Chapter 149 A Novel Cake
Listening to what Qiuhe kept saying, Vilette pondered for a while and felt that what he said made sense, but then she thought that the public was still unaware of this matter.
Moreover, regardless of the circumstances, the Fools' use of vigilante justice to murder the people of Fontainebleau is a violation of the principles of justice, and it doesn't matter whether the perpetrators were evil or not.
Furthermore, the people of Fontaine are currently unaware of Ranach's murder, and the suspicion that he is still plotting against Fontaine could cause unease among them.
Seeing Vilette deep in thought, Qiuhe seemed to understand what she was thinking and finally said, "Rules are rigid, but people are flexible."
"If you don't want the people to know that the rules of justice have been violated, why not just fabricate a fact?" Vilette listened to Qiuhe's words.
There were still some things he didn't understand, and seeing Vilette's puzzled look, Qiuhe simply said, "You don't need to worry about this."
"I'll help you resolve this matter," Qiuhe said. Hearing this, Vilette knew there was no such thing as a free lunch. "I guess you're not helping for nothing, right?"
After Navisle finished speaking, Qiuhe smiled and said, "Mr. Navisle, there's no such thing as a free lunch. I certainly wouldn't help you for nothing."
Of course, I don't expect you to pay any price; I just want you to owe me a favor so that if I encounter any difficulties in the future, the great Judge can help me.
"Then I am also very happy and relieved," Villette thought for a moment, if it was just some difficulty that required her help and did not violate the law...
That was acceptable, so Vilette finally agreed to Akikawa's suggestion. Akikawa then smiled and said, "Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation, Your Honor."
Seeing Qiuhe's outstretched hand, Vilette coldly replied, "It's just a matter of mutual benefit. As the Grand Inquisitor of Fontaine, I will not cooperate with the Fools."
"I hope you'll be mindful of your stance," Qiuhe thought. Sure enough, Vilette was still the same old-fashioned person, even after he told her he wasn't a member of the Fools' Clan.
But still bothered by being part of the Fools, Akikawa didn't say anything more, withdrew her hand, and left Vilette's office.
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Sedna carrying a stack of documents. Just as he was about to knock, Akikawa saw that it was Sedna and greeted her with a smile.
Finally, he left the office and went to Funina's room. "Knock, knock, knock," came the knocking at the door. Funina, who had just finished dressing,...
The door opened, and there stood Qiuhe. "Hmm? Qiuhe, is something the matter?" Seeing Funina,
Qiuhe smiled and said, "Of course I'm here to thank the great Water God for his help yesterday. Thanks to your help..."
"Only then could I give Navia a proper explanation," Funina said proudly upon hearing this. "Hmph, after all, they are all subjects of this water god."
"Of course I should be more considerate of my people. Besides, I only helped you because we're friends," Qiuhe said upon hearing this.
"So of course I am today! Thank you, Water God! It's only morning, you probably haven't eaten yet, right? How about we go out for something nice to eat?"
Upon hearing that she was being taken out for a nice meal, Funina immediately became interested and eventually followed Qiuhe outside. As they passed Villette's office...
Qiuhe suddenly knocked on the office door. Hearing the knock, Vilette said, "Come in." The door was pushed open.
Navelette then saw Qiuhe leading Funina by the door. Seeing this, Navelette was somewhat surprised. Qiuhe then spoke with a sneer:
"I've come specifically to inform Your Honor that I've taken the Water God to dinner; after all, I'm just a nobody."
"You took the Water God away from Mo Mang Palace without permission, so I should have informed you, right?" Seeing Qiu He's expression, Vilette didn't bother to pay him any more attention.
Now that she knew he and Funina were friends, she didn't care what he did; she couldn't be bothered with it anymore. Meanwhile, Qiuhe's eyes caught sight of the documents on the desk.
The top of the document read "Serial Missing Girl Case." Upon seeing this, Qiuhe said, "Mr. Villette, I can also help you solve the case on your desk."
"But the premise is whether you can pay a comparable price," Qiuhe said, and then left Momang Palace with Funina.
After hearing Qiuhe's words, Vilette frowned, while Funina, walking towards the cake shop, asked Qiuhe beside her:
"Qiuhe, is what you just told Vilette true? That you can also find the mastermind behind the serial disappearances of young girls?"
After hearing this, Qiuhe also spoke up: "Of course, don't forget that I know most of what happened in Teyvat, and finding the mastermind behind it all is very simple."
"It's just that there will be some danger, but," Qiuhe smiled helplessly, "if Funina wants that bad guy to be caught..."
Even if it's a bit dangerous, Qiuhe, I can do it," Funina initially thought so, after all, the serial disappearance of girls was no small case.
The disappearances of numerous girls have caused widespread panic among the people of Fontainebleau, and the true culprit has yet to be caught. However, the mere mention of the dangers of apprehending criminals is enough to cause alarm.
Funina then dismissed the idea, as she didn't want Qiuhe to be in danger. In the end, the two went to the cake shop together.
"Big sister, make me two servings..." Qiuhe started to say, but then suddenly remembered something. She walked to the counter and said, "..."
"Big sister, do you allow customers to make their own cakes here?" The shop manager looked bewildered upon hearing this, having run a cake shop for so long.
This is the first time I've ever heard of making a cake myself. And if you can make it yourself, why bother with cake shops? You can just buy some ingredients and make it at home.
But actually, Qiuhe had only just thought of making a special cake himself, and he didn't seem to have seen this kind of cake in this cake shop.
Finally, the shop manager agreed. Qiuhe told Funina to wait there for a while, then went to the kitchen. Funina was overjoyed to hear that Qiuhe had made the cake himself.
A little anticipation arose, and soon after, Qiuhe came out of the kitchen carrying a tray of tower-shaped cakes. Those around her, upon seeing the cakes...
Everyone turned their attention to it, because none of the people present had ever seen a cake like this before, even though the cake's design was very much in the Fontainebleau style.
Even Frynn thought the cake looked delicious, and this was the very cake that Qiuhe had made while playing Genshin Impact.
After Genshin Impact's 5th anniversary, the official team gifted players a Fontaine-themed anniversary cake. After taking a bite, Fynne's eyes lit up.
"Wow, oh my god, it's so delicious~" Seeing Funina's blissful expression, Qiuhe knew that the cake looked like a success.
At this moment, the shop manager came to Qiuhe's side and asked, "Little brother, who taught you to make this cake?" After thinking for a moment, Qiuhe replied:
"Oh, this? Well, actually, no one taught me how to make it. It's the result of my own continuous experimentation. I only just remembered this cake myself."
Finally, well, I was thinking of making some for my sister so she could try it, I wanted to surprise her," when she heard "sister," Funina paused for a moment.
At that moment, the shop manager looked up at Funina, who was sitting on the other side of Qiuhe River. Funina was dressed in all black, wearing a hat and sunglasses.
The people around her didn't recognize her at all, and Funinna waved to the shopkeeper in front of her as a demonstration.
The shop manager responded politely, then turned to Qiuhe and asked, "So, little brother, do you have a recipe for this cake?"
"Um, if it's convenient, could you sell it to me?" Qiuhe realized that Qiuhe wanted the cake recipe.
Finally, he agreed without much thought. After writing down the recipe and looking at the cake-making instructions, the shop manager couldn't help but admire the child's hands-on skills.
At this moment, the shop manager asked, "Young man, how many Mora are you planning to sell this for? Name your price." Qiuhe simply smiled and shook his head.
"Oh dear, I usually only make this cake for my sister. If the shop owner wants it, she can have it; no need to pay."
Hearing Qiuhe say that and seeing that somewhat cute yet very handsome face, the shop manager's heart instantly fluttered with joy.
Finally, the store manager picked Qiuhe up in his arms, exclaiming, "Really? Oh my god, thank you so much, little brother! You're so kind!"
As a token of my gratitude, I'll waive the cost of the cake ingredients and such," Qiuhe replied, expressing her thanks in return.
