"Isn't this reward just too powerful?" Paimon was completely dumbfounded as she watched Lumine experiment with her new abilities. The shock on her face was clearâshe had never seen Lumine fly like that before, otherwise, they wouldn't have spent so much time swimming across rivers. The only possible explanation was that the reward from the manga was real.
"There really are rewards for reading comics!" Paimon's eyes lit up with renewed excitement. Since Lumine had received such a game-changing power, Paimon felt her dream of the [Gourmet Tablecloth] was finally within reach. She couldn't sit still for another second and hurried back to the bookshelf to continue her own reading.
Lumine smiled, watching her companion's enthusiasm, and settled back down to re-read One Piece. The story was so engaging that she felt it was worth experiencing more than once. Another hour passed in quiet absorption before Paimon finally closed her book with a satisfied sigh.
"How exciting!" Paimon exclaimed, the story still fresh in her mind. For her, Cardcaptor Sakura was a perfect fit. The tale of Sakura Kinomoto recovering Clow cards to save the world resonated with her deeply. She saw a lot of herself and Lumine in the relationship between Sakura and her partner, Keroâgood friends facing adventures and difficulties together.
Paimon found Sakura to be incredibly cute, though in her heart, she still thought Lumine was the cutest. She also took a particular liking to Tomoyo Daidouji, especially the camera she always carried. It would be great if I had one of those, Paimon thought. I could record all of Lumine's battle scenes. I'll call it the 'Traveler's Journal'!
However, as the plot had progressed, Paimon had grown a bit unhappy. She had initially liked the character Yukito, thinking he would be Sakura's helper. Finding out his true identity was Yue, the Judge who stood against Sakura, was far too intense for her. She just wanted everyone to get along.
Despite enjoying the story, Paimon noticed a major problem: she hadn't seen the tablecloth the boss mentioned. She flew over to the counter, looking pitiful. "Boss, why didn't I see that [Gourmet Tablecloth] anywhere in the book?"
"The [Gourmet Tablecloth] is actually from a manga called Doraemon, which isn't in the shop yet," Han Feng explained with a light smile.
Paimon's disappointment was visible, but it didn't last long. The system information refreshed in Han Feng's mind: [Customer Paimon finished reading Cardcaptor Sakura and obtained Tomoyo Daidouji's Video Camera.]
[Tomoyo Daidouji's Video Camera: Capable of shooting ultra-high-definition video; a perfect companion for travel. Note: System improvements have granted the device unlimited memory and power, and its size has been adjusted to suit the owner.]
A brilliant beam of light descended from the ceiling, landing a small, sleek video camera directly into Paimon's tiny hands. "Huh? What is this?" Paimon squeaked, her eyes wide.
"That's a camera. It lets you record pictures of people and things. Since you read the comic, you should know how it works," Han Feng said.
"Great! I was just thinking about this!" Paimon shouted, her excitement returning in full force. Then her face fell as she turned the device over. "But... I don't actually know how to use it."
"Bring it here, I'll show you." Before his time-traveling days, Han Feng had worked as a part-time photographer, so the controls were second nature to him. Under his guidance, Paimon quickly picked up the basics. "By the way, you don't need to worry about the battery or memory. You can use it as much as you want."
"Hehe, that's perfect! Now I can keep filming Lumine all day!" Paimon giggled, clutching the camera tightly.
Lumine looked up, her instincts warning her that something was wrong. "Filming? What are you filming?"
"No, nothing!" Paimon quickly hid the camera behind her back and changed the subject. "We should go find Amber! I bet she's been waiting for a long time!" She couldn't let Lumine know her plan yet, or the "Journal" would be over before it started.
"Right, we should hurry," Lumine agreed, remembering their appointment. They had planned to tour Mondstadt and meet Amber, but they had become so addicted to the comics that they had lost track of time. Amber was their first friend in this world, and they didn't want to be late.
"Thank you for the rewards, Boss," they both said, expressing their sincere gratitude. If it weren't for Han Feng, they wouldn't have gained such incredible items.
Han Feng just smiled. "It was your own luck. If you like the books, feel free to come back next time."
"We definitely will!" Lumine and Paimon nodded eagerly. The chance to gain powerful abilities while reading such wonderful stories was an offer they couldn't refuse.
