Chapter 676 Free Time
It was a new day, and the sunlight, as usual, streamed through the windows into the top-floor suite of Mo Mang Palace.
Shao Yun slowly opened his eyes and habitually reached out to feel the bedside, only to find that Ying and Paimeng, who were supposed to be there, were nowhere to be seen again early in the morning.
This situation has been going on for a long time recently. Shao Yun has long been accustomed to it and must be taking risks again.
"Ah, a new day..." Shao Yun muttered as he climbed out of bed and stretched.
He walked to the window, opened the curtains, let the morning sun shine on his body, and felt the warmth.
I have to say, the lighting on the top floor of Mo Mang Palace is really good!
"I don't know if Funina has woken up yet. Let me go check on her..." Shao Yun said to himself, then turned and walked into the bathroom and started washing up.
After washing up, Shao Yun changed into his summer sharpshooter suit, opened the door and prepared to go out.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the door, he immediately saw Clorinde and Navrette standing at the door of Funina's room.
The two seemed to be talking about something. Seeing this, Shao Yun walked over curiously and asked, "Hmm? Violet? Clorinde, what are you doing at the door of Funina's bedroom?"
When Clorinde saw Shao Yun coming over, she nodded and said, "Oh, hello, Master. I am answering questions from Lord Villette."
When Villette heard Shao Yun's voice, he turned around and looked at Shao Yun with a complicated expression. After a moment of silence, he asked, "I'm asking Clorinde, where did you take Funina yesterday? What did you do?"
"Why is Ms. Funina still sleeping now? It's been a whole day and night. This is not in line with her character."
When Shao Yun heard that Funina was still sleeping, he couldn't help but wonder, "Is Funina really going to sleep until night?"
However, in order to prevent Violet from seeing his thoughts, Shao Yun pretended to be surprised and asked, "Oh, Furninna is still sleeping?"
Navilette nodded and replied, "That's true. I just checked on Funina and didn't find any signs of poisoning. She was just sleeping, which I find a little strange..."
However, compared to Villette's concern for Furninna's physical condition, Shao Yun's mind at this time was completely focused on another thing.
"That means Clorinde and I can have a day off today!" Shao Yun said excitedly.
When Villette heard Shao Yun say the word "holiday", although it felt a little abrupt, it was also reasonable.
After all, Shao Yun would definitely not care about Funina's physical condition as much as he did.
"Well... to some extent, it is true..." Villette hesitated for a moment, but still answered truthfully.
Then, Villette began to question Shao Yun, which could be considered a disguised form of reconciliation with Clorinde.
"What on earth did Funina do yesterday?"
Shao Yun told Navilette very frankly about Funina's activities yesterday, but his way of expression was completely in line with his own speaking style.
"Where else can she go? She can just hang out in Fontaine and have fun. What else can she do? Do you still expect her to unify the continent of Teyvat?"
Villette was choked by Shao Yun's words and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Thinking about it carefully, what Shao Yun said made sense. Apart from going out to play and doing things that Villette found difficult to understand, it seemed that there was really nothing more important for Funina to do.
Navilette compared Clorinde's and Shao Yun's answers and found that what they said were actually very similar.
Clorinde said that Funina went to Baisong Town yesterday and then came to her house to play tabletop theater games. This is basically the same as what Shao Yun said about running around and playing in Fontaine.
After thinking about it, Villette's doubts gradually dissipated, and he said, "Well, it seems that there is nothing wrong with Funina's itinerary yesterday."
Then, he added: "In my opinion, Fu Nina should continue to sleep, and Mo Mang Palace does not need the two of you to serve as guards... How about this, you two can take a day off today."
"I still have some official business to attend to, so I'll leave first."
When Shao Yun heard that Villette was going to handle official business again, he couldn't help but sigh: "I was actually wondering, there will never be a day when you don't have these official business..."
That Villette selectively ignored Shao Yun's complaints.
After Villette left, Clorinde began to think about how to spend this rare holiday.
"If I have a day off today, what should I do? If I go to play tabletop theater so early, there may not be anyone there..."
Just when she was hesitant, she suddenly had an idea and said to Shao Yun: "Master, why don't we take this opportunity to continue training?"
If Amber had not come to Fontaine and Navia had not found the information of the "anonymous donor", Shao Yun might have agreed to Clorinde's request.
After all, training is very important for improving strength.
However, the reality is not so. At this moment, the top priority is to protect Eula's "vest".
Shao Yun shook his head helplessly and said to Clorinde: "Sorry, I have other things to deal with. I'm afraid I can't train with you."
Seeing this, Clorinde was a little disappointed, but she didn't force it.
She smiled and said, "Okay, Master, I won't bother you for now. I'll go think of something else to do."
After saying this, Clorinde turned and left.
Shao Yun looked at Clorinde's back as she left, stretched himself again, and said to himself: "Well, since today is my free time, I will act according to yesterday's plan... prepare for Eula's affairs..."
……
Eula's apartment.
Shao Yun walked to the door with ease and raised his hand to knock gently.
After a while, the door slowly opened and Amber poked her head out from the crack.
Shao Yun looked at Amber in front of him, and a trace of curiosity surged in his heart. He asked quickly: "Amber? Where is Eula?"
When Amber saw Shao Yun coming, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he showed a bright smile and said, "Wow, Mr. Shao Yun, you are here?"
Then, Amber opened the door and waved to Shao Yun enthusiastically, indicating that he could come in for a detailed discussion.
Shao Yun walked into the room. After Amber closed the door, they walked to the sofa and sat down. Then she explained to Shao Yun, "Eula went to work."
"She wrote me a travel plan for Fontaine last night and asked me to have a good look around Fontaine. She also gave me some Mora so I could buy whatever I wanted."
"I want to bring some gifts back to everyone in the Knights. I plan to buy some Fontaine storybooks for Klee, some Fontaine fruit for Noelle, a typewriter for Captain Jean, and many other things like that."
When Shao Yun heard that Eula was not at home, he slapped his forehead helplessly and said, "Okay, I forgot that today is not the weekend. Eula has to go to work..."
Then, in order to make his trip worthwhile, Shao Yun said to Amber, "Amber, I have a small favor to ask you for."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "If Eula comes back early, please tell her that I will come to her in the evening to discuss the plan I discussed with her last night."
Amber nodded without hesitation, indicating that she agreed to Shao Yun's request.
"Okay, I know."
Then, she suddenly remembered that she still had something to ask Shao Yun, so she asked, "But, Mr. Shao Yun, I want to ask, do you know where I can buy these things I need in Fontaine?"
Shao Yun thought about it for a moment, and some shops and places in Fontaine flashed quickly through his mind.
"Well, as for books and other things, you can basically buy them as long as you find a bookstall."
"It's the same with fruit. They're sold everywhere. As for typewriters, I recommend you try your luck at the Beaumont Workshop. Maybe they'll have the model you need."
Having said that, Shao Yun paused for a moment and remembered something interesting.
He continued, "Oh, yes, and clothes. If you want to buy clothes, I highly recommend you go to Qianzhiya."
"However, there is one thing you should pay special attention to. If you go to Chiori-ya and find that there is no one in the house, but the store is still open, you can go to the bathroom and ask. Maybe the clerk is using the bathroom inside."
The reason why Shao Yun specifically mentioned Qianzhiwu was because he himself had suffered a loss there before... But a girl as full of energy as Amber would never be considered a bad person...
After listening to Shao Yun's instructions, Amber nodded in gratitude.
"Oh, that's very detailed, thank you!"
……
On the other side, Baisong Town.
Shao Yun came to find Navia by boat.
The construction sites in Baisong Town are now undergoing changes visible to the naked eye every day.
On the construction site, construction workers were busy shuttling back and forth, various large machines were roaring, and the whole scene was bustling with activity.
Shao Yun stood on the shore, looking at the busy scene, and said to himself: "Let me see, where is Navia?"
He looked around and began to find the familiar figure.
Just as he was thinking about who to stop to ask about Navia's whereabouts, suddenly, that passionate voice reached his ears.
"When you're taking a break, don't forget to drink lemonade. There's no limit to the amount!"
Hearing the sound, the workers cheered and looked towards the source of the sound.
Shao Yun also looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw Navia not far away holding a small flag, wearing a safety helmet, and cheering everyone on with a smile on her face.
"Okay, I see." Shao Yun said to himself.
He hurried forward, waving his hands and calling out, "Navia!"
