"Thump!"
Just as Furina was getting into the movie, Xavier turned on the lights in the screening room.
"What are you doing, Xavier? I was just at the exciting part!"
Furina was so angry that she immediately stood up and took off her glasses.
"What, it's the Raiden Shogun!" When Furina saw Ei, she was completely stunned.
And Ei, upon seeing Furina, also remained motionless, staring intently at her.
"Oh no, did she find out about Neuvillette wanting to judge the gods, and now she's going to hold a grudge against me?"
"But I'm not a real god, and I didn't say those words either. Oh dear, oh dear, her gaze is getting sharper and sharper..."
On the surface, Furina looked incredibly calm, but inside, she was panicking.
However, in reality, Ei wasn't thinking about any of those chaotic things.
"The dessert in her hand, it really looks delicious."
"Xavier didn't lie to me after all. Blue Star has many delicious desserts, completely different from Teyvat."
"But, I can't just ask for it directly, can I? Wouldn't that be undignified...?"
Xavier found it hard to understand why both of them were silent.
They just kept staring at each other, as if under a petrification spell.
"Ahem, General, this is Furina, a theatrical performer from Fontaine!"
To break the strange atmosphere, Xavier specifically introduced Furina.
Ei then collected her thoughts and nodded, "Hello, Furina."
Furina also let out a sigh of relief. It turned out the Raiden Shogun wasn't going to hold these things against her.
"Ahaha, hello, hello! It's truly an honor to meet you. I've always wanted to see you!"
Although Furina's laugh was a bit forced, she at least expressed goodwill.
She then thought of something and quickly handed over the dessert in her hand.
"Oh, this is a purple sweet potato bean bun. You can try it, it's very delicious!"
Ei didn't expect Furina to give her such an easy out so quickly. It seemed she was a good person.
"In that case, I won't be polite."
Ei took the pastry and took a small bite.
With this unique texture and peculiar taste, Ei felt like a new world had opened up to her.
She never imagined that Blue Star's desserts could be this delicious!
Furina asked, "How is it? Isn't it delicious?"
Ei calmly replied, "Mm~ The taste is indeed very unique. It seems you, Furina, know a lot about Blue Star's desserts."
Upon mentioning this, Furina proudly said, "Of course! I've tasted many desserts from Blue Star, and you absolutely don't have to be polite in the future. Xavier is very rich here, so eat as much as you want!"
Xavier grabbed her ahoge and questioned, "Do you think I'm a charity organization? You can eat as much as you want?"
Furina was furious, flailing as she said, "Damn it, don't think I don't know that you make a lot of money from filming videos! I'm just taking my share!"
"I'm sorry, your share is used up. Now you'll have to do housework for me to eat pastries!"
"No way! You're making elegant and beautiful me do housework? I'm going to sue you..."
Ei paid no mind to the two's usual bickering. Holding the pastry in her hand, she walked over to Klee, who was next to her.
Klee was busy with a puzzle and didn't even notice anyone approaching.
"How strange, why can't Klee put this puzzle together no matter what she does...?"
Klee scratched her little head, clearly in big trouble.
Ei chewed a bite of the bean bun and pointed to a spot, "Put it here."
"Wow! It really goes here!"
Klee didn't think much and placed the puzzle piece in her hand where Ei pointed.
Only when she looked up did she realize it was a new face.
"Sister, you're so amazing! How did you know?"
Ei thought for a moment and said, "Because I just know. I know just by looking at it."
Klee's innocent little eyes became even more bewildered.
Ei was not a person who was very good at communicating with others, and saying such things to a child wouldn't be understood.
"Hmm, Sister looks familiar. A bit like the Raiden Shogun from the game!"
"Is that so? Then what part doesn't look like her?"
"Hmm~ You seem prettier, and you look more powerful than the Raiden Shogun in the game!"
Klee was still a child and didn't understand what 'dignity' meant; she just thought it was cool.
Ei rarely showed a faint smile, though it was very slight.
When Xavier brought them back upstairs, he found Ayaka had already changed her clothes.
This outfit was very similar in style to what Yoimiya was wearing, both casual and somewhat sporty and youthful.
The two sat at the table chatting, undoubtedly sharing intimate secrets between Damselettes.
Yoimiya's personality was more lively, while Ayaka's was still more reserved.
Therefore, Yoimiya was always the proactive one during their conversations, always with a smile on her face.
Ayaka seemed to enjoy chatting with Yoimiya, occasionally responding with a sentence, and also having a smile on her face.
As they chatted, they eventually moved on to the topic of eating hotpot.
"It's true! Last time's hotpot was really delicious!"
"Although I think hotpot is a very good meal, my brother's strange way of eating it really makes me a bit..."
Thinking of Ayato putting everything into the hotpot, Ayaka felt a bit nauseous.
When Yoimiya learned that Ayato added all sorts of dark dishes to his hotpot, Yoimiya immediately stood up.
"No way! Someone actually puts fruit in hotpot? That would give you diarrhea!"
"Hmm... Actually, I've never quite understood my brother's appetite, so I don't really like eating with him."
Although it was a family shame not to be aired, Ayaka couldn't help but complain.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Ei asked, "Hotpot? Is Blue Star's hotpot different from Inazuma's hotpot?"
"Of course it's different! General, if you're interested, we can go try it together. It tastes great!"
Yoimiya then introduced the virtues of hotpot to Ei.
Ei secretly nodded, taking it to heart. So there were so many delicious foods on Blue Star.
Looking at it this way, she seemed to have not eaten many good things.
As it was nearing noon, Xavier once again had Furina's three little followers help him cook.
Ever since these three little ones started helping, Xavier felt like he could even cater a large banquet without a problem.
In just an hour, Xavier had already prepared a large table full of dishes.
Sitting at the table, Ei looked at the many unfamiliar foods and felt very hungry.
And just as the few of them were about to start eating, two figures suddenly appeared in the living room.
"It seems we've arrived just in time, Xavier."
Nahida walked over with a sweet smile. They had indeed arrived at the perfect time.
Balladeer, who was beside her, originally had little expression, but when he saw Ei, his expression immediately changed.
Ei also finally noticed her convenient son and put down her chopsticks.
The two just stared at each other, and the atmosphere instantly became incredibly awkward.
