Chapter 40 - Ch 40 : Su Yuan’s Passion
Chiori stared intently at Furina, watching her actions...
She gritted her teeth, her expression conflicted, and the hands holding her blades trembled uncontrollably...
"Kill her! Kill her! Kill her! Avenge Lady Navia!!!"
Amid the tense silence, a discordant voice suddenly erupted from the crowd.
A loud slap rang out, as someone nearby struck the person who had shouted, angrily rebuking them:
"What nonsense are you yelling?! Can't you see that something isn't right here?"
Melus and Silver also stepped forward from the crowd, coming to Chiori's side.
Melus spoke up:
"Miss Chiori, we also believe... Lady Furina could never be the one who killed our Lady Navia."
"Furina, you..." Chiori's grip on her blades trembled even more violently.
Finally, she let out a long sigh and lowered her weapons.
"I'm a fashion designer... My hands... have never shaken like this before..."
................
"Because of my personality, I don't have many friends..."
Inside the room, Chiori spoke slowly.
"Navia was one of them. She was passionate, easygoing, and never minded my temper..."
"She always had so many creative ideas, which were incredibly helpful for my fashion designs..."
"Those who say my ideas are ahead of their time have probably never had a conversation with Navia."
"If Navia had studied fashion design and become a designer herself, she would have been my lifelong rival..."
"She once asked me to make her a 10-meter-tall hat, but I refused..."
"But now, even if it were 100 meters, 1,000 meters, I would give it my all to create it..."
"But Navia... where are you now..."
"Earlier... it was around 2 PM, I think. Navia and I were strolling through the plaza of Poisson Vilagge, chatting about designing school uniforms for the children there..."
"But suddenly, someone appeared before us—someone who looked exactly like Furina, though her clothing was slightly different..."
"To be honest, her outfit had a remarkable texture. I had never seen such a design before..."
"At that moment, I thought she was Furina and wanted to ask her about the material of her outfit..."
"But in the next instant, before I could even react, she struck me down to the ground..."
"Before I completely lost consciousness, I saw her attacking Navia..." As Chiori spoke, tears welled up in her eyes once again.
"Later, Silver and I found Lady Navia's body... and Miss Chiori, unconscious nearby..." Melus took over, speaking sorrowfully.
"We brought Miss Chiori back to her room to rest, then informed everyone about Lady Navia's assassination..."
Chiori cried for a while, then seemed to gradually regain her composure.

With sharp eyes, she looked at Furina and the others, speaking firmly: "I've said everything I wanted to say... Now, come on, I want to hear your explanation."
"Yes, we also want to know the truth behind all this," Melus and Silver added.
"I will explain," Neuvillette spoke slowly.
"As Navia's friends and family, you have the right to know the truth."
"First, the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale did indeed malfunction. And we've discovered that behind the machine, there is a mysterious individual who carries out executions on those sentenced to death..."
"But Navia never even went to the Opera Epiclese for trial, let alone received a death sentence!" Chiori interrupted.
"That's correct, and this brings us to the second rule," Neuvillette continued.
"If no one is sentenced to death that day, the mysterious individual will randomly select someone and execute them instead."
"Oh? So, in order to protect your own reputation, the Palais Mermonia completely disregarded the safety of Fontaine's citizens? You didn't even care who the unlucky victim was?" Chiori sneered coldly, her expression darkening.
"No, that's not it," Su Yuan spoke up.
"Every single one of us here was willing to become the bait—to lure out the mysterious individual behind all of this."
"Originally, I was supposed to be the one executed. But due to certain special circumstances, my death sentence was revoked. And then... that person chose a random target instead."
"In a way, Navia died because of me. I will take responsibility for her death."
"Take responsibility? Heh..." Chiori let out a cold laugh.
"What good does that do? Navia is already dead! She's gone!"
"Speaking of which, who even are you? I've never seen you in Fontaine before."
"His name is Su Yuan," Neuvillette said.
"He is our friend and someone worthy of trust."
"Alright then, Su Yuan, is it? I'll remember you. I'll resent you for the rest of my life," Chiori said slowly.
"Both Palais Mermonia and you, Su Yuan, bear undeniable responsibility for Navia's death."
"Chevreuse, I know that hitting people in public is wrong, but no matter what, I will not compromise on this," Chiori looked at Chevreuse and spoke with absolute certainty.
"From now on, every time I see Su Yuan, I'm going to punch him!"
Chevreuse: ...
"By the way, Su Yuan, didn't you see the mysterious person behind the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale?" Furina suddenly turned to Su Yuan and asked, "Then why didn't we hear you mention that she looked just like me?"
"Uh... well, that's because her appearance... was a disguise," Su Yuan explained.
If Sigewinne were here, she would have immediately seen through Su Yuan's lie.
Su Yuan felt that time was running out.
He couldn't afford to delay any longer—any further hesitation could lead to complications.
He needed to prepare to reset by dying.
So, finding an excuse, he said, "You guys keep talking. I need to use the restroom."
"I'll take you there, Mr. Su Yuan," Melus stood up and led Su Yuan out of the room.
After Su Yuan and Melus left, Neuvillette felt that something was off.
Making an excuse of his own, he also left to follow them.
Sitting on the toilet in the restroom, Su Yuan pulled out the small knife he always carried with him and placed it against his neck, taking a deep breath...
Even though he had rehearsed this many times, now that the moment had arrived, he still felt a bit nervous.
But if he wanted to save Navia and stop the Eerie Focalors, this was the only way!
With a determined grip, Su Yuan slashed his own carotid artery!
Blood splattered instantly as Su Yuan slowly closed his eyes, waiting for death to take him...
But after just a short moment, he noticed that the blood from his neck had stopped spurting, and the pain was gradually fading...
Su Yuan opened his eyes in confusion, realizing that he was still alive?
What was going on? Could he not even kill himself now?
"Could it be because of Neuvillette's ancient dragon blood... I remember he said it would enhance my body's recovery ability..."
Su Yuan pondered for a moment.
It seemed like he hadn't cut deep enough just now—he needed to go deeper to make sure he actually died.
So, he once again placed the small knife against his neck, this time preparing to cut deeper and more decisively, ensuring that he wouldn't survive...
But in the next instant, the bathroom door was suddenly flung open!
Neuvillette appeared right in front of him!
"Su Yuan! Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't do this again?" Neuvillette questioned loudly, grabbing Su Yuan's wrist and using his other hand to snatch the knife away!
Su Yuan stared in shock at Neuvillette, who had appeared so suddenly.
He had deliberately avoided him to commit suicide in secret, yet Neuvillette still came looking for him?
Although his attempt at suicide had been temporarily halted, Su Yuan couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart...
It seemed that his previous actions had truly made Neuvillette deeply worried about him.
"Even though I know you feel guilty about Navia, this isn't entirely your fault. Why must you atone with your life?"
"Is it because of Chiori's words? Did they hurt you that deeply? But that's just how she is—it's her personality. Don't take it to heart!"
Neuvillette pleaded earnestly.
"Neuvillette, actually... I have the ability to return to the past..."
At this point, since he was about to reset anyway, Su Yuan decided to reveal his secret to Neuvillette.
Otherwise, he would never let go, just like Wriothesley...
Huh?
Su Yuan felt a bit confused.
Why had he suddenly thought of Wriothesley?
"Neuvillette, you're wrong. I'm not trying to atone for my sins with death," Su Yuan said with a smile, looking at Neuvillette.
"I'm doing this to go back to the past, to fix my regrets, and to save Navia!"
Neuvillette stared at Su Yuan in shock, unable to utter a single word...
"Neuvillette, you promised to believe in me, right?"
Seeing the determination in Su Yuan's eyes, Neuvillette clenched his jaw tightly.
He didn't say anything—he simply let go of Su Yuan's hand and returned the small knife to him...
Then, unable to bear it, Neuvillette closed his eyes.
"Thank you, Neuvillette."
The next moment, Neuvillette felt Su Yuan's burning-hot blood splatter onto his face...
