Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Fontaine, Boufati Mansion.

"So, what exactly did Brother Mufeng say to the magician that day?"

Elodie rolled up her trouser leg and carefully touched the water's surface to test the temperature. She then quickly pulled her leg back and stuck out her cute little tongue.

"secret."

Mu Feng revealed the smile that every riddle teller knew so well, and walked into the small lake without a care in the world, carrying the empty bucket.

"See, Pepe, I knew it."

Clementine, holding Peruvieri's hand, put her hands on her hips and revealed an expression that said, "I knew it all along."

Peruvieri responded, and with a blur of motion, a plump bass was caught off guard and firmly pulled out of the water.

The unfortunate bass was thrown into an empty bucket, and Clay leaned down to look at the bass in the bucket, tears of sadness for the bass's unfortunate fate gradually spilling from the corners of her mouth.

"Mufeng, Mufeng, let's eat tonight..."

Clementine turned around with great interest, only to see Mu Feng manipulating the Eye of the Wind God to create a small whirlpool in the water, casually scooping up several large, lively fish.

A new way to use the Wind-type Divine Eye.

"Eh?"

Mu Feng picked up the iron bucket filled with sea bass and looked at Clementine, who had suddenly turned her head away halfway through her speech, with a puzzled expression.

This is definitely cheating! When will the Wind God spare a moment to glare at her?

If Mu Feng knew what Clementine was thinking at this moment, he would probably silently type a 6 and sincerely wish that the Wind God would fool you.

"Let's have grilled fish for dinner."

Mu Feng smiled and, with a few words, coaxed the previously sullen Klevy into a beaming smile.

"Wow!"

A cry of surprise rang out, and Elodie, who was holding a large fish behind her, vigorously swung its tail. Elodie, who was not on her feet, immediately fell into the water and became a drowned rat.

Thus, a new sequel was born to the discussion of the new uses of the Wind-type God's Eye.

Helplessly, Mu Feng manipulated the wind element to dry Elodie's wet clothes and hair, and tied the slipped bubble orange hair tie back onto her loose golden hair.

"Hehe, thanks, Brother Mufeng!"

Elodie casually patted her dry dress and thanked Mu Feng with a smile.

Mu Feng gently tapped her forehead, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by a sound coming from the fence.

"children."

Wearing a crisp white shirt, Kujavina walked into the backyard, clapping her hands with a smile to signal the noisy children in the yard to focus.

The once bustling and noisy courtyard gradually quieted down, and the children of the Hearth House automatically gathered around Kujavina, raising their heads to await her command.

Kujavina smiled gently as always, extended her hand in a gesture of hug, and spoke after the children had completely quieted down:

"I'm so glad that my children are growing up very well and happily at Fireplace House."

"Today, let's play a game."

"A fun game that can test the results of children's training."

……

So you came to the attic of the House of Hearths, to the room you had never set foot in before.

[White squares were painted on the dark solid wood floor, arranged in a staggered pattern extending towards the end of the corridor, much like a simple hopscotch game.]

If you ignore the sharp blades extending upwards from the grid and the eerie dark red soil, it might be an interesting game.

"As you can see."

Kujavina's gentle smile remained unchanged, but the lingering stench of blood in the room clearly spoiled the atmosphere.

"My children, the game you are about to participate in is called 'Marelle'."

"Skip the safe squares in rhythm and you'll pass the level safely."

"If you make a mistake, you'll suffer the consequences."

"So, which child would like to try first?"

Kujavina's gaze swept over the children of the fireplace house in front of her, her smile remaining unchanged.

However, the children who had previously responded enthusiastically all lowered their heads, staring at the gleaming, sharp blade, their eyes flashing with fear.

With no one responding, Kujavina seemed somewhat disappointed, so she spoke up and specified a candidate.

"Mu Feng, Peruvieri, why don't you set a good example for your younger siblings?"

Kujavina's bright red lips curled up as she pointed out Mu Feng and Peruvieri, who were secretly blocking Clementine and Elodie from the back of the crowd.

"Yes, Mother."

Mu Feng took a deep breath, pulled Peruvieri forward, and stood behind the starting line, ignoring the various gazes coming from behind.

"Then, let's get started."

Kujavina smiled and clapped her hands, signaling a rhythm to slowly rise in the dimly lit room.

The test of balance and endurance wasn't difficult for you and Peruvieri; your effortless performance seemed to have pleased Kudjavina.

"Good boy."

She praised them as she did so, while gesturing for the remaining children to come forward and try it one by one.

Seemingly inspired by your performance, some of the bolder or more capable children began to try, and Kujavina always responded with an encouraging smile.

However, attempts don't always go smoothly.

Some children couldn't keep up with the increasingly fast pace, while others gradually ran out of energy, and their carefully maintained balance began to crumble.

Finally, a girl, unable to hold on any longer, fell to the side, and on the ground beside her lay a gleaming, upward-pointing blade.

"careful!"

Elodie, who was running at the back, instinctively reached out, but the weight of the falling girl disrupted her balance, and the two of them uncontrollably fell slowly toward the blade to the side.

However, Kujavina, standing at the finish line, seemed not to have seen this scene at all. She did not react and instead shook her head in disappointment.

"Mother!"

Clementine, who had reached the finish line first, rushed forward anxiously, tugging at Kujavina's sleeve, trying to ask her for help.

However, Kujavina, who always presented a gentle demeanor, revealed a cold expression for the first time. She shook off Clementine's hand and uttered two words in a chilling tone:

"Go back."

Clementine's beautiful lake-green eyes widened in disbelief, and for a moment she was at a loss for what to do, just standing there blankly.

Just as Elodie's body was about to touch the sharp blade, a gentle breeze caught them.

Kujavina gave Mu Feng, whose right hand was behind his back, a meaningful look, left behind an ambiguous remark, and then strode away in her high heels.

"Useless kindness will eventually kill you."

"I hope there won't be a next time."

With those emotionless words, Kujavina's figure had already disappeared into the attic.

Mu Feng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Rashly facing the pressure of the fourth seat of the Fools' Executor made him feel the gap between himself and the Fools' high-end combat power for the first time.

This is a warning, and also a wake-up call.

Mu Feng gently picked up the somewhat frightened Elodie, softly comforting the sobbing little girl. His gaze went past Elodie's shoulder to look into the distance, his eyes filled with worry and solemnity.

He knew that this was nothing more than a trivial prelude.
