(3RD POV)
(Two weeks passed since the trio had some "fun" with Teucer, who turned out to be Childe's younger brother. It's bizzare experience for them to work together with a Fatui Harbinger like Childe. And now, the trio seems having fun after done with their commission about helping the city for decoration for upcoming festival. But...]
Paimon: "You know, this is starting to feel like chili pepper weather. Mmm, Paimon's hungry for some fresh and fiery spicy food that let your taste buds have a blast! And if there's one dish that fits the bill, it's Black-Back Perch Stew! C'mon, Lumine, Slime's Lover! let's pay a visit to Wanmin Restaurant!"

[As always, Paimon feels hungry after they all done with those commissions from the citizen of Liyue.]
Lumine: "Well... When Paimon's get hungry... 😊"
Musashi: "That means... lunch time! 😆"

[And to fill their stomach, they are going to a place to eat. And that place is none other than... Wanmin Restaurant.]
Paimon: "Hey, guess who's here~!"
Musashi: "Yo!"
Lumine: "Sorry to bother you..."

Xiangling: "Oh, no way! It's the Travelers, and Paimon!"Chef Mao: "Ah, Traveler, welcome! Good to see you

Chef Mao: "Ah, Traveler, welcome! Good to see you. What can I get for you?"
Paimon: "We want some Black-Back Perch Stew!"
Chef Mao: "Alright, Black-Back Perch Stew it is! Make yourselves at home, it'll be right out for you in just a moment."
Paimon: "Thanks, Chef Mao!"

[Chef Mao starts making their order while Xiangling decides to have a conversation with their friends after so long.]
Xiangling: "I was just thinking about you guys, and now you're here! It feels like you heard my call and came running, tee-hee."
Paimon: "You mean, you were about to come looking for us?"

[Xiangling nods vigorously. It's look like their fate truly intertwined.]
Xiangling: "Uh-huh, there's something I wanna discuss with you guys. Did you happen to see how the city looked on the way over here? Everyone's getting ready for the Moonchase Festival!"
Musashi: Oh yeah! Neko-chan said to me about this before!"
Lumine: "So that's what it's called."

[But the trio seems want to know more about this "Moonchase Festival" despite knowing the name of it.]
Paimon: "Moonchase Festival? Is that another one of Liyue's ancient traditions?"
Xiangling: "That's right! Moonchase is a big festival where we celebrate the arrival of the fall by moonlight. The old folks say that thousands of years ago, this was the time of year when the adepti would seek the Way. But it's completely different nowadays. We eat our favorite foods, spend time with friends and relatives, enjoy the moon and the flowers... so much easier. Basically, we just do all the things that people like doing and don't take a whole lot of effort."
Paimon: "Sounds like Paimon's kind of festival!"

[Xiangling chuckled as she nods her head. At the same time, Musashi and Lumine already have an idea... for teasing.]
Xiangling: "With your great taste in food, Moonchase Festival is sure to be to your liking!"
Lumine: "Wait! Paimon has taste...? 🤣"
Musashi: "Let's agree to disagree! 🤣"
Paimon: "Hey! If you've got a problem with Paimon's taste, just spit it out! 😡"
