Chapter 130: Funina's Heart

Navrette: ...But, that Furninna is still a human being after all. Even if she has a long life, her mental strength is only at the level of a human. This is... such a painful torture for her.

Fucaros: Yes, even though Furina is "myself" as a human, if there is still a chance, I will definitely apologize to "myself".

[Funina: Humph, I don’t want you to apologize! (wiping tears)]

[Paimon: Huh? Furninna doesn't intend to forgive Fucarlos?]

【Kong: If you don’t know anything about emergency food, don’t talk nonsense. Go play somewhere else.】

Fucaros: For her, these five hundred years... were an extremely long, extremely lonely, and extremely painful... "opera".

[Potio: Damn it, this god speaks differently.]

The scene changed, and Kong was holding his head which was aching. He then stretched out his right hand and looked at the place touched by his tears.

Sora: (Just now I seemed to have touched Funina's... tears? According to past experience, tears are the things that contain the strongest emotions... When the water element's perception is strong enough, it will be like when I was at Lujing Spring, establishing a consciousness connection with the pure water spirit... Could this be... Funina's inner world?)

Then he suddenly noticed that Funina was sitting in the middle of the stage.

Sora: (Funina? What is she doing on the stage... Well, if I think about it carefully, she shouldn't be Funina, but a reflection of Funina's "inner self". If I can talk to her inner self directly, I might be able to easily get the information I want to know. I want to find the "answer" in the first place, so I can't miss this opportunity. I'll try to talk to her.)

Then Kong ran onto the stage and came to Funina's side. Before Kong could say anything, Funina spoke first.

Fu Nina: Oh? Who allowed you to come to this stage? As the god Fukaros, I understand your admiration for me, but please don't break the rules.

Sora: Funina?

Furninna: Okay, I don't mean to punish you, so you don't need to tell me your name. Let's go, don't delay my performance.

(Funina: Stop looking at me, stop looking at me...)

Sora: There doesn’t seem to be any audience here?

Funina: Humph, stop joking, can't you feel it?

(Funina: Even for a moment, let the stage go dark, let the spotlight stop...)

Funina: I am the god Fucarlos. Countless eyes in Fontaine are staring at me. I must always show the most elegant and noble manners.

(Funina: I can...become "myself" again...)

Sora: (Not quite. She's still "acting" the Water God in her heart. I can't communicate with her at all... What kind of determination can make her build such a defense in her heart and subconscious? I have to think of a way...)

[Mockingbird: She has such a strong will! I think we can make a song about it.]

[Sunday: Looks like my sister has a new song, I’m really looking forward to it.]

[March 7: Hey, Miss Robin, please remember to post it in the group as soon as possible! ]

【Mockingbird: Yes! You can.】

Then, Sora looked at the lights around the stage that were illuminating Funina.

Just as Kong turned off a light, a guard ran up.

Furninna: Audience, this is just a stage accident, don't worry, the guards will take care of it!

Kong was not afraid at all. He rushed forward with his six-star special weapon, the Edgeless Sword. He knocked down the guard in no time and ran to another lamp to turn it off.

Furninna: Hey, what are you doing! The audience is still looking at me, where is the guard, guard!

As Finina shouted, another guard ran up, but was easily dealt with by Kong as usual.

Finally, he turned off the last light shining on Funina.

Sora: (Now the spotlights are off. I guess in Funina's mind, these spotlights represent people's gazes on her. Speaking of which, I seemed to have received some hint just now. Could it be the true voice of Funina's heart? Hmm...? Tickets? When did they fall here?)

While thinking, Sora suddenly noticed the ticket on the ground. As soon as he picked it up, a beam of light shone on an audience seat below.

Kong also understood what was going on and went straight to this seat and sat down.

Sora: (Hmm, it looks like a drama is about to begin. Let me see your true heart, Furninna.)

<Act 1: In front of the mirror, Furninha>

???: Funina... Funina...?

Feeling someone calling her, Funina was also startled, after all, there was no one around.

Furninna: Eh? Who? Who is calling me? Where are you?

【Huo Huo: Ah! There won’t be any ghosts! 】

[Mr. Tail: Tsk~ Coward, you’re still so worried. 】

Man in the mirror: Don’t be nervous, don’t be afraid, I’m right in front of you.

Hearing this, Funina also noticed the person in the mirror who looked exactly like her but was wearing different clothes.

【Gui Naifen: Isn’t she the water god who appeared earlier?】

Furninda: No, no, no, that's not right. What's going on? You...you are the me in the mirror?

Man in the Mirror: Well, that’s a good name, so I am “you in the mirror”.

Funina: "The me in the mirror"...You, what do you want from me?

Man in the Mirror: "Prophecy"...Have you heard of it?

Funina: What prophecy... Ah, wait, I seem to know it. Although I don't know why, it seems to be in my mind... "Everyone will dissolve in the sea, leaving only the water god crying on the throne. Only then will the sins of the Fontaine people be washed away."

(I really didn’t expect that there would be so many plots before Louis’ guillotine. I haven’t written them yet. I should write them tomorrow or the day after tomorrow! Sorry!)
