The Palais Mermonia, Furina's reception room.
"Lady Furina, you must stand up for me!" Carter cried, tears streaming down his face, "That detestable Yide, he, he is far too arrogant and tyrannical! In front of the entire Academy, he subjected me to unprecedented humiliation!"
Furina sat upright on the plush sofa, listening to Carter's lament with a serious expression, but the slight twitching of her lips betrayed the fact that she was struggling to contain herself.
She tried her best to erase the image of Carter's disheveled state, sprawled on the ground, revealing his red lace underwear, from her mind.
"Vice Dean Carter, rest assured, I will certainly order Yide to apologize to you," Furina said solemnly.
Carter was clearly not satisfied with this outcome.
His eyes flashed with anger, "Lady Furina, an apology is not enough! Please revoke the authority of the West Factroy and have the Maison Gardiennage thoroughly investigate him! I—"
Before he could finish speaking, Furina's face turned cold, "Vice Dean Carter, I will consider your request, but for now, please return and await news."
Although Carter was unwilling, he knew that he could not press the matter any further at the moment, and had no choice but to turn and leave.
Watching Carter's departing figure, Furina sighed softly, a hint of worry rising in her heart.
Yide seems to be making more and more enemies.
She slowly rose from the sofa, her figure elegant and composed.
After stepping out of the reception room, she did not choose to return to her own chambers, but instead walked directly out of the Palais Mermonia, heading towards Yide's residence.
Although it was not her day to give lectures, it was perfectly reasonable for her to inspect the work of her subordinates as a superior.
After a half-hour walk, Furina arrived at Yide's villa.
As it happened, Yide was just about to leave.
"Yide, where are you going?" she asked.
Yide looked at her, thought for a moment, and said, "Come with me."
The moment Furina heard those words, she felt as if her heart had been struck by something, suddenly accelerating its beat.
Is this… a date invitation?
Her mind began to conjure up romantic date scenes from various romance novels.
"Okay."
She lowered her head slightly, a blush rising on her face.
The two strolled together through the streets of Fontaine, the sunlight filtering through the treetops, casting dappled shadows and adding a touch of warmth to the tranquil afternoon.
Furina had originally wanted to walk side by side with Yide, enjoying this rare moment of solitude, but she noticed that he was intentionally walking ahead of her, keeping a certain distance between them.
"Yide, why are you walking so fast? Can't you walk alongside me?" she finally couldn't help but complain.
Hearing this, Yide stopped and turned around, holding his forehead with his hand, a helpless expression on his face, "Lady Furina, I am currently a target for noble attacks. If we walk side by side, it's easy for you to get caught in the crossfire.
It's best if we keep a distance to ensure your safety."
Hearing this explanation, the anger in Furina's heart instantly dissipated, replaced by a warm current surging through her.
"Yide, I'm sorry."
Yide only felt confused, not understanding why she was apologizing to him, "Let's go."
Then, he continued to walk forward.
Furina followed closely behind him, the two walking one after the other through the streets of Fontaine.
Before long, their footsteps stopped in front of a clothing store with a unique Fontaine style.
The shop's windows displayed a variety of garments, each exuding an air of refinement and elegance.
"Yide, I already have enough clothes, I don't need to buy any more," Furina said softly.
Yide glanced at her, "You're overthinking it, I'm here to order West Factory uniforms. I asked you to come along to provide some input."
At that moment, Furina realized that she had been presumptuous!
Yide, this bastard deserves the death penalty +1!
Just then, a richly dressed young noble was thrown out of the store.
Yide ignored the matter and walked straight into the store.
Inside, a youthful Inazuma girl was busily tidying up the clothes and floor that had just been messed up.
Her face was beautiful and elegant, with a hint of exotic charm between her brows.
She wore her own modified Inazuma clothing, which retained the traditional charm while adding a touch of fashion.
A pair of slender, beautiful legs were wrapped in black lace stockings, mysterious and alluring.
Hearing the sound at the door, she looked up and turned her gaze to Yide and Furina, who had just entered the store.
When she saw their faces clearly, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, "Yide, Lady Furina, are you here to order clothes?"
Yide looked at the girl, his gaze lingering on the Geo Vision at her waist for a moment, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
"Shopkeeper Chiori, we originally wanted to order West Factory uniforms, but now, we don't," he said slowly.
Chiori frowned slightly, "What do you mean by that?"
"An Inazuman who can freely beat up nobles in Fontaine, Shopkeeper Chiori, you are truly admirable," Yide said with a smile.
Chiori said unceremoniously, "Yide, others may be afraid of you, but I'm not. Just say what you want to say!"
Yide looked directly into her eyes, "Close the shop or join the West Factory!"
