Chapter 38 - Ch 38 : The Tragedy of Poisson Village: The Withering Spina di Rosula
"My deepest apologies, Captain Chevreuse! Mr. Su Yuan!"
The waiter bowed deeply to both Chevreuse and Su Yuan.
"It's fine, it's fine. I was the one at fault first..." Su Yuan said with an embarrassed smile.
"I went out to eat without bringing any Mora... and even made Captain Chevreuse cover for me."
"No, no, Mr. Su Yuan..." The waiter shook his head repeatedly.
"I'm apologizing because when I saw you and Captain Chevreuse chatting and laughing, I thought the two of you were engaged in some unspeakable black-market deal..."
"I slandered your pure and noble souls. I am guilty!"
"Alright, alright, it's nothing serious. Don't take it to heart," Chevreuse said with a helpless smile.
With that, Su Yuan and Chevreuse left Hotel Debord.
"Chevreuse, isn't the Special Patrol Unit supposed to deal with the most dangerous criminals? Since when do you have to handle something as trivial as a dine-and-dash?" Su Yuan asked in confusion.
"I just happened to be patrolling near the hotel when I saw the waiter running out for help, so I lent a hand," Chevreuse replied.
"But seriously, Su Yuan, how do you even go out without bringing any Mora?"
"I've just been too focused on dealing with the Eerie... I didn't think about something like this," Su Yuan muttered.
Then, all of a sudden, a thought struck him, and he quickly glanced at the firearm slung on Chevreuse's back...
Fortunately, the barrel was pointed upward.
"You only just thought of that now? Looks like you've got something on your mind," Chevreuse observed, eyeing Su Yuan thoughtfully.
"As expected of Captain Chevreuse, nothing gets past you," Su Yuan admitted.
"Let's go. We need to head to Palais Mermonia. I'll explain everything in front of Neuvillette and Furina."
Su Yuan and Chevreuse arrived at Palais Mermonia and headed to Neuvillette's office, only to find that no one was there.
Just then, a Melusine from the Gardes de Lumen happened to pass by the doorway.
Su Yuan stopped her and asked, "Hello, do you know where Lord Neuvillette has gone?"
"Oh, I know. It seems there have been some issues with the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale again, so Lord Neuvillette and Lady Furina have already headed to the Opera Epiclese..."
"Su Yuan, we should head there too," Chevreuse said with a nod.
Without delay, the two made their way to Opera Epiclese, where they found Neuvillette and Furina standing before the Oratrice, their brows slightly furrowed as if deep in thought.
Hearing approaching footsteps, Neuvillette turned around and saw Su Yuan and Chevreuse.
"Su Yuan, you came at the right time. I was just about to look for you," Neuvillette said.
"I don't wish to interrupt your sightseeing in Fontaine, but this matter is far too important."
As he spoke, Neuvillette handed Su Yuan a peculiar-looking piece of paper.
Su Yuan and Chevreuse looked at the paper, which read:
[The death sentence for... Su Yuan... has been pardoned...]
[But the execution... must take place...]
[A random person... has already been chosen...]
[The execution... will happen today...]
"Su Yuan, do you have any idea what this means?" Neuvillette asked.

"Why would the one behind the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale pardon your execution...?"
"And more importantly, it seems they are no longer giving us the chance to re-evaluate the sentence. Instead, they have directly chosen someone at random to be executed..."
"This is the worst-case scenario... because we have no way of knowing who they've chosen."
"Neuvillette, this is exactly why I came to find you... The execution doesn't necessarily have to take place at night!" Su Yuan said slowly.
"Just a while ago, I met the person behind the Oratrice!"
"What?" Furina immediately leaned in, carefully examining Su Yuan with concern.
"Su Yuan, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Hearing Furina's worried voice, Su Yuan felt a warm sensation in his heart: Fufu is worried about me... She cares about me... That means I have a place in her heart...
"For certain... special reasons, that person gave up on executing me," Su Yuan explained.
"Special reasons?" Neuvillette murmured thoughtfully.
"Could it be... because you are not a native of Teyvat, but rather a traveler from another world?"
Su Yuan was still trying to come up with an excuse to explain everything, but Neuvillette had already jumped to his own conclusion...
"That's right, that might be the reason..." Su Yuan nodded.
"Then this is a real problem..." Chevreuse said.
"We don't know who the chosen execution target is, nor do we know when the execution will happen..."
"That means we can't make any preparations in advance..."
"We'll only find out who was chosen once they're already dead..."
"Lord Neuvillette, bad news! The young lady of Spina di Rosula—no, now she should be called the president—Miss Navia has been assassinated in Poisson Village!"
At that moment, a Gardes Melenes member rushed in, speaking anxiously to Neuvillette.
"Miss Navia's death is exactly like Erin's! It must have been done by the same person!"
Everyone was utterly shocked...
No way—had the execution already happened so quickly?
At this moment, Poisson Village was even more desolate than ever...
Everyone had gathered in the village's central clearing, staring at the bloodstained white cloth in the middle.
Beneath that cloth lay their beloved Miss Navia—her broken and battered body...
Melus and Silver knelt beside her, unable to stop their tears.
"So that the young lady could enjoy the fun of baking at any time, Silver and I were always prepared..." Melus said slowly, his aged face appearing even older in this moment of grief.
"Eggs... sugar... almonds... I brought them all..." Silver, even behind his dark sunglasses, could not hide his tears and the unbearable sorrow written across his face.
"But where are you now, my lady..."
Melus looked around at the gathered crowd and spoke in a voice filled with anguish:
"My lady... all of us here... we long to taste your baking one last time... To have one more bite of your macarons... To savor your gingerbread cookies again..."
"Hey, look over there—isn't that Lord Neuvillette? And Lady Furina? And Captain Chevreuse? They've all come to Poisson Village!"
At that moment, someone from the outer edge of the crowd shouted.
"Lord Neuvillette! Lady Furina! Captain Chevreuse! You must find the culprit and deliver justice for our most beloved Lady Navia!"
"This murderer is absolutely unforgivable! Miss Navia was still so young... I would rather have died in her place!"
"Lord Callas died an unjust death, and now his only daughter, Navia, has met the same cruel fate! In this world, good people never get the reward they deserve!"
"We had hoped that under Miss Navia's leadership, Poisson Village would thrive again, that Spina di Rosula would reclaim its former glory... But now, all of that is impossible!"
The crowd surged forward, each person voicing their sorrow, rage, pain, and regret...
Seeing this scene, Su Yuan and his companions couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with sadness.
If Eirin's fate could still be considered deserved in some way, then Navia's death was nothing but pure misfortune...
Su Yuan had already made up his mind—after gathering all the necessary information, he would take his own life and reset the timeline.
Even though he had never met Navia since arriving in Teyvat, he still knew her well.
A young lady so just, kind, and full of warmth—she could not be allowed to die in vain.
"Navia!!!"
Suddenly, from one of the nearby rooms, someone burst out, screaming Navia's name.
But the moment that person laid eyes on the bloodstained white cloth—and on Furina, standing at the center of the gathered crowd—
"Furina!!!"
Without a shred of hesitation, that person drew the twin blades and charged straight at her!
"Give Navia... back to me!!!"
"You—"
"Murderous demon!!!"
