Chapter 291 Can You Fly?
Chapter 291 Can You Fly?
Seeing the girl with her head down, stumbling and running towards him, Shiraki felt a strange sense of warmth towards her.
He flashed and grabbed the girl by the back of her collar.
"What the hell is this?"
Looking at Funina, who was constantly whimpering "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts" in his hands, Shiraki suddenly felt that the girl looked somewhat familiar.
"Sigh~"
"I am nothing, I am your Water God."
“My reckless people, quickly let go and put down your water god.”
Although her buttocks were very sore, even in the pain, Funina did not want to lose her dignity as the water goddess in front of outsiders.
Therefore, she endured the pain and gave orders to Shiraki in a haughty tone.
"Oh, sorry."
Bai Mu agreed, then let go and put down the Water God he was still holding.
"Oh!"
Funina fell from Shiraki's grasp, instantly suffering a second injury to her buttocks.
"Woo!"
The pain in her buttocks was making it hard for Funina to hold back any longer.
She squatted on the ground, her lips tightly pressed together, occasionally letting out a few sobs.
"Are you really the water god of Fontaine? I'm from out of town, so don't try to fool me."
Bai Mu bent down and lifted Fu Ningna off the ground. So far, Bai Mu had not seen Fu Ningna's face. Although her appearance was similar to the water god in his memory, Bai Mu was still not sure.
He only knew what the water god looked like, but he knew nothing about the water god's personality. Therefore, even though the girl said that she was the water god, Bai Mu still couldn't be sure.
Shiraki reached out to help Funin rub her bottom, but realized that he wasn't familiar with this girl who claimed to be the Water God, and that she was a girl, so Shiraki's hand froze in mid-air.
"Can you stand up by yourself?"
Shiraki shook the Funina in his hand and asked.
"Woo~"
"My butt hurts so much, I can't stand up."
Holding her in Shiraki's hands, Funina lowered her head, her limbs dangling, and replied in a tearful voice, utterly despondent.
Perhaps it was because they didn't want to see a deity embarrassed, or perhaps it was for some other reason.
After saying goodbye to Shiraki, Linni and her brother quietly left.
"Sigh, if you don't mind, let me help you."
Shiraki sighed softly.
"Thank you, sob sob."
Although it was the first time Funina and Shiraki had met, the strange sense of familiarity emanating from Shiraki made her not refuse.
After obtaining Funina's consent, Shiraki placed his hands under Funina's armpits, then straightened his arms and lifted Funina up like a child, placing her in front of him.
At this moment, Shiraki also got a clear look at Funina's face.
"You really are a water god!"
Shiraki looked at Funina in surprise.
"Aren't you talking nonsense?"
"In Fontaine, is there anyone impersonating me, the Water Goddess Funina?"
Funina haughtily turned her head to the side, only glancing at Shiramu out of the corner of her eye.
Seeing this, Shiramu's lips curled into a smile.
He turned Funina's body slightly, and Funina's gaze, which had been glancing sideways at Shiraki, instantly became direct.
"Put me...put me on that chair over there."
Not wanting to be controlled by Shiramu any longer, Funina looked around and then found a bench not far away.
Following Funina's instructions, Shiraki lifted Funina with both hands and placed her on the bench over there.
Because of her bruised bottom, Funina was lying face down on the bench.
Bai Mu and the Great Tree King squatted to the side, staring at each other with wide eyes.
"Oh right, I forgot to ask."
"Aren't you the water god? How did you get hurt like this?"
Shiraki looked at Funina, his large eyes filled with even greater questions.
"I…"
"I fell from the sky."
"If an ordinary person like you fell from the sky, you'd probably be shattered into pieces, right?"
"But as the water god, even if I fall from the sky, it will only hurt a little."
Funina didn't want outsiders to know about the embarrassing incident of "being tempted by the cake and falling down the stairs," so she racked her brains and came up with what she thought was a very reasonable excuse.
But to her surprise, after hearing this reason, Bai Mu's doubts not only did not decrease, but increased.
"It fell from the sky?"
"Can you fly?"
"Show me how you fly one?"
The barrage of questions made Funina's face turn bright red. It was then that Funina realized that one lie requires more lies to cover it up.
"Alright, stop bullying her."
The Great Compassion Tree King couldn't stand it any longer.
She pulled Bai Mu aside, then looked at Fu Ningna and asked gently:
"Can you tell me how you got hurt like this?"
Funina sensed an unprecedented warmth from the tone of the Great Tree King's voice.
For some reason, she didn't feel the same sense of status difference that ordinary people had given her from the Great Tree King.
Fu Ningna's psychological pressure lessened somewhat.
She pointed at the white wood with a slightly aggrieved expression and explained to the Great Compassion Tree King:
“I was standing on the balcony watching Linni’s performance, and I noticed him when the performance ended.”
“I saw him pulling cakes out of his bag continuously, so I wanted to come and take a look.”
"But I forgot I was still standing on the balcony, and then..."
At this point, whether out of embarrassment or grievance, tears were already welling up in Funina's eyes.
"Here, this is for you."
After listening to Funina's story, the Great Tree King did not laugh at her.
She gently stroked Funina's head, comforting her as she handed her canvas bag.
Shiraki was somewhat surprised by the behavior of the Great Tree King.
Although this bag isn't a luxury item, it's still one of the few bags the Great Tree King owns that he particularly likes.
To Bai Mu's surprise, the Great Tree King gave the bag away to someone else, someone they had only just met.
"Are you really going to give this to me?"
Fu Ningna felt flattered and overwhelmed.
Although she initially came for the bag from the Great Tree King, she never expected that the Great Tree King would give it to her directly.
"Of course it's true."
The Great Tree King smiled and ruffled Funina's hair.
Before handing the bag to Funina, the Great Tree King also made some modifications to the bag's internal structure.
Now this bag has become Funina's "dream bag," the kind that can continuously pull out cakes.

Some viewers previously expressed a desire to see Funina and Shiraki bicker.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that Funina is actually quite pitiful. If I only write about their bickering, it definitely won't work.
Therefore, my idea is to leave the bickering and having fun to Shiraki, since they are the same kind of people, and leave the care for Funina to the Great Tree King, since she knows some of Funina's inside stories.
