"*YAWN* Good Morning...…my Lord *YAWN*"
While Primis, Makoto, Lumine and Paimon were following Jean to Knights of Favonius headquarters, the System Spirit woke up.
"Primis: Finally awake. Huh."
"Yeah. It's been a long time since I have taken a nap. After all, beings like us can live without air, food and sleep."
"Primis: True. Though there are still people out there who still loved that."
"I know what the Lord is trying to say. I have seen some old logs of the System, and it has the information about its precious hosts. After reading it, I can only say one thing.........Pathetic. All of them are."
"Primis: Oh. Is that so."
"Yes. Just what did they mean by, I eat because it makes me attached with my Human side. Human Side? Are you kidding me!? If you really want to remain as Human, why did you even bother to become Adventurer, Cultivator or God. Just live the rest of your lives as those lower species. It's just as excuse that they won't be able to protect their loved ones if they are not strong. With your knowledge as transmigrator, reincarnator or system user, you have countless ways to protect yourself or your loved ones. Truly, stupid humans, rotten humans, backstabber, worthless..."
As System Spirit kept on going for more, Primis just shook his head.
'Primis: It really hates Humans to the core. Not that I don't understand why.'
"Primis: What about those who want to become strong for revenge or something?"
"Well, they can be exceptional. But still, even after extracting their revenge, those people kept on finding ways to go even higher with the pretense that they are doing this for the sake of other people so that they don't have to experience the same pain as them. And like this, they made a lot more enemies which let their anger of weaklings since they can't do anything to the Protagonists. Every one of them is selfish."
"Primis: ......…Where one fight ends, the next begins."
"............Can't deny that."
"Primis: Anyway, doesn't this mean I am the same? I also eat like other Humans."
"No, your different Lord. Compared to others, you seemed to eat not to enjoy but to gain energy from it."
'Primis: Correct. Since I am using all my reserve to heal myself, I still need energy for other basic things like walking, speaking and many more. And because these things don't require much energy, I can gain them simply from the eating...…Well, there are even more ways to do so but for now I will go with it.
"A-Am...I right, my Lord?"
"Primis: I wonder."
"......"
He replied and didn't bother giving a definite answer.
Soon, the headquarters came into their view.
Though all of sudden, Primis moved his head to the side and saw a boy in primarily green bard outfit coming out of a building from a far distance.
Still, after giving him a glance, Primis kept on walking.
Makoto was walking just a step behind while holding the parasol that was covering both noticed Primis action and also looked in that direction.
Seeing that boy, she narrowed her eyes as she knew right away who that person was.
But there was someone else who didn't know about it.
"Lord, do you know him?"
"Primis: Why do you come to that conclusion?"
"Because if you don't then you won't have given him even a single glance."
"Primis: ......… He is the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt. Barbatos."
"Wha--- How could someone as weak as he is called a God? Are you joking, My Lord?"
"Primis: I am not."
"I still can't believe it. He doesn't even come to the strength of Electro Archon."
"Primis: Well, he is the weakest of the Seven."
"He is beyond weakest! I bet even a normal human with a knife can kill him."
Primis just shrugged his shoulders at that.
CLICK!
At this time, Jean entered the Headquarters from the main entrance with Primis and others following behind.

Knights of Favonius Headquarters is one of the noteworthy places in Mondstadt.
It's a place where all the Knights of the city report to and gain their next assignment.
The two rooms main rooms of the Headquarters are the Grand Master's Office and the Mondstadt Library. There is also a locked solitary confinement room and the upstairs that led to the first floor to the watchtower above.
That watchtower is also the one where Primis killed the creature in future.
Anyway, the library was formerly a bathhouse created by the aristocracy for their personal use, but it was later converted into a library after a rebellion. At one point, it was the largest library in northern Teyvat, but was reduced to one-sixth of its original size following its destruction due to some past events.
.

Jean took them all directly to the Grand Master's Office.
There were already two people inside who were talking among themselves.
One of them was a tall lady with honey-brown hair, wearing a purple and white dress. And the other one was the transmigrator.
Paimon: Hey! Lisa and Yuuya.
Hearing her voice, they turned their head towards them.
Lisa: Hi, cutie. Do you miss me so much that you have come to meet?
Lisa showed a seductive while looking at them. Yuuya, on the other hand, blushed a little at Lisa voice and decided to greet them.
Yuuya: Hello, Jean, Lumine, Paimon and…Mr. Herrscher. How's you all doing?
His voice and expression changed a bit when he was about to greet Primis but still succeeded in maintaining the smile.
Only Primis and Makoto noticed it with the former not minding and the later frowning.
Lisa also moved her gaze to the new arrivals. Seeing Primis, she licked her lips and spoke.
Lisa: Hello darling, you must be Herrscher. Lumine talked a lot about you. What do you say? Wanna spend some time with you Big Sist—mmrphhhh.
Not letting her continue, Jean hurried moved and covered Lisa mouth.
Jean: I apologize for this, Your Excellency. I need some time to talk to her a bit.
Seeing her apologetic face, Primis nodded as Jean dragged Lisa to the corner and started talking about something.
On the other hand, Yuuya approached Lumine and Paimon decided to initiate the conversation while completely disregarding Primis' presence.
Yuuya: Are you ok, Lumine, Paimon? You both had a good rest, right?
Lumine: Um.
Paimon: Paimon do.
Yuuya: I am so glad to hear that.
He gave a sigh of relief though some worry could still be seen present of his face.
Of course, Lumine and Paimon noticed it too but for some reason something behind their head was telling him that there was some intent behind Yuuya's words.
As if he, on purpose, wanted them to know he cared for their well-being more than anyone else in this world.
Primis was silently looking at them from behind. Yuuya's motive was as clear as water in his eyes. Still, he decided to let him do whatever he wants. For now.
{Makoto: This person is looking down on you, My Lord. Should I let him know his place?}
{Primis: Wait for now. You will get your chance.}
{Makoto: Ok.}
Makoto backed down. It was also the moment when Yuuya saw her.
Seeing a beautiful woman, he got excited but hurriedly hid it. He had a feeling that he knew who she was from his knowledge of Genshin Impact. Though he didn't quite gasp it for now and decided to think about it later.
Approaching her, he showed his brightest smile and bowed.
Yuuya: Hello, Miss. It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Yuuya. What about you?
His smile and aura would have charmed most of the women. Even if not, they would have felt comfortable in his presence.
However, it was too bad that Makoto remained unfazed.
On the contrary, just like how Yuuya was ignoring Primis, she was also doing the same. Treating him like some air.
Yuuya lips started twitching at that as an awkward expression appeared on his face.
Yuuya: Uh...Miss.
Still no response. Yuuya tried some more but Makoto didn't say anything.
In the end, rage started to build inside him.
'Yuuya: Let me see who you really are, to be this arrogant.'
His eyes started glowing as he used his Appraisal on Makoto. And then...
SLAP!!
A loud sound of slapping resounded in the room as Yuuya fell on the ground.
This attracted everyone's attention as saw Yuuya who had red palm-print on his face and was looking at Makoto with bewildered expression.
Never in his dream he would have thought that Makoto would slap him. And it was so hard that not only his face was paining but it also appeared that one of his ears had trouble hearing as he could only hear "DINNN" from it.
"Bravo! *CLAP**CLAP* Bravo! *CLAP**CLAP* Good. He was also getting on my nerves. *CLAP**CLAP*"
Seeing this, Jean and Lisa hurriedly approached them to enquire what this was about.
Nevertheless, they didn't get the chance to open their mouth as Makoto who was looking down on Yuuya spoke in an extremely cold voice.
Makoto: I already tolerate your rudeness to some degree when you were disregarding Lord's presence like he was not even worth your time. But now you even have the audacity to look at me with those prying and lustful eyes while being fully aware that I belong to my Lord. I really should kill you right now.
Everyone else was shocked at it but they all showed different expressions. Paimon, Jean, and Lisa were looking at Yuuya with disappointed expression while Lumine clenched her fists tightly in fury.
By now, Primis was Lumine's most precious person. His value in her heart far surpassed even her brother, Aether. Hence, she felt pain knowing someone was disrespectful to him in front of her when Primis didn't even do anything to Yuuya.
Jean: If he really did so then I apologize on his behalf, Miss. But Yuuya is not such a person.
Makoto: Is that so. Then don't you ask the Mage.
Jean: Huh...Lisa?
Makoto: Seeing how close they were when we entered this room, I am sure she must know whether he really is such a person or not.
When Jean, Lumine, and Paimon looked at her, instead of looking back Lisa averted her eyes. It was enough proof that whatever Makoto just said was truth.
Paimon: Paimon was right! You really are a pervert, Yuuya!
Lumine: Gross.
Makoto: Trash.
"Scum."
Hearing these unpleasant words thrown at him, Yuuya returned to himself.
Yuuya: W-Wait. Its not what it appeared. I can expl----
Primis: Let's go. I have seen enough for today about how Knights of Favonius treat their guests.
Saying this, Primis turned and decided to leave. Makoto, Lumine, and Paimon also followed naturally.
Jean: Please wait, Your Excellency! Please give us a chance to correct our mistakes! And Traveler, didn't you want our help with something.
Lumine: I do. But...…
Giving a disgusting eye to Yuuya, she continued.
Lumine: I don't want to be in the same room as someone who desecrated Mr. Erste for no reason whatsoever.
Jean: Don't worry, I will resolve it right away.
Said Jean as she turned to Yuuya and spoke in stern tone.
Jean: Yuuya, why don't you go out and have a walk to cool your head.
Yuuya: Wha---Jean, please! Give a moment to exp----
Lisa: Please leave, Yuuya. Otherwise, we have no choice but to call the guards.
Interrupting him in the middle, Lisa said so in monotone. Yuuya was caught off guard and widened his eyes in shock. He had not expected Lisa to not only called him by his name instead of 'darling" but also to tell him to leave.
In the end, he gritted his teeth in frustration and left the room with an ugly expression on his face while closing the door behind loudly.
BANG!!
Everyone except Primis shook their head at Yuuya's childish behavior.
While they were doing so, they didn't notice Primis whose gaze was still at the closed door.
At this moment, the corner of his lips rose a little as he sneered.
'Primis: Haha. I am sure you would have never expected such an outcome. Just a single mistake and your image has fallen rock-bottom in the eyes of Makoto, Lumine, Paimon, Jean, and even Lisa...…This is what happened when you have your eyes on someone that belongs to me. And please don't break right away and become some third-rate villain, will you. It will be too boring if you give up right away. So come again for me and my properties............only to fall. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha'
