Seeing her like this, Villette couldn't help but sigh in her heart and said softly, "Ms. Funina, if you can prove that embracing cultural works from all over the world is actually protecting the interests of local novelists, then these two treaties are not contradictory."
Funina's eyes lit up instantly. Yes, why didn't she think of that?
Such an excellent work actually guides the direction of Fontaine's novels. "Night Stand Hospital,..." coerces nurses, so Fontaine's novelists can write about coercing gentlemen, priests, bachelors, and even female stars. Well, coercing female stars is not allowed...
Both myself and Villette were so smart that we solved this problem easily.
Hehehe, tomorrow I will go to the Oprykle Opera House to give a long speech.
The people will once again bow down to him.
Haha, I really am the Fontaine celebrity!
Chapter 98 Peace Talks Success
Fujiyan Fort, the scene of the peace talks.
The moment when Coral Palace Xinhai wrote her name in beautiful handwriting, Ueno Chiki breathed a sigh of relief. The peace talks between Kaijima and the Inazuma shogunate were finally successful.
"Ueno Chiki, can I ask you a few questions?" Coral Palace Xinhai put down the pen in her hand and asked softly. Her voice was like a clear water pond under the sun, calm and warm.
Ueno Chiki nodded, "Of course."
"If you were the priestess of the Coral Palace back then, what would you do facing such a situation?" After Coral Palace Xinhai finished speaking, she looked straight into his eyes.
Although she was asking questions, what she actually wanted to express was that Haizhi Island had no choice at that time in order to survive.
“If it were me, I would never instigate the gods to start this war that is doomed to fail. I would rather die myself.
The gods led people out of darkness and gave them space to survive.
But in order to get a better life, people took the initiative to let the gods sacrifice themselves. "Ueno Chishu said in a deep voice, his tone full of determination and resoluteness.
Hearing this, Coral Palace's expression revealed a kind of pain. She knew that what Ueno Chiki said was true.
The war was caused by the greed and selfishness of the people of Haizhi Island. In pursuit of a better life, they pushed the gods into the abyss of death.
"In fact, there was another hidden story behind the war back then. The gods knew that there would be a fatal outcome." Coral Palace Xinhai couldn't help but tell part of the truth from that year.
"But no matter what, it was an extremely wrong choice."
Ueno Chiki certainly knew that there was another hidden story behind the war between gods that year. In order to avoid the punishment of Sky Island, Oropas asked for death.
However, this has no necessary connection with launching a war. It was the constant requests of the people of Haizhi Island that made him decide to die.
"I understand. I will do my best to make Kaijima and Inazuma truly coexist peacefully and no longer have any hatred." Coral Palace Xinhai said softly.
Then, she suddenly changed the subject, "Ueno Chiki, I actually have a personal matter that I'm concerned about, and I want to ask you about it."
"Personal matters? Then go ahead and ask, but it's not convenient for me to answer questions about things that are too private." Ueno Chiki was very confused and couldn't understand why Coral Palace Xinhai suddenly became interested in his personal affairs.
"What is your relationship with the Traveler?" Coral Palace Xinhai asked seriously.
Ueno Chiki was caught off guard by this question. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, like a Pandora's box that had been opened.
Ever since he forcefully kissed Yingmei that day, his heart has undergone an earth-shaking change.
He admitted that he was attracted by Yingmei's unique charm. Her eyes were like bright stars, her smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, and her personality was irresistible to him.
She was innocent and strong, kind and just, and these qualities deeply touched him.
After a long while, he raised his head, took a deep breath, and said, "I really like her. As for my relationship with her, it has not been confirmed yet."
After hearing this, Coral Palace Xinhai felt a myriad of emotions tangled in her heart. In the end, she said nothing, but handed him a large stack of manuscripts, then got up and left.
Chiki Ueno took it and took a look, and it turned out to be the book he wrote, "Brokeback Mountain: I Was Kept by a Rich Man and I Fell in Love with This Man".
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the work of Yingmei.
........
As night falls, a faint moonlight appears on the sea. Chiki Ueno stands on the deck of the ship, feeling the cool sea breeze blowing across his cheeks.
Before his eyes was the vast expanse of ocean, with rippling waves and the stars shining brightly.
However, his mind was not on the beautiful scenery before him, but on recalling the conversation with Coral Palace Xinhai during the day.
He was clear about his own heart, but he also knew that his relationship with Yingmei would hardly have a future.
They are people from a different world.
Yingmei is a destined person, destined to be the gear that drives the world's change, just like the wind destined to blow far away.
If the wind wants to leave, how can the clouds keep it?
"You look troubled." A clear, ethereal voice came from behind him. The voice was as pleasant as a clear spring in a mountain stream, making people feel peaceful and harmonious.
Ueno Chishu did not look back, he just said lightly: "You won't understand."
"Codename Ueno Chiki, remember what I said when we first met?"
"Can not remember."
"Well, I said I can see what happened in the past. So, I also know why you are troubled." Columbia walked to his side and said in a gentle voice.
"But you can't solve my problem at all." Ueno Chiki was a little discouraged.
"I can't solve it, but the Ice Queen can help you. With your intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult to accomplish something. By then, strength and longevity won't be a problem at all."
Ueno Chiki admitted that at this moment, he was very excited. If there is a strong power and enough life, then many problems will not be a problem.
But in the end, he shook his head.
"The Faint Men are doing very wicked things."
Columbia looked thoughtful.
If measured by Chiki Ueno's values, many of the Fatui executives are indeed extremely evil.
Especially the second place player, Dottore, who is basically the ultimate anti-human. Calling him a scumbag is an insult to scumbags.
"And the Ice Queen can't give me what I want."
Columbia asked curiously, "What do you want?"
Ueno Chiki didn't say anything else, but just looked up and stared at the stars in the sky.
He wanted more than just one shining star.
Chapter 99 New Year Festival
It was almost afternoon, and the warm setting sun shone on the quiet northwest suburb of Inazuma City, giving every scene a golden edge.
In front of a slightly shabby house stood a handsome young man wearing a blue Japanese kimono.
His face was softly illuminated by the light of the setting sun, and his black hair fluttered gently in the breeze, contrasting with the afterglow of the setting sun, adding a calm and determined temperament to him.
"I'm leaving first." He said to Yingmei, Columbia and Paimon who were still playing Landlord in the house.
Yingmei glanced at him, holding the cards in her hand tighter, her lips slightly raised, with a hint of anger, and a bit of sourness in her tone: "Hmph! Then you should leave quickly. Otherwise, you will miss your date with Linghua."
Ueno Chiki could naturally hear the sourness in her words. He gave her an apologetic look and then left.
After he left, Yingmei's mind was no longer on the cards, and she was reminded by Paimon to play cards several times in a row.
"Traveler, let's set off too." Seeing her like this, Columbia said directly.
Yingmei looked down at the cards in her hand, lost interest, and threw away the cards in her hand, "Then let's go."
Only Paimon was somewhat reluctant, "Traveler, Columbia, at least finish this one. I still have two clowns and three bombs in my hand."
After hearing this, Yingmei and Columbia decided not to continue playing and got up and left.
.......
When Chiki Ueno arrived at Ganjin Island, the venue of the New Year's Festival, the setting sun had cast its last rays of light.
As night falls and the lights come on, lights of various colors light up, making the entire Ganjin Island look like a dream.
The lights twinkle like stars, shining with the stars in the night sky, as if announcing the arrival of the New Year to people.
At the exit of the New Year's festival, he saw the girl waiting for him.
She was wearing a light blue bathrobe embroidered with pink cherry blossoms. The cherry blossoms looked like real life, each one was delicate and tender.
She has a pretty face and skin as white as jade. She is like a newly blooming flower on a snowy mountain in the early morning, and as pure and beautiful as snow crystals.
Ueno Chiki just stood there, staring blankly at Kamisato Ayaka. His heart was beating, his thoughts were surging, and everything about him was trapped in this beautiful picture. He couldn't move, couldn't speak, and could only let his eyes be attracted by her, as if he was controlled by a powerful magnetic field.
Kamisato Ayaka looked at his idiotic appearance and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Qianshu, you are here."
When Ueno Chiki heard her voice, he recovered from his dementia.
"Ayaka, you are so beautiful today." His eyes kept wandering over Kamisato Ayaka.
In his previous life, although he admired her beauty through the screen, it did not bring him much shock. Now, when he was close to her in person, he truly felt that her beauty was so breathtaking and irresistible.
Kamisato Ayaka's face flushed bright red when she heard his praise. Her heart was filled with joy. She had prepared for the date tonight for a whole day. From choosing clothes to putting on makeup, she strived for perfection in every detail. Her efforts were not in vain. Ueno Chiki's praise made her feel that all her efforts were worth it.
Let's go." Kamisato Ayaka said, naturally and gently taking Ueno Chiki's arm.
At the moment of contact, he felt as if he was struck by an electric current, and the tingling sensation spread from his arm to his whole body. He tried to control his emotions, but the strange feeling made him unable to move, and he could only let Kamisato Ayaka hold his arm.
The two walked side by side towards the New Year's Festival venue.
However, what they didn't know was that all their actions were seen by Yingmei, Columbia and Paimon behind them.
Yingmei's expression was extremely complicated. The woman she liked fell in love with the man she liked, Ueno Chiki. This feeling was very subtle.
At the same time, Columbia and Paimon were also observing all this. They saw the intimate behavior of Ueno Chiki and Kamisato Ayaka, and also felt Yingmei's complicated emotions.
"Traveler, don't be sad." Paimon said gently, trying to comfort Yingmei.
However, what Paimong did not expect was that a strange smile appeared on Yingmei's face, "Sad? Why should I be sad? I like Ueno Chiki and Kamisato Ayaka. I used to worry about how to get along harmoniously with the two of them, but now I don't have to worry at all. Hahahaha."
"This, this, is true," Paimon shook her head, her mind in a mess as their complicated three-person relationship became a mess.
Columbia walked up to her and whispered, "Traveler, you can lie to me, but don't lie to yourself. Your feelings towards Kamisato Ayaka and Ueno Chiki are completely different."
Yingmei's expression drooped, and she said bitterly, "But what can I do? Kamisato Ayaka is his fiancée."
Columbia looked directly into her bright golden pupils and said, "Traveler, I can feel that his feelings for you are the deepest, no one can compare to you."
