At this time, Funina felt a little more relaxed. She looked at Ying and Paimon and said, "Then let's go and take a look above."
"I don't have any friends to whom I can confide my concerns. Maybe like Navia said, you are the most suitable person."
With that said, the three of them came to the small road in Baisong Town.
Along the way, they met many residents of Baisong Town.
Although the eyes of these residents were not friendly, fortunately they only stood together in twos and threes to discuss, and no conflicts occurred.
Funina Heying said: "Actually, I am very grateful to Ms. Navia for her consideration. To be honest, I am not sure whether I am ready."
“Escape is often the easiest option, but it doesn’t solve any problems or help you overcome any obstacles.”
Paimon: "No wonder you seemed a little hesitant when it came to Baisong Town."
Funina: "Yeah, it's impossible to say that I'm not scared. But I still feel that I should come here again. As I said before, I want to see things that I have never seen with my own eyes."
"If people here are willing to forgive me, then I'll be happy, but if they say something nasty, I'm totally fine with that."
[Amber: Funina has no choice. She has done a lot of things, but she just didn’t tell everyone. It can’t be said that she has done nothing. 】
[Xigwen: Lady Funina, tell me what’s in your heart. 】
[Charlotte: As long as you are willing, I am willing to be your most loyal listener. 】
[Gan Yu: Suddenly I realized that she was so lonely. This was not the life of an ordinary person at all, nor was it the reward for her five hundred years of pain. 】
...
at the same time.
There were more residents in the surrounding Baisong Town, and they were talking about Funina and the others not far away.
Ying: "It seems that many people don't believe Navia's words."
Funina: "Yeah, I can feel those eyes. Maybe they think that coming to Baisong Town wearing a Water God costume is an act of disrespect for the residents here."
"I used to be very afraid of being looked at, especially when I was questioned or resented."
Funina looked around and caught those eyes. She lowered her head in a low mood and whispered: "...Hey, it seems I'm still not ready."
Paimon: "I didn't expect you to be quite strict with yourself."
Ying: "Are you too harsh on yourself?"
Funina: "I can't just see what I want to see. Wouldn't that be the same as before?"
Paimon: "Look, are there more and more people?"
Ying: "The voices of discussion are becoming more and more obvious."
Funina suggested: "Let's not stay here for too long. The entire Baisong Town can be seen from the Rose of Thorns Society's ship. Let's go there and have a look."
[Kujo Sora: Sure enough, the residents here still have a grudge against Funina. 】
[Arataki Yidou: How could this be possible? This obviously has nothing to do with Funina. 】
[Kaia: For most ordinary people, they think that when a disaster occurs, the Water God should stand in front of them and do something for them. 】
[Barbara: Yes, they don’t know that Funina is an ordinary person, so it’s difficult for them to understand Funina. 】
[Ke Qing: Even if the residents of Baisong Town know that Funina saved Fontaine, the people who died here still cannot come back, so they will definitely have resentment. 】
[Ningguang: Human selfishness is natural, but it is also unreasonable. 】
[Gan Yu: Maybe only the long river of time can make them feel relieved. 】
[Amber: I don’t think Funina needs to be so harsh on herself, she has done enough! 】
...
in the screen.
After a while, the three of them arrived at the big ship of the Rose of Thorns Society.
Funina: "Sorry, maybe you are in the mood for a walk, but I am talking about some heavy topics."
Paimon comforted: "It's okay, you are quite new like this."
Funina: "Well, please stay with me for a little longer. Thank you."
"Perhaps you can also feel that my refusal to accept my past self is not just because I have endured pain and loneliness for too long."
“Standing beside the boat, I can’t help but picture the rising water level in my mind.”
Speaking of this, Fu Nina's voice gradually became choked.
"One life after another melted into water, and the lives and memories that the residents of Baisong Town cherished were turned into nothing."
"Under the protection of gods, people firmly believe that there will be powerful beings who will come forward before disaster strikes. I also used to perform performances constantly to make them believe that it was true... But the water level really started to rise. When the time came, the ‘Water God’ remained indifferent.”
Paimon: "You can't say that. You had your own responsibilities at that time."
Ying: "Don't be so harsh on yourself."
Funina continued: "In order to protect the truth, I have been going through similar things. The more this happens, the more painful and lonely I become."
"Gradually, I lost everything but the truth."
"I was also afraid that I would completely fail and sit in my seat and cry."
"Fortunately, with the help of you and many heroes, we have avoided the worst ending."
"Everyone takes up their responsibilities, and I am free again..."
Funina paused and sighed: "If you think about it carefully, freedom means not being needed, because I am of no use anymore."
Paimon: "I didn't expect you to think so..."
Ying retorted: "That's not the case, freedom is your reward!"
Hearing this, Funina showed a puzzled expression: "Award?"
Ying: "Yes, at least you can speak your mind bravely. At least, you don't have to be in pain and loneliness anymore."
Funina seemed to have figured it out: "...Yeah. Having someone to talk to was something I couldn't even think about in the past. Because I have to keep important secrets, I'm very afraid that others will notice the real me. .So I often escape-'Just believe in Funina on stage, that's the image you should trust.'"
"In life, whether it's curiosity or inner emotions, I can't let others notice. This is why I said before that I am not a person who maintains friendly relationships well."
Paimon said mischievously: "So that's it. I thought it was just your private personality that makes people hate you easily."
Funina: "You always contradict me today! It's the way you talk that makes people annoying!"
Ying: "Paimon doesn't want you to be so depressed all the time. It does make you feel better after saying it, right?"
Funina: "Well, I used to only have the truth, and now I'm finally free. Although I don't know where I'm going to go yet, but..."
Funina said with relief: "I have the right to choose."
"Okay, it's almost time to go back. The ending of the script should have been written by now."
Paimon: "Well, okay, let's go back and take a look."
[Amber: With her burden lifted, Funina finally has the opportunity to express her heart to others. 】
[Xiang Ling: Funina can finally live as an ordinary person, so happy. 】
[Ke Lai: It's obviously not her responsibility, and it's obvious that she can't do anything about it, but she still can't be indifferent to the disaster that's happening in front of her. 】
[Kamizato Ayaka: God gave her a kind and pure heart, but did not give her the ability to save all sentient beings. 】
[Keqing: There has never been a god who is omnipotent. Even the emperor cannot protect everyone, not to mention Funina is just an ordinary person. 】
[Qin: Funina rejected herself in the past five hundred years, not only because of the shackles and loneliness of endless performances, but also because of the guilt and self-blame for being unable to prevent the disasters that happened in the past. 】
[Keli: I really want to hug sister Funina, but Keli doesn’t want sister Funina to be unhappy. 】
[Xingqiu: Funina is very grateful to the "heroes" who helped Fontaine survive this crisis, but she has forgotten that she is the most critical hero. 】
[Kaia: Obviously, Funina hasn’t realized her greatness yet! 】
[Chongyun: Yes, she was a hero who stood up five hundred years ago! 】
[Xigwen: Yes, Lady Funina is the real hero, the hero among heroes. 】
[Maplehara Manyo: Sometimes, perhaps we ourselves have never realized that there are many heroes in our lives who are silently contributing. 】
[Barbara: Funina must come to Mondstadt to play in the future. May the God of Wind protect you. 】
[Keqing: From now on Funina should travel to Liyue and celebrate the Lantern Festival together. 】
[Xiao Gong: If you have the chance to come to Inazuma, I will customize your own fireworks for you and show you the most beautiful fireworks. 】
[Gan Yu: It was so heartbreaking when Funina said she was unnecessary and useless. 】
[Ying: It is very necessary for Funina to meet Wendy. 】
[Paimon: Oh, yes, we need @Wendy, a singer, to help Funina correct her understanding of "freedom". 】
[Wendy: Hey, are you talking about me? Then let me, the best bard in the world, talk about my understanding of "freedom". "Freedom" means - even if the wind blows, never give up in life. 】
