Chapter 107: Emergency Food? No, a Foodie!
"So, you created this little one?"
Freya's face was full of question marks as she looked at the 'flying mascot' in front of her.
Especially since Paimon could hold a normal conversation and had clear logic.
She didn't seem like a 'puppet' at all.
And Ethan told her that he had created her by accident.
Is this really true?
However, Freya couldn't sense any trace of a 'lie'.
This left her a bit confused.
When did the world become so crazy that mortals had the power to create 'life'?
"Little one, what's your name?"
But, putting aside everything else, Paimon's appearance was undeniably top-notch.
After all, she was the mascot of the popular video game "Genshin Impact".
"My name is Paimon, the Traveler's companion and guide."
"Paimon, huh? What a cute little one."
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Paimon's body, especially her adorable little face.
It felt no different from real human skin.
Was Paimon really just a 'puppet'?
Being rubbed on the face like this by her, Paimon felt very uncomfortable and subconsciously looked at Ethan for help.
However, Ethan simply turned his head away, thinking that her sacrifice was for the greater good.
"I'm Freya, Ethan's goddess, little Paimon."
"Freya-sama~"
Paimon gave the silver-haired goddess a reluctant 'smile', but the more one looked at it, the more forced it seemed.
Freya didn't continue for too long and soon released Paimon.
Now that she was free, Paimon flew up and kept a distance from Freya.
This woman felt too dangerous, so she had to maintain a safe distance.
"Traveler, you're too much! You didn't even help me."
Then, Paimon flew in front of Ethan and accused him 'fiercely'.
"Freya-sama wouldn't hurt you. Besides, being loved by a goddess is a blessing that countless mortals dream of."
"I don't care, you're just bullying me."
"Then what do you want?"
"I'm hungry, I want to eat something delicious."
"Aren't you a Cursed Corpse, how can you be hungry? You only need to absorb my magic power to survive."
"Wuwuwu~, Traveler, you're not even willing to give Paimon food..."
At this moment, Paimon looked like a wronged child, with tears welling up in her big, watery eyes.
Ethan had no doubt that she would burst into tears in the next second.
"Alright, alright, let's eat. I'll take you to eat."
Ethan was speechless.
Where did Paimon learn this skill? She was only born last night.
What Ethan didn't know was that when he created Paimon, he was thinking too much and unintentionally instilled a lot of information into her mind.
"Paimon wants a feast!"
"Feast~ Feast~"
Ethan sighed looking at this.
Paimon's attribute as a foodie, although she was a Cursed Corpse, hadn't been lost at all.
Freya watched this scene with great curiosity.
It was simply too interesting.
A mere 'puppet' was so lifelike.
If she didn't know the truth, she wouldn't believe Paimon was just a 'puppet'.
"Freya-sama, I'm taking this little one to eat."
"Hmm, go ahead~"
Freya smiled mysteriously, looking at him with a knowing expression.
Ethan didn't think much of it because Paimon was already impatient.
She was acting like she was starving.
And, just like that, with a little cutie floating in the air beside him, Ethan left the Tower of Babel and arrived at the bustling street, where there were all kinds of stalls.
"Wow, so much delicious food! Traveler, I want to eat this~"
"Alright, alright~"
"Mmm~, so good! I want this too."
"Buy~"
"Traveler, I love you so much! I want all of these too."
"Buy them~ Buy them all~"
And in this way, one person and one emergency food started their gourmet journey.
Since Paimon wanted to eat from more than 80% of the stalls, Ethan generously bought a portion of everything.
After all, he was a rich man now.
Although he had spent 20 million valis out of the 25 million he had just received yesterday, he still had a few million left.
And now with 'Golden Rule', he would never be short of money again.
Just like that, a magical scene appeared on the bustling street of Orario.
A little cutie who looked like a 'fairy' was holding a pile of food and eating heartily, followed by a handsome young man carrying a large pile of food.
"Hmm? What's this?"
Holding a pile of delicacies, Paimon saw another stall at the corner of the street.
"These are Jagamarukun. Would you like one?"
The man working behind the stall exuded the aura of a 'warrior'.
"Jagamarukun, are they delicious?"
Paimon asked curiously, feeling like the food in her hands suddenly seemed less appealing compared to the one in front of her.
"Of course they're delicious! Would you like to try some?"
"Yes~"
"What flavor would you like?"
"Hmm~, I want one of each flavor."
Paimon said generously
Since she was going to eat, she might as well try out all flavors to find out which one she liked best.
Besides, since the Traveler was paying for it, why not eat for free?
Ethan, who was standing beside her, was speechless hearing this but had already gotten used to such a scene.
Along the way, Paimon's mouth hadn't stopped eating.
Moreover, the amount of food she had eaten was larger than the size of her body.
How did she manage to fit so much food into her little stomach?
And could Cursed Corpses even eat and digest human food?
Ethan didn't know about other Cursed Corpses, but looking at Paimon, she didn't seem uncomfortable at all, and even looked very happy and satisfied.
"Uh, one of each flavor? Little one, can you eat that much?"
"Don't underestimate me, Paimon is very powerful."
"This~"
The stall owner subconsciously looked at Ethan.
After all, to others, Paimon looked like a mischievous child, and Ethan considered the parent.
Seeing his questioning gaze, Ethan smiled helplessly and nodded.
"Alright~"
Seeing that the 'parent' had agreed, he didn't say anything more.
After all, this was a big order.
Soon, he packed all the different flavors of Jagamarukun and handed them over.
Although they were hot because they were freshly made, Paimon couldn't resist the temptation and took a bite, her face filled with happiness.
For Paimon, having delicious food was the happiest moment in life.
This was the 'persona' Ethan had subconsciously given her, and she had now fully accepted it.
Watching the Jagamarukun disappear into Paimon's stomach one by one, the stall owner was dumbfounded.
Good heavens, this little girl could really eat so much!
