Sup I'm back to post this and I extended my break. I will be back on December 18, the reasons: three days long distance learning from home, 24 modules, 3 for each subject, Monday we review, Dec. 2-3 or 3-4 periodical test, we check our tests, one week practice for our thematic performance, thematic performance, and then back to normal school day like nothing ever happened

One week of them being in Sumeru (I'm lazy)

“... Are you sure that _ and _ are them?” Venti asked

They were outside of the akademiya, the moon was out and shining

Paimon nodded “Positive”

“And the reason being, why do you believe it's them?”

“They look like them, and Paimon can feel their spirits longing for each other, but they don't know” Paimon shook her head

“Hmm” She put her hand on her chin “I get your point and I agree, but do you know who her _ is? We already know their  _ but her…”

Paimon nodded “And who is it?”

“Remember _? She's her _”

Venti smirked “Looks like they are still close to each other even in _ _”

Paimon hesitated “Are you going to tell them yourself?”

Venti paused, turning to Paimon and smiling “Of course not!... Well not directly, I'm going to give them some hints so they can finally _, do you understand?”

“Paimon understands”

“Good now let's get you to bed” Paimon pouted “Paimon is not that tired though…”

“Paimon… it's almost midnight, I'll read you a bedtime story”

“... Okay”

They walked away to put Paimon to sleep

Dear readers, who do you think they are? ehe~’

Unbeknowns to them somewhere someone was spying on them

??? POV

Huh?

What do they mean by that?

—-----------------------(-_-)-------------------------

??? POV (no they are not the same)

“Anastasia”

Huh? Who's calling me?

“Anastasia” I looked up to see a woman smiling at me, but her face was blurry

‘Who are you' I wanted to say but…

“Mama!” I leaped to her arms

…What? Why did my body move on its own… is this from my past? My body is quite small, so it's a possibility…

… She feels warm, I pressed my head to her chest, earning a giggle from her “You're much more clingy than before”

“Hmm…”

She giggled again “Let's go to wake your brother up” I had a brother?... I guess that's why I felt familiar with that

Aww—

I woke up, feeling empty… why did it have to be cut off? I just want to know them…

I felt someone poke my arm, I turned to look at them, _ smiled at me “You're awake”

“...”

“Come on let's go get something to eat”

“... Ok”

— — —

Alhathaim was in his office, doing important documents (idk you think), a knock interrupted him from doing… whatever important stuff is “Come in”

Nahida came in along with the archons, Paimon and traveler and surprisingly Cyno (idk what their relationship is, ok?)

“Lord Kusanali and…. The other's, what do you need?”

“We were wondering if you want to come with us” in actuality Nahida just wants to hang out and not let them be drowned in paperwork

Alhathaim looked at Cyno “How did you manage to make him take a break?”

“...”

*Flashback*

Cyno was sitting down on a chair, his arms tied behind his back, and his mouth gagged by cloth forcing him shut up

He glared at the people who did this to him

One of them smirked at him “So… what's your answer now~?” He shook his head, they frowned

“Ahww not even your god is going to change your mind~?”

Cyno’s eyes widen ‘No!’, Nahida looked at him with pleading eyes, “What's your answer now?”

Cyno's eyes were still on Nahida who had pleading eyes, sweat forming on his face

He sighed and nodded, the person smirked “Good”

Another person smacked their head “Ow! What was that for!?”

“Barrr- Istaroth” They sighed “Why are you acting childish? When I accidentally saw your portrait years ago, you were quite serious and held power just by looking at you but now…”

“I think her act is mixed with her real personality”

“Agreed”

“Mhm!”

“Indeed”

“Yup”

Venti groaned, Nahida tugged on Venti's cape “Can we ask Alhathaim to come to the desert with us?” She asked with eyes that looked like puppies “...Doesn't he hate the desert?”

Nahida giggled “That's indeed correct and quite an ironic since…” she winked and put her index finger to her mouth

Venti blinking before smirking “So you know too, huh?”

“Thanks to Irminsul! And you paused time, didn't you?”

She didn't try to deny or confirm it and just laughed “Well then let's go to him”

— — —

The traveler, Paimon, and Alhathaim stared at them in shock

Cyno sighed before realizing what they said, Alhathaim also

“...No I'm not going”

“Wait we're going to the desert?”

Alhathaim and Cyno said at the same time, one said in confusion and the other filled determination to not go

“Yup we're going to the desert and Alhathaim you are going”

“No I'm not”

“...”

— — —

Alhathaim complained about the sand getting on his shoes, while Venti and Paimon were amused, the others just ignored it

To Be Continued
