Story blurb: Also known as "Reincarnated as a Melusine, I Become Fontaine's Beloved by Letting My Thoughts Slip" The bad news: fanfic writer Feixisi transmigrates into a Melusine in Fontaine. The good news: he gains the ability to read minds. The bad news: this ability only works on Fontaine's NPCs and is completely useless with the main cast. On top of that, mind-reading comes with a side effect, which the transmigrator will have to discover for himself. Feixisi: "..." It's fine. Living out his days as an ordinary NPC in Fontaine sounds pretty nice, too. So why does every main character keep showing up at his door?! * Furina walks out of the department store carrying meat sauce and tomato sauce. She thinks about how there's still pasta at home, so she doesn't buy any more. [Aw, Furina's so cute, but it's so pitiful that she can only eat pasta all the time.] Who's talking? Furina looks around. [I wish I could feed Furina all kinds of little cakes until she's full. Sob, she's so adorable.] Feixisi looks up and sees the Furina he has been longing to meet standing right in front of him. He reaches out to her. "I, Furina, hit cake." Feixisi: ? * Neuvillette walks through the rain after concluding a trial. Just then, an unfamiliar NPC comes over with a fawning smile. "Your Honor, take my umbrella. You're Fontaine's faith, so please don't catch a chill." Splash! The rain pours down harder. [Hydro Dragon, Hydro Dragon, don't cry! You soaked the dried Bulle Fruit I just put out!] Feixisi hears the NPC's thoughts and is furious. He walks over, jumps up, smacks the NPC's arm, and knocks the umbrella away. [Hmph, you just want to curry favor with Neuvillette and throw your weight around so you can skim more profits in the next inspection.] "Where did this rude Melusine come from?" Feixisi steps in front of Neuvillette. "If you've got time to spare, you should be worrying about how you'll pass your next goods inspection." The NPC tries to say something in his defense, but one look at Neuvillette's stern expression and the "Melusine" in front of him is enough to make him slink away. At that moment, Neuvillette hears that peculiar voice again: [Oh, my sweet, innocent little dragon. You're so easy to lead astray when you're out on your own. Don't casually talk to strangers on the street from now on. They're all after something. I'm the only one who truly cares about you.] Neuvillette's heart softens as he listens. As expected of a Melusine, the softest and cutest creatures in the universe. He quietly picks up the umbrella and holds it over this unique Melusine. Before long, the sky clears. Feixisi is about to head back with his dried Bulle Fruit when he hears Neuvillette mutter behind him: "Does everyone who holds an umbrella over me have an ulterior motive?" Feixisi: Sorry, I didn't mean to hit you with friendly fire. Sumimasen. Splash! The rain starts pouring again. "My dried Bulle Fruit!!!" Meanwhile, far away at the Fortress of Meropide, the Duke sneezes violently. "Ah-choo! Who's thinking about me now?" [Reading Guide] * Pairing: Feixisi x Neuvillette. Feixisi appears as a Melusine early on, but later regains his male body. * Episodic side stories: [Wriothesley: The Children's Dreams Must Not Be Profaned (Complete)] [Furina: Shine in My Name (Complete)] [Sumeru F4 Arc: Not Friends (Complete)] [Chiori Boutique Arc: Light in the Dust (Complete)] [House of the Hearth Arc: A Black Cat Isn't Black (Updating)] * Feixisi isn't a typical good guy. He's neither a saint nor a villain, and he's good at getting lost in his own fantasies. He may occasionally have a dark thought or two. * Apologies for the OOC! Apologies for the OOC! Apologies for the OOC! * Feixisi transmigrates as a Melusine and regains a human form midway through the story. * Feixisi can hear the thoughts of all NPCs outside the main cast, while the main cast can hear his thoughts. They can read each other's minds (there'll be a little bonus later on). Coming soon: "[Honkai: Star Rail] After the Foxian Physician of Yaoqing Overheard My Thoughts" Pairing: Jiaoqiu x Yanlin (Second edit for version 2.5: I've decided to abandon the original plot and make this entirely an alternate universe.) Blurb: In his previous life, Yanlin's Foxian clan, Zhuochi, lived far from the Xianzhou. But the torment of becoming Mara-Struck turned them into a wicked clan that terrorized the region, and the Xianzhou forces came to crush them. Just as both sides were gravely wounded, the Borisin, who had been lying in wait for a long time, suddenly appeared and wiped out the weakened forces of both factions. Reborn into this life as the youngest foxian male in his clan, he vows to find a way to save his people and prevent this calamity. The first step is to go to the Xianzhou and ease tensions between the two sides. So he sneaks aboard a vehicle said to be picking up the dragon girl and taking her back to the Alchemy Commission, hoping he can learn from her how to ease his people's Mara-Struck condition. When he reaches out to grab the dragon girl's clothes, he unexpectedly touches something soft and fluffy. His gaze follows the tail upward, revealing a squinty-eyed foxian male. Yanlin: I think I've messed with someone I shouldn't have... To his surprise, the foxian gives him a slight smile and cries out like a food lover: "Want to go get hot pot together?" Yanlin: ? - After learning that this squinty-eyed fellow is also a doctor, Yanlin rubs his hands together, eager to try and abduct him back to Zhuochi to treat his people. But... How does he know I'm going to make my move today?! As he schemes against this man, Yanlin notices that he often watches him for a long time with a strange look in his eyes. It's as if Yanlin were a sheet of transparent paper, with no secrets at all. Everything is unfolding according to the timeline of his previous life, and he grows anxious over his own helplessness. Is there really no way to change anything...? Jiaoqiu waves his feather fan. "Everything is under control. Including you." - Jiaoqiu sneaks out of Yaoqing to eat spicy food, then suddenly realizes that he can hear the thoughts of the Foxian beside him. After Jiaoqiu takes him back to Yaoqing: Yanlin acts eager to cooperate, looking serious, diligent, and eager to learn, while thinking: [I'm sick of eating spicy food every day. My poor backside! Once I tie you up and take you back to Zhuochi, I'll make you plant cilantro! No, those hands are better suited to healing people. I can't bear to make him work too hard!] [What if I put some cilantro in the spicy hot pot? If he gets dizzy, I can bundle him up and take him away, hehe. I'll just hold my nose and not eat it, so I won't get dizzy.] Kidnapping victim Jiaoqiu: ... When they set out with Yaoqing's forces: Yanlin automatically hides in a safe area, even pushing the doctor to the front. He puts on a brave face and insists on charging ahead, while thinking: [Help, aaaaaah! How is that tailless Foxian general so strong?! The enemy hadn't even finished their threats before their heads were gone! If my clan fought her, she'd take us out one by one like schoolchildren! Looks like I'll need to take a hostage to negotiate!] Jiaoqiu, regarded as a hostage: ... At the dinner table: Yanlin sits beside him with a calm expression, looking at the dazzling array of food. He seems perfectly composed, but thinks: [Do you see how many dishes there are? They all taste the same. Look how watery they are. Pretty mild, right? Spicy. Spicy! Every last one of them is spicy!] Jiaoqiu, the exhausted chef: ... This guy's been spoiled absolutely rotten. - Jiaoqiu takes the general's handwritten letter of proposal and the six betrothal gifts to Zhuochi to ask for Yanlin's hand. He has barely reached the entrance when Yanlin, waiting there, stops him. "No! The clan leader says I'm the stupidest foxian male in the clan. If I find another weak foxian male, we'll have an even stupider foxian baby." Jiaoqiu helplessly lists example after example to explain that he isn't weak. Sigh, there's no helping it. He spoiled his silly darling, so now it's up to him to keep spoiling him. [Reading Guide] * Warning: a fictional historian at work. Any OOC is my doing. * Set after Hoolay's death. Jiaoqiu is temporarily blind, but this has nothing to do with the original Honkai: Star Rail plot. All settings serve the story! * The protagonist's name is Yanlin, combining the characters for salt and pepper (Yan) and hill (Lin). * When I drafted the blurb and outline, I didn't know Jiaoqiu's personality yet. Based on the pink hair, fox ears, squinty eyes, and feather fan, I guessed he might be a wolf in sheep's clothing. We'll see once he's released. Theme: Strive to become a better version of yourself.
