Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

Upon hearing this, Navia covered her mouth slightly and looked at Su Hao with a rather shocked expression.

In Fontainebleau, everyone knows Chiori's fashion philosophy; she is undoubtedly a top figure in the industry.

Anyone who has worn her designs will give her a thumbs up, even though Chiori has a bit of a strange temper and isn't particularly nice to customers.

However, her bad attitude towards customers was entirely because some people liked to cause trouble and did not follow the rules of Chiori-ya, which directly angered her!

Putting these issues aside, Chizuki is indeed a top-tier presence in the fashion world of Fontaine, and even on the continent of Teyvat.

She actually said that Su Hao's understanding of fashion and clothing was superior to hers?!

Navia had always thought of her as a "friend" as a kind old lady.

Given Chiori's personality, it's perfectly reasonable for her to form a close friendship with a kind old lady despite their age difference.

But now, the friend Chiori mentioned is actually Su Hao.

Navia suddenly calmed down, as if this was nothing to be surprised about.

You have to understand that Su Hao is not even twenty years old yet, but he has been designated by the Thunder General as the next Thunder God. No matter what he does, it seems perfectly reasonable.

"~~~"

Su Hao looked at Qianzhi with a rather subtle expression.

Because he grasped the key point: Chiori had never revealed his name in Fontainebleau.

Sigh~ In the end, the feelings have faded~ Chiori once told me that once her Chiori-ya became famous, she would definitely help me out.

He wanted to restore the Inazuma Su family to its former glory, but now they don't even mention him anymore.

"..." Chiori seemed to notice Su Hao's expression and said with a slight retort, "I would like to mention your name, but my Chiori-ya has only recently become famous, and you have already become a member of the Thunder God's Familiar. How could I dare to mention your name?"

Chihiro was also helpless. Having a friend like Su Hao was, in a sense, quite stressful.

P.S.: "I will update more frequently, but my writing condition has been pretty bad lately. I'm thinking about how to proceed with the plot, so I apologize!!!!"

Chapter 534 Chiori's Reminder

Chiori was helpless. It wasn't that she had forgotten Su Hao, but rather that her friend's rise to prominence was simply too rapid.

It's important to know that Chiori's journey to Fontainebleau wasn't smooth sailing either. After arriving in Fontainebleau, she encountered various setbacks due to a variety of events.

It wasn't until about two years ago that Chiori slowly began to gain a foothold in Fontainebleau, and then about six months later, her Chiori-ya began to rise.

Just as Chiori-ya was rising to prominence, Chiori naturally did not forget Su Hao, but just as she was about to speak...

Su Hao gave her a pleasant surprise instead. News came from Inazuma that, in addition to Yae no Miko, Inazuma had gained another openly known member of the Thunder God's family.

Subsequently, Su Hao achieved a series of victories over the next year, first rising from a member of Thor's retinue to become the next Thor.

Later, he became the acting Grass God, and then the acting Rock God.

To be honest, Qianzhi doesn't dare to tell outsiders that she is Su Hao's friend.

Because once you say it out loud, not only will others question you, but a whole bunch of people who hear about it will also take the opportunity to try and curry favor with you.

After all... everyone knows very well what Su Hao's identity and status are! Countless people want to get in touch with him.

Even if you can't get involved with him, you should at least get involved with people he knows, right?

For this reason, when Chiori learned that Su Hao's status had risen to a high level, she silently chose to remain silent and did not mention his existence in Fontainebleau.

"At least it shouldn't be difficult for you to contact me, right?" Su Hao raised an eyebrow, appearing somewhat 'aggressive'.

This made Chiori's gaze somewhat subtle, as if she didn't know what to say for a moment. In the end, she raised her hands in surrender and said, "Okay, okay, I was wrong."

"As payment, I'll design three outfits for you for free, and I'll provide all the materials."

In fact, Chiori could explain why she wasn't contacting Su Hao. It was simply because she had learned through Kira and Yomiya that Su Hao was traveling to various countries and was extremely busy after becoming a member of the Thunder God's Familiar.

Later, after he became the next Thor, he went to Liyue and Sumeru.

Seeing that Su Hao was busy, how could Qianzhi possibly contact him? Knowing Su Hao as she did, she knew that if she told him she was in Fengdan, he would definitely come looking for her.

By then, I'll probably be able to keep my identity as Su Hao's friend a secret from others.

Chiori likes to be high-profile when it comes to fashion, and she wants everyone in Teyvat to know about her taste, but apart from that, she prefers to keep a low profile in everything else.

“Okay, it’s a deal.” Su Hao readily agreed. He could tell from Navia’s clothes that Chiori was even better at making clothes than she was during Inazuma’s time.

So asking her to help design the materials for three garments is a sure win!

"You're still the same old you, taking whatever benefits you see." Qianzhi's beautiful face lit up with a smile again when she saw Su Hao readily agree.

Because this is the Su Hao she knows; he'll take any free benefit without hesitation.

In his words, it's like... why not take advantage of a freebie?

Even now, Chiori doesn't understand what the phrase "freebie" means.

But Su Hao had a special fondness for things that were "free".

Therefore, Chiori said those words to tell Su Hao not to dwell on why she hadn't contacted him for the past few years.

"That's right." Su Hao naturally didn't hide his personality, and of course, he didn't take advantage of just anyone.

Back then, the lady, the doctor, Tartaglia, and even the servants now all let Su Hao take advantage of them for free.

But Su Hao refused to take advantage of them for free, because their "free" wasn't truly free, and who knew what price he might have to pay in the future.

"This isn't the place to talk, please come in."

Chiori didn't intend to talk to Su Hao and the others here. She took down the sign and then invited everyone into Chiori's house.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you." Su Hao didn't stand on ceremony and followed Qianzhi into Qianzhi's house.

Ella and Black Ella followed Su Hao inside.

Navia followed them inside, but before going in, she put away her parasol.

Upon arriving at Chiori's house, Chiori first invited everyone to sit down, and then asked them what they would like to drink.

But both Su Hao and Navia were very easygoing, saying that any tea would be fine.

Therefore, Chiori brewed a pot of good tea for everyone and prepared some desserts, and everyone sat down together.

"What were you talking about just now? Can I listen?"

Chiori asked directly, as she had just witnessed Su Hao and Navia talking for a while.

"It's nothing serious." Su Hao didn't think there was any problem and briefly explained the topic of their conversation.

Chiori listened attentively, then looked at Navia with a rather subtle expression, seemingly unsure of what to say for a moment.

Chiori was well aware that Navia wanted to solve the "serial disappearances of girls" case, as they were good friends.

Navia's father, in order to resolve this matter, suddenly went from being the highly respected president of the Rose Society to a murderer.

Anyone who knows Navia's father even slightly would think that the incident was a premeditated frame-up.

But there was nothing they could do; all the witnesses and evidence pointed to Navia's father, and Fontaine couldn't overturn the case based on emotions alone.

In addition, Navia's father didn't say anything at the time, only stating that he hadn't committed a crime, and then stubbornly argued with the duel agent.

In the end, he stubbornly killed himself.

But... now Navia actually wants to ask Su Hao to do this.

Isn't this a bit inappropriate?

Because in the end, Su Hao is Inazuma's next Thor. You're asking Inazuma's next Thor to help you investigate cases?

Putting aside whether this is making a mountain out of a molehill or using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, the real issue is that you sent Inazuma Raigami to Fontaine to investigate the case.

Isn't this a bit presumptuous? If the water goddess Funina and the high judge Navilette know about this, won't they say anything?

Seeing Chiori's somewhat strange expression, Navia asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Chiori? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing." Chiori shook her head slightly and said, "I just think we shouldn't discuss such serious matters today."

"Today is the day I'm spending time with Su Hao, so how about we talk about something lighter?"

Clearly, Chiori was consciously guiding the conversation.

Navia agreed, and she didn't want to continue the topic, because she was afraid that Su Hao would feel disgusted if she talked about it too much.

The subsequent chat consisted more of everyday topics, such as what Su Hao was doing in Fontainebleau, what Qianzhi's plans were for the upcoming fashion show, and how Navia's Thorn Rose organization intended to develop.

In this casual conversation, Su Hao gained some understanding of Navia and realized that she was a warm-hearted and kind girl.

After about an hour of conversation, the butler whispered a few words to Navia.

Navia then stood up with a reluctant expression, indicating that the Rose Society still had things to do and she couldn't stay there for too long.

Chiori said it was fine, and that the other party could come over again when they had time.

Su Hao also said that if possible next time, he would personally visit Navia, because he had suddenly become interested in the Thorn Rose Society.

Although Su Hao still believes the other party is a gang, it's better to see for yourself.

And so, Navia and the other two said their goodbyes and went about their own business.

After Navia left, only Su Hao, Ella, Black Ella, and Chiori remained in Chiori's house.

"By the way, why did you interrupt Navia just now?" Su Hao looked at Qianzhi with some curiosity. Given her personality, she shouldn't have interrupted someone like that.

This time, she unusually interrupted Navia, preventing her from continuing to talk about her father.

“This matter is not easy to handle.” Qianzhi looked at Su Hao calmly and said, “In addition, I am afraid that because of my relationship with you, you will directly help Navia, which will lead to even bigger trouble.”

"No matter what, Su Hao, you are now the next Thor. You represent Inazuma and cannot interfere in certain matters at will."

As a friend, Chiori is willing to help Navia unconditionally.

But as a native of Inazuma, even though Chiori has left Inazuma, it is her hometown, and how could she just let it go?

Furthermore... Qianzhi and Su Hao have a very good relationship. If it weren't for him, she probably would have had to endure for a longer period of time before she could walk down this fashion path.

So Chiori deliberately changed the subject during the chat and stopped discussing the matter.

Why is it difficult to handle?

Su Hao was a little curious and didn't quite understand the matter, because Navia hadn't actually explained it in detail.

Ella and Black Ella both looked at Chiori at the same time, knowing Chiori's personality and temperament.
