Genshin Impact: This fireplace house is your graveyard.

Chapter 59 Pure Water Celebration Chapter 7

Akikawa, with a smile as warm as the spring sun, gazed at Funina, who sat regally on the high stage. Resounding applause echoed like thunder throughout the Opikley Opera House, and he shouted:

"Lady Funina, your playing is like heavenly music! Such a beautiful melody is like the song of a nightingale. Lady Funina, you are truly a fairy descended from heaven!"

As Qiuhe's voice rang out, the audience at the Opicclay Opera House erupted like flames, chanting Furnessa's name in unison. Everyone stood up in unison, and a wave of applause and cheers instantly filled the entire Opicclay Opera House.

When Claire saw Qiuhe and Peruvier return, she rushed over and hugged Peruvier like a fledgling returning to its nest. "Waaah, Peruvier, where did you go? We looked for you all afternoon and couldn't find you. Do you know how worried I was?"

Peruvier gently patted Cléviel's back and softly comforted her, "I went to find Ley just now and came back a little late. I'm sorry for making Cléviel worry."

Clover then turned her gaze to Qiuhe beside her, only to find that Qiuhe had vanished as if he had evaporated into thin air. "Pepe, where did Qiuhe go again?" Peruvieri also noticed that Qiuhe, who had been standing next to her, had disappeared again.

However, when she saw the water god who had already left the stage, she guessed where Akikawa had gone. At this moment, in the central hall of the Opiclie Opera House, Akikawa was quietly waiting for Funina.

Fu Ningna strode out from inside, looking at Qiuhe in front of her, her eyes seemed to hold a thousand unspoken words.

Qiuhe looked at Funina and a bright smile bloomed on his face. "I'm sorry, Lady Funina. I had some things to take care of with my friends, so I'm a little late. I hope you can forgive me."

Funina jogged over to Qiuhe and hugged him without hesitation. Due to the height difference, Funina had to squat down to hold him tightly in her arms.

The scene resembled an older sister joyfully embracing her younger brother. After a while, Funina stood up again, reverting to her proud expression.

"Hmph, then as punishment for your lateness, today you'll be punished by taking a walk with this water god." After that, the two wandered aimlessly along the streets outside the Opéra Garnier Opera House.

Fu Ningna held Qiuhe's hand, and at that moment it really was like an older sister leading her younger brother on a walk. "Qiuhe, how was my playing just now? How was my singing?"

Qiuhe hadn't actually heard clearly. He rushed back to the Opiclie Opera House with Peruvé in his arms, and just as he returned, Furnessa's singing ended like a nightingale's song.

"Like heavenly music, just as I said at the beginning, Fryna is like a fairy descended to earth, her voice like an angel's song." Claire and her entourage were the last to file out of the Opiclie Opera House.

She also saw Funina and Qiuhe strolling hand in hand outside. "Lei!" Qiuhe heard the call and turned around to see Clementine rushing over and hugging her tightly.

Lily, Peruvieri, Navia, and Clonid followed closely behind. "Honestly, Ley, why did you leave without saying goodbye again?"

Qiuhe casually replied, "I'm taking a walk with Lady Funina. Today is Lady Funina's birthday, and I promised to take her for a walk."

Clementine noticed Funina beside her at this moment. Looking at her up close, she found her even more beautiful and charming. Clementine wanted to talk to Funina, but she didn't know how to start the conversation.

Claire, still somewhat shy, hesitated and whispered, "Water, Water God, may I, may I take a picture with you?" Funina was taken aback at first, but quickly recovered and nodded with a smile.

After receiving permission, Claire walked straight to Fryna's side. She had even prepared a camera in advance, just for this moment.

Lily also helped Claire take photos. After taking the photos, Claire stared at Fryna with her big, jewel-like eyes, and then said:

"Um, Lady Funina, may I... hug you?" Funina agreed and gently pulled Cléviel into her arms.

Just as Lily pressed the shutter button, Claire finally mustered up her courage and gently kissed Funina's alabaster cheek. This sudden action stunned Funina.

Looking at the heartwarming scene, Qiuhe smiled inwardly, thinking how adorable they were. Claire, blushing, finally got off Funina and ran to examine the photos.

At that moment, Kares slowly returned. The instant he saw Qiuhe, his eyes suddenly blazed with fury; he even wanted to twist Qiuhe's head off.

But then he saw Funina beside him and realized that Qiuhe was walking so close to the Water God. Seeing this, he could only forcefully suppress his anger.

Qiuhe also saw Kares, but didn't say much. He had already guessed what Kares was thinking; just by looking at his eyes, he knew that Kares definitely thought he was the one who destroyed Gray River.

Kares watched as Akikawa's face twitched with anger. Akikawa, holding Funina's hand, walked past Kares without saying a word, completely ignoring him.

Then another tall figure blocked his way. Qiuhe looked up and saw it was Vilette. Qiuhe was speechless.

Carles could ignore it himself, but if he did, Vilette would definitely face obstacles when entering and leaving Fontainebleau in the future. Vilette just stared at Qiuhe without saying a word.

He sensed that Funina's fluctuating emotions seemed to stem from Qiuhe, but since her arrival, something like this had happened at Huihe, so he had no choice but to investigate.

"Ms. Funina, I have something I'd like to discuss with this young Qiuhe. Could she come with me first?" Funina was somewhat puzzled, wondering what he wanted to discuss with Qiuhe.

Qiuhe knew he had no choice but to go, and then whispered to Funina, "It's just a few small things that Vilette asked me earlier, I'm going to take care of them now. Funina, you can stay here for a while, I'll be right back."

"Oh, right, Clévioli and Peruvieri, you two stay here with Lady Funina, I'll be right back," Qiuhe said with a final smile before leaving with Vilette.

Carles knew that Navilette was going to interrogate Qiuhe, and his anger subsided slightly. The two eventually arrived at Navilette's office. "Little Qiuhe, I know that the Gray River matter is related to you."

"Although there is no evidence yet, I have already sent people to investigate. Please cooperate with the investigation and tell the truth. You can rest assured that if this matter does not involve you much, according to the juvenile protection law, I will not detain you in Mero Petersburg."

Qiuhe had no choice but to tell the truth in the end, but he still concealed the information about Ranach, because he knew that this man was still useful to him, but it wasn't the right time to use him yet.

Qiuhe finally confessed that he was an orphan of the Hearth House. Upon hearing that Qiuhe was a child of the Hearth House, Violet fell into thought and then said:

"Besides the Fools, are there any other people beneath the Grey River?" Qiuhe was about to say no, but then he remembered that Vilette had already sent people to investigate.

If it were discovered that there was a third party involved, then he would be considered to have covered it up. Even in just a few seconds of pause, Vilette noticed the change in Qiuhe's expression.

“Young Qiuhe, I have been investigating the matter of someone in Fontaine holding shares in Les. I know that besides the Fools, there must be accomplices behind this.”

"So you'd better not try to hide it." Qiuhe knew that things had come to this point and there was no way to hide it anymore, so he said casually:

“I don’t know who that person is. He was dressed in black, wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a top hat, so I couldn’t see his face at all. All I know is that he was thin.”

Navelette stared intently into Qiuhe's eyes, as if trying to see through them to uncover the secrets hidden deep within his heart, while Qiuhe's gaze was as sharp and resolute as that of a hawk.

Navelette finally sighed helplessly and told Qiuhe to wait there for a moment. Qiuhe looked at Navelette's helpless expression and secretly rejoiced, thinking that the disguise class was indeed worthwhile.

After a while, a member of the Enforcers' Court came in. "Lord Vilette, Melusin, who went to investigate at the bottom of the Grey River, found this camera and a photograph."

Navelette glanced at Qiuhe sitting opposite her and noticed that he showed no unusual expression after hearing the news before taking the photograph.

To Navelette’s surprise, there was a spot in the photograph that looked as if it had been forcibly cut out, as if some important person had been deliberately erased.

He then turned to Qiuhe and asked, "Qiuhe, could you explain to me what happened to this scratch mark?"
