Clarinde, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly spoke up at this moment.
Since this person was usually a nobody, everyone quieted down when he suddenly spoke, wanting to hear what Clarinde had to say.
"Lord Liu Bai, what... happened between you and Lady Funina last night?"
Claude was somewhat curious about this.
"I apologize, this question may be a bit presumptuous, but Lady Funina has not left the house all day."
"Ah...now that you mention it, Funina really didn't come."
A murmur emanated from the idle clouds.
There are too many people in her family, and Funina doesn't have many close friends, so many people wouldn't even notice if Funina were absent.
"...?"
Liu Bai's expression was strange. "I didn't do anything."
"...What do you mean by 'didn't do anything'?"
"I did basically nothing; I spent most of my time chatting."
"Lady Furina... I'm sorry, I'm not doubting you."
It wasn't just polite talk; Clarinde genuinely didn't doubt Liu Bai.
After all, Liu Bai has always been a man of his word, not to mention that his Lady Funina had offered herself up to him.
"How about I go with you to take a look?"
"...Let's talk about it after dinner."

Chapter 452 Sisters will never be separated.
"Frinina! Are you there?"
"……Eh?"
Liu Bai's knocking woke up Funina, who was lost in her own world.
"Lord Liu, Lord Liu Bai? You...you've come all this way."
"I haven't seen you come out around dinner time, could you open the door?"
"This, this, this..."
Funina hurriedly moved her hand away from underneath, looking at her soaked sheets, completely at a loss.
How am I supposed to clean this room?!
……
"Coming, coming..."
A minute later, Funina cautiously opened the door.
Why do you look so guilty?
Liu Bai used his height advantage to look down on the timid Funina.
"To...to steal? There's no such thing as a thief!"
Feeling guilty, Funina looked away.
Navia and Claudia, who came with Liu Bai, couldn't help but facepalm.
This person is obviously lying.
They were so panicked that they lost all composure.
"Can we go in and take a look?"
"Of course, you can."
Furnessa left the door wide open, seemingly trying to create an image of complete nonchalance—however, her expression was the complete opposite of her actions.
The three of them entered Funina's room.
The first thing you see is four or five little water figures dancing in the room.
"...What is this?"
Liu Bai pointed at the little water man, looking completely bewildered.
"I...I created this water sprite using water elements."
"It really is a water sprite..."
Clarin also looked at the water sprite in front of her, "But... isn't it a little different from the usual water sprites?"
"No, what's different! Clorind, don't talk nonsense!"
Is it a problem with the water quality in the Dust Song Pot?
Clarinde wasn't fooled. "The water elementals seem a bit sticky today?"
"The water in the Dust Song Pot is all good water from the void."
Liu Bai shouldn't take the blame for this at all, but looking at the water creature in front of him, Liu Bai suddenly had an idea.
"Frinina, can I touch these little water sprites?"
"No, no, no... whatever makes you happy."
Funina really wanted to refuse.
But if I refuse, wouldn't that make me seem even more suspicious?
We're doomed... we're about to be discovered...
Navia and Clarin may not know what this liquid is.
But... Liu Bai must know!
"Speaking of which, Lady Funina, you don't eat, you just play with water figures in your room?"
"Um...yes, that's how it is~ It's that...rehearsal! It's for performing for Lord Liu Bai or something."
Furnessa replied stiffly to Clarinde's words.
(Please! Lord Liu Bai! Spare my life!)
"It wouldn't matter if you involved me and Clorind in this kind of thing."
Navia then added, "Yesterday's situation... was really unavoidable."
Navia is also very savvy in social interactions. She subconsciously assumed that it was because she and Clorind hadn't spent time with Funina yesterday that Funina wasn't including them today when she wanted to do something good.
In fact, she and Claurind are both very willing to help with legitimate good deeds like this.
—If what Funina said is true.
(...Sure enough, it's the so-called smell of the sea.) As Liu Bai approached the Water Elemental, he smelled its scent.
Moreover, all five water people in front of them had that smell.
Three aren't enough, you need five, right...? Okay, just kidding. These water sprites aren't summoned by those skills.
—Even if it really is a skill-summoned creature, Frynn should be able to break the game's limit of three.
(In other words, Funina wasn't actually rehearsing... but rather, she spent an entire afternoon alone in her room... no, maybe even a whole day?)
The water output is extremely large.
Thankfully, there was plenty of water in the Dust Song Pot, otherwise Liu Bai would have wanted to tie up Funina and use her as a faucet.
And I reckon the usage method is no different from a faucet; when you need water, you just...
"I was overthinking it. This is probably because the water is made a little thicker to help it set better."
Liu Bai is lying through his teeth.
[Furina's favorability rating: 56 → 62]
...That's easy.
"No, as expected of Lord Liu Bai! He saw through the mystery at a glance!"
With Liu Bai's endorsement, Funina immediately straightened her back.
"...You seem like the fox in the story of the fox borrowing the tiger's power."
Navia subconsciously made a sarcastic remark.
Clarin nudged Navia—Don't blurt out the truth!
"Ahem, in that case, Lady Funina, why don't you go and have some dinner?"
"Wait, let me tidy up the room and then I'll go out!"
Frynn pushed both Clorind and Navia out.
Liu Bai calmly pulled up a chair and sat down.
"Tell me, how long?"
"One...one afternoon."
"Really?"
Funina's tone was full of guilt.
"...Okay, it's been since I came back."
Funina looked like a quail.
"Are you a newbie who's just getting into this kind of thing?"
"……yes."
Funina thought for a moment, then nodded.
She's really new to this kind of thing!
She couldn't help but do a few more of these simple things that could bring her joy on her own.
"...It's amazing you can still stand."
Liu Bai was speechless at Funina's answer.
With that water flow, most other people would be sprawled on the ground like mud, but only Funinga water is free, so they can still stand up normally.
"It feels like you're racing down the path to becoming a sex addict."
"That's an exaggeration!"
"It feels like it won't be long before you feel that your hands can't satisfy you anymore."
"..."
Funina fell into an eerie silence.
Actually, I'm already finding it hard to be satisfied.
"Cough cough, how could that be! I have hands... hands are enough!"
Fu Ningna only froze for a moment before quickly putting on an indifferent expression.
Liu Bai rubbed his forehead.
"If you really can't do it, go and have Mebius give you a proper lesson."
Liu Bai could really see that Funina's knowledge in this area was really lacking. She had some common sense, but it was limited to basic common sense.
"Yes, I definitely will if I have the chance..."
Funina lowered her head guiltily, "By the way... Lord Liu Bai, what time do you... open the door tonight?"
"Don't make it sound like I'm actually selling myself!"
Liu Bai reached out and tapped Funina on the head.
"What, you want to try the real thing?"
