In the end (much to your disappointment,) the whole mission was a ruse, or rather, unintentional rues as this Cocogoat adeptibeast is not true and that Qiqi was only remembering things wrong. You don't have the heart to tell Qiqi it was all a misunderstanding so you're thankful the traveler and Paimon are unaware you can understand and speak the language they're using.

So imagine your shock when Qiqi revealed that the reason why she's looking for the Cocogoat in the first place was that because she enjoyed drinking a milk called "Coconut Milk." You couldn't even bring yourself to get angry at her as it was partially your group's fault for thoughtlessly agreeing to a contract - with a zombie child who don't even remember things correctly.

Zhongli had to apologize on his behalf for being misled by a child, thinking of things way too literally instead of carefully assessing what the child meant to deliver. Somehow, Paimon forgave him despite her temper. Lumine also forgave him as she too didn't understand the situation. You didn't want to speak nor do you want to risk exposing you or Zhongli's secret so you just gave him an "okay" sign... While glaring at him.

"Excuse me, everyone. Did Qiqi say a bad thing?"

You nearly clutched your chest as a pang of guilt immediately rushed course throughout your body. Poor girl thought she was to blame for the everyone have defeated look on their faces.

Paimon was quick to answer. She looked at Lumine with an apologetic expression before shaking her head. "Paimon's gonna leave this job to you to shatter this poor kiddo's world.."

Lumine glared at her before looking back to Qiqi. She leaned on her knees and looked at Qiqi with warm smile before inhaling deeply.

"You see, Qiqi... It's time to tell you where coconut milk comes from.."

After learning the truth, Qiqi was completely devastated and confused from the sudden news poured down on her. Lumine fixed her pose before looking down at the child apologetically. It seemed to you that Qiqi took this with a hard blow.

"Haha, seems like someone learned a valuable life lesson today, no? Anyways, thank you all for looking after my little Qiqi."

You turned around in surprise and sees a tall man with green hair. He has a white snake neatly wrapped around the base of his neck and brown glasses that settles on his face. He wore a dendro vision on his waist.

Zhongli was the first one to answer back by asking who the man was. The man in question then introduced himself as Baizhu.

"How rude of me, I'm Baizhu, boss of the Bubu Pharmacy." He greeted while slightly bowing.

"Woah, I thought Qiqi was the boss. Turns out it was some wacko that wears medicinal ingredients around his neck!" Paimon called out while pointing at the snake on his neck.

A sound of stifled laugh exited your throat catching the attention of Lumine but she waved it off as something else.

The snake scoffed at the sentence of Paimon making her squeak. "What a sorry state of affairs.. this little mascot is even more of a simpleton than Qiqi."
