Funina suddenly raised her head, expressing a strong refusal.

"But the person you previously decided to accompany you was Lord Ryder."

"Isn't this simple? Just grab any cute Melusin, and the effect will be much better than bringing Ryder along!"

"ha..."

The maid thought to herself that if she had to choose, she would still choose Grandpa Ryder.

"Are you sure you don't need to?" Knowing Fulina's personality, one second she was one thing and the next she was another. "We confirmed the time with Lord Ryder, and he agreed. Lady Fulina, haven't you always looked forward to traveling with him?"

Funina glared at her and said, "Desina, are you questioning my decision?"

"Don't dare..."

"Go back."

"Yes."

After the maid left, Funina's strong and arrogant demeanor quickly crumbled, and she slumped down like a wilted eggplant. Staring at the hydrological report in her hand, data concerning the life and death of Fontaine, which she would never have dared to be careless about in the past, she couldn't concentrate on reading a single word at this moment.

Glancing at the timetable on the table, Funina pouted.

"I don't want to invite that guy along."

...

The annual Fontaine Parade, commemorating Lady Funina's inauguration, was announced a month in advance. The Privy Council was in charge of coordinating the event, and the parade route was meticulously designed. Before heading to the next stop, the people there had already prepared flowers and applause.

Everyone was hoping that this parade would bring the Water Goddess, whose behavior had been somewhat strange lately, back to 'normal,' although to most people this 'normal' would seem more like abnormal, but that was the real Lady Funina.

Many people are actually speculating that this is a performance by Lady Funina to create a plot twist, and that she might suddenly shout "Wow!" during the parade to scare everyone.

That's more like Lady Funina.

But Su Chen knew that was definitely impossible.

He had originally planned to talk to Funina during the parade, but Funina's temper flared up and subsided quickly. However, someone from Momang Palace suddenly came to tell him that the Water God had ordered that his place on the parade vehicle be taken by Melusin.

While Melusin is certainly cuter as a mascot, but... Fryna, isn't this going too far? You're really going too far!

Having no other choice, Su Chen had to go to Mo Mang Palace himself, only to be told that Lady Funina had just left.

"She seems to be avoiding you."

Navigette, who had just returned from the opera house, saw Su Chen walking from the direction of Fernina's study and said, "But I feel that she is doing this because she values ​​you."

Su Chen laughed and said, "Not bad, Vilette, she already understands some social etiquette."

Villette thought to herself, "This has nothing to do with social etiquette. I'm not blind. Don't you two know how much you've shown off in front of me before?"

"Your body..." He hesitated for a moment, "Is there really no way? With your abilities, finding a way to prolong life shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Su Chen gently shook his head: "My problem is not that. Even if I prolong my life, I will eventually leave this world."

Navelette felt a mix of regret and sadness.

From a personal standpoint, he and Su Chen were friends, so naturally he hoped the latter could live on.

He is a water dragon independent of the world, a forbidden existence according to the laws of nature, unlike everyone else in Teyvat. This makes Navelet always feel lonely. He walks through the world, surrounded by people, but none of them can understand him.

Except for Su Chen.

Despite being human, they seem to know everything.

Could such a person really die because of their lifespan?

Navelette grew increasingly saddened by the thought.

The sky was overcast, and it started to rain in Fontainebleau.

Su Chen turned to look outside the palace and chuckled, "What, you're reluctant to part with me too?"

Navelette nodded: "You are one of my few friends."

"Friends... huh?"

If someone else had said this, Su Chen would have found it hypocritical, but Vilette was never the kind of person to lie.

"It's afternoon, shall we have a cup of tea together?"

"it is good."

...

[Seventh Rule Rewriting - Let the World Forget: Except for Frynn, erase all memories of Ryder Krause from Fontaine and correct the resulting effects... In progress... Decision failed.]

...

The water god's procession arrived as scheduled, and the entire Fontaine was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"Lady Funina, it's time to set off."

Inside the Mo Mang Palace, a maid spoke to Funina, who was standing by the corridor.

The latter hid behind a huge pillar, glancing out of the palace every now and then, as if searching for something. Hearing the maid's voice, Funina was startled.

"Is it almost time? How come it's so fast?"

"Quick? All the preparations are going according to plan, and..." The maid looked helpless, "You've been standing here for almost half an hour. If you're waiting for Master Ryder, why don't you send someone to the Privy Council to summon him?"

“Who, who’s looking for him!” Funina scoffed. “I’m just feeling the enthusiasm of my people. See those people down there? They’re all waiting for my arrival. Come on, Desna, let’s unveil this grand feast amidst the cheers of our people.”

"Yes, Lady Funina."

The moment the noble God of Justice stepped out of the Mo Mang Palace, a wave of applause and cheers immediately surged forth.

"Lady Funina!"

"Lady Funina!"

"..."

"..."

"Haha~ Very good, very good! Cheers for me, my people! Witness the moment my name—Fukaros—is born, and you will be honored to be remembered in history!"

Furna stood on the high platform, making her entrance with an exaggerated announcement as usual. As the sky-blue elemental power fell, Lord Uther, Lady Hevima, and Miss Shebeleda appeared in everyone's sight, dancing joyfully around her.

The people cheered as the magnificent parade slowly approached the platform and stopped in front of Funina.

As the long ladder descended, Funina strode up it with the pride of a fighting rooster.

Although her emotions were still in turmoil, she kept her mission in mind, and she was worried that if things went wrong because of this, it would cause more trouble for Ryder.

She desperately wanted to meet, but her temper tantrums led to a stalemate, a cold war in which she couldn't figure out how to break the deadlock—Furina's biggest failure.jpg

Seriously, they messed up Fryna, why did they have to remove Ryder from the roster?

Furnessa suddenly felt a little annoyed. This should have been the happiest time of her life, and Ryder should have been here too... That idiot Ryder, he actually didn't come after being rejected. Is he a turtle? Does he have to be poked to move?

As she was thinking, a tall, dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of her. She accidentally bumped into it and bounced back. When Funina looked up, she was stunned when she saw the 'big guy' in front of her.

"what is this?"

The maid explained, "Lady Funina, this is Melusin, who accompanied you on your tour."

Funina's eyes widened: "You call this Melusin?"

She's about 1.8 meters tall, and more importantly, she's quite large. These two points alone make her completely different from the petite and cute Melusin!

And how should I put it, the expression on her face was strange, a bit stiff, it didn't feel cute at all, it was more like terrifying.

The maid explained, "This is a Meloshen specially brought from Haimo Village. Its name is Sparta. They say it is a Meloshen that symbolizes beauty and wisdom. It has absorbed so much wisdom that it appears tall, but it is absolutely unique."

Drawing upon wisdom? That's why it's so great?

It does not make sense.

The tall Melissa waved to her.

Furina suddenly felt so tired. If Ryder were here, he would definitely not have let this terrible thing happen.

"Alright, alright, let's go." Funina shook her head and walked past Melusin.

The parade vehicle is a large vehicle filled with flowers and balloons, driven by a hybrid power system, somewhat like a winter-themed railcar, but without tracks. To navigate around the entire Fontainebleau, a highly skilled driver is needed to steer it.

As the parade vehicle started, looking at the large machine standing at the front controlling the direction, Funina was slightly taken aback: "This guy is actually quite useful."

The maid explained, "Because he is the most intelligent Melosin, and has almost no flaws except that he cannot speak."

"So ugly and you call yourself flawless?"...Funina thought to herself, but still said, "Well, intelligence can make up for other shortcomings... Keep it up, everyone, Melusin is a lovely race, and I, Fukaros, will protect you."

Sparta turned around and gave Frinina an OK sign.

Funina was amused: "Haha~ This guy is really funny. He doesn't seem like Melusin, he's more like a cute little puppy."

"ha..."

The maidservant felt ashamed, glanced at Sparta, and finally stood respectfully beside Funina.

Amidst the cheers of the people, as the parade vehicle moved forward, perhaps because the large Melusin had calmed her down, Funina was in good spirits and her interactions with the people went smoothly.

Since it was a memorial day for the water god, she could actually spend most of her time just sitting in the car drinking tea.

As the parade passed by, all sorts of performances could be seen along the way, including magic shows, operas, acrobatics, and more, with everyone's attention focused on the water goddess Funina.

She sat sideways in the chair, smiling, exuding nobility and elegance.

According to the plan, the parade will stop at three locations within Fontainebleau: the central square in the upper district, the Grey River, and finally at the waterway hub, where it will board a cruise ship to the Opiclie Opera House for the same parade.

The only rest time left for Funina was probably when she went to sleep at night, because even when she ate, countless eyes were watching her. If she had soul power comparable to that of a god, then the three-day tour would have passed in the blink of an eye, but she did not.

Even though all the people of Fontainebleau now believe she is the water goddess, there can be no mistakes in the details. Good habits require persistence and careful cultivation, but laziness can happen in the blink of an eye.

As night fell, the parade arrived at the waterway hub, and Funina moved in under the arrangement of the Privy Council. The moment the door closed, the girl's tense expression immediately relaxed.

"There shouldn't be anything wrong with it, right?"

She let out a heavy sigh of relief and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Only after recalling the day's events according to her usual routine and confirming that nothing had gone wrong did Funina collapse onto the bed.

"Ugh, what anniversaries? This is exhausting. I should have canceled it in the first place..."

"Let's cancel it next year."

I originally planned to be with Su Chen, but something went wrong. Not only did I not experience any joy, but I also had to endure mental stress several times greater than usual. It was not worth it either way.
