For Yuto and Furina, their trip to Beryl Region was not only to help the troupe find someone but also to fulfill a promise.
The promise they made with Miss Navia and the residents of Beryl Region.
What would the rebuilt Beryl Region look like? And what would the residents' attitude towards them be?
Thinking of this, Furina slightly tilted her head to look at Yuto beside her, her beautiful heterochromatic eyes showing a mix of anticipation and fear.
The anticipation was for her to see the new appearance of Beryl Region, to see the true reactions of the people who signed that scroll towards her.
As for the fear... Furina didn't know what posture to adopt to face them.
As the "former Water God Furina"? Or as "Furina"?
Although Furina had appeared on many occasions and had used the identity of "Furina" to interact with others, she should have adapted quite a bit by now.
But next, she would face so many residents of Beryl Region at once. If they were truly as enthusiastic as written on the scroll...
She would truly be at a loss.
Feeling Furina's complicated gaze, Yuto smiled softly, then crossed his arms, slowly closed his eyes, looking as if to say, "It's up to you."
But...
How could Yuto watch his little cake be troubled by these problems?
Given that there were many people on the ship and he needed to maintain a basic sense of mystery for Furina, Yuto could not speak directly.
As the Electro particles in the air began to stir, Yuto's voice entered Furina's ears without warning.
"Fufu~ To maintain a basic sense of mystery and our privacy, I can't tell you directly how to handle this, so I can only use elemental power to transmit the message."
"Actually, you don't need to rush to imagine what kind of treatment and scenes you'll face when you arrive in Beryl Region. Instead, think about what you want to say and do."
"Think about the people of Fontaine in Fontaine that you saved; their attitude towards you is respectful but not overly intrusive."
"So I think... the residents of Beryl Region might also be like this, at most a few bold ones will come up and talk to you."
"After all, in their eyes, you are still their God."
Yuto's tone was very gentle, as if he was comforting a startled kitten at this moment.
Hearing this, Furina slightly turned her head, her beautiful heterochromatic eyes fixed on Yuto, who had his eyes closed, then she whispered:
"So... that's how it is?"
After saying this, Furina gently nodded, as if she already knew what to do next.
Although she still felt a little uneasy, it was much better than her previous state of uncertainty and not knowing what to do.
Looking at the surging waves outside the porthole, a gentle smile appeared on Furina's face.
"Perhaps after fully experiencing their stories and fully feeling the residents of Beryl Region's attitude towards me, I will become more accustomed to the identity of 'Furina'?"
Furina tilted her head, the smile on her face becoming more pronounced, like a child who had found a favorite toy.
Looking at the happy Furina beside him, a gentle smile also appeared on Yuto's lips.
Just as he had said before, no one could replace the process of finding oneself; Furina had to complete this entire process herself.
And now... it was time to check the results.
He was genuinely happy for her.
What could be more joyful than a girl who had played God for five hundred years rediscovering her true self?
...
The waves stirred by the ship seemed unable to resist the erosion of time, gradually breaking into fragments as time passed, eventually turning into spray and dissipating on the sea surface.
The scenery outside the porthole also changed from the boundless sea to land, indicating that they had arrived at the island where Beryl Region was located.
Paimon, who had just stepped out of the ship's cabin, was stretching her body freely, then exclaimed loudly:
"I wonder if it's just my imagination, but every time I come out of the cabin, the air feels so good!"
Looking at Paimon, who was like a living treasure beside her, Lumine crossed her arms, a hint of helplessness in her golden eyes.
There was nothing she could do; her guide was like this, only needing to babble nonsense, but Lumine, as a travel companion, had much more to consider.
And just as Lumine was about to ask Paimon to restrain herself a bit... a lively girl's voice came from afar.
"Mr. Yuto! And Lady Furina! Over here, over here~"
"Miss Navia, watch your step!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a blonde girl in an exquisite Western dress, holding a parasol, and wearing black sunglasses, running towards them quickly with two people in black suits.
Seeing the three figures rapidly approaching them, a look of understanding flashed in Paimon's black eyes.
She turned to look at Yuto beside her, then said with a grin:
"I knew Yuto had everything arranged!"
Yuto smiled softly at her words, saying nothing more, then asked Miss Navia, who had just run up to him:
"How is the recent construction in Beryl Region going? Is it smooth?"
Miss Navia nodded quickly, then said:
"Yes! The new Beryl Region on the surface has already taken shape. Although it's still under construction... it's enough to receive guests!"
As Miss Navia spoke, she looked at the Traveler beside Yuto, then said:
"Alright! I'll take everyone to explore the new Beryl Region that's under construction. I hope you can successfully resolve your matters here!"
...
Under Miss Navia's lead, everyone quickly arrived at the location of the new Beryl Region.
Just as Miss Navia had said earlier, Beryl Region had already taken initial shape at this moment. Although it was still under construction, it was sufficient to receive foreign guests.
Looking at the people carrying various building materials coming and going in Beryl Region, Miss Navia couldn't help but exclaim:
"Originally, everyone in Beryl Region wasn't very keen on moving out of that deep pit, but..."
"But after the precursor disaster occurred, everyone started figuring out how to move from underground to the surface."
At this point, Miss Navia paused slightly, then put away her parasol and sunglasses, her misty blue eyes looking at Yuto and Furina with reverence, then she said:
"Mr. Yuto, Lady Furina, I, Miss Navia, President of Spina di Rosula, on behalf of all residents of Beryl Region, express our highest respect for the help you provided to Beryl Region during the disaster."
