"Furina, what does this mean? Could it really be a World Bubble?"…"Hmph, what a god knows is far beyond your imagination! What you've described is merely a corner of this world. Don't be confused, after all, even I, as a god, dare not claim to have fully glimpsed and understood the entire world." Furina faced Alex's confusion without a hint of panic.
"To be fair, indeed." Alex nodded in response.
Then the scene fell into a period of silence.
"And then?" Furina leisurely picked up a green cake from the table and took a bite.
Seeing Alex look at him, she couldn't help but ask, "Want one?"
"Then I won't be polite!" Alex unceremoniously pulled over a chair from the side, then picked up the green cake that Furina had just taken a small bite out of.
The Abyss Maw activated: "Nom nom~"
!!! Furina watched Alex stuff the entire cake into his mouth, his eyes wide.
It was the cake I had eaten! And it was the first time I had ever seen someone dare to eat a cake I had already bitten into right in front of me, even though I was just being polite.
"It tastes really good!" Alex nodded. As expected of a dessert Furina would offer, it tasted excellent.
Furina conjured a new cake out of thin air and placed it on the table.
"Gulp gulp~" Alex simultaneously picked up the teacup beside him and drained it.
The warm black tea was also very delicious.
After a slight pause, Furina conjured a teapot. She refilled the teacup Alex had used with black tea.
"Thank you." Alex politely replied, then continued, "Hmph, honestly. In our world, we call people we really like 'wife'. I really, truly just said that casually at the time, to express my excitement about transmigrating to Fontaine—even though I couldn't play it, I would soon see Focalors with my own eyes."
"Casually said!? You 'casually said' it so everyone could hear?" Clearly, even Alex could hear the annoyance in Furina's tone.
"Also, what does 'even though I couldn't play it' mean?"
Oh, how annoying. As expected, transmigrators who talk too much are bound to make mistakes. It's truly one thing after another; these "natives" always find strange things in their words.
"It just means, like, dolls! You've seen figurines, right?"
"Dolls, figurines… We don't have those in Fontaine. I heard they're very popular in Inazuma and Liyue. Everyone in Fontaine likes clockwork mechanism models." Furina mused.
"Please spare me! It was truly an accident. I really, really like you! Otherwise, I wouldn't have used a loudspeaker to say 'Focalors is my wife, I am Focalors's dog'."
Actually, Alex felt it had to do with the location. If he had first appeared in Inazuma, the female lead would definitely have become Kamisato Ayaka.
I am a nimble dog in the mountains!
"Oh no! Why are you saying that again!" Even though there was no one else around, Furina still felt very shy hearing those two sentences.
"You're not allowed to say that again in the future! Becoming your wife is impossible, I am a god!"
No, I want to make you my wife. This is equivalent to being rejected after a confession. Rejected once in front of everyone, and now rejected again in private. It's so painful, I'm going to be depressed.
"Wuwuwu!" Alex, greatly struck, transformed into a whining monster. He looked pitifully at Furina.
It was Furina's first time being attacked by a whining monster, and being soft-hearted, she didn't immediately strike back: "Oh, alright, alright. Didn't you also want to be my dog? Well then, I will specially permit you to be my dog, is that enough?"
"Wow! Fufu, you must be an angel! This is truly amazing! I love you to death!" Alex's heart was completely softened. How could such a wonderful person exist? As expected of a goddess from the two-dimensional world, truly perfect.
Furina was a bit overwhelmed by Alex's enthusiastic assault. Even as a big star, she had never encountered such a fan: "Hey~! …Stop talking!"
Of course, Furina wouldn't encounter someone like Alex, after all, she was also the God of Fontaine.
Who would dare to rush her? Only stars who are ordinary people, like Barbara next door, would have people dare to rush them so directly. Wouldn't you agree, Albert?
Albert: Indeed, indeed, Barbara is easy to rush, everyone rush with me!
Ah, so Albert played so wildly and perversely?
Albert: ???
Furina felt she needed to set some rules for her "dog," otherwise, she didn't know what outrageous actions or words he might come up with next.
"Hmph, first point, no more calling me Fufu in the future! What kind of address is that? It's too, too intimate. I am a god, after all. In front of others, for you to call me Fufu is far too undignified."
"Okay, Fufu, I understand, Fufu!" Alex began his classic mechanical reply.
"No! You, you, must call me Lady Furina!" Furina was a bit angry.
"Okay, Fufu, I understand, Fufu!!!"
"Ah!…"
After a mysterious period of time… Alex was now slumped on the ground. The hat he was wearing had fallen off in some unknown direction.
Alex, covering his flushed face, looked at Furina, who had returned to her throne, one hand on her hip in a victorious pose.
Oh, I never thought! I truly never thought! Is the God of Fontaine really like this…? Wuwu, I dare not fight back. Damn it, am I someone who can be bullied? You just wait… "Mm-hmm." Furina made a sound of prompting.
"Lady Furina… Master." Alex lowered his head.
"Hmm? Is someone speaking?" Furina tilted her ear.
Alex stood up, tidied his appearance slightly, and approached Furina's throne.
Furina looked up slightly at Alex, who was now very close, and suddenly felt nervous. Had she gone too far just now? What if he… what would she do?!
He placed both hands on the throne, his entire body trapping Furina within the throne.
"You, what are you going to do?" Furina watched herself being trapped, her heart growing even more nervous.
Alex lowered his head and leaned close to Furina's ear, whispering softly, trying to use a charming voice: "My Master~ Do you have any commands?"
"Eek!" Furina was startled.
Afterward… "In the end, Furina still agreed that I could call her Fufu in private, but in public, I must call her Lady Furina. All in all, it was my victory!"
"What are you muttering about! They're coming after us again, run!" Furina spotted someone pointing at them in the distance, then more people emerged from around the corner. She quickly grabbed Alex's hand and ran.
It must be said that as expected of Fontaine's big star, her ability to escape crowds was truly remarkable.
They circled through many places in a short time, even making Alex dizzy, before finally shaking off their pursuers.
"Why are you so slow? We almost got cornered at first. Luckily, I was more skilled and managed to get us away." Furina let go of Alex's hand, looking disappointed. She hadn't expected Alex's stamina to be so poor.
"I can't help it, my stamina bar is too short, and I'm only level one! I'm very weak, okay?" Alex felt a bit upset thinking about his stats, which he had seen last night in the luxurious single room Furina had kindly provided.
Stamina: 1/60 (Increases by 20 stamina points every ten levels.)
They really cap my stamina, huh? 9x20, 60+180. That's still only 240 at most!!
However, the rate of stamina consumption here is very slow. Even so, he couldn't keep up with Furina running. As expected of a god!
