"Fuh! Paimon is beat! Who knows that the road to the castle is actually that long..."

"But this room is quite nice, didn't you think so, Paimon?"

"Any room with a bed is already good enough for Paimon."

I giggle hearing that comment. Not that she can blame Paimon but it's true. They constantly sleep in the wilderness that even one bed is enough for us to enjoy a good night's sleep.

Knock! Knock!

"Hm? Who is that?"

"Excuse me..." Someone then opening the door of our room before finally step in.

"You are...?"

"Greetings, the honorary Knight from Mondstat and hero of Liyue. My name is Marie and are assigned to be your maid for as long as you stay." She said politely with a slight bow.

"Oh~ Another version of Noelle." Whisper Paimon.

"Then we are on your care," I said to her.

"Did you already take a bath?" She asks me.

"No... we not."

"Leave it to me!" With that, she dash to what I presume bathroom and a sound of running water soon can be heard. I and Paimon are enjoying that bath very much that even we almost fall asleep. Marie not only preparing a bath but also our cloth together with some snack on the table with a note 'please enjoy yourself'. After all of that activities by the time, we reach a bed the dream overtakes us.

(Next Morning)

"Good morning, young Lady~" light from the window slowly woke me up.

"Marie?"

"Yes, it's me. Now come on, hurry up. You both need to take a bath and dress up."

"What with the occasion?" Ask Paimon groggily still trying to wake up.

"You will have a breakfast together with Lord Leif~"

"Huh?!"

Okay. This morning cannot be any worse, right? That young man is already wake up and waiting for us at the table with a charming smile.

"How you sleep? I do hope is enjoyable?"

"It is before Marie wake us up and telling us that you want to eat breakfast together! Paimon thought you suppose to dine with the King?"

"I want to dine together with the King but because of my job to 'look' after you, my precious time with King is been snatch," Leif said with crocodile tears.

"Anyway, that is not why I'm here."

"As I thought, you here for a business."

"Indeed, my lady. I didn't have time to chitty chat with anyone except for my King. Now, I want to give you some information."

"....What Information?"

"You on a lucky day because today is the 'Red Moon Festival'. And by the graciousness of the King, you shall participate in that."

"What the heck is Red Moon Festival?!"

"Oh is just an ordinary festival where you need to compete with another demon and in the final, you going to compete with one of the sins. If you manage to impress the King, you can be granted an audience with the king even asking your wish to be fulfilled by the King."

"Hold up! By the term compete did you mean..."

"Bow shooting, swimming with a shark close by or running for your life because not only a monster will target you but also a demon contestant. Pretty normal competition for me." Leif said with a smile as Paimon jaw drop.

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF NORMAL FOR YOU?!" Paimon snap.

"Oh! And the competition will start in 3 hours so better you prepare~."

"FOR THE SAKE OF WINE! I SWEAR I GET YOUR HEAD ONE DAY, LEIF!" Yep, Paimon is definitely broken. He mentions a wish granted if that means... Information about my brother too? I have to win this!
