"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Do you have to hit so hard?"
The Traveler winced, rubbing his head which had just been struck, and quickly put some distance between himself and Lumine.
"Hmph~ Blame it on you being Fatui. Lately, because of Scaramouche and that… whoever, my attitude towards the Fatui has been less than friendly."
Lumine puffed out her little fist and looked at the Traveler with annoyance, or rather, a hint of tsundere.
"You, you really are..."
The Traveler shook his head helplessly. While he was very curious about the extent of this young girl's strength, it wasn't the time for a duel. Moreover, he had some questions he wanted to ask.
"By the way, where's your little follower? Last time, they beat me and ran off without even giving me a chance for a rematch."
These words immediately caused the Paimon within Lumine to subconsciously pout.
*Joke's on him. He already knows my weakness. If I don't defeat him in one blow with my strongest form next time, he'll probably torment me until I doubt my own existence.*
Fortunately, she couldn't manifest a physical form right now, so she wasn't afraid of him asking for a rematch. After all, even if she wanted to, she couldn't. Thus, Paimon generously allowed the Traveler to hear her voice.
*Thanks to your Scaramouche, I don't even have a physical body anymore. So, you battle-hungry guy, don't even think about revenge for a while.*
The sudden voice startled the Traveler. However, he was more shocked by the first sentence than Paimon's lack of a physical body.
"Oh?! Scaramouche could defeat you?! Impossible, I know that guy's strength. He's strong, but compared to your… whatever state you were in, isn't it like a toddler fighting an adult?"
Uh...
*Pfft...*
Lumine couldn't help but chuckle, using the Traveler's words to scold Paimon.
"Exactly! You could have just used your full power and wiped out those two scoundrels, but instead, you got ambushed by some kid. You almost scared me to death. Are you an idiot?"
*E.*
Of course, doing this wasn't entirely a good thing. If Lumine held back for longer, her tormenting of me later might become even more prolonged.
And Lumine might just ignore the Traveler and completely… *cough cough cough!* Impossible, impossible, I wouldn't think that far… would I?
Thinking this, Lumine shivered subconsciously, her heart growing increasingly anxious.
"Paimon, give me some comfort."
*Comfort?*
Paimon pondered for a moment and then said with a smile,
*Then I wish the host gets tormented for an hour less later~ (^_^) *
Erm...
"What kind of comfort is that, hey!"
*Hehe~*
"Honestly..."
Lumine pouted in dissatisfaction.
This Paimon really doesn't know how to comfort anyone.
At the very least, it should be a few hours less to be considered comfort...
