Chapter 193 Endless Solo Dance
——I never expected that this girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Funina, was just trying to get my attention!
For some reason, Finina easily extracted these words from Impas's expression.
"..." The corners of her mouth twitched, and she suddenly understood why she could become best friends with this guy in the future.
A sudden realization struck Funina. This was too simple! So friends were the kind that didn't require any thought to lie; they could convince themselves.
"You..." She opened her eyes and looked at Ming Chong's innocent and clear eyes. She naturally adopted a familiar tone and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
——But...this feeling doesn't seem bad either.
Thinking of this, Funina didn't notice that the smile on Ming Chong's lips deepened slightly.
"Hehe! I just think, what fun can there be on the commonplace Lake Fontaine." Funina coughed a few times and cleared her throat.
She pulled Ming Chong to the side a few steps as if nothing had happened. With every step, the lake surface rippled with shimmering water. Under the night sky, the water gradually changed layer by layer, reflecting deep and shallow light.
It was confirmed that it would not fall, just as Impas said.
——It does look fun.
Furninna felt a little itchy.
But now is not the time to relax. Details determine success or failure. Since I have already promised Fukaros to play the role of God, even before I stand on the stage, I can't leave any big mistakes!
She ignored her guilt towards her friend and spoke in a dismissive tone, "It's just like that. After staying in Fontaine for so long, it doesn't seem so new to me anymore."
"Impas, don't you think this place is too boring with its empty space and flatness? If I could watch a play here, it wouldn't be completely useless."
Ming Chong seemed to be thinking about something, suppressing his laughter and nodding, "You're right."
Then, he smiled cunningly, causing the sense of crisis in Finina's heart to grow wildly again. He snapped his fingers with his other hand.
"The fun has just begun!"
The surroundings were as calm as a mirror, and the lake water that met the night suddenly gushed upwards as if boiling.
Funina's eyes opened wide, and the next second Ming Chong pulled her to run again. She took big strides, stepping on the surging waves under her feet, and was pushed higher and higher by the force under her feet.
The hem of her dress and the bow fluttered in the wind, and she could faintly smell the water vapor at the tip of her nose.
"Funina! You said you were tired of playing on the water, but you definitely aren't tired of playing on the wind or in the sky!" Ming Chong turned around and raised his eyebrows at her proudly.
"Have you ever been on a—trapeze?!"
As he spoke, Ming Chong took her hand and threw her upwards, then let go with a laugh. Funina's pupils suddenly shrank, her body was too light and she had no foothold at all.
She opened her arms in the air and took a deep breath, trying her best to calm herself down.
How strange! It was clearly dangerous. Yet, she seemed to be seduced by the wind in her ears and wanted to scream...
Before that, Ming Chong made a trumpet and shouted at her—
"I've been to Nata! Funina! The trapeze artists there don't have the most beautiful moves like you!"
Finina couldn't help but pay attention to him. He stepped back and jumped into the air, then ran towards her step by step in the air.
"Don't worry, I can definitely catch you! Do two somersaults! Fontaine's future superstar, let me see what you're made of!"
"I..." Furninna had just begun to speak when the cold night air filled her mouth. She took a deep breath and closed her mouth again. She opened her eyes, and the light in them was astonishingly bright.
——If it’s just playing with friends.
She glanced at Ming Chong again, who was so excited that his mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear, and seemed to be infected by him, and couldn't help but try it.
Close your eyes and yell, "Show, start!"
With her body as the axis, she used her arms to spin several times, and the back of her dress jacket caught the wind, like layers of petticoats.
"Wow!" The guy who claimed to be a friend clapped and cheered wildly.
She did not lose her balance, nor did she fall into Lake Fontaine. At the same time, Funina felt that the wind had become gentle and kind.
A little joy rose in her heart.
"Hey, hey—Funina!" She lowered her head and saw Impas's face getting closer and closer, his eyes sparkling. "It's my turn!"
Then, his hand sank, and Impas's brilliant smile in front of him paused for less than a second, and Finina was immediately pulled down a height.
“Ahhhhhh——” Finina fell down in panic and felt her body sinking again.
"Wuhu——!!!" Ming Chong didn't use any strength, but waved his hands and feet excitedly.
Nata's aerialist, traveler A Chong, is a veteran. But he himself is not, and he has never experienced a double spiral flight...
"Impas, you liar! You said you would catch it—"
Before she could finish her words, Finina's tearful eyes saw Impas's falling face again, and her heart tightened.
He just smiled brightly, "Funina, it's your turn!"
“Ahhhhhh—”
…
Ming Chong failed to appease Funina in the end, he only made himself happy.
"I told you long ago... I don't want to play anymore!" Furninna collapsed exhausted on the grass, gazing at the dawn in the distance, lost in thought. "Does spiral flight require two people?"
I didn't coax her, but I didn't have the energy to be angry.
"This is what two people play!" Ming Chong lay beside her and moved his legs to bump into the person next to him.
After being kicked, Funina said: ...
She turned her head away and didn't want to pay attention to him. She still wanted to be angry, but Finina already knew that Impas had shared his power with her.
She didn't know what kind of mood Impas was in when he shared his power with her.
If Impas had known from the beginning that she was weak and that she had been deceiving him from the beginning... he would still have believed her lies about Lake Fontaine.
"Impas, if, if..." Finina opened her mouth, paused, and changed her tone when the words came to her lips.
"If I'm not as powerful a demon as you think, you—"
Ming Chong scratched his forehead, which was a little itchy from being touched by the lush grass, and also scratched Funina's forehead.
Seeing that he had calmed down again after tickling her, Funina still said the following sentence, "Do you think I lied to you?"
"Hmm..." Ming Chong blinked. "Funina, the question you asked doesn't seem to be related to the previous hypothesis."
"...Anyway, you have to answer!"
"Okay... So which one is more important, the front or the back?"
“…the one behind.”
"Won't."
"What a quick answer!"

Ming Chong couldn't help laughing, because his head tilted back involuntarily while lying down, and the dew on the grass leaves dripped directly into his throat.
"Cough... cough!" Ming Chong smacked the remaining fresh taste in his mouth and recalled the question again.
Just like when he was testing Funina's command power, he realized belatedly that there was something wrong with her expression before. Ming Chong has always thought differently from ordinary people.
Perhaps it was because he had seen too many gods, of various types, so he did not naturally assume that gods must possess extraordinary powers. Instead, he subconsciously regarded all intelligent life as being equal to himself or humans.
Simply analyzing Funina's problem, the target is the demon, and he knows a lot of weak demons that are not good at conquering.
Heulia, Hagentus, Baal, Narcida...
So, he repeated the answer, "No. I don't think you've deceived me, Funina."
"You know, I can travel through time." Ming Chong rested his head on his arm and explained calmly, "I've seen many gods, and they also have things they're not good at. Some are weak, and some are strong..."
Finina turned her head to look at him, listening to him quietly, but sadness involuntarily appeared between her brows.
"Although... I don't know what you're worried about, Finina. But even if you're not one of the Seven Rulings of the Earthly Realm, or the Water Devil, I will help you if you want."
Ming Chong said nonchalantly, "As long as the others don't know yet, I'll help you kill that guy while the first Water God has just died and no new Water God has emerged. Then you will become the only true Water God."
"..." Funina didn't speak for a long time.
After a while, she suddenly laughed out loud. "What the hell is this? Impas, you don't understand at all."
"You didn't understand! I'm serious, Funina, I'm very strong!" Ming Chong was a little dissatisfied. He shook his ankles and exerted force, lazily and persistently leading Funina's foot close to him to shake left and right.
After pestering her for a long time, Finina finally spoke again, "There is no other water god. I am the real water god."
After waiting for a while, when Funina really had nothing else to say, Ming Chong withdrew his suspicious gaze.
In fact, after listening to Impas' words, the seemingly calm Funina's thoughts flew uncontrollably to what Fukaros had said to her.
——“Remember, the problem before you is not how to explore “divinity”, but how to fight against “humanity”.” [1]
There was a gentle breeze and the sky was getting brighter as dawn broke. The Fontainebleau, which had been swirling with dark clouds recently, gradually calmed down.
Finina slowly closed her eyes, and she suddenly understood what this sentence meant.
If her friend Inpas's way of thinking is regarded as "divine", then what she needs to do is to resolve the confusion in her heart caused by this answer.
In short, it is to quell all doubts.
…
…
"Hey, did you hear any noise coming from Fontaine Lake last night?"
"W-what's that noise? I don't know, I didn't hear anything!"
"Don't be afraid, it's not a monster! Did you know? Last night, the patrol boats searched back and forth with their lights on for a long time and found that the monsters hiding in the water were floating on their stomachs in the lake!"
"Huh? What's going on here? Could it be... the legendary... 'Sirens dancing alone by the water'?"
"A water monster? Tsk, you're really behind the times! Don't you know the Navy Commander-in-Chief has returned?"
"According to the remaining naval investigation, this kind of movement is not left by any monster or monster—"
"Th-what could that be?"
"It's... Shin-Ren-Sui-Gen!"
Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Besser, was a bit troubled. "How did all this news get out? Don't you think Fontaine isn't in chaos enough right now?"
