As for Furina, looking at her other self, she had thought she would say something to her, even if it was just a simple “long time no see”…
But she walked right past her.
At that moment, the bitterness in Fufu’s heart almost burst out.
She thought the other party was dissatisfied with her actions and wanted to leave directly, not even wanting to say a single word to her.
But after passing her, her other self stopped and stood by her side so naturally, which completely baffled her.
*What…
what on earth is going on here?*
“Why is everyone staring at me?” Eris put on a surprised look and glanced at Chevreuse, her patrol members, and Neuvillette, who were all staring at her.
“Arrest them!
And these girls—don’t tell me you didn’t bring the medical personnel they need?”
“Uh, that…
who are you…” Chevreuse couldn’t even speak properly at this point.
She was usually a decisive and swift person, but what happened today was simply too mind-boggling.
Everyone looked at her upon hearing this, including Fufu.
They all had the same question in their minds: *Who are you?*
“Didn’t you tell them?” Hearing this, Eris turned to look at Fufu.
“Ah…
I…
well…” Fufu’s mind was in a complete mess.
“Is this something that can be said?”
“What’s there to hide about me being a clone you split off specifically to investigate the young girls’ disappearance case?” Eris winked at Fufu.
“You didn’t sleep so much that you forgot even this, did you?”
“…Clone?
Yes, clone!” Hearing this, Furina immediately caught on.
As someone who had stabilized Fontaine for five hundred years, she naturally reacted quickly.
“Your efficiency is simply too slow!
I almost forgot you existed!”
“Complaining about my efficiency?” Hearing this, Eris raised an eyebrow.
“Then grant me more authority next time!”
She pretended to be dissatisfied, pulling over her Vision and tapping it.
“Just a single Vision without giving me any divine power.
How can I be fast with just this?”
“I had to miserably dismantle a bunch of Clockwork Meka with my bare hands.
Do you know how hard those things are?
My hands are still sore!”
“Right, speaking of Clockwork Meka,” Eris suddenly turned to Chevreuse.
“Remember to investigate the origin of this batch of Clockwork Meka.
Find out exactly who sold them to these criminals.
I suspect those people are also acting as a protective umbrella for them.”
“Once you find out, parade them through the streets on charges of attacking the Hydro Archon.
Let all of Fontaine see!”
“Understood!” Hearing this, Chevreuse stood at attention and saluted, not finding anything wrong with the command at all.
She had wanted to investigate those people for a long time, but she couldn’t.
They were too deeply rooted in the Fontaine government, and Chief Justice Neuvillette was too rigid, never doing anything outside his jurisdiction.
Lady Furina…
for some reason, she hadn’t taken any action either.
But now, it seemed they could finally sweep away those parasites living off Fontaine.
The surrounding patrol members sprang into action, beginning to arrest the criminals.
The accompanying medical staff also started administering emergency treatment to the rescued girls, who would then be sent to the hospital for more detailed examinations.
“Um, about divine power…” Fufu stammered as she looked at Eris, wanting to say something.
“I know, divine power cannot be abused,” Eris shook her head.
“That’s why I was just complaining to you.”
Then, the two of them just stared at each other, not knowing what else to say.
Neuvillette, standing to the side, also looked completely bewildered.
He had truly never encountered such a situation before.
The patrol members escorted the arrested thugs past them.
The thugs looked so cowering, as if they were terrified the Hydro Archon would tear them apart alive.
Until Vacher was escorted over.
“Hydro Archon!
Hydro Archon!
Is what you said true?” He looked at the two Furinas unwillingly.
“Is she really waiting for me there?”
“Why don’t you go and see for yourself?” Hearing this, Eris felt a surge of anger and wanted to kick Vacher right in the face.
But considering Fufu was right beside her, she could only hold back and urge him to check the Fountain of Lucine instead.
She wasn’t lying to Vacher; his lover, Vigneire, was indeed waiting for him there.
Though his lover wasn’t the only one there, hehe.
Soon, all the criminals were escorted away, and the rescued girls were transferred by the medical staff.
Watching them pass by her one by one with gratitude, Eris felt immensely satisfied.
“Let’s go, we should head back to the Palais Mermonia,” Fufu said eagerly.
She truly had so many questions to ask this unfamiliar version of herself.
But it was hard to speak of such things in public, so she could only wait until they got back and found some time alone.
“Let’s go then,” Eris didn’t mind.
She had already started to slack off.
As for the future, she could only take it one step at a time.
Meanwhile, Neuvillette was extremely curious.
“Lady Furina, your clone’s personality seems a bit…”
He didn’t say it outright, but anyone with eyes could see that their personalities were worlds apart.
“Well, there’s nothing I can do.
If you want to blame someone, blame her,” Eris shrugged.
“She felt it would be weird if I was too much like her, so she didn’t give me any of her memories at all.
Do you know?
I don’t even know how to get to the Palais Mermonia!”
“Solving this case was entirely due to my own hard work!”
