"It would be a good idea if we went with the flow of this quest," He whispered close to their ear.

"I don't want to be in the disadvantageous position here." The host nodded their head in agreement while still being on the parasite's shoulders, too lazy to walk on their own.

What he meant was, they could solve this 'mysterious' sleeping beauty syndrome but decided not to. The others in front of them were excited for an adventure after the whole Stormterror incident, bored out of their mind from...well from nothing to do.

So why not let them be the kind souls they are to let them enjoy themselves being the adventurers they are?

The creature was smiled in satisfaction after his host agreed with him.

With the tip from the guy named Jianqiu, they headed back towards the path they came from and looked for the cart.

Once they neared a bridge, the group heard some commotion up ahead and saw a man surrounded by whoppleflowers. 

He was wearing a Montstad styled outfit with a cart lying not far from him. Probably shitting his pants lmao.

"Yikes, that's so many of them," Paimon announced the obvious.

Aether and Fischl went to the rescue while the other two slacked behind a little bit. 

Sure, they could help but why burden yourself with unnecessary jobs when other people can do it.

After they smacked the shit out of the whoppleflowers, (those annoying bitches deserve to die) the guy crawled up and thanked his saviors.

"I thought that I would be a goner, thank you so much!"

Paimon then asked the question and got straight to the point. "So which one are you, Ben or Fritz?"

'wait 2 people were missing???? I didn't know this crucial info????'. They thought, while still wearing a poker face look. Should've paid attention you dumb bitch.

"I-I'm Ben! How did you know my name?"

Annnnnd that's where they decide to tune out because something interesting caught their eye. Or an aura I suppose.

 They got off his shoulders while pulling the sleeves of the creature, they got closer to him and pointed in the direction of Dihua Marsh.

"I thought I felt something strong coming from there."

He then looked at the direction the finger was pointing to and focused a little bit. 

True to their words a slightly strong aura was in their view. It was a little strong and at the level of at least 3 knights combined.

They then smiled and said, "It's a pretty color, like the night sky or something." The creature also smiled and thought of the possibilities of meeting the owner of that refined aura.

 It's possible to meet them but he would rather avoid the trouble. 

It's either the owner of the aura was strong to the point where they could tone down his aura into a weak one, 

or they're just stronger than average. 

After all, the meteorite incident called out most of the experienced adventurers out to investigate. So maybe they'd meet.

"I guess it's up to fate then"

"What?" they turned in his direction and he casually brushed it off. "Nothing. Just mumbling;"

"Ok then" They shrugged at his response and walked to the other 3 people plus 1 bird in front of them.

Aether looked back at them and said "Let's head over to Dihua Marsh, there's another person that needs saving there."

Paimon interjected, " And Paimon thinks that YOU GUYS SHOULD HELP OUT ASWELL???? HELLO WE DID DIRTY WORK"

Both of them looked away from Paimon and started ignoring her, "HEY Paimon wants you guys to help to so that you'll do something PRODUCTIVE"

"What? Did you hear that?" they said to the creature then turned to Aether. "Did you hear that Aether?"

Aether giggled and played along, "Nope. Probably just the wind." Paimon GAsPED dramatically

"The betrayal that I feel right now is unmeasurable Aether"

Before yelling at Aether like 'ThIS is Not What yOU sHoulD sAy' or 'YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO AGREE WITH ME'.

" She mad mad." The creature muffled some giggles before looking at their host while biting their lips to prevent him from laughing. The host as well, both of them were doing the same thing.

Annoying the. ABSOLUTE.SHIT. Out of Paimon.

They ran while Paimon was floating at light speed towards them.

"AIGHT GURL CHILL WERE JUST LAUGHING-"

Fischl and Oz were collectively sighing while Aether giggled at their stupidity.

"Let us proceed as per Adeline's request, Mein fraulein."

"We shall Oz."

[ I'm back bitches ]

hehe
