"I'm forcing a smile... I, the God, don't force a smile."

Finina bit her lip and muttered stubbornly.

After taking a last look at the entrance of Melo Petersburg, Finina suppressed the bitterness in her heart and went back.

Although the person is gone, his traces remain.

The original dessert shop closed and is no longer in business.

The recipe for the dessert and an apology letter were also left in the room.

“I am deeply honored to have been favored by the Water God for decades.

I naturally know that you have hidden something from me, and I am ashamed that I also have something to hide from you.

Let me apologize to you here first.

Please believe me, this is a choice I had no choice but to make, and I have no selfish motives.

But putting these things aside, the daily life I spend with you is real and shining.

If you also have such a feeling, it means that I have done a good job. Thank you for your love.

Alas, this time I go, I will definitely spend the remaining half of my life, or less than half of my life, underwater.

When I am old and frail, if you miss me, please don't visit me.

Just let me live in your memory as young as possible.

Also, the reason I'm so persistent about the things you've concealed is because you seem to be very unhappy about them.

If I didn't know what it was, I couldn't enlighten you - and in the end I still didn't know.

Well, there's no other way. I can only say: please don't be unhappy, go out and relax from time to time, don't let busy things disturb your mind, and relax more.

Well...otherwise, there doesn't seem to be much to say.

As a god, you have always been blessing others. If you don't mind, let me bless you in the end:

May you always be happy.

(No blessing for health, because you are a god, so you don’t need my blessing for this, right?)

------

Attached:

The dessert recipe is at your disposal.

Could you please apologize to my parents one last time on my behalf? They always hoped that I would get married and have children. It's a pity that I couldn't fulfill their wish. There's no chance anymore.

It may sound a bit offensive, but I am an ordinary person, and sometimes I wonder, if you were not a god, what kind of story would happen between us?

"

...

Back in her room, Furninda read the letter word by word.

It is placed on top of the dessert recipe.

"If I'm not a god... I clearly wasn't..."

Funina's eyes were sore, and every detail of the past events flashed before her eyes.

-

"Yu Xiuwen! Strawberry cake, I want to eat this today!"

"Okay, okay~"

-

"Yu Xiuwen, come with me to the opera house. I heard today's case is very interesting. Ah, you've read the case file in advance, right? No spoilers!"

"must."

-

"It's so touching—What? No, no, I didn't cry. I admit that the plot of this book is indeed well handled, but it's not enough to move this god to tears—Hey, what are you looking at?!"

-

"I tell you, it's a pity you didn't go to the opera house today, otherwise you would have seen how majestic I am."

"You also have a majestic side."

"Hey, I'm usually very dignified, okay—never mind, I'll talk to you later.

At the trial, my people were talking and making a lot of noise, which was annoying. I said, "Stop making noise, or I will be angry." Then Villette also struck his cane, and suddenly there was silence.

Alas, there is no way, even this god has to show his serious side sometimes."

"Is it possible that they were quiet because of Mr. Villette?"

"...Yu Xiuwen, you really didn't give me face today. Everyone was afraid of me back then—at least part of the reason was because they were afraid of me, there must be a small part of the reason, right?"

-

"Lady Funina?"

"Ah, Yu Xiuwen, you came so early today... Don't look, don't look!"

"Pfft, I didn't expect Lady Funina to be so... cute when she's still half asleep."

"! Don't say anything! Sentence, I'm going to sentence you!"

-

"Hmm... Lady Finina, I'm actually quite handsome, right? Another little girl confessed her love to me yesterday."

"Confess? Who dares... Ahem, I mean, stop being so narcissistic."

"Lady Finina, can you please be more objective?"

"I'm already being very objective...don't get so close, handsome, handsome, okay?"

-

"You can play music?"

"I've been with you to the opera so many times, I can't possibly remain completely clueless, so I've learned a little bit."

"You're really studious. Well, very good. You won't lose face for me if you go out. Now, I command you to sing a song for me!"

"I refuse... Okay, no problem."

-

...

The past is like smoke, which disappears as soon as it is blown away.

It's just a fleeting illusion.

Just like Yu Xiuwen thought, if she was just an ordinary human, could she meet him? Could they spend ordinary time together?

They even took over the business of running a dessert shop together in place of his parents and stayed together for the rest of their lives.

Once upon a time, as a human, Furninna also fantasized about a partner.

He should be handsome and be able to share happiness and sadness with her.

He was gentle and considerate, and treated her well with all his heart.

And she will return the same love to him, and grow old together...

Unfortunately, it's just a fantasy.

At this point, those are all empty fantasies.

------

Time does not stop because of people.

Aging comes to everyone equally, no matter where they are.

After several decades, Yu Xiuwen finally grew old.

In the past few decades, nothing strange has happened in Fontainebleau outside, and the thunder that happened in the past has disappeared without a trace.

Maybe it’s because I really can’t find him.

Funina came a few times, but Yu Xiuwen did not see her. He just let her hear the voice of his own aging.

He could feel the loneliness and sadness surrounding her.

Although her tone was the same as before, it perfectly matched the image of a god that the people of Fontaine had imagined...

Lying on the bed, Yu Xiuwen was in a daze, thinking about the past.

Ah, got it.

This is what she is hiding.

She disguised herself as the god that the people of Fontaine hoped for, instead of being herself...

I see…

But why did she do this? It would be nice to know more about her past...

With a little confusion, Yu Xiuwen fell silent.

...

After meeting the people from Fontaine all day, Funina has fallen asleep.

But a sudden uneasiness woke her up suddenly.

After looking around and finding nothing unusual, she fell asleep again in confusion.

Maybe I'm too tired.

It wasn't until the next day that she accidentally discovered that she had forgotten the name of someone she had been thinking about recently.

I hurried to Melo Petersburg to inquire about him, but learned that he had died last night and his body had mysteriously disappeared this morning.

No one remembers his name or what he looks like.

Furninna almost couldn't maintain her expression and collapsed to the ground.
