:

"If death is defined as 'the moment of reaching ultimate death'...if you choose to leave this world now, your mother will slowly face 'death' as ​​well."

"Now, the choice is yours."

"Whether you choose to end everything, or choose to continue living and continue your mother's existence, the choice is in your hands."

After hearing what Furninna said, Linor was completely stunned. After a while, she came to her senses and lowered her head slightly, thinking about what Furninna had just said.

As time passed, Funina's heart was in her throat.

In fact, from the moment she opened her mouth, she was gambling - gambling that Lenore would be shaken by her words, gambling on the degree of Lenore's belief in her.

And now, it's time to finally reveal the answer.

Whether you win or lose depends on this time.

After nearly five minutes of silence, Lenore raised her head slightly, reached out and held the hand that was extended to her, and said softly:

"...I want to continue living..."

The moment Furninna touched her, she pulled Linor into her arms, and then hugged Linor and patted her back gently, just like Chang Ming had done when he comforted her before.

Perhaps it was this warm embrace that reminded Lenore of her mother. After a brief daze, the silence turned into some sobbing, and the sobbing eventually turned into loud crying.

Looking at the two people hugging each other under the setting sun, Chang Ming's originally tense expression relaxed a little.

"Huh...it was resolved without any danger..."

"But how did she know her mother had passed away? She shouldn't have let anyone know along the way..."

Chang Ming frowned slightly, as if he couldn't understand why this was happening.

After calming down, he thought about the cause and effect of the incident and found that he could not justify it no matter what.

"Forget it, let's wait until Lenore calms down before asking her what's going on..."

"Now... let her release her emotions first. It's too tiring to hold them in all the time."

"As for whether to choose to stay in Narcissus Cross Courtyard or follow my last relative to the outskirts of Fontaine, let's discuss these matters later."

......

Just when Chang Ming and Funina had just comforted Linor, Ying and Paimon - more accurately, the Narcissus Cross Society Investigation Team - made a new discovery.

Looking at the deep water in front of him, Paimon's mouth twitched slightly, and then he looked at Seymour beside him in disbelief and asked:

"S-Seymour...Are you sure that one of the ruins of the Narcissus Cross Society is in there? Underwater?"

"Affirmative. Based on the information left in the memory module, after excluding the 'Chasing Shadow Court' which is 99% likely, the current location is the second most likely location."

"Don't worry, the designers have taken into account various accidents when designing the machine, and also designed a waterproof mechanism for the machine."

"I will be the one guiding you on the rest of the route. Please... follow my lead."
