(3RD POV)
[5 days passed since that day. Everything has returned to normal. Lumine and Musashi has gotten closer and Keqing also already confess her feelings to Musashi.]
Lumine: "....."

[But, even after everything went back to normal between them, things are getting even worse for Lumine after she met his brother, Aether, who already became a Prince of Abyss Order.
Paimon: "Oh, there you are!"

[Now, both Lumine and Paimon are standing at the small cliff where they could see the whole Liyue Harbor. Paimon knows Lumine still cannot believe that her brother has become her enemy.]
Paimon: "Are you okay? Paimon never imagined your brother‍ would have sided with the Abyss..."
Lumine: "I'm feeling a bit better... But, I still can't accept it..."

[Paimon could see the sadness in Lumine's face. She even tries to cheer her up.]
Paimon: "Well, keep your chin up, Lumine! Paimon believes in both of you. And when the going gets tough, the tough get going! Right?"
Lumine: "...Yeah. You're right."

[Lumine finally shows her smile, even just a bit. Paimon also smiles at Lumine. But then, she remembers what Aether said to them back at that cave.]
Paimon: "He‍ said we needed to "reach the end of our journey...". Paimon bets he still has lots more to tell us! And we won't find out what this "journey" is or where it will end unless we keep going!"
Lumine: "...Thank you. I'm glad to have you as a guide, Paimon."

[Paimon blushed in happiness. She chuckles a little, and...]
Paimon: "Hee-hee, then Paimon will be sure to keep up the good work! Although... where should we go next? If we want to continue with the journey... hmm..."

[Paimon tries to think for a second, but...]
Lumine: "I still need to find that god..."
Paimon: "Oh! You mean the god that took your brother‍ away in the first place..."

[Paimon nods her head twice as she agree with Lumine's plan.]
Paimon: "...You're right. After all, everything that followed... all this confusion... it all started with her. Well, we've ruled out two gods so far... The Anemo and Geo Archons. So, next..."
Lumine: "Let's go to Inazuma. We need to find the Electro Archon."

[Again, Paimon nods at Lumine's idea. But...]
Paimon: "Hmm... Paimon doesn't think we can simply walk into Inazuma. Zhongli said it was a closed nation. We'll have to find some other way in... Why don't we ask someone from Inazuma how to gain entrance?"

[Lumine and Paimon tries to think about someone who can help them. And...]
Lumine: "I'm sure there's someone we've met..."
Paimon: "Well... but, who can-"
Musashi: "I know someone who can help us."

[Both Lumine and Paimon glanced back and saw Musashi is walking towards them with a smile. Lumine swiftly approaches her.]
Lumine: "Musashi... Are you sure you are already fine?"
Musashi: "I'm fine, Lumine. See? I feel a whole lot better now."

[Lumine just nods her head and softly hugs Musashi's left arm. Paimon chuckled for few second, and...]
Paimon: "Say, Slime's Lover, you said you know someone that could help us. Who is that person?"
Musashi: "Oh yeah! About that... I know someone who can help us about going to Inazuma."
Lumine: "And that is...?"

[Musashi chuckled a bit.]
Musashi: "It's Atsuko. She in Liyue Harbor right now! She's from Inazuma."
Paimon: "Okay then! Let's go there and Let's see what she has to say!"
