Location: Fontaine, Palais Mermonia.
Alex arrived here, closed his eyes, then opened them again.
Focalors was actually right in front of him.
Good, good, good! He had just tried it on a whim. He had teleportation, the kind that could forcibly bring people along. It would have been a shame not to try.
But, he didn't expect it!
He actually succeeded in bringing Focalors out!
Even Alex was very surprised!
At this moment, Focalors was still looking at Alex with a puzzled expression, not yet noticing the changes around her.
It wasn't until the crowd around them suddenly started to clamor.
Only then did she notice that she was no longer inside the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale.
And this was... Palais Mermonia?!!!
Focalors' eyes widened in shock as she looked left and right.
Her divine self had actively hidden inside the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale with the Gnosis, and had already 'merged into one' with it, to the point where even a god or the Heavenly Principles wouldn't be able to find her.
And now... Focalors' pupils trembled.
Among the surrounding crowd, a Damselette, with stars in her eyes, looked at Focalors and said, "Look! Furina's new dress is so beautiful!"
"Yes, yes!" The people beside her nodded repeatedly.
"So pretty, so pretty!!!"
"Furina is as beautiful as a celestial being!" Someone else shouted.
Afterward, everyone around them expressed regret. They were just passing by and didn't have their cameras with them, otherwise, how great it would be to take a few pictures to keep!
At this moment, Focalors finally reacted, recovering from the shock of being teleported and brought out into the Palais Mermonia.
She quickly took a big step forward and buried her face in Alex's chest. At the same time, she tightly tugged at his short-sleeved robe, as if trying to wrap herself up and hide!
The next moment, Focalors' muffled voice, in a hidden state, came from Alex's chest, somewhat muffled, saying, "Take me back quickly~~!"
"Don't rush, my skill has a cooldown," Alex said, lying through his teeth.
"Then how much longer will it be?!" Focalors lifted her head from Alex's chest, looking up into his eyes.
Alex blinked, looked at Focalors, and said, "Don't rush yet. I'll take you to Furina's house first."
"Okay," Focalors agreed. Going indoors was better than being watched by people outside right now, and she couldn't expose herself yet.
It was just as well that they thought she was Furina at this moment.
He said he was going to leave, but Focalors was still burying her head in his chest.
Alex felt like his new clothes were about to be torn.
"Stop pulling! My new clothes..." Alex cried out, and the force was quite strong.
Alex felt like Focalors was almost pulling him into her body, and the flat pressure was a little painful, making him feel uncomfortable.
"Then take me there quickly," Focalors said, without letting go, still burying her face in his chest.
Finally, she even slid down to under Alex's left arm, where there was more space, and the long robe just managed to hide her entire face.
Alex looked speechless and amused. Focalors, in this state, was completely like an ostrich!
Alex felt that Focalors wouldn't move, so he had no choice but to move himself!
"Excuse me," Alex said politely, the corners of his mouth curving uncontrollably.
But it was true, Focalors was currently barefoot on the ground. Perhaps it was fine in that space before.
But now she was outside, and the ground was full of dust and small pebbles that could hurt her feet.
Thinking this, Alex's right hand pushed aside the Damselette's skirt, then, using his clothes as padding, hooked her behind the knees, and directly gave her a princess carry!
"Oh!" Focalors only gasped, but her hands quickly and tightly wrapped around Alex's broad chest.
"So light~" Alex couldn't help but say after picking up Focalors.
Was his strength greater than before, or was Focalors very light?
The imagined difficulty of picking her up didn't happen. Instead, it was very easy.
So, one step, two steps, one step, two steps! Step by step like a turtle.
Alex walked slowly, hoping time would also pass a little slower!
"Oh!"
"Ah!"
"Heavens..."
The crowd, who had just managed to see Furina in her new outfit, were pleasantly surprised.
Unexpectedly, the next moment she burrowed into the body of that legendary man.
She was so impatient, as if she wanted to merge into him.
And that man actually princess-carried Furina, and judging by the direction, it seemed he was going to Furina's room... So all these signs clearly indicated one thing, this was too obvious!
And this speed was so fast! Were they going to go into the small room to do enjoyable things already? It had only been a few days!
Big news!
Alex carried Focalors into the Palais Mermonia.
Everyone they encountered along the way suddenly stopped moving, standing in place and silently watching them off.
What did the people in the Palais Mermonia just see?
That legendary man, Alex, was carrying a somewhat unfamiliar long-haired Damselette with white hair and blue highlights. Everyone assumed he was openly having an affair.
Fortunately, at this moment, because it had been very stuffy inside for a long time, Focalors finally pulled her head out to get some air.
At this, everyone saw Furina's unique heterochromatic eyes.
So it was Furina, then it's fine... "What? Big news? What happened!" At this moment, Charlotte, who was passing by investigating other news, heard everyone discussing something animatedly.
Subsequently, the reporter Charlotte learned what had happened from the chattering mouths of the crowd.
Charlotte was about to cry! Why didn't she walk a little faster just now?
If only she had been a little faster, she wouldn't have missed this explosive news!
It was all for naught, my friends!... Boo hoo hoo, today is an unlucky day.
"Hm hm hm~~~" At this moment, the real Furina, holding a large strawberry, hummed a happy song as she passed the distraught Charlotte.
"Huh? Furina?"
"Furina? Why? You changed back into this outfit in an instant."
The confused murmurs of the crowd spread.
Charlotte, however, saw Furina coming from another direction and understood somewhat.
As a reporter, with firsthand information, she knew about Alex's ability, even though she hadn't been teleported herself.
So, what exactly was going on with what everyone had just said? Her reporter's intuition told her that the secret here was not simple.
But now... boo hoo, she couldn't continue exploring.
That was the Palais Mermonia, and other news was waiting for her. This delay, she was almost late!
"Ahm~" Furina didn't pay attention to the crowd around her. She was in a very good mood right now.
Most of those strawberries had been sold, and a small portion was used to make strawberry cakes and desserts.
She also had a basket left for herself, now at home, ready to eat some more~
