Wait, I remember now, there were some of his friends from the Academy of Sciences who lived in the Narcissus Cross building.
"I heard that Su Bai has done a great service this time, and it seems that many people have been influenced by him and have started to join the Holy See."
"Haha, so many nuns, they're probably attracted to his handsome looks too."
[Funinga: "..."]
Wow, that's impressive! This kid's only been here a short time and he's already made a name for himself?
[There are even people voluntarily joining the Papacy.]
Should I give him some praise or something?
[I've got it! I'll give him my Radiant Stillness, and while I'm at it...]
Now that the Papacy has someone in its ranks, let's elevate him to Pope of Fontaine.
"Su Bai, you must keep it up! I will work hard for the great god."
On the day of the authorization, Funina's serious demeanor brought a smile to Su Bai's lips.
[Furina found it strange; she didn't understand why the other person was laughing, but he was laughing very happily.]
[In the days that followed, the Vatican continued to send Thousand Mile Mousse to Funina.]
[Furina never gets tired of it.]
[Every time there was a trial at the opera house, Su Bai would sit in the audience from the seats below.]
Over time, Funina noticed that her stress seemed to have lessened considerably.
[The troubles seem to have stopped targeting her and instead have all piled up on Su Bai.]
While enjoying this hard-won moment of relaxation, Funina was also worried about Su Bai.
"Can his body handle this kind of work?"
However, to Funina's surprise, all the problems that fell into Su Bai's hands were resolved satisfactorily.
Su Bai's popularity soared, surpassing even that of the Supreme Judge Navilette and closing in on him.
However, Funina didn't feel anything was amiss; in fact, she even felt a strange little bit of happiness.
Occasionally, when Funina spotted Su Bai surrounded by various beautiful women from a high vantage point, her face would fall, showing her displeasure.
It's a pity she can't show that kind of expression that only humans can have.
If people found out she seemed unhappy because there were other girls around the Pope, her identity would definitely be exposed.
Until that day...
To commemorate Pope Sobel's contributions to Fontaine, the opera house added new seats in its VIP section.
In the eyes of the people of Fontaine, Su Bai has officially become an equal to Fu Ningna, and in terms of actual power, those who obey Su Bai's orders are even more numerous than those who obey Fu Ningna.
On this day, Funina was very happy, putting on a charming expression: "Ahem, as expected of the person I chose, she truly has both talent and strength..."
"Wow, they're almost catching up to me!"
Su Bai, slightly shy, replied, "It's all thanks to the Water God's help."
【"that..."】
"Say it, say it, what else do you want to say?"
"I'd like to ask the Water God, do you still remember the promise we made at the beach..."
"Yeah, uh... let's go on a sea voyage together and travel all over Teyvat."
【Sailing travel...】
[A promise made at the beach...]
From that moment on, Funina was completely stunned.
No wonder I always felt that Su Bai's gaze towards me was filled with a particularly strange feeling from the first time I met him.
Perhaps, his purpose in coming to Fontaine was actually for his own benefit...
No, it should be the reflection of myself in the mirror, the true water god, Fucarus.
"Moreover, I feel like you've forgotten, or even don't remember, who I am."
Su Bai scratched his head awkwardly.
【"this..."】
[Funinga panicked instantly.]
This feeling of panic was no less than during her first speech upon assuming the role of water goddess.
Su Bai knows the real water god, and he...
[In a moment of quick thinking, Funina hurriedly came up with an excuse: "Ahem, Your Holiness, you also know that the source of power supplying Fontaine comes from the Cardinals of Decree."]
"To ensure the operation of the Cardinal Decree, I have given it all of my power."
"Since then, I've forgotten so many things, and sometimes my behavior doesn't even feel like myself."
"So that's how it is?" Su Bai suddenly realized.
"You must be doing this because of Fontaine's prophecy, Fucarus."
The moment Su Bai uttered the name Fukaros, Funina felt as if her heart had been pierced by a sharp weapon.
She felt utterly powerless, yet she maintained her smile and managed to say, "You are truly clever, my Pope."
[Furina didn't know why her mood had become unusually low.]
I barely made it home and had a nightmare that night.
"I, Su Bai, the Pope of Fontainebleau, will certainly serve the Water God with all my might."
"But not for you, you imposter."
The disgust that flashed in Su Bai's eyes made Funina feel like the sky had fallen.
"No, let me explain, it's not what you think, I..."
"Hmph! How dare you impersonate the water god in my heart! You should be locked up in the deepest part of Melo Petersburg and fed to the dogs..."
【scare! 】
[Furina woke up with a start, covered in a cold sweat; she had cried all night.]
Was she wrong?
She wasn't the person she saw in the mirror; she was just a substitute. But who would willingly become a substitute for someone else?
If it weren't for Fontaine, she...
She could also be an ordinary girl, without having to pretend to be someone she's not to anyone.
Especially when it comes to someone you like.
Fortunately, it was just a dream, and the Thousand Mile Mousse will still be served on Funina's table every day without fail.
[But then one day, Su Bai suddenly asked Fu Ningna a fatal question.]
"Lord Water God, I've made a new discovery regarding the ability of the primordial waters of the Fetal Sea to dissolve people."
"I'm puzzled as to why the people of Fontaine were dissolved by the primordial waters of the Sea of the Dead. Perhaps if I knew the truth, I could do my best to stop the prophecy."
[Furina: "Huh, is that even possible?"]
"Sigh, you know, my memory is messed up, I really can't remember..."
"Please, draw some power from the Cardinals of Decree and Judgment. Just tell me this one thing, and perhaps I can..."
Unfortunately, in the end, Funina didn't do as Su Bai said; she simply couldn't.
This caused some friction between the two.
From then on, the two spoke less and less, eventually going eighty-nine years without exchanging a single word.
Su Bai also did not appear at the opera house; all work handovers were handled by other people.
Only the Thousand Mile Mousse was still delivered to Funina on time.
However, during this process, Funina also heard rumors that many people were dissatisfied with her performance.
[Even more outrageous rumors claimed that the Pope of Fontaine had taken control of everything, and that the Water God was merely a puppet.]
The timid Funina would hide under the covers and silently wipe away her tears every day.
She was terrified that her exposure would destroy Fengdan's last hope, and even more afraid that Su Bai would discover her impersonation of the Water God.
As for being locked up in Mello Petersburg to be fed to the dogs, she wasn't that worried; what she couldn't accept was the look of disgust in Su Bai's eyes when he looked at her in her dream.
Fortunately, the rumor of the blonde traveler dispelled all doubts.
Su Bai finally started to approach her again, and his actions during Lin Ni's magic show completely relieved Fu Ningna.
"It turns out that all along, you've still been you..."
[Funinga looked at Su Bai's retreating figure, a warm feeling rising in her heart.]
She felt ashamed that she had used lies to gain Su Bai's attention.
