"I don't think you'd be willing to leave even if you were discovered." Ying put her hands on her hips and looked at the greasy-mouthed Paimon expressionlessly as she complained.
At this moment, Paimon's hands were completely occupied by various rice wife snacks, and her cheeks were still bulging even when she spoke.
"Gulu! Hehe, you can't blame me for this. Who knew Daozuma City actually has free food and drink!"
"That something..., the guy named Kamisato Ayato, if we see him, we will help him complete a commission for free!"
Paimon almost took off with joy when he thought about free food and drink all day long.
I heard that it was because Inazuma was holding some kind of festival, and all the food and drinks for that day were taken care of by a big shot named Kamisato Ayato.
Such a good person is really rare in the world!
"That's a good thing. Since he treated me to food for a day, it's not impossible to help him complete a commission for free." Ying smoothly took the octopus balls handed over by the stall owner, turned around and left.
The feeling of not having to pay is really great!
I don’t know if Ayato Kamisato would cry and faint in the toilet if he knew that he had successfully obtained the opportunity to commission Ying for free in just a few meals.
Ying and Paimon followed the flow of people. This was the densest and most energetic flow of people they had seen since arriving at Inazuma.
There was one thing that puzzled Ying and Paimon. There were so many sergeants standing guard nearby to maintain order, so why didn't anyone come out to arrest them?
What Ying and Paimon experienced now was exactly what Ember had experienced before. Ying was carrying a Paimon, so he was easily identifiable, and Ember was wearing full plate armor, so he was also easy to recognize.
But no one can find them. If we really want to dig deeper, I'm afraid we have to talk about Inazuma's excellent matching mechanism.
"Wow! There are so many people here!" Following the flow of people, Ying and Paimon noticed that the flow of people was getting denser and denser.
This gave them the illusion of returning to Eat Tiger Rock. No! There are even more people here than in Chihuyan, as if the entire Daozuma City has gathered here.
"The festival has begun!" Someone shouted loudly, and the chaotic crowd fell silent instantly.
Ying stood on tiptoes, but she saw nothing except the moving heads, so Ying called Paimon in a low voice:
"Paimon——"
"understand!"
Paimon cleared the food in his hands with three strokes, and then held it with his hands and Ying's raised hands.
"Haha -" Paimon took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and then slowly flew up with Ying.
Although this only lifted Ying's toes a few dozen centimeters off the ground, it was enough for Ying to see what was happening ahead.
There was an open stage in front of the crowd, and standing on the stage were a group of witches wearing witch costumes.
They seemed to be dancing some kind of sacrificial dance. Both the expressions on their faces and their movements looked extremely elegant and solemn.
Coupled with the tones played behind the stage, it makes people feel like gods are watching here.
I don’t know if the dance is attractive, but Ying’s movements are indeed eye-catching.
Many people couldn't help but make way for her when they saw Ying's hand. Ever since, Ying just laughed while dragging Paimon forward, and soon came to the front of the crowd.
Standing at the front, you can naturally see more things. In addition to the stage directly in front of her, Ying's sight also included the auditoriums on both sides.
These seats gradually become more luxurious from low to high. Ying glanced briefly and saw that the people at the top of the table were all dressed in luxurious clothes and looked to be of extraordinary status.
I don't know if it was my imagination, but when I looked at the people at the top of the table, there was a girl with silver-blue hair whose eyes seemed to light up.
Ying scratched his head and struggled for a while, thinking that it was probably because he hadn't slept well for too long and his eyesight was blurry.
Shen Xin watched the various performances at the front for a while. After the initial freshness wore off, she felt that the performance items were not so attractive.
"Ying, do you like it? If so, how about we go shopping in the snack street?" When Ying was bored, Paimon tapped Ying's back.
"We think the same thing!" Ying raised her hand, and Paimon cooperated by clapping his hands with Ying!
"You are worthy of being my best partner!" Paimon put his hands behind his back and grinned foolishly, then he and Ying squeezed in the opposite direction of the crowd.
After finally squeezing their way out of the dense crowd and planning to have a big meal, they saw someone approaching.
It was a woman, usually dressed as a wife. Despite this, Ying still put her hands behind her back with caution.
If anything happened, even if Paimon wanted to stay, she would pull him away by the halo on his head.
"You are..." Seeing that the woman was indeed coming towards him, and unable to avoid it, Ying had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask.
"Your distinguished guests don't need to be so vigilant. It's just that my lady wants to go to [Wuyouting] with you in the evening." The woman took out a luxurious invitation card from her arms and handed it to Ying's hand.
"Wuyouting is Daozhu's famous wine shop. You, distinguished guest, will be able to find the location if you pay a little attention..."
"I do not drink."
Ying shook her head and sent the invitation back.
"Haha, actually my lady doesn't drink either, but Wu Youting's food is really top-notch. Don't you want to try it?"
The woman's eyes twitched and she pushed the invitation back. As soon as Ying took the invitation into her hand, the woman disappeared as if she was running away.
While running, she did not forget to say: "Today evening, please don't forget our distinguished guests!"
"Invite me to dinner as soon as you come..." Ying looked at the invitation in her hand, somewhat confused about its owner's intention.
"Forget it, let's fill our stomachs first, then we'll be able to cope with it!"
Soon, Ying thought of a way to deal with it. Then she took Paimeng Hu to eat Haisai.
……
At night, Inazuma Castle today is not as quiet as before - at least not in part.
The streets of Daozuma City are ablaze with fire. The flow of people coming and going is so lively!
"Wu Youting..." Ying followed the direction pointed by the passerby and came to an izakaya.
She held the invitation in her hand and looked around with Paimon.
Soon, someone noticed the two of them.
"Princess Egret's distinguished guest is here. Please come quickly. Please come quickly. The princess has been waiting for a long time."
A woman dressed as a waiter came to Ying and Paimon and led them to the izakaya.
"Princess Egret?" There was a trace of doubt in Ying's eyes. Didn't Dao's wife only have General Thunder and Lightning? Could it be that she gave birth to a baby?
"Ah! Princess White Heron is actually Miss Ayaka Kamisato, the younger sister of the head of the Kamisato family. It's just that everyone loves her, so we continue to call her that."
The waiter was confused when he saw her, and after looking at her dress, he realized that this might be a foreigner who was extremely rare in Inazuma nowadays, so he explained.
"The sister of the head of the Kamisato family?!" Ying was startled, is she so proud?
During the day, I was invited to dinner by the head of the Kamisato family, Kamisato Ayato, and at night, I was invited to dinner by the white egret princess Kamisato Ayaka. Do the Kamisato family like to invite people to dinner so much?
After passing the noisy first floor, a few people arrived at the quiet second floor.
"This is it. Please come in. If you need anything, please let me know." The waiter led Paimon and Ying to the door of a private room and stopped.
"Okay... okay." Ying nodded, then pushed the door open and entered.
"The famous traveler, we finally meet."
"Introduce yourself, Kamisato Ayaka."
After closing the door, Ying and Paimon saw the girl kneeling on the tatami.

"Here, try this!"
"oh oh!"
Ying watched as Ayaka Kamisato handed him a bunch of three-color meatballs across from him, and took it belatedly.
However, since she and Paimon Hu had been eating seaweed all day today, Ying had lost her appetite at this time.
"Gulu!"
Vaguely, Ying heard the sound of swallowing behind her, and she knew it was coming from Paimon without even thinking about it.
Throwing the ball in her hand to Paimon, Ying winked at her.
【Do you know her? 】
【do not know. 】
Paimon and Ying were communicating silently with their eyes, but it was a pity that their eyelids were almost cramped and they didn't see any explanation coming out of the discussion.
"By the way, have we known each other before?" Looking at the rather earnest Kamisato Ayaka, Ying pulled her hair and asked.
"Well..., I do know famous travelers, but you may not know me that well." Kamisato Ayaka put down the tableware in her hand and said with a dignified smile.
"Then you generously invited us to dinner. You are worthy of being Kamisato Ayato's younger sister. How brave!" Paimon praised Kamisato Ayaka while eating meatballs.
But when Kamisato Ayaka heard Paimon's words, the confusion on her face became even worse than Ying's.
"Why do you know my brother's name? Could it be that you were familiar with each other before?"
"He invited us to dinner as soon as he entered the city. Of course such a good man should remember his name!" Pamon responded excitedly.
If you recognize him on the street one day, you might get another free lunch. Paimon never misses an opportunity to freeload.
"So, why are you looking for us, Ayaka Kamisato?" Yingquan pretended that Paimon, who was eating and drinking beside her, was not there. She looked at Ayaka Kamisato opposite and asked in confusion.
Now she knew that the girl with shining eyes she saw off the stage was Kamisato Ayaka.
But it seemed that she had met Kamisato Ayaka at that time, and she had never even heard of Kamisato Ayaka's name before.
"Just call me Ayaka."
"Okay... okay, Ayaka."
Ying tilted her head slightly, avoiding Kamisato Ayaka's eager gaze. She involuntarily took a few steps back quietly.
Why does the way Ayaka looks at her look a little strange?
Ying looked around, she wanted to escape from this Wuyou Pavilion now.
"Sorry, I'm rude." Kamisato Ayaka saw Ying tilting her head and immediately realized that there was something wrong with her behavior.
She converged her eyes and apologized to him.
Looking down at the desk, Kamisato Ayaka noticed that Paimon was the only one using chopsticks. As for Ying, she was looking around, looking absent-minded.
