Yes, Lady Funina!

Volume 2: Chapter : Tough Funina

It is a good day today. The sky is clear and the air is fresh in Fontainebleau. The bright sunshine shines on the statue of the water god in the center of Fontainebleau. The statue has a peaceful face and looks like a kind and wise god.

Funina slammed the newspaper with the words "Inazuma's isolation order has been further intensified, the water god Fucaros threatened to blast open Inazuma's borders and occupy the Shogun's Palace in three days" on the desk.

"What nonsense! This is slander! This is a lie! Who gave them the courage to write like this! Arrest them, arrest them all and exile them to Meropeburg!" Furninna roared, slamming the table.

Funina never expected that this newspaper would dare to disregard facts and fabricate rumors.

Too much, too much! Don't they know that Thor is famous for his fighting ability?! If she draws a knife from her chest and hits her hard, she won't be able to live like this!

"Please calm down, Lady Funina. These tabloids always like to exaggerate, which helps their sales." Richard glanced at the newspaper stained with tea and said calmly.

"So for the sake of sales, you can ignore the facts?" Furniture pointed at the newspaper on the table angrily, "Richard, is there no way to deal with them?"

"In fact, as long as you don't look at it, you will be fine." Richard said after thinking for a while.

I wonder if he is overthinking it. Why is the Water God so emotional? Her current behavior is just like that of an ordinary girl who has been slandered. She doesn't show any scheming at all.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the other party is pretending to be like this. Anyway... let's wait and see.

"If you don't get caught, it's not illegal?" Funina asked back.

"You are trying to change the subject, Lady Funina." Richard felt guilty and always felt that there was something else behind the words of the Lord of Water.

"In short, since we have seen it, we can't pretend we didn't see it. What if Inazuma sees it and it affects the relationship between the two countries? " Funina regarded this as a major event that would affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

But Richard didn't think so. He said, "Inazuma officials won't be so idle as to pay attention to a tabloid like this that has no influence."

Furninna stared at Richard with wide eyes and said, "You mean I'm free?"

She knows how to highlight the key points.

Richard had a headache. He said, "That's not what I meant, but I think..."

"You'd better do as I say, Secretary General Richard. I am the Minister of Administration!" Funina interrupted. Richard's words were too dense and she didn't like it.

"...Yes, Lady Furninna." Seeing Furninna being so tough, Richard had no choice but to follow her orders.

Thus arose the first disagreement between the Chief Executive and her permanent secretary, and it now appears that the Chief Executive has a slight upper hand by virtue of her position.

What Finina didn't know was that in Inazuma, far away in the southwest corner of Teyvat, this newspaper from a third-rate newspaper had already been placed on the desk of the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine.

"Interesting. General Kujo Sara, take a look. Is it possible to occupy the General's Mansion in three days?"

The one who spoke was a shrine maiden with long, smooth pink hair. The fullness of her chest made her shrine maiden costume taut. Her fair thighs were not covered with any silk fabric from top to bottom. Her crystal-clear bare feet, stepping on wooden clogs, looked very beautiful.

It is worth noting that the other party also has a pair of pink fox ears, which look furry and soft, making people unable to resist reaching out to try their quality.

It’s a pity that since the birth of this palace lady, only a few people have been lucky enough to touch her ears.

"There is no such possibility, Lord Yae, when did you start paying attention to such sensational news?" Kujo Sara said with a stern face.

In the general's view, such news was all fabricated, but it was undeniable that when Yae Shinko read the news to her, she did feel provoked.

He just felt provoked. After all, Fontaine could not really send troops to attack Inazuma, and Inazuma would not attack Fontaine because of a third-rate tabloid.

Yae Shinko looked at the calm and loyal general beside her. She chuckled and whispered to herself, "I see some familiar traces in this newspaper."

"If it were him... with the current General's Mansion, maybe he could really do it."

"What?" Kujo Sara didn't hear clearly what Yae Shinto was saying to himself, so she asked with a frown.

"It's nothing. Why don't we guess how the new Water God will handle this matter?" Yae Shinto seemed to have thought of something and suggested to Kujo Sara with a smile.

Kujo Sara was not interested in this. She frowned and replied, "Sir, there are still many matters to be dealt with in the army. If you summoned me here for this matter, I'm sorry I won't accompany you."

"Don't worry. The shogunate army can function without anyone, but without you, there will be no one to talk to me and relieve my fatigue." Yae Shinko comforted.

"Is there no one to entertain you?" Kujo Sara answered incisively.

"Let's put it this way, General Kujo Sara, let's make a bet on how the water god will deal with the matter regarding this newspaper in the future." Yae Shinko said, waving the newspaper in his hand.

Kujo Sara felt that no god would be so idle as to pay attention to such a third-rate tabloid. Even if they saw it by accident, they would simply ignore it, just like a giant ignoring an ant under his feet.

"I don't think the water god of Fontaine will care about such a trivial matter." Kujo Sara gave his own judgment.

"My answer is exactly the opposite of yours. This matter will become more and more serious, and will eventually be dealt with by the Water God himself." Yae Shinto said confidently.

"If I lose, I won't bother you, General, for the next month. But if you lose, come to Yaedo and do some cosplay!"

So you also know that you are bothering me, Kujo Sara was speechless, but due to the authority of the Palace Master, she couldn't say much.

"Master Palace Master, you shouldn't interfere in this matter, right?" Kujo Sara looked at Yae God Son and said.

"Of course, I have always been fair. A bet is a bet. I will not use those petty tricks that are not worthy of being shown on the table." The Eightfold Son of God said righteously.

Kujo Sara looked at Yaezakami suspiciously, but ultimately said nothing. He probably thought that since Yaezakami said so, he would definitely abide by the rules of the game.

"By the way, what is COS?"

It’s not that Kujo Sara felt that she would lose, but she really didn’t know what cos meant. Since she had made the bet, she had to be prepared to fail.

"Just taking a few photos, similar to private photos? Don't worry, it won't be spread out." Yae Shinko narrowed his beautiful fox eyes and answered with a smile.

She seemed to have seen the future.

Sara, you don’t want these photos to be seen by Ying, right?

Volume 3: Chapter : Funina Can't Be Tough

"Secretary General, what should we do?"

"Linnet, can we not address each other by our job titles in private?" Richard looked at his secretary.

My secretary is so beautiful today, and just looking at her makes me happy.

A pair of delicate black stockings wrapped around her slender legs, extending into the black hip skirt. The deep darkness stimulated the human instinctive desire to explore.

The upper body is a black blazer with white lining. The moderately sized mountains outline a graceful curve. If you look closely at the slender white neck, you can see thin blood vessels, which make your eyes follow their flow involuntarily.

The girl's skin is whiter than snow, her eyes are as clear and bright as a spring, and her behavior reveals an indifference that is unlike that of her peers. She is taciturn, elegant and quiet, just like a civet cat, making it difficult to guess her true thoughts.

"Is this considered workplace sexual harassment?" Linnet noticed Richard's gaze, her cat ears twitched, and she spoke in a flat tone.

Richard choked on his tea and said hastily, "Ahem...it's not that serious. I won't look at it."

"Although I don't know why Lady Funina cares so much about that tabloid, but since the boss has spoken, we subordinates naturally have to share the worry."

Richard made a decision quickly. He said, "Let's take a look at the details of this newspaper first. Has the investigation yielded any results?"

Linnet took out a document from her arms and handed it to Richard, reporting: "According to the data in the archives, there is no big problem with this newspaper, but the Northland Bank found something."

"Liyue, Xumi, the Fatui, Inazuma... Wow, so many forces, is this newspaper collecting stamps?" Richard knew that there was something wrong with this newspaper, but he didn't expect it to have such a big appetite.

How much is this for one fish?

It seems that this saves him a lot of effort.

Originally, Richard wanted to accuse the newspaper of some unfounded crimes, but now it seems that there is no need for that. Colluding with foreign forces and stirring up public opinion to frame God, any one of them is enough to make the newspaper owner stay in Melo Petersburg until his death.

I guess even the newspaper owner didn't expect that the clerk in the city hall could assign a secretary to retrieve the internal transaction records of the Northland Bank?

"First, notify Zhuying Court and ask for assistance in closing down the newspaper. Say it was an order from Lord Water God. At the same time, hold a press conference and severely criticize this unhealthy trend in the name of the Minister of Administration!" Richard answered after thinking for a while.

"By the way, the newspapers that the invited reporters work for must be ones that have a 'close' relationship with us, to ensure that everything is under our control." Richard instructed.

"Let's test the quality of the Water God."

"Isn't this a little too obvious?" Linnette saw the trick.

"So I will report the plan now. If something goes wrong, I will immediately give a 'reasonable' explanation." Richard waved the running report in his hand.

If Lord Water God noticed it, he would take out this abnormal water flow report.

But if you don’t notice it… that would be a lot of fun.

Not only public opinion, but Richard also had to re-examine this god.

After all, based on his observations over the past few days, Richard discovered that this god did not seem as powerful as he had imagined.

Could he really be a fool?

Not sure, check again.

"It's a good plan. Wouldn't it have been better if we did it earlier? People who don't know would think that our City Hall can't deal with a small newspaper!" After listening to Richard's plan, Funina nodded her head with satisfaction.

Richard's eyes flickered. He hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Have you...approved? And you will also be required to speak on stage at the subsequent press conference."

"Yes, it's approved. I will also attend the subsequent press conference." Furninna didn't understand the meaning of Richard's words at all, and signed her name on the application for seizure of the newspaper without thinking.

As for the press conference that Richard mentioned, Funina regarded it as a declaration of victory and a stage to show herself to the people of Fontaine.

Commonly known as show-off.

After this test, Richard has completed most of the psychological profile of Finina.

He had to express with regret that he seemed to have overestimated this god.

It’s like when you are playing a high-end game and you think your opponent is very strong, but after a few confrontations, you find out that the opponent is a booster.

This gave Richard the same pleasant surprise as if he were walking down the street and seeing 100 Moras.

It seems that the future plans will have to be slightly adjusted.

――A few days later――

With the cooperation of the Zhuying Court and the City Hall, the newspaper office was quickly closed down and the newspapers that had been sold in the past few days were also recovered.

In the morning, the press conference was held as scheduled.

In the auditorium of the City Hall, all the well-known media and newspapers in Fontaine gathered together, but everyone was a little confused about this sudden press conference.

"Good afternoon, distinguished guests, journalists, ladies and gentlemen. I, the water god Fucaros and the new minister of administration, would like to thank you all for coming!" Fu Nina said in an excited tone, her voice very contagious.

Every guest present was attracted by Funina's special sense of drama. She was like a natural speaker, and her every word could mobilize the emotions of everyone present.

Richard also discovered this, but did not think she could turn the situation around.

If you choose the wrong path at the beginning, everything you do afterwards will be wrong. The better you perform, the more outrageous the mistakes will be.

As Funina gave her passionate speech, the people present gradually realized that something was wrong. From the beginning till now, it seemed that Lord Water God had been talking about the unscrupulous newspaper agency. Why didn't he get to the point yet?

"Lord Water God, what is the topic today?" Finally, a reporter present couldn't help but ask.

"Theme? My journalist friend, what I just said is the theme of today." Funina replied.

The venue became a little noisy, and the reporters looked at each other in bewilderment. So, Lady Water God made such a big scene just to tell them that she had closed down an unknown third-rate newspaper with thundering means?

"Lady Funina, is what the newspaper said true? Are you really dissatisfied with the Inazuma side and trying to warn the Inazuma shogunate through this method?" a reporter asked. They came here to hear big news, not to listen to the water god's self-boasting.

"How is that possible! It is precisely because the newspaper contains false reports about me that I ordered the closure of the newspaper!" Funina clenched her fist and waved.

The reporters all wrote in their notebooks: The Water God closed down the newspaper for no reason due to personal grudges.

"Lord Water God, isn't it too harsh to close down the entire newspaper just because of a news release?" the reporter raised his hand and asked.

"Harsh? I don't think so. Fontaine is a country ruled by law, and everyone should be responsible for their own words and deeds!" Funina retorted.

The reporters continued to record: The Water God declared that he took full responsibility for the incident!

"Did you get permission from the Supreme Inquisitor, Navilette, for your actions?"

Theoretically speaking, Navilette is currently the actual supreme leader of Fontaine, and both the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Administration are under his jurisdiction.

"What about Villette? What does it have to do with him? Why should I get his permission? I am the water god!" said Funina with her hands on her hips.

The reporters’ pens left a residual image: the water god is arbitrary and authoritarian, intending to subvert the existing Fontainebleau administrative structure!

At this moment, Funina also realized that something was wrong. Everyone seemed to be dissatisfied with her move to close the newspaper, thinking that it was undemocratic and unreasonable.

Why? It was obviously the newspaper's fault! Fu Nina's eyes were filled with confusion. Could it be that the newspaper was only allowed to frame her as it pleased, and not allow her to fight back?

As the reporters' questions became more and more sharp, Funina's face gradually turned pale, her brain began to become chaotic, and her words were full of loopholes.

The reporter wrote quickly and excitedly, he only regretted that he didn't have two more hands, because he could not remember everything, he simply could not remember it all!

She really dares to speak out what Lord Water God has to say!

Praise the water god!

Seeing Fu Nina standing helplessly on the stage, Richard finally stepped forward to help end the press conference.

After what the Water God did just now, Richard was completely certain that this god was not playing dumb, but that this was really all she had.

Is there anything? Yes, but not much.
