Warnings: MAJOR simping on everyone's behalf i'm sorry, tipsy mc, CONSENT IS KEY, Leander calling your darling is warning enough, ends with Kuras being amazing <3

Pairing: All x Reader

Word Count: 870

______________________________________________________________

It's hard living like this. Never being able to feel the skin of another person, the bliss of intimacy. Always haunted by what could be. So you kept to yourself.

As everyone drank the night away and laughed and had the time of their lives in the small bar, consuming unholy amounts of watered down beer, you sat alone. Cape wrapped around your body, hood half way to hiding your face. You looked only at your drink. And everyone only looked at you.

As you sat recluse on your barstool at the very edge, five pairs of eyes bore into your back. In your bandaged hands you nursed your eighth glass of cheap whisky. Sipping the burning drink, you rested your chin on you palm. It was cold in the bar. Even wrapped up as you were, you felt the biting of cold on your cursed fingertips.

A chair was pulled out next to you, and down sat a figure. Leander was the first to make his move, unbeknownst to you. His charming grin had faded into a softer smile as he looked down at you. "Face is a bit red, isn't it? Already drunk I see?" His stupid sweet voice almost lulled you to sleep. He was whispering in what was an attempt to preserve your dignity. Not that any of his Bloodhounds cared, they were too busy focusing on a loud drinking game.

You hiccuped quietly and sat up straight, glaring at him with an uncharacteristic pout. "I am not drunk. That's absurd." He just smiled wider and takes your hand into his gloved ones. Your eyes widen as brief panic overtakes you before you remember that this might be the only man in the world capable of touching you and being perfectly fine.

His hands exude a warmth that is foreign to you, encasing your fingers and palm. "Time to retire for the night, don't you think darling?" You scowl and pull your hand away. "N-never- I-" You stand abruptly and topple over your chair. Before your beautiful face reaches for a tantalizing kiss with the floor, two strong arms catch you.

You land in an even warmer embrace. Surely, the floor would have been cold and unforgiving. Instead, Ais peers down at you with a sharp grin of his own, teeth glinting in the soft light emitting from the bar. Your eyes are wide, all alcohol purged from your system. Your face tinges red as he pulls you up, but does not let go.

Just as sudden, you are yanked out of Ais's embrace, a scorching hand on your wrist. Noting with more severe panic that your wrist is covered, you look up to see your assailant. Vere is smirking, but he does not look pleased to see your blush directed at Ais. The fox is... jealous? Just as he opens his mouth to something haughty no doubt, you are once again yanked.

You're confused, head spinning. Swearing to yourself you would never drink again, you survey the room slowly until your sleepy gaze finds your newest assailant. This time it's Mhin, and they are boring holes into Vere's skull. "Don't touch. You- you-" Seething with rage, Mhin barely has the words to express their hatred for the smirking fox.

As they engage in a staring contest with the fox, Ais and Leander watch in amusement. You are left standing there with a dumbfounded expression at the pissing contest being had. Just as you are about to slip away, a hand is placed on your shoulder. You brace yourself as you come face to face with none other than Kuras.

You let out a sigh of relief and a gentle smile appears on his face. He places his second hand onto your forehead, brushing away any hair in the way. "Are you alright? That was quite a frightful fall. You are flushed." You burn hotter as you observe the taller man. He is calm and quiet, and you feel the rest of the bar mute around you, all noises and laughing fading into the background.

There is nothing but Kuras's beaming golden eyes, gazing into your own. You exit quietly as he leads you to your room, his hand never leaving your shoulder. He opens your door and ushers you inside. You're still dazed when he gently pushes you down to sit on the bed and kneels in front of you.

All thoughts are suddenly drained out of your head as you stare down at this beautiful man, kneeling in front of you. He unlaces your boots and pulls them off, placing them neatly beside the door. As he stands back up, you fall down onto your mattress, the air leaving your lungs as Kuras walks back over to you and smiles again. He grabs your blanket and pulls it over you.

You're half asleep as he tucks you in, and you faintly feel warm fingers brushing your hair out of your face. A whispered, "Goodnight, dear.'", is all that is heard before the clicking of a door being shut. As you sleep soundly, Kuras ignores the eyes stabbing holes through him as he bids his companions goodnight and exits the bar, the smallest smile on his lips.

10k followers special

In which (Y/n) discusses potential love interests with Ace and Deuce during a sleepover.

Little do they know that practically the entire school is outside of Ramshackle, listening in on them.

Idea by anon.

You were busy setting up some snacks and pillows for the upcoming sleepover when Ace and Deuce barged into the Ramshackle dorm loudly. The ground shook as their feet stomped onto the old floor boards loudly in excitement. You looked up to find a wide grin on Ace's face.

"Today is the day, (Y/n)! Have you ever wondered what it's like to have an older brother? No matter if you already had an older brother in your own world, I consider myself your older brother now," Ace exclaimed and ruffled your hair playfully.

You furrowed your eyebrows in playful disbelief. "Really? Sometimes you act like you can't stand me, Ace."

Your words drew a soft chuckle from Deuce. "I'm sure that's how he and his brother used to treat each other."

With a mere roll of his eyes, Ace sank into the couch and made himself comfortable. "Shut up, it's just mean love." And yet his eyes glinted mischievously as he suddenly zoomed in on you. His lips were curled up into a sly grin. "Anyway, since we're having a sleepover, don't you think it's time to talk about boys, (Y/n)?"

You quirked an eyebrow at his words. "Uh... we're at an all boys school. What's there to talk about?"

"I'm sure Ace is talking crushes and what not," Deuce said with a proud smile in his lips. "As your older brothers, it is our task to prevent your heart from being broken."

"You two are adorable..." You laughed softly, shaking your head in amusement.

Ace clapped his hand in utter excitement. His hands waved you to make yourselves comfortable too before he began, "Well, alright. So, let's start with Heartslabyul! Please tell us you don't like Riddle."

"I guess he's pretty cute," you said and snickered softly.

Ace let out an exasperated sigh, further sinking into one of the pillows. "Cute? You should come over when he's angry at us."

You smiled fondly. "But he's adorable when he's angry. He gets all red and starts stammering."

"Riddle is off the table. He's our boss," Deuce agreed with his friend. "But Trey and Cater are fair game."

Your smile widened. "Cater is really funny, he always makes me laugh. And Trey, is really nice! He always gives me some of his left-over pastries."

"Hm... You should go for Trey! He'd give us some pastries, too," Ace chimed like a greedy fox.

His words drew a series of chuckles from Deuce. "You're so selfish, Ace. But I never say no to his baked goods." Then the blue-haired boy turned to you and smiled curiously. "Anyway, so what about Savanaclaw?"

Ace crossed his fingers and squeezed his eyes shut. "Please don't like Leona. Please don't like Leona," he murmured repeatedly, like a prayer.

A wistful breath escaped your lips. "He is really handsome..."

"Yeah but super mean," Deuce said sternly, a little bit of worry lacing his voice. His eyebrow quirked up in amusement too as he looked you up and down. "So you're into bad boys, (Y/n)?"

His question made you ponder for a while, but you eventually shook your head. "Hm... I don't really have a type? But I'm more into nice guys. I also think Jack is really adorable unintentionally. He's always so stoic but I know he has a good heart underneath his hard facade."

"What do you think about Ruggie? He's also pretty hard-working," Deuce murmured in admiration.

"Eh, he is kinda slimy? Always sucks up to Leona." Ace rolled his eyes in a disapproving fashion. But before you could even reply, he already had waved you off. "But anyway, let's move onto Octavinelle. Or else we'll be talking until tomorrow morning. We have classes, you know?"

A soft giggle escaped your lips, and your eyes stared off into the distance. "I think Azul's really cute with his glasses... Oh and also his mole? He's so handsome..." you began to ramble like a little child.

"You're kinda into mean guys, (Y/n)," Deuce huffed and crossed his arms in playful dismay, just like Ace. A little shiver ran down their backs at what happened not too long ago. "Did you forget what he did to us with those contracts? He worked us off like slaves!"

"But he has changed his ways, right?"

"Well, Azul is better than the Leech twins," Deuce murmured and shook his head nervously. "Jade... unnerves me. His smile never fully reaches his eyes."

"And Floyd's mood swings sometimes get really bad during basketball practice sessions."

You waved their nervous attitude off. "I do think that Jade has a mysterious charm to him. Also, Floyd is really funny whenever I'm spending time with him." A bout of laughter escaped your lips at the memory of all the shenanigans you've gotten into with the more unhinged twin.

Ace rolled his eyes at the way you talked about Floyd. "Yeah, that's because you're you and not us. We're not his shrimpy. We're just guppies." The red-head's eyes quickly lit up again as he continued, "But anyway, talking about the basketball club. What about Jamil?"

"Hm... I admire how he always works hard. I've never really seen him rest? He's always running around, doing errands for Kalim or chasing after him." A little snicker escaped your lips, and you couldn't help but admit, "Also, his hair is really pretty. I'm so jealous."

At your words, Ace eyes lit up mischievously. "Oh, you can date Kalim instead! He's very nice, nothing mean about him. And if you did date him, he'd spend a lot of money on you! And you in return can share some of your newfound gold digger money with us," he explained and rubbed his palms together like a villain.

You quickly punched his shoulder in playfuly annoyance. "Really? So that's what all of this is about?" you scoff. "You're so mean. Kalim is a genuinely nice guy who deserves someone that's not a gold digger. Maybe he is a little naive, though..."

Deuce laughed at the way his friend held his shoulder in pain. "Well, Ace is the gold digger here. If you're interested in Kalim, you should go for it, (Y/n)."

An offended gasp escaped the red-head's lips when his two friend began ganging up on him. He merely crossed his arms. "Ugh, you guys throwing insults at me reminds me of Vil and his VDC boot camp." His gaze turned more intense as he put his attention on you. "Please don't tell me you like Vil. He is like... our constantly disappointed mom. You don't wanna date your mom, right?"

You feigned to gag at his words. "Ew, you're ruining everything, Ace..."

"Vil does have very high expectations of everyone around him," Deuce chimed in. "Also, he's super famous! Your relationship would be pretty public, right?"

"I guess so." You exhale in disappointment, clutching your knees closer to your chest. "But what would Vil ever want with someone like me? He's way out of my league."

Ace's eyes turned narrow at your words. Without a warning, he grabbed you by your shoulders to shake you back and forth. "Do I need to beat some self-esteem into you, (Y/n)?"

His words actually managed to cheer you up. The sad frown on your face was soon replaced by an amused smile. "No thanks. Let's just move on." You peel Ace's hands off you and look at your two friends in excitement. "What about Rook? I love how he talks. And he's always so positive about things."

Deuce nodded along. "I like Rook's attitude, too. He never gives up once he has his sights set on something."

Still, Ace pursed his lips in worry. "Yeah, but if you look at it from a negative side — he's a stalker. I'd be careful if I were you, (Y/n). Why don't you go with Epel? He's pretty harmless."

"Epel wouldn't like to hear that," you said in amusement.

Ace broke out laughing at your words, and then he put his finger to his lips in a secretive fashion. "That guy couldn't harm a fly."

You waved him off. "I don't know about that. He can be very feisty at times, but his outbursts are always hilarious, anyway. Also, I think his accent is cute." Your voice drifts off as your eyes turn dreamy. You were staring off into the distance when you trailed off, "Do you know who else is cute?"

"Octavinelle Student C?" Deuce asked curiously.

You laughed softly at his words. "Yeah, him too. But I was actually talking about Idia." A little snicker escaped your lips, and you leaned backwards to sink into a large pillow. Your eyes stared up at the dusty ceiling. "He's so mysterious."

"You have some strange tastes, (Y/n)." Ace rolled his eyes again, even nudging your shoulder to get you out of your trance. "That guy is super weird. Always a shut-in and when the rare occasion arises where he socialises with people, he's always rude."

"Maybe there is more behind him after all," Deuce said in amusement.

"The next thing you tell us is that you're into Malleus. Please don't tell me you're into that scary fae."

Another series of chuckles escaped your lips at Ace's desperate question. The exasperation in his eyes somehow brought you great amusement. "I mean, Malleus and I get along really well. I like spending time with him," you explained with a fond smile on your face. "Some evenings, I stay awake and hope that he appears with his fireflies like he always does. It's the only thing keeping me sane when I can't sleep because of Grim's snoring."

"If you like mysterious people, you're at the right place with Diasomnia. You must like Lilia and Silver, huh?" Deuce asked, his eyes shining knowingly.

You finally sat up, nodding. "I'm really curious about Lilia, actually. But he never tells much about himself. He is really funny, though! He's got the best dad jokes," you replied in amusement. "And as for Silver, I do wish I could have spent more time with him? But he's always asleep, so I haven't had much of an opportunity to talk to him yet."

"Silver should try looking into this invention called 'caffeine'," Ace joked and laughed.

Deuce merely rolled his eyes at the banter. "Don't be so harsh. I don't think his sleepiness will be fixed if he chugs litres of coffee, Ace."

"Also, talking about Diasomnia, I do have a soft spot for Sebek," you murmured under your breath, suddenly shy. "I think his hard-working attitude and his determination when it comes to protecting his dorm leader are admirable. I know he yells a lot, but it is pretty cute when he gets angry."

"Oh, so you're into angry guys— got it. Angry and mysterious," Ace teased you.

Deuce continued to look at you with the utmost of curiosity. "No really, (Y/n). What's your type?"

You couldn't help but snicker at their expectant gazes. Your sly snickering filled the room. "You'll never know~"

While the three of you were chatting away in front of the cosy fireplace, a horde of students — practically the whole school — had amassed in front of the fogged-up windows to Ramshackle's living room. Through a miracle and an incredible amount of discipline, the crowd had managed to stay silent while listening in on you and your discussion about them.

But now that most of them had heard your opinion on them, all hell broke loose amongst them.

The darkness of the night was almost illuminated by Riddle's red face. The sight drew an angry huff from him. "(Y/n) was exaggerating when saying that I always turn red when I get angry! The audacity! I should have the prefect beheaded." He was seething angrily as he watched his two first-years laugh along with you. "And Spade and Trappola talking badly behind my back... Those two deserve to be beheaded, as well."

"But didn't (Y/n) mean it as a compliment? To insinuate that you are cute. That's definitely something positive," Trey said in amusement. And indeed, the soothing words of his vice dorm leader actually managed to calm the red-head down. "And I guess I should defend Ace and Deuce here. They put forth a recommendation for me, after all."

Cater laughed along. "Yeah! Ace and Deuce are pretty sweet, aren't they? I'm glad they've recognised my charm. I'm just sad I can't post any of this to MagiCam... We wouldn't want to blow our cover, eh? Not sure how long until they'll find out. It's like the whole school is here at Ramshackle right now." And he was right, next to the three Heartslabyul students stood a group of Savanaclaw members.

A deep and satisfied chuckle escaped Leona's lips. His green eyes glinted smugly. "I'm handsome, did you hear that, Ruggie?"

"Of course you are! But the prefect also acknowledged that you're mean," Ruggie retorted and began laughing. His signature snickers echoed through the night.

Jack laughed heartily at Ruggie's sudden sass. An amused smile graced the wolf beastman's usually so stern face. "So maybe you're not much of a suck-up after all, Ruggie." He patted the hyena on the shoulder, the force of it almost sending the second-year falling forward. "As for me, I should return to my room now... I shouldn't stay up this late."

Leona started laughing again, a mocking tone to his words. "I guess the herbivore was right about you being a good boy, Jackie," he teased before the rest of the Savanaclaw students returned to their dorm.

"I also didn't know that land-dwellers tend to think of me as mysterious. What a fascinating thing to know," Jade commented and chuckled softly.

A group of Octavinelle students rushed to the first row seats by the windows. "Heh, (Y/n) also thinks I'm handsome!" Azul chimed happily, his eyes as bright as the moon in the night sky. His usually so smug face spoke of pure contentedness. "I never knew that my glasses not only made me appear more intelligent, but also more attractive! The more things you know."

Floyd laughed along. His nerves got the best of him, and he began swaying back and forth in excitement. "Aww, Shrimpy is so cute! I always have the time of my life too around Shrimpy." Though suddenly, the happy smile on his face was replaced by an eerie scowl. The air around him shifted, much to the fear of the students around him. "But the next time I see Crabby at the basketball club, I'm gonna throw him into the bleachers for badmouthing me like that! He totally exaggerates my mood-swings!"

The threatening aura that the eel exuded caused Jamil to take a step away, just to make sure. A soft smile graced his lips as he turned to his dorm leader. "Oh, I never knew the prefect liked my hair. That's nice to know..." he said with a little smile on his face. His lips quirked up further, even when he tried to suppress the satisfaction that your compliment brought him.

Kalim nodded along eagerly. "Oh, (Y/n) is such a nice person! Always looking out for me." A smile blossomed on his face, and he immediately announced, "A gift for the prefect is in order. I have a few gold coins lying around in the treasure room, anyway."

As Kalim grabbed Jamil and ran off to the Scarabia dorm, the three Pomefiore students were allowed a better look through the window. A distasteful frown decorated Vil's fair face, and it caused a few wrinkles. "Tsk, Ace hasn't changed ever since the VDC training. He still lacks the discipline to work hard on his own," Vil said and scoffed. "If he hadn't been so lazy, I wouldn't have needed to take such drastic measures. Isn't he old enough to use a cleanser and moisturiser by now?"

"Spoken like a real mama bird," Epel mocked and began laughing heartily. "I guess they were right, eh?"

The first-year's words caused Vil's left eye to twitch. "Never say that again, or else you're grounded, Epel."

"Fine, I'm in a good mood today," Epel replied and giggled along, an innocent smile gracing his lips. His eyes closed cutely. "You heard that (Y/n) likes ma accent? This made ma day!"

Rook took barely any notice of his two fellow dorm members arguing. His fox-like eyes were trained at the three first-years in the Ramshackle dorm. He watched you like a hawk. "Oh, watching other people is always so fascinating. And you learn all sorts of interesting things," Rook exclaimed and clutched his heart dramatically. He sank onto the windowsill. "I am positively in shock right now! Who knew the prefect had such lovely things to say about me?"

Away from the crowd by the windows, Ortho floated around his older brother. An absolute expression of ecstasy decorated his face. "Idia, did you hear that?! The prefect likes you!"

The Ignihyde dorm leader blinked softly. "Is this a dream, Ortho? Pinch me," he murmured quietly, yet he let out a loud shriek when his brother did as he asked. Idia rubbed his arm in discomfort. "Ouch! You didn't have to pinch me that hard! Ugh... I just hope you didn't break my arm."

His scream briefly occupied Lilia's attention, but the ancient fae quickly turned to his dorm leader again. A mischievous grin decorated his face as Lilia floated up to pat the dragon fae's head. "I didn't know you and (Y/n) were best friends, Malleus," he teased and stuck his tongue out at him.

An amused smile graced Malleus' lips. "Well, and I don't know what these supposed dad jokes of yours are." He shrugged, then his amusement turned into genuine fondness. His usually so stoic eyes softened, and his heart skipped a beat. "Anyway, I do appreciate the nightly walks when they do happen. Now that I know how the child of man waits for me on some evenings, I shall appear more often. I wouldn't want to make my friend sad now, would I?"

Sebek jumped between the two, an excited grin on his face. Despite it being in the middle of the night, the first-year was still full of energy. "I shall tell Silver of what has transpired tonight! He must be sound asleep in his bed right now," Sebek yelled at the top of his lungs. A giddy smile broke out on his face as he rushed off into the distance. "Finally, someone appreciates all the hard work I put into protecting the young master. Perhaps humans aren't as bad as I thought if the prefect is so considerate."

Lilia chuckled softly. "If Ace, Deuce, and (Y/n) haven't heard us by some miracle, Sebek's voice must have alerted them just now..."

“WELCOME TO COTEA CAFE!”

Note:

Ciaoooo! I don't know if you can consider this as a sagau, but this idea have been stuck in my mind for a month so I decided to just write it!

—› I DON'T POST IN ANY PLATFORM EXCEPT IN THIS ONE!

Sypnosis:

The travelers, Aether and paimon, have stumbled upon a teahouse— a cafe, as the owner hastily corrected him, he visited everyday just to taste your delicious dish and pastries, the owner's cooking and baking skills are out of the world (literally) which is why, they wanted their friends to taste your dishes as well!

Genshin characters x fem!reader.

Part: one, two, three, four, five

"Paimon is so tired and hungry!" The floating companion of the outlander exclaimed, her floating pattern broke into a zigzag to emphasize her current feelings.

Aether shook his head, he is used to paimon's dramatic antics so he didn't pay any mind to his companion and continued walking down the path towards sumeru, they used one of the waypoints on Qingxu pool to avoid the fatuis and lurking enemies.

The path they are following seem to be on the far south of the Qingxu pool, the view from their spot is beautiful and it captures the magnificent scenery of the pool, soon, they passed by an abandoned treasure hoarders' camp.

"Huh? The path vanished!" Paimon exclaimed, her head whipping from left to right as she look around where the path would lead to.

Aether kept quiet and continued walking ahead, exhausted from paimon's antics, but he didn't bother saying anything to avoid offending his little companion's feeling. He let out a sigh under his breath, the travel between the nation of freedom and wisdom is tiring.

Additionally, the waypoints had been acting weird for the past few weeks, it won't let him teleport to the nation's city which is why, he doesn't have a choice but to walk from the border of Liyue to Sumeru.

Each nation had been busy with their own affairs according to the sighting of the divine creator, he's the very first vessel so he could at least tell if the creator did come back to teyvat BUT he didn't feel anything which he came into his own conclusion that a rumor must have been spread by someone to throw the archons into frenzy.

"Aren't you hungry, aether? Why don't we take a break? I can tell that you're also exhausted." Paimon pointed out, but did he listen? Of course not, due to the rumor spreading around about the divine creator, the archons asked for his assistance to venture out.

Besides, he needs to deliver the package he has right now so there's no time for breaks—

What's.. With this sweet fragrance? Aether stopped in his tracks when his nostrils caught an unfamiliar scent of food, his head turned to the right where the smell came from. He didn't know why, but his own feet dragged him towards the direction.

It seems like he wasn't the only one who can smell it, his precious compamion is already flying towards the source of smell and seeing this, it made him let out a scoff under his breath. He kept his eyes on his floating companion as they both went up the hill, they walked up, higher and higher until they can see a... Cottage?

A cottage under a cliff?

What?

Questions swirled inside of the traveler's head, the cottage is three story high? Wait, no, it's probably two, it's space almost taken almost all the space under the cliff which made him anxious.

What if the rocks collapse and fall onto the abode infront of him? It's not safe to build anything under a cliff, but surely, the owner thinks otherwise.

"Aether! Aether! Look!" Paimon called out, waving her right hand towards the mentioned man while her left hand is pointing towards the cottage that he had just saw, "Something smell good is coming over there! Why don't we take a look?"

The traveler opened his mouth, but got startled when he heard a soft voice from behind him.

"Are you guys hungry?" The voice sounded so gentle, a little deep, but sounded feminine nonetheless— it was weird though, he can feel goosebumps across his back up to his spine.

He slowly turned his head to look at the owner of the voice, the presence of the said person doesn't make him uncomfortable, but it makes him want to kneel and apologize for his behaviour.

The reason for that? He doesn't know why.

"Hmm, if you don't hurry up, you might pass out from the heat and fatigued." You informed Aether, your smile slightly forced due to the excitement building up inside of you. The twin of your chosen traveler is right in front of you! Why won't you get excited?

"Woah! Paimon thinks you're beautiful!" A sudden compliment came from the floating companion, snapping Aether from his inner turmoil.

He cleared his throat and moved aside to let you go first, his eyes landed on the two baskets you're carrying from both hands and he silently asked to help you.

"I can do it." You smiled at him and walked passed the astonished male, the heel of your boots made a noise against the cobblestone stairs of your cafe, "Please come inside, I'll serve you two some delicacies and drinks."

Reluctantly, the traveler followed you inside of the cottage, paimon's amazed gasped made you smile wider.

"How'd you like the place? Is it comfortable?" You inquired, you placed the basket on the counter and took two menus under the counter before gesturing for them to take a seat.

"It's amazing! It's really cozy and the smell.. It's sweet!" Paimon answered you, not minding if Aether has been quiet the whole time, "And what's that? What is this place?"

"This, is the menu." You said as you gave her the menu and slid the other menu towards Aether, "This place is my cafe." You stated with open arms, seemingly proud of your beloved abode.

"Do you have anyone working for you?" Aether finally spoke up, his eyes scanning the menu on his hand.

"The answer to that is, no." You hummed, taking note that he seem quite suspicious and cautious of you— you understand though, you would also be suspicious of a place that is located under a cliff on the border of a nation.

You just happen to be lucky and unlucky at the same time.

"I see.." He didn't say anything after that, opting to scan through the menu on a food he would like to eat, "Uh, how do you pronounce this?" He pointed at the specialized dish on the paper.

"Adobo." You uttered, your eyes staring straight into the different kinds of cooked food under the mentioned dish.

"Adobo?" Paimon repeated after you, "Then is this pronounced as manok?" She pointed the word next and you nodded your head, happy that they can pronounce some words from your world quite easily.

"Oooh! Then I want the adobo manok!" The floating companion stated, her pronunciation messing up a little bit due to the foreign sound of the word.

"It's adobong manok, miss." You corrected gently, "What about you, traveler?"

"I'll go with what paimon ordered as well." He sweatdropped, scratching the back of his head as he handed the menu back to you, somehow, he did not want to embarrass himself in front of you.

He doesn't know why though.

"Two adobong manok it is, what about the drink?"

"Paimon wants anything you'd recommend!" Came a cheerful reply, the traveler nodded his head, not wanting to speak any further to avoid stuttering and messing up.

"As you wish."

A couple of days had passed ever since Aether and Paimon had stopped by your cafe, the two of them liked your cooking from your previous world so they kept stopping by your cafe every single day to taste different kind of dish which made you happy and enthusiastic.

Your little cafe didn't get much customer just as you had expected, a couple of non-playable character had visited to buy some food or they are just curious, some even just accidentally found your humble cafe, you are more than satisfied that you're still receiving customers, besides, it's not like you're anticipating for one of the playable citizens from each nations to visit your shop anyways.

The sound of bell ringing from the front had brought you out of your thoughts, it indicated that a customer had walked in.

"I'll be there in a second!" You called out from the kitchen using the element of anemo to carry the sound of your voice towards the customers, the element of hydro is used to fill up the kettle with water and you used the element of pyro to light up the charcoals before placing the kettle above the fire.

You made sure to wash your hand with hydro particles that are floating around the kitchen before scurrying out of the room, you quickly closed the door behind you as you stepped out.

"Miss (name)!" The high-pitched voice that belongs to paimon had called out for you, "We brought some friends!"

You chuckled and grabbed five menus under the counter and approached the group of your beloved customers, although, your smile almost dropped when you saw the anemo and geo archon sitting across each other with the dendro archon and the traveler sitting across each other as well.

What the hell are they doing here?!

You might not have expect the citizens of cities to visit your shop.. Then you certainly did NOT expect for their archons to visit your small and humble cafe.
