Chapter 100: Praise Time
A project in Fontaine has reached phased completion, and this timing is particularly special.
According to engineers' analysis, the Clementine Line, which is the rail patrol ship route with the longest physical span, the most complex geographical environment and the most difficult construction to date, has been officially opened to traffic.
Although there is currently only one rail patrol ship route in the entire Fontaine, according to the plan, there are five routes for this project. The most difficult one to build has been completed, and the rest are not far away.
When the official ribbon-cutting ceremony announced the road's opening, the entire Fontaine was bathed in a festive atmosphere. Ming Chong summoned a few people to clarify the situation.
——A traditional festival in Fontainebleau to pay tribute to the water god, the Holy Night.
Ming Chong listened to different explanations several times before translating them into language he could understand. In simpler terms, it's a carnival where people wear hats instead of masks.
And it’s not a festival during the day, it’s at night.
This route was launched at the perfect time!
——I have to find a chance to sit down.
Ming Chong saw many people on the street DIYing all kinds of strange hats, so he picked up a trash can lid and put it on his head.
People passing by didn't notice anything unusual at first glance, but after a few seconds they turned back and looked at Ming Chong again.
100% return rate!
Very good, no one is more conspicuous than him.
It's fate that I came here during the festival! I'm happy and have gifts to choose from.
Wonderful——
"Sir—this gentleman—"
?
——It seems like someone is calling me?
Ming Chong turned around and saw no one. It was an illusion. When he was about to turn back and continue walking, his feet felt a little heavy.
Looking down, the fluffy police officer hugged his legs. Her ears were blue, pink and blue, and the side of her face that was pressed against Ming Chong's legs was all tucked up. She blinked, trying so hard that it seemed like she was holding her breath. "Hello, dear sir..."
!!!
Ming Chong immediately felt as if his heart was shot. What is this? What is this? What is this?
Fontaine local specialties?
I want to keep this!!!
After finally being noticed, her eyes lit up, and she slowly stepped back a few steps to a safe social distance. She raised her head, a little excited, and introduced herself seriously: "Ah, you finally noticed me, dear Mr. Tourist. I am Aibel from the Shadow Chaser Court, responsible for catching bad guys..."
"I don't mean to say that you are a bad person, I just want to remind you, sir..." As Aibel was speaking, Ming Chong pinched her cheek, leaving her no chance to react.
"You reminded me very well!" Ming Chong half-knelt solemnly, holding Aibel's fluffy face. Aibel was obviously blushing, and then she was picked up and ran away, "I am now!!!"
"Aibel————" A loud call penetrated the crowd on Fontaine Street, and many people looked sideways.
Aibel finally recovered from his surprise, "Ou, Ou Feini-senpai—"
"How dare you do this to us Meilushin in public!" Ou Feini put all the small jewelry bags in her arms on the bamboo table at the door of the store and chased after him with righteous words.
Ming Chong looked back and his eyes lit up. Wow, it's pink, and the ears are a gradient of blue and pink, just the opposite of this fluffy creature called Aibel.
He simply scooped them both up, one in each hand, and cheered, "Great! If I had known Fontaine had such cute furries, I would have come here a long time ago!"
"Senior Ou Feini, thank you for coming to save me!" Aibel rested his chin on her shoulder with emotion.
"Um..." Ou Feini leaned on the other shoulder, covering her face and unable to say anything.
In the hearts of many Fontaine people today, Melusin is an important member of life. Even the kindness of Melusin makes it easier for them to gain the love and empathy of the people of Fontaine.
Kidnapping Meilushin (?) so blatantly on the street, it's been a long time since I've seen such a pure and unpretentious ignorant person.
Perhaps Ming Chong's joyful running posture was too contagious, and the people on the street watched him for a while as if he were watching an opera, and then realized it belatedly -
"Just now... something seemed to run past?"
"Steal it from Meilushin."
"Oh, it was stolen from Meilushin..."
The two people talking looked at each other and suddenly shouted:
"WHAT?! STEALING MILUXIN!!!"
——
In the end, Ou Feini lived up to her reputation as the ace of Zhuying Court. After calming down from the humiliation of being defeated in one encounter, she quickly caught Ming Chong's flaw.
Because the characteristics of this innocent and flowery boy were so familiar, Ou Feini only needed one sentence to make Ming Chong stop running madly.
"Dear visitor, Melusin is a legal citizen of Fontaine. Your attempt to keep her captive would constitute illegal detention if we were humans."
...Change to humans?
Ming Chong lowered his head in an instant, taking a look at the two opposite-colored Melusins in his arms one by one. His lips turned flat, and he said in a look of rejection, "Don't change to humans. I have been diagnosed with anthropopathy."
Disgust, misanthropy!
Ou Feini, the most reliable of the three, was startled.
Aibel was shocked. "I've never heard of this disease before! So Mr. Tourist came to Fontaine for treatment?"
"It seems... I have heard people say that Fontaine is a big city, so the opinions are a little different..." As he spoke, Aibel scratched his head and his voice became smaller and smaller.
Then, Aibel pointed at Ming Chong's trash can hat and said, "Senior Ou Feini, why don't we help Mr. Tourist? Look, he doesn't even know how to celebrate a festival, so he definitely won't lie to us!"
Ming Chong blinked and noticed the gaze of Ou Feini, who had a two-meter-tall aura. He nodded immediately and started babbling along with Ai Beier's words, "Yeah, yeah. Just now, running with you guys on the street reminded me of my lost youth."
"..." Ou Feini didn't fall into Ming Chong's misleading logic. "On the Holy Trinity Crowning Night, girls wear their favorite hats, and boys wear their favorite gloves or wrist guards. Mr. Tourist, you should change into gloves."
What she said was simple and easy to understand, and Ming Chong understood it, but he began to argue, "But I just like wearing a hat. Wearing gloves will restrict my nature and isolate me from the intimacy of the world!"
"That's what misanthropy is like. The external definitions of me are suffocating me." Ming Chong's tone grew heavier. "If I have to make a choice, then just treat me as a girl."
Aibel became more and more shaken, and looked at Ou Feini, her eyes full of the innocence she believed.
"Senior Ou Feini..."
...So, Shadow Chaser's ace, Ou Feini, felt that Ming Chong wasn't a bad guy. The sense of déjà vu was too strong. She couldn't help but start to worry twice as much as before.
This strange tourist gentleman was a little more cunning, but not much better.
"Alright!" Ou Feini put her hands on her hips and interrupted the farce. "I understand. Leave the rest to me."
Aibel couldn't help but jump up, "Yeah!"
"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" Ming Chong and Aibel clapped their hands three times.
"...Oh, by the way, Aibel really can't go home with me?"
"No." Ou Feini quickly ended the fight.
“Ah——” ×2
"...Aibel, what are you disappointed about?"
"Oh, oh..." Aibel suddenly realized and quickly cheered up. He tiptoed slightly and patted Mingchong's arm. "It's okay. You can come to my house as a guest in the future, Mr. Tourist."
Ming Chong nodded aggrievedly, then silently covered his mouth with his hands.
——Damn it, why can’t humans raise lots and lots of Melosun?
——If only there were no legislation!!!
Law-abiding citizens wailed.
…
…
Under Ou Feini's guidance, Ming Chong obtained a formal tourist certificate and received a tour guide personally prepared by Ou Feini based on Ming Chong's oral description of the "wonderful gift" with several wonderful rhymes.
Aibel waved with a soft smile, "Have a pleasant journey! Mr. Mingchong, next time there's a chance, maybe I can show you my medal for winning the tenth consecutive championship in [Zhuyingting Full Attendance]!"
"Goodbye - goodbye -" Ming Chong felt sorry to disturb the little Meilushin from working, so he walked away reluctantly, waving and saying goodbye all the way.
And Aibel also followed him and waved and shouted "Goodbye".
"Goodbye—goodbye—"
Ou Feini leaned on her hips and sighed. She could hardly see anyone, and probably couldn't hear any sound at such a long distance. The two guys were still there saying goodbye.
It’s really a headache…
Hope everything goes well for the kid.
"Ahem..." Aibel cleared his throat and drank a few sips of water. After recovering, he couldn't wait to share with Ou Feini, "Senior Ou Feini's introduction just now was amazing. I want to tour Fontaine Hall in this order like Mr. Ming Chong when I'm ready for vacation!"
"Our off-duty shift is in the middle of the night, so we won't be able to see some performances. We can't just copy them." Ou Feini crossed her arms and thought calmly. "I'll make some adjustments when the time comes. Don't go complain to that kid."
"No! Mr. Ming Chong will probably be asleep by then! Besides, at least the magician that Senior Ou Feini just recommended will definitely be there. He said last time that he would take care of Meilushin, who is on the night shift!"
"You mean Mr. Cesar? I saw you so happy during the last Sacrament Crown Night, I thought you didn't miss the magic show. It turns out you made an appointment for this one..."
——

Among the tourist keywords that Ou Feini simply wrote, [Magic Workshop] was ranked second to last, which was the finale. The last one was Debo Hotel. She also recommended the limited edition small cakes that only locals know about and are sold late at night when Mo Mang Palace is closed.
I don’t know why Ou Feini specifically marked it as [small cake], but Ming Chong was inexplicably attracted when he saw [limited edition].
You will definitely regret not buying it once!
...As expected, in this world, there really is a sense of regret for not meeting earlier! It's true that soulmates are hard to find!
——She understands me so well! (Spreading flowers)
Following the customized tour guide, Ming Chong had a more enjoyable time. By the penultimate item, he had completely forgotten about buying gifts...
Ming Chong walked to Cesar's magic workshop and ignored a series of recommendations such as "Romantic Magician" and "Fontaine's Most Popular Magic Artist".
Watching the "magician among children" lost in thought, he suddenly realized, "...wait, why didn't Ophelia accuse me of harassing the citizens of Fontaine?"
The night wind made his head feel cool, and Ming Chong felt his mind was clear. To be honest, he initially thought that it was his charisma that was loved by everyone and made flowers bloom that won Ou Feini over.
Didn't expect it to be true?
What impressed her was his extremely pure and innocent childlike temperament (crossed out). Did Ou Feini actually fall for his innocence and gullibility?
One by one, the citizens of Fontaine, who lived below waist level, came in with their wallets, and Ming Chong thought carefully.
Now that we're here——
