Although Navia joked around in the chat as she comforted everyone, their spirits did not improve much.
Especially Melus and Silver.
They had just been saying that dying like this was not so bad, but now they no longer thought so.
They should have died a little later. That way, they could have explored the ruins with their young lady, and she would not have just...
Although it was only a video, Melus and Silver were in immense anguish at that moment, because they knew that if nothing changed, all of this would happen.
How could they face their master then?
Inside the Palais Mermonia.
Furina watched Navia fall off the cliff, watched one Fontaine citizen after another die in the video, her hands clenched tightly into fists.
How could this be? Was the prophecy truly impossible to change?
Was everything I had done nothing but an illusion?
How could I face the people of Fontaine like this!
However, the scene of Navia dissolving did not appear.
The screen went black. When it lit up again, the entire image was covered in an unsettling green filter.
"...Miss, my lady!"
Then Melus and Silver, who had clearly just died, suddenly appeared before Navia. Yet she showed no reaction at all to their voices.
She was still completely dazed, not knowing why she was here.
[Xiangling: Why does this green filter look so creepy? It's so scary!]
[Hu Tao: Of course it looks creepy. Haven't Silver and Melus already, already...]
[Ganyu: If I remember correctly, Mr. Silver and Mr. Melus were on that list just now too, weren't they?]
[Neuvillette: With this eerie green color and the space twisting from time to time, perhaps this is some alternate dimension.]
[Zhongli: A final flash of life? They say people's lives flash before their eyes before they die. Perhaps this is some memory of Miss Navia's, or an obsession before death!]
[Melus: Our young lady is blessed with good fortune. She will definitely be fine!]
[Charlotte: Maybe the Hydro Archon intervened.]
[Lyney: Charlotte has a very good point. Maybe it was Lady Furina!]
Melus: "My lady, why are you standing here in a daze? Are you thinking of your father again? If we hadn't come because we had something to do, would you have just kept standing here?"
Silver: "Perhaps the young lady simply wanted some private time!"
Navia: "Uh, what's going on? My head feels so dizzy."
Melus: "You've been a little tired lately, Miss. You really need to get some proper rest!"
Silver: "Yes, you've had quite a lot to deal with lately, my lady. It's good to come out for a stroll on your own, but remember to go back, or we'll worry!"
Navia still wore a deep frown, looking utterly bewildered as she surveyed her surroundings. It all felt so familiar, yet somewhat strange. "What? What are you talking about? I feel like I can't remember anything!"
Looking at Navia, Melus grew a little worried. After thinking for a moment, he went on to ask whether she still remembered the matter with Giovanni. There had previously been a dispute involving him and some foreigners, but it had already been settled.
Silver: "Yes, surely you haven't forgotten, Miss? We came over today to check on things!"
Navia thought for a moment. "Ah, yes, yes. There was something like that!"
Just then, several more voices came from within the scene.
"Oh, isn't this Miss Navia? Mr. Melus and Mr. Silver are here too. Hello!"
Navia and the others looked toward the voices. Once they recognized the newcomers, they smiled and greeted them as well.
Navia: "Mr. Giovanni, Mrs. Benetti, hello. How did everything work out?"
Giovanni: "Thank you so much. Ever since you stepped in last time, they've finally stopped bothering me. I have nothing to do with them at all, but they kept coming to see me every day. Even my neighbors were getting fed up with them."
Melus: "Sometimes you have to stand firm. Being nice just won't work!"
Giovanni: "Exactly, Mr. Melus! Oh, one more thing. Benetti, didn't you say you wanted to give Miss Navia your seeds?"
Benetti: "I almost forgot. Miss Navia, I cultivated these myself. They aren't worth much, but I still hope you'll accept this token of my gratitude. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease!"
Navia: "Not at all, please don't say that. I only helped a little. I couldn't be happier to have these flower seeds. I'll replace all the ornamental plants at home with them later!"
Benetti: "As long as you like them!"
Navia looked at Benetti, then suddenly spoke in confusion. "Mrs. Benetti, you..."
Benetti: "What is it, Miss Navia?"
Navia shook her head again and spoke as though it did not matter. "Nothing. I just thought your name sounded a little familiar. Perhaps your husband mentioned it before!"
Navia suddenly realized something was wrong. She should not have known Benetti, yet she felt inexplicably familiar. On top of that, her head had been dizzy the whole time, leaving her lightheaded and unsteady, but she could not work out what was wrong just then!
She kept feeling as though she had heard it not long ago.
[Jean: How strange. The entire scene is eerie.]
[Klee: Klee's scared!]
[Xingqiu: If I remember correctly, weren't several of the people in the scene among the twelve people who died in Poisson just now?]
[Chongyun: !!!!]
[Keqing: I think so!]
[Navia: That's right. After hearing that list of the dead in the video just now, I wrote down every name.]
[Charlotte: The dead coming back to life. What a strange thing!]
[Hu Tao: Doesn't that mean Navia has arrived in hell, and that's why she met the people on the list? Is this what hell looks like? Is Grandpa in there too?]
[Silver: How could that be? Our young lady is so kind. At the very least, she'd be going to heaven.]
[Melus: What are you saying? Our young lady won't die at all!]
[Arataki Itto: You're even scaring the great me with all this talk.]
[Kuki Shinobu: Boss, what are you scared of? Aren't you an oni yourself?]
[Arataki Itto: Hahaha, I guess so. I just got too immersed, didn't I? Besides, I'm an oni, not a ghost.]
[Kujou Sara: What an idiot!]
[Yae Miko: There's nothing to be afraid of. You may be scared, but Miss Navia might be longing to see them!]
