Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Chapter 109 Barbecue Party

"I almost forgot, I can't grow up anymore..."

"However, I'll be able to see you all grown up,"

"That's really great."

"Goodbye."

"Yes, see you in the next life."

……

Half an hour later, Mu Feng watched as Clementine and Elodie, who had just opened the novel, went from being excited to silent, and then to incredulously flipping through the ending, their expressions quite strange.

That expression looked like... he was trying to suppress a laugh.

Although he, Mu, had received strict training and generally didn't laugh, he still had a hard time holding it in!

The knife that stabbed him in the heart during the Servant Legend quest has finally been returned to the lead actor with a Thomas spin. As expected, karma is a cycle, and retribution is inevitable. Don't you agree, Claire?

Cry, all of you cry your hearts out! If Fontaine ever issues a high-temperature warning, he'll rewrite the Legend of Navelette and deliver the quest to Mumang Palace!

"Waaah... What kind of sunny, warm, and positive novel is this... This author is... is a scoundrel!"

Because the story abruptly ended, Clementine, unwilling to accept the fate, searched for the ending to no avail. While wiping away tears, she offered a harmless condemnation of a certain unscrupulous author.

"Yes, Clementine is right. Such heinous acts must be severely condemned!"

Mu Feng, the instigator of all this, echoed without batting an eye, as if he weren't the man in black who secretly submitted articles to the Steambird newspaper's mailbox late at night.

He never manufactures knives; he's just a knife transporter. In short, it's all about con artists!

But then again, what does the fact that light novel author Mi never fools people have to do with Mu Feng, the manager of Maple Dew Cafe?

"Hmm... although the names are different, it sounds a lot like the story of our Hearth House..."

After calming down, Elodie secretly rubbed her eyes, propping up her chubby cheeks with a thoughtful expression.

"Ahem, we can discuss that novel later, but the barbecue party is about to begin."

Worried that the perceptive young singer might discover the truth, Mu Feng subtly changed the subject, quickly pulling Elodie and Clementine, who were still engrossed in the story, away from the office.

[Host, I have to express my sincere admiration for your utterly shameless and unscrupulous behavior; even Satan would have you tattooed on his back.]

The long-dormant system brother has surprisingly taken on the role of the troll, presumably because she only embezzled a small amount of Mora, while her inhuman host has much more to consider.

"Thank you for the compliment, we're in the same boat."

……

The courtyard of the Buffati Mansion.

Barbecue parties have always been a common relaxing activity at the Fireplace House. Barbecues and conversations around a warm campfire undoubtedly provide a wonderful opportunity for children who are constantly on dangerous missions to relax.

However, today's barbecue party seemed a little different from usual, with the children's eyes filled with anticipation.

Ultimately, according to some "insiders," a mysterious VIP will be visiting today.

“Mr. Cesar, this way.”

Wearing a magician's hat, Linnie led the way for Cesar, whose blond hair was turning slightly gray, with a hint of nervousness on her face, while Linette, as always, remained expressionless beside her.

For the Linni siblings, this renowned magician, a household name in Fontainebleau, was not only an idol they once worshipped, but also, in some ways, their mentor.

For the other children in the Hearth House, Cesar's arrival undoubtedly represented joy and surprise.

Today, in the hearts of all Fontainebleau residents, the name César is synonymous with magic and miracles.

The moment the top hat disappeared from his head, a flock of white doves suddenly flew out from behind him, scattering colorful candies in the center where the children were gathered, causing a scramble and exclamations.

"Brother Mufeng, I got it!"

Clover, clutching a handful of fruit candies, squeezed through the crowd of children and stumbled as she hurried toward Mu Feng and Elodie.

"Honestly, he's still like a child."

Mu Feng skillfully straightened the girl's white headband, which had been askew from being jostled by the crowd, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"Hmph, I'm just a child."

"Steamed buns, don't you have a handle?"

Clementine, unconcerned, held Mu Feng's arm tightly and proudly offered him a sunset fruit-flavored hard candy, her lake-green eyes sparkling with lively light.

"I'm impressed, Clementine is the best."

As the sweet and sour candy entered his mouth, Mu Feng smiled, brushed aside Clementine's pink hair, and gently placed a kiss on the girl's forehead.

"Ugh... Ugh, it's all just sugar water!"

Clementine puffed out her cute cheeks and retaliated by hugging Mu Feng's arm even tighter, her beautiful eyes revealing a gentle smile.

Clementine will always be a child next to Mu Feng.

The refreshing scent of tangerines wafted from behind him. Feeling a weight on his left shoulder, Mu Feng turned his head helplessly and kissed Elodie's little face, who had somehow gotten close to him.

"Hehe, Brother Mufeng."

The girl with golden twin ponytails smiled foolishly, her light purple eyes reflecting the boy's image.

She's no longer the little girl who only cried secretly at night.

The feathers and wings she hopes for will one day weave the wings that allow her to fly into the future.

"Now—it is the proudest performance of Fontainebleau's greatest magician!"

Cesar's voice on stage drowned out the children's laughter and frolicking. Mu Feng looked up and saw Linnie and Linette, his assistants, helping the elderly magician step into the wooden box suspended in the air.

Cesar's eyes met his. The old man waved his top hat, winked at him chucklely, and then fell with the wooden crate amidst a gasp of surprise.

Unsurprisingly, Fontaine's greatest magician once again performed the magic trick he was so proud of.

Magicians are always capable of anything, but perhaps no one knows that even magicians have received a gift that is just as magical as magic itself.

"It was a pretty good performance."

Peruvelle appeared silently behind Mu Feng, her deep red dress replacing her usual sharp white executive attire.

Mu Feng, on the other hand, was already used to his father's elusive nature. He leaned back slightly and comfortably enjoyed Peruvier's lap pillow service.

"The novel is well-written."

A smile played on Peruvier's lips as she patted Mu Feng's shoulder, ruthlessly exposing his true colors.

"Ow!"

Thus, Mu Feng, caught off guard and exposed, tragically received a joint punishment from the furious Elodie and Clementine, a punishment exclusive to the Hearth House.

"Pepe, this is retaliation!"

It's just that the servant in the novel was given the persona of a widow, why are you holding such a grudge?

Clutching his aching kidney, Mu Feng protested with such indignation.

Shh...be careful the children don't see.

Peruvieri, however, wore a faint smile, completely overwhelming the depressed fellow who was fabricating stories.

She had certainly seen the story, but she thought much further ahead.

Perhaps in a world without him, this is their final fate.

Peruvieri glanced at Mu Feng, who was shivering as he faced Clementine and Elodie's "interrogation," and her bright red cross-shaped eyes revealed ease and gentleness.

However, that's no longer that important.

Because in the home they created together, his presence was always there.

"Wow."

The wind blew through the window and pulled up the curtains, causing the petals of the soft lanterns to fall quietly onto the wooden cabinet, right in front of four small dolls of different colors standing close together.

But the fire in the stove still blazed brightly.
