Teyvat, Mondstadt, the guest room of the Godelia Grand Hotel.
“Hey! Hey! Bai Yu!”
“Are you there?”
“Stinky Bai Yu? Big pervert? Bad guy who likes girls’ feet?”
After calling him a variety of strange and awful names, not receiving any response from Bai Yu, Lumine finally believed that Bai Yu’s consciousness had left her body.
While relieved, the girl felt a strange sense of loss.
It was as if a piece of her heart had been suddenly ripped away.
“No, no! This attitude is wrong! It must be the natural reaction of her body after the guy’s possession is lifted!”
Shaking her head vigorously and slapping her face, Lumine convinced herself. With a slightly red face, she walked into the bathroom.
As Bai Yu said before, after days of eating and sleeping in the open, Lumine couldn't help but want to take a good, long bath.
“Paimon! Come take a bath!”
“Coming~”
Paimon, who was still observing the room’s decor, flew into the bathroom with Lumine.
The little guy hesitated for a moment: “Lumine, did Bai Yu really leave?”
“Should… be?” Lumine nodded.
She couldn’t deny the feeling of emptiness in her heart, and such a feeling was completely inexplicable. Lumine could only attribute it to a normal reaction after Bai Yu’s consciousness left.
This was the true reason why the girl was sure that Bai Yu had left.
“Phew! That’s good, that’s good!” Paimon patted her flat little chest, feeling relieved. “Although Bai Yu seems like a nice guy, and he even helped you so much, Lumine, if he sees us taking a bath, it would still be… still…”
Seeing Paimon’s blushing face, Lumine chuckled and bent down to pinch her soft cheeks: “Little Paimon, you’re so small, but your mind is so complex!”
“I, I, I, I! I didn’t think anything weird!”
Paimon blushed and escaped Lumine’s grasp, quickly hiding aside.
Lumine didn't tease her anymore. As she filled the bathtub with hot water, she began to undress.
As the best hotel in Mondstadt, the Godelia Grand Hotel would naturally provide hot water to its guests at all times.
In Teyvat, a magical world with elemental powers and alchemy, people have countless ways to do many things with their unique local technologies.
In a happy mood, Lumine hummed a song and untied the ribbon around her neck.
As the ribbon came undone, the white dress with blue trim and gold accents instantly lost its support and slid smoothly down her alabaster skin, falling to the ground.
With her hands behind her back, she untied the drawstring of her undergarment, removed her tight clothes, and took off the headband. Then Lumine bent forward, her slender back instantly curving into an exaggerated S-shape.
Picking up her clothes from the floor, she tossed them aside. As she turned, Lumine noticed that Paimon had already stripped and was already in the bathtub.
The girl crossed her arms and said in a displeased tone: “Paimon! Get out, wash clean before soaking!”
“Oh~”
Opening the shower head, Lumine hugged Paimon and sat on a small stool under the cascading hot water.
The not-so-large bathroom was soon filled with a misty haze.
First, she gently washed Paimon, and after Paimon was clean and shouted with joy, jumping into the bathtub, Lumine continued to wash her own body.
Under the shower, her alabaster skin was quickly soaked by the warm water.
The beautifully sculpted outline of her body undulated under the flow of water, and her pair of slender, symmetrical legs were particularly eye-catching.
Unconsciously, the girl’s eyes fell on the pair of white jade feet that stepped on the floor tiles.
Paimon, who was already soaking in the bath, suddenly noticed that Lumine was strangely and frantically applying shower gel to her feet, then rubbing them furiously.
“Lumine?”
“What are you looking at!”
Caught by Lumine’s raised eyes, Paimon instinctively shrank her neck, burying the lower half of her face in the hot water and blowing bubbles.
“Bastard! Bastard! How dare you say that about me!”
“If that guy dares to appear in front of me, I will crush him!”
“Step on him with my boots! I’m going to put nails in the heels!”
Paimon: “…………”
Oh no! Lumine is completely out of her mind!
To be honest, although they were eating and sleeping in the open, Lumine would wash herself well as long as she found a clean water source in the wild.
The reason why she rolled on the ground just now was entirely because she was scared.
Feeling she should try to divert her travel companion’s attention, Paimon asked tentatively:
“Lumine, are you sure this is punishment, not a reward?”
Lumine paused, raised her head, and smiled sweetly, her voice stretching out:
“Oh, Paimon! You really understand! You said you don’t know martial arts!?”
Paimon: “——!!”
Once again, Paimon is small, but she knows quite a bit!

Azure Star.
As a living planet, it was unremarkable in the starry sea, without much fame.
Until one year, a genius scholar from Azure Star made a great name for himself in this starry sky.
That scholar’s name was Black Tower.
On this day, in the Black Tower Space Station in synchronous orbit around Azure Star, in the control section’s station manager's workstation, Aiste, who rarely had free time, was enjoying her favorite pastime.
“Observation team, call up the Neur Iman Telescope in the No. 2 equipment bay, set it to 100 astronomical units, observe the ‘Star Pre-Cloud Nucleus’ ahead.”
“Turn on the light speed compensation system. Pay special attention to the particle density. If you find an ultra-dense structure, start recording the splitting process of the ‘Stellar Embryo’ immediately.”
Sitting in her seat, Aiste held a cup of coffee and hummed happily. Before long, the 3D holographic equipment in front of her displayed an image of a brilliant nebula where a star was being born.
Joy filled the girl’s beautiful eyes. For her, there was nothing more enjoyable than watching stars.
Lost in stargazing, Aiste didn’t notice that a figure who rarely appeared in the control section had come behind her at some point.
“It seems you’re in a good mood.”
“Ah!”
Black Tower’s sudden voice startled Aiste. She stood up from her chair and looked at the doll-like girl beside her who was more than a head shorter than her. Tilting her head, Aiste asked: “Black Tower, is something wrong?”
After a moment, her face suddenly changed: “Could it be that your account was frozen by the company because you didn’t pay your bills?”
