Geh, this big winged lizard's roar is too loud, not more less than Aqua's daily ranting.
The young looking boy looks hostile for a while, but after the lizard fly away, that boy is gone too.
I cancel my skill and talk to both of my companion, "I just told you to not let go off me, great."
"Ehehe~" said Paimon with a dry laugh.
"Ehehe my ass, where is it? Where is the small flying mascot who didn't hear my warning huh~"
"Iwth hwuuuuwweth, hweewt Fhwaihmwon fghwoo~~" as I pinch Paimon's cheeks, holy cow, so elastic.
"So cute- ah! Please forgive us Kazuma, we was astonished by your skill, we can't help it, and uhmm, I am sorry too, ehehe~"
...damn, that shy smile really dangerous, if I still single, I bet that I'll fall for her. Aaaah~ I miss Megumin and co. I should keep my cool.
"*sigh, okay okay, Paimon, can I chew your cheek later?"
"hueeh? No! Paimon isn't a foo- hey, what is that red thingy stone?"
"Hmmm, ruby? No, crystal? Let me check it- eh?" I can feel my energy drained like when someone used [Drain Touch] on me, I let the red crystal go from my hands.
"Kazuma! Are you okay? You looks so pale."
What? Am I that pale? It was just for a few seconds, is it because I using too much magic and skills or from the red stone that drained me in a mere second?
"It seems I am fine with this stone, I will keep it with me, come on, we need to go to the city and check your condition."
"Ah, thanks, I'll take your offer"
Lumine helped me to keep walking supported with her shoulder, I didn't have any time to have any indecent thought because I tried to keep my consciousness and not to puke.
As we keep walking and finally get out of the woods, I can hear something is coming towards our location. I think Lumine and Paimon know that and decide to stop for a second.
"Hey you! Stop right there!"
Is jumping and stopped right before their target a normal greetings in this world?
"May the Anemo God protect you, stranger."
That's a nice outfit for her if I'm gonna be frank to her. Rider glasses, or pilot? Leather jacket and short pants with bunny like hairband and leather boots, is that a bow? I didn't see any arrows with her, is she ran out of arrows?
"I am Amber, Outrider of the Knight of Favonius."
That's a cool salute pose- ugh what the heck with this headache.
"You don't look like the citizen of Mondstadt. Explain yourself."
Aah don't shout out that loud for the god sake!
"We're not looking for trouble, we need a place to check our friend condition." Paimon said that with a serious tone, that's sounds weird, but I can't say anything or I'll barf and puke all of my guts.
"That's all the disguised bandit would say- wait, he looks so pale, is he sick or something?"
"He get ashore feom the sea near here, it seems he tried to not let us worry but he broke down not too long ago." That's a nice excuse from Lumine, but why is my image make me looks like a try hard guys.
"I understand, my patrolling time is almost over, so we can go straight to Mondstadt."
Thanks god, she understands my condition and decided to bring us to the city.
When we keep walking towards the city, Lumine and Paimon introduce themselves while not mentioning Amber about both of us as outlander. That's a nice move Lumine, I'll give her a headpat when this nausea is gone.
"Guards! Take out the stretcher, and bring him right to the Church!" is she a high ranked officer in this city?
"Huh? Why should we? They are just a stranger, we must not let any suspicious group coming through this gate." come on dude! I'm dying right here!
"I will take the responsibility if they do anything wrong inside the city! Just bring him to the Church and let the deaconess check his condition! Hurry up!" *tears up*, what a kind girl, let this Onii-san pat your head later, wai-, is she older than me or not? Nah, I'll let it slip for this one.
After that, the guard responded and put me on the stretcher then brought me to the curch that looks quite far from here, can I hold this up? They are quite rough on me, like they not used to this kind of thing, are they really a guards of this town? I really doubt them, but Amber looks like a decent officer rarher than these guard, I won't said it out loud tho.
They put me on the long bench inside the curch, Oi, not on the bed? Seriously?
"The deaconess is here!" said on of the guard, can you lower your voice? Even Lumine and Paimon frown their eyes and glare at that guard.
"I am the deaconess of Barbatos Church, Barbara. Why are you put the patient on the couch rather than the patient room? Ah enough, [Shining Miracle]!"
Is that a healing spell? Is she chanting while dancing? It looks pretty cute tho. Hey- did she just mentioned a patient room? What the heck with the guards in this city?
After the deaconess chant her speel, I felt something coated my whole body and surprisingly my nausea and headache gone, it felt so good.
"Thank you for the trouble, Barbara " said Amber apologetically.
"*shake heads* no problem, is there any people in need, we must help them." is the girls in the city really have a good heart? I feel so touched.
"Kazuma, how is your condition?" Lumine asked me with worried expression.
"I'm fine, and thank you Miss Deaconess for your help. If you need help with anything, just tell me" whoa, I sounds like a hooker.
"No, I am glad that I can be a help to you. I am sorry, but I need to go now, see you later Amber."
"Yeah, and thank you, see you later too." aaand she's gone.
The guard are gone too, they are kind of annoying too but thanks to them for brought me to this place.
After chatting a bit with amber and some nuns in the curch, I check my condition and I can say that I'm fine, we go outside and stay at the bench around the big statue outside the curch. The statue looks like the one on the tiny lake, what is it name again? The statue of the Seven or something?
"I really want to ask both of you, what is Paimon? A mascot?" Amber asked that and Lumine tried to answer her but I cut her off in the middle.
"She is our traveling companio-"Emergency Food"
"Hey! That's even worse than being a mascot!" uwaah she is mad.
"Just kidding buddy, and thanks for worrying about me before."
"Humph! Paimon isn't worried about you at all!" heh, a little tsundere we have here.
"Ehehe, what a rowdy bunch you are. Did you have a glider on you? It can help you from falling from the high places, if you didn't have it, here is my spares and this is a guide how to use them. I need to go to HQ, let's meet each other at 'Good Hunters' near the fountain plaza, I will treat you with some meal there."
"Really?! Paimon want Fisherman's Toast!"
"Ahahaha, okay, leave it to me! See you later."
A backpack and this thing is a glider? I can make them later with my [Smithing] skill, so I let Lumine take them and I read the manuals with Paimon and Lumine.
"Hey, isn't this....." Paimon seems doubtful with the guide book.
"A story book....." Lumine answer awkwardly.
"Maybe they make a guide like a story book to make it easier to understand- maybe." I really don't know what to say.
"So, what are we going to do now?" I asked and wait for their answer.
"Maybe search for a place to stay- do we have any money to use in this world?" a good point.
"What is the currency in this world? Paimon?" I asked back.
"Paimon isn't a currency! It's Mora, the currency that used in Tevyat is Mora."
"*sigh* If they accept Eris as currency we will be filthy rich and life like a young masters somewhere in the other world."
"Heee, so you are a rich young master in your world, Kazuma?" Paimon asked with a sparkle in her eyes, where is the effect came from.
"Well, I can buy some mansion if I want, but I already own a mansion so I don't need to buy them again."
"Uwaaah, seriously? Where you store your money? Paimon didn't see any coin pouch on you?" well, she is right.
"It's inside this card" I showed them my guild card.
"An ID card? I can see your name and your class, level and -*gasp* 300 million Eris....."
"What!! 300 million!" Paimon, your jaw gonna fall there.
"Well, unfortunately I can't use my money here. Ah, don't look at the back of my card." as I said that while took back my card from them.
"Ah- we want to see more~" Paimon complained, well, it contains the record of the monster and quest that I cleared, and all of my skills.
"There are some restricted information on the back of my card, sorry but I shouldn't let you see that." I said with a bit serious tone.
"He is right Paimon, and adventurer shouldn't show their trump cards to the other."
"Is that so? Paimon let you off this time." why she sounds so haughty.
We keep chatting dor a while as I rest my body from the exhaustion.
"Should you try that glider? I kinda curious how it works. I can see the fountain plaza from here. You should go there with that glider, Paimon and me will follow you from behind."
"Eeeh, Paimon want to go with Lumine."
"Hee, so you want to leave me alone, how cruel of you, hu~ hu~ hu" that was so obvious fake tears.
"Hwaa, don't cry Kazuma, okay, Paimon will stay with you okay?" Ehh? She buy my bullshit? How pure is this fluffy marshmallow?
"Haha, I am going first then, see you later both of you." said Lumine.
"Ou, have a safe trip." as I said that, she jumped off than pull the little string from the backpack.
*Swush
A pair of wings came out from that little backpack, I see, it can be folded then pushed it inside the backpack, I think I can make them later.
"Eeeh! You can make them!? You said that you are just an adventurer, right?"
"Well, Blacksmith and Artisan also categorized as a class, no?"
"..." heh, speechless Paimon isn't that bad.
"Let's go, we shouldn't let Lumine wait for us too long."
"Okay."
I really want to jump from here, but after the accident with the Lizard Runners and in the Iris room, I decided to not jump. I shouldn't be reckless here, Aqua isn't here so I should be careful.
We decide to go down with stairs and met up at the fountain plaza, I saw lumine and Amber chatting near the fountain and I walk faste- run toward them.
"Sorry for being late guys."
"No problem, what are you two doing up there?" asked Amber with curiousity in her tone.
"Hey hear Paimon out! Kazuma said he can make the glider just from watching Lumine take off with glider." praise me more.
"Eh? You can? So can you- "If I want to make it for myself, but I can do the maintenance if you want, I preffer to let the professional do that tho."" I cut off Amber's answer so it wouldn't make me in troublesome thing like make glider for everyone in town.
"I-is that so, you are quite frank are you not? Anyway, the food is here! Let's eat them while it still hot!"
"Yaaay! Food!" Paimon being Paimon, food first, talk later.
We enjoy the food that treated by Amber, it's not bad or rather, this is quite delicious.
After we ate and let the food digested for a while, I can see the sky getting dark by a minute, is it going to rain- no, storm? It seems Amber quite aware of this situation.
"Oh no! The Stormterror incoming!"
Stormterror? That's quite scary for a nickname.
A few second after Amber's warning, I activated my [Enemy Detection] skill.
Oh no, please not another problem, please.
