Sen here again! This chapter, Aether spends time with a certain tsundere. Also, we have a look into how Hu Tao is doing.
On other news, I am in trouble. Xilonen is coming soon and she's looking better and better gameplay wise. She's also running with Chiori who I am considering pulling just because I already have her weapon. Pulled it instead of Otto's weapon because I wanted it for Noelle.
If that wasn't enough, Hu Tao is coming in in part 2! Man, this is gonna be rough for me. Good luck to anyone pulling for them. Plus side, got Raiden's weapon so The Catch is staying with Xiangling.
Anyways, here's the chapter!
Last time...
"AAAAAAAAAHH!!!"
And now....
"AAAAAAAAAHH!!!"
"Uh, Keqing?" Paimon asked as she screamed.
"Give her a minute," Huanshan told her.
One minute later...
She stopped and caught her breath.
"A-Ahem! Aether! It's good to see you! I was wondering when you would show up!" Keqing said loudly and with a blush on her face.
"...roll with it," Aether said in his head. "S-Sorry for taking so long. I'm here now and ready to spend it with you two."
Keqing looked away bashfully before smiling, "Thanks."
"Papa!!" Huanshan ran up to Aether and jumped up to hug him.
"Woah! Hey there!"
"So, what's your name, little girl?" Paimon asked her.
"Huanshan!" she answered her with a smile.
Then Paimon took notice of the odd cat ears on the girl.
"Hey, she isn't like adopted, is she?"
"Paimon!" Aether yelled.
"What?!"
Huanshan chuckled and removed the cat ears. They were actually attached to a small headband that could fit on her head.
"They aren't real cat ears. I'm a human."
"Wait, then why do you wear them?" Aether asked.
Huanshan blushed in embarrassment, "I... still can't do my hair like Mom's so I wear these whenever I mess up my hair."
"I was stunned hearing this for the first time too. I didn't realize that my hair looked that much like cat ears," Keqing admitted.
"Paimon thought so at first but the style suits you, right Traveler?"
Aether nodded, "Mhm. I like it."
Keqing blushed and Huanshan smiled at her, "See? I told you Papa would like it!"
"So, what were you two doing before we got here?" Aether asked them.
"You know, just normal work. Can't be too lax in this line of work," Keqing stated as a matter of factly.
Huanshan sweatdropped, "Mama was actually waiting for you while admiring her limited edition Rex Lapis figurines."
"H-Huanshan!!"
"What? It's the truth? You even dusted the statue celebrating Rex Lapis' 3241st anniversary. You always said that one was your favorite. Not to mention looking at the Rex Lapis Genius Invocation TCG cards you have."
Keqing stammered before turning back to see a smug Paimon smirking at her.
"So, you were saying you weren't crazy for Rex Lapis?"
