The three of them lay on the beach for a long time, until dusk fell.
In such weather, lying on the beach with a cool sea breeze blowing, Lumine and Paimon both felt drowsy.
Yunling was right next to Paimon, poking Paimon's bulging little belly with her index finger.
Paimon was small and adorable; she loved holding her.
She often held her in Mondstadt, but in Liyue, due to her persona, she couldn't do that. They weren't too familiar yet, but in a while, she would definitely hug her tightly!
"Paimon, why do you look so small, yet you can eat so much?"
Paimon didn't want to move while lying down, so she just lay there and said, "Paimon has two stomachs, one for meals, and one for delicious treats!"
Two?
But Paimon's portion was clearly more than two people's worth?
Seeing Paimon's little eyes about to close, Yunling gently shook her small body.
"Get up, Paimon, I'll take you two off Ritou, and then you can sleep at my place."
Paimon rubbed her eyes, slowly floated up, and yawned.
She wasn't that sleepy originally, but it was just too comfortable lying there, and she almost fell asleep without realizing it.
The three of them stood up. Since their belongings were already packed, they could leave immediately.
"Follow me."
Leading Lumine and Paimon, Yunling arrived at the edge of Ritou.
"Stop, please show your Ritou permit. Oh, it's Little Boss Yun..."
Indeed, whether it was day or night, the guards had Ritou tightly sealed off.
The originally stern guard's attitude immediately changed upon seeing Yunling, and his tone softened.
Did they not know the value of a chef who could make rule-breaking delicacies?
Yunling took out a token from her hand: "Look, this is Lady Kujou Sara's token, a great general under the Shogun. She wants me to bring these two to the Tenryou Commission."
The guard took the token; it was indeed Lady Kujou Sara's, but...
They were stationed here under the orders of the Kanjou Commission Head. If anything went wrong, they couldn't bear the responsibility.
Seeing their hesitation, Yunling took out two pieces of paper from her embrace.
On them were drawings of her signature greatsword and her portrait.
"Here, with this token, you can come find me for a delicious meal."
The two guards exchanged glances, clearly tempted.
That was a meal made by Little Boss Yun! They had bought one and tasted it once, and they could never forget it.
And Little Boss Yun said it wouldn't just be one simple dish, but a whole meal!
Darn it, why was it so tempting?
But...
Yunling became impatient and took out her super greatsword.
The two guards immediately changed their expressions, simultaneously stepping back and making way.
"Little Boss Yun, please—"
Clearly, they chickened out.
It was well-known that Yunling was not only famous for her cooking in Inazuma, but even more so for being a bit violent.
Yet, she wasn't being unreasonable, and she had connections above...
Yunling: "..."
Why couldn't they have done that earlier?
After giving the two "tokens" to the guards, Yunling said, "Only valid for seven days, it expires after seven days."
"Don't worry, Little Boss, we'll go tomorrow or the day after."
Yunling put away her greatsword and looked back at Lumine and Paimon.
"Let's go, Lumine, and Paimon!"
Lumine and Paimon quickly followed. After they were far from the guards, Paimon couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Yunling, that greatsword of yours just now was so cool! What's its name?!"
Yunling took out the greatsword again: "Paimon, you have good taste. This was forged by melting down three greatswords. Its name is 'Whatever'."
"Eh, Whatever?"
"Mhm-mhm. The blacksmith asked me to name it, and I just said it casually. He actually engraved those two words on it. But 'Whatever, whatever', it's pretty good."
Paimon looked at the greatsword, which was even taller than Yunling, wondering how Yunling could even lift it.
Lumine walked alongside Yunling and asked again, "Yunling, are we going to your home?"
"Of course."
"Is it convenient?"
Yunling paused, then slapped her forehead: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I actually live with my older sister. There are two beds there. When we get there, my sister and I will sleep together, and you and Paimon can sleep together."
Lumine lowered her head: "Thank you so much, Yunling. Paimon and I are new here, and thanks to you, you've gotten us delicious food and found us a place to sleep."
Yunling chuckled: "As the saying goes, at home, you rely on your parents; when you're out, you rely on your friends. Our meeting like this might be fate's arrangement."
After taking Lumine and Paimon home, unexpectedly, her second sister wasn't there!
Had something changed on the eldest sister's side again, or had her second sister gone home?
Never mind, anyway, if she had something, her second sister would be fine.
Yunling led Lumine and Paimon to the bed and said, "Have a good night's sleep. Tomorrow morning, I'll make you something delicious, I guarantee you'll love it. After you eat, then you can go do your own things."
Paimon wanted to give Yunling Mora, but she was firmly refused.
I, Yunling, treat you as friends. Do I need to charge Mora to help friends?
So little Paimon still had money? Had the Mora given by Ruola not been spent yet?

Livestream room.
Guojia's plot reached this point. As the screen displayed: You and Paimon slowly fell asleep, having a very sweet dream, the screen turned black.
"This storyline is so heartwarming. Helpless in a foreign land, we suddenly received the purest kindness from a stranger..."
Guojia was very glad that she had listened to the bullet comments earlier and gone to the beach. Otherwise, she would have missed this part of the story.
When did mhy start doing this kind of dual-main storyline? They didn't even notify or hint at it.
She had just gone to see what the normal storyline was like, and she could only say, there was no damage without comparison.
Compared to Yunling's selfless help, although Hiiragi Chisato was also helping them, it always came with conditions.
And Guojia felt that Thoma also seemed to be setting them up; it was as if they had been led by the nose ever since they arrived in Inazuma.
Only Yunling, the adorable little chef Yunling, was guileless and good to her and Paimon.
The bullet comments were also evaluating the new character that appeared.
:"Why isn't the baby wearing shoes? Doesn't it hurt his feet?"
:"See, see, this is the value of the representative character in the Footsteps PV!"
:"The one upstairs, I advise you to mind your own business. If my wife's feet get dirty, I'll clean them for her."
:"You people, really, you call anyone pretty your wife, huh?"
:"Speaking of which, isn't that greatsword a bit too exaggeratedly large? How can Yunling, with such a small build, lift it?"
:"I announce that I'm saving Primogems for her!"
:"My Primogems are for Qingge. Maybe I can open a sub-account to save for Yunling!"
Guojia looked at the bullet comments and thought: Whether it was Qingge or Yunling, and that other girl in the PV, she wanted them all!
