Paimon's Companion Keeps Flirting with the Tone-Deaf Bard
11. "The Work-Shy Bard"
.
Why does Paimon have to be the one reading this distasteful plot out loud!? Read it yourself, you—you … lovesick fool!
Paimon has been the most tolerative travel partner who just lets him rub his relationship with Tone-Deaf Bard in Paimon's face all the time … but isn't this starting to get too much now?
Also—don't stick out your tongue like Tone-Deaf Bard, Aether!
He's really enjoying this, huh?
Is he happy now? The story of the protagonist and this bard-but-is-actually-the-principal is probably going to spread throughout Inazuma if their book sells well. Everyone is going to read this light novel, and you're basing it on you and Tone-Deaf Bard!?
So not only does he like rubbing it in Paimon's face, but now Aether wants to share it with the whole of Teyvat.
Aether's even smiling giddily and doing little nods while Yae Miko is reviewing his work. Oh for Archon's sake.
"Hurry, chapter two, let's go. Can't you see that Satomi is waiting?"
Good, now we're moving on to chapter two.
They agreed on using their Mondstadt and Liyue experiences as inspiration, which means … no more Tone-Deaf Bard!
"Hmm? What's wrong with you, Aether? You don't look so good…"
"I can't think of any more stories…"
What.
What does he mean by that.
Aether, being told to give interesting story ideas all of a sudden, and instantly came up with The Lazy, Good-For-Nothing Bard idea—an idea that Yae Miko even approves.
And now only a few seconds pass and he's telling Paimon he has no more inspiration!?
Paimon suspects Tone-Deaf Bard is all he's got on his head.
