Chapter 42 - Chapter 42 Yeats: Now I have to pay

Nonomi looked at the Traveler, who had now recovered to a controllable state, and for a moment, she couldn't quite process it.

Even now, she was still immersed in the superb rescue by Yuto and Clorinde.

"Oh my god... a purple light and a distinct blue-violet radiance just whooshed through, and then those security automatons clattered down!"

Nonomi described what she had just seen with some excitement; although her vocabulary was a bit limited, it didn't affect her affection for Yuto.

"No, this 'justice from the sky' rescue was too cool, wasn't it?! Could a character like this be evil? If he were a villain, Fontaine would have been doomed long ago!"

After saying this, Nonomi seemed to suddenly recall something, and a hint of awkwardness flashed in her eyes before she spoke:

"I did think Yuto was the mastermind... but that doesn't stop everything he just said from being quite reasonable."

With that, Nonomi began to seriously analyze the plot as she played.

"Look, Yuto came to the rescue because he realized the seriousness of the problem. Based on our previous actions in other countries, he inferred that we would still go to Furina, so he would definitely come near the Opera House."

"Then, Navia told us earlier in the story that Yuto and her Father Cares are good friends, which means Yuto is Navia's elder. He couldn't possibly leave Navia in danger."

"Finally, there was that thoughtful hint; he clearly said that because he thought of the hidden nature of the primordial sea water."

"Since it can be put into balloons as a hidden weapon to harm people, and it's liquid, wouldn't the first thing a normal person think of be food and drink? If your enemies are after you, you'd rather sleep with your eyes open, right?"

After saying this, Nonomi pursed her lips, took a sip of water, and continued:

"And finally, Yuto has been the Assistant Administrator in Fontaine for nearly five hundred years. If he were the executor of The Prophecy... Fontaine would have perished long ago. What would we have to do with it?"

At this point, Nonomi suddenly felt a bit suffocated.

Looking at it this way... Yuto really doesn't seem like a bad guy, huh?

Was she hit in the face by the boomerang she threw an hour ago?

Nonomi fell into deep thought.

It seems... she has no choice but to pay this money?

...

After a brief interlude, Nonomi continued to push the story forward.

Following the mission's guidance, the Traveler and Paimon followed Miss Navia back to the Spina di Rosula's base in Fontaine.

Although the somewhat dilapidated Grey River surprised everyone, after understanding the current state of the Spina di Rosula, they immediately understood everything.

Nonomi couldn't help but feel emotional as she watched Miles recount the facts that had befallen Miss Navia.

"The once highly respected chairman became a criminal overnight, and the former Miss Navia had to painstakingly support the crumbling guild, sigh..."

"No wonder Yuto takes such good care of her, and no wonder she could so easily get permission from that diligent Melusine in front of Palais Mermonia, no wonder..."

Nonomi sighed as she controlled her game character to walk to her room in the distance to rest.

However, after a brief black screen, what greeted the player was not the next day's plot, but Yuto's back walking on the street.

Seeing this, Nonomi immediately turned on her live stream recording. With her keen sense... she knew that something big was about to happen.

She believed one thing: a game developer who truly knows how to make games would never put meaningless plot points into the main story.

As one of the three giants of Fontaine, whenever any of these three appeared in the frame, it either meant something big was coming or it was setting the stage for future plot developments.

As Arlecchino, the Fatui Harbingers, and the Fourth Seat, The Knave, appeared in the game's view, not only did the live stream chat start spamming question marks, but even Nonomi, who considered herself to have a strong heart, felt a bit suffocated.

"Hiss... why are they meeting with the Fatui in the middle of the night?! Could Yuto really be a bad seed? Hehe~ This time it's little Nonomi's victory!"

Nonomi's face was beaming with a smile; she was practically radiating happiness.

However... there was still a slight unease in her heart.

After all, that close-up of Yuto's slight frown wasn't for nothing, which meant one thing...

Either Yuto disliked Arlecchino, or Yuto disliked her appearing at this time.

Looking at the constantly scrolling bullet comments, Nonomi shouted somewhat exasperatedly:

"Have you ever seen two orphanage directors meet at this time of night? This is clearly... this is clearly problematic, okay?!"

Nonomi spoke while rapidly clicking her mouse; her mood was somewhat agitated now.

After all... a fully-constellated, fully-refined character costs five or six thousand. It's true that she, as a plot analysis blogger, earned some money, but she couldn't withstand such expenditure!

Anyway, she had the recording; at worst, she could listen to the voice actors' performances after the stream.

Nonomi repented inwardly.

However... the subsequent plot directly chilled Nonomi's recently heated heart.

"Waaahhh, my fifteen thousand Mora..."

Nonomi wailed.

Nonomi had almost thought that her precious fifteen thousand Mora in her pocket was about to be saved, when reality dealt her another blow.

This blow knocked her out cold and conveniently took fifteen thousand Mora from her pocket!

This kind of extreme ups and downs in life made Nonomi somewhat mentally unstable.

"Ughhh, I'm going to turn into a Mara-struck! Ahhh, Yaoshi's compassion!!!"

...

However, just as Nonomi was having a live stream meltdown and transforming into a Mara-struck... a certain pink small television once again sparked a discussion about Yuto.

But unlike Nonomi's personal content, they... revered Yuto as a spiritual symbol.

Even the most popular keywords associated with Yuto were...

"Praise Yuto, Understand Yuto, Worship Yuto, Changmen (hands clasped.jpg)"

While this might seem exaggerated at first glance, given everything Yuto has done so far... if he could truly establish a sect, many people would undoubtedly join.

Among them, just the act of perfecting labor law and protecting workers had already made the vast majority of players willing to acknowledge him as a foster father.

If Fontaine were full of such oppressed office workers, if Fontaine also had a bridge of moderate length...

Perhaps the hat on Furina's little head might transfer to Yuto's head in the next second.

This is the true Water God!

This is the true God of Justice!

Join our Changmen; although the extreme ideal state of seven days off a week won't happen, our God will grant you normal overtime treatment and weekends.

If someone were to ask me what is perfect, I would not hesitate to present Yuto's deeds as evidence.

Greatness, no words needed!
