Chapter 627: Ei Still Has No Brain

Zhongli smiled imperceptibly beside them. Good thing I'm not interested in shrimp; I have absolutely no desire to try it.

The "Damselette" revealed a gentle smile: "Worthy of being a prophet—he can even predict the Geo Archon and the Anemo Archon."

Being allies with someone like this is truly reassuring, although he occasionally pits his teammates too.

But it doesn't matter; the Fatui are so loving and affectionate internally that no one cares if the Doctor gets pitted.

"Scaramouche" snorted lightly, "It would be better if he didn't love using tricks to fool people."

Scaramouche, who had been fooled by Lucian into eating quite a few of Raiden Ei's dishes, said this.

In this regard, he and Mona both had very strong authority to speak.

As a former Fatui Harbinger, Lucian had arranged him to sit next to the other Fatui, and sitting behind him was Raiden Ei.

This showed Lucian's malicious intent. When they worked together before, Scaramouche deliberately avoided Ei, but now Lucian deliberately arranged them together.

But Scaramouche no longer had any ideas of "revenge," because after becoming a god previously, he had already exchanged blows with Ei once.

At that time, in the loop, Scaramouche had forgotten, but after the event ended, he remembered—the huge gap was truly despairing.

To be honest, Scaramouche's Dao heart was nearly shattered back then, which was why he became the "Wanderer."

Now, Scaramouche saying this was entirely because he had been fooled by Lucian too many times. His vigilance toward Lucian was naturally much stronger than Venti's, but unfortunately, it was useless.

At the same time, he had no good attitude toward Raiden Ei. Whether Ei's cooking was good or not, he didn't want to eat it—but unfortunately, he still ate it.

If this trick were used on "Scaramouche," it would definitely fail, but that doesn't mean "Scaramouche" isn't easy to fool.

At this moment, "Scaramouche" remembered the last time he was fooled by Lucian into eating Raiden Ei's cooking—just thinking about it made him uncomfortable.

Not only did the food make him uncomfortable, but the fact of being fooled was even more uncomfortable.

Good thing he was a puppet; otherwise, it might not have been just uncomfortable.

The "Damselette" didn't respond to Scaramouche. Lucian did love fooling people, but he was still very trustworthy and never violated contracts.

So according to the contract, the Fatui would soon obtain the Dendro Archon's Gnosis. It would be fine after this event ended—just wait.

Columbina came this time for another matter: to discuss with Lucian the conditions for obtaining the Electro Archon's Gnosis.

According to the contract, the Electro Archon's Gnosis was given to them in Inazuma, but now it had been taken back, so they needed to renegotiate conditions to get it back.

Just like last time, for such a big matter, it had to be negotiated personally by one of the top three Harbingers. The "Doctor" was actually here too, but that slice was already in an abandoned state.

The "Captain" was a bit busy, so naturally, she was the one responsible for the negotiation in the end.

It was unknown if she did it on purpose, but every time she came to negotiate with Lucian, it coincidentally happened during the broadcast of an animated film.

Speaking of which, among the people present, the most restrained might not be Scaramouche sitting in front of Raiden Ei, but Furina sitting behind Arlecchino.

At this moment, Furina was truly sitting upright and proper, her whole person exuding obedience, even her ahoge was retracted, afraid that others would notice her.

The reason she was like this was not entirely because of Arlecchino, but also because of Raiden Ei.

Raiden Ei had distributed "food" to all the gods—would she also receive this "honor"?

It couldn't be that only she was left out, right? Just thinking that this scheme was thought up by Lucian made Furina feel that there was definitely a portion for her.

Furina shrunk like a quail, only hoping that Raiden Ei wouldn't notice her.

Unfortunately, Raiden Ei noticed. Ei handed over a skewer of Tricolor Dango and a bottle of Dango Milk, saying:

"I heard from Lucian that you also like sweets? Try it."

According to the seating, Arlecchino and Scaramouche were sitting together, so naturally, the two of them were sitting together too, making this feeding action quite natural.

Furina hesitated a bit, afraid that these foods had also been tampered with by Raiden Ei.

The Anemo Archon hadn't woken up yet—he was a true god, while Furina was just a frail human. She feared that one bite and she wouldn't wake up.

Not to mention she was afraid; even Focalors in the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale was probably afraid.

Ei looked at Furina expressionlessly, blinking her eyes, seeming somewhat expectant.

Couldn't read it at all—this one had no expression at all. She should be expectant, right? It seemed like she was expectant, right?

Looking at Raiden Ei's expectant yet blankly adorable appearance, Furina really couldn't bear to refuse. Furina was still too kind.

She was right not to bear refusing—this was also a trap set by Lucian.

Back when Furina fed Lucian the Fish-Flavored Toast, Lucian had this exact mental state.

Resistant, but seeing the other's appearance made it hard to refuse, and in the end, he could only eat it.

This was Lucian's mindset back then, so Lucian wanted Furina to experience it too. One could say he was a bit vindictive—holding a grudge for nearly six hundred chapters.

Furina's mindset was indeed the same as Lucian's back then—she couldn't bear to refuse.

Bet on it! She took the Tricolor Dango, closed her eyes, steeled her heart, and bit down.

Her taste buds were stimulated, but fortunately, it was a good flavor. Paired with the Dango Milk, the texture and taste were even better.

This was also the same as Lucian's situation back then—embracing certain death, only to find the taste unexpectedly good.

Lucian did have a bit of petty revenge psychology, but he wouldn't maliciously retaliate.

"Very delicious." Furina nodded, her ahoge swaying back and forth.

This flavor was slightly inferior to her beloved macarons, but it was indeed quite good.

It's a pity that Furina didn't have a Vision; she didn't have pocket space to bring macarons.

A year ago, when she treated Lucian to Fish-Fish Chant Pie, it was Clorinde who carried them.

This time, Clorinde came too, but didn't bring macarons—couldn't share them. Alas, what a shame.

Furina breathed a sigh of relief, with a sense of joy like surviving a disaster, joyful enough to even provide emotional value to Lucian—it showed how happy she was.

Ei was relieved instead. Great—as Lucian said, she really made a friend.

That's right—Lucian even fooled Ei together. He told Ei to build good relationships with the other gods, so that she could become good friends with everyone, and if something happened, everyone would help.

Ei was very easy to fool; she didn't even analyze it—just do whatever Lucian said. If it was really bad, her sister would stop her.

Raiden Makoto naturally had no intention of stopping it, because although this was a bit mischievous, it did bring everyone closer.

This guy Ei really wasn't good at socializing; interacting more with everyone wasn't bad.

More interactions between them were really great. Dunyarzad, Kujou Sara, Barbara, and others were thoroughly enjoying it.

The film hadn't even started yet, but their gazes hadn't left their own gods, naturally witnessing the whole process—one by one, they were extremely excited.

The girls' moods were probably: Is this something I can watch without paying?
