At this moment, Yuto was unaware that the rats in the gutters had already begun preparing their second operation against him.
For the current Yuto, the opinions and actions of those people were actually not important.
After all, Yuto had been in the position of Assistant Administrator for nearly five hundred years, encountering death threats and witnessing many chaotic events.
The seemingly clever tricks they were now using were actually things Yuto had already encountered or discarded.
He just needed to adapt as situations arose; instead of constantly thinking about what those who stood against him were planning, he might as well consider how to spend time with his little blue cake.
Thinking of this, Yuto slightly turned his head and smiled gently as he looked at Furina, who was completely sunken into the sofa and unwilling to get up.
"Are you tired? Should we rest early today?"
Furina gently shook her little head, then slowly leaned against Yuto's shoulder and softly said:
"Not tired, just feeling... a bit fatigued."
"Before today, I always felt I was ready to step into the crowd, ready to face the future, but when it actually happened, I still felt... powerless."
Hearing this, Yuto nodded without surprise, as if he had long anticipated that Furina would be in this state.
After all, Furina was currently rediscovering herself; even if she had already decided what kind of demeanor she should adopt when facing the world and life... she still needed a buffer period.
"It's alright, this is just the beginning, and it hasn't even officially started yet."
"In a couple of days... once we find those two scattered individuals and you officially begin guiding and participating in the troupe's performances, your state will recover very quickly~"
As Yuto spoke, he gently rubbed Furina's little head, as if making up for the regret of not being able to pat her head earlier in the reception room because of Neuvillette.
Feeling the warmth from above, Furina gently nuzzled Yuto, then slowly closed her eyes and fell into thought.
She was considering... how to make Yuto confess.
After all, something that could make both Yuto and Neuvillette avoid her... was probably not a good thing.
"So, you knew this was dangerous, but you still chose to continue, even planning to team up with Neuvillette to keep me in the dark?"
Furina slightly furrowed her beautiful brows and thought this.
She didn't need to worry about the Fontaine Prophecy or other natural disasters now; what she needed to do was find herself in life, and then... ensure Yuto's safety.
Although Yuto's strength meant he didn't need protection from an ordinary person like her, as the only person in Fontaine who could directly influence Yuto's decisions...
She should receive information before Yuto intended to make dangerous decisions, and then decide whether to join him or prevent him from doing so.
Thinking of this, Furina softly sighed, then asked:
"Yuto, are you hiding something from me? What you and Neuvillette were just talking about wasn't really about a solution for the nobles, was it?"
Hearing this, the gentle smile on Yuto's face suddenly stiffened, and his body also became somewhat rigid.
Although Yuto's stiffness from his lie being exposed didn't last long, for Furina, who was beside him... it was enough.
Just from that moment of stiffness, Furina already knew she was right.
And Yuto also knew that since Furina had already figured this out, no matter how much he wanted to keep it a secret, he couldn't anymore.
Considering this, Yuto sighed softly, then whispered:
"I still can't fool you, can I...?"
"I've spent so much time with you, overheard so many of your meetings with others; your speaking habits, your behavior... I've seen it all and kept it in my heart."
With that, Furina slowly raised her head, her beautiful heterochromatic eyes slowly opening, gazing calmly at Yuto.
She wasn't angry, nor did she make a fuss; she simply wanted to know what he was going to do and make an appropriate judgment.
Just like those old-fashioned declarations of love she mentioned earlier, Furina had long considered herself Yuto's wife.
Therefore... as a wife, the most important thing to do is understand what her husband is doing and provide as much help as possible.
She knew that once Yuto made up his mind to do something, no one could stop him.
Precisely for this reason, she needed to know Yuto's reasons for doing so, at least... to be able to make the correct judgment in a crisis.
Thinking of this, Furina tightened her arms, then murmured as if to herself:
"It can be said that you are the person in all of Fontaine who understands me best, and I am the person in all of Fontaine who understands you best."
"I know I can't stop you, but I want to know... what exactly you are going to do, what you will face in the future, and whether you need my help."
"That's all."
Hearing Furina's words, Yuto's heart trembled slightly, then he lowered his head slightly and whispered:
"I want to... bring back those who were swallowed by the Primordial Sea."
"Although I cannot make them fully return, at least I can let their relatives and friends see them one last time."
As Yuto spoke, he snapped his fingers, and a mass of purplish-black mist immediately appeared in his hand.
"This is...?"
Looking at the ominous mist, Furina slightly frowned and asked tentatively.
"This is a power from the Abyss, originating from the same source as my combat state 'Law Enforcement Agency'."
"By constructing a 'pipeline' using the power of the Abyss and stealing a bit of power from the Earth Veins, we can form true 'memories' and 'vessels'."
"Now... Neuvillette has become a 'Complete Dragon' with full water element authority; he can now control the Primordial Sea."
"By using the power of the Abyss to extract those consciousnesses from the Primordial Sea and inject them into bodies created jointly by the power of the Primordial Sea and the power of the Abyss... this can be achieved."
"Although I don't know if I will be targeted by the heavenly principles for this, as long as I don't cross the red line of 'creating life' like Egeria, I am safe."
At this point, Yuto paused slightly, then continued:
"I don't know if it will succeed, but I feel... that I now possess the power to interfere with the world, so why should I leave any regrets?"
