Ch 395: Fontaine’s Most Wanted Criminal, Rita

“Who’s there! You scared me!”

Rita bowed slightly, apologizing.

“Sorry, I startled you, Madam Furina.

Please, by all means, invite me to New Fontaine.”

Furina was momentarily stunned. This…was this even possible?

To actually demand an invitation so boldly?

Shouldn’t this depend on the inviter’s intentions?

Oh, dear.

“Okay, I’ll definitely invite you.”

Rita’s eyes lit up upon hearing Furina’s words.

“Really! Can I really go to New Fontaine?”

Furina nodded stiffly.

“Of course, haven’t I already invited you?”

After confirming, Rita directly bowed 90 degrees to Furina.

“Thank you! You are truly magnificent! Madam Furina! You are the most beautiful, kindest, gentle, and benevolent God in this world!”

Furina felt a little embarrassed by Rita’s excessive praise.

Wasn’t this a bit too much? I’m not that great.

Furina took out her mobile phone and recorded the names of those who were going.

“Come, come, everyone who’s going, please say your names, I’ll make a list, so I can arrange seats and such.”

Upon hearing this, those who were going quickly announced their names.

Furina recorded them one by one, and after a few minutes, the list was completed.

Furina directly sent the list to Neuvillette, and left a voice message.

“Neuvillette, I’ve sent you the list of people coming to the shop for the New Opheliac Opera House opening ceremony.

Arrange it properly, tell me if you need more money.”

As soon as Furina sent the message, Neuvillette replied.

“Received, the money is definitely enough, the account balance is enough for us to build three more Fontaines.”

After reading Neuvillette’s reply, Furina hung up the phone with relief.

“Alright～Then, everyone, see you tomorrow.”

After saying this, Furina pulled Nightingale and slipped back through the portal, leaving the shop interior.

Xing watched the two leave in a hurry.

“Furina and Nightingale are truly inseparable now～”

Hu Tao said.

“They share the same hobbies, and before they basically had no friends. Now that they’ve finally met a kindred spirit, it’s bound to be like this.”

Xing smacked her lips.

“Back then, Furina hung out with us all the time, but now…sigh～”

Ye Yun glanced at Xing.

“Why does that sound strange?”

Xing chuckled and spread her hands.

“I was just sighing～

Liuyin, Hu Tao, let’s go, let’s go back to the Treehouse and play.”

Xing jumped up from the sofa and went into the Pocket Dimension with Liuyin, Hu Tao, and others.

Meanwhile, in the New Fontaine Court.

Neuvillette and Furcarus were working in their office.

Now, everything in New Fontaine was basically on track.

The amount of files they needed to process each day was much less.

Mainly, because there are fewer people.

In the whole of Fontaine, after a census, there are only just over 70,000 humans, and just over 5,000 Melusines.

Among several kingdoms, Fontaine invests the most in fertility.

Don’t ask, just know they have money. With Furina, Fontaine’s expenditure is a mere trifle.

Fontaine is currently the wealthiest among the kingdoms of New Tivat. There’s no way around it, Furina is too powerful.

The earning power of an interstellar superstar surpasses even civilizations that control several star systems.

Furcarus finished the last file and signed her approval.

This document was submitted by Linni and Linnett, siblings.

They wanted a piece of land to build a farm, to earn some money to support the children who had left Hearthsong Home.

Although Furcarus allocates funds to Linni and Linnett every month.

But the siblings didn’t want to rely on others’ support.

They had grown up, and they had the ability to take care of their younger siblings.

Furcarus put away the file and looked at Neuvillette.

“Are you finished with your work? Leosly said he’s treating us to dinner tonight; he found a really good shop.”

Neuvillette said.

“Give me a little more time, Furina sent the list of guests coming to Ye Yun’s Shop for her performance tomorrow.”

Furcarus got up and came to Neuvillette’s side.

“Let me see.”

Neuvillette put his phone on the desk, and they looked at it together.

Everything was normal at first, until they saw Rita’s name at the end, and they were instantly stunned.

“Furcarus, didn’t you tell Furina about that?”

“Neuvillette, didn’t you tell Furina about that?”

They looked at each other in shock and asked in unison.

They were silent for a few seconds, Furcarus facepalmed.

“First, get the city’s wanted posters taken down, lest Rita sees them, that would be bad.”

Neuvillette nodded wordlessly.

Not long ago, a horrific and infuriating incident occurred in the Melusine Street district of New Fontaine, specifically designed for Melusines.

A “flower thief” brazenly broke into Melusine Street, forcibly hugging, kissing, and lifting dozens of Melusines.

This incident was extremely serious and became known throughout Fontaine.

And this flower thief was Rita!

That night, Rita silently infiltrated Melusine Street and assaulted dozens of Melusines.

Later, she was subdued by Neuvillette and added to the New Fontaine blacklist.

There are cameras at every corner of New Fontaine Court; once Rita is spotted, the intelligence center will know.

Then, the guards will rush to Melusine Street as quickly as possible to protect the Melusines there.

Rita came back several times, but unfortunately, she never had the chance to enter Melusine Street and could only return disappointedly.

This explains why Rita wanted Furina to invite her so much.

She can’t go in because she’s on the blacklist.

But if Furina invites her, she can go in, right?

I’m your guest, you can’t be rude to your guests!

Neuvillette called his secretary to remove the wanted posters from the city and re-post them later.

And, notify all the Melusines to take a paid day off tomorrow and gather for protection in Melusine Street.

Furcarus thought for a moment and suggested.

“I don’t see Madam Theresa and the others on this list. I think we could invite them.

They can subdue Rita, and we don’t have to get involved, avoiding any friction.”

Neuvillette nodded.

“Okay, you go meet up with Leosly and the others first. I’ll go inform Madam Theresa and the others.”

After saying this, Neuvillette walked through the portal to find Theresa and the others in the Honkai Star Rail world.

Furcarus, on the other hand, went to meet up with Leosly and the others first, heading to the Dining Hall.

More than ten minutes later.

Theresa, Durandal, Mei, and Tesla were all speechless.

Theresa scratched her head awkwardly and said to Neuvillette.

“Sorry, Rita caused you trouble. It’s our fault for not watching her closely enough.

Don’t worry! We’ll all be there tomorrow! We will definitely keep a close eye on her, you can rest assured!”

Mei agreed.

“Yes, we’ll definitely keep a close eye on her. Don’t worry, Mr. Neuvillette.”

Neuvillette nodded slightly.

“Then I will look forward to your visit tomorrow. Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of our New Opheliac Opera House. Madam Furina will be performing, and you are all welcome to listen.”

Theresa smiled and nodded.

“Okay, Furina sings beautifully, we’ll be there.

See you tomorrow, Mr. Neuvillette.”

Seeing that the matter was settled, Neuvillette got up and left.

After Neuvillette left, Theresa was furious.

After taking over as Grandmaster, she already had so much work to do every day. If it weren’t for Mei, Bronya, and Tesla helping her, she would have been overwhelmed.

You, Rita, went and caused trouble for other people’s Melusines!

They even came to complain! I’m so mad! So mad!

Theresa looked at everyone present.

“Let’s postpone the New Canghai City opening ceremony for a day? The reason…let’s say that remnants of Honkai Beasts were discovered in outer space, and Schicksal HQ needs to eliminate them. What do you think?”

Tesla nodded.

“That’s the only way. This Rita, sigh～”

The next day arrived.

Ye Yun got up early and was watching the Ten Little Ones practicing swordsmanship in the Pocket Dimension plaza.

Each of the Ten Little Ones was assigned a small wooden sword, and Jingliu was teaching the ten children the basics of swordsmanship.

“Feel the sword in your hand, use your heart as your sword.”

The Ten Little Ones studied diligently, their little faces full of determination.

Not long after.

Xing, Liuyin, and the others woke up.

After brushing their teeth and washing their faces, they came down from the treehouse and saw the Ten Little Ones, Ye Yun, and Jingliu having their “physical education” class from afar.

Xing walked closer.

“Ye Yun, aren’t you leaving yet? Aren’t you going to Furina’s today?”

Ye Yun smiled and shook his head.

“No rush, it doesn’t start until tonight. I’ll wait for Klee and the others to finish class before taking them there.

You guys go to the shop first, Xiangling and Jixinjiang have already prepared breakfast.”

Xing, Liuyin, and the others nodded and walked towards the shop.

Arriving at the shop interior, Zhongli, Jing Yuan, and others were eating there.

To Xing’s surprise, Nahida and Collei were also there.

Xing walked to Nahida with a bowl of soy milk.

“Nahida, why are you here today?”

Nahida, elegantly eating a milky steamed bun, looked up.

“It’s you, Xing, good morning～

I heard that Furina has a concert in Fontaine today, and I thought I’d bring Collei and some Sumeru specialties to set up a stall.

Furina is an interstellar superstar, so there will be many people from other planets.

Then, I can promote our Sumeru products.

I’ve already talked to Furina about this, and she said she’s reserved a spot for me next to the supermarket in the New Opheliac Opera House.”

Xing gave a thumbs up.

“You’re amazing, Nahida, you’re good at business. I’ll go take a look later.

Not to mention, your Sumeru Mushroom Pigs are really delicious. I only have one left in my pigpen.”

Jizi was a little puzzled.

“Didn’t you raise many Small Fungus Pigs before? Why is there only one left?”

Before Xing could speak, Xiangling answered.

“That’s because Xing and the others often bring Small Fungus Pigs over late at night for me to make barbecue for them.

They said they couldn’t sleep without having a late-night snack.”

After hearing Xiangling’s explanation, Jizi broke out in a cold sweat, speechless.

“Xing, Liuyin, eat less late-night snacks, and if you do, don’t eat anything so greasy, it’s not good for your health.”

Xing and Liuyin nodded in agreement.

After a while.

Ningguang, Keqing, and Ganyu arrived at the shop.

They had the same idea as Nahida, all promoting their own products.

Later, Raiden Shogun, Yae Miko, and the Electro Archon also came, their purpose being the same – to do business.

As for Kaeya, Lisa, and Diluc from Mondstadt.

Others had already set up their stalls and had already sold several items.

Afterwards, everyone in the shop ate and helped clean up the dining table and tableware.

After cleaning up, everyone went to New Fontaine Court together.

As they were about to leave, Barbatos, Madam Ping, and the Young Master arrived in a hurry.

It turned out that Asmodeus had called them. If it weren’t for Asmodeus, Snezhnaya wouldn’t have thought of using the concert for promotion.

Asmodeus said, I’ve been worried sick about Snezhnaya, it’s too hard for me, I can’t even play a game peacefully.

Silver Wolf and Asmodeus would definitely not be going today; they planned to stay in the Treehouse playing games.

Passing through the portal, everyone arrived at the Court of Fontaine.

Furcarus personally greeted everyone.

“Good morning, everyone, welcome to Fontaine!”

Jizi, who was at the front, waved her hand.

“Long time no see, Furcarus, you never come to the train.”

Furcarus smiled.

“I’ve been busy with Fontaine matters. I’ll go to the train to hang out with you all when I’m free.

To be honest, there are so many places I want to go.

The Immortal Vessel, Pinoccone, Black Tower Space Station, and so on and so forth.”

Jizi smiled.

“Okay, I’ll take you there when the time comes.”

Furcarus happily nodded.

“Let’s do that then. Now, let me take you to the Opera Epiclese, it’s very lively there today.”

Then, Furcarus led everyone out of the Court of Fontaine and towards the Navigation Center.

New Fontaine Court retained the style of old Fontaine, building waterways to connect various islands and areas.

However, the means of transportation have changed; it is now electric boats, which can carry 1000 people and 30 tons of goods at a time.

The speed is also twice as fast as before.

Leaving the Court of Fontaine, Xing and the others’ eyes lit up.

The surrounding streets were very lively, with many tourists from other planets stopping to play.

Furcarus introduced.

“This time we sold 300,000 tickets, and we also set up a plaza outside the stadium that can accommodate about 300,000 people.

A total of 600,000 audience members. These 600,000 audience members must have tickets to enter New Tivat.

Otherwise, Fontaine Court wouldn’t be able to accommodate so many people.”

Barbatos was envious of Furcarus’s introduction.

If there were no restrictions, there would probably be at least one or two million tourists.

Just those tourists alone would bring so much income to Fontaine～
