Background / History

Arrival in Sunset Forest

Xu Qing and Aemeath unexpectedly caught Paimon and Phoebe Chibi while fishing in Sunset Forest. Paimon subsequently awoke from a nightmare in which she had been pulled from the water and put into a cooking pot 20 21.

On seeing Xu Qing, she immediately called him the Traveler. Despite his denial and different appearance, she insisted that she remembered “Traveler Xu Qing,” concluded that he had lost his memories, and promised to help him remember their journey. Xu Qing considered whether she came from a game he had played under his real name or from a future encounter in another world, but reached no conclusion 21.

Life with Xu Qing’s Group

Paimon settled comfortably into the group, finding her new life easier than traveling with the Traveler had been. She accompanied Xu Qing, Aemeath, and Phoebe Chibi into Heaven Dou City for breakfast, greeting familiar residents along the way. Aemeath explained the two floating companions to outsiders by claiming they were Martial Souls 22.

After noticing the disguised Qian Renxue following them, Paimon politely invited the apparent crown prince to breakfast. She was alarmed when the invitation was accepted because she had no money; Aemeath then maneuvered the crown prince into paying. At Chef Guga’s shop, Paimon and Phoebe Chibi each ordered a hundred portions of every menu item 22 23.

Aemeath Academy Takeover

When Aemeath proposed renaming Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Paimon initially failed to understand Qian Renxue’s alarm and resumed eating at Xu Qing’s instruction. Afterward, she questioned whether Aemeath truly intended to rename a royal institution, but immediately withdrew her objection when Aemeath gave her a dangerous look 24 25.

Paimon later watched from a window with Phoebe Chibi during the academy takeover and was the first to greet Qian Renxue upon her arrival 25.

Personality

Paimon is outspoken, sociable, and quick to react to teasing. She angrily rejects being called emergency food, protests being labeled a “big fish,” and calls savory-tofu-pudding eaters “heretics.” Xu Qing and Aemeath repeatedly exploit these reactions to tease her 21 22.

Food is a major enthusiasm: she eagerly anticipates breakfast, strongly prefers sweet tofu pudding, and eats enough to leave her belly visibly bulging. Nevertheless, when she fears Xu Qing might abandon her over her appetite, she tearfully offers to eat less. Her insistence on restoring his supposed lost memories also shows how strongly she values their remembered companionship 21 22 23 25.
