Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

"Lady Fu-Funina, Master Chang-Chang Ming has fallen into the Primordial Sea!"

Hearing this, Funina, who was already a little uneasy, stood up suddenly.

She turned around and looked at Sedna, who was standing at the door of the office with a bitter face, as if she was about to cry in the next second. Her beautiful heterochromatic eyes were filled with an emotion called "shock".

Ever since she read the note left by Chang Ming...she felt a little uneasy.

She originally thought that her restlessness today was due to the combined effect of "Chang Ming was not by her side today" and "the pressure brought by the approaching prophecy".

But now it seems...the source of her uneasiness is not what she thought.

Looking at Sedna who also looked sad, she slowly asked:

"Sedna... Tell me, who told you this news? Who is cursing my coadjutor?"

Furninna's voice trembled slightly. In fact, she already had the answer in her heart, but she just didn't want to believe it.

——She knew very well how popular Chang Ming was with Meilushin, which meant that it was impossible for Meilushin to lie about anything related to him.

What's more, Sedna is not a simple child. In a sense, she is Chang Ming's work partner. Under the influence of her, the possibility of her being deceived is pitifully low.

But even though she knew this...she still didn't want to believe that what Sedna said was true.

However, before Sedna could respond, hurried footsteps were heard in the corridor, followed by a low, somewhat mournful male voice.

"Lady Furninna...I was the one who told Miss Sedna..."

Silver, who had followed because he was a little worried about Sedna's condition, said so.

As if she noticed the man in a suit and sunglasses, Furninna left the chair in the blink of an eye and came in front of Silver.

"Wasn't Chang Ming helping the residents evacuate in Baisong Town?! Why did he fall into the Primordial Sea?! You are lying to me, right?!"

"Do you know what it is to deceive the gods?! Do you know what it is to curse the regent?!"

Funina's voice gradually became higher, even to the point where the entire Momang Palace could hear her voice.

Hearing what Fernina said, Silver slowly lowered his head. He really didn't know how to explain all this to Fernina.

Looking at the silent Silver in front of her, Finina's face, which was already pale due to panic, suddenly became even paler.

——It was still somewhat bloody before, but now...it is completely pale...

After a brief silence, Silver did not directly answer Funina's question. Instead, he took a deep breath and said:

"Lady Fininna, my name is Silver, and I am the bodyguard of Miss Navia, the current president of the Thorn Rose Society. This time I came to Momang Palace on the orders of Miss Navia to inform Miss Sedna of this matter."

"Lord Chang Ming was indeed helping the residents of Baisong Town to relocate, but... for some unknown reason, the water of the original fetal sea suddenly erupted from the pool at the bottom of Baisong Town."

"And the growth rate of fetal sea water was particularly fast, and Mr. Chang Ming was unable to escape in time, so..."

Silver didn't continue speaking, because those words were quite cruel, not only for him but also for Furninna and Sedna who were present.

He paused for a moment, sighed, and said:

"Right now, Miss Navia is organizing the 52 Thorn Rose Society members who are staying in Baisong Town to conduct a search and rescue operation, hoping to find the whereabouts of Lord Chang Ming."

"I, Silver, a member of the Thorn Rose Society, am willing to take full responsibility for the authenticity of the above content."

Silver's words completely extinguished the remaining hope in Funina's heart.

She staggered back two steps, even forgetting that there was a pile of documents from who knows how long ago behind her.

Sedna, who was standing aside, naturally noticed this. Although her current condition was very bad, Chang Ming always told her to take good care of Funina.

Chang Ming is gone now, but she is still here, and her responsibilities are still here.

Whether as a guard at Momang Palace or as Chang Ming's office assistant, she has the responsibility to protect Funina.

"Lady Finina, be careful!"

Sedna said as she held onto Fininna's hand, which prevented her from falling over the pile of paperwork.

Feeling the furry touch in her hands, a thin layer of mist suddenly appeared in Funina's beautiful heterochromatic eyes.

Furry things always bring a healing feeling to others, and Funina is no exception.

For Funina now...she really needs comfort and healing.

She really wanted to cry, but she couldn't.

——Because Chang Ming is not here, because this is not a small room where she is alone.

She took a deep breath, held back the tears that were welling up in her eyes, and tried hard to regulate her already disordered breathing and heartbeat.

Even though she was on the verge of collapse at this moment, she could only hide the collapse and pain in her heart.

——Because the disguise called "God" cannot have even the slightest flaw.

After a long silence, Furninna opened her eyes slightly and said softly:

"As the god of Fontaine, I should go to Baisong Town to take a look; as his god, I should also participate in the search and rescue work."

After saying that, Funina slowly turned around, picked up the little cat curled up on Chang Ming's desk, and walked out of the office in silence.

She only left Sedna and Silver with a back view that was mysterious and elegant enough.

But what was left for her was...the tears that she could no longer hold back.

When there was no one in front of Furninna, she finally had the right to cry.

When she subconsciously said those words related to "God" just now...she really felt it was ironic.

She calls herself a god and always says "I am your god" in front of him, but at this moment...she is powerless.

Now she could only go to Baisong Town with the hope that was like a candle in the wind, trying to find Chang Ming's trace.

Even though she was now broken inside, she still had to hold on in this world.

Everything in this world has two sides, and so does responsibility.

Responsibility can motivate a person to rise up and make him work harder, but at the same time... responsibility is also a shackle that restrains those whose spirits have long been on the verge of collapse.

The current Funina... is like the latter.

Her spiritual world originally had two spiritual pillars.

One is the "responsibility" entrusted to her by the "self in the mirror", and the other is "Chang Ming".

It was precisely because of the existence of these two pillars that Finina's spirit did not collapse during these five hundred years of solo dance.

Looking back now, "responsibility" seems to have reached its end, while "Chang Ming" is teetering on the edge of collapse.

The changes in the two pillars also indicate that her spiritual world is on the verge of collapse.

The collapse of the spiritual world often means the demise of the body, which means...

Furninha was ready to die after the "prophecy" was over.

Because the only person who made her still cling to this world...is gone.

Writer's block is not what I expected. Every time I have to write about the emotions related to Fu Fu, I get stuck.

This chapter has 2300 words. I actually wrote four versions, totaling more than 9000 words. I wrote from pm last night to am this morning. I chose the one that I thought was okay and posted it.
