Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Chapter 322 Clementine: Infiltrating the Enemy (Part 2)

At the corner of the alley, fruits and vegetables were scattered all over the ground, along with a cone of ice cream upside down on a pile of chubby peaches.

"Ugh...okay...huh? It doesn't seem to hurt that much?"

Clementine struggled to sit up from the ground, shook her dizzy head, and subconsciously reached out to touch her forehead.

However, the expected pain did not come as predicted.

The girl blinked belatedly, her expression somewhat blank. Did it hurt? Did the Rock King Emperor cast a shield on her?

However, when she saw the ice cream sticking to the ground, Clementine's expression immediately fell.

The saddest thing in the world is to have your first ice cream of summer served to the Teyvat ley line before you even get your hands on it.

Why doesn't Your Majesty shield her desserts too?

At that moment, Zhongli, who was watching a play in Liyue Harbor, suddenly trembled, and half of the expensive Tianheng Rock Bone in his cup spilled out.

Zhongli paused for a moment, thought seriously for a while, and then waved to the waiter to bring another cup of tea.

"From a generally rational point of view, it should be recorded in the account of the Rebirth Hall."

At the same time, the little dancer tore off the vegetable leaves hanging on her hair ornament, pouted, covered her chest, and looked aggrieved.

Ugh... I almost can't breathe! This is taking advantage of the fact that the Little Grass God doesn't know how to cast an elemental shield! She's going to protest!

Elodie, who had just arrived at the scene, sighed and glanced to the side with her pale purple eyes, giving me an expression that said, "I don't know her."

Since no one at the Hearth House could control Clementine, her best friend has finally been completely free of her true nature.

He traveled to all seven kingdoms of Teyvat, and naturally caused quite a bit of trouble, including but not limited to secretly digging up a box of cider, a gift from nature, from beneath the Windrise in Mondstadt.

During that period, cleaning up after a certain female adventurer almost became a regular activity at the Hearth House.

So much so that the children's daily greetings when they met were always about where they were going to handle the funeral arrangements.

Yes, funeral arrangements, but usually it's other people's funeral arrangements.

Even though she returned to Fontainebleau and opened Rainbow Bell Workshop in recent years, Clementine's unconventional personality hasn't changed much. Not to mention, sometimes even Pepe can't do anything about her.

In other words, they are currently using false identities to enter Sumeru; otherwise, the House of Hearths would probably be too ashamed to show their faces in the future.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, my sister was a bit reckless. As for the things she knocked down, we will compensate her for them at their original price."

Even so, Elodie reluctantly stepped forward to apologize, and as usual prepared to clean up the mess for Clementine.

In fact, their identities are fake. If this causes a dispute and attracts disciplinary officials or something, it will be a big problem.

Clementine stuck out her tongue, apologizing while blinking her large, lake-green eyes, trying to get away with being cute.

"Ah... I'm fine. Actually, it's nothing... It's just some vegetables."

Nilu hurriedly waved her hand, looking somewhat embarrassed. After all, the pink-haired girl opposite her still looked like a child, so it was normal for her to be lively, right?

In other words, Clementine had no idea what the young dancer was thinking at that moment; otherwise, the girl would most likely have blushed on the spot.

However... she seems to be a stranger. She has never seen such a beautiful girl in Sumeru City.

At least one thing is certain: they don't seem to be from within Sumeru City. However, Nil didn't dwell on it any further.

It can't be that Brother Mufeng went out for half a day and then brought back a few sisters, right? That would be too absurd.

To paraphrase the words of senior Farussan, it sounds as absurd as soaking coconut charcoal cakes in creamy mushroom soup and dipping them in spicy spice sauce.

After the misunderstanding was cleared up, the girls exchanged names. However, when Nel introduced herself, a strange look seemed to flash across Elodie's eyes, but it was fleeting.

Then, the three of them helped pick up the scattered vegetables on the ground, and soon most of the things were put back in their original places.

As for the few damaged parts, they ended up in the nearby trash can, where they might become a meal for stray cats.

"Judging from your attire, you two must be from Fontainebleau, right? It seems you're here for a trip to Sumeru?"

As they left the Grand Bazaar, carrying the remaining vegetables, Nilu blinked and asked the girl beside her curiously.

Clementine, being outspoken, spoke without hesitation:

"No, we're here to find someone."

Elodie's eyes widened, and she thought to herself, "Oh no!" She quickly gave Clementine a wink.

Clementine received the signal, blinked, lowered her head and thought carefully for a moment before drawing a conclusion.

Perhaps it's an implication that she should inquire with the locals? After all, the House of Hearths can't enter Sumeru City, and they currently know nothing about Mu Feng's current residence.

Yes, that's right, that must be it. Gathering information is her forte. The first step is to infiltrate the enemy!

Clementine gave Elodie a reassuring look, but for some reason, Elodie felt even more uneasy.

Clementine… I think… maybe… possibly… probably… I haven’t misunderstood her… right?

"Hey, Nel, have you seen this place before?"

The next moment, Clementine took out a photo from the Eye of God space and pointed to the map of Sumeru City, asking a question.

Elodie's expression changed drastically, and she tried to step forward to stop her, but Clementine's movements were too swift, and it was too late.

Nilu looked at the small villa in the photo, then at the map of Sumeru City, her gaze gradually becoming puzzled.

This place... looks familiar. Wait, if I'm not mistaken... isn't this their home?

The girl became a little wary, but she remained outwardly calm and continued to ask questions as if nothing was amiss.

"Oh, I know, that place... I heard it's the residence of a very important person. Do you two have business there?"

Clementine was immediately excited. She had only approached it with a "let's give it a try" attitude, but she didn't expect to get a lead so quickly.

Looking back at the results, Elodie's score was 3.0, and Clementine got the MVP! Elodie won by doing nothing; today, Mufeng's victory definitely belongs to Clementine!

"Yes, yes, that's it! We're looking for the owner of the villa. Do you know where he is right now... Hey, Elodie, what's wrong? Are your eyes bothering you?"

Elodie, desperately winking at Clementine, said: "Give up, forget it, I'm tired, let it all end." She didn't care anymore.

Nilu became even more wary. Was she looking for Brother Mufeng?

"Then, may I ask one more question? What is the relationship between the two of you?"

Clementine proudly declared, hands on hips: "He's my partner!"

Elodie: ...It's all over.

Nilu: ? ? ? ...!!
