Qianyi shook his head, giving up on persuasion. He then said to Furina beside him, "Fou, go up there and give her a few whacks."
"Ah?"
Furina froze, her mismatched eyes instantly widening as though she had heard an utterly unbelievable command.
Before she could react, a baseball bat silently extended before her.
Stelle expressionlessly pulled out a baseball bat gleaming blue and gold, thoughtfully handing it to Furina. She even gave her an encouraging gesture.
"Um..."
Furina took the heavy bat, still stuck in a state of Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?
Although she completely failed to understand the logic behind this—or why they had to attack Furina—if Qianyi told her to do it, then he definitely had his reasons!
Trusting Qianyi could never be wrong!
Besides, Qianyi had just said they needed to solve Fontaine's problems. Maybe this was part of saving Fontaine.
So...
Forgive me, Lord Hydro Archon the Second. This is all for Fontaine!!
Furina took a deep breath, gripped the baseball bat tightly, walked behind Furina, and assumed a stance to swing.
After enduring Qianyi's series of ordeals—being chased down in a jeep, blasted beneath waterfalls, trained by boomerangs, and other exercises that were supposedly "host training" but were really "extreme survival challenges"—combined with her absurdly high compatibility as a pure water spirit and the Ocean Light, Furina was no longer a frail mascot. She was a humanoid tyrannosaur with monstrous strength.
Not to mention, she was holding Ms. Herta's Curio baseball bat.
And so, the instant the bat came down—
Thud—!!!
A dull, solid impact rang out through the room.
Furina had swung with such excessive force that Furina did not even have time to feel the pain of the bat striking the back of her head.
