Chapter 302

Worry-Dispelling Bookstore.

Watching Yingmei return through the Anywhere Door, little Paimon asked curiously.

"Ying, how does it feel?"

"The other side of the door really is the team leader's office—it's amazing."

Yingmei sat in a chair, still a trace of excitement on her face.

Only after experiencing it firsthand did she realize how wondrous and convenient this prop was.

No wonder it was used so often in the manga.

"Hehe, since it's so convenient, even if Ying goes to Liyue, she won't have to worry about running out of manga to read."

Little Paimon said with a smile.

"Liyue? Why go to Liyue?"

Yingmei was a little curious.

Paimon: (⊙_⊙)

"Wait, aren't you still looking for your brother? Since there's no news in Mondstadt, of course you have to go to Liyue, right?"

Little Paimon was utterly shocked.

What is going on here?

Didn't you say before that you were looking for your brother?

Earlier she had assumed Yingmei just wanted to read manga and so didn't want to leave Mondstadt for the time being.

Good heavens.

So you just straight-up forgot?!

Absolutely shocking Paimon for a hundred years.

"Seems... like it is!"

Yingmei scratched her head a little sheepishly.

Looking at little Paimon's stunned gaze, Yingmei really did feel a bit embarrassed.

First Noelle had asked her about it earlier, and now Paimon was thinking it through for her.

Turns out everyone around her was concerned about whether she'd found her family.

She was the only one who forgot…

This made Yingmei feel a little awkward.

"But, brother should understand me, right?"

Yingmei thought silently to herself.

It's not that the little sister isn't trying—it's just that the manga is too tempting.

But after being reminded twice, Yingmei finally remembered her real business.

"Then let's pack up later and get ready to head to Liyue."

Yingmei said with a smile.

If it had been before, she might have felt a little reluctant.

Because once she left like this, she might not be able to read manga for a long time afterward.

And she wouldn't get to see Boss Han either.

But now it was different.

Just like she'd told little Paimon, with this wondrous Anywhere Door,

whenever she wanted to come back and read manga, she could.

Anytime, anywhere—as long as she thought of the boss's manga shop, opening the door would take her right there.

It was just that the journey to Liyue was a bit troublesome; she'd have to walk there step by step herself.

Consider it inputting the map into the Anywhere Door.

Taking it easy and enjoying the scenery along the way wasn't bad either.

"Great, great!"

Seeing Yingmei decide to head to Liyue, little Paimon smiled very happily.

Things were going exactly according to her plan.

So she continued.

"Ying, there's another problem. Even though we're going to Liyue, we'll definitely be coming back often in the future, right? So we can't just randomly think of a place every time, can we?

For one thing it's inconvenient, and for another it's easy to scare people."

Hearing Paimon's words, Han Feng's expression turned a little odd.

Since when did little Paimon consider things this carefully?

He always felt this little one was up to something.

Yingmei fell into thought at this moment.

Because she felt Paimon made a good point.

Once or twice was no big deal,

but doing this long-term without a fixed point really wasn't ideal.

"How about we go ask the team leader for a location?"

Yingmei offered a suggestion.

This was the best solution she could think of.

After all, she was, for what it was worth, the Honorary Knight.

Can we keep a room? Isn't that reasonable?

"No no no! There are too many people at the Knights' quarters; it's not suitable."

Little Paimon shook her finger, looking mysteriously profound.

"In my opinion, renting a room from Boss Cong is best."

"Renting a room from Boss Kang?"

Ying blinked in surprise.

"That's right! First, Boss Kang's bed is big and comfortable—no, wait, it's that there are plenty of rooms here."

"Besides, our main reason for coming back is to read comics, so choosing this place is naturally the most suitable."

Little Paimon spoke with solemn seriousness.

There was not the slightest hint of any other motive.

She looked as if she were wholly concerned for Ying's well-being.
