"Don't worry about me. I'll take good care of myself. You two go handle your business first."
Just like that, the three parted ways and headed in different directions.
Of course, the flying cup followed Yuuko.
Paimon floated around Yuuko, curiously observing the atmosphere within Inazuma City, and exclaimed in surprise:
"Everyone seems so tense! What exactly happened?"
"Also, is your home in this alley? Why are you walking this way?"
After walking into the alley, Yuuko stopped and looked at Paimon.
And spoke coldly:
"Paimon, honestly, who exactly are you? And what is your purpose for approaching me?"
As he spoke these words, Yuuko also released an extremely powerful Presence, continuously pressing down on Paimon.
Paimon, forced back repeatedly by Yuuko's terrifying aura, panicked:
"What are you talking about?! And don't look at me with those eyes! It's scary!"
Yuuko didn't believe her excuse, reached out his hand, and prepared to grab this cup and thoroughly torment it.
But the grab was dodged by the nimble Paimon.
Paimon was seen stomping her feet angrily in the air: "Seriously! I already told you I don't know! You never listen!"
But the next moment, Yuuko threw a punch, slamming it onto Paimon's tiny body.
Bang!
Paimon's entire body was sent flying, smashing into the alley wall.
Of course, Yuuko hadn't used any strength in that punch, nor had he utilized any power.
He merely wanted to test this strange little creature slightly.
After all, he was about to discuss important matters with Raiden Ei, and he couldn't afford any carelessness.
It was always right to be cautious.
Paimon, after hitting the wall, quickly slid down to the ground.
After that, she floated up again, stomping her feet angrily:
"Seriously! You never listen! You're just a brute who only resorts to violence!"
Paimon's tiny mouth puffed out; she was clearly very angry.
Yuuko couldn't determine whether this was Paimon's acting.
But after that punch, he could confirm that Paimon indeed did not possess any power.
Rather, Paimon seemed like a being whose power had been completely drained... This observation gave Yuuko more ideas.
Thus, he put away his serious expression and laughed:
"My apologies. I had reasons for doing that. Please forgive me. It won't happen next time."
After saying this, he added in his heart: It will happen next time.
Paimon continued to stomp her feet furiously: "What just happened can't be dismissed with a simple apology!"
Yuuko laughed heartily: "How about I make you something delicious as compensation afterward? Of course, this time I'll make lots of meat dishes."
As soon as she heard about good food, Paimon's eyes lit up, and she instantly forgot what had just happened.
Drooling continuously: "R-really!?"
Sure enough, Paimon's intelligence didn't seem high enough to pull off such convincing acting... Maybe she genuinely knew nothing, or perhaps she really had forgotten everything.
Of course, Yuuko would still be wary of Paimon.
Yuuko could not completely trust a bizarre creature like Paimon.
Especially at such a crucial point in time, he had to be even more careful.
"Of course, we have to deal with the important matters before cooking. Paimon, wait for me here. If you wander off, I won't cook for you."
To be on the safe side, Yuuko used Elemental Power to create a cage, trapping Paimon inside.
Although he couldn't guarantee that this would hold Paimon, Yuuko would immediately sense it if the cage was broken.
This was also another test for Paimon.
To see if she possessed the power to break through a cage of this caliber.
"Hey! What are you doing?! Let me out!" Paimon was both angry and anxious.
Yuuko ignored Paimon, bent his legs slightly, pushed off forcefully, and flew into the air.
And quickly rushed toward the Tenshukaku... Inazuma City, Tenshukaku.
At this moment, the defenses of this place were extremely strict.
This was likely due to the Raiden Shogun ordering the concentration of troops.
Now, the soldiers patrolling around the Tenshukaku were several times more numerous than before.
However, this did not hinder Yuuko from entering the Tenshukaku at all.
Easily gliding past all the soldiers, Yuuko, who had already donned the 'Yellow Fox' persona, arrived in front of the Tenshukaku.
And gently pushed open the doors of the Tenshukaku.
Subsequently, he saw the two identical purple-clad women inside the Tenshukaku.
