The story of an introverted young Adeptus who starts to open up to people thanks to his sister and her "spooky" friend.
All the characters and locations in...
"I... Don't know. just do what you think is right."
"As you wish, director."
"Zhongli... We're not working, you should call me by my name"
"It'll take a bit to get accustomed to, but sure, Miss Hu Tao."
I deadpanned at the honorific, but I decided to let it pass for this time.
...
"Zhongli... Why do people hate us...?"
The man tilted his head
"It is normal for humans to fear death and everything related to it, and I'm afraid that includes us too."
"I mean, that can't be the only reason, right? My job surely isn't enough to judge me."
As I sat there, I couldn't help but feel a sense of defeat wash over me. I slowly lifted my gaze and looked towards the clock, its hands moving steadily as if to taunt me. With a heavy heart, I let out a deep sigh, knowing that time was slipping away from me yet again.
3:41 AM
"I guess no cuddles or anything like that for today, huh?"
Zhongli frowned at my words
"Don't you believe you're moving a bit fast? It's been less than a day, hasn't it?"

his words made me giggle, he reminded me of a concerned father who just discovered his daughter has a boyfriend. or at least, what I imagine the scene to look like...
"Hehe~ Zhongli, you sound just like a worried father."
He put the tips of his fingers on his head in a slow but Inexorable facepalm "The contract I have made with your parents obliges me to-"
"Blah, blah, blah, Can't you just admit that you see me as your daughter~?"
The man flinched and I SWEAR I saw him blush!
"I... I don't know what you're talking about, director Hu."
I gasped audibly as I covered my mouth with both hands
"You're blushing!"
"W-what? No, I'm not-"
I removed my hands from my face, revealing a wide smile
"But I must admit, I also see you as a father figure, Mister Zhongli."
I hugged him as tightly as I could before he could react in any way
"Miss Hu Tao... You're trying to change the subject, aren't you?"
I sweatdropped and started giggling awkwardly "Heh... Eheheh... What... What makes you think that, Mister Zhongli?"
