Roman took a bite and found the little cake in his mouth exceptionally delicious.
Especially as he chewed, with Furina in his arms.
Looking at Furina's delicate, adorable, flushed face and her constantly darting gaze, he felt incomparably satisfied.
Roman then gave his assessment:
"Delicious."
Hinata, standing beside him, took out a handkerchief. Then she stood on tiptoe and wiped a bit of cake cream from the corner of Roman's mouth. Blinking her Byakugan, she asked curiously, "When you say delicious, do you mean the little cake, or our Fontaine Hydro Archon, Lady Furina?"
"Can't it be both?" Roman said, gesturing at the pile of delicious little cakes on the table. "The cakes are delicious, while Furina is a feast for the eyes.
"And when Furina feeds me little cakes, it becomes a super-enhanced two-in-one version of deliciousness, a dual pinnacle experience for both body and mind."
Roman's praising voice spread through the entire Chaos Hall, forming waves of echoes.
Hearing those words, Furina's expression became even more bashful, and her face reddened further.
The Hydro Archon then lowered her little head like an ostrich. Tugging at Roman's sleeve, she muttered softly, "Stop saying that. It's far too embarrassing."
"Haha."
Seeing Furina like this, Roman laughed even more happily.
Just then, Hinata put down the handkerchief and spoke. "Furina feeding you is a pinnacle experience. What if you add me to that?"
The instant her words fell, Hinata picked up a little cake from the table, took a bite, licked it once, and then held the cake bearing her bite mark out before Roman.
Looking at the glistening trace on the little cake, Roman felt not the slightest disgust. Instead, as though he had found a priceless treasure, he took a bite—and even took Hinata's fingers into his mouth...
Furina, who had been pretending to be an ostrich, happened to glance over at the commotion. She froze completely.
"Y-you... Your relationship has already reached that point?"
"%%&."
Roman mumbled indistinctly as he ate the little cake.
Hinata withdrew her wet, fair fingers, shook her head, and said meaningfully to Furina, "It's more than that. During those seven days in the Naruto World, Roman and I had even more intimate contact."
"Could it be that you two..."
At that moment, all sorts of indescribable colored scenes appeared in Furina's mind.
"No, not that."
Through Soul Resonance, Hinata sensed Furina's emotions and shook her head. "Just look at how old Roman and I are. There's no way we could do that sort of thing... Though once we really grow up, perhaps we really might..."
Hearing the first half, Furina inexplicably felt relieved. But after hearing the latter half, she froze, her lips parting slightly as she let out:
"Ah?"
"Still don't understand why I did that?"
Hinata sighed, then continued to Furina, "Relax your mind around Roman and me. Don't be so shy anymore... Then you'll understand everything."
Furina blinked her mismatched eyes, a puzzled look appearing on her face. Then she closed her eyes and spent a long while gathering herself. Only after taking several deep breaths did she barely calm down, open her mind, and synchronize her senses with Roman and Hinata.
As a result, she sensed intense feelings assaulting her from outside:
Roman's pleasure at being fed by her.
Roman's intense delight as he looked at her face and held her body.
Roman's satisfaction from having Hinata's fingers in his mouth...
The flood of emotions made Furina understand everything, but it also caused the shy, heterochromatic-eyed Hydro Archon girl's eyes to roll back. Overwhelmed by the emotional impact, she fainted on the spot.
This scene gave both Roman and Hinata a fright.
Roman immediately placed his hand over Furina's unremarkable chest. Only after confirming that her heart was still beating did he breathe a sigh of relief. "Good. She only passed out from the intense emotional shock."
Hinata was somewhat speechless as she watched.
Clearly, she had not expected the dignified Fontaine Hydro Archon, Lady Furina, to be so fragile that she could not even withstand an emotional shock...
Still, it was not impossible to understand!
Furina had already been reincarnated in Fontaine for seventeen years. The life she had lived in Teyvat was nearly as long as the time Roman had spent on Earth before reincarnation. Her soul was almost being assimilated by that body!
It was understandable that her personality resembled the original Furina's.
After all, in the original story, five hundred years later, Hydro Archon Furina had been scared so badly by the Knave that she did not dare sleep all night, secretly crying and wiping away tears in the Palais Mermonia.
As she thought about it, Hinata sensed something and frowned slightly. "Furina fainted, and her Soul Resonance with us seems to have stopped. If she stays unconscious like this, she probably won't be able to gain power. Then, when she returns to Teyvat, she won't be able to prove the existence of the Chaos Hall to Focalors."
Roman frowned slightly. "That is indeed troublesome. Should we shake her awake?"
"Shake her?" Hinata rolled her eyes. "Why shake her? Put her body directly on the Table of Destiny, then wake her up with some vigorous mouth-to-mouth resuscitation."
"That doesn't seem very appropriate."
"What's inappropriate about it? After all, in a sense, we're all the same..."
Before Hinata could finish, she saw Roman lay Furina flat on the Table of Destiny, already reaching for her.
He said it did not seem appropriate, but he moved faster than anyone!
Just as expected of me!
Thinking this, Hinata watched Roman lower his head, inch by inch drawing closer to the Table of Destiny, closer to Furina.
Huff, huff...
The sounds of breathing and exhaling drew nearer and nearer.
Yet at that critical moment, Furina woke up. Seeing the handsome face inches away, then catching the faint smile at the corner of Hinata's lips from the corner of her eye, she immediately understood what was happening. Her face turned scarlet, and she hurriedly stretched out both hands to push Roman away, stammering:
"I-I-I... I don't need mouth-to-mouth resuscitation."
Roman blinked. "If you don't need it, then you don't need it. It's good that you woke up."
Seeing Roman stop and speak soothingly, Furina could not help but sigh in relief, though she also felt an inexplicable sense of disappointment.
At that moment, Hinata, who had been sensing Furina's inner emotions all along, opened her Byakugan and sighed.
"What a pity.
"Roman, if you'd been a little more forceful just now, you would've won Furina over!
"To be honest, Furina is feeling a little disappointed right now!"
Hearing that, Furina's face reddened even more. She stammered stubbornly:
"I-I... I'm not disappointed.
"I am the Fontaine Hydro Archon, the queen of all waters, all lands, all people, and all laws... I would never faint from emotional shock, much less feel disappointed."
"Sure, sure, you're not tsundere..."
Hinata said that aloud, but inwardly she thought:
Fuu, if you aren't tsundere, then what are you?
Everything you're saying right now is dripping with tsundere energy!!
