"Oh, beautiful Miss Kitty. Have you taken human form to repay my kindness?"
Seeing Lynette in front of him, and knowing they hadn't met yet, Alex decided to make a little joke.
"You wish," Lynette replied, her expression unchanged.
He had just been feeding stray cats as usual, and as he was about to leave, he heard a cat wailing not far away.
Curious, he walked over to look and saw someone holding a cat and not letting go.
Looking closer, he realized it was the male lead from the trial he watched at the Opera House today.
The one who successfully confessed his feelings to a god… "Hehe." Alex saw Lynette and instantly felt that the adorable white cat in his hands was no longer as appealing.
He loosened his grip, and the little white cat instantly sprang up, leaping behind Lynette.
Lynette crouched down, picked up the startled cat, and gently stroked it.
Alex placed his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly in a gentlemanly manner: "Ahem. Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Alex. And what is your name, beautiful Miss Lynette?"
"Puhaha." Furina, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly burst out laughing. What was wrong with this person? He was too funny.
"…" Lynette remained silent, not speaking.
"Oh, alright, alright, stop laughing! I was trying to pretend we didn't know each other. It was a slip of the tongue!" Alex awkwardly rubbed his forehead, speaking to Furina, who was still laughing uncontrollably.
"Alright, I know you. The magician's assistant, Lyney's sister." Alex let out a breath, lowered his body, and added, "A child of the Father!"
Lynette, who had been expressionless before, showed a slight change in her expression when she heard the last phrase: "Oh? You seem to know much more than we expected."
??? Furina was confused now. Why did he suddenly emphasize that sentence? Aren't we all children of the Father?
At this moment, Furina hadn't specifically investigated the origins of the two newly emerging magician siblings in Fontaine. After all, nothing was more important than watching an opera; who would deliberately investigate such things?
"You've come at just the right time." Alex, standing next to Furina, suddenly extended his right hand to Lynette.
??? Now it was Lynette's turn to be puzzled. I just stopped an act of violence, why is this person suddenly saying it's the right time?
Alex paused, then said, "There's something I'd like your help with."
"Me?… Please get to the point." Lynette bent down to put the cat in her hands down, then looked at Alex.
"We're planning to go exploring near Port Ormos… you know." Alex rubbed his hands together.
"Then you can simply post a commission at the Adventurers' Guild." Since it was trouble, Lynette wanted to slip away.
"Please help me, Lynette! Only you can do it!" Alex clasped his hands together.
"Entering standby mode." Lynette's expression suddenly became motionless, and she made a sound that seemed mechanical.
"Hey! Hello? Say something!" Alex waved his hand in front of Lynette, but she didn't even blink.
"There's a cat in standby mode here. Lady Furina, let's carry her away." Saying this, Alex called to Furina, preparing to take Lynette with them.
"Eh?! What about the disguise? Why are you suddenly calling me out?" Furina panicked.
? Lynette instantly turned to look at the black-robed person whose presence had been very low.
She knew that laughter sounded somewhat familiar just now; it was indeed Hydro Archon Furina.
Even more troublesome!
Alex suddenly placed his hand on Lynette's shoulder, threatening her: "Now, you already know our secret, so we can't let you go. This is the Hydro Archon's task, a god's request! If you refuse, you know the consequences."
"That's entirely your own idea! Don't drag me into this!" Furina directly used her small fists to hit Alex's chest… "Hi, hi, hi, welcome aboard this aquabus. I am your guide, Aeval. The final destination of this journey, Port Ormos Station, is also Port Ormos…"
"…" Lynette sat obediently with her hands on her black-stockinged legs, not saying a word.
Help, big brother, I've been kidnapped by a god and her lover!
Save me, save me, save me.
Alex, on the other hand, was very attentively watching the blue Melusine in front of him, listening to its explanation.
This Melusine named Aeval also noticed someone on the aquabus who was listening to the explanation very seriously, and it explained even more enthusiastically. "This Clementine Line… passes through…"
Furina, meanwhile, leaned back and began to rest. This Clementine Line always took a long time to reach the station; it was the longest and most boring line in Fontaine.
Unconsciously, Furina's eyes closed, and she fell asleep.
"Wake up! We've arrived!" Alex gently patted Furina, waking her softly.
Rubbing her eyes, Furina sat up straight and perked up.
If this line were a little longer, it would be great; he really wanted Furina to lean on his shoulder and sleep a little longer.
That would truly be, "To Furina," brothers!
"Alright, alright! We've arrived at Port Ormos! Follow me, let's go to a Statue of The Seven first!" Alex became excited.
"Energy-saving mode activated…" Lynette began to lower her presence, trying to make Alex talk to her less.
Lynette started relying purely on physical instinct to walk with Alex and Furina.
Her mind, however, emptied, and she began to space out.
"Alright! The Statue of The Seven is successfully activated. Let's go check out the northeast direction."
… "Danger!" "Here!" "Magic show start!"
"Oh no, oh no, Lynette, save me!" Alex, not far away, was again being chased and attacked by Hydro Slimes. It was so infuriating; he swung Furina's Sword at them, but the Hydro Slimes' bodies didn't even ripple.
"...I'll draw the aggro!"
"Clap, clap, clap." Alex clapped next to Furina.
"Good, good, good, it's great to have a strong teammate." Alex finished speaking and looked at Furina.
Furina, at this moment, was leisurely sitting on a nearby stone, drinking the warm black tea Lynette had given her earlier.
This fellow truly slacked off even more than Barbatos.
But who cares, she's my wife! Anything is acceptable.
Alex came to Lynette's side, looking at the two or three giant Pyro Axe Hilichurls and one Wooden Shield Hilichurl that had surrounded them.
Lynette's situation was getting a bit dangerous; he couldn't always let a girl fight at the front.
"Step back, Lynette! My ultimate is ready!" Alex said proudly.
"Are you ready?" Alex swung the Sword of Stillness left and right: "The show begins!!!"
"???" Lynette, who had been fully focused on fighting, instantly became distracted and looked at Alex beside her.
What he said was the line her brother, Lyney, used when he transformed into the "Grinning Hat Cat" with his Vision and charged!
