Paimon's Companion Keeps Flirting with the Tone-Deaf Bard
07. "Paimon's back! Paimon picked a lot of big, fresh apples! Hey, where did the Traveler and Tone-Deaf Bard go?"
.
Let's celebrate Venti's birthday, they said.
Let's cook some food and have a nice picnic together, they said.
Go pick lots of big apples so we can squeeze some more fresh apple juice, they said!
And Paimon should have known, of course they're nowhere to be seen when Paimon gets back! Sending Paimon away to pick some apples so they can flirt in peace; this trick is getting old!
Paimon's really looking forward to the picnic, you know.
Not only helping out with decorating the picnic mat with fresh Windwheel Aster and Cecilia, Paimon was even in charge of reading the recipes for Tea Break Pancake and Mint Jelly.
Paimon only had the chance to eat a slice of pancake before going to pick the apples. And all of these foods in front of Paimon are making Paimon even more hungry.
If they're not coming back, then Paimon is going to finish all these!
Paimon won't even leave a lick of food for them!
But…
… Aether is Paimon's precious friend. And Paimon knows how precious Tone-Deaf Bard is to Aether. Also, we prepared this picnic together to celebrate Tone-Deaf Bard's birthday.
Paimon should just eat these sunsettias while waiting for them so we can celebrate it together.
Since Paimon is Aether's number one best friend!

I was thinking of letting Paimon feast on the food. But after remembering how sweet she is to Aether, I'm sure she'd wait for them to celebrate Venti's birthday together no matter how tempting the food in front of her is.
