Chill with us!
***
The feeling of not being able to speak at all and defend himself because three girls were shouting through him was depressing to say the least.
After about fifteen minutes of explaining, the misunderstanding was finally resolved and Yomite was left off the hook.
Paimon thoroughly enjoyed his suffering until the last minute though, that smug look remained on her face till the end.
(Just you wait...I am a petty person, I will get you back for this you little flying runt.)
Yomite swore to himself.
"So~ Yommie...Can I ask you for a favor?" Hu Tao asked right after everyone calmed down, still sitting on his shoulders.
"...What is it...also what is up with that nickname...why is everyone giving me one lately?"
He was completely exhausted and mentally drained right after their heart-to-heart discussion.
He thought he was finally done for today, but it appeared he was wrong...
What did Hu Tao want now?
"Ehehe~ Getting new nicknames is essential in developing relationships or so I've heard~! In any case, I would like you to bring my casket with us to the inn. I've been using it as a bed for a long time and I feel nostalgic."
The girls and Yomite all took a quick glance at each other before turning to her.
"So it was your bed after all...go figure..."
"It takes courage to sleep in a coffin."
"Paimon knew it! You are scary!"
"Of course not silly! I am as friendly as I can get! Sleeping in a casket is incredibly comfortable! You should try it out sometimes!" Hu Tao joked before leaning over his shoulder and giggling loudly.
"I think I'll pass on that..." Yomite responded somewhat defeated despite the oddity of the request and declined her idea outright.
"But yeah, ask Lumine, I'm sure she will put your coffin into her inventory or something. I am sure there won't be much trouble with that."
"Yuppie~! Also..." She leaned closer towards his ear to whisper, "What do you say about locking ourselves in the coffin for the entire night~ Tight enclosed space where both of our bodies rely on each other~"
Yomite gulped at her proposal while nodding slowly, not expecting a heated offer like this.
Making out in a coffin...
A unique proposal if he ever heard one...
However, before he could reply to her request the other girls noticed some disturbance in the force and immediately frowned, as if being frustrated that most of his attention was always on Hu Tao.
(This is... going to be hard...but they are right. I should prioritize someone like Fischl foremost now.)
Hu Tao was pampered the most out of every girl who was interested in him, hence the stares of protest when the two of them were so close and ignored everybody else...
In the end, Yomite shook his head at her proposal.
"Maybe one day...it sounds exciting, but not now." He softly replied much to the protest of Hu Tao and gently pushed her chin down so she wouldn't make such stubborn faces anymore.
His gaze lingered on Fischl for a moment, before he spoke up again.
"Do you have time tomorrow? We could go relax together if you want to."
Fischl stiffened upon the request, obviously shocked by the proposal.
"Wha-…!?"
She hadn't expected another date with Yomite that soon! She wasn't prepared for it at all! Despite the fact that she wanted one, she certainly wasn't expecting Yomite to put forward something quite definite already.
Her mind was once again in shambles...
(Why does he always catch us off guard like this!? What are we going to do! We don't have any clothes for the occasion!)
Fischl internally screamed, and weirdly enough she got a response.
(Had thee forgotten? The manifestation of exterior facade ist not essential in achieving true romantic happiness! Lasteth date confirm'd this fact! You heathen!)
It was her other self, scolding her mentally once again...
(I know, I know! But I wanted to do something special for him...)
(...Something exceptional...you say? Hmm. Very well then. In that case, this Prinzessin Der Verurteilung shall bestow upon him the greatest honour of "that".)
(W-Wait..."that" are you serious? I-I can't just do that! That's...t-too embarrassing...I am not sure if I can pull it off...)
(Thou ought to believe in thyself. Go forth! Prinzessin of the darkest abyss and capture thy Princes' heart!)
Fischl's internal conflict led to a downward spiral, panicking all the more, causing her hands to tighten into fists.
"I-I...I would love to go..." Her voice quivered as she voiced her consent, still torn between happily giggling and swallowing her embarrassment.
The other girls in the room barely kept their surprise hidden when he proposed this idea, but the answer was clear!
Yomite was beginning his plan on fulfilling all of their requests!
"Eh? Why does it seem like Fischl is speaking weirdly...?" Paimon suddenly questioned. "Her usual response should have been like: Hahah! This Prinzessin shall take over the world with you! Muhahahah!" she laughed in an evil tone that somewhat resembled Fischl's normal pattern of speaking.
"Paimon, she seems to be very shy about her feelings. For some people, it's not easy to convey their true feelings to someone they adore..."
Lumine replied to Paimon, almost as if she was hinting towards the hidden truth...
Just like Fischl, Lumine was also someone who wasn't able to express herself either verbally or physically in her desires. Communicating with her emotions and expressing her deepest thoughts or opinions upon others was hard.
