However, Raiden Ei could detect the anomaly in Paimon.
Perhaps this is the difference between the Seven Archons and ordinary people; at least the Seven Archons can slightly perceive Paimon's suspicious nature.
Others, when they look at Paimon, would completely assume Paimon is a normal human.
Seeing this, Yuuko pondered:
"So that's how it is. In the eyes of you Seven Archons, Paimon is also like a normal human, but you can slightly detect a hint of something..."
Raiden Ei raised her delicate brows, "What do you mean?"
Yuuko said with a smile, "In my opinion, Paimon is absolutely an abnormal existence. Humans don't have a size like hers, but you all seem unable to perceive this. So I'm wondering if something has altered your perception."
Hearing this, Raiden Ei fell into deep thought, and after a while, she said incredulously:
"You mean Paimon is similar to the sacred sakura tree, capable of altering people's perceptions?"
Yuuko waved his hand, "Is there any other possibility? Ordinary people can't perceive anything unusual about her at all."
Hearing this, Raiden Ei immediately looked at Paimon with a wary gaze.
Yuuko quickly laughed, "It's fine, although Paimon is strange, she doesn't possess any power."
"Is that so?" Raiden Ei slightly exhaled in relief.
But immediately, Raiden Ei spoke with concern again:
"However, battle is about to begin. I don't think it's wise to keep someone of unknown origin in the house."
Yuuko sighed softly, "Ei, you have a point, but I also have my own ideas."
Raiden Ei glanced at Yuuko, then retracted her gaze:
"Is that so? As long as it's your decision, whatever you do, I will trust you."
Yuuko smiled, then changed the subject:
"By the way, can we confirm which nations will be attacking Inazuma now?"
Facing this question, Raiden Ei did not answer immediately, but looked at Paimon.
Clearly, Raiden Ei could not trust Paimon.
So if Paimon was present, she wouldn't say anything too important.
Seeing this, Yuuko had no choice but to carry Paimon out of the living room and then out of the house.
He casually placed a cage to trap Paimon.
This made Paimon stomp her feet in anger repeatedly: "Hey! You're doing this to me again! How mean!"
"Sorry, sorry, we need to discuss important matters now, please excuse us for a moment."
"There's no need to imprison me outside! I'll never forgive you! You meanie!"
After saying that, Paimon immediately put her hands on her hips, pouted, and turned her head away.
This time, she was truly angry.
She would absolutely never forgive Yuuko for treating her so roughly!
Paimon was that resilient!
Seeing this, Yuuko smiled, "There will be meat in lunch."
Paimon instantly broke character, her eyes shining, "Re-really!?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Paimon immediately realized her lapse, and huffed tsunderely:
"No! That's not right! Don't think you can bribe me with food! I'd rather jump off the roof than forgive you! Hmph!"
"There will be meat for dinner too."
"Re-really!?" Paimon broke character again... "Yes, so please forgive this behavior of mine."
"Hmph! Don't let there be a next time!" Paimon huffed tsunderely.
Now, Yuuko had Paimon completely under his thumb, as he could easily bribe her with a bit of food... After dealing with Paimon, Yuuko re-entered the house and came before Raiden Ei:
"Sorry for the wait. Let's get back to the previous question."
Raiden Ei glanced out into the hallway, and after confirming that Paimon couldn't hear, she began to speak:
"The situation is still good. According to currently known intelligence, only the Archon of the Nation of Water has brought troops to Inazuma. The other Archons have all come to Inazuma alone, seemingly wanting to survey the situation before making a decision."
Hearing this, Yuuko also smiled, "So, that means we just need to take down the Archon of the Nation of Water?"
"Take down..." Raiden Ei showed a strange expression, eventually sighing slightly, "But that shouldn't be difficult for you."
After a pause, Raiden Ei said seriously again:
"All in all, this is good news for us. It means that the other Archons also have an intention to resist Celestia in their hearts."
"Seizing this opportunity, we might be able to win them over, and then when we attack Celestia, we'll have more help."
"It might be difficult to persuade those Archons, though..."
Yuuko clenched his fists and smiled slightly:
"It's fine, I'll go have a con(physical)versation with them. I believe they will voluntarily join us."
Raiden Ei: "..."
