Perhaps because he thought of Houria, or perhaps because of the urgency brought by the approaching crisis, Mr. Yuto quickly arrived at Beryl Region.
Looking at the busy golden figure on the platform, a smile couldn't help but appear on Mr. Yuto's face.
He saw Cares's shadow in Miss Navia.
It had been lesses than a month since she officially took over the Spina di Rosula, and now Miss Navia already had five-tenths of Cares's demeanor back then.
Caring for the people, interpreting justice in her own way, helping the people connect with Palais Mermonia...
What Cares was doing, she was doing, and what Cares planned to do, she had already started to do.
"Given time, she will definitely become an even more formidable figure than Cares, and may even truly touch the title of 'Duke.'"
Mr. Yuto thought to himself.
And Miss Navia seemed to notice the gaze from behind her, then subconsciously turned around, looking at Mr. Yuto, who was smiling behind her, feeling a bit bewildered for a moment.
"Eh?! Mr. Yuto? Why are you here?!"
Miss Navia's tone revealed a hint of surprise and delight, as if Mr. Yuto's arrival made her very happy.
Looking at the young woman who was trotting towards him, a benevolent smile appeared on Mr. Yuto's face.
For Mr. Yuto, Cares was his close friend, and he had watched Miss Navia grow up, so he had long regarded her as his own child.
"I came to see if you needed help, and by the way... to convey Lady Furina's wishes."
Mr. Yuto's words made Miss Navia a bit confused for a moment. She blinked her eyes in confusion and repeated:
"Lady Furina's wishes...? It couldn't be about whether the Spina di Rosula can continue to exist, could it?"
Looking at Miss Navia, whose expression was clearly a bit strange, Mr. Yuto reached out and gently tapped her little head, then said in an exasperated tone:
"What are you thinking? The contributions the Spina di Rosula has made to Fontaine are not just those three transportation waterways. No other community organization would be touched, but the Spina di Rosula certainly wouldn't."
"This time, I was dispatched by Lady Furina to help Beryl Region, which is destined to suffer in The Prophecy, to minimize losses as much as possible."
Hearing this, Miss Navia's eyes suddenly widened, and she asked in disbelief:
"Wh-what?! Mr. Yuto, are you really not joking??"
"Miss Navia, I know you might have a hard time digesting this information right now, but... it's true."
With that, Mr. Yuto looked at the pool of water at the very bottom of Beryl Region, sighed slightly, and said:
"As a participant in the Serial Disappearance of Young Girls, you should be able to guess what it is in The Prophecy that can dissolve the people of Fontaine, right?"
"It's... primordial sea water."
Miss Navia murmured, a bit dazed.
"That's right. The experimental log that Lumine previously found in the den where 'lesse' was manufactured mentioned that the location where the primordial sea water was discovered was underground."
"And the very bottom of Beryl Region is connected to the underground water, which means..."
Before Mr. Yuto could continue, Miss Navia muttered to herself:
"That means... it's entirely possible for the primordial sea water to seep into Beryl Region?"
Regarding Miss Navia's conjecture, Mr. Yuto first nodded, then shook his head.
"It's possible, but it could also be more extreme, for example... the Seawater erupting directly, instantly engulfing Beryl Region."
Hearing this, Miss Navia's face, which had still retained some color, instantly turned pale, as if she had heard something terrifying.
However, she was, after all, the current head of the Spina di Rosula, and she quickly broke free from that state of near panic.
Miss Navia first took a deep breath, her brain working rapidly. After only a moment, she turned her head and shouted:
"Miles! Silver!"
As soon as her voice fell, two figures in black suits appeared from nowhere and instantly arrived beside Miss Navia.
"What is it, Miss Navia (Boss)?"
"Instruct all Spina di Rosula members still in Beryl Region to assist Mr. Yuto with all their might starting now, and temporarily move the residents of Beryl Region to Fontaine."
"If they ask why they have to leave Beryl Region... tell them it's a decision made jointly by the Water God and the Chief Justice, a decision made to allow them to live."
Hearing this, Miles and Silver first looked up at Mr. Yuto, who was standing to the side with a serious expression, then looked at Miss Navia, whose small face was slightly pale, and then nodded heavily and left.
For the two of them, words like "guarantee to complete the mission" held no meaning.
As Miss Navia's confidants and stewards, their job was to completely obey her orders.
To do things thoroughly... was better than anything.
Looking at the two who had already begun to notify other Spina di Rosula members, Mr. Yuto nodded slightly.
Although the deaths of Miles and Silver could bring Miss Navia unprecedented growth, if he had to let his junior exchange pain for growth...
Then he, as an elder, would be too derelict in his duty.
Thinking of this, Mr. Yuto nodded gently, then took out the plan he had written from his pocket and handed it to Miss Navia.
"This is the plan I personally wrote. The residents of Beryl Region who are relocated will be housed in the resettlement area within Fontaine and will move back after The Prophecy is completely over."
"Also, this is the application form and plan that Mr. Cares made previously. I've modified it slightly, and it can also serve as a blueprint for the post-disaster relocation and construction of Beryl Region."
"Furthermore, these past few days, while you are arranging the evacuation, I will also be by your side to ensure that every resident of Beryl Region can evacuate smoothly."
Hearing Mr. Yuto's meticulous arrangements, Miss Navia, who had just recovered a bit, once again went into a daze.
She thought Mr. Yuto would bring a plan, but she never expected that Mr. Yuto would directly bring the blueprints and plans for post-disaster reconstruction.
Taking the two blueprints, Miss Navia was speechless for a moment.
"Mr. Yuto, this..."
The young woman's voice was slightly choked, as if something was stuck in her throat, preventing her from speaking a complete sentence.
And Mr. Yuto waved his hand indifferently, then said:
"This is all my job. Now... let's go do the important business first."
As Mr. Yuto spoke, he walked on his own towards the very bottom of Beryl Region, joining in the rescue effort.
And while the rescue work was in full swing... at the very bottom of Beryl Region, or rather, the very bottom of all Fontaine, a giant whale slowly opened its mouth.
Within its massive maw... stood a burly figure in black armor, wielding a purplish-black greatsword.
He slightly raised his head, as if he had sensed something, and a muffled sound came from beneath the thick faceplate.
"The kin of the First Throne would actually come into contact with power from the Abyss... Interesting..."
"Then let the fated The Prophecy and Destruction come quickly..."
