Chapter 131
Man in the mirror: Yes~ That's right, you know it very well.
Funina: What's going on? My memory seems to be all vague, but I remember this prophecy very clearly... Will the content of the prophecy really happen?
Man in the mirror: Yes, that's why I came to you. The disaster of Fontaine will happen sooner or later, and everything will develop as predicted, and there is no escape.
Funina was very worried about Fukaros' words. After all, no one likes such a disaster.
Funina: Isn't that serious? Everyone will die? As a Fontaine person, will I also dissolve?
Man in the mirror: Hehehe... Don't worry, the reason why the adventures in the world exist is to bring a turn for the world. Just like you met me today. I will tell you a way to save everyone, but... you may also have to endure some pain...
[Esther: Uh, five hundred years of acting is called some pain? 】
Funina: So there is still hope for salvation, I was scared to death, seeing that you were so confident before. As for the pain... well... although the first thought in my mind is why I have to suffer... but anyway, if the prophecy really comes true, I will die, right? What's more, the "adventure" has already found me. If there is a scale, one end is the lives of all the people of Fontaine, and the other end is my own pain, there is no need to think about which side the scale will tilt, right?
Man in the mirror: Hehe... you are indeed the most perfect human being, my "ideal". This may be your "justice", right?
Funina: Hmm...?
Man in the mirror: Nothing. Listen carefully, Fontaine has just lost the water god, and I need you to "play" the role of the new water god.
Funina: Play... God?
Funina was also very surprised when she heard what she said in the mirror.
Man in the mirror: Yes, you have to keep... keep acting, and don't let anyone doubt your identity. If you can do it, I have a way to fight against the prophecy... But once your identity is exposed, the last hope will disappear.
[Kiana: So this is why she always said she was the God of Water. No wonder she was so sad when her identity was exposed. ]
Funina: But how can this be done? Playing the role of a God as a human, and not being exposed...
The Man in the Mirror: Don't worry, you don't have to turn yourself into a real God. You just have to play the role of a God in the imagination of humans. You are also a human, so you should know what that is like. Remember, the problem before you is not how to explore "divinity", but how to fight against "humanity".
Funina: Uh... I may still not understand it a little, but I will try to do it. So, when will my role as the God of Water end?
The Man in the Mirror: In order to complete this task, you may experience a long time, and you will not grow old before the day it ends. And I promise you that everything will end in a grand, dramatic trial, and everyone will be saved.
[Hanabi: Hahaha... That's right. The water god that has been worshipped for hundreds of years is pretending in public. It's really dramatic. ]
Funina: Trial... It's really exciting and exciting. (No, I know you were forced by Fukaros. Come on, I like you too, not just Walnut. Hug!)
Funina came to the throne of the water god and looked at the people below.
Funina (Huh... Although the Privy Council has already announced that I will succeed the water god, this is the first time I face the people directly... Inauguration Speech... How can I be like a god? To be honest, I don't have any idea yet. Anyway, I'll act naturally...)
Funina: Ahem... Uh, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Opicolai Opera House tonight. I believe you have heard about my succession to the water god. Yes, I am Funina de Fontaine, your new water god. I have no experience in becoming a new god of a country, and I am honored to guide you. As the demon god Fukaros, who is also the god of justice, I will do my best to bring you a fair and just era. Thank you again for coming. If you have any questions or opinions in the future, please submit them to the Privy Court. The future of Fontaine requires everyone's joint efforts. (Huh~ Should this be enough...? I originally thought I would stutter, but fortunately I successfully expressed my thoughts in the end. Next...)
Funina was very nervous. On the one hand, she was afraid that she would be exposed on the spot, and on the other hand, she was afraid that the people would not recognize her as the water god.At this moment, beams of light shone on the seats below the stage, followed by voices of doubt, sarcasm, disappointment and suspicion.
Doubting audience: Is this the new water god? Could it be that the Privy Council is fooling us... As a god higher than humans, I thought he would be more powerful...
Sarcastic audience: Well, did you hear that? She even asked us to give her suggestions at the end...
Disappointed audience: Aren't gods supposed to be omnipotent? She is so humble... What's the difference between her and ordinary people?
Doubting audience: I guess... maybe there is no new water god at all, but a puppet pushed up by the Privy Council?
After hearing what the people below the stage said, Funina also began to get anxious.
Funina: (Wait... What's going on? Everyone is doubting me? This is going to be a disaster. If we are exposed... No one can be saved from the prophecy... Oh, the "me in the mirror" said... I just need to play the god imagined by humans... Calm down, Funina... Think carefully, what kind of god do the people want, what they imagine... The image of a strong, presentable, able to dispel all doubts... The image I am destined to play...)
After exhaling, Funina held her stomach and laughed a few times, her voice became exaggerated, and everyone's eyes turned to her in an instant.
Funina: Hahahaha... Not bad, not bad, my people, only you are worthy of my rule. I was thinking before, if one day a cowardly puppet came on this stage and claimed to be the owner of this opera house, would the people of Fontaine obey? Now it seems... Very good, you are not that kind of boring guys, and you are also qualified to witness those wonderful trials with me in this opera house! Well, the "performance" just now was a welcome gift for everyone, and I think it was an appearance that fits the atmosphere of the opera house. Next, let me give a new speech!
When Funina finished speaking, the audience suddenly realized it, and ushered in a big reversal.
Audience who suddenly realized: So it was just a performance, no wonder, I forgot that this is an opera house...
Audience who recognized: The new god is so unique, I was shocked, but it is better than the cowardly image before...
Satisfied audience: A god who is both interesting and courageous, it's great, I should be more assured in the future...
As the audience spoke, the lights in the audience gradually went out.
