Tokyo Ghost Diary

"Everyone will dissolve in the sea, leaving only the water god himself crying on the throne. Only then will the sins of the Fontaine people be washed away."

"What's going on? My memory seems to be all fuzzy, but I remember this prophecy very clearly...will the content in the language actually happen?"

Funina asked herself in the mirror.

She replied in the mirror: "At least, there is a half chance that it will happen."

"Half?" Another person appeared in the mirror. The silver-haired boy standing next to him in the mirror sighed helplessly and said, "Don't have such high expectations for me. Haven't you seen the future?"

"Eh? Why are there two people in the mirror...who are you?"

"He is the only person you can trust unconditionally." The self in the mirror said to Funina outside the mirror. Then she looked at the young man in the mirror and said with a smile: "Doesn't this mean that I am absolutely devoted to you?" Do you trust me? I believe that you, who are from outside the world, will definitely be able to break the predetermined fate and show it to me."

"...If there was absolute trust, then this scene wouldn't have happened."

The boy in the mirror rolled his eyes.

The self in the mirror covered her mouth and chuckled: "Oh, I've been exposed..."

"Maybe, you can really win, maybe you can really bring back the miracle, but what are the possibilities? I am willing to believe you, but I can't gamble with Fontaine's fate on that slim hope. .”

She closed her eyes in the mirror, and when she opened them again, she was looking at Funina outside the mirror.

"So, Funina, I will tell you a way for Fontaine to crack the prophecy."

..."I want you to play the role of the water god of Fontaine..."

..."Nynox is the only person you can trust, and he will help you..."

..."If you have any troubles...hey, you're welcome, just tell him as much as you want~"

... "Of course, if he wins, then you treat it as a role-playing game, but if he loses... Funina, Fontaine's future is up to you."

The boy in the mirror stepped into reality and smiled at her: "Please give me more advice in the future."

......

"Um, hello, I'm Funina...what should I call you?"

"Just call me by name."

"...Nenox, right?"

......

"Well, what should I do when I play the role of a god? The Privy Council has announced to the public that I will succeed the Water God. Next, I have to face the people of Fontaine... What image should I show to avoid being suspected by everyone? Woolen cloth?"

"Well - how about a gorgeous debut? For example, first make the sky look cloudy, and then you step on a waterspout. Water bombs fly out from the sea as a salute, washing away the dark clouds in the sky, creating a cloud-clearing scene. Scenes and stuff like that.”

"Eh-?! Can you do it?"

"Ha, it's just a small problem. Use such a grand scene to scare the people. As long as you show a little dignity, no one will doubt you."

"Awesome! This is a great method! I was very nervous at first, but now that you say this, I suddenly look forward to it!"

......

"How does it feel to be a god?"

"Other than the guilty conscience, it's actually quite novel. Everyone regards me as the real water god... although it's a bit tiring to pretend and act all the time."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Think on the bright side. Since you are responsible for the position of Water God, you can also make good use of the convenience of this position, such as collecting all Watt's food, wine, etc..."

......

"Wow - I'm so tired. Day after day, I have to do almost the same thing every day. I feel so scared and guilty every day. How long will it take for these days to end? Nynox - I'm so tired! "

"It's only been a month and you can't stand it anymore?"

"Ugh... I'm just complaining to you~"

"Haha~ Actually, I have an idea that can give you a little holiday."

"Eh? What what? Say it, say it!"

"Simple, that is, I will turn into your appearance and help you work for a few days..."

"Is this okay? That's great, Nynox, hehe - a vacation, a vacation!"

......

"Nnox, ​​I want to rest for a few days, can you go back to help me? Today's case was so sad, I almost cried during the trial! I think I need to rest for a few days and relax. Refresh yourself!"

"Rejected, this reason was used last week."

"Hey - I'm serious! Look, my eyes are still red!"

......

......

"...It's time for me to leave. The throne in the sky is already looking for my traces. If I continue to stay here, it will only draw attention to Fontaine."

"Don't worry, don't be afraid. In the past six months, your image as the Water God has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of Fontaine, and your performance has become very comfortable."

"If I fail to come back, Fontaine's future will depend on you."

"...Remember, if I really don't come back, even if you see me again in a long time in the future, don't trust me at that time..."

"Forget it, a glimpse hundreds of years later may not be accurate... and I may not necessarily lose, just pretend I didn't say it."

——"You...where are you going?"

"What does it mean if you can't come back?"

"Are you in danger?"

"No, I can't do it if you're not by my side! I don't even have the Eye of God. If someone asks me to use elemental power... won't I reveal my secret right away?"

"If you weren't here, I wouldn't even have anyone to talk to...I..."

"Is it okay if I don't leave?"

The back figure gradually moved toward the invisible end of the field of vision. No matter how hard Funina chased it, she couldn't catch up. She stretched out her hands to grab something, but this was obviously doomed to be in vain.

.....

In Momang Palace, Funina suddenly opened her eyes. She glanced around in panic and found that she had fallen asleep on the sofa.

She stood up and walked to the window, blankly overlooking the scene outside Fontainebleau.

......

After all, Ying and Paimon's "prison" life did not last for seven days.

Even just in the afternoon of the next day, guards came to release them, saying that someone was on bail.

The two of them were new to Fontaine and were unfamiliar with the place. They really didn't expect who would come to fish for them.

Following the guards on the corridor leaving the detention center, Paimon whispered, "Could it be Charlotte? Otherwise we wouldn't have any other friends in Fontaine."

"It can't be Catherine, right?"

Ying said calmly: "There's no need to guess here. I should be able to see you later."
