After finishing his conversation with Raiden Ei, Yuuko left Tenshukaku.
He then returned to the alley where Paimon was kept, only to find Paimon still trapped in the cage.
Although there were signs of an attempt to break out, Paimon hadn't managed to escape successfully.
Seeing Yuuko return, Paimon immediately stomped her foot in anger again, saying:
"You excessive fellow! You just locked me up here without a word!"
Yuuko smiled, unlocked the cage Paimon was in, and said with a laugh:
"My apologies, but haven't I just let you out?"
Paimon continued to stomp her foot: "This isn't something an apology can fix!"
"How about I make you a delicious meal now?"
"One meal isn't enough! At least two, and they must have meat! Hmph!" Paimon crossed her arms and turned her head away.
Seeing this, Yuuko smiled helplessly.
Now, he was really unsure whether Paimon was truly naive, or if it was all an act?
If she could pretend like this, then Paimon's acting skills were simply too good... Regardless, Yuuko decided to continue observing Paimon.
"Let's go, to buy ingredients."
"Hmph!" Paimon still turned her head away in anger, but obediently followed Yuuko out.
Afterward, Yuuko took this little creature to the shops on Inazuma's streets to buy ingredients.
However, probably due to the tense atmosphere, most of the shops were closed.
Yuuko had to search for quite a while before finally finding an open store.
After a brief chat with the proprietress, Yuuko casually picked out the ingredients.
And headed home with the ingredients, ready to cook.
On the way home, Paimon asked curiously:
"It feels like you have good relationships with many people. You can talk to many people along the way, and you also greeted many people."
Yuuko smiled slightly: "After all, I'm happy to help others, so I have good connections."
In fact, Yuuko had deliberately interacted with more people just now.
Even if there was nothing specific, he would greet some acquaintances on the road.
His purpose was to make them notice Paimon's existence.
To test how these ordinary people viewed Paimon.
After the experiment, he found that the citizens of Inazuma weren't at all surprised by Paimon's peculiar existence... instead, they thought Paimon was just an ordinary child.
Regarding this, it was the same as Yae Miko.
It seemed that in the eyes of ordinary people, Paimon was a normal child.
Even though there couldn't possibly be humans of Paimon's size, people didn't doubt it at all... This could be said to be extremely strange.
This indicated that people's cognition was indeed distorted.
"I'll ask Ei later what she thinks of Paimon. Ei is a god, so her perception of Paimon should be different."
Thinking this, Yuuko shook his head and continued home.
