"At the time, I thought little Furina was super cute, you know." Alex, in the defendant's seat, stomped his feet excitedly and slapped the platform in front of him, speaking with an air of justice and righteousness.
"He's actually a lolicon, hmph, I caught him. According to Fontaine's law, that's at least five years." The Damselette in the plaintiff's seat put her left hand on her hip, extended her right hand forward, and tilted her head back, her super-large white ahoge on top of her head wiggling.
"Huh?" Alex quickly retorted, "I'm not a lolicon! Don't falsely accuse me. I just happen to like little lolis, that's all."
Everyone below was silent, a truly rare sight. Someone actually dared to admit it; he was truly shameless and perverted.
"Good heavens, there's even someone like you. Then he can just be sentenced to death, right? Death penalty, death penalty! Chief justice Neuvillette, please just announce the verdict quickly!"
The onlookers stirred again, everyone thinking the Damselette's decision was unreasonable, and more people started to 'eat melon'.
"Click, click." A certain Damselette in the corner of the audience seats continuously recorded the scene.
"Silence, silence!" After Neuvillette routinely brought the situation under control, his gaze fell upon the Damselette, who was somewhat impatiently proposing an absurd judgment.
Neuvillette, with an unmoving expression, dismissed the Damselette's accusation: "Plaintiff Furina's accusation is not valid. Defendant, please continue."
"Alright, alright~ I get it." Furina crossed her arms, then pouted as if she was angry, staring at Alex with her heterochromatic eyes.
But inside, she kept lightly hitting her chest, thinking: How boring, how boring. She was so close to actually giving that guy the death penalty.
Although the death penalty in Fontaine hadn't been genuinely carried out for a very, very long time, even if it were truly sentenced, Furina still felt somewhat dissatisfied, very unhappy!
"And then, it's just as you all investigated. I am an allogene, having traveled through countless worlds." Alex spread his hands, speaking helplessly.
He was really screwed. Where was the promised power? Why hadn't it been given yet?
"It was like this, and that, and so on and so forth…" Alex began to tell everyone the story of his transmigration. He even got carried away, starting to make things up, talking about things they wouldn't understand, like heroes and emperors.
After all, he was an old bookworm; these minor settings were easy. The main thing was to round out the lie of traveling through countless worlds.
In short, Alex's idea was to make his identity appear grand and mysterious in front of everyone.
After finishing, Alex couldn't help but take a few deep breaths. It was too tiring; he should have known not to make it so complicated.
Alex also crossed his arms, looking slightly up and down at the crowded audience, many of whom had no place to sit and could only stand closely together to watch the trial.
Tremble, for I am a super powerful person.
Alex kept nodding to himself, cheering himself on. When had he ever encountered such a scene? Without some bluster, he probably would have gone weak in the knees and been unable to speak.
But the reality was that no one present dared to believe his words, even though most of what Alex said was true.
"Huh?" Furina stared at the young man opposite, who claimed to be an allogene. His origin story was too preposterous!
Neuvillette was silent for a moment and couldn't help but express doubt, but that wasn't the main issue right now: "Alright, I understand. Your self-introduction can stop here for now. So, let's talk about why you were under the Statue of The Seven, holding a megaphone and saying…"
Neuvillette paused, then expressionlessly recited the line: "Furina is my wife, I am Furina's dog!"
Although he was saying these words, Neuvillette's delivery was full of dramatic reading.
"Exactly, exactly, that's it! Even if you say you're an allogene, you, you can't say that!" Furina couldn't help but stomp her feet in embarrassment and anger, her divine majesty almost disappearing at that moment.
It was too shameful! Furina had never encountered a public confession before.
If this person had said a few words privately, the great Hydro Archon Furina might have forgiven him.
But he actually dared to let his voice echo throughout Fontaine, and she believed that soon the whole world would know that someone was confessing to a god.
Furina's face couldn't help but flush slightly, truly both shy and annoyed.
Regarding this matter, Alex felt it had to be traced back to before… Time returned to over an hour ago, on Blue Star.
"I have freedom!!" At that time, Alex had shouted this phrase in an empty plaza.
That's right, Alex had also been eliminated by the tide of the times, meaning he had been replaced by newcomers. The ruthless boss didn't want to keep many well-paid older employees and started to hire new people cheaply.
New hires were good; low wages, hard work, no complaints, unlike old employees who were masters of slacking off.
"Sigh, life is so hard." Alex, struggling in life, had to go out today to buy some provisions, but he never expected to experience something that would change his life.
Not change his life, I died directly in the Blue Star world! The shopping mall actually exploded!
This is what happened: Alex was shopping when he saw a beautiful mother wearing an Alice the Great Witch cosplay outfit, holding a very cute little loli by the hand.
That cute little loli wasn't wearing a Klee the Little Witch outfit, but a miniature version of the Hydro Archon Furina's clothes.
Then, before he could take another look… Bang, crash! An explosion rang in Alex's ears.
At that moment, his phone was startled out of his hand by the loud explosion! Then Alex personally saw the little loli's mother nearby, injured by flying glass shards after the explosion, and she immediately fell into a "baby-like sleep."
Later, he didn't know how, but he also ended up lying down.
I hate it! I didn't get to see the Hydro Archon come out, I haven't played the Hydro Archon yet!! Damn it.
Lying on the ground, already beyond saving, Alex had many thoughts, the most prominent of which was regret over not being able to play allogene.
That's right, what about allogene? I'll just play allogene! A loyal fan of Mihoyo, spent tens of thousands!
...The world was very quiet... Was it because his ears were deafened by the explosion...? Not far away, that beautiful mother with a good figure was still lying there, a large area of the ground beneath her already stained red.
What a pity. If I had known I would die today, I might as well have… Haha, never mind, I really wouldn't dare, afraid of getting sick.
So in the end, there was suddenly another regret in this world, and he was still a virgin… Oh right, where was little Furina next to her mother? Alex's almost closed eyes opened wide again unwillingly, wanting to move his head to search around, but his vision was fixed by death.
His brain kept sending commands, but Alex still couldn't move his whole body, and having a little consciousness left was already good.
He didn't see the little loli's figure within his field of vision, and he didn't find her until his vision slowly disappeared... That's right! Damn it, it was a secondary explosion!!! Alex suddenly sat up, remembering everything, remembering it all.
At that time, Alex ran to the mother's side to check on her, and was about to call the hospital, but he didn't expect there to be an aftershock.
At that moment, Alex subconsciously protected the little loli, who had been pushed away by her mother and was standing stunned, pulling her under him to shield her!
So it turns out the little girl was under me, blocked from view, which is why I didn't see her in the end. I hope she survived.
While it would be best if she survived, her mother… "Ugh…" Alex clutched his chest, starting to worry about her condition. She didn't die too, did she?
???
After feeling unwell for a while, Alex seemed to notice something was wrong.
Wh-why am I sitting up directly? At the very least, I should wake up in a hospital, right??
"Hmm?" Alex even propped himself up with both hands, and his whole body stood up.
A miracle???
Alex was completely stunned.
After getting up, Alex shook his head left and right. Were these green brick houses around him? No tall buildings?
So he was in a corner of some street? There was even a trash can next to him, which looked very much like one from a certain game!
Resisting the urge to rummage through it, Alex grew even more confused: "Am I? Did I black out? No, I don't even drink!"
Looking at the clearly unfamiliar surroundings, he then looked at his own hands. Hmm, his hands were fair and slender, very beautiful.
Shock!!!
"Ah?" These are not my hands at all!
I know, I'm dreaming, a dream within a dream.
"You scared me, it turns out I didn't go shopping and didn't encounter an explosion." Alex put his right hand on his chest and let out a breath, scared him to death, thankfully, thankfully.
But honestly, that lady cosplaying Alice in the dream was really top-notch, and little Furina was super awesome too.
"What a pity it's a dream." Alex angrily swung his left hand down, but unexpectedly hit the wall.
Somehow, Alex chuckled, his body even trembling slightly, which was due to excitement.
Alex looked at his hands, those fair, tender hands that definitely didn't belong to him... Question: I have pain, plus suddenly unfamiliar and changed hands, what does that equal?
Is it finally my turn! I, Thoma Leira!
Alex excitedly jogged forward, but this rush was too fast, and so… Plop, in the middle of this afternoon, Alex ended up taking a cold shower. Luckily, Alex loved swimming, and after struggling for a moment, he swam to a safe platform.
"How unlucky! What is this? How can it still have??" Alex, thoroughly calmed by the cold water, looked around, his confusion growing.
He saw a long waterway extending forward, and looking down… Wow! It was at least ten meters above the ground!!!
No wonder there was no railing here; it turned out there was a waterway below, forcing him to take a cold shower.
"Why does it feel a bit familiar, but it's definitely not the terrain I'm familiar with." Alex composed himself and began to walk cautiously along the edge of this high aqueduct.
Inadvertently, Alex's gaze drifted to the now calm water surface beside him. In the clear water, his current appearance was reflected, making Alex stand rooted to the spot.
At a glance, the most striking feature was his anime-style eyes.
To be precise, his eyes were a deep, dark blue, and upon closer inspection, his pupils were still normal circles, just a dark blue. The outer circle was a gradient of blue tones, with what looked like tiny white specks, like stars within, making it seem for a moment as if he was looking at a simplified miniature universe.
A high nose bridge, thin lips, and an overall complexion that exuded vitality.
His appearance was largely the same as his previous life, just beautified with a filter and anime-fied; it seemed he had transmigrated and been beautified by the world.
Overall, he became super handsome, but he still felt it could be optimized further, perhaps by exercising to make himself look more mature? He looked so young now… Alex nodded, and only his hair, which was casually black and short, lying on his head, affected his overall attractiveness. Perhaps he should try to get a haircut first?
"Overall, it's very clear." Alex withdrew his gaze and stood in place, deep in thought: "I really transmigrated, it's not some parallel world. It's, anime!!!"
He hadn't confirmed what exactly it was, but in any case, first… "Yay!" Alex jumped up with both legs, then lunged forward. He actually jumped into the water again; his body was already wet anyway. He started swimming forward, following the waterway, because he saw a platform ahead where he could get out.
