Of course, saying she couldn't understand was a joke, but Furina needed some time to process the information.
After all… if this matter wasn't handled properly, the chain reaction it would trigger would be quite significant.
Whether it was herself or Yuto… as long as one of them appeared in the public eye, many inexplicable comments would surface.
What was more crucial was that… the future Yuto and Furina were both, in a sense, public figures.
And as public figures… once any intimate relationship or other details were made public…
The impact on their work and lives would be considerable.
Not to mention Furina's previous identity as "Water God Focalors"—the full disclosure of this relationship would cause an uproar, which was a separate matter…
This would definitely have a huge impact on their future lives.
Yuto was the Deputy Administrator of Fontaine, responsible for external communication and negotiation, as well as balancing the internal forces within Fontaine.
In work involving conflicts of interest, the most taboo thing was the exposure of intimate relationships, especially since she knew exactly what her position was in Yuto's heart.
Once this relationship was exposed, it meant that Yuto would have an absolute weakness exposed.
Whether viewed from her own safety or from Yuto's work… this was not a good thing.
Although the probability of such an event occurring in Fontaine was very, very low, even infinitely close to zero, as long as there was a probability… it meant it could happen.
When this matter had not yet occurred, probability was always just a string of numbers.
But if this matter had already occurred, then the probability was an undeniable one hundred percent.
So… to be on the safe side, this matter had to be completely nipped in the bud.
However, on the other hand…
If she could think of this, couldn't Yuto?
And at the moment this question crossed Furina's mind, Yuto sighed, then gently rubbed Furina's little head as he said:
"But you don't have to worry, Charlotte won't blab."
"She came to see me this morning, confirmed the relationship between you and me, and then… made a pretty serious vow, and then she left."
Hearing this, Furina paused slightly, then hit Yuto's chest in slight displeasure, and said testily:
"Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier! You made me so worried!"
"I just wanted to tease you…"
As Yuto spoke, he slowly embraced the somewhat displeased little cake, then, like a cat seeing catnip, rubbed her little face and said:
"Alright~ don't be angry~ I've already arranged everything, there's nothing to worry about."
"Even if those guys want to cause trouble for you and me… I have full confidence in making them go back where they came from."
"So don't be angry, and don't worry~ okay, my dear Fufu?"
Listening to Yuto's rare half-coaxing, half-explaining tone, Furina let out a giggle, then playfully punched Yuto, and continued:
"Alright~ I'm not angry, but I really was worried, after all… didn't we agree to 'be together, relying on each other, for all eternity'?"
"I don't want either of us… to have an accident."
As Furina spoke, she pressed her small face against his, and then… these two bored individuals rubbed against each other for half a minute under the somewhat shocked gaze of the cat.
(Little Sanhua: What the heck)
...
After a brief moment of affection, Yuto and Furina's behavior finally returned to normal.
And it was at this moment that Furina realized another key aspect of the problem…
Yuto said it was resolved, Charlotte said she would keep it a secret, and even made a solemn vow…
Didn't that mean Yuto told Charlotte about their relationship?!
Although there was no need to worry about the relationship being made public now, which was somewhat harmless in a sense, still—
She really cared!
How did Yuto describe her to outsiders?
Did he say she was his lover? His beloved? Or…
His wife?
Thinking of this, Furina's small face couldn't help but blush, and ripples of curiosity spread in her heart, then she slightly tilted her head, looked at Yuto who was smiling at her, and asked:
"So… how exactly did you… describe me to Charlotte?"
Hearing this, Yuto utilized his expression management skills as an Assistant Administrator, doing his best to control the upward curve of his lips.
Here it comes.
The scene he had been waiting for all day was finally about to arrive!
Looking at Yuto, who was smiling at her, Furina felt a little flustered for a moment, then tentatively asked:
"Is it… lover?"
Yuto shook his head.
"Then… beloved?"
Yuto shook his head again.
"Could it be… wi… fe…"
As Furina spoke, she lowered her head slightly, the blush that had finally faded now returned to her face.
Yuto still didn't speak, he just gently hugged Furina, then stroked her little head and said:
"You are my lover now, my beloved, and in the future, you will be my wife, and the mother of our children."
"My dear Lady Furina, are you satisfied with this answer and response?"
Hearing this, Furina did not flush red as before, nor did she choose to ostrich-style avoid Yuto's rhetorical question.
She gently raised her head, looked at Yuto before her with a smile, and then said:
"I am very satisfied, my lover, my beloved, my future husband, the father of our children."
"I am very satisfied with your answer and response, however…"
"It's getting late… can we rest now? After all, tomorrow… there's something quite important to participate in, isn't there?"
Hearing this, Yuto smiled slightly, then gently lifted Furina in a princess carry from the sofa, and the two of them, under Little Sanhua's gaze… returned to the room.
"Of course, my dear Lady Furina."
