Yes, Lady Funina!

“But I promised Mr. Abedo that I would take good care of little Cleo. If I stay here, I won’t be able to explain it to Mr. Abedo.”

"Ah..." Klee's face showed disappointment. Despite her disappointment, being a good girl, she still kindly said:

"Well... alright then, I'll go back with Yae no Miko-nee."

Seeing the dejected Klee, Yae no Miko seemed to feel a pang of pity. After thinking for a moment, she said:

"How about this, since Little Keli really wants to stay here, I'll stay here for the night too, so it won't be considered that I broke my promise."

Your scheme is so cunning I could hear it all the way in Fontainebleau.

Richard looked at Klee, who was smiling through her tears, but ultimately did not expose Yae no Miko's conspiracy.

Klee, you think your sister Yae no Miko is thinking of you, but actually she's lusting after your brother's body.

The world of adult foxes is far too filthy. Out of concern for Klee, Richard decides to silently take on everything, but as a form of retribution for Yae no Miko's scheming against him.

Tonight, we must subdue the demon and the fox.

"Richard-nii~ There should still be some empty seats, right?" Yae no Miko said to Richard with a bright smile, mimicking Klee's tone.

“Of course there is.” Richard knew that he had no way of getting rid of the other party, nor was there any need to do so.

Although it is called the Fontaine Embassy, ​​theoretically the area where the embassy is located is considered to be the territory of Fontaine, but it is only considered to be, not that the Fontaine Embassy in Inazuma Castle is the territory of Fontaine.

Legally speaking, this is still Inazuma territory, and as the retinue of Narukami, the actual controller of Inazuma, the Fontaine embassy has no reason to offend this local tyrant on this small plot of land.

Moreover, strictly speaking, Yae no Miko is also a family member of the Fontaine's diplomatic envoys, so naturally, accommodation could be arranged for her.

"Thank you very much then." Yae no Miko clapped her hands, and the accompanying shrine maiden, Inashiro Hotaru, carrying large and small bags, began setting up a room under the guidance of embassy staff.

Seeing the seemingly practiced movements, Richard's eyelids twitched involuntarily. This was clearly not a spur-of-the-moment decision; it was obviously premeditated.

So you're not even going to pretend anymore, are you?

Richard looked at Yae no Miko speechlessly, but Yae no Miko acted as if she hadn't seen him and casually pulled Chlorinde aside to chat about this and that.

Klee wasn't stupid either. After seeing Inashiro Hotaru's movements, she seemed to sense that Yae no Miko hadn't stayed solely because of her.

But... who cares?

For clever little Klee, being able to stay with Richard is all she needs. As for whether Yae no Miko has her own ulterior motives... Klee has no idea.

Despite her young age, Klee already understands many things. For example, she can tell at a glance that Yae no Miko likes her Richard brother.

This is nothing special; you'll understand once you see more of it.

After all, many of her older sisters had asked Keli about Richard before, and with more experience, they naturally came to understand.

In addition, Klee didn't dislike Yae no Miko to begin with; in fact, she really liked this older sister who spoke sweetly and was willing to take her fishing together.

Therefore, they were naturally happy to see Yae no Kamiko's selfish desires come true.

The sister-in-law conquest plan was a huge success!

In other words, Yae no Miko doesn't know what Klee is thinking. If she did, she would probably like Klee even more.

Yae no Miko: Although Klee's mother is a bit difficult, Klee herself is still very cute~

After being missing for a long time, Funina came downstairs. She heard some noise downstairs and decided to come down to check it out. As a result, she saw Claire and Richard catching up with each other downstairs.

"Sister Funina!" Claire quickly got off Richard and ran to Funina with her short legs.

Furnessa naturally crouched down, bringing her line of sight to Cleo's, and said with a genuine smile on her delicate face:

Good evening, little Cleo.

"Good evening, Sister Funina!" Klee replied energetically.

The little Spark Knight looked the beautiful, otherworldly water goddess up and down, his eyes lighting up as if he'd discovered something. He smiled and said:

"Sister Funingna is happy now!"

"Bully?" Fryna was surprised by Klee's sudden comment and asked curiously:

"Why would Klee say that? Because before, Furnessa didn't seem happy at all, but now she seems very happy." Klee always says what she thinks, and even if she makes a mistake, she will only stammer and be unable to speak, rather than lie.

“Happy…” Fryna touched her face, thinking that Klee seemed to have said something similar to her back in Mondstadt.

However, at that time, Klee felt that although she was smiling, she was actually not happy at all.

It must be said that children are indeed extremely sensitive to emotions, and even a performing genius like Fu Ningna could not hide her emotions in front of them.

"Yes, Sister Funina looks very happy right now, like she's fried a lot of fish." Klee drew a big circle with her hands, seemingly trying to show how many fish she had fried and how happy she was.

"Forehead……"

Faced with Klee's bizarre analogy, Frynn was momentarily speechless, but she quickly realized what she meant, snapped her fingers, and three water elemental summons suddenly appeared.

Fryna received a large Dudu doll from Lord Uther, which she had prepared beforehand.

When she left Mondstadt last time, Klee gave her a Dodoko doll. Frynn knew that Klee really liked Dodoko dolls, so when she returned to Fontaine, she had a huge Dodoko made, complete with a Fontaine dress and a top hat.

After getting the doll, Frynn asked Lord Uther to put it away, planning to give it to Klee in person the next time they met.

In retrospect, it's all thanks to her foresight in always keeping the doll with her.

"Wow, what a big Dudu!" Klee's eyes widened as if countless stars were shining.

"Here you go." Funina shoved the large Fontaine Dudu into Klee's arms.

The custom-made Dudu was indeed large, almost as tall as Klee. In addition, Dudu itself was round and plump, so at first glance it looked even bigger than Klee.

Even Funina had to lift it up by hugging it.

Although the doll was large, it was not actually heavy; at least Klee could easily lift it. However, carrying such a doll on her head was not very convenient, so Fryna suggested that she have someone help deliver the doll to her residence.

"Okay, Sister Funina, please help me put the doll with Brother Richard," Klee said after thinking for a moment.

“No problem… Hmm? Why Richard?” Furnessa noticed the blind spot.

“Because Richard said I can stay here tonight,” Claire said, turning to look at Richard.

Furnessa also looked at Richard, and then she saw Richard nod.

"Then let's put her in Richard's room." Furnessa had no objection to Keli staying overnight; in fact, she was quite happy about it. It was better than having some strange women staying in Richard's room.

The strange Yae no Miko was taken aback when she saw Funina pull out a large Dudu Co., and then a hint of annoyance appeared on her charming face. How come she didn't think of this method?

However, it's not too late to find out now. The pink-haired fox rolled her eyes and had already made up her mind. When she got back, she asked Yaedo to go to Mondstadt to buy the copyright of Duduco, launch the Duduco series of books, and prepare to build a Duduco theme park.

In short, she had only one goal: to make sure that when Claire came next time, she would be completely absorbed in Mondstadt.

It's just that Funina didn't know what Yae no Miko was thinking, otherwise she would have rolled her eyes at this fox.

What are you doing?!

Yae no Miko greeted Funina, and then Funina, carrying an oversized Dudu, led Klee to Richard's room to play.

Seeing this scene, Clarinde was deeply moved. She had a look of 'the child has finally grown up' on her face, which left Yae no Miko beside her stunned.

“Lady Furina, you’ve finally decided to take the initiative,” Clorind explained.

Yae no Miko was a little confused about what Clarinde's little head was thinking. Logically speaking, shouldn't she and Frinna be rivals in love?

Claude obviously didn't think so. She and Frynn were rivals, but no one said that rivals couldn't appreciate each other, right?

Besides, isn't she and Yae no Miko also rivals in love, yet they're still standing together chatting harmoniously?

Yae no Miko thought, how could these be the same? She and Clarind were comrades-in-arms who had shared hardships and fought together. How could they be compared?

Of course, Yae no Miko didn't say these things directly. After all, some things can only be said in private and cannot be put on the table, as that would be too unreserved.

As Yae no Miko pondered this, she wondered whether she should invite Clarinde along tonight, otherwise she wouldn't be able to handle Richard alone.

Eating too much and ending up too full to walk tomorrow would be a bit embarrassing.

Clarin had no idea what kind of ravenous thoughts were going through Yae no Miko's mind. She felt that since Yae no Miko had come, it meant that there was nothing for her to do today.

You can't expect Yae no Miko to seek outside help right from the start, can you? That would be too lame. Even Lynette wouldn't seek outside help from the very beginning.

They only asked her for help when they really couldn't hold on any longer.

You, the Eightfold Divine Child, have been conserving your energy for so long, there's no reason why things shouldn't go well. Even if the Heavenly King himself comes tonight, Clarinde will have to get a good night's sleep.

On the other side, Furina helped Klee place the Dudu plush toy on the soft bed. She clapped her hands, wiped away non-existent sweat, and said:

"Okay, tonight Klee can sleep with Dudu!"

"Thank you, Sister Furina! Sister Furina is the best!" Because of her larger version of Dodoo, Klee's affection for Furina was off the charts.

Of all her sisters, she likes Fu Ningna the most.

One reason is that her bra isn't very big, and the other is that Funina herself is very likable.

It belongs to the innate star body.

So, faced with such a kind older sister as Furnessa, Klee decided to help her out.

"Sister Furina, come a little closer, Klee has something to tell you..."

Chapter 245 Is it too late to run away now?

"Tell Sister Funina quietly, Brother Richard really likes Sister Funina! He really likes her!" Klee whispered, as if afraid that Richard outside would hear her telling on him.

Frynn, in response, feigned surprise and shyness, and exclaimed softly:

"real or fake?"

“It’s true! Klee doesn’t lie!” Klee nodded seriously. She really wasn’t lying, and she also believed that Richard liked Frynn a lot.

If you don't like someone, you definitely won't stay by their side.

Even Klee knew a little about her Richard brother's character. Richard never showed any mercy to those he didn't like. Although he seemed indifferent on the surface, he actually gave people a feeling of keeping them at arm's length.

Richard, however, felt none of the same way towards Funina, appearing very close to her, much like... he would towards his older sister, Yae no Miko. Wait...

Klee belatedly realized that Richard might like both Yae no Miko and Funina.

Moreover, according to what Yae no Miko said, Kage seems to like Richard too, but... but shouldn't one only have one girlfriend?

Little Klee looked utterly confused.

"What's Klee thinking about?" Furina asked curiously when she saw the puzzled look on Klee's face.

"N-nothing..." Klee seemed a little awkward. She was an honest child and wouldn't lie; not answering a question wasn't considered lying.

Although Klee had a high regard for Frynn, she decided to keep quiet when it came to her brother.

Let's just pretend we don't know.

Despite being at an age where she should only be playing, Klee seemed to have grown up a lot all at once, all thanks to her philandering brother.

"Anyway, good luck, Sister Funina! Klee thinks you can definitely win over my brother!" Klee touched the Dudu Koi that Funina had given her with a guilty conscience, feeling a little uneasy about having this Flame Dudu Koi.

Knowing too much is obviously not a good thing...

"Take...take what...I, I had absolutely no such thoughts!" Funina blushed and subconsciously retorted.

Klee looked at her older sister, Furna, and thought that Furna was far too blunt. Are all adults like this? Or is it just Furna who is like this?

If it were Yae no Miko, and I said that to her, she would most likely pat her chest and say, "Don't worry, I'll definitely win her over," right?

Hmm, although Sister Funina is very good, if the opponent is Sister Yae no Miko, I feel... the chances of winning are not very high?

"Does Sister Funina not like Brother Richard?" Claire continued to ask.

"No... it's alright, I like whatever..." Funina retorted habitually, because she felt it was a little strange to talk about this in front of the child.

But then she thought about it again and realized that the other person was Richard's sister. What if she really thought that she didn't like Richard and told Richard about it? Wouldn't that mean she could call it quits in advance?

So he changed his mind halfway through his sentence, but still didn't say he liked it directly. Instead, he said something ambiguous like "it's okay".

Even a child like Klee could tell that her words were insincere.

Sister Fu Ningna doesn't seem to be frank at all.

Klee sighed inwardly, feeling even more strongly that the chances of her sister Funina defeating her sister Yae no Miko were extremely slim.

I feel like I'm no match for them at all.

Little Claire isn't optimistic about her sister Funina's future love life and career.

However, considering that the other party is her brother's boss, she will definitely spend more time with him than with her sister Yae no Miko.

In this way, although the winning rate is low, it's not like there's absolutely no chance.
