Chapter 3 - The Knave and Furina (1/2)

[Xiao: Such an extravagant god.]

[Lyney: As expect of Lady Furina (facepalm).]

[Lynette: Brother, you still haven't gotten used to this, have you?]

[The Knave: Hydro Archon, it is an honor to communicate with you here. Fontaine's prophecy has already entered its next stage. Yet in our observations, you remain so leisurely—drinking tea, eating cake. Is this truly appropriate? The prophecy is like a guillotine over everyone's head. All factions in Fontaine are searching for ways to prevent disaster, or to save themselves. Even the children from the House of Hearth are doing their utmost to rescue their homeland. And you? As the Fatui's The Knave, I find it shocking that you take no action.]

[Furina: (shaking her head) No, I have never taken the prophecy lightly, nor have I spent my days idly. Withdraw your accusation, Knave. Do not make assumptions about a god.]

[The Knave: I am not the only one with doubts. Thousands upon thousands of citizens from Fontaine may share the same question. Hydro Archon, how will you save them? How will you save us? How will you ensure that your people can survive on this land, on the verge of sinking?]

[Furina: I have my own way. I have long been working toward it. Even if you underestimate me, you have no right to deny me. Fontaine will be saved. Even if I cannot yet see the true future, as long as I continue as I am, I will remain worthy before all.]

[The Knave: (chuckling) Then may I ask, Lady Furina, where might one witness the results of your efforts?]

[Furina: I...]

[Klee: Lady Furina and The Knave are arguing in the live comments. Klee doesn't understand it.]

[Ningguang: The Knave? I've heard a little about them—they are one of the Fatui's Harbingers from Snezhnaya, known for being cunning.]

[Jean: The Fatui again... May Mondstadt remain safe.]

[Xiangling: From their conversation, it seems The Knave genuinely cares about Fontaine.]

[Keqing: The Fatui are dangerous and cunning; caution is necessary.]

[Lyney: That's not true! My father and I have been working tirelessly to help Fontaine in our own way!]

[Lynette: Father isn't a bad person, I promise.]

[Navia: Wait, the title is "Tear-Jerking Moments"! Could there be something hidden here, we don't know?]

[Furina: Hahaha! I am the Hydro Archon. There is no hidden truth here. Fontaine and its people are safe.]

[Yae Miko: (smiling) The video is about to start. Let's watch carefully. It may provide inspiration for my new novel, "Daughter of the Sea."]

...

The crowd in the live room was full of discussion.

Since many were experiencing live-stream comments for the first time, the room was especially lively.

Not to mention—the star of this video is a god!

Even viewers with little interest in gossip could not resist watching a god's story.

For a moment, everyone was full of anticipation.

Meanwhile, on the white screen, a colorful scene appeared.

The screen showed Lumine and Paimon.

[Paimon: After breakfast, a little rest... life is so relaxing! Wait, wasn't there something important today?]

[Lumine: Right, today is the big day we leave Mondstadt. We have to handle the reception procedures quickly—we already have an appointment.]

Lumine and Paimon walked toward the reception area.

[Paimon: Traveler, look! We've appeared on the screen!]

[Lumine: Indeed. I don't remember ever being in this place before.]
