Technically, it counts as a kind of performance — but don't let that get to you, there's no pressure. Just say whatever words come into your mind!
Hahaha, it's been great talking to you all. I'm really glad I decided to come to Qiaoying Village.
Hey, don't you understand? You're currently the prime suspect for a major case! This isn't the place for you to be looking for fights.
I still don't wish to pretend to be someone else, but I do have a desire to express myself... So maybe the show will go on for me after all.
If nothing else, we can safely say that we accomplished what we set out to do.
My dear demoiselles... Uh, ladies... No, uh, I mean... friends! Please take me with you!
O—Oh, so there's still hope after all? Goodness, you frightened me — you spoke so much, and with so much certainty...
I've often seen Charlotte busily running back and forth lately. She still seems to be hoping to arrange an exclusive interview with me. No matter how many times I refuse, she still hasn't given up. To be honest, her persistence made me angry at first... but then she told me with a resolute look in her eyes that she wanted to let people understand the real Furina, and that she believed people would understand my troubles. I don't know how to respond to her kind intentions... I suppose she might be right, but I'm just not ready yet...
Hah. Do not jest. Can you not feel it?
And aren't human emotions — love, hate, regret, and hope — just the most mesmerizing things in this world?
...Well come on, don't just stand there! Take some initiative!
Off we go then... Let's take a look up there.
Thus did I give up all of my divine power to provide everyone with energy for their daily lives. Have you ever seen a more magnanimous god?
Fine, fine, I suppose haste is warranted. Lead the way!
Too ordinary! Hmph, such an uninspired dish will never have my approval!
Hahaha... I'm afraid that's just an inevitable consequence of my divine charm.
True, but I have made a decision to retire from the stage.
A chat, you say... A simple word, but a fascinating idea.
You may consider this my reward to all of you! I have determined that there will be an epic duel between myself and this traveler from another land, just as you were hoping to see!
Alright, then... Who will be my opponent in this trial?
But when there are valid grounds, I will not only judge travelers from abroad...
Hehe, well, when it comes to things I'm interested in, I don't mind putting in the time to become the most knowledgeable person in the topic.
My second question has to do with the ensuing duel. If the truth is indeed as you described...
Ah, yeah, yes, that's exactly right! Please keep it a secret for me.
*yawn* Coming, coming... Seriously, who's knocking before afternoon tea...
Let's go. It's time for them to learn Director Aurelie's final thoughts.
I will admit that I've been running away for a long time.
So she didn't regret her decision. Even as she sat in silence, waiting for death to come.
My dear citizens, my loyal audience, allow me to present my reasoning and bring this performance to a swift close.
(I never imagined that it would hurt so much...)
Everyone's really throwing themselves into their roles. I haven't seen such a fine performance in a long time.
Since that's your testimony, I have no more questions. It appears there really are good grounds to reopen this case...
So... as expected, he's missed the deadline.
My dear people, rich and poor, those with cup in hand and those with nothing at all, raise your glasses in celebration! If you don't have one, then just raise your hand in lieu.
Oh? What a rich aroma and delicate texture... I didn't expect you to be such an accomplished cook... with refined taste, as well!
No, Yoimiya! You have to stay here.
"Mirror-me"... Wh—What do you wish to say?
(No, Furina. You shouldn't be selfish...)
There is no trouble in this world that justice cannot solve. All that is needed is for you, my people, to believe in it, heart and soul.
What opportunity? What do you mean?
Let my name echo in song!
As the god Focalors — the God of Justice — I shall do all within my power to lead you into an age of fairness and justice.
Didn't I make myself clear at the time? The decisions of the gods are naturally difficult for humans to comprehend. There is no need to provide an explanation...
But you can't bring yourself to do that, can you? You care too much about Director Aurelie and the home she built you all to let go.
I'm still the same Furina you knew, right? The one that you loved? Shouldn't you want to believe in me?
Especially with a novel art form like a masked mime show. I'm sure Merieux had his reasons for the changes he made.
It's ironic to think that in my whole time as a "god," I could only ever dream of receiving this kind of power...
(I've conducted so many investigations across the centuries, but there's not even a sliver of hope that we might break the prophecy...)
Alright, now that we've gotten all the pleasantries out of the way, let's get this show on the road.
(I feel utterly exhausted. Best to rest early today, too.)
Haha... Good, very good. If this should happen again in the future, please do not hesitate to come and tell me. Going down to citizens' homes every so often, while not usual practice, should serve as a fine change of pace...
Uh... What do you mean, tear stains? Oh, I remember. The show at the opera house earlier this morning was so moving, I'm still trying to process it.
Oh stop, you're making me all flustered. Although... hehe, not in a bad way.
Despite all the pain and loneliness she had to endure... She never once stopped believing in the beauty in this world.
Boring... Isn't there anything else more interesting to do?
Even though you couldn't see it through to the final scene, the audience was very impressed by your performance. It's safe to say that you made your mark on this memorial show.
(Calm down, Furina... Think. Think. What do the people want? How would they imagine a god to speak and act?)
...That's all I have to say. We do not discuss this matter again.
An interesting answer. But if you ask me, I think all emotion shall ultimately return home to the heart, and slowly settle with the passage of time.
Really? Have they found anything?
Well then, ladies and gentlemen, allow me to use the words of the magician himself: "You never know what can happen in the blink of an eye." Indeed, it seems his alibi can also collapse in the blink of an eye.
Precisely. Now, if you two have no objections, then in the name of the Hydro Archon, I order your arrest.
I would like to book the Opera Epiclese for an event. You see...
Yes. Plus, she'll definitely want to hear how the end of the show went...
Oh yeah? Well, since you think it's so easy, you can sign them for me.
Oh, I'm just thinking aloud here, don't take it to heart. Besides, a script and a play are two very different beasts — there are so many fine details to consider when turning a story into a stage production. More than most people could imagine.
You had best stop and consider... do you really have the noble qualities and etiquette necessary to communicate with a god? All it takes is a flick of my finger for me to know everything about you.
Let's get back to the feast and enjoy each other's company. We'll be starting the post-production process tomorrow.
Ugh. Is this what you usually eat? *sigh* Seems I'll have to share some of my macaroni with you.
Hmph, then... I can guess Neuvillette and Clorinde's parts.
(...It felt good to be back on the stage again.)
Gardes, take Vacher away!
Come, let's pay a visit to the Palais Mermonia. The rest of you, head back to the rehearsal location for now, and wait for our good news.
I've got no idea what happened there, either. But hey, it worked pretty well, didn't it?
Ah... I was wondering if we might run into her...
Hmm? Hmph! A—Are you not afraid? Might I remind you that this is a duel against the divine!
(Phew... I don't think I let anything slip today. I must show the people that there is nothing to worry about...)
I can't let myself see only the things I want to see. How would that make me any different from before?
Come on, I don't need that kind of attention. Xavier can accept the reward on our behalf.
*panting* Phew... I'm so tired... I totally thought they had caught me...
I really don't want to experience that feeling of despair again.
Wait, this part on the last page sounds strangely familiar...
This upcoming scene is the Two Musketeers' final confrontation with the baron. There'll be quite a bit of action, but no choreography beyond what we've already rehearsed.
I've already prepared seats for you. Come, sit beside me.
When one is blessed with both beauty and depth as I am, one naturally has many musings on the vicissitudes of life. All the best moments in opera are grounded in real-life observation.
A day isn't that long. Let's see what kind of case this big-shot outlander can build in such a short amount of time. Hehehe, I'm really quite looking forward to hearing it.
Recently, I've been wondering if I've been a little too hard on myself in the past. In my efforts to maintain the reserved manner of a deity, I never got the chance to enjoy my life, which is why I've become obsessed with shopping lately. I've bought many new precious things... like dazzling rainbow-colored tea bags, fully-automated extendable cutlery, and a saddle specially made for riding Seahorses... But in the end, I realized that most of the stuff I bought was useless, so I sent them all to the troupe to be used as props in performances. Strange... before I bought those things, I was certain they would all be of good use to me...
(I want to tell someone, anyone, about this... But would that not destroy all I've done so far?)
Haha... Hahahaha! So you've been watching me all this time, have you? I didn't think you were that type!
Heh, well, I was the biggest star in all of Fontaine, after all. It takes more than just a pretty face to earn a reputation like that. I know how to get serious when the situation calls for it.
Ah, then perhaps we should thank the stars that we were able to wrap both of your parts so quickly today. Switching around the filming schedule would have been a real pain.
