Chapter 115

I don't know what to do.

Furina awkwardly smoothed her hair.

She let out a laugh: "Hehehe, um..."

"I just missed you, so I came to check on you."

In the end, Furina still summoned her courage and looked up at Su Bai.

But the moment she looked up, the other person's white hair, just like her own, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deeply pierced Furina's heart.

"What happened to your face, and your clothes..."

"Oh, that..." Furina pinched her nose and said in a soft voice, "I thought if I appeared before you dressed as Furina, you would be happier."

"No, I mean, why are you so covered in dust, and your clothes—did a tree branch tear them?"

"Eh!" Furina quickly looked down and only then realized that a corner of her skirt was indeed torn.

"It's, it's that butler of yours, what was his name again?"

"Avelson?"

"Yes! He wouldn't let us see you, and he actually hit us!"

Su Bai: "....."

No wonder there was such a commotion in the distance; it turned out Avelson and Furina's group had started fighting.

Listening to the sounds gradually fading in the distance, Su Bai gazed outward...

"Oh, don't worry."

"It's Navia, Clorinde, and Wriothesley..."

"They couldn't possibly really hurt your butler."

"Who could have expected that guy by your side to be so powerful? Only after three of us surrounded him could I break free and run here via the small path."

"I accidentally slipped, and my butt still hurts from the fall." Furina said this while rubbing her butt, looking utterly aggrieved.

Su Bai: "....."

He kept rubbing his temples.

A bad thought suddenly rose in Su Bai's mind.

Given Furina's personality, plus the power he had given her,

if Avelson dared to stop her, Furina would have beaten him to death.

Add to that her wretched appearance.

What difference is there between the current Furina and the Furina from before?

"Shoes... where are my shoes..."

Su Bai suppressed the strange emotion rising in his heart and continued to question.

"Don't worry about that; I only took off my shoes when I saw you."

"I'm not stupid; with such a long journey, if I hadn't worn shoes, my feet surely couldn't have endured it."

Hah...

Su Bai suddenly felt a wave of dizziness in his head.

Furina came to see him?

She probably felt she had only a few days left to live, was in a foul mood, and had come to kill with her blade.

Su Bai reached out his hand...

Furina's heart delighted, and she placed her hand on his.

Su Bai immediately glared at her: "I was talking about the Vision I gave you."

"Why so fierce?" Furina pouted and took out the pendant hanging around her neck.

The moment Su Bai saw the Vision, his pupils contracted tightly.

Just as he had expected.

The Vision had lost its once-vibrant brilliance.

Now, it had truly become a useless glass bead.

"I..."

"I gave the power inside it to the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale."

Seeing Su Bai's face change abruptly, Furina didn't give him a chance to speak and instead went on talking on her own.

"When Neuvillette told me about you back then, I was completely stunned."

"If you had told me sooner that this would happen, if I had known this would happen, I never would have agreed to be your divine heroine."

"This..."

"It's all your fault; you... you can't say I..."

Furina angrily turned her back.

Though it looked like she was sulking, her panicked and bewildered expression had already betrayed her.

She was afraid of being scolded harshly by Su Bai, which is why she dared not look directly into his eyes.

However, after waiting for a long time, Furina heard no scolding from Su Bai, only the sound of his footsteps as he left.

"Hey, wait..."

Furina rushed forward and grabbed Su Bai's arm.

"I tried giving the power to the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, intending to take it back whenever it's needed."

"How was I supposed to know that once given, it couldn't be taken back?"

"That's why I came to find you to go back and figure something out; this is your power, so there must be a way, right?"

She only felt Su Bai's trembling body.

Furina was stunned for a moment.

An answer immediately formed in her heart.

"Do you know why those small creatures in the sea attacked you when you played with them?"

"It is because your personality is too casual, unrestrained, and you never consider the other party's feelings."

Su Bai lectured with a trembling voice.

"Just like the power I gave you."

"Do you think it is a casual item that can be thrown away and picked up again?"

"Moreover, this power has already formed a connection with your body and mind. Do you know the consequences of extracting it to another place?"

"You..."

However, facing Su Bai's already reddened eyes,

Furina appeared unusually calm.

As if she completely failed to recognize the severity of the situation.

Yet her gaze grew ever more determined.

She said solemnly, "So you originally knew what would happen when you gave me power."

"You say my personality is casual and unrestrained."

"What about you?"

"You planned everything to make the people of Fontaine recognize me as the Hydro Archon again."

"Did you ever ask me if I needed their recognition?"

"You clearly know that Neuvillette has already pardoned the sins of the Fontainians; even if the flood strikes, they will not be dissolved."

"My worst outcome is merely losing the curse of immortality due to Furcalos's departure."

"So what then?"

"But have you thought that even if I am recognized by everyone as a god and become an immortal through your power,"

"How should I spend my time in the river of time without you?"

"Every single day would be tortured by pain; how many hundreds or even thousands of years must I continue to bear such days..."

"I can't. My mind is not as strong as those gods; I cannot endure it..."

"The prophecy has ended. I do not want to live so hard anymore."

Paimon: "Is this still Furina? She actually dares to lecture Su Bai."

Yuan Shang: "Their identities have been reversed. Lady Furina, she..."

Jean: "It seems Miss Furina had already made up her mind for everything before coming to find Mr. Su Bai."
