Chapter 58

【This matter was told to Su Bai by Neuvillette.】

【But, Su Bai had also tried it, and didn't find anything.】

Paimon: "Strange, is Su Bai’s perception of Hydro very weak?"

Skirk: "Perhaps in that life, Mr. Su Bai used power unrelated to elemental energy."

Lumine: "I think it might be because my Mr. Su Bai is too strong, and that Oceanid didn't dare to appear in front of him."

Arataki Itto: "Why did that Oceanid know Vacher? Could it be his lover who was dissolved?"

Kujou Sara: "Oh my, you seem to have discovered a blind spot."

Cyno: "Ah, so you’re saying Fontaine people who are dissolved become Oceanids? What’s going on?"

Navia: "Ahahaha... is there... how would we know."

Thoma: "I really suspect you are pretending to be calm."

【Su Bai, full of curiosity,】

【followed Lumine and the others to the Fountain of Lucine.】

【"How about it, Your Holiness? With your ability, you should also be able to sense that Oceanid, right?"】

【Navia looked at Su Bai with worship.】

【Unfortunately, Su Bai shook his head with a bitter smile: "Sorry, I don't seem to be able to sense the existence of that Oceanid."】

【Navia was shocked: "Eh, impossible. Your Holiness is so powerful, how could you not sense it."】

【Paimon: "....."】

【"The current Navia is completely a fan of the Pope."】

【"Su Bai can't sense the existence of the Oceanid, and she can't accept it."】

【Oceanid?】

【Paimon’s whispering was naturally heard clearly by Su Bai.】

【But, he couldn't care about the other party’s teasing at all right now.】

【Su Bai had a certain understanding of Lumine’s affairs.】

【The other party could use various elemental powers without using a Vision.】

【And, she should be a person from another world.】

【Such a special person,】

【having extremely strong Hydro perception is not hard to understand.】

【Moreover, Lumine’s clear gaze revealed a hint of cuteness, and she had been busy running around for this case, so she shouldn't be lying.】

Lisa: "Hahaha, such a cute Mr. Su Bai, teasing his lover from the past life."

Lumine: "What are you laughing at? Even if there is no me in his memory, he still recognizes me."

【"Perhaps she is no longer here."】

【Seeing Su Bai thinking, Lumine kindly reminded him.】

【Navia, who was originally bitter, instantly became overjoyed: "I said so, with the Pope’s ability, how could he not sense that Oceanid."】

【Lumine was also very smart; she didn't use the excuse of sensing it herself to test whether the Oceanid was still there.】

【"Alright, alright."】

【"The missing girls case from twenty years ago has finally been solved."】

【"The wicked have been brought to justice, and the grievance my father bore has finally been cleared."】

【"Now should be the time to celebrate."】

【Navia said, looking at Su Bai shyly.】

【"I don't know if the Pope has time to have a meal with us?"】

【Paimon and Lumine were stunned upon hearing this.】

【"As expected of Navia, her enthusiastic personality allows her to directly invite the Pope to dinner."】

【Having stayed in Fontaine for a long time,】

【Lumine and Paimon naturally knew Su Bai’s status.】

【An existence no less than the Hydro Archon Furina, and even feeling higher in status than the other party.】

【How many people find it difficult to even see the other party once.】

【Navia actually asked the other party to have dinner together directly?】

【"Sigh, I really don't know if the young lady’s enthusiastic personality is good or bad."】

【However, just as Su Bai wanted to give up exploring the Oceanid and planned to decline Navia’s invitation,】

【a faint sobbing sound reached his mind.】

【"So long..."】

【"So lonely..."】

【"How much longer..."】

【"I’m sorry, I can't do anything."】

【"....."】

【Su Bai: "!!!"】

【This voice is...】

【Furina.】

【The sobbing sound that suddenly appeared at the Fountain of Lucine made Su Bai’s pupils shrink.】

【"Sorry, Navia, Lumine, Paimon..."】

【"I have something to attend to, let’s celebrate next time."】

【Su Bai ignored their stunned expressions, hurried away, and walked quickly toward the Palais Mermonia.】

Clorinde: "Was that sobbing sound Furina’s?"

Ganyu: "Hmm, the voice is exactly the same."

Arataki Itto: "What happened again? I find Fontaine so mysterious."

Kuki Shinobu: "Could it be that Furina has a problem?"

Yoimiya: "I don't know, but I see Mr. Su Bai’s anxious face; he must think Furina is in a situation."

Kamisato Ayaka: "Is he going to save her? Mr. Su Bai is too concerned about Furina. I feel Furina should be fine."

Dvalin: "Sigh, Neuvillette said Mr. Su Bai’s heart has been chaotic these days. Is it because the pressure of these hundreds of years has been too great, and he’s having auditory hallucinations?"

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "Regardless of whether Furina is really in trouble, Mr. Su Bai’s anxious face is enough to prove his concern for Furina. Hmm, so sweet."

Azhdaha: "Su Bai doesn't have erosion?"

Consultant Zhongli: "Uh! You asked a good question, but I don't know how to answer you."

Venti: "Sigh, the weariness in the heart might be even more serious than resisting erosion, especially when there are people you care about."

Chapter 58: Fontaine People Are Oceanids? All Efforts Become Empty

【The sobbing sound of Furina in the Fountain of Lucine made Su Bai upset.】

【He suspected he was having auditory hallucinations.】

【But, with his current strength, Su Bai thought this suspicion was an insult to himself.】

【The authenticity of the sound could be said to be 100% real.】

【Too late to think too much,】

【Su Bai rushed toward Furina’s residence.】

【"Your Holiness..."】

【"Your Holiness..."】

【"Lady Furina she..."】

【The maid beside Furina wanted to stop the fiery Su Bai.】

【Unfortunately, due to the other party’s status and this aggressive momentum,】

【the maid could only follow behind Su Bai, advising him constantly.】

【Bang!】

【The door to Furina’s house was pushed open by Su Bai with brute force.】

【However, just as he entered, the pretty figure before him came into view.】

【The moment their eyes met, Su Bai was stunned on the spot.】

【At this time, Furina, in a bathrobe, had a shy, pretty face, and countless expressions of helplessness flashed in her eyes.】

【"Eh?"】

【"Eh!"】

【"Wait a moment, you, you, you..."】

【"What’s going on with you?"】

【Furina subconsciously wrapped the bathrobe tightly around herself.】

【Her attention immediately shifted to the maid who followed Su Bai into the room.】

【"Didn't I tell you I was taking a bath?"】

【"You... how did you let him in..."】

【"Sorry, Lady Furina..."】

【It’s not my fault. The Pope looked so angry, did I dare to stop him?】

【Su Bai touched his nose awkwardly.】

【He asked: "Is the Hydro Archon okay?"】

【Furina: "Ah?"】

【"No... nothing..."】

【Furina looked at Su Bai suspiciously.】

【Her eyes were a bit evasive.】

【This guy is so anxious, isn't it to hold her accountable for the problem with the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale today?】

【"Are you sure?"】

【Su Bai’s suddenly serious expression scared Furina into retreating repeatedly, and accidentally, she sat on the sofa.】

【"Of... of course..."】

【The air in the room suddenly became quiet.】

【After learning that Furina was okay,】

【Su Bai didn't say anything more.】

【After a while, Furina was the first to speak, smiling tentatively: "Do you want to go out first?"】

【"If you have something to find me for, you have to wait for me to put on my clothes."】

【"Don't forget, I am the Hydro Archon, and you are the Pope."】

【"We are both people of status in Fontaine."】

【"If it gets out that I was in a bathrobe in the same room with you for too long, it will cause the citizens to have wild guesses, you say..."】

【"Right?"】

【Su Bai: "....."】

【Hearing this, his face sank.】

【He couldn't help but mutter in his heart.】

【You are wrapped more tightly in a bathrobe than in your usual attire.】

【What bad things could get out?】

【Usually wearing shorts, you can see fair long legs. Wrapped in a bathrobe almost to the ground, I really don't know what you are thinking.】

Furina: "....."

Furina: "Hey, that’s not right. What do you mean that if I’m dressed strictly, nothing messy will get out?"

Lisa: "Hmm, Mr. Su Bai is indeed a bit arbitrary."

Yae Miko: "I actually think what Su Bai said makes a lot of sense. If the citizens really had bad thoughts, it should have spread long ago."

Paimon: "Why do I feel Furina looks expectant, as if she especially hopes the Fontaine citizens have misunderstandings about the relationship between the two of them."

Furina: "Hey, don't talk nonsense, I don't."

【"Since the Hydro Archon is fine, I will take my leave."】

【Su Bai replied lightly.】

【Without waiting for Furina to say anything more,】

【he left the room directly.】

【Furina was left behind, looking blank.】

【"What happened?"】

【"Did I have something to find him for?"】

【"I didn't find him?"】

【"Could it be that Su Bai thought I was nervous and scared because of the Fatui Harbinger causing trouble and the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale having problems?"】

【"He was worried about me, so he rushed over to see me?"】

【Thinking of this,】

【Furina’s mouth curled up unconsciously.】

【"Oh my, this is really..."】

【Furina, who returned to the bed,】

【remained inexplicably excited.】

【"I thought he came to hold me accountable, I didn't expect, didn't expect..."】

Paimon: "You guys look, I was right, Furina is expecting the forbidden relationship between the Hydro Archon and the Pope."

Furina: "....."

Furina: "What the hell is a forbidden relationship? Do you know how to talk?"

Lisa: "Hmm, the excited Hydro Archon is also very cute."

Jean: "Completely like a sweet girl in love."

【Walking out of the Palais Mermonia,】

【Su Bai felt much better.】

【He also mocked himself.】

【"Could it be that I was really hit by Iverson’s words recently?"】

【"I’ve started having auditory hallucinations."】

【Recalling his meeting with Furina just now,】

【the other party was still silly, and he couldn't see any difference from before.】

【Presumably, Furina was completely fine, jumping around, and still heartless every day.】

【But, it’s a pity that Su Bai still hasn't figured out why Primordial Seawater only has an effect on Fontaine people.】

【Fortress of Meropide.】

【Wailing sounds kept coming from a room.】

【"What’s going on, Wriothesley."】

【"Why did Vacher turn into this?"】

【Clorinde looked at Wriothesley, as if asking if he had done something excessive to Vacher.】

【"Hey, I’m not that bored."】

【"He is just the murderer of the missing girls case. Although he is guilty of heinous crimes, I wouldn't do anything excessive to such a person."】

【"He turned into this after being brought here."】

【"I heard that his spirit became abnormal after going to the Fountain of Lucine with the Traveler." Wriothesley spread his hands.】

【Looking like it had nothing to do with him at all.】

【"He also went to the Fountain of Lucine?"】

【A familiar voice sounded from behind.】

【Clorinde and Wriothesley turned around immediately, and upon seeing Su Bai, they hurriedly saluted: "Your Holiness..."】

【"Why are you here?"】
