Chapter 237: A Day in the Life of Fernina
"Lady Finina, you have a tea party this afternoon." Sedna knocked on the door and reminded her after a moment, "This is an important matter you asked me to remind you of yesterday."
"Okay, okay, I got it! Thank you, Sedna." Furniture sat at the desk with her chin in her hands, feeling uneasy.
The person looked fine, but he had actually been gone for a while.
What's going on? Isn't Impas supposed to be out of the question? Why did the news from the water reveal his whereabouts?
Her eyes flickered, alternating between aqua blue and sea blue. After a while, Funina rubbed her eyes.
Still no use, no way to see more. She still wasn't very proficient in using this power.
brake--
Finina suddenly stood up from her chair, put one hand on her waist, covered her eyes with the other, and laughed strangely, "Hehehehe—finally I got my chance!"
"Meet your punishment in Fontaine!!!"
Recalling a strange memory, Furninna had a clue. Although she didn't know what Impas's words, when he'd rushed over to her in a rage, meant, it must have been a good thing for her.
"not good!"
Back to reality, Funina shuddered, "I have an appointment to have afternoon tea with the children today!"
During the day, she had to take care of Peluviri, Crevy, and Navia. When Clorinde didn't have to act as a duel agent, she mostly followed Funina as a guard, and her rest time was quite flexible.
As for the child far under the water of Lake Fontaine, Funina had already made up her mind. She would go to the head nurse, Miss Sigwen, to visit him in the evening and ask about his recent situation.
After all, living underwater, you will always miss the sun above the water.
——Recently, Finina has read a lot of books, all of which are the experiences sent back by Miss Melusinmenea who is far away in Nata, such as the legend of the mysterious island circulating near the "Crowd of Flowing Springs".
The mysterious island that cannot be found, if it is not in the sky, then it must be in the water... What's more, even if it is in a different time and space, Funina is confident that she can find it.
But that's not the problem we need to solve now.
In short, the water god, who has acquired sufficient theoretical knowledge, is now confident that he can open a hole in the water flow above Fontaine Lake and Merlot Peterburg.
Finina thought with pity: It doesn't matter that you couldn't see the sun before, child. There's nothing your weak old mother can do. This little thing can be done with a little effort.
Today was originally planned, but I really don’t know what kind of accidents will happen later... Funina hurriedly took the household packing boxes, and also took the time to worry about a bad friend who only cared about taking children away but not raising them.
Forget it, never mind!
Finina shook her head, her chest puffed out with a heroic air, "Even if my prank is successful, can he still eat me?"
I recalled my past memories related to Impas again, and sure enough, there was nothing more extreme than that defense breakdown.

As for why she had insisted that Impas would not appear again, Funina had always believed that after that time more than ten years ago, the next meeting must be the time when she would usher in the end... Otherwise, why would he be so emotional?
Therefore, she made a lot of mental preparations for herself and was indeed cautiously planning to raise the little wolf Ming Fushou well.
Yes, at that time, Furninha awkwardly and wordlessly opened up part of her true self to the child.
After all, he was the only child handed over to her by her who treated her as a friend, regardless of whether he was a water god or not.
The little wolf was not the first child that Fernina had raised. Before that, a long time ago, in Fernina's earliest memory, she had lived with the children of Narcissus Cross Court.
At that time, she was still an "apprentice" water god who made many mistakes in front of the talented and meticulous children.
——A water god who only has power but doesn't know how to use it.
At that time, there were two such talented and thoughtful children in Fontaine.
Even now, apart from the little trick of opening vortex gates everywhere, the only way for Finina to use the power given by Impas is what the first few children helped her develop.
…
"Funny, are you planning to keep everything to yourself from now on and not tell anyone at all?"
"But for the Water God, this is what I should do most, compared to governing or anything else."
"...You're going to be very tired, Funi. From a completely blank slate to a powerful being capable of controlling power... Do you know how much sacrifice you'll have to make?"
"I didn't expect it would be your turn to say this to me... Little Rennie, what did you calculate?"
“…”
The precocious genius turned away and said nothing more.
"Then I won't ask that question. But what should you call me? Although you have left Narcissus Cross Court, you are still Fontaine's child, my child. Isn't it?"
"Okay, okay... I understand, Mother Funi."
"So, Reni, can you tell me now? What brought you to Momang Palace this time?"
"...I plan to enter the deepest water system of Fontaine, Funi. Don't stop me. I will save Fontaine in my own way. After this, if you need anything [Association], go to Jacob."
…
Before entering the Debo Hotel, Funina checked the takeaway boxes.
[Garlic Cheese Baked Mushrooms]? Check!
Tea party theme, [Soft Bell Flower Dew]? Check!
Very good, even the special [spice pack] that was going to be delivered to Melo Petersburg in the evening is there!
Furninna nodded with satisfaction and took a confident step forward, "Claulinde, let's go!"
Turning around, she found Clorinde, who had already turned her back to the entrance of the Debo Hotel, legs planted on the ground, ready to go. Funina said, "Uh... there's no need to be like that, Clorinde. I only leave things behind the first time because I'm unfamiliar with the place! Besides, I can open the door and get back myself!"
Clorinde glanced at Fernina and explained seriously, "That's why I have to hurry and set off before Lady Fernina takes action. After all, even gathering strength takes time."
“…”
Fortunately, everything went smoothly afterwards——
"Can I use [Persuasion] on him?" Navia pointed at the floral dew on the table, her eyes so determined that she could almost join the Fontaine Academy of Sciences.
The project we drew for this tea party was the one recommended by Clorinde - "Table Theater", with the theme of "Perfume Fever", which was based on the "Augustus" case from more than ten years ago.
It was agreed that the party would be held at the Debo Hotel, and Funina still had a bit of an air of a water goddess outside, so in order to have a greater sense of participation, she not only served as the host this time, but also wrote the script.
Before, whenever Funina thought about it, she felt sad.
Having many children is inconvenient. It was like this more than 400 years ago, and it is still like this now.
In the past, there were more strong-willed boys, so they didn't need to be raised too carefully. To be precise, it was basically Funina who was being raised.
But now, times have changed. Whether it is a strong girl or a strong-willed boy, they are all very soft-hearted.
The old mother, who looked very old at a young age, prepared Pepe's favorite dish, "Garlic Cheese Roasted Mushrooms" - at first, Pepe was so absorbed in martial arts that he had no interest in eating, so he just accommodated the cooking skills of the Water God. The dish was simple and delicious, and was more than enough to fill a warrior's stomach with snacks.
Then I wrote the script for "Table Theater" for Clorinde, and took Crevy into consideration and made some adjustments, replacing the "Augustus" perfume with "Soft Bell Dew".
In the perfume world, the entire plant of the Soft Light Bell plant is poisonous. Despite its delicate, long-lasting, and gentle fragrance, it's still not used as a primary ingredient by conscientious perfumers. Therefore, perfumers often create supplementary fragrances or blend "harmonic notes" to approximate this scent.
However, it cannot be said that Funina has no conscience, she is just skilled and bold.

——I don’t have a sure-fire way to save Fontaine for now, but can’t I do anything to you, a little Roudengling?
With the props ready, the only thing left was Navia. Considering her past success with the "Table Theater Company," Finina "borrowed" her own eye skills from a video camera.
As long as you pass the judgment, you can directly use the camera to take a photo (persuasion), and the answer after "persuasion" will be marked on the photo - this saves the host from improvising!
Furninna: I'm so smart!
The water is ready and the trouble is saved!
Quietly applauding.jpg
"Ahem!" Finina coughed twice majestically and flipped open the [Fate Check Card]. "The check is a great success. OK."
Navia murmured "yes" and grabbed the camera prop that she had wanted to play with for a long time.
"Wait, are you actually trying to convince me?" Krevy, caught in the camera's crosshairs, was startled and immediately raised her hand. "I'm a good person! Host, did Navia really not break the rules?"
"Of course! Don't worry! These are all necessary checks. I, Navia, will never wrongly accuse a good person! They are all Rou Dengling, maybe they are related!"
Navia simply nodded, "So maybe you have a hidden identity!"
Finina turned her back silently, making the same little gesture as Navia did before.
—Great! I guessed it right! Thanks also to Clorinde for helping me predict Navia's behavior.
The corners of Peruvili's mouth rose, but suddenly, she stopped smiling, her eyes became stern, and she noticed a direction behind her.
——
"Cesar! You're eating here too!" Ming Chong's eyes lit up, and he rushed over for a bear hug. "What a coincidence! My half-brother and I came here to meet our stepfather! Interesting, isn't it?"
The magician, who is both virtuous and talented, coughed when being photographed, and he couldn't help laughing so hard that his beard moved.
"I didn't expect you to be so happy to see me that you're speechless! Hahahaha!" Ming Chong laughed with his hands on his hips.
Kavi held his mother's hand, looked at his brother hesitantly, then looked at his mother, and then looked at his brother again.
"A Chong... So you already know Mr. Cesar?"
"...Hmm?" Ming Chong's smile gradually disappeared, and he made a nasal sound of confusion similar to the cry of a goose.
Cesar's laughter subsided, and he patted Ming Chong on the shoulder. He said sincerely, "Yes, I said a long time ago that I wanted a child like Ah Chong. I didn't expect that my wish would come true..."
"You got what you want, shovel." Ming Chong dodged Cesar's hand.
