Genshin Player in the World of Detective Conan

Seeing the embarrassed girl, Yin Kong understood and said:

"Of course, not just one day, I can even advance you a whole year's salary."

Discovering that Yin Kong wasn't being sarcastic, Aoyama Nanami was naturally extremely surprised. Was her new boss too generous?

However, she wasn't the type to push her luck, so she quickly said:

"No, no, one day is enough."

"Here." Yin Kong casually pulled out a Yukichi Fukuzawa he'd picked up on the way back and handed it over. Then he remembered something. "But since it's so late, why don't I treat everyone to a meal? Consider it a celebration of the official establishment of the Cunning Rabbit House."

Aoyama Nanami, who had just breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the Yukichi Fukuzawa, was stunned again.

Would it be too much to accept both the money and the meal?

As if sensing the girl's concern, Kuki Shinobu patted her shoulder and smiled:

"Don't worry, the Traveler is like this. When you're with him, you don't need to worry so much."

Speaking of which, Kuki Shinobu's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of reminiscence:

"Besides, the Traveler's cooking is superb. Missing out would be a huge loss."

While Aoyama Nanami was hesitating, Miss Yoko suddenly thought of something and walked over to Yin Kong, asking in a low voice:

"But Yin Kong, what about Paimon in this case?"

With Aoyama Nanami around, Paimon probably couldn't appear openly, right?

We're having a fantastic feast, but one person wasn't invited. Guess who?

Even if Yin Kong gave Paimon a special meal later, with Paimon's personality, she would still feel disappointed, right?

"Don't worry, I have my ways." How could Yin Kong not have considered Paimon? He smiled, "Want to see?"

Miss Yoko asked curiously:

"Huh? Can I?"

Yin Kong nodded:

"Of course, it's not exactly a secret."

Miss Yoko nodded vigorously, turned around, and said, "Sister Hitomi, please keep these two company here for a while. I'll go with Yin Kong to pick up a little guest... Oh, right, Yin Kong, I haven't introduced you yet. This is Sister Hitomi, my new manager."

Sister Hitomi was a stern-looking, middle-aged woman in her thirties.

She had naturally noticed the almost undisguised joy in Ono Yoko's expression since Yin Kong appeared.

In fact, Ono Yoko had told her a little about Yin Kong on the way there, but she hadn't expected it to be this exaggerated. It was just like a young girl in love.

She really wanted to remind Miss Yoko that such behavior was very dangerous.

But seeing the idol's beaming face, she finally nodded with a straight face.

Yin Kong didn't mind the manager's coldness and quickly brought Yoko back to the apartment.

"Traveler!" As soon as the door opened, the familiar, super Paimon pounced forward. "Did you miss me today?"

Gently catching the little creature, Yin Kong chuckled and said:

"Of course I--didn't."

"What? You! I was worried sick about you encountering any danger or accidents, and you don't even care about me!" Hearing this, Paimon crossed her arms, turned her head away, and said, "I'm angry, I'm not talking to you anymore, hmph!"

Seeing this, Yin Kong immediately said:

"Okay, okay, how could I not miss Paimon? Look, I prepared a surprise gift."

Upon hearing "gift," Paimon instantly forgot her anger and turned back. "What surprise gift? Did the Traveler find (draw) an old friend, Mervina or Skirk?"

"How could that be?" Hearing this, Yin Kong couldn't help but chuckle. "It's a surprise gift specially for you."

"A gift just for me? Could it be--delicious food?!" Paimon exclaimed excitedly.

"It's not entirely wrong to say that," Yin Kong smiled slightly and added, "but delicious food is only part of the surprise."

Only part of it?

Paimon covered her head and thought for a long time before shaking her head and clinging to Yin Kong's arm, acting spoiled. "No way, Traveler, stop keeping me in suspense!"

Seeing this, Yin Kong immediately extended his right hand and slowly opened it.

"Alright, then I'll reveal the answer. Ta-da! The surprise gift I prepared for you is this."

"A cat?" Seeing Sapphire crouching obediently in Yin Kong's palm, Paimon looked surprised. "Traveler, do you want it to stay in the apartment and play with me?"

Yin Kong explained:

"The surprise gift I prepared naturally wouldn't be so simple. Paimon, this cat is called Sapphire. It possesses the abilities of stealth and transformation. As long as you form a contract with it, you can share these abilities. Do you know what that means?"

Paimon froze, then exclaimed with immense joy:

"You mean I can finally go out again?!"

Chapter 56: Yin Kong Sweating Buckets

"That's great, we can act together again, Traveler, sniffle..."

Seeing Paimon, who had thrown herself into his arms and was quietly crying, Yin Kong was also taken aback.

Then, he gently patted the little one's back, comforting her:

"Don't worry, I won't leave you alone."

But the more he comforted her, the more Paimon's tears flowed uncontrollably:

"These past few days, staying alone in the apartment... I was really... really scared, scared you'd suddenly abandon me..."

"Alright, alright, it's okay now." Yin Kong hadn't expected his actions to put so much pressure on Paimon. He said apologetically, "We can act together again from now on, right? By the way, Ms. Yoko is still here. If you keep crying, you'll turn from a flying dwarf gourd into a crying floating spirit."

"I'm not a crying spirit, and who's a flying dwarf gourd anyway?"

Once Paimon finally stopped crying and started smiling, Yin Kong produced the contract:

"Alright, I've prepared the contract."

"Oh, right!" Paimon quickly glanced at the contract and muttered, "Party A agrees to share their illusion ability with Party B. In exchange, Party B needs to provide Party A with a comfortable and clean living space, fur grooming and cleaning at least once every three days, relaxing massages at least once a week, and twenty dried fish every day... Wow, Traveler, I want that relaxing massage too."

"Dream on." Seeing that Paimon's attention was completely captured by the massage, Yin Kong reminded her with a smile, "Right, since it's a contract, Paimon will have to do the grooming and provide the dried fish herself."

Paimon exclaimed in surprise:

"What? All of this is my responsibility?"

Yin Kong smiled and asked:

"So, Paimon, are you signing or not?"

Paimon covered her head and said:

"I have no choice. To be able to act with Traveler, I'll sign!"

Under Yin Kong's witness, [Sapphire] and Paimon each placed their hand (paw) prints, completing the contract.

"Is this it?" Paimon soon let out a small gasp, "Oh, I know now, I can create my own illusion as a disguise, hehe—"

Hearing Paimon's "malicious" laughter, Yin Kong knew that this Teyvat's idea king had probably come up with another terrible plan.

As expected, after laughing, the little one blurred in front of Ms. Yoko's astonished gaze, instantly transforming into a stunningly beautiful girl with silver hair and red eyes:

"Hmph, I'm Silk— no, why am I still so small?"

Paimon quickly realized with surprise that although she had successfully transformed into the image of Silk she had in mind, the vision of Yin Kong and Ms. Yoko was still so huge.

In other words, her height and build hadn't changed significantly.

Seeing this, Yin Kong slowly explained:

"Because this little one's strength is still very weak, her illusion ability is naturally very limited. Therefore, the illusionary image you create cannot have too large a difference in size."

Hearing this, Paimon couldn't help but feel a little disappointed:

"What? I'm still a kid? I thought I'd look more imposing this time."

Even if she took off the crown on her head and stood obediently on the ground, Paimon's appearance still had very obvious differences from a real child.

So, this ability was meant to make Paimon appear "normal" in the eyes of others.

"And besides disguising yourself, you can also choose who gets to see your true appearance."

Simply put, if it was someone Paimon approved of, they could see her floating beside Yin Kong.

Conversely, others would only see her walking on the ground like a normal child.

"What an amazing ability!"

Watching Paimon float in the air one moment and then transform into a child walking on the ground the next, playing back and forth with great enjoyment, Ms. Yoko exclaimed in amazement, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

If such an ability were to be used in the entertainment industry, its power would be unimaginable.

"Ms. Yoko, do you really want such an ability?"

Hearing Yin Kong's question, the idol was startled but quickly admitted honestly:

"Yes, such an ability would be very useful to me."

Yin Kong pondered:

"Unfortunately, the little one's strength is still too weak to support two contractors... Since Ms. Yoko wants it, I'll keep an eye out."

Up to this point, the idol had supported him almost without reservation, so he didn't mind reciprocating accordingly.

Moreover, if Ms. Yoko's career could reach new heights, it wouldn't be a bad thing for him either.

Hearing this answer, Ono Yoko was overjoyed:

"Really? I can also sign such a magical contract?"

She had thought that such a miraculous power could only be used by those with some special abilities.

Yin Kong nodded first, but quickly reminded her:

"Of course, but as a normal person, you'll have more restrictions than Paimon. You can probably only make minor adjustments and won't be able to transform into others at will."

"This is already more than enough!"

Ono Yoko nodded excitedly.

No one dared to claim their appearance was perfect and flawless. For her, being able to achieve this much was already an immense surprise.

"Speaking of which, will I be adopting it from now on?" Paimon asked, finally having decided on her new appearance. She hugged the well-behaved and cute [Sapphire] and said, "Yin Kong, according to the rules, shouldn't I give it a new name, just like the one you gave the little guy, [Young Morax], it's all--"

"Cough, cough, cough! Paimon!"

Yin Kong immediately coughed a few times, interrupting Paimon.

[Young Morax] was naturally the name he had given the little dragon from Natlan back then.

Thinking that the real [Morax] was listening backstage at that moment, Yin Kong felt a sweat-drenching sensation for the first time in this world.

"No need to be nervous, Traveler." Zhongli chuckled softly, teasing Yin Kong leisurely in his mind, "I think the reason you chose such a name was just to place a deep expectation on it, right?"

"Yes, yes... right, hahaha."

Yin Kong gave a dry laugh. Although it was eventually proven that his name was indeed not wrong in a certain sense, meeting the actual person at this moment inevitably made him feel a bit awkward.

"Traveler, since you have this habit, how about naming this little one in front of you [Young Barbatos]?"

Even though your voice is sincere, old man, why do I feel like you're stifling a laugh?

[Young Barbatos]?

Hearing this new name, Paimon couldn't help but retort:
