There's a rule in this world: when you're about to settle down and do something... something else always pops up.
Just like Yuto now; he originally wanted to finish the documents he had on hand, but... someone came knocking.
A sneaky little head appeared at his office door, as if there was something he wanted to discuss with him, but he didn't dare to just walk in directly.
"Yu... to?"
The girl's voice made Yuto instinctively look up, only to find Furina standing at the door of his office at some point, her expression seemingly conflicted.
Looking at the girl in front of him, Yuto couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, unsure what to say for a moment.
He actually understood why Furina would come to him at this time.
In essence, Furina herself didn't want to bring any charges against Lyney, but... the fun-loving mentality of the Fontaine residents made her a bit stuck.
—She just wanted to display her majesty as a God.
And... there was no 'and' after that.
Looking at Furina, who slowly walked up to him, Yuto couldn't help but sigh.
"Furina, as the God of Fontaine... you need to be confident. No one said a God can't make mistakes, especially when the chain of evidence hasn't been fully presented."
"As it stands... although there are still many doubts in Lyney's case, from the definition of Judgment in Fontaine, only through mutual debate, rebuttal, and self-proof can the truth come to light."
Hearing Yuto's words, Furina slightly raised her head.
Looking at Yuto, who was still guiding her with a gentle smile, her nose suddenly felt a little sore.
If she were just an ordinary girl named Furina, she might choose to express her feelings at this moment.
But... the other self in the mirror asked her to keep acting, so she had no choice.
The only thing she could do was to pray that The Prophecy would disappear quickly, and then she could also walk away from this extraordinary life.
After that... she could pluck up the courage to express her feelings to this gentle man who had taken care of her for over four hundred years.
She was not a God, but a girl bearing the responsibility of a God.
She was still just a girl after all.
Looking at the seemingly dazed Furina, Yuto couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, then slowly got up and walked in front of Furina, half-crouching to tidy her collar and hat.
Feeling the shadow that suddenly appeared before her eyes, Furina's eyes once again regained their proper focus, but immediately became a little flustered.
Looking at that gentle and calm face, Furina admitted that her heart was a little chaotic.
"Furina, from the current evidence... you are not wrong. The God of Justice is about to exercise Its rights and guide Its people in the right direction."
"Although it's a stretch to say so, but... as long as the matter can be resolved, it can be considered an act of justice."
Yuto's gentle words echoed in her ears, which gradually calmed Furina's somewhat flustered state.
Yuto was right. Whether it was "accusation," "Judgment," or "duel," the meaning of these three stages was not to directly obtain a result, but to make everything reasonable and transparent.
As the God representing justice, what Furina did was not to "bring the truth to light," but to guide people to dissect the truth.
Since the birth of the Archon system, their existence has been to guide humanity towards a brighter future.
And the Archon of justice naturally has to guide the people towards justice.
In a situation where the evidence structure is incomplete, only she, the Hydro Archon Focalors, can step forward and lead everyone out of the fog.
Truth will only become clearer through debate, and will not dissipate little by little in contention.
Thinking of this, Furina seemed to regain her confidence and returned to her position as the performing Archon.
She looked at the man who was also smiling at her, and had many, many things she wanted to say in her heart.
The girl placed her hand on the bow tie at her chest, clenched it slightly, but immediately released it.
This was the second time she had warned herself today.
Furina gently blinked her eyes, then said to Yuto in front of her:
"As expected of my most capable Assistant Administrator, you are right. What the God of Justice needs to do is to guide the people onto the path of justice."
"This responsibility can only be fulfilled by me, Furina de Fontaine, Archon name Focalors, the Archon representing justice and water, hahahahaha~"
The girl's exaggerated performance once again played out in front of Yuto, and as a qualified Assistant Administrator, and also as someone with a significant role on this stage...
Yuto's other basic skill was to play along.
He placed his left hand in front of his shoulder and bowed gently to the girl, showing his respect.
"Praise be to you, my great God."
And Furina nodded with satisfaction after hearing this sentence. If the unique blush on the girl's cheeks could fade...
This act would be perfect.
Looking at the girl's figure as she walked away freely, a smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of Yuto's mouth.
"However... there is no such thing as perfection in drama itself."
...
Soon after Furina left, a Melusine skipped to Yuto's desk and said, shaking her small hand:
"Mr. Yuto, there are two Misses, uh... and an unidentified flying object who want to see you."
Hearing this, Yuto gently nodded, signaling the Melusine to bring them in.
And at this moment, Yuto... was thinking about how to present the problem to them and subtly give them some reminders that seemed unrelated to the case at first glance but were actually relevant.
"Cowell's most crucial act of murder was dissolving Fontaine people with primordial sea water, so... the most relevant thing in the whole matter is 'water.'"
"And this thing, if extended further, would be 'dissolution,' which then leads to the problem of The Prophecy."
"Heh... Vasher, although I can't personally deal with you, I must accelerate this process."
Thinking of this, a chilling light flashed in Yuto's eyes.
...
A moment later, Lumine and Navia walked in.
"Assistant Officer, you said... if we needed help, we could come to you."
To this, Yuto nodded knowingly.
"That's right, so... what difficulties are the two Misses currently facing that require assistance?"
