In the video.
Furina stood with her hands on her hips, her expression solemn, and declared loudly, "All right, you don't think you've won, do you? Even if there really is a curse on me, that has nothing to do with whether I'm human!"
"I think you should know that the greatest difference between humans and gods is [authority]. Gods are gods because they can do things ordinary people cannot."
"Since I took office, there have been many miracles of mine throughout Fontaine..."
As she spoke, Furina pointed at the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale behind Neuvillette. "Like this, for instance!"
Then she looked toward the people of Fontaine seated in the audience. "And the Indemnitium all your lives depend on!"
Hearing this, the Traveler reacted quickly, catching the crucial flaw in Furina's words.
Lumine thought to herself, Wait... hasn't something already proven that Furina isn't the master of the Oratrice at all...?
Paimon: "But you couldn't give a reasonable explanation for why Childe was found guilty without any warning last time, could you? If you're the master of the Oratrice, how could you not know...?"
Furina: "I've already explained this, haven't I? Mortals have no need to understand the actions of gods, and I have no reason to explain them to you..."
Neuvillette interrupted at the right moment. "Lady Furina, I believe I must inform you..."
"Here, the trial takes precedence over everything... even if you are a god, you must abide by the rules here..."
"If you do not follow the rules of the trial, evading the opposing side's questions or being evasive in your answers, I believe the situation will become very unfavorable for you."
Furina: "You're actually... using that argument...?"
Neuvillette: "This is not an argument, Lady Furina. These are rules everyone must abide by in court!"
Neuvillette spoke up at the right moment, countering all of Furina's rhetoric. Fontaine was a nation that placed its people above all else; even the Hydro Archon could not overstep its rules.
For once, Neuvillette had gained the upper hand in an exchange with Furina.
[Ningguang: Indeed. In Liyue, even a god must abide by the contracts they establish. By the same principle, in Fontaine, a god must abide by the justice she establishes.]
[Yanfei: As expected of the Nation of Justice. I just hope Ningguang can make fewer changes when revising the legal code in the future. Otherwise, it's far too hard to memorize!]
[Ningguang: If you found fewer loopholes, I wouldn't have to revise it!]
[Navia: Now Lady Hydro Archon has no way to evade this. Downplaying the important points won't work in court!]
[Lyney: Monsieur Neuvillette really is impressive when he's presiding over a trial. It's rare to see her win an exchange with Lady Furina!]
[Neuvillette: ...]
[Yae Miko: Fontaine's laws really are strict. If a certain someone were there instead, perhaps she'd just... haha, just kidding!]
[Kujou Sara: Am I allowed to hear this?]
[Kamisato Ayaka: As expected of Lady Guuji!]
[Raiden Ei: Miko, are you itching for a beating?]
[Yae Miko: Oh, I already said I was joking!]
[Yoimiya: It feels like all of us Inazumans have become part of their play!]
[Tartaglia: So can anyone tell me what crime I committed now? Aren't they putting Furina on trial? How did the conversation end up turning to me?]
[Charlotte: Oh, don't worry. It definitely won't be the death penalty. No one in Fontaine has ever been sentenced to death. At most, you'll just be locked up for a few years...]
[Wriothesley: It's fine, Childe. The food at our Fortress of Meropide is excellent. Just make yourself at home!]
[Sigewinne: That's right. Didn't Paimon in the earlier video prove that too? Once she went there, she didn't even want to leave!]
[Paimon: Don't suddenly drag me into this!]
[Tartaglia: So what crime could I, a mere nineteen-year-old, possibly have committed?!]
On-screen.
Furina was momentarily at a loss for words. Paimon continued, "Those really are miracles, but they aren't your miracles, are they? You don't even know why Childe was guilty, let alone the Oratrice's structure or how it works..."
Furina: "W-what are you saying? Those are my miracles..."
"I don't know why Childe was found guilty, but ever since the Oratrice was created, everything it has done afterward has actually had nothing to do with me. It's independent."
"You can't... you can't say a god is fake just because there's a problem with this machine..."
Paimon whispered to Lumine, "She's still twisting the argument... she's convinced we can't produce proof that she didn't create the Oratrice..."
Lumine: "All right, since neither you nor I can produce proof of whether the Oratrice is yours... let's try another approach. Can you use your divine power right now?"
Furina froze, then forced a faint smile. "Use my power? I can't do that. With so many people in the opera house, it would be far too risky..."
Neuvillette: "Lady Furina, you may rest assured. If required, I will put up protection around the audience..."
Furina: "That... isn't necessary, is it...?"
Lumine: "Just show a little of your ability to control Hydro. Even humans with Visions can do that."
With things having reached this point, refusing to demonstrate really did seem indefensible. Furina's face was now utterly panicked. "W-w-well!"
Paimon twisted the knife. "You say you're the Hydro Archon. Don't tell me you can't even control Hydro..."
Furina's eyes darted about as she constantly searched her mind for an excuse.
Furina: "...It's the Indemnitium. Yes, the Indemnitium. As everyone knows, a god's power comes from faith-faith. The people of Fontaine have such faith in justice that my power is naturally considerable. It's just that I've converted all of it into Indemnitium."
Still forcing a smile, Furina continued, "This is all for the people of Fontaine. To let them live normal lives, I gave up all my power. Look, what a great and selfless god I am!"
But this time, even more people refused to buy it. More and more began to doubt her, whispering among themselves...
