"Ying~ your clothes... Huh? She fell asleep? Was it you, you rascal?!"
"Don't you dare blame me, the Traveler just said she was still a bit sleepy and wanted to rest a little longer." (Heh... just in time...)
"Really?"
"Really, really, I swear!"
"Sigh... Before sleeping, you should at least change your wet clothes... Do you hear me?! I'm going to change Ying's clothes, get out quickly!"
"Got it, got it, tsk... always bossing me around." (The amount of knockout medicine isn't much, the Traveler should wake up soon... I hope that guy didn't lie to me...)
A while later...
"Yo~ You're finally back, Sister Traveler... Oh my~ Who's this behind you?"
"Hello, my name is Barbara."
"Don't mind her, Barbara, we can just go up directly."
"Huh? Is that so?"
"Hey, hey, hey, is that necessary? Be careful, I'll tell the Traveler about you!"
"Heh heh... tell her whatever you want, I'm waiting!"
"You!"
"Let's go, Barbara."
"Oh, oh."
"Tsk... you'll regret this later..."
"I'm back."
"Ah~ Ying, you're finally back."
"Mhm, why is Ying asleep?"
"Well... there's quite a story, let me organize my thoughts first."
"Okay, Miss Barbara, don't worry about us, go ahead and treat Ying."
"Alright."
"I've organized my thoughts~ It's like this..."
Paimon recounted the events of the past period to the Traveler...
"Strange... what is this guy planning..."
"Phew... Treatment complete, I'll be going now."
"Mhm, goodbye Miss Barbara, we should wake Ying up too. If we don't, breakfast will get cold!"
Paimon: "Okay, Ying~ Wake up!"
"Mmm... Good morning... *yawn* ￣﹏￣"
"Time to eat, it's the Windblume Festival today!"
"Windblume Festival... What festival is that?"
"Huh? Didn't the Traveler tell you?"
"No."
"Mhm, I only told her about this festival, I originally wanted to see if Ying could remember it herself... but it seems that failed..."
"Heh heh~ Let's eat first, by the way, where is that person named K______? Let him join us too."
Traveler: "What do you want him for? This is for you."
Paimon: "Exactly, exactly, that guy doesn't look like a good person at all."
"Huh? Really? I feel he's quite nice, and isn't he my boyf— *muffled*?!"
"Don't you dare say that, didn't I just warn you before I left to be wary of him?"
"Mmm, it's fine... *puff* It's fine, I think he's quite nice, you two should get along well." Ying said, taking a bite of the bun in her hand.
Paimon: "Ying, did you get silly from sleeping? Why are you suddenly so biased towards him?"
"Do I? I feel it's normal, he saved me and gave me food, he thinks of me when anything happens and even gives me water to drink. He's a good person no matter how you look at it, right?"
"Don't you suspect that he made up those stories? You're so much stronger than him, how could you be protected by him? It's more like he's being protected by you."
"Don't worry, he definitely won't lie to me."
"Then why are you so sure?"
"I don't know, I just have a feeling he won't lie to me."
"This... Traveler, why do I feel like Ying has no defense against him after waking up... it wasn't like this just now..."
"Mhm... No?! That guy must have used some unknown methods on Ying while I was away... I'm going to settle the score with him!"
"But is it really feasible to just go find him without any evidence..."
"If I don't beat him up, I won't be able to swallow this! And if this continues, Ying will definitely be tricked away by that scoundrel!"
"Huh?! Sister, don't be like that, things probably aren't as serious as you think..."
"Ying! Do you believe me or him?!"
"I... I believe both..."
"You can only choose one!"
"I... I believe... believe n— Ah?! It hurts... my head hurts so much... ≥﹏≤"
Paimon: "Ying?! What's wrong?! Traveler, don't pressure her anymore."
"I... I'm sorry..."
"It's okay... it's my own problem... You two should go out for now... Let me be alone for a while..." Ying said painfully, rubbing her still aching head.
"But..."
Paimon: "Shh! Okay... We understand..." Paimon comforted Ying and then pulled the Traveler out...
Traveler: "Paimon! What are you looking at me for?!"
Paimon: "Let Ying calm down by herself for a while, her emotions were very unstable just now."
"Damn it... it must be that guy's doing... I'm going to make him spit out the truth right now!"
"Hey?! Traveler, wait for me..."
The Traveler angrily ran to the doorway...
"Tsk... I don't know what the situation is upstairs... I don't know if what that guy gave me is reliable... If it turns out to be a lie, it'll be hard to explain..."
"You scoundrel!"
"Yo? Isn't this Sister Traveler? What? Has my beloved Traveler woken up... [*Pfft?!*]"
The Traveler didn't reply and directly delivered a side kick to K*r*m*sm*s, sending him crashing into the wall.
"You're trying to kill me..."
"What exactly did you do to Ying?!"
"Heh... What are you talking about? I don't understand." (This reaction... it seems that guy didn't lie to me...)
"Still playing dumb with me?! Ying's personality changed after waking up, dare you say it wasn't your doing?!"
"Heh, what? Are you jealous because Ying cares about me too much after waking up and you feel like you misunderstood me, so you've come looking for trouble?"
"Do you really want to die?!"
"Traveler! Calm down! Ying is like this now, if you really kill him, she might resent you!"
"Did you hear that! Your pet is more sensible than you!"
"Who are you calling a pet!"
"Heh, whoever answered is the one! Alright, I don't have time to waste here with you guys~ Since my Traveler is awake, I need to go up and see her quickly~"
"You stop right there!"
"What is it now? It's normal for me to care about my girlfriend, right? You're such a meddlesome sister (﹁"﹁)"
"Phew... Ying wants to be alone right now, you stay put, otherwise, even if she hates me, I'll kill you!"
"You?! Fine... consider yourself lucky..."
