Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Maple Dew Cafe.

"Mmm...so full...thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Mufeng!" After finishing the dessert, Caroline patted her round little belly contentedly, her ears swaying, looking quite like a lazy little rabbit.

A delicious afternoon tea quickly brought Mu Feng and Carolie closer. After eating and drinking her fill, Carolie enthusiastically began sharing her experiences since arriving in Fontaine with Mu Feng. However, as she spoke, she inevitably touched upon the relationship between the Melusians and the residents of Fontaine. At this point, Carolie's high spirits dipped slightly, and her once-spirited little ears drooped a little.

“Mr. Mu Feng, we have never meant any harm, but why is no one willing to believe us…” Carolie asked in a low voice, her voice trembling slightly.

Mu Feng gently patted Carolie's head with a tender expression and explained softly, "Carolie, don't be sad about this. Different races need time to adjust to each other, and it's not your fault. Besides—"

At this point, a sharp glint flashed in Mu Feng's eyes. "As far as I know, there has always been a rumor in Fontaine that the Melusin were born from a dark calamity and are an evil race that brings disaster and misfortune."

"And the reason for this is probably related to the reforms implemented by the newly appointed Supreme Court Justice."

(PS: The Melusin originated from the remains of Erinus. Erinus, a creation of the [Gold] Rhinedoth, unexpectedly fought against Fontaine during the Calamity of Kanria. He was severely injured and died in the southwest corner of Fontaine. Unwilling to destroy Fontaine with his own calamity, he chose to sleep forever. The Melusin clan of Fontaine was born from his remains.)

"Lady Vilette?" Carole asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Yes.” Mu Feng continued in a deep voice, “Navilet’s reforms have harmed the interests of the Fontaine nobles, and Melusin, as Navilet’s kin, naturally became their target.”

"These people are so mean!" Caroline stomped her foot angrily, her eyes slightly red. However, this accusation, which was not only unthreatening but also endearing, amused Mu Feng, easing the tense atmosphere somewhat.

"Actually, there's no need to worry too much." Mu Feng smoothed Caroline's messy pink hair and comforted her with a smile. "With someone as kind and lovely as Melusin as Caroline, I believe that it won't be long before everyone gradually accepts Melusin."

Mu Feng's straightforward praise made Carolie tilt her head shyly. "Hmm... Mr. Mu Feng and Lady Vilette sound alike... I understand now, Carolie will continue to work hard!"

Seeing that Caroline had regained her energy, Mu Feng skillfully changed the subject, and the conversation returned to a light and pleasant tone.

"Mr. Mufeng, how did you make such delicious desserts?"

"Oh, that's a secret."

"Eh?……"

……

The sun in Teyvat withdrew its blazing rays and slowly sank towards the Munsos Mountains in the west, its warm, soft orange light spreading across the streets of Fontainebleau, announcing the end of another day.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Mu Feng. Caroline is very happy today!"

At the entrance of Maple Dew Cafe, Caroline waved goodbye to Mu Feng with some reluctance.

"Goodbye, Caroline. If you have time, feel free to bring your Meloshen friends over for a visit!" Mu Feng stood at the entrance of the café, extending an invitation with a smile.

"Really?" Carole smiled with delight, her beautiful blue eyes curving into crescents, her little ears twitching, making her look incredibly cute.

"Of course," Mu Feng said with a smile. "Maple Dew Cafe would love to welcome you."

"Well then, Mr. Mu Feng, Carolie will head back now."

"Be careful on the road."

Watching Caroline's small figure skip and hop away, gradually disappearing at the end of the street, Mu Feng's optimistic smile slowly faded, replaced by deep worry...

Fontaine, Mumang Hall.

While on duty, Walterlin noticed Carolie skipping and hopping back, humming a cheerful tune. Carolie, who usually returned dejected, was unusually beaming today, which piqued Walterlin's curiosity. So, Walterlin, who had long regarded the innocent and pure Carolie as a younger sister, unusually took the initiative to inquire about Carolie's whereabouts.

However, seemingly as a small act of revenge for ignoring Watlin's greeting that morning, Carolie gave a slightly sly smile, mischievously hummed, ignored the curious special patrol captain, and skipped off to report to Villette.

Watling: ? ? ?

……

At seventeen, Maple Dew Cafe was still thriving, with its daily dessert reservations always exceeding supply.

As Carole's first human friend, your relationship grows increasingly close, and you become intimately familiar with each other. At the same time, she also brings many of her Melsin friends with her, who all become your close friends as well.

[The lively and enthusiastic detective Abel is always full of energy and loves to share fun anecdotes from her investigations with you; the gentle and kind nurse Siegwen often cares about your health and frequently asks you for cooking tips, though sometimes she mischievously sticks cute stickers on your back; there's also the slightly absent-minded clerk Chiara, the detective Ofini who doesn't like to chat, and fellow Shadow Chaser Effie, Sedna, Vileda, and many more. As the only restaurant willing to serve Melusin, your Maple Dew Café naturally becomes the secret hideout for the little Melusins.]

It's worth mentioning that the dedicated young ladies of the Shadow Chasing Court often discuss cases during breaks, and your outstanding logical abilities frequently offer them insightful and effective suggestions. It's fair to say that your ingenious ideas have greatly contributed to the significantly improved case-solving rate at Fontaine Palace. As a result, the lively and adorable Caroline and Abel have jokingly given you a cute codename: Dessert Detective.

As for Watlin, he also developed a good relationship with Caroline, just like in the story. Similarly, this special patrol captain is a regular at your café.

Of course, some minor incidents occurred during this time. Your behavior in serving Melousin naturally provoked considerable resentment from many Fontaine nobles and even residents. However, after a Fontaine noble publicly insulted Melousin in your café, and you swiftly and decisively threw him out and blacklisted him, declaring you would never serve him again, even the disgruntled customers had to temporarily swallow their anger. After all, no one can resist desserts that bring happiness, not even the high-ranking nobles.

Following the incident of the nobles' disturbance, although you took a firm stance with decisive action, the kind-hearted Melusin didn't want to put you in a difficult position. They quietly adjusted their visits to evenings when there were fewer people. You accepted their kindness; after all, as you said, the integration of two races takes time.

But the seeds of peace and acceptance took root and sprouted in this small café. As the residents of Fontainebleau came and went, enjoying the delicious food, they also gradually felt the kindness and warmth of the Melusin. The malicious rumors slowly dissipated, and the first small step towards peaceful coexistence between humans and Melusin was taken in your Fontainebleau Café.
