Just then, a 'ding-dong' sound echoed in Alex's mind, and then his phone appeared in mid-air, floating before his eyes as if waiting to be picked up.
After Alex took the phone, the lit screen instantly glowed with a brilliant blue light.
The next moment, a large blue and white megaphone appeared in Alex's hand.
???
Alex was initially bewildered, wondering what it meant. After a brief thought, he roughly guessed it.
He probably touched the Statue of The Seven, and the megaphone was given to him so he could shout for a Vision louder... Now, inside the Opera House.
"Yes, and here! Hmph hmph~ Touching and embracing the Statue of The Seven of Fontaine without permission. I think a new law should be added to Fontaine's new legal code, Article 1314. I think it should be a direct death sentence, Neuvillette, let's settle on that!" Furina put her left hand on her hip and pointed her right hand at Neuvillette.
This man was truly detestable; he didn't even spare the Statue of The Seven. It made her furious! Furina clenched her fists in her heart, really wanting to punch him twice.
Neuvillette remained silent; he was used to it, truly used to it. Whenever Furina was present for a trial, a new law was proposed daily, and the starting punishment was always a death sentence.
"The proposal is invalid. No legislation will be enacted for actions that do not cause damage to the Statue of The Seven... Regarding the act of embracing the Statue of The Seven, we do not advocate or support it."
"Alright." Furina's voice softened; Neuvillette was right about everything.
After the small interlude, Alex continued to narrate: "Yes, the megaphone appeared out of thin air under the Statue of The Seven. I thought, this must be guidance from a God, wanting me to use the megaphone to say it!"
"So???" Furina, in the plaintiff's seat in the Opera House, crossed her arms against her chest and clenched her fists: "You said Focalors, you said I was... your wife?!"
"Bang!" Furina, wearing black and white gloves, slammed her hands on the wooden table in front of her.
"How... incredibly audacious!"
Furina's face was still slightly flushed at this moment, she didn't know if it was from anger or embarrassment.
The large cowlick on her head swayed many times; this was a scene that wouldn't be seen in the game's plot.
Looking at the cute appearance of his 'wife' Furina in front of him, Alex could barely suppress his excitement. This was truly too unfair! Was this the real-life second dimension bonus? Ah, I'm dead!
However, speaking of which, he was indeed terribly tricked. Who would have thought he'd be arrested for a trial right at the beginning?
If he could go back, he'd really want to punch his past self twice. What was he thinking saying that?
And this megaphone was cursed. Right after saying "Focalors is my wife!!!" and "I am Focalors' dog!!!" these two sentences.
Before he could even receive a reward, the entire sky around him echoed with his words, not only that, but it echoed three times! Three times!
Anyone who didn't know would think I got the first kill in a virtual game and it was a server-wide announcement.
Then, before Alex could hide, he hadn't run far when he ran into the Damselette, the person involved, returning from the Opera House with a very, very big older sister... So now, admitting it is impossible to admit! Now he can only bluff and see if he can get away with it.
"The first thing I said was, 'Focalors' is my wife. As far as I know, this lovely lady is named Furina, right? So, if I say Focalors, what does that have to do with Lady Furina?" Alex said with a righteous expression.
Indeed, it's like saying 'you arrested Zhou Mou, what does that have to do with me, Zhou Shuren?'
"At most, I'm shouting within the Fontaine region. Fontaine's law certainly doesn't say that one cannot shout across the entire nation, does it?"
Indeed, this was Alex's confidence. After all, who in Teyvat had the ability to make two sentences echo across the entire sky, heard by all of Fontaine? Alex doubted even the Geo Archon could do it. So, how could this be illegal?
"Wah~~~" The scene erupted in an uproar.
Everyone started discussing with their companions, each holding their own opinion, and the entire venue became noisy.
It made sense, it made sense. In the end, everyone in the audience uniformly agreed that it made sense. Although there wasn't a second person named Focalors in Teyvat, considering it had already been confirmed that the person in the defendant's seat was not from Teyvat, it might be different outside this world.
"Silence! Silence!" It wasn't until two otter-like sounds came that the crowd quieted down.
After listening to a long account of the cause and course of events, the defendant's argument was concluded.
The Oratrice Mécanique d'Analyse Cardinale began to operate at this moment, its tilted state suddenly returning to a normal, balanced position.
This indicated that if the plaintiff had no further refutations, the debate could be declared over and a verdict reached.
Furina's expression was calm, but inwardly she was losing confidence.
Ah, what should I do? Even I think it makes so much sense. Aside from the content, if it can't constitute slander, at most it can only be treated as disturbing public order. He might even just pay a fine and be released, without needing to go to jail.
This won't do, absolutely not!
"Ha, don't you know?! I, Furina, am the Hydro Archon of Fontaine, whose God name is Focalors! The God of justice, loved and revered by all!" Furina naturally became spirited as she reached the end of her statement. Her entire being exuded an aura of 'I'm very powerful,' almost glowing from behind.
Alex listened to the somewhat familiar words. What a coincidence, he had seen this scene not long ago. Looking at the triumphant Furina, he liked her more and more. When the heart is moved, it tends to stay moved.
Then Alex also subconsciously replied: "I know! My wife!"
Righteous and confident! You are not allowed to snatch her from me!
The Oratrice Mécanique d'Analyse Cardinale instantly lost its balance, tilting completely to one side again.
It wasn't until the quiet court once again became boisterous that Alex reacted.
Oh no!
Alex froze. He was too engrossed in looking at his wife and accidentally blurted out the truth. How could he fix this? He wished for a cheat to rewind time! Save this child!
Furina tilted her head and twitched her cowlick twice: "Since you don't know..." Furina paused, her one deep and one light blue heterochromatic eyes trembling slightly.
What's going on, what's going on? This person actually dared to say he knew!
If he had pretended not to know, she could have explained it as a case of the same name and then shown the magnanimity of a God. She could have found a way to let him stay in a luxurious single room in Meropide Fortress for free.
She didn't expect that at this final stage, he would actually openly admit to knowing! This implied that... he truly meant that she was his wife in his heart.
Ah, ya ya ya!
Furina was incredibly nervous. This was the first time she had encountered such a pervert who called her his wife without ever having met her.
Although she was indeed a big star in Fontaine, loved by everyone, she had never seen anyone directly call her 'wife.'
One could only say he was truly an outsider.
She completely didn't know how to respond. Furina's body even turned slightly; she was starting to feel shy and wanted to escape from here.
A play with herself as the protagonist truly had no fun at all; she had even become someone else's entertainment. Things suddenly became boring.
Unhappy. Let's just end this quickly.
"Since you know and still dare to say such things, what's the point of continuing the debate? Let's just announce the verdict!" Furina put her hands on her hips and looked at Neuvillette.
Neuvillette didn't speak but looked at the defendant, Mr. Alex: "Then, Mr. Alex, the defendant, do you have anything else you wish to say?"
Alex took a deep breath and replied: "Yes!"
Since he had already admitted it, why not be bolder? Going to jail wasn't as scary as he imagined, and Sigewinne was there, hehehe.
"What I want to say is..."
The entire venue quieted down. Furina also tilted her head and pricked up her ears, wanting to hear what Alex would say in the end.
"I will always! Always love Focalors, and always love Furina!
More than anyone else in Teyvat. Until the world perishes, my resolve will not waver in the slightest!
I will dedicate my life to protecting Fufu. Protecting Fufu, so that she will never cry!"
At the end, Alex, swearing with his hand on his chest, spread his arms towards the sky.
"This is my worth and meaning in coming to Teyvat. This is the supreme justice I uphold in my heart!!!"
"Eh???" Furina's small head was completely blank.
"Now, you can all cheer to your heart's content!!!" That's right, in the end, Alex even added a Furina-style closing.
Honestly, saying these words in this packed Opera House, with people even squeezed into the aisles and open spaces, felt incredibly satisfying!
Alex was absolutely ecstatic! He wasn't socially anxious at all~ As long as he wasn't embarrassed, they were the ones who would be.
