SPLASH!!
HONK!!
HONK!!
BLARE!!
A ship could be seen sailing through the river towards its destination.
The captain was holding the ship wheel on the deck while yelling at its crew members to do their work instead of talking.
On the other hand, the crew people didn't seem to be angry or annoyed by it. They were long used their Captain ethics.
In any case, they were doing their work diligently while having happy conversation with each other.
The smell of the sea, cool wind, flying seagulls, fish jumping out of water and so on really made them feel refreshed and energetic.
Though the crew members were happy, the same can't be said for the guests who were resting in their cabins down.
This ship sailed from Liyue Harbor to deliver goods to Mondstadt. However, after the few days of travel and when they completed half the distance, the captain found out that they left some important stuffs behind. As a result, they had no choice but to turn the ship back.
Most of these guests were dissatisfied and went to argue with captain. But a single line of Captain made them all shut their mouth. He said "If you people are in such a hurry then I will give you one of the life boats. You can use it to reach Mondstadt."
One should know that 95% of the guests were just normal people without any vision. So, if they left and encounter monster, they wouldn't be able to protect themselves. As a result, they could only swallow their complaints and return back to their quarters.
Still, Captain promised them that they didn't need to pay anything else for the 'return' trip to Mondstadt as a 'compensation'.
Even if everyone knew that the captain was just bullshitting, they could only begrudgingly accept it.
Anyway, while this was going on, in one of the cabins Primis could be seen lying leisurely on the bed with his head resting on the soft thighs of Makoto who was caressing and massaging his head gently.
There was a loving smile on her face as she was looking at his face.
Why? Well, you see, "The Seven" not only rule their nation because it was their responsibility but also because they love their people. The same was the case of Makoto.
Back in Mondstadt, looking at the people who were saying rude words and throwing things at Primis, she was not only angry but also panicking that Primis would get offended by this and will kill all of them in rage.
And since she knew the real identity of Primis, she was certain that he was fully capable of accomplishing that. The time when Primis stopped Ei's strongest move "Musou no Hitotachi" using a single finger was still fresh in her mind. That time Makoto also gave her power to Ei increasing strength further but it was still nothing in his eyes.
For someone like him, destroying Mondstadt wasn't any issue. So, at that time, Makoto only planned to punishing some of those people so that others will ran away in panic. However, the next thing was completely unexpected. Primis didn't even bother give people more than a glance before deciding to leave.
She couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief at that. At least for the time being City of Freedom won't become City of Corpses.
From then on Makoto was even more earnestly fulfilling her duty as his Battle Maid.
In any case, even if Primis seemed to be sleeping, his mind was occupied with others.
'Primis: There is no hurry to reach Liyue Harbor. I can take my time. On top of that, since Lumine is still in deep slumber back in Mondstadt, digesting her memories, she won't arrive Liyue soon. Hence, the next plot won't start for now.'
Makoto: What are you thinking about, My Lord?
Primis: Yuuya.
Makoto: ...Him. Huh.
She muttered softly while coldness and killing intent appeared in her eyes. She clearly saw how Yuuya instigate the situation making Primis everyone's enemy. She really wanted to turn that person into ashes at that moment. Too bad, Primis stopped her.
In case she did kill him then people would have started thinking that the reason Yuuya died was because he stood up for Justice. By doing that, in the eyes of people Yuuya would have turned into a symbol of hero. It won't be surprising even if a cult dedicated to him would be formed in the future.
Not only that, another reason for not killing Yuuya was...
'Primis: He still have his use.'
Makoto: Is My Lord going to let him go like this?
Primis: I wonder.
At this, Makoto didn't ask further.
'Primis: Now that Yuuya prestige has risen in Mondstadt, there is no way he would let go of this opportunity to bed some good-looking woman while waiting for Jean and Lumine to wake up. In other words, he won't be hasty to come to Liyue Harbor. More so, he will only come with Lumine. Because hugging the thigh of a protagonist, his system will provide him with more rewards...... In any case, with his absence, things will move smoothly in Liyue Harbor.'
Here he stopped and sigh.
'Primis: Though I know how wrong I am. There're no way things will move perfectly in the world which is part of "Planar War".'
KNOCK!!
KNOCK!!
Suddenly, someone knocked at the door and Primis opened his bluish-black eyes.
Primis: Come in.
CLICK!!
???: Teacher, I have brought you some snacks.
A lively girl enters with dishes in her hand.
She had short dark, indigo hair behind looping, and light skin. She wore a clipping on the right, orange necklace with behind with orange bow and front with small orange bow, yellow and brown leotard with a red ribbon and including back, behind with the big bell, brown glove but different side one side was orange wrist and other was tightness white glove, golden belts with Guoba's snack face, bandage in the right knee, and brown gold boot with the red string.
The name of the girl was Mao Xiangling. She was from Liyue Harbor. She was also one of the passengers of this ship who was sailing towards Mondstadt.
By the way, she was a chef. A chef on a mission to find rare and exotic ingredients from all the corners of the world. Well, that's now she introduced herself.
And since she was well-knowned Chef, the crew was more than happy to have her on the ship. If she took the duty of cooking while travelling, she didn't need to pay for anything.
Of course, Xiangling agreed right away since she loved to cook.
Now, how Primis and her met. You see, everyone on the ship loved her cooking and praised it. The only exception was Primis. He directly rejected the crew person who came to deliver food to him. Let alone taking a taste, he didn't even glance at it and just sent them away from the door.
The person even revealed that it was made my Xiangling but Primis remained unfazed at his decision. It may appear arrogance in the people eyes thinking he was looking down on Xiangling but Primis didn't care. Primis rarely ate the food prepared by someone. He only ate the one Lumine prepared for him.
Hence, no matter how good other people cooking was Primis didn't care.
One should know that Lumine sucked at cooking at the beginning. But with Primis guidance in the last years, she was now the best chef in the word. Even Xiangling fell short compared to her.
And now that Lumine was not with him, its now Makoto turn to learn. So, ever since they left Mondstadt, Primis was teaching her. Makoto who appeared to cook before her death absorbed all the knowledge like sponge.
Primis had confidence that Makoto will reach Lumine level in one year or two. It seemed faster compare to Lumine but don't forget that Primis was teaching many things to Lumine at the same time while Makoto focus was one thing only.
Anyway, back to the topic, Xiangling got curious of this person who didn't want to eat the food prepared by her even after knowing that she was a good chef.
Hence, she herself came and tried to talk to Primis but was rejected too. But it was not enough to stop Xiangling who wished to know why Primis didn't like her cooking. Maybe this could help in improving her dishes if she knew the direction that can make more people like it.
So, from that onwards, she kept on coming every since day to have a talk.
In the end, Primis could only reluctantly let her in because she just won't stop knocking at his door during morning, afternoon, evening, and night. For some peaceful time, he accepted her.
She brough lunch with her that time. Knowing that she won't stop if he didn't take a bite, he did.
While she was looking at Primis with smile seemingly happy that she finally made Primis try her food, Primis mercilessly poured cold water over her smile by pointing out countless things which she could do. This dumbfounded the girl as she in panic took out her notebook and wrote the thing she still remembered.
She then returned to her own cabin and to read what Primis said. At first, she was confused since there were things she didn't know or heard of before. This made her think that Primis didn't how what cooking was and was just make up things.
Still, out of curiosity she tried them and boom. The dish transformed into something much more delicious and beautiful.
From then on, she kept on pestering Primis to try knew dishes she made everyday and gave his uptake.
At first, Primis thought of it as a hassle but he soon got used to it and started teaching her some more things. Since Makoto training was also going on, she also joined. And before long, Xianling started calling Primis as her cooking teacher.
Knowing that she won't stop even if he will tell her to, he let her be.
That's how he got this student of his. And he even had a feeling that in future she won't be the only one.
