Chapter 33: Encountering Paimon and Ying
"So the Riddler or something, get out of Teyvat!"
Su Mu complained dissatisfiedly.
"Riddler, what's that?"
A familiar voice sounded in his ears, and Su Mu was about to answer what he suddenly realized, so he sat up suddenly.
"Oops! Cheated corpse! ”
Stunned, he opened his eyes and saw a white-haired creature the size of an arm hiding behind a yellow-haired human, secretly looking at Su Mu.
"Pie...... Paimon? You...... Is it Ying? Am I dreaming? ”
Su Mu sat in the tent in a daze, and he had just sat up too fast, causing his brain to be a little deprived of oxygen, and hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes.
"Hey, how do you know us, and what a hallucination, we're real!!"
Looking at Paimon's cute stomping feet, Su Mu almost cried.
"I called them over, and I got up early to watch the sunrise when I couldn't sleep, and it turned out that they came from the sea, and I thought they should be cold and let them eat some food."
The sound of the fire coming from outside, I don't know what I'm busy with at the moment.
"I can understand the food, but why are they in my tent!"
Su Mu complained while arranging the quilt.
"It's not because you've been talking in your dreams, and Sister Burning Fire is worried that you don't know what to do, so let's come and see you, huh! Kindness as donkey liver and lungs, traveler let's go! ”
With that, Paimon flew to the Traveler's side, tugging at the Traveler's arm before leaving.
"Ahh
"Hey, there's something delicious!"
Paimon's eyes lit up, his little finger pointed to the corner of his mouth, and his eyes kept spinning around, "Hmm...... Traveler, why don't we finish our meal and leave? ”
Ying covered her head and looked at Paimon helplessly, seeing that the food couldn't walk directly.
"Goo~Goo~"
At this moment, Ying's stomach also made a meaningless sound, and she was ashamed to cover her stomach directly.
The seaside in the early morning was slightly cool, listening to the sound of the waves rolling and smelling the aroma wafting from Su Mu cooking, the three people around licked the corners of their mouths.
"Traveler, I think this made by Su Mu looks delicious, what do you think?"
Paimon floated around the trio, as if chasing the fragrance in the air, inhaling it all in his nose before it dissipated.
"Okay, I'll be able to eat it right away, but be careful when it's hot. Come on, let me divide the bowl, this is the fire, this is Paimon's, this is the glow. ”
Suki had prepared Paimon and his future partner's cutlery a long time ago, expecting to meet them one day, but he still felt a little unreal when he actually met them.
"Oh~, and my bowl! This size is just right~"
Paimon looked at the bowl in his hand curiously, and then took the small spoon that Su Mu had made for her, and couldn't wait to eat Su Mu's food.
"Ying doesn't seem to speak very much, isn't she very good at speaking Teyvat's language, it's okay to practice more, no one will laugh at you here."
Su Mu saw that Ying's mood was a little low, so he smiled and put a bowl of food for her and said.
"What happened in the tent just now was my tone heavy, please don't mind."
When playing the game, Su Mu felt that the minds of these two people were relatively heavy, and they had to say things bluntly for such people, otherwise they might not be able to make up some big drama in their hearts.
Ying, who took the food, shook her head: "It's okay...... It's just that I'm not proficient in the language yet. ”
"That's good, you will be proficient in talking more, and it's okay to say wrong."
Su Mu said with a smile as he filled the fire and Paimon with food, "Now that the ingredients are shabby, let's eat a little bit first, and when we get to Mondstadt, I'll definitely invite everyone to the Deer Hunter for a delicious meal!" ”
Burning Fire and Ying didn't know what a deer hunter was, and they didn't react to this, the only thing they knew was that Paimon's eyes were really big for the deer hunter.
"Is it really a deer hunter? Wow~ Travelers, we earned it! The Deer Hunter restaurant in Mondstadt is very expensive, and there are queues, and the food is very tasty, emmm~ is a little better than Sumu's food! ”
Paimon scooped a few mouthfuls of fish soup with a spoon and said uncertainly.
"But then again, Su Mu, why did you know me and the Traveler, we had never seen you before."
Paimon's question wasn't just Ying wanting to know the answer, but even the fire on the side enjoying the delicious fish soup pricked up his ears.
"Because I'm not from Teyvat, I'm from a distant world, and there is a book in our world that contains the story of Yinghe's adventures in Teyvat, and I bought a copy, but I didn't read much before I crossed over."
Su Mu spread his hands and said half-truthfully.
"Huh~ Your words are so informative, Paimon is a little dizzy."
"Don't get dizzy, Paimon eats, let's talk slowly. Now allow me to introduce myself formally: my name is Sumu, and I am an adventurer in Mondstadt, and this is my companion Ignite, and it is up to her to decide whether or not to tell you about her. ”
"Huh~ Why did it suddenly become so formal? Wait~ I'll put the bowl down first. ”
Paimon carefully placed the bowl on the beach, where she still had the fish soup she hadn't finished.
"I'm Paimon, and this one next to me is a Traveler."
"Hey Paimon! Ignite the fire, you introduce yourself first, and let the traveler brew first. ”
"Okay~cough~cough! Hello Paimon and Ying. I am a fire. Su Mu's companion, unlike you, I am a human from ancient times. ”
Listening to Ranhuo's introduction, Su Mu glanced at her in surprise, Ranhuo is not Xiaobai, does he believe in himself by introducing himself like this?
Looking at Su Mu's surprised expression, Burning Fire blinked and gave him an affirmative response.
"Huh~! Ancient times! How is it possible, human beings will not live that long! ”
Paimon said with a look of disbelief.
"I haven't been alive all the time, but I just woke up before, and my understanding of Teyvat may be the same as Ying's."
"Huh~? So none of us are normal people! ”
Paimon touched his head, and what Burning Fire said seemed to make sense.
"Paimon is on point."
"Hey! That's not the point~"
Paimon stomps his feet angrily.
Seeing that the atmosphere was slowly becoming warmer, Ying finally spoke: "Hello everyone, I'm Ying." I came from another world, here to find my brother. This is my ...... Emergency food. ”。
"It's not emergency food! It's a partner! Buddy! ”
Watching Paimon stomp his feet one after another, everyone burst out laughing, and the unfamiliar estrangement faded in the laughter.
