"Ahh~ It's finally done. Time to relax properly!"
Walking out of the Fontaine Film Association's main entrance, Navia couldn't help stretching with a big, satisfying yawn.
She didn't care at all about maintaining her image as a proper lady and young mistress.
Clorinde beside her rarely showed agreement, because she too was both physically and mentally exhausted.
As for why, one would have to ask Mu Yang about that.
It was all Mu Yang's fault, making the two ladies work overtime every day until they were exhausted, with sore backs and aching waists!
Of course, that was only a joke.
The two of them couldn't thank Mu Yang enough.
Although performing the feeling of Infernal Affairs was very difficult, even for the two of them who often played role-playing tabletop games, the plot was truly impeccable.
Moreover, after handing over the script, that guy Mu Yang had run straight back to Chenyu Vale.
Whenever Navia and Clorinde encountered something they didn't understand, they could only figure it out themselves.
This made the filming process full of difficulties.
Fortunately, they were not fighting alone.
After all, the Spina di Rosula was a large organization with all kinds of people inside.
In addition, the Court of Fontaine, which provided them with the filming locations, had read the script and also wanted to make an appearance.
The shooting process went relatively smoothly.
It was just hard on the two lead actresses. As the pillars of the production, they had to follow up on everything from start to finish.
So saying that Mu Yang had worn the two of them out was not wrong at all.
Today, the two finally completed all the work on the film Infernal Affairs (Condensed Version) and submitted it.
They deserved a proper break.
As for ways to relax, Clorinde actually didn't have many choices.
It was either attending tea parties and salons, or going to the [Tabletop Troupe] near the salon.
Otherwise, it was maintaining her weapons at home.
However, the last option was clearly something Navia would never agree to.
The young mistress of the Spina di Rosula had "hyperactivity" and a lively, energetic personality.
Wiping weapons in a stuffy room could not be considered relaxing.
As for the Tabletop Troupe, the two looked at each other and both saw the same two words in each other's eyes — mentally exhausted.
Having just finished acting as undercover agents, they really didn't want to perform anymore.
That left only the ladies' tea party.
"Let's go."
A few minutes later, the two passed by the lively square.
"Isn't that Mu Yang?"
Navia looked in the direction Clorinde pointed.
It really was!
Great, now that they had caught him, he had to treat them to afternoon tea today, right?
Clorinde quickly pulled her impulsive friend back.
As a Marechaussee Hunter, sharp observation was also a necessary practice.
"Are you sure it's appropriate to rush over so excitedly?"
Only then did Navia calm down and observe carefully.
It turned out Mu Yang was not shopping alone at all.
Although he appeared solitary, he had been interacting the whole time with that pink-haired girl.
Besides that, there was also the purple-haired beauty who kept popping desserts into her mouth nonstop.
"What the… so he's on a date… Then we shouldn't disturb him."
Navia turned her head directly and walked toward the salon.
She didn't even wait for Clorinde behind her.
Although Clorinde had never been in a relationship, she had seen plenty.
Had her childhood friend already secretly fallen for Mu Yang?
Looking at the two girls beside Mu Yang — one with seductive, silky eyes and the other with an alluring figure.
It was difficult.
"Wait for me…"
On the other side, what exactly was going on with Mu Yang?
Of course, one had to start from a long, long time ago…
Let's begin with Xinyan's—no, from Xilonen's gem order.
Although Mu Yang had always maintained a lukewarm attitude toward the Guuji (mainly because this scummy fox spoke nine lies out of ten sentences, making it too tiring to interact with her).
But they were still friends who had known each other for so many years.
Her gift naturally had to be present.
Ei didn't need to be mentioned — they had become friends through fighting.
The two of them shared a friendship worth dying for.
Of course, it was Mu Yang's life on the line.
Xilonen's gem order included gifts for these two.
What Kirara had delivered earlier was exactly this.
And so, Inazuma's Electro Archon and the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine had crossed the ocean to come find Mu Yang for fun.
"How about it? Are you moved?" The first thing Yae Miko said after stepping off the patrol ship was this.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."
Mu Yang felt somewhat speechless.
Who sends a letter saying they're coming and then immediately sets off?
The letter hadn't even been opened yet and the person was already about to dock. How was he supposed to play along?
And this was exactly the result Yae Miko wanted.
Mu Yang always liked to plan everything.
Catching him off guard was what made it interesting.
Mu Yang really hadn't expected Ei and Yae Miko to come.
In the original 4.3 script, only the Kamisato siblings and Yoimiya were supposed to come.
Ayato was coming to discuss cultural exchange.
He would then go to the Palais Mermonia to talk official business with Neuvillette.
Who could have predicted this!
If they had come under the guise of a private cultural exchange visit, Mu Yang could still understand.
But they weren't.
They were simply here to hang out with Mu Yang.
As Mu Yang's relationships with more and more people in Teyvat deepened.
Things seemed to have begun slipping out of his complete control.
Especially a character like Yae Miko.
She never played by the rules.
Fortunately, Mu Yang's own story quest was written by himself and would definitely happen.
Otherwise, he was genuinely a little worried that someone would come to "cause trouble."
"Want to comment on the gift you sent yourself?"
Yae Miko showed her right ear.
What used to be an ordinary earring had now been replaced with Mu Yang's gift.
"It suits you very well. Ei's too."
Ei reached up to touch the hairpin in her hair. "Thank you. I like it very much."
It was clear she really did like it.
Her outfit today didn't look like something Yae Miko had chosen for her.
It seemed like she had matched it herself to go with the hairpin and this new hairstyle.
This version of Ei gave off the elegant charm of a classical beauty, yet from her overall temperament, she still retained her imposing dignity.
However, praising one's own gift to someone's face always felt a bit like forced flattery.
So Mu Yang couldn't bring himself to say those complimentary words.
"Want to hear the story behind this outfit?"
Yae Miko leaned in close. She didn't care about the distance between them at all.
Rather, she enjoyed doing this.
She enjoyed making others misunderstand.
As for when these actions were sincere and when they were just performance.
Probably only she herself knew.
Before Mu Yang could answer, Ei gave her a look full of intimidation.
"Yae, do you know what the best advantage of this outfit is?"
"Tell me."
"It allows me to draw my blade especially fast."
Yae Miko symbolically hid behind Mu Yang's side and casually linked arms with him.
What is a true expert? This is what a true expert looks like.
The handsome man and beautiful women playfully walked out of the station.
Only the single men waiting for the ship shed envious and jealous tears.
"Please, just leave already! If you don't go I'm going to jump!"
"Why isn't it me getting close with them! Is it because I'm not as handsome as the white-haired guy?"
"Who said this fruit is sweet? This fruit is way too sour!"
