Surprise~ Why so shock? I'm back early this time. I already decide to focus on this story for a while.

There few announcement again like usual:

1. The vision official name will be Stygian Vision.

2. Few of you maybe confused at this but Lumine still didn't now The Demon Archon name so she usually refer to her as your majesty, etc.

That's all I guees? The OC option still open. If you have n OC that want go be used, don't be afraid to send it to me~ I didn't bite. Maybe Sven but not me.

Now into the story~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Fyuh... That ends well. Next time, if you want to do some suicide mission do it yourself! Paimon is still young to die. You owe Paimon a lot of food!"

I sheepishly laugh. "Sorry, Paimon... I'm just really desperate."

"... You are really hopeless. Come on! Paimon is really hungry. We can use a little time to explore the market." I nod at Paimon's word.

The market is really live to his expectation. Is so beautiful in here. I can see demons of any kind just walking and talking around.

"Lumine, look! Oh! This accessory is very pretty!" Paimon points at one shop that sells jewelry. I look at the window case and cannot help but be amazed. Jewelry with any kind of stone is being put on display. Paimon has already get distracted by the smell of the food.

"Lumine, hurry up!" She shouts.

BRAK!

"Ouch..."

"Ow..."

When I want to run to Paimon, I collide with someone. I look up and can see a child with blonde hair and brown in the tip staring at me with her hand rubbing her back.

"I'm very sorry! Are you okay?" I help the child to get up.

"I'm okay but my food..." She let a sad whimper look at her food with glossy eyes.

"Ah! Please don't cry! I-I will buy you another one!" I told her franticly even give her my handkerchief. Her eyes look happy and she beams at me.

'T-To Cute!'

"Really? Thank you, miss" I take her hand and led her to one of the food stalls Paimon has been waiting.

"What takes you so long?" She looks at me and at the child.

"Eh... Long story but I feel bad causing this girl's food to be wasted so I offer to buy her another one." I explain it shortly. Paimon look skeptical but didn't protest too much. After ordering our food, we find one table nearby and sit there.

"So what is your name?" I ask her.

"My name is Rin. Nice to meet you, miss heroine."

"Heroin?" Paimon looks confused.

"Yep. I saw your heroic action earlier in the arena. Must I say, miss, you are so brave to even negotiate with the Archon~ Usually the contestant will immediately choose their opponent without speaking too much with King of Demon" She explains it to me? I can only laugh awkwardly.

"Hmph! Yeah, and almost cost our head to fly! Thank the Celestia, that didn't happen."

Rin only laughs at Paimon comment. Soon our food arrives and we kinda enjoy it ourselves but there was a problem when we need to pay.

"Huh?! What did you mean? Our Mora is gone?!" Paimon screech. I try to search for the bag of Mora that I always bring in my pocket but can't find it.

"Oh no! What should we do?!"

"I can help this time." Rin smile innocently.

"W-what? We cannot let you pay for it!" I tell her no. She just glances at the annoyed waitress that looks at us. I sweatdrop at this and with a heavy heart, I nod. Rin pulling some bags and start to pay for our food. I cannot even look at Rin's face because of embarrassed.

"Hey... Isn't that our bag?!" Paimon points at the bag in Rin's hand. I can see a similar pattern in the bag and gasp.

"What's wrong?" Rin asks innocently.

"Hey! Is that our bag in your hand?!" Paimon said. Somehow Rin expression change to a playful one.

"Heh~ I didn't your name in here?" She replies with a smirk. Why did an 8 years old girl feel so intimidated?

"That is our pattern in the bag! Is this a real you?! A thief?"

"... Took you long enough. And I only take it from the ground earlier so I didn't steal anything." She answers cooly.

"You cannot do that! Lumine!"

"Rin... Can you give that back to us?" I ask her nicely.

"Let me think.... No." She shook her head.

"Agh! That is our last bag of Mora! That's it. Paimon called the security." Paimon exclaims but the child only frowns.

"Do that and you never see this money ever again." This shut Paimon up.

"What did you want?" I carefully ask her. Rin smile hearing my question.

"How about we make a contract?" She said with a big smile.

"... A contract?"

"Yep. You have been to the city of Liyue, right? I kinda need something for you. So how about we make a contract? I give this money back in exchange for something." She said with a glint of smugness in her eyes.

"... What is that?"

"Nothing much. I need your help to get me inside the party later and let me meet with Demon Archon, Your highness Camilla."

"Pst... Paimon who is Camilla?"

"Camilla is the official name for the Demon Archon. She is called King Camilla in here." Paimon whisper back to me.

"Why did you want to meet with Demon Archon anyway?" I ask her. She silently points at her vision that has been put in her hat.

"You want to ask about your vision?"

"...Not Exactly that but close to that. Same as you. I just want an answer." She said. The silence surrounds us for a moment with a sigh, I nod at her qualification.

"Give our bag of Mora back and I let you tag along with us to meet the Demon Archon. But if the Demon Archon didn't want to talk with you. I cannot do anything."

"Deal!" We shake our hand together but she still keeps the bag of Mora inside her pocket and will give it back after we arrive at the castle. Clever girl.
