Paimon is Fired Up!
3: Chapter 3: Group Analysis!
Paimon is Fired Up!
Jean: “Ahem, based on my observation, it’s highly likely that these two developed a certain bond after that battle, which then blossomed into a romantic relationship after further interaction.
So, I think they will definitely become lovers in the future!” Lisa: “Hehe, as expected of Master Jean who secretly reads romance novels all the time, your analysis makes perfect sense!” Jean (Panicked): “W-what do you mean?
Why would I read such books?
I…
I concluded this purely through tactical analysis!!!” Kaeya: “Hahaha, yeah, I totally believe you!” Eula: “I believe you too!” Amber: “+1!” Jean (╥﹏╥): “It’s true, I’m not lying to you guys at all!” Hu Tao: “Where did the involved party go?
Why hasn’t he come out and said anything?” Xingqiu: “Exactly, hurry up and share your thoughts here.” Aether: “…I’m not too sure myself.” Nilou: “Ah, the involved party has appeared!” [Detected that statements from the involved party would leak the answer.
Mute mode will be activated for him until this question is resolved!] Aether: “???” [Traveler Aether has been muted!] Nilou: “Ah, he got muted!” The thirty-second thinking time ended once again.
Everyone started scrambling to press the answer button!
However, their hand speed was no match for Amber’s.
This time, it was the Outrider of the Knights of Favonius who managed to seize the opportunity.
Amber, who was currently on a reconnaissance patrol on the outskirts of Mondstadt, almost jumped for joy when she saw her name selected.
She didn’t expect luck to be on her side this time, allowing her to answer right away.
Amber looked at the three remaining options and recalled Master Jean’s words.
Considering her superior had analyzed it so rationally, the answer definitely had to be a romantic relationship!
[Participant Amber, please provide your answer!] Amber smiled, feeling that victory was already within her grasp.
She immediately called out with confidence, “I choose D!
Traveler Aether and the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles will become a couple in the future!” Just as the girl was anticipating the results with high hopes, the Live Stream Room suddenly displayed a message that shattered her expectations.
[Incorrect Answer!] [Punishment: You must be carried princess-style by the first human who makes eye contact with you for ten minutes!] Amber was dumbfounded upon seeing the punishment.
A princess carry for ten minutes?!
Amber’s face instantly turned bright red.
This punishment was way too embarrassing!
In her entire life, other than being carried by her parents when she was little, she had never been carried by anyone else.
Amber suddenly realized that the punishment only specified a ‘human’, which meant there was no gender restriction.
Couldn’t it be another girl?
If she were carried by a girl she already knew, like Master Jean or Eula, for ten minutes, it wouldn’t be a problem at all.
Besides, the Stormterror threat was currently wreaking havoc in the Mondstadt wilderness, and there were many monsters roaming about, so ordinary citizens didn’t dare approach the areas outside the city at all.
That was proven by the fact that she hadn’t run into a single person the entire time she had been standing guard here.
So now, as long as she was careful not to make eye contact with just anyone before returning to Mondstadt, there wouldn’t be any issues, right?
Thinking of this, Amber’s mood improved slightly.
She suddenly felt that this punishment was no big deal.
However, when the other people in the live stream room saw the punishment, they couldn’t help but comment.
Lisa: “To think the punishment would be something like this.
Although it’s not physically harmful, it could really make someone die of embarrassment!” Sucrose: “Ah, I get it!
Since the punishment applies to the first person she makes eye contact with, Amber just needs to find someone she knows.
As long as it’s a girl, being carried for ten minutes won’t be awkward at all, right?” Ellin: “So there’s a loophole like that, how smart!” Jean: “Amber, hold your position.
I recall the situation outside the city hasn’t been safe lately, so the roads must be deserted; you should be fine.
I’ll head over to you right now!” Eula: “Amber, I’m heading over right now too!” Klee: “Big Sister Amber, Klee wants to come rescue you too!” Amber: “Wow, I’m so touched.
I originally planned to sneak back into Mondstadt to ask for your help, but I didn’t expect you all to take the initiative to come.
In that case, I’ll wait for you here!” Collei: “Big Sister Amber, even though I really want to go there and help you too, Sumeru is just too far from Mondstadt!” Amber: “Hehe, it’s alright, Collei.
It’s the thought that counts.” Hearing how eager her friends were to come in person and help her escape this bizarre punishment, Amber’s heart felt warm.
Since she was currently the only Outrider out on patrol, Amber just sat quietly on the hill, patiently awaiting the arrival of her fellow Knights of Favonius while keeping her eyes half-closed so she wouldn’t accidentally make eye contact with a passerby.
Unbeknownst to her, at the exact same time, two figures were also making their way toward that very hill.
Traveler Aether and Paimon were walking along the dirt path heading to the City of Mondstadt.
Aether was currently grumbling inwardly.
He felt that this Live Stream Room was utterly absurd.
The system was asking about things that hadn’t even happened in the future yet, not to mention this ridiculous romantic relationship.
Even though he knew the entire plot of Genshin Impact inside out, he had absolutely no clue about this sort of development.
Although the game’s storyline hadn’t reached the Celestia region yet, he knew for a fact that no matter how far the story progressed, the Traveler was never designed to have an official romantic relationship with any character on a one-sided basis.
So, the possibility of them being lovers was definitely out of the question.
From the remaining options, only ‘Family Members’ sounded rational.
However, Aether himself couldn’t recall when he ever picked up a ruthless goddess, the enforcer of heavenly laws, as a family member.
Unable to solve this bizarre mystery, he decided to set his doubts aside for the moment.
At the same time, the thought of the incredible rewards for answering the question correctly still made his blood boil with excitement.
Aether looked at Paimon with a serious expression.
“Because of the live stream room’s mute feature, I can’t tell you the answer through the chat.
But out of the two remaining choices, as long as you manage to guess the right one…
Paimon, tonight I’ll treat you to an extra three Sweet Madame drumsticks!” “T-Three Sweet Madame drumsticks?!” Paimon was so overjoyed that she spun around in the air.
┗|｀O|┛ Uwooogh~~ “Paimon is fired up!!” “Since there are only two answers left, it’s a fifty-fifty chance!
There’s no way Paimon will pick the wrong one!
Just leave the rest to me, Aether!”
