Reaction Breaktime #3.3: Genshin Sports Festival

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"Hey, wait up! I just want to talk to you for a bit!"  

As Aether attempts to call out to the mysterious guest multiple times after whispering the winner to KR, it only continues to ignore him while walking away.

"It's no use, Aether. He or She isn't going to budge. Let's go back for now." Paimon said, trying to reassure his traveling buddy.

"I'm sorry… it's just the aura that he or she gives out is so familiar to me, I don't know how to describe it." Aether looks down, feeling distressed.

"Paimon wonders as well but let's not worry about it for now. I'm sure we'll get some answers sooner or later. Besides, we always have time!" 

Aether widened his eyes as he remembered that specific quote.

"Paimon…" 

================================
"This isn't goodbye forever…this is goodbye for now…"

"Lumine…" 

"We have time, Aether. We always have time."

"No…Lumine, hold on! Wait!" 

"Aether, stop! Don't leave Paimon alone!" 

"LUMINE!" 
================================
"Aether? Did something happened? Do you want Paimon to cook you up some sticky honey roast?" Paimon asked in concern.

"O-Oh… it's nothing. Besides, you can't even cook in the first place." Aether said as he starts walking back.

"You're so mean! Speaking of which, Paimon is really hungry right now so how about you cook something up for Paimon?" Paimon follows him.

"The emergency food getting hungry? What a surprise." Aether chuckled a bit.

"Gggrrrr, you're this close to having an ugly nickname." Paimon pouted.

"How about after this sports festival, we try out the delicious meals from this world? I am curious about what they eat here. Surely the same goes for you, Paimon." 

"Paimon likes how you think! Oohh, Paimon can't wait any longer!" Paimon starts getting excited.

"By the way, Paimon is curious about something…out of all the students here in ANHS, who do you think is the most interesting among them, in your opinion?" Paimon asked.

"Hmm. I have to say that they are all unique in their own way, just like the people we've met so far in Teyvat but so far, I've taken some interest at atleast six of them." 

"If I remember correctly, I think their names were…Arisu Sakayanagi, Mako Amikura, Suzune Horikita, Chiaki Matsushita, Tsubasa Nanase, and Kiyotaka Ayanokouji." 

"Ahh! Please don't mention that Mako Amikura! Paimon doesn't want to get crushed by her again! Also, almost of the names you've mentioned are females. It's only a good thing that Keqing and Ayaka aren't here right now." Paimon said in a worried tone.

"What about them?" Aether tilted his head.

"Ahhh, It's nothing. You can be so dense sometimes, Aether." Paimon facepalmed.

"And you're emergency food." Aether smiled.

"PAIMON IS NOT EMERGENCY FOOD!"
