Cloud Retainer arrived at the scene with little Suyu, radiating authority.
Paimon, on the other hand, was genuinely arrogant. "I said it. You can hear me just fine, can't you?"
Then she performed an incredible feat—changing her expression instantly.
Because Suyu was holding a platter of Grilled Tigerfish...
"My master and I just grilled these. Let's share them—they're still hot."
Paimon teleported to Cloud Retainer's side and started rubbing her back.
"I'm sorry, Bird Adeptus Sister. You're the smartest, strongest, and prettiest adeptus there is."
"...So, did you include my portion?"
What a shapeshifter!
Can you even react that fast, bird?
There was light in Paimon's eyes!
I still preferred how unruly you were at first. Go back to that.
You really are a good judge of character!
Cloud Retainer huffed, but still took out a skewer for little Paimon.
Everyone burst out laughing.
For a time, quiet Mount Aocang was filled with cheerful air...
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they saw there were quite a few students.
Cloud Retainer began her lesson.
After class, since there were so many people, Cloud Retainer had everyone form their own groups.
She brought over the materials. The ordinary fuel and Nightglow Dye had now been sorted apart.
Everyone could take whatever they needed according to their choices.
"Do you have any questions now?"
Paimon spread her hands. "The Grilled Tigerfish was delicious. Kites? What kites?"
Ying was already used to it.
"I'll be the one making it anyway. You can help me."
"Hehe... Thanks for always being so reliable."
Cloud Retainer walked beneath a large tree. "I shall rest in this shade and aid my digestion."
"If you run into trouble, need anything, or simply wish to chat, come find me at any time."
She still loved chatting so
