However, at this moment, Yuto had no idea that he had inexplicably been "crowned" and had inexplicably become the leader of some strange religion.
At this moment, he was staring blankly at the documents in front of him.
Although he was one of the three giants of Fontaine, this did not mean... he didn't need to work.
Yuto looked at Little Sanhua, who was quietly curled up on his desk, and a soft smile appeared on his face.
After gently stroking the cat's head, he began his work for the day.
After yesterday's Judgment, the term "primordial sea water" officially entered the public's view, which further intensified the public's panic about The Prophecy.
Because when they realized that... something that could dissolve Fontainians truly existed, the "all Fontainians will dissolve" in that Prophecy no longer seemed absurd.
Coupled with Vaughn's confession and his immediate death, the old case from back then was completely reopened.
At first glance, these two points might seem to have no impact on the public's daily life, but for Yuto's work... the impact was significant.
Especially in terms of workload.
Looking at the number of documents that he had been reviewing for half a day but still showed no signs of decreasing, Yuto couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, yes, our Assistant Administrator of Fontaine only needs to review documents, but our Fontainian people who offer opinions have much more to consider..."
However, despite saying that, he could understand the Fontainians' fear of The Prophecy.
After all... the first real case appeared decades ago, and now it was just another verification of its possibility; fear was an inevitable outcome.
"But then again... if the sky falls, Neuvillette and Lumine will bear it, and there's also Focalors, who stays behind the scenes..."
"I don't think there's much of a problem."
Yuto shrugged indifferently, and just as he was about to focus all his attention on the mountain of documents in front of him... the door to his office suddenly burst open.
Bang—
"Yuto, Yuto! Look, look!"
Furina held a newspaper in her hand and excitedly ran to Yuto, like a child showing off a trophy to a companion.
Seeing this, Yuto slowly raised his head and smiled as he looked at the somewhat excited Furina in front of him.
The girl's face was flushed with excitement, and the stray hair on her head trembled, seeming to indicate that her owner was in a very good mood at the moment.
Looking at Furina, who only appeared in front of him like this, Yuto chuckled and shook his head.
He straightened her slightly askew top hat, which had been dislodged from running, before taking the newspaper and beginning to read.
"'God of Justice's First Accusation Fails? Wrong! This is a God's Grace'"
Seemingly hearing Yuto's voice, Furina stood happily in front of Yuto's desk, hands on her hips, as if waiting for Yuto's praise.
Furina knew very well that the reason she could perform that way on the accusation stand... was entirely because of Yuto.
In her performance's conclusion, the role she needed to play was a God, a God representing justice.
If a God representing justice lost basic judgment of justice, that is, became the losing party in a "Judgment"...
The uproar it would cause would probably be extraordinary.
And Yuto's guidance allowed her to cleverly avoid this potential "crisis of trust," instead transforming it into a core element that made the public believe in her even more.
How could a God who personally entered the situation and guided her people towards justice be a fake?
Thinking of this, the smile on Furina's face became even more pronounced.
For her, being in front of Yuto was one of her few moments of relaxation.
He wouldn't spoil her fun, nor would he leave her without a response, and moreover, this was on the second floor of Palais Mermonia, where, apart from the three giants of Fontaine and Clorinde... very few people could even come up.
So... only in front of Yuto could she slightly shed a bit of her divine disguise and become the carefree self she dreamed of.
Looking at Furina, who was waiting for praise, Yuto smiled and shook his head, then slowly stood up to adjust her hat, and gently said:
"You've worked hard, Furina."
"Eh?"
A hint of surprise flickered in Furina's beautiful heterochromatic eyes, as if she was puzzled by Yuto's words.
"I said, thank you for guiding us towards justice, esteemed Hydro Archon Focalors, and Fontaine's well-known superstar, Miss Furina."
Yuto said with a smile.
Hearing the special titles that seemed to stack like buffs, Furina's small face couldn't help but blush, and then she raised her small head like a noble white swan, revealing her fair neck.
"Th-that's natural, I am the God representing justice! Of course I must guide my people onto the right path!"
"So, so... can we have lunch today..."
"Alright, alright~ Our Lady Furina, who upheld justice and dispelled the fog of confusion for the public, certainly deserves extra small cakes~ I understand~"
Before Furina could finish speaking, Yuto interrupted her and said with a smile.
Seeing Yuto agree so readily, Furina immediately beamed with joy, as if she were truly a small child.
However, this joyful expression did not last long.
A moment later, the joy on Furina's face gradually turned into hesitation; she looked at Yuto hesitantly, remained silent for a short while, and finally spoke:
"Ahem, as your God, I, Hydro Archon Focalors, now command you, Assistant Administrator Yuto, to have afternoon tea with me this afternoon. This is a God's grace for your diligent work and suggestions!"
Furina slightly raised her small head, seemingly trying her best not to let Yuto notice her flushed face, attempting to conceal her true feelings with this tsundere expression.
Seeing this, Yuto chuckled softly, then said very gently:
"I understand. I will be there as promised for afternoon tea, my esteemed God."
Hearing Yuto's reply, Furina nodded her small head in satisfaction, then interacted with the small cat by Yuto's desk before leaving the office.
Watching the girl's retreating figure, Yuto smiled and shook his head, whispering in a voice so low only he could hear:
"I hope... my presence can bring you some comfort, some space to relax."
"Keep going... Furina, your dawn will arrive soon, just hold on a little longer..."
After saying this, Yuto immediately switched to work mode and began to busy himself with the tasks at hand.
His current efforts were not only for today's afternoon tea but also for... appearing before Navia at an appropriate time.
After all, now that Fontaine's God of Justice has ascended the accusation stand and swept away the darkness before the people, then...
It is very reasonable for him, Yuto, as the Assistant Administrator, to become the Licensed Agent for the accusing party, right?
