Chapter 56

Although he could not fathom why Furina had deceived Su Bai.

The intuition gained from adjudicating cases over several centuries told Neuvillette.

The psychological journey Furina endured in her past life must have been even more desolate.

【Inside a luxurious room.】

【Su Bai gazed through the window at the Opera Epiclese.】

【"Your Holiness, the matter is thus."】

【"Young Lady Furina can be considered successful, can she not?"】

Clorinde let out a long sigh.

Seeing Lumine draw her sword back then had indeed sent a cold sweat down her spine.

Clorinde truly held the Hydro Archon in low regard, but since the gods and the Church were one entity.

No matter how unspeakable Young Lady Furina's actions were, as a member of the Church, they had to desperately find ways to help her resolve the ensuing troubles.

This was the most direct and most important command issued by Su Bai in his capacity as Pope.

【"Young Lady Furina is to attend Lin Ni's magic show at the opera house later; I believe Lin Ni has also invited the Traveler."】

【"Is that so?" Su Bai replied lightly.】

【"The Opera Epiclese, come to think of it, I have not been there for nearly a hundred years."】

Lin Ni: "Mr. Su Bai, are you going to the opera house? Then you should be able to see my magic performance."

Lynette: "Brother, do not get excited first. Have you forgotten that this instance of magic resulted in an accident, and you were nearly put on trial?"

Lin Ni: "Yes, thanks to the Traveler and Miss Navia, I was cleared of suspicion."

Venti: "You see, here the matter comes."

Arlecchino: "What does my lord the Anemo Archon mean? Could it be that Su Bai would force a false charge upon my child for the sake of Miss Furina?"

Dainsleif: "Arlecchino, think of my experience; it seems nothing is impossible."

Arlecchino: "....."

..... Requesting flowers..

..... Requesting tickets.....

..... Requesting data.....

Thank you, thank you, thank you, immensely grateful!!!.

Chapter 48: Furina is not obedient; work overtime to serve at night

"I recall that in the duel of that judgment..."

"It ended with Furina losing to Lumine."

"However, the most crucial factor was Navia's assistance."

"Without Navia, I think we would not have had full confidence to defeat Furina, would we?"

Paimon recalled the scene from that time.

She began chatting with Su Bai and the others.

"In the capacity of Pope Su Bai, I believe Navia would stand on his side."

"Plus Su Bai's abilities, the two of us have absolutely no chance of winning."

Lumine chimed in agreement.

"Sigh, this feeling is like a husband bringing another woman to bully us, the widow and orphan."

Pfft!

Su Bai, who was drinking tea, was nearly choked to death by Lumine.

Seeing this, Lumine quickly patted Su Bai's back and said with slight anxiety: "What are you doing? Can't one even make a joke to satisfy one's tongue?"

"As if anyone doesn't know that is a matter of past-life reincarnation."

"I also know you have no choice."

"Lumine, why do I feel you are speaking as if I were an infant?" Paimon asked blankly.

"Alright, alright, no more fooling around." Lumine immediately stopped the topic.

Her gaze turned to the nervous Furina.

She sighed and said: "Furina, the past matters are all over; you no longer need to be so restrained."

"Actually, I know; you are the persona of Furcalos."

"Eh?" Furina froze on the spot: "You... how did you know..."

Lumine shyly traced her cheek with her finger and smiled: "During the final judgment, when you cried, I saw your memories."

"Eh!!"

Immediately.

Furina, like a popped balloon, bounced straight up.

"So all..."

"Hmm, I was indeed a bit embarrassed back then and always wanted to apologize to you." Lumine's face showed regret.

"Holding on for five hundred years was truly hard on you."

"And until the very end, you were unable to prove your dedication to everyone."

"However, I think this exposure of your past life should be able to help verify your status again."

Hearing this.

Furina's nose stung.

"Hydro" almost surged out of her eyes.

Holding on for five hundred years was truly too exhausting.

Fortunately, the prophecy was false.

"So..."

Lumine suddenly stood up, hands on her hips, and said, "To apologize to you."

"I'll share Su Bai with you."

Furina, who had originally been immersed in sorrow, instantly transformed her grief into shock.

"What?"

"No, where does this kind of thing come from?"

"Exactly." Su Bai was also dumbfounded: "I am not an object; how can I be used as a transaction for your apology?"

"Huh? You seem unwilling?" Lumine glanced sideways, her cheeky expression making Su Bai find it funny.

"Could it be that you dislike Furina because she isn't as big as Clorinde?"

Su Bai: "....."

"Hey!" Furina stood up to protest: "I... that..."

"Mr. Su Bai is very excellent as a Reincarnator, but even if I am not the Hydro Archon, I am still Fontaine's big star, okay?"

"I... I..."

"I don't want it, I..."

Furina lowered her head slightly, her eyes drifting as she didn't know where to look.

Her heart was very puzzled.

Lumine must have started some strange hobby after recovering her memories?
