Chapter 879 They all covered her with [something].
Sue remembered the gemstone watch ring, "Furina, you really do have the same one."
The Lake Maiden's Tears, according to Chiori, is a watch ring designed and made by the owner of a watch shop for the water goddess.
Because of its exquisite movement craftsmanship and gorgeous design, the watch successfully earned the name of Funina and became famous in Fontainebleau.
It's really pretty; she bought one and wore it for fun.
"I have one too, let me show you!" Su rummaged through her backpack but found nothing. "Huh? Where did it go?"
“It didn’t fall off,” Funina said shyly, turning her face away. “This is yours.”
Sue glanced at the Lake Maiden's Tear in the box, then looked at where Funina's gaze had fallen. There was a large and luxurious jewelry cabinet there, and another Lake Maiden's Tear was lying quietly on a cushion.
Feeling Sue's gaze shifting back and forth between the two Lake Maiden's Tears, Funina became even more embarrassed.
“That time…” Funina began to recount the diplomatic meeting that involved the Travelers’ Squad.
Su remembered that she had found the meeting boring and had started playing with Funina's hand halfway through.
It wasn't until after the meeting that Paimon reminded her that she realized she had taken one of Furnessa's gloves.
Finally, Sue took the gloves to the front desk of the Mo Mang Palace and asked the staff member on duty, Melusin, to give them to Funina.
Funina: "The watch ring was in the returned glove." She thought it was an apology from Sue.
Sue: "Oh..." I see. She probably took off her ring when she took off her gloves.
Funina closed the lid and put the box back in the trunk. "Once it's in my hands, it's mine. Don't even think about taking it back!"
“It’s yours, it’s yours,” Su Dafang said, then wondered why, since Funina liked the watch so much, she didn’t take both of them with her.
Besides the watch and ring, there's a whole cabinet of gorgeous gemstone jewelry, so... I don't want any of it?
Funina folded the clothes that had fallen out of the box, saying, "Because those belong to the water god."
Unlike the one she was taking away, the Lake Maiden's Tear in the jewelry cabinet was a tribute from the Lepot Watch Shop to the water goddess.
Besides the Lake Maiden's Tears, there were also those precious ornaments and many other things, all obtained because of her identity as the Water Goddess.
Now that the "performance" is over, she wants to be herself.
The most important thing is to sever the identity of the water god.
She didn't want to play other people anymore, and she was also afraid that if she wore the glamorous mask of "Water Goddess" for too long, she would forget her true self.
Su understood Funina's thoughts, but also felt that there was no need to cut ties so completely. "After five hundred years of hard work, you deserve this little bit of compensation."
“What do you mean ‘so little’? Those are very expensive!” Fu Ningna said that every item here is an antique or artwork that an ordinary family could not afford even if they saved up for a lifetime.
Even after holding a high position for centuries, Funina was not blinded by luxury. She knew what the lifestyle and price anchors of ordinary people were like.
"What's going on? This is making me think you're even cuter." Su muttered to herself, then worried about what would happen to Funina's retirement life if she didn't take this or that.
“Don’t worry, I have assets and savings.” Funina took a book out of the box.
When Funina opened it, Su discovered it was an exquisite safe box containing paper documents and several bankbooks, with a considerable amount of money on them.
“These are what I earned while hiding my identity,” Fu Ningna said, pointing to copyright documents and bankbooks as she recounted her path to wealth.
After experiencing the chaos of war until she successfully played the role of the water goddess, and her life and political affairs gradually returned to normal, she began to feel lost.
The "self in the mirror" no longer appears, and the promised "final act" is nowhere to be seen.
"I began to suspect that it was a terrible hoax, and even wondered if the real water god had died long ago. And I was just a prop kept in the dark in a huge conspiracy, helping the reflection in the mirror to deceive everything."
Funina didn't dwell on her anxiety, breakdowns, and fears during that period, but instead spoke in a light and humorous tone about her solutions.
"I thought, if it really is a scam, I have to run away! If I run away, I need money! So I figured out a way to secretly make money."
Funina immediately ruled out the idea of making money by knowing the policies in advance. "How can a goddess of justice break the law! Uh... although I'm not, well, I don't do anything illegal anyway."
The plan that could easily make a fortune was rejected by Funina, and some tasks were not something that the Water Goddess could do.
Funina: "Fortunately, I am very artistically talented! I can handle things like composing music and adapting scripts with ease."
Fulina became a behind-the-scenes creator, and over hundreds of years, her royalties, interest, and occasional private investments accumulated enough savings to live a comfortable life.
Su clapped her hands. It was good that Funina had a plan; it showed that she had expectations for the future, and her current low mood was only temporary.
"I'm relieved, I'm relieved, go to sleep." Su walked towards the bed.
It was already quite late at night. After chatting for so long, Funina felt relaxed and began to feel sleepy.
Funina: "Phew... I'm sleepy too. See you tomorrow, remember to wake me up on time..."
Su: "Get up at eleven o'clock? If you get up, you can find someone to have dinner with."
Funina: "That's too late! Never mind, I'll wake you up."
The two girls lay face to face on the bed. Sue hugged Paimon, who was fast asleep, and stretched her legs out to rest on Funina's legs.
Funina opened her eyes, "...It's so heavy, put it down."
Su withdrew one leg. "It's not heavy, you're just too thin."
“I can’t build muscle right away,” Furina said, reaching out to take the girl’s hand. “How about this?”
"It's alright, I guess." With both relatives and friends pressed against him, Su closed his eyes with satisfaction.

The water level in Fontainebleau has dropped to a safe level, but the chaos following the floods still keeps people very busy.
After finishing the aid work in one area, Kong met with Navelette. "Here are the situation statistics."
"You've worked hard." Navelette's brow relaxed considerably after reviewing the documents, then hesitantly reminded her, "Behind you..."
Kong turned her head and saw a colorful spot on her shoulder. She reached behind her back and peeled off a colorful sticker—a cat-themed sticker with a flower-sprinkling expression.
There was more than one sticker on Kong's body.
His entire back was covered in colorful stickers from Su, and he finally understood why the Fontainebleau people who saw him all had hesitant expressions.
Looking back now, those expressions probably meant something like, "Is this some new fashion trend?", "Am I out of touch with the trend again?", and "I don't understand, but I respect it."
null:……
Navelette looked at the helpless-looking Kong and asked, "Do you need me to help you peel it off?"
Empty: "Thank you, but no need."
He wanted to keep those baking soda marks a little longer.
