Time quickly advanced to the next day.
In the morning, Alex first ran to Palais Mermonia to find Furina.
But as expected, she was nowhere to be seen again.
The Melusines said that Lady Furina hadn't even been watching operas at the Opera Epiclese recently.
Instead, she was running all over Fontaine, frequenting various dessert shops and fruit stands.
She was recommending strawberries and strawberry cakes.
It was said that the first large batch of strawberries sold yesterday was widely praised in Fontaine.
And all of Fontaine was abuzz with discussions about strawberries.
It was just that the strawberries were really, really too expensive. Commoners couldn't afford them; one strawberry was enough for two or three good meals.
Well, Alex didn't have anything major to do, so there was no need to search all over Fontaine for Furina.
Besides, he could still see his other wife.
"Oh dear~~~" Arriving at Focalors's place, Alex directly pulled up a long bench and then reclined on it in a 'Ge You' pose.
"These past two days have really exhausted me," Alex said, looking at Focalors in the distance.
Then Alex saw that the replica doll he had placed, whose posture was a stiff T-pose, had changed into a pose with its head tilted back and hands on its hips.
It seemed Focalors had found some fun in playing with the doll in his likeness.
"Why are you here again? You're not going to bring me something shocking again, are you?" Focalors put down the doll and slowly walked closer to Alex.
The gnosis of anemo from last time, when she saw it, she was truly too shocked. This young man is really amazing~! He can even get his hands on a Gnosis.
"Not yet! It's just that staying here with you, I feel much more relaxed…" Alex said, taking out his phone.
Then, during this rare moment of relaxation, Alex thought about watching some videos again: "Shen Fufu, do you want to watch?"
"Okay, but didn't you call Furina 'Shen Fufu'? How can you call me 'Shen Fufu' too? Isn't that inappropriate?" Focalors nodded in agreement, then put her hands on her hips.
Alex also nodded, then saw the allogene video page, his eyes widened, and he turned to Focalors, saying: "You have a point. Then, Divine Shen Fufu~… Divine Shen Fufu, come quickly, look what I've found."
"Hmm…" Focalors puffed out her cheeks slightly.
This title is also so strange! Hmph, if you call me that, don't blame me for being impolite.
"What have you found, Alex-hai?" Focalors said expressionlessly, gently stroking her leg before sitting next to him.
"Uh…" This time, it was Alex's turn for his mind to go blank for a moment.
What kind of childish and silly nickname is that?
Alex gently stroked his forehead: "Alex-hai, it doesn't sound good. It's better to just say Alex."
"I don't care, if you don't call me Divine Shen Fufu, I won't call you Alex-hai." Focalors turned her head away.
Alex thought for a moment, weighed it in his mind, and then said: "Alright, Divine Shen Fufu, look quickly, I didn't expect this allogene video to actually update over time!"
Well, this guy, to call her Divine Shen Fufu, he didn't even care about the nickname anymore.
What could Focalors do? If she argued again, he would probably give her a: "Okay, Divine Shen Fufu. No problem, Divine Shen Fufu."
Focalors's gaze could only fall on the phone.
She found that there were indeed a few more videos at the top now.
What, Sethos? She didn't know him, he looked like a sunny, cheerful big boy.
As for Clorinde below, she was very familiar with him.
He was a good child, and very capable.
She still remembered. When Clorinde was little~… his master dragged him to fight Dragonspine.
Focalors, through the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, had been quietly watching everyone grow up, step by step, with her divine sense.
"Look, Clorinde," Focalors said.
Then Alex, with Focalors beside him, watched several videos of Clorinde together.
"So cool!!!" Alex clapped his hands repeatedly after watching.
He didn't expect Mihoyo to make Clorinde so cool.
And he also saw that Clorinde's actual combat here was so strong; he probably wasn't even using his full strength when he fought the Hydro Tulpa with him. He's really too strong, Clorinde.
Focalors also clapped his hands, expressing his heartfelt praise: "How wonderful~!"
Subsequently, Alex, through this video, caught a glimpse of a corner of Natlan. He also discovered that going to Natlan seemed to allow one to transform into a dragon and play.
Finally, there was the content about Aether and Lumine, the siblings.
After so long, was the main story of Aether and Lumine finally going to start again?
Alex didn't understand, and looked at Focalors beside him: "Do you know the 'Loom of Fate'?"
"Don't look at me, I don't know either." Focalors shook his head slightly, making his own guess: "Fate, and the loom… Does this mean to change the world? Then their plan is truly too grand. This is to…"
At this point, Focalors fell silent.
She just thought about it; successfully deceiving everyone was already difficult enough.
This video seemed to hint at resisting the Heavenly Principles and changing the world.
She hoped she was overthinking it, otherwise… "Oh, oh, oh, indeed, indeed. I see, I understand a bit now." Hearing Focalors say that, Alex thought of what the protagonist of the Abyss had always wanted to do.
After watching, Focalors maintained a pensive expression.
It was getting late, and Alex planned to go play with Lumine.
It's really comfortable to be around the Traveler. Perhaps it's because in the game, the Traveler and Paimon are the characters who always accompany us.
"Goodbye." Seeing Alex about to leave, Focalors waved at Alex: "Have a safe journey, I'll always be here…"
Alex was touched when he heard that, and opened his arms, pressing towards Focalors.
"Hey, hey, hey~! What are you doing!" Focalors spun around, retreating several steps.
"Because what you said sounded just like a wife sending her husband off. I was so touched I wanted to give you a farewell hug," Alex said, having missed.
Focalors picked up the tablet: "You better go quickly, why doesn't a car run you over."
Focalors: ? What tablet! Be careful, I'll go out and find you.
"Don't worry, right now only I use a car here, to run over others!" Alex waved confidently, then flashed away from the spot.
Focalors stared at where Alex disappeared for a long time, then boredly went back to playing with the doll.
There have been so few trials recently, is Neuvillette not doing well? There's no new fun for him to watch!
Alright, next I should deal with… Hey, don't run!
And at this moment, Alex arrived at the familiar teleport waypoint on the roof of the Knights of Favonius headquarters.
Jumping down again, this time he actually met an acquaintance.
"You, and the Traveler. Why do you both like climbing to the roof of the Knights of Favonius so much?" Alex saw it was Kaeya!
"You'll know when you come over." Alex greeted Kaeya, and as he came over, he reached out and touched him.
Then Alex teleported him to the roof of the Knights of Favonius. And without waiting for Kaeya to say anything, he flashed again, appearing at Windrise.
Hmm, it's a new day, let's look for Blossoms of Revelation in Mondstadt again.
After Alex came to Mondstadt, he got used to farming flowers there. After all, it was much more familiar than Fontaine; everywhere was a familiar sight!
