Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Just as your Maple Dew Café is becoming a sensation in Fontainebleau, a fierce power struggle is brewing within the city's upper echelons, threatening to escalate further.

As an outsider, Navilette was somewhat outnumbered and outmatched by the local nobles of Fontaine. Even with his formidable personal strength, he was powerless in the political struggle. Especially after Navilette initiated a series of institutional reforms, the opposing nobles, whose interests were threatened, directly targeted Navilette's newly established institution, the Shadow Chaser's Court, and exploited the issue of the Melusin race. Suddenly, the conflict between humans and Melusins ​​within Fontaine intensified.

Fontaine, Lujingquan.

“Mr. Navigette…”

Caroline lowered her head, her lively ears drooping, and the light in her beautiful light blue eyes dimmed slightly, indicating that she was feeling down.

"To be honest, many people threw stones at us today, telling us to go back to the village."

"It hurt so much when the stone hit my head; I barely managed to hold back my tears."

Villette's serious expression softened slightly, and she sighed softly, "For different races to live together, time and effort are essential. As an outsider, I'm afraid I have no experience to share."

“I see…” Carolie frowned slightly, lost in thought. But soon she was full of energy again, waving her little fist and saying, “Then let’s work together, Lady Vilette!”

"One day, we will find the meaning of existence!"

Seeing the spirited Caroline, Navelette rarely showed a relieved smile and introduced Caroline to another of his capable assistants—Watlin, the captain of the Fontaine Special Patrol Team.

Immediately afterwards, the special patrol team leader, Watling, earned the nickname "Silly Wood".

After teasing the captain, Caroline playfully stuck out her tongue and then skipped and hopped into the street patrol.

......

On the other side, Maple Dew Cafe.

"Aqiu!"

"Hey, Wartlin, are you sick?"

A cheeky voice came from behind, but Wotterlin didn't turn around. As if he was used to it, he continued to focus on the dessert in front of him.

Mu Feng didn't care about Watlin's reaction at all. He casually pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Watlin, poured himself and Watlin a cup of black tea with practiced ease, and then winked and said, "Haven't been here for a while. What's up? Is there some big case that's giving you, the captain, a real headache?"

Wottering rolled his eyes at Mu Feng, utterly speechless. No one would have guessed that the renowned pastry chef, whose fame resounded throughout Fontaine, had such a quirky personality in private.

Their acquaintance dates back to when Funina visited Maple Dew Café for "investigation." Waterlin, responsible for Funina's safety, couldn't resist the delicious treats after a casual "sip," becoming a regular customer. It must be admitted that Maple Dew Café's desserts have a magical power to relax and enjoy, especially when major cases are unfolding; the stressed Waterlin often comes to the café to unwind. Over time, the two became acquainted.

After a moment of contemplation, Watling carefully chose his words and answered in a low voice with three words: "Chasing Shadows Courtyard".

Mu Feng understood immediately, but still feigned confusion and asked, "Is it the new organization that Vilette established?"

Wotterlin nodded. "The nobles of Fontaine are very dissatisfied with Lord Vilette's policies. The Shadow Court is just an excuse for them to cause trouble." As he said this, Wotterlin couldn't help but clench his fist.

"As for more details, I have a duty to keep it confidential, I'm sorry."

This time it was Mu Feng's turn to have a speechless expression. Watlin was really inflexible. If he didn't know the plot, he would have sent Watlin a box of razor blades for his behavior of stopping updates and ending the story in a bad way.

Mu Feng outwardly wore an understanding smile, but inwardly he was furious. Don't be fooled by Wottering's seemingly honest and businesslike demeanor; after Caroline, whom he considered his sister, was forced to commit suicide in the story, this guy turned into a wolf and slaughtered almost the entire Fontaine noble class.

Rules are meant to be broken!

Ahem, it’s a conspiracy.

Seemingly noticing Mu Feng's "resentful" gaze, Watlin coughed twice, embarrassed but polite, and prepared to get up and say goodbye: "I have official business this afternoon, so I'll take my leave now."

……

After seeing Watlin off, Mu Feng returned to the front desk and began to stare blankly, chin in hand. Sixteen years had passed since he arrived here, and apart from opening a coffee shop, even knowing the course of events, he seemed powerless to change anything.

The struggle between Villette and the Fontaine nobles was something a small café owner like himself, who hadn't even obtained the Eye of God, could never get involved in. If things were hopeless, he would just have to stay and live a mundane life tending to this café.

There's always a sense of resentment; as a time traveler, I can't change anything...

Just as Mu Feng was lost in thought, a sudden commotion outside the window abruptly interrupted his train of thought.

"Get out of the way! If you don't move, I'll call the police!"

"Please calm down, I... I didn't mean any harm..."

"Oh, who knows?"

Upon hearing this familiar conversation, Mu Feng frowned, got up, pushed open the shop door, and stepped out of the coffee shop.

Maple Dew Cafe is located on a bustling street in Fontainebleau. At this moment, on the main road in front of the cafe, a man and two women are aggressively surrounding a soft pink Melusin and loudly berating it. The Melusin is somewhat at a loss in the face of the three aggressive individuals. It tries its best to explain but seems to be intimidated by their aura and doesn't know how to speak for a moment.

"Heh, races of unknown origin are all unreliable. I wonder what Vilette was thinking, letting them live in Fontaine?" The leading noblewoman, Simone, crossed her arms and sneered sarcastically.

The tall man named Claudemo on the other side was even more impolite, his words dripping with sarcasm as he openly and subtly accused Vilette of favoritism and corruption. This made Carole both angry and aggrieved, her eyes welling up with tears.

Just then, Mu Feng arrived and interrupted the three of them from saying something even more outrageous.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm. If there is any misunderstanding, we can resolve it calmly."

Upon Mu Feng's interruption, the leading noblewoman seemed to recognize the renowned pastry chef from Fontaine. Her expression softened slightly, but she still maintained an arrogant demeanor. "Hmph, you're the owner of that Maple Dew Café? Perfect, you be the judge!"

"We originally intended to dine at your restaurant, but this foreigner stopped us halfway and put on airs. Who knows what ulterior motive he might have!"

The girl next to her, Collidale, stood with her hands on her hips and chimed in, "Hey, boss, as our guests, you have to guarantee our safety!"

With the support of her companions, Ximoni became even more imposing: "That's right, boss. I order you now to get rid of this disgusting alien right now!"
