Furina: Why are you so skilled? How many times have you hugged Hinata?

Chapter 35: Furina: Why Are You So Good at This? How Many Times Have You Hugged Hinata?

Through the reestablished Soul Resonance, Furina sensed Hinata's thoughts and her face flushed even redder, but this time she didn't argue.

Because after carefully thinking back, she realized that what she'd just said was extremely tsundere...

"Alright, alright. Let's continue the Soul Resonance, Fou."

Roman soothed her, reaching out a hand to Furina, who was sitting on the Table of Destiny.

"Hah."

Furina took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, before leaping back into Roman's arms. This time, she opened the Soul Resonance and Emotional Resonance... sensing Roman's pleasant feelings, she was slightly stunned...

So... another version of myself is this happy holding me?

But why is Roman so good at this!

That's it—he must have hugged Hinata plenty of times in the Naruto World!

"That's right."

Sensing Furina's thoughts, Hinata nodded. "Roman did hug me many times in the Naruto World. He also played house with me.

"I was the mother, and he was the child... I gave him a lap pillow and fed him."

"Playing house, and you played the mother?!"

Furina's heterochromatic eyes went wide as she stared at the small girl, who looked like she wasn't even ten years old.

"I said it was playing house. What's wrong with me playing the mother?" A faint smile tugged at Hinata's lips. "Besides, you should ask Roman how it felt being the child."

"It was great. When Hinata fed me, it was completely different from how you do it now—all cautious, blushing, and nervous," Roman recalled. "When Hinata fed me, she'd pat my little head and say 'good boy'... Back then, Hinata radiated a gentle maternal glow from head to toe."

"Maternal glow? Pervert... Hinata is still so young."

Furina's face burned as she scolded him.

"That's discrimination. Who says being young means you can't have a maternal glow?" After saying that, Hinata added, "Also, Fou, you should already know that Roman is a pervert!

"If he weren't, he wouldn't have given you mouth-to-mouth resuscitation right after scaring you unconscious."

Hearing this, Roman didn't argue. After all, both Hinata and Furina were reincarnations of fragments of the original Roman's soul—they knew his perversions better than anyone.

So he didn't hide it at all, admitting openly:

"I'm a pervert. Fou, scold me more, and feed me a little more cake."

"You really are a huge pervert."

Furina rolled her eyes at him, her face red, but her hands obediently brought another delicious little cake to his mouth.

Roman: "So good! So tasty!"

Hearing this, Furina's face grew even redder as she snapped, "Pervert! Stop talking."

Watching this scene, Hinata blinked her Byakugan and commented, "You two look like you're flirting."

Furina lifted her long, elegant neck, still tsundere: "We're... we're not."

"No? Then you wouldn't mind if I flirted with him, right?"

With that, Hinata climbed onto Roman's lap, picked up a fork, and fed him.

Furina stared, stunned for a moment, then said, "I... I wouldn't mind at all."

But as the words left her mouth, a strange emotion stirred inside her.

And just then, Hinata spoke with a smile, "I... can feel it. You do mind a little... but that's fine. You still don't fully understand the relationship between the three of us. What you need to do now isn't dwell on it, but let go!

"Enter deep Soul Resonance to gain the greatest growth."

"Hah."

Furina knew Hinata was right. She took another deep breath, pushed down the turmoil in her heart, and began to relax her mind. In an instant, countless emotions flooded in.

Roman holding both girls—that wonderful feeling.

The wonderful feeling of being fed by both of them...

This time, Furina wasn't overwhelmed into unconsciousness, but she began to understand what Hinata meant about not yet grasping the true relationship between the three of them.

Three people, three reincarnations of the same soul fragments—together, they could sense each other's emotions... sense the beautiful experience of the three of them being together. It was too wonderful!

But just as Furina was starting to sink into it, she heard footsteps. The crisp sound jolted her awake... and she realized that she and Hinata had been feeding Roman... and somewhere along the way, they'd ended up lying on his chest...

What am I doing?

As the Fontaine Hydro Archon, the Queen of All Waters, All Peoples, All Laws—how can I be seduced by a man!

No, Furina!!

If I'm really going to be with Roman, I need at least the approval of my mirror self—Focalors!!

Thinking this, Furina sat up straight and began tidying her short, silver-blue hair.

At the misty entrance of the Chaos Hall.

A figure walked over slowly, took in the scene before them, and widened their eyes:

Fontaine Hydro Archon?!

Hyuga Main Family Hyuga?!

Two characters from past lives' anime and games had actually appeared before me—and more crucially, these two were lying in a man's arms, wearing expressions of infatuation...

Something was off. Very off.

Could that man be a transmigrator with some kind of hypnosis ability?!

If so, wasn't I in danger... After all, I'd also reincarnated as a character from the One Piece anime:

Nami!

Nami's eyes flashed with wariness as flames rose from her hand. She crept closer step by cautious step, finally making out the man's face. Her pupils shook violently, then contracted sharply:

That face, that look!

Wasn't that Roman, before I reincarnated?!

But I'd already reincarnated—why was he here?!

"Who are you?!"

Nami's flames swelled to over ten meters, light and heat filling the entire Chaos Hall in a poised stance. Then she barked at Roman:

"Who are you?!

"And let them go right now!

"Or I won't hold back."

Scolded sharply, Roman opened his eyes. Taking in the figure before him, he showed clear surprise: "A newcomer? Nami, the heroine of One Piece?"

"That's Nami, all right—but how can Nami produce flames?" Hinata Hyuga noticed the commotion, opened her Byakugan, and stared at Nami with a puzzled expression. "Did you find the Mera Mera no Mi in the East Blue, the one Ace was supposed to eat, and eat it yourself?"

"That's right."

Nami admitted it, then caught the blind spot in Hinata's words, her wariness deepening: "You look like Hinata Hyuga—how would someone from the Naruto World know about the Devil Fruit Mera no Mi, and know about Ace?"

Hinata's lips curled into a faint smile. "I know more than that. I know Pluton's blueprints are in Water 7, and Poseidon is in Fish-Man Island... and alive, too—the mermaid princess Shirahoshi of Fish-Man Island."

Nami's pupils constricted even more sharply, shock mounting in her heart: "How do you know all this?"
