Momang Palace, Office of the Supreme Judge.

Finina was laid flat on the sofa where Villette usually took naps.

Her long eyelashes trembled a few times, and she slowly opened her eyes with a slight moan that sounded like crying.

The moment consciousness returned, the extreme shame, anger and grievance before the coma surged into my heart like a tide.

Especially Zou Rui’s evil smile and silent “hehehehe”, which played endlessly in her mind.

"Woo..."

Finina's mouth drooped, and before she could even see the surroundings clearly, tears started rolling down from the corners of her eyes.

"Asshole... liar... wuwuwu... bully..."

That Villette was standing aside, frowning slightly, as if thinking about how to start.

Seeing that Fernina cried after waking up, he sighed and handed her a glass of water.

"Ms. Furninna, you're awake. How do you feel?"

When Furninna saw that it was Villette, she felt even more wronged. She sat up suddenly, not caring about her manners anymore, and grabbed Villette's sleeve and started crying.

"Then Villette! You have to decide for me! That traveler is fake! She's Zou Rui in disguise! She pretended to cry to frame me! She pinched me! She even threatened me! Wuuuuuuu... The whole world is laughing at me... I'm too embarrassed to face anyone!!"

She cried so hard that she even started to use her hands and feet to gesture, trying to recreate the "tragic situation" at that time.

And Villette cast her gaze in the other direction of the office.

I saw "Ying" (Zou Rui) sitting leisurely in the luxurious office chair that should have belonged to the Chief Judge, his body leaning back slightly, and the chair turning gently.

She took out an apple from somewhere and took a bite of it, eating it with relish, as if she was watching a show.

Seeing that Funina was looking at her, she shook the apple in her hand with an innocent yet provocative smile.

"you you!"

Seeing her like this, Fernina was so angry that her hair almost stood up. She pointed at Zou Rui and accused Villette,

"Look at her! Look at her! She's still eating an apple! That's her! Catch her!"

Navril rubbed his brow. He had certainly noticed something was wrong with the Traveler.

Whether it was the overly "exquisite" crying scene on the street before, or the laziness and badness of this traveler who was completely different from the ones seen before, it showed that there was definitely something wrong with the person in front of him.

But there was no obvious aura of crime or evil intentions on the other party's part, more of a cynical teasing.

"This... 'traveler',"

Navrette turned to Zou Rui, his voice steady and full of oppression.

"Ms. Furninna accused you of impersonating someone else and threatening and teasing them. Do you have any explanation for this?"

Zou Rui ate the last bite of the apple and threw the core accurately into the trash can in the distance. Then he clapped his hands and jumped off the chair.

She walked to the sofa, ignoring the way Fernina tensed up instantly, as if facing a great enemy, and said to Violet with a smile,

"Your Excellency the Supreme Inquisitor, you can't say that. I was just playing a little game with Lady Fernina. It was just a joke, right, Fernina?"

As she spoke, she winked at Fernina.

"A joke?! How can you joke like that?"

Furninna screamed,

"That's called intimidation! That's slander! That's bullying! Don't believe Villette!"

"Oh?"

Zou Rui raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"But I clearly heard someone promise me that they would cooperate with my 'acting'? Isn't this part of the game? Why are they going back on their word now? Is the promise of the God of Justice really that worthless?"

"That's...that's..."

Funina was speechless for a moment. She was frightened by Zou Rui's momentum and "jiejiejie" laughter. She did give in, but...

"That's only if you threatened me! It doesn't count!"

"Where's the evidence?"

Zou Rui spread his hands, looking innocent. "The Supreme Judge values ​​evidence. Do you have any evidence that I threatened you? Who saw it? But you bullied me in the street and made me cry, but many people saw it~"

She had that sly smile again.

"You! You are shameless! You are a scoundrel!"

Furninna couldn't argue with her, she was so angry that she trembled all over and cried even more violently.

The huge grievance and frustration made her start to speak without thinking.

"I don't care! I don't care! You bullied me! You have to compensate me! I want to eat cake! I want to eat lots and lots of cake! I want the limited edition from the Debo Hotel! I want the new products from Marian Cake Shop! I want it now! Otherwise... otherwise I will... I will cry in front of you! Wuwawawawa..."

She simply gave up struggling completely, kicking and crying on the sofa like a child, turning all the anger she had just suffered into an obsession with sweets.

It seemed that only the sweet cream and soft cake base could soothe her wounded heart.

Navilette: "..."

He had handled countless complicated cases and faced cunning criminals, but this kind of "civil dispute" before him, especially when it involved the unreasonable Fernina and a seemingly reasonable but actually unreasonable "traveler", made him feel unprecedented... powerlessness.

Zou Rui looked at the tantrum-throwing Funina, and instead of feeling annoyed, his eyes lit up.

Oh? A cake can solve the problem? Why didn't you say so earlier?

"Cake? That's it?"

Zou Rui spoke in a light tone, as if Funina had made a trivial request.

Funina paused in her crying and peeked at Zou Rui from between her fingers.

"...I want the best quality! The sweetest! Lots and lots of it!"

"Okay~"

Zou Rui readily agreed, and then, like magic, he took out two beautifully packaged small boxes from somewhere (perhaps he had bought them on the way, or perhaps he had obtained them temporarily using some ability).

She opened the box and inside were two small cakes that looked extremely tempting.

One piece is raspberry mousse, dotted with bright red berries and gold foil on top; the other piece is rich chocolate lava, you can still feel the slight heat and exude a sweet aroma.

A rich sweet fragrance instantly filled the Supreme Judge's office, which was out of tune with the serious atmosphere here.

Furninna's crying stopped abruptly.

She sniffed unconsciously, her eyes completely attracted by the two small cakes.

Tears were still hanging on her cheeks, but her eyes were already wide open, sparkling with desire.

My throat rolled unconsciously.

"Well,"

Zou Rui handed two small cakes to Funina and shook them.

"The limited edition Debo Hotel just released this morning, and Marian Cake Shop's signature lava that needs to be ordered three days in advance. Now, are you still crying?"

Funina looked at the cake, then at Zou Rui's smiling face, and she experienced a conflict between her conscience and her conscience.

Dignity? I just lost it all.

Angry? Of course I'm still very angry!

But... cake... limited edition... hot lava cake...

"Woo..."

She uttered an incomprehensible whimper and seemed to be struggling.

Zou Rui deliberately took the cake a little further away.

"Don't want it? Then I'll feed it to Melusin. They should like it very much..."

Before he finished speaking, Funina snatched the two cake boxes away with lightning speed and held them tightly in her arms, like a kitten guarding its food. There were still traces of tears on her face, but she glared at Zou Rui fiercely.

"Who said I don't want it! This is mine! Compensation!"

Although she still had a hard mouth, she couldn't wait to open the box, picked up the small spoon that came with it, and carefully scooped a spoonful of raspberry mousse into her mouth.

In an instant, the sweet and sour and delicate taste melted on the tip of the tongue. The ultimate enjoyment brought by the top-quality ingredients seemed to have magic, which immediately diluted all the grievances and anger.

"Well……"

Finina's eyes narrowed happily, and she couldn't help but scoop out another big spoonful, stuffing her cheeks so much that she bulged out like a little hamster storing food.

After eating the delicious cake, her emotions calmed down at a visible speed.

Villette watched in silence.

So... that's it? Two small cakes?

The interrogation script and mediation plan he had prepared for half a day were instantly useless.

He once again deeply realized that when dealing with Funina, logic and law sometimes seemed not as effective as desserts.

Zou Rui looked at Funina immersed in the world of cake with satisfaction, clapped his hands, and smiled at Villette.

"Look, the problem is solved. Lady Furninna has forgiven my 'little joke'."

Fernina raised her head from the cake and protested vaguely.

"Hmm... I'm making kerosene wine... (I haven't forgiven you)... Wait until I finish eating before you can talk... (Wait until I finish eating before you can talk...)"

After saying that, he went back to working hard.

Zou Rui shrugged and said to Villette

"See, she agreed."

She walked back to her desk, sat down comfortably, crossed her legs, and looked at the Supreme Judge.

"Well, now we can talk about 'business'. About why I became like this, and... the 'game' I want to play with you."

Her tone was still relaxed, but there was a hint of seriousness and inquiry in her eyes.

Villette felt awe at the sight of the "traveler" who had taken his place and dealt with Funina with just two pieces of cake.

He knew that the real conversation was only beginning now.

The purpose of this person who calls himself "Zou Rui" is probably not as simple as "playing games".

Inside the office, the only sounds were the subtle sounds of Funina nibbling at her cake and the gradually growing solemn atmosphere as Villette and Zou Rui stared at each other silently.

Zou Rui's smile deepened. She spoke softly and threw out the real bait.

"Your Excellency the Supreme Inquisitor, do you want to know...about your previous trial of the 'Traveler' and some unknown 'truths'?"
