"Oh my~ I didn't expect you to betray your organization for fun, I couldn't tell! ๑乛v乛๑" Paimon poked the Traveler's arm, saying with a wicked grin.
"Hahaha~ I just want to be friends with you all, I never said I'd betray my organization. Spreading rumors is illegal in Liyue, you know~"
"Eh?! Then then then... I'm sorry, I was wrong. Can you not sue me? (৹˃̵﹏˂̵৹)" Hearing the word "illegal," Paimon was instantly startled and quickly ran to the Traveler's side to massage his shoulders, saying in a fawning tone. kan shu wu.
"E-"
"Ah! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts... You actually bit me?!" The Traveler quickly pulled his arm back, rubbing the teeth marks on it and said.
"Hmph~ I always keep my word (￣へ￣)"
"Hoo... hoo... Okay, you're stronger than your host. She only dares to talk, but you bite when you need to."
"Hmph hmph~ Thank you for the compliment~"
"Hehehe... Don't get too happy too soon. Be careful, I might tell your host everything you just said."
"Hmph~ The same trick won't work on me."
Paimon was once again speechless at Paimon's reply...
"E-"
"Mhm... Since you say so, I'll hold off on that punishment for now (^_^)"
(I didn't expect to get a chance to boss him around just by chatting with him... Even a natural airhead isn't this dense...)
"Mhm, mhm, thank you, Mr. Traveler, for your understanding!"
(Wuwuwu... I'll never badmouth my host in front of others again (╥﹏╥))
"Uh... are you guys done yet..."
(Sigh... It seems I can't let her turn into this girlish form too often. Transforming seems to make her lose her mind...)
"Hahaha~ Alright, alright, the barbecue you ordered should be ready soon. It's a bit far, so you two can reserve a seat. I'll go get it for you (^_^)" The Traveler ruffled Paimon's head and then smiled as he left his seat.
"Ah! You darn guy, how dare you pat my head! When he comes back, I'll definitely... I'll... Ugh... Damn it, this guy has leverage over me, I don't dare to make any threats..." Paimon dejectedly slumped onto the table.
"You dummy, Ying wouldn't be angry with you just because of what you said earlier."
"She really wouldn't be angry, but she'll take the opportunity to let me know what cruelty is (╥﹏╥)."
"Uh, this... cough cough~ You'll at most get a tickle, don't worry~"
Just as Paimon was comforting Paimon, a familiar voice suddenly came from beside them...
"Yo... Isn't this the guy who beat me so badly I couldn't fight back before? If I remember correctly... your name is Paimon, right?"
"This voice... Scaramouche?!" Hearing the familiar voice, Paimon curiously looked back. Upon seeing the other person's appearance, she quickly stood up and distanced herself, staring at him seriously and saying.
"Waaah?! Help me!" Paimon wanted to escape, but Scaramouche grabbed her by the scruff of her neck.
"Let her go!"
"Hehehehe... Alright~ Then come find me near the prison in Liyue. No calling for backup, or else... I can't guarantee her safety~"
Scaramouche let out a few loud laughs and then ran towards the prison with Paimon.
"Damn it... You're dead!" Paimon stomped the ground angrily.
"Hmm? Why are you angry? Where's that little guy?" The Traveler walked over with a plate of barbecue, asking somewhat confusedly.
"Hoo... Is this a trap you set with Scaramouche?"
"Scaramouche? No, was he here just now?"
"Mhm... Do you have paper and pen? If so, please lend me some." Paimon stared into the Traveler's eyes for a long time and, realizing he truly didn't know, said.
"I do have them, but what do you need them for?" Saying this, the Traveler took out paper and pen from his person and handed them to Paimon.
"I need to notify my host. Thank you, I'm telling you this because I trust you, don't disappoint me~"
(Hmph... Only a fool wouldn't call for backup. Let's see how I take you down!)
