Archon of Minus

Chapter 31:Girls swoon for the waist grab

While people can be really different from one another, their body parts are similar. One of those body parts are thighs.

Ah, but they are a great weakness. Indeed, and not just by the pain caused from stabbing.

Once one would put their head on another's thighs, that person would be assaulted by a sense of obligation. Their thighs are now a pillow, truly an remarkable entrapping strategy!

Lumine:For some reason, that smug face you're making right now really makes me want to punch you.

Kumagawa:[Ahaha, is that so? Aren't you rather violent on this fine day?]

Lumine:What were you so smig about...Wait...It was about that thing with Jean, wasn't it!?

Kumagawa:[That is a part of it, yes.]

Lumine:What's up with that? Are her thighs so good, huh?

Kumagawa:[Now, now, there's no need to get angsty. I might have uses that technique on her, but I was able to develop it solely from you. Lumine-chan's thighs are the best!]

Lumine:Hmph!

Patron:Uh...Should I leave you two alone?

Kumagawa had once again visited Angel's Share with Lumine and Paimon in tow. Sitting down at a table with one of the patrons they were talking about the newest argument in town, before their conversation topic somehow shifted to thighs.

Paimon:Don't mind ut, they're always like this.

Patron:Right...

Lumine:So, getting back on topic...Uh, what were we talking about again?

Kumagawa:[Who's the strongest in Mondstadt, right?]

Lumine:Yeah, that.

Paimon:The strongest fighter? Must be someone who can floor a whole gang of hilichurls with just one punch!

Lumine:There must be far more to it than that.

Paimon:Wow...Then it really must be tough to become the strongest of all. But anyway...Is there, like, a general agreement in the city on who it is, or...

Patron: Hah. Expecting people to come to a swift and straightforward consensus in the City of Freedom is like expecting Fisherman's Toast to drop out of the sky. Everyone's got their own opinion, backed up by a unique set of cherry-picked information...But let's be honest, that's what makes the discussion so impassioned and entertaining. Mainstream opinion is polarized, with most people supporting one of two candidates. One is the Dandelion Knight, the other is the Darknight Hero.

Kumagawa:[The Darknight Hero, huh...]

Kumagawa had heard about this mysterious figure. And he has a certain missing wine making red head as a prime suspect.

Lumine:Paimon, who are you voting for?

Paimon:Paimon votes for you!

Kumagawa:[Lumine-chan does have great attributes to help her with that, after all.]

Paimon:No, no, that's not it! Paimon votes for you two!

Kumagawa:[Eh?]

Lumine:Huh?

Paimon:Paimon doesn't care whta anyone thinks, you two are the strongest duo in Mondstadt!

Kumagawa and Lumine tgen stared at one another. This continued for a few minutes before Lumine nodded her head and Kumagawa shrugged his shoulders.

Paimon:But let's go into the tavern and talk to the patrons. Maybe we'll pick up some juicy gossip.

Patron:Oh, I do envy your life of leisure...But don't mind me, of course. I guess I'll just...Get back to work.
