Chapter 379

Outside the window are stars all over the sky.

The bright moonlight shines through the window into the room, and the girl with confusion and shyness sits with her knees hugged.

She puts her chin between her two knees and thinks seriously.

She clearly knows her feelings.

From the initial respect, it slowly turned into worship, finally becoming a little bit of liking, and then this liking began to gradually enlarge.

Until now.

This emotion was no longer in a budding state, but had grown into a towering tree.

It's just that Gu Chen's attitude remained unclear.

Just as Yae Miko said, he was neither proactive nor did he express rejection.

"What exactly does he mean...?"

Furina didn't understand.

Even though he had already seen through her, he still didn't show anything.

If he really disliked her, he should have expressed rejection, but he clearly didn't have any intention of rejecting her.

Furina patted her head, looking at the bright moon outside the window, somewhat dazed.

The wives of the sect leader were all in a group giving her ideas, which undoubtedly gave her a shot in the arm.

But this suddenly increased confidence was still not enough to carry out the bad idea given by Sister Sister Sister Sister Sister Guizhong.

At least for now, she still couldn't make such a choice.

It was really somewhat...

"Oh my, so annoying..."

Furina lifted the quilt to cover herself.

Anyway, there was still a whole day tomorrow, she should still have a chance, right?

[Paimon]: Why did Furina stop talking?

[Yae Miko]: Maybe she really went to burrow into the quilt. (Yae Miko? Smirking)

[Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli]: From a generally rational point of view, it feels unlikely. People usually have a fluke mentality until the last moment. Maybe she will only make up her mind when the sect leader is about to leave Fontaine. (Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli? Drinking tea)

[Lumine]: In short, the strategist has already given the plan, whether to implement it or not depends on herself.

[Paimon]: Play cards, play cards!

[Venti]: @[Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli] @[Azhdaha] Come here quickly to play cards with me, whoever loses tomorrow pays for the treat!

[Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli]: No money, hiding.

[Azhdaha]: Fell asleep. (Snore snore)

……

The next day.

After breakfast.

Neuvillette's office.

27 "The notifications have all been sent out. The Opéra Epiclese will definitely be overcrowded today, so be sure to pay attention to safety issues."

"Notify everyone more in the ordinary group chat, don't go to the opera house anymore, you can also watch the live broadcast online."

"Also, is Miss Furina awake?"

Neuvillette asked.

A Melusine named Sedene shook her head: "Probably not, should I go call her?"

"No rush then." Neuvillette shook his head.

Gu Chen glanced at the time; it wasn't even seven o'clock yet.

Ten o'clock was the so-called official procedure, where Furina would officially step down as Hydro Archon and hand over all affairs to Neuvillette.

Then there would be Lyney's magic show and programs prepared by various troupes.

Today could be described as grand; at least in the history of the opera house, there had never been a situation where all the time was filled up like today.

Gu Chen also expressed great anticipation; for him, this was probably like watching the Spring Festival Gala on the spot, and these programs were the kind that people looked forward to.

Time reached eight-thirty.

Furina, who was sleeping in, was woken up.

After a hurried breakfast, Gu Chen, Focalors, Furina, and Neuvillette boarded the aquabus.

They needed to go to the opera house early to prepare, and Neuvillette started speeding the boat again.

After arriving at the opera house, it was indeed overcrowded.

"Miss Furina, you still need to go backstage to prepare." Neuvillette reminded.

Furina yawned and said: "Got it, got it!"

Entering the opera house through a special passage, the opera house was very quiet.

Seeing everyone arrive, Lyney waved and said: "We are fully prepared on our side!"

"Good." Neuvillette nodded.

Focalors smiled and said: "Furina is the opening act, hurry up and prepare~"

Furina went backstage to get busy, although it wasn't actually her who was busy.

And Gu Chen had already been taken to the VIP seats by Neuvillette.

The VIP seats were high up, a distance from the stage, just right for watching the performance.

Arriving at the seats and sitting down, Gu Chen looked around and saw many familiar faces.

Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli, Venti, Azhdaha, Arlecchino, and others were all extraordinary existences, so naturally, they could enter in advance through the special passage.

After nodding and greeting, the area below soon became lively, and the people of Fontaine began to enter.

Gu Chen saw several Gardes standing in specific positions below and near the VIP seats; they should be responsible for live streaming to the ordinary group.

Neuvillette sat in the middle, the best angle, to live stream to the Transcendental Group Chat.

From the Sustainer down to the commoners, everyone was considered.

[Transcendental Group Chat]

[Paimon]: This time it's really exceptionally grand, all Fontaine people are looking forward to it, and people from the six nations of the world are also watching through the live broadcast. I wonder if Furina will be nervous? (Worried)

[His Royal Highness]: Even the Abyss Order is watching.

[Enjou (that Pyro Abyss Lector from Enkanomiya)]: Starting at ten o'clock, right? Already starting to look forward to it.

[Furina]: Heh heh, I won't be nervous. (Paimon? A piece of cake)

[Charlotte]: On the scene! The gorgeous and grand finale of Lady Furina, the Hydro Archon, is about to begin! Any chance to find Lady Furina for an exclusive interview later? (Venti? Expectant starry eyes)

Exclusive interview?

Wouldn't that delay some time?

Furina knew very well that today was the last day, and she didn't seem to have any time to waste, so she politely declined Charlotte's exclusive interview.

[Furina]: Let's talk about it tomorrow. Also, I'm going on stage in five minutes. I said I wasn't nervous... but the whole of Teyvat can see, so I'm still a little bit nervous, just a little bit!

[Dori]: After a while, you won't be a big Fontaine star anymore, but a big Teyvat star! I don't even dare to imagine how much I'd earn if I sold products endorsed by Miss Furina! (Mona? It's Mora)

[Paimon]: A wave of getting rich!

[Gu Chen]: It's starting.

The lights in the auditorium went out, and only the spotlight on the stage was bright.

The curtain slowly opened, and Furina's figure appeared under the gaze of countless eyes.

Looking at the pairs of expectant eyes, Furina herself felt somewhat emotional.

If it developed according to the original trajectory, her own finale should be lonely, right?

Fortunately, she had already deviated from the original trajectory.

Now, this gorgeous and grand finale belongs to her!

"Welcome to the Opéra Epiclese!"

Furina spoke, and at this moment she became that version of herself playing the Hydro Archon again.

Her voice was high-pitched, and every move was full of the majesty and arrogance of a god.

Immediately after, her temperament changed drastically.

The radiance of the god seemed to fade from her body, and all that remained was Furina, a human girl.

The spotlight enveloped Furina.

She was not afraid, did not feel any sense of being watched, nor did she feel any malicious gazes.

At this moment, there was only enjoyment, only relaxation.

She did not give a speech like when she first took the stage to announce she was the Hydro Archon, but instead danced lightly, silently telling her own story.

The audience below watched all this and silently sent their blessings.

The Hydro Archon Furina had become a thing of the past, but the big star Furina still existed, so there was no need to be sad, just bless this girl who carried loneliness and pain.

[Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli]: From a generally rational point of view, the emotion contained in the dance is more powerful than words!
