Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Why... is this happening?

The girl with cat ears struggled in the darkness, trying to break free of the ropes binding her. The rough hemp ropes rubbed against her thin wrists, leaving bloody marks.

Just now, my adoptive father, with whom I have lived for many years, met someone with a big smile, and he addressed the person as "commander".

Then, without any warning, she was tied up and thrown into the other party's carriage.

With his adoptive father's fawning smile, the obese "big shot" boarded the carriage with satisfaction and drove it away into the distance.

It's so cold here.

Linette, who was in the back of the carriage, could not see her surroundings and felt the jolting of the carriage and the biting cold.

It wasn't just physical coldness, but also a coldness of heart.

why?

Just because she has unusual ears and a tail, does she have to face omnipresent malice?

Brother...where are you...?

The girl drooped her ears tightly, curled her tail, and pressed the tips of her teeth against the base of her tongue.

"boom!"

The violent jolting nearly overturned the carriage, and a chaotic cacophony of noise and footsteps echoed across the ground, followed by the dull thud of weapons piercing flesh and the pitiful cries of the dying.

Before long, everything outside the carriage seemed to have calmed down; there was no sound and no human presence.

In the end what happened?

A strong smell of blood wafted through the air, and a hint of terror flickered in Lynette's purple eyes. She held her breath, trying not to make a sound.

"Come out."

"Hiding won't help."

The person who harmed you is dead.

A cold voice, laced with chilling murderous intent, entered the carriage. Little Lynette's tense body gradually relaxed. She raised her head, and bright red cross-shaped pupils came into view.

"Nice ears, can be used for eavesdropping."

"From now on, let's learn to make good use of them."

The dark hand rubbed her ear gently, and Lynette stared blankly at her future "father," but for the first time, she did not feel disgusted by the touch.

“Pepe,”

You scared her!

Peruvieri's hand was gently pushed away by another small, fair hand. The petite, pink-haired girl put her hands on her hips and helplessly pushed aside the cold "father".

"Little kitty, don't be afraid."

"never mind."

Clementine crouched down and gently pulled the frightened little Linnie into her arms. A gentle breeze blew by, and the dark red marks on the girl's body slowly faded.

The moonlight that night was bright enough to light the way home.

……

"I'm sorry, Father."

"I was too impulsive."

The girl lying on the hospital bed was covered in bandages. Her voice was weak, but she still managed to reach out her hand. Dark red bloodstains soaked the snow-white bandages.

"I saw those patients..."

"Bang!"

The door to the infirmary was violently pushed open, and Clementine, carrying a medical kit, stormed into the infirmary in a rage. Her usually gentle face was devoid of smiles, replaced by an angry expression.

"These bastards!"

Clementine quickly picked up the medicine in her hand and applied it to the girl on the hospital bed. The green wind element instantly lit up, gently healing the large and small wounds on her body.

Despite undergoing treatment, she surprisingly uttered sharp accusations, much to the surprise of the two people in the ward.

"Lady Clementine, you don't need to..."

Shenetzfna, lying on her sickbed, spoke weakly, but was quickly interrupted by Crevie, who was like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"Stop! Your task is to get some rest!"

Shenetsfna's words were stuck in her throat; she opened her mouth, but ultimately couldn't utter a single word.

"Alright, Clay."

Peruvieri gently stroked Crevie's pink hair, then turned to Schneizevna on the hospital bed, her bright red cross-shaped eyes flashing with a cold light.

"Leave the rest of the task to me."

……

the next day.

Fontaine News Headline: Rising philanthropist Mr. Talduffer was assassinated in the early hours of the morning; scandals surrounding his life have been exposed, and a huge fortune has vanished.

“Fimini, I just received a grant.”

"Next year, we can take in more homeless children..."

The sounds from outside the door drifted in from afar. Sitting by the hospital bed, Clementine poked Schneizenna's shoulder with her delicate white finger, and teased her with a smile:

"Are you relieved now?"

The girl on the hospital bed gave a faint smile. She raised her head slightly and spoke with difficulty:

"Thanks……"

"Once my injuries heal, I'll go on my next mission..."

Clementine, who had just been smiling, instantly changed her expression. She put her hands on her hips, adopted a fierce look, and replied seriously:

"Schenetzfna!"

"Your next task is to rest and recuperate for a year!"

"This is an order!"

After saying that, she picked up her medical kit, turned around and left the clinic in a huff.

In the quiet darkness, Schneizenna, lying on her sickbed, smiled, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.

"Thanks……"

she murmured.

my family".

……

Fontaine, now a desolate ruin.

"Ding Dong..."

Bright jewels scattered in front of the stone tablet with the raindrops. Peruvieri stood up, water droplets slowly dripping down her short white hair, tapping on the stone tablet and making a crisp sound.

Here we bury the last rays of the setting sun and welcome the rising sun.

The nameless tombstone bears indistinct inscriptions, while beneath it, another line of inscription is hidden among the weeds.

The wind brought the seeds of the story, and time made them sprout.

"Those who claim to be righteous often do unjust things."

“But we are different.”

She spoke softly, her dark fingertips tracing the slightly worn stone tablet.

The curse spread with her emotions, and the golden light shone brightly as it had countless times, extinguishing the curse's erosion.

While she could enjoy peace at night, she desperately longed to see his figure in the lingering shadow of the calamity.

In this way, she might be able to tell him that the "home" he entrusted to is now doing well; and that the nobles he despises are still on trial.

From him onwards

There were no more children injured or killed at the fireplace house.

"rest in peace."

When she turned around, she was no longer Péruvelli, but the "father" of the Hearth House—Aregino.

The rain is getting heavy.

……

Five years later, at the fireplace house, in "Father's" office.

"Father, here are the materials you requested."

"Thank you for your hard work, Linni."

The door closed, and the office fell silent once more.

"Pepe..."

"Could it be him?"

A trembling sound came from the windowsill, and the necklace of soft lampbells shimmered in the moonlight.

Peruvelli tapped her fingertips on the wooden tabletop, her bright red cross-shaped pupils flickering in the darkness, neither confirming nor denying anything.

"The truth behind the resurrection: The café manager who returned from another country."

Moonlight streamed through the French windows, illuminating the thick stack of documents on the table. The headline on the cover of the Steambird newspaper, with its white background and black lettering, stood out prominently.

The door opened again, and Elodie, her hair disheveled, rushed into the dark office, her beautiful purple eyes glistening with tears.

"Pepe..."

Her voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes held a pleading hope.

God, have you heard my wish?

“Crevy, Elodie.”

Anger makes people impulsive, and sadness makes them hesitant.

Peruvieri stood up, suppressing her emotional turmoil, her tone remaining as calm as ever.

"If all of this is true, that would be for the best."

"But if it weren't for..."

Peruvieri narrowed her eyes, a dangerous glint in her cross-shaped pupils.

"This is a trap."

"Not many people know him, but we can use this information to create a bargaining chip that we have no choice but to take..."

"The opponent must be confident that they can kill with one blow."

who can that be?

Was it that group of nobles and wealthy merchants, or...?

The water god who always pretended to be stupid.

Silence fell over the office. After a long while, Elodie's suppressed voice rang out.

"What should I do?"

Knowing that he might be there,

But they could only watch from afar.

"I will keep my appointment."

Peruvée suddenly stood up, turned and walked towards the door, but stopped abruptly the moment she stepped out of the doorway.

"If I don't come back."

"The House of Hearths is now in your and Linnie's hands."

"Cravlie".

The door closed, and the remaining two chased after it. The moonlight quietly shone into the empty room.

On the cabinet, pink, white, and gold rabbit dolls leaned against each other in the stillness, bathed in the silvery moonlight.
