After sobbing for some time, Lumine calmed down. Then she got up from his lap and sat beside him on the other free side.
Not that she didn't want to keep sitting on his lap. She was worried since Primis had just woken up and hadn't recovered completely. Hence, she didn't want to make things difficult for him.
Though she still held the corner of his clothes.
Primis let her be. But another voice came from behind when he was about to talk with Zhongli again.
???: Teacher!
Hearing this voice, he wasn't surprised because he had expected this after seeing the name of the restaurant where Zhongli brought him, Wanmin Restaurant.
This means it belonged to none other than his student, Mao Xiangling. And this voice confirmed it.
He looked at Zhongli who just shrugged his shoulders and averted his eyes. After all, it was him, he broke through the storm around Inazuma to come here. Otherwise, even Adeptus would die if they faced Ei's storm.
Primis then glanced back and saw Xiangling running towards him with some ingredients in her hand. The good thing was that she stopped just after reaching him and didn't jump on him like the others.
Looking at her, he could tell that she had gotten stronger. He can also sense blood from her which was the result of taking part in bloody fights.
'Primis: According to this world standard, her strength is level 127. It seems that even if We were away, she still participated with Keqing and other soldiers of Liyue Harbor to take down those Man-Eaters.'
Primis: It's been some time since We last saw you, Xiangling. It's good to see you are doing fine.
Xiangling: Hehe. You too, Teacher. And…
Here she pouted and spoke while pointing her finger at him.
Xiangling: It's not 'some' time. It's been more than two years.
Primis: More than two years?
'Primis: Now that We think about it, We only counted the last year when We were in slumber. We forgot that We had come to Inazuma even sooner and spent months to make Inazuma move in the direction We wanted.'
Primis: You're right. We have been so busy that We didn't realize that much time has passed.
'Primis: Well, in truth, for a being like Us a million years passed in a blink of an eye. Hence, two years weren't that much. It's like we met each other a moment ago.'
Still, he didn't say that because it would affect everyone around him greatly.
Then he looked past Xiangling and saw two more familiar faces following behind.
Primis: So, you both are here too, Ganyu and Shenhe.
Yes. The two women who became Primis Battle Maid in Liyue. One was a half-qilin Adeptus, and the second was a disciple of an Adeptus.
At first, they both were astonished by Primis's new appearance but then they collected themselves and kneeled together.
THUD!!
THUD!!
Ganyu & Shenhe: It's a pleasure to see you again, My Lord.
Primis: Um.
Nodding he turned to Zhongli.
Primis: Anyone else?
Showing an awkward expression, Morax replied.
Zhongli: No. I only brought these three as they are the only ones somewhat close to you in Liyue.
Primis: True.
Suddenly, Primis felt that someone pinch on his left arm, though his strong skin made it difficult for the person to accomplish that completely.
Lumine: You really know a lot of women don't you, Mr. Erste~
Glancing at her, he saw the blonde showing a chilling smile with a dangerous aura around her.
Fortunately, Zhongli came to his rescue.
Zhongli: Ahem. Xiangling, it's been a long time since you saw your teacher. Don't you want to show him how much you have improved?
Xiangling: Of Course. Teacher, wait a few minutes I will make some luxurious meals for you.
Primis: Um, We will…One more thing.
Just when his student was about to enter the restaurant, Primis spoke.
Xiangling: What teacher?
Primis: Don't call Us Teacher from now on...…Call Us Mentor.
'Primis: The address 'Teacher' seems more suited for Scáthach than Us.'
Hearing this Xiangling showed a confused expression but seeing that Primis had no intention of elaborating, she didn't question.
Xiangling: Ok, Tea—I mean, Mentor.
Next, she entered the shop and started preparing her best food to impress Primis.
Then, they got busy with their conversations again.
A while later, Primis asked.
Primis: Now that Our identity is known to everyone, Liyue Qixing must have approached you regarding this.
This question was for the Ganyu and Shenhe who were still kneeling behind him.
Ganyu: Y-Yes, My Lord. Lady Ningguang approached us and asked if she could see you. She wanted to apologize for not being able to receive the Lord properly during your time in Liyue. Hence, she wants to hold a banquet to give a proper welcome this time.
Primis: Hmm… Did Adepti approach too?
Shenhe: Yes. At first, Master was furious and sad knowing I gave myself to the Lord to heal her. But when that scene appeared in the sky, all her anger dissipated. And she said, my future will be broader now that I am under you.
Primis: We see.
He spoke and went into thought while ignoring how Lumine tried to pinch him again when she heard Shenhe say "I gave myself to you".
'Primis: As expected from Adepti. Compared to humans, they have a better understanding of things.'
Shenhe: Adepti also wants to meet you too, My Lord.
Primis: We are not surprised at this point since, almost everyone in the World wishes to meet us.
The Geo Archon sitting at the front chuckled at this.
Zhongli: Well, who won't? After that display of yours, you are basically a celebrity. Or should I say, a God?... In any case, seeing you face-to-face can now be considered an honor of a lifetime.
Sighing, Primis shook his head.
Primis: Whatever… We will think of meeting them when We feel like it.
Ganyu & Shenhe: Yes, My Lord.
Time went by.
.
.
A few minutes later.
Xiangling returned and placed the dishes on the table.
There were many of them. Like Butter Crab, Hot Spring O'Clock, Jade Parcels, Golden Crab, Vessie Chicken, Sashimi Platter, Tianshu Meat, Tandoori Roast Chicken, Bamboo Shoot Soup, Crepes Suzette, Cassoulet, Calla Lily Seafood Soup, Apple Roly Poly, and finally at the center was Adeptus' Temptation.
Just by looking at them, Paimon's mouth was filled with water. She was barely controlling herself from lunging at it.
Primis: Join Us.
Ganyu & Shenhe: Yes.
They both then got up and took seats beside the table. When they did so, Primis moved all the vegetable dishes in front of Ganyu as he knew that she didn't like meat.
Seeing this, the half-qilin was startled but then a smile appeared on her face.
Ganyu: Thank you.
Primis: Um.
Nodding, Primis looked at Xiangling and asked.
Primis: Is there something else still being prepared inside?
Xiangling: Not yet, Mentor.
Primis: Then you sit down too.
Xiangling: Ok.
Saying she sat with Zhongli in front of Primis. Then everyone started eating.
Ei picked one of the dishes and used her chopstick to cut the meat into small pieces. Next, she picked up one of them and brought it to Primis who opened his mouth and ate it naturally.
Primis: It's good. You have improved, Xiangling.
Xiangling: Ehehe.
CRACK!!
Primis: Stop breaking the chopsticks in your hand, Lumine.
Veins appeared on the blonde forehead as she witnessed Ei feeding Primis and then eating the next one. Again and Again and Again.
'Lumine: They are doing indirect kisses like it was normal.'
Still, she put a forced smile on her face and spoke.
Lumine: I am sorry, Mr. Erste. It's just that I still have a hard time controlling my new strength.
'Primis: What hard time are you talking about? In the last year, you have already mastered your control over it.'
Shaking his head, he opened his mouth and ate another piece fed by Ei before his attention was directed to Paimon who was eating while sitting on the table.
Seeing how dirty her clothes were becoming along with her hands and the table around her, his lips twitched.
Primis: Lumine, feed Paimon. Otherwise, she will make the table too dirty.
Hearing this, the Traveler looked at Fairy who was wasting more food than she was eating.
Sighing, she put down her new chopsticks and pulled Paimon back with her collar.
Paimon: Eh? Paimon food is going away.
Lumine: It's not. Stay still, I will feed you.
Paimon: You won't steal Paimon's food, right?
Lumine: I won't. I have enough for myself, so, why would I steal yours?
Paimon: *Stare*
Noticing her suspicious stare, Lumine sighed before feeding her some.
Paimon: *nom* *nom*
Once food entered her mouth, Paimon closed her eyes and started eating with contentment.
Before long, the food was finished.
However, it would be a lie to say that others didn't feel that what they ate was somewhat bland after looking at Primis and Ei.
While Primis just remained sitting on his spot letting Ei feed him, they had beautiful smiles while looking at each other. It looked like they were in their own world.
When they were done and drinking tea as the last, Primis spoke.
Primis: You are leaving, don't you, Zhongli and Xiangling?
At this, others stopped and looked at the two people.
Not feeling surprised, Zhongli smiled and asked.
Zhongli: When did you realize it?
Primis: The moment We asked you about the current situation of Liyue… Right now, Liyue Harbor's condition is very delicate. They have a dire need for their Archon to look over them even from the shadows. Yet, you are here because you are worried about Us. For that, We are very grateful…But now that We are fine, it's time for you to return as soon as possible.
TAK!
Putting the cup down, Zhongli nodded.
Zhongli: You're right. I would have loved to spend more time here but I am already away for too long.
Primis: We see.
Lumine: What about you, Xiangling?
Xiangling: I also came with our Archon to see how tea—Mentor is doing. But now seeing him fine, I must also return to help Ms. Keqing to take care of those Man-Eaters and to look after my father.
Ei: That's also why you made so much. Not only was it for the celebration of meeting with your Mentor but also to finish all the ingredients you have stored.
Xiangling: Um. Most ingredients are from Liyue. Hence, the people of Inazuma don't know much about them. I thought of teaching a little about how to use some of them but seeing how exhausted they would be after training, I decided not to do so and let them have the rest.
Lumine: In case, you leave the materials in your shop, they will rot after some days.
Xiangling: Um. I also thought of bringing that back but then seeing that we all could finish them, I decided to use all of them by making an ample amount of it.
Zhongli: It worked well as none was wasted.
Primis: Well…
At this everyone's attention turned to the spot of the table which still had some food stains. But then they hurriedly shook their heads.
'Everyone except Paimon: Forget it. Paimon is a kid. A kid.'
At this, Paimon showed a confused expression and looked at them. She saw the looks thrown at her was that of 'pity'.
Paimon: Hey, why are you looking at Paimon like this?
Lumine: Ahem. We thought it was a pity that Xiangling didn't have the materials to make a sweet dish that Paimon would like.
Paimon: What! Paimon wants to eat it.
Primis: Do you even have a space in your stomach, right now?
Paimon: Don't you know that girls have two stomachs? One for food, one for sweets.
Primis: Girl?
At this, Primis started looking around.
Primis: Where?
Lumine: Pfft~
The Traveler looked away and started laughing. Others also started giggling.
Finally, realizing what was happening, Paimon shouted.
Paimon: Hey! Paimon was talking about herself!
Primis: You should be more specific and say 'little girl'.
At this, everyone started laughing loudly.
The little fairy, on the other hand, pouted. Then she flew to Primis and started hammering his chest with her tiny fists.
.
.
.
An hour later.
Zhongli and Xiangling were done with whatever stuff they had to pack and were now standing on shore.
Primis and others were also three to send them off.
Zhongli: I will think over your offer after returning and will answer when you come to Liyue.
Primis: Sure.
Xiangling: Mentor, I will be waiting for you too. So, come soon.
Primis: We will try.
Smiling, she stepped back and stood by Geo Archon's side. Zhongli then glanced back at the Ganyu and Shenhe standing behind Primis and sent a voice transmission to them.
Zhongli: Please take care of them.
Primis: They are Ours. So, of course, We will.
Smiling Morax nodded and put his hand on Xiangling's shoulder.
SHINE!
There was a flash of light before they disappeared from the spot.
Primis and others stayed on their spot for a few minutes and kept on looking in the direction they left off.
Ei: Shall we return too?
The Electro Archon said before holding Primis's arm with one hand and his hand with the other, intertwining their fingers.
Looking at her beautiful smile as she looked at him, Primis also smiled a little and nodded.
Primis: Yeah. Let's.
With this, they turned and walked to the city while others followed.
