Author's Note:
Hello my dear readers, those who follow me know that I am a fan of Genshin Impact. A couple of weeks ago, I managed to get Raiden Shogun.
Now I have three Archons at my disposal: Furina, Venti, Raiden Shogun.
Furina and Venti are at level 90, while Raiden Shogun has reached level 83.
To celebrate, I decided to write the story about the Traveler's Adventures in Inazuma.
I'll probably have to do the story dedicated to Mondstadt too, so as not to neglect Venti.

POV Narrator
Situated atop the cliffs at the southern tip of Narukami Island, exists Inazuma City, this place is the seat of power of the Shogunate and Shogun Raiden.
The city is renowned for its low crime rate and the presence of numerous family-owned businesses, and is considered the most vibrant and prosperous area in the nation.
Most of Inazuma's population lives here, and as its numbers continue to grow, the city tends to expand outward.
Two important characters are walking through the streets of Inazuma City, their names are Paimon and Traveler.
Paimon, she physically has a small and graceful body, which gives her the appearance of a fairy.
She has thick white hair cut just above her shoulders, dark purple eyes, and pale skin.
He wears a white long-sleeved sweater, a midnight blue cape dotted with stars, white socks and white boots.
Rose gold embroidery and decorative cuffs are attached to the sweater, boots and sleeves. A gold triquetra is embroidered on the front of the sweater.
Paimon's accessories are a dark blue star-shaped hairpin and a rose gold tiara that levitates above her head like a halo.
As it moves, you can see a trail of small floating constellations.
The person who plays the role of the Traveler in this timeline/universe is called, Bruce Bel Bahamut Belmont, but no one other than Paimon knows his True Name.
The Traveler has the appearance of an effeminate boy in late puberty.
He is 175 centimeters tall and has an androgynous build, which makes it very difficult to determine his gender.
The Traveler's face has soft, delicate features, thin eyelashes, and facial features reminiscent of Artoria Pendragon or Morgan Le Fay, some of her ancestors through her maternal grandmother.
Her skin color is bright, milky white, smooth and free from imperfections.
The Traveler has beautiful, very long, inky black hair, kept in a variation of the Hime cut with the addition of a couple of braids.
The hairstyle consists of a front fringe, straight side locks, long up to the cheeks that hide the ears.
The Traveler's long hair is held in two braids: a front braid that covers the left side of his face and a back braid that falls behind his head, past his shoulders.
The back braid is thick and intricate, as if the Traveler were a relative of Rapunzel; the braid reaches knee height.
This braid is decorated with seven long red threads made of an unknown material.
At the end of the braid is a large, thick, ring-shaped silver accessory, decorated with runes of an alphabet unknown to Teyvat.
The back braid is simple and elegant: it covers the Traveler's left eye, then becomes thinner and continues until it reaches the heart area.
This braid is decorated with a purple ribbon and at the end there are four silver beads.
The right eye is visible and shows a light gray coloration, although it can appear silver in the right light; the pupil is amethyst purple.
He wears a black and purple suit with several silver accessories, such as rings, bracelets, tie clips, and brooches.
Around the Traveler's multifunctional belt is an imitation of a Vision Electro.
The most eye-catching piece of clothing is his leather coat, which looks like it came straight out of a cyberpunk world, colored mostly black with neon purple stripes and topped with a hood trimmed with silver feathers.
On the back of the coat is a fake Delusion.
This accessory, along with the False Vision, serve to explain to the masses why the Traveler can use multiple elements.
"Traveler, Paimon isn't sure if it's a good idea to play with the Signora's Cryo Delusion." The Little Fairy said, slightly worried that her traveling companion might suffer side effects.
"La Signora, The 8th of the Eleven Harbingers, it was Raiden Ei who killed her, but I was the one who defeated her, I have every right to a trophy and do what I want with it." Said the Traveler, holding the deceased Harbinger's Cryo Delusion in his left hand.
"Paimon is not referring to the right to the loot, but to one's own safety." Said the Little Fairy, insisting that it is not a good idea to play with a Delusion.
"Little Fairy, before I set foot on Teyva, I was exposed to [All the World's Evil] and came out of it mostly unscathed, the side effects are quite positive, I gained immunity to curses, an exponential increase in the use of dark magic, and an advantage in fighting against the divine. I can handle a Delusion." The Traveler said with a confident voice.
The Planeswalker who has crossed countless worlds and lived a thousand adventures since adolescence has wielded a thousand artifacts more dangerous than a Delusion.
"The more Paimon learns about your past, the more she worries about you." The Little Fairy said, convinced that the Traveler is still alive today only by a combination of divine miracle and superhuman stubbornness.
"I will certainly have to censor some of my stories, you are too sensitive, Little Fairy." Said the Traveler, making a note to avoid certain more macabre details or those that might impress a person in the wrong way.
"Can Paimon at least tell you what you want to do with the Signora's Cryo Delusion?" The Little Fairy asks, not understanding what the Traveler's goal is this time.
"As of now, I have recovered 33% of my base power, regaining the right to wield wind, earth, and lightning, as well as receiving back my other abilities." Said the Traveler, raising his right hand, invoking small spheres composed of Anemo, Geo, Electro energy.
"Paimon take a guess, you want to use one of your recovered abilities to do something with the Geo Delusion." The Little Fairy said, having a bad feeling.
"I want to see if I can use the Delusion as a pseudo-spiritual core in a necromancy ritual with some elements of a demonic summoning ritual." The Traveler said, showing his sorcerer side that always wants to try new things.
Paimon stops completely for a moment, then continues flying near the Traveler, albeit with a more anxious expression.
"Paimon does not agree with the use of dark magic to bring back a Harbinger as some sort of Vengeful Spirit in your service." The Little Fairy said, trying to change the Traveler's mind.
"I don't see the problem, I often call upon Heroic Spirits to help me, they too are fundamental Ghosts." Said the Traveler, not realizing the difference in terms of ethics of using between the two types of ghosts.
"Heroic Spirits are good people, Harbingers are bad people, a ghost Harbinger will be worse than usual." Paimon said, gesturing with his hands.
'I miss talking to someone who knows about the arcane arts, they would understand that my project is not dangerous and it does not matter who is used as the foundation for the creation.' The Traveler thinks, feeling a sense of loss at not having a witch as a companion.
The Traveler and Paimon's walk brought them near the Statue of the Omnipresent God, which is in front of the Tenshukaku.
"Traveler, look who stands before the statue, Thoma!" exclaims the Little Fairy, joyfully, pointing her hand towards one of the friendliest people in Inazuma.
The Traveler shifts his gaze to where Paimon is pointing, and sees Thoma talking to a couple of important-looking people with worried expressions.
'La Signora, you will remain in the afterlife for a while longer, now I have to worry about yet another problem that appears on my way.' Thinks the Traveler, sure that he will be busy for the next while.
A hero never takes a break, even when he wants to.
XXX
Thoma is a tall, handsome young man. He has green eyes, pale skin, and messy strawberry blonde hair, short except for a shoulder-length lock at the nape of his neck.
The long part of Thoma's hair is tied in a ponytail by a red cord with tassels fading to tan at the ends.
Thoma's outfit is a fusion of Western-style attire with parts of samurai armor.
He wears a decorative, red and black cropped jacket over a black shirt, along with a pair of silver dog tags hanging around his neck.
The buttoned cuffs of his gold-trimmed kote-like sleeves are patterned with a fleur-de-lis design.
He wears a black metal headband on his head, with gold-accented horns resembling the maedate (front crest) of a kabuto helmet.
He wears his Pyro Vision on his belt, in addition to a kusazuri (tassel) adorned with flaming Kamisato Clan crests on the other hip.
The same crest is marked on the poleyns of his boot-laced suneate (shin guards) with tabi shoes. He also has small, red studded earrings.
As the Traveler and Paimon approach the scene, Thoma is talking to Kujou Kamaji and Ippei.
The first is a member of the Kujou Clan and an official of the Tenryou Commission. He is the son of Kujou Takayuki, the Tenryou Commissioner. He is in charge of the government affairs of the Tenryou Commission in Inazuma City.
The second is a simple servant of the first who does not deserve further investigation.
"If the Tenryou Commission does not intervene in managing the storm, the consequences could be catastrophic." Thoma said, worried about what will happen if the situation is not handled.
"It's not that we're not willing to do our part. It's just that we don't have a free hand at the moment. I hope you can understand." Kamaji replies, unable to do anything about the problem.
"Exactly. So let's continue the discussion and see if we can find a solution." Ippei said, adding his two cents to the conversation.
The Traveler and Paimon have gotten close enough to make their presence known.
"Hey, Thoma! What's going on?" Paimon asks, making the first move.
"Red Butler." The Traveler said, nodding in acknowledgement to Thoma.
The Kamisato clan's servant can't help but smile at the sight of the great hero and his little fairy companion.
"Good to see you again, Traveler, Paimon. We were just talking about the impact you had on Inazuma." Thoma said with a happier, less worried expression.
"Red Butler, you shouldn't lie, I have pretty good hearing, you were talking about storms and problems to solve." Said the Traveler, believing that Thoma was praising him to get him on his good side.
Thoma smiles embarrassedly as he rubs his head with his hand.
"Be careful, Thoma, the Traveler is not only a pretty face who is good at fighting, but also a Genius Detective." Paimon said, giving a little friendly warning to Thoma.
"I'll make a note of that." Thoma said, no longer embarrassed.
"Greetings. Thank you both again for delivering Miss Hiiragi's letter that time." Kamaji said, addressing the Traveler and Paimon cordially.
"No problem, Paimon is used to helping people, we do it all the time." Said the Little Fairy, smiling kindly, almost looking like a little angel.
"To be precise, I help people, I don't know why but I help them, while the white fairy flies around me and cheers me on or entertains me." The Traveler tells how things really work.
The Planeswalker is the hero, and the Faerie is the mascot.
"Ah, so they are your friends. I am Master Kamaji's servant. Call me Ippei!" Ippei said, making the introductions.
The Traveler didn't even glance at Kamaji's servant, considering him as valuable as a pebble on the road.
"Back to the main topic, what problem are you facing and can you afford my help again?" Said the Traveler, willing to help, but at an acceptable price.
"Back to the main topic, what problem are you facing and can you afford my help again?" Said the Traveler, willing to help, but in exchange for a reward and a favor.
"Paimon doesn't feel right about making Thoma pay, he's one of our best friends in Inazuma." The Little Fairy said, wanting to help Thoma without asking for anything in return, well, except a little dinner.
"Mixing private and professional life is a mistake. But if Paimon insists, I will make a small discount." Said the Traveler, willing to make concessions.
"Well, the Triple Commission's job was to gather information for the Shogun and carry out the tasks assigned by him." Thoma said, simply mentioning how the government of Inazuma works.
"But recently he announced that he wanted to spend some time alone and thinking. Since he refuses to have visitors, there is no one to tell us what to do. We all know that the Shogun needs some quiet time to think. The only problem is that, in the meantime, the storm at sea is intensifying." Thoma explains the problem, the Shogun does not want visitors and a natural disaster is approaching towards Inazuma.
"Your Shogun, she is Electro Archon, the storm surrounding Inazuma is her creation, she is connected to it. The fact that the storm is approaching, while the Shogun has isolated herself to reflect, is a sign that she is going through a rough time." Said the Traveler, having seen his share of people who alter the weather based on emotion.
"Once she calms down the storm will return to its original position." Said the Traveler, believing that it is a temporary problem.
"I would like to believe you, Traveler, but in the last 500 years of Inazuma history, the storm has never changed shape or size. If the storm reacts to the Shogun's emotions, then wouldn't it have reacted before?" Thoma asks, not knowing the truth about his Archon.
Only a select few know that Shogun Raiden is just a puppet working on a set schedule, while Ei, the True Archon, she meditated for centuries in her own mental/spiritual realm.
The storm did not react to Ei's emotions, because before Ei did not come out of his realm and stop meditating long enough for it to have any effect.
"In the five hundred years of history of the Land of Lightning, not a Traveler has appeared who defeated the Shogun in a duel, convincing her to change her mind through a series of blows. One way or another, I am one of the causes of whatever the Goddess Hikikomori is going through." Said the Traveler, not afraid to insult or speak ill of Inazuma's Goddess of Eternity.
Kamaji and Ippei look wide-eyed at the Traveler who dares to speak about the Shogun in this way.
Thoma knowing the Traveler is not surprised that he does not fear or worship the Goddess of Inazuma.
"We live in unprecedented times, I wouldn't be surprised if the Shogun had a change of heart." Thoma said, hoping that the change will be positive for the whole of Inazuma.
The Little Fairy, slightly frightened by the idea of the approaching storm and the Shogun who has isolated herself to think, imagines the worst.
Maybe Paimon has been around the Traveler too long, who is a pessimistic/paranoid person.
"Could it be that the Electro Archon's will has changed and he now wants to destroy Inazuma? Or is this his way of taking revenge on us?" Paimon asks, approaching the Traveler, as if he were a life preserver during a storm at sea.
"Talking about my project must have stressed you out. Fairy, use your head, the Goddess of Eternity has dedicated herself to this country for half a millennium, a single defeat by a foreigner will not turn her love into hate." Said the Traveler, having yet to meet an Archon who does not care about his kingdom and his people.
"Oh, yes, you're right. If he really wanted revenge on us, he could just strike us with lightning right here." Paimon said, looking up at the clouds as if they were dangerous weapons.
"Which would be pretty scary, too!" Paimon exclaims, flinging himself down and hugging the Traveler's back.
"Paimon, are you really afraid of the Goddess of Eternity? You didn't have this problem with the God of Freedom and the God of Contracts." Said the Traveler, having seen the Little Fairy bickering with Venti and Zhongli, especially with Venti.
"First of all, the Anemo Archon and the Geo Archon, the two of them are annoying at worst, not threatening. Second, Paimon is not afraid of the Electro Archon, she lost against us. So why on earth would Paimon be afraid?" The Little Fairy replies, trying to save some of her dignity.
"I could believe you if you didn't hide behind me, if I gave you ropes you could pass as a child's backpack." Comments the Traveler, unable to be fooled by the Little Fairy.
"Paimon's just, you know, a little... worried that she might be angry. Yeah, that's all, just a little worried." Paimon said, rephrasing his words.
"You know, I disagree with your words, Paimon. Barbatos is cute and quite funny; Morax is charming and cultured; I haven't had the chance to know Beelzebul well yet, but she doesn't strike me as a vindictive woman." The Traveler said, having a mostly positive opinion of the three Archons he has met so far.
'The Traveler is certainly a unique person, he speaks of the Archons of Mondstadt and Liyue, as if they were normal people. But isn't the Archon of Liyue dead?' Thoma thinks, understanding with each interaction that the Traveler is no ordinary man.
Not wanting to ask uncomfortable questions, Thoma gets the conversation back on track.
"Paimon, I don't think you need to worry about lightning or the storm. The reason we're worried is because we've never seen the Almighty Shogun's will waver before." Thoma explains the true origins of their worries.
"Considering that the god of Liyue passed away not long ago, it's hard not to consider this a bad sign." Kamaji said, joining in the discussion.
'In reality, Morax faked his own death to become Zhongli and enjoy his retirement.' The Traveler thinks, knowing the truth about what happened to the Geo Archon.
"Many now believe that the storm is intensifying because the Almighty Shogun is having health problems. The fact that he is not seeing anyone at the moment makes us fear that the situation will only get worse." Kamaji explains what the masses think about the Shogun's current situation.
"Archons do not get sick overnight, they are elemental entities with great powers, they are difficult to kill, especially if they are strong and stubborn like Beelzebul." Said the Traveler, instantly rejecting this theory.
"Before rumors begin to spread, Miss Kamisato sent me here to discuss countermeasures with the Tenryou Commission. We need to make sure we are prepared to deal with chaos, if and when it comes." Thoma said, preferring to be cautious, knowing that the entire Inazuma is in a delicate position.
"Unfortunately, the reality is that the Tenryou Commission is going through a period of deep internal instability. The Kujou clan has lost control over the other clans." Kamaji said reluctantly, having his share of problems to deal with.
"Huh? Why?" asks the white fairy curiously.
"Paimon, don't you remember that the Kujou Clan conspired with the Fatui and committed several other crimes?" Said the Traveler, not having a short memory like his fairy companion.
"The Traveler is right, the Kujou clan is still awaiting the Shogun's trial for conspiring with the Fatui and nearly destroying the entire Inazuma. Everyone knows that a change of Commissioner is inevitable. It's only a matter of time before the Almighty Shogun issues his decree." Kamaji said, confirming that his family is in one of the worst situations ever.
"To put it simply, no one will take orders from the Kujou Clan anymore, but there is still work to be done." Thoma said, presenting another side of the problem.
"What is happening now is due to my inability. I failed to discover the truth in time and I failed to stop my father. And now, as the head of the clan, I am unable to quell the disturbances." Kamaji said, blaming himself for everything that is happening.
"Don't blame yourself, Master. You must at least hold out until your elder brother returns. The Kujou Clan cannot tolerate any more instability in its current situation." Ippei said, trying to help his lord feel better.
"Yes, you're right. Masahito has enough on his plate right now. I shouldn't cause him any more trouble." Kamaji replies, not wanting to make this delicate situation worse with his guilt and incompetence.
'I hate politics, the only good thing about being stuck in Teyvat is that I don't have to worry about the plots of the aristocracy and the church of the seven. But once I return to Ysatnaf, I will have to clear out certain problematic elements.' Thinks the Traveler, knowing that one day he will return home and will have to solve a lot of problems.
"Okay. Thoma, let's resume this discussion in a few days. Now I have to go find Takatsukasa Susumu, head of the Takatsukasa clan. He's the only one who can take charge of the situation at the moment." Kamaji said, wanting to return to his clan's home and try to help.
"Mmm... I suppose so. Okay, no problem. A quick resolution of the Tenryou Commission's internal problems is also in our best interest." Thoma replies, knowing that such problems cannot be solved in a single day.
A few seconds later, Kamaji leaves, Ippei like a good servant chases after his master.
"If you think about it, both the storm situation and the problem with the Tenryou Commission were caused by the Shogun's decision to take a break, right?" Paimon said, realizing that all of this is happening because of the Goddess of Eternity's isolation.
"Yes, you are right, Paimon, you have been a careful little fairy today, I will give you a double desert tonight." Said the Traveler, while stroking the Little Fairy's head, rewarding her good behavior.
"Paimon is happy to be rewarded!" exclaims the Little Fairy, enjoying the pats on her head.
"But Paimon is also worried about what's happening in Inazuma, if things continue like this, people will start to panic." The Little Fairy confesses, losing (slightly) her appetite when she thinks of a possible popular revolt or mass panic.
Clearly, the Traveler's constant presence has an effect on Paimon.
"Red Butler, I see that Inazuma needs help once again, will you do it alone this time or do you need some advice?" asks the Traveler, stopping spoiling Paimon, focusing on business.
The Little Fairy flies high, placing herself to the right of the Traveler and slightly above his shoulder.
The Traveler snapped his fingers, and Paimon began his show.
"When life gets too strange, too impossible, too scary, there's always one last hope." Paimon said in a dramatic voice, making dramatic movements with his arms.
"When all else fails, there are one pair of Adventurers who are always on the go, and they will be the best and most capable Adventurers you will ever know: Traveler and Paimon." The White Fairy declares, flying high, waving her arms in the air.
"We specialize in saving countries, defeating the Fatui, dealing with Archons, and providing assistance to the Vision Bearers." The Traveler said, walking up to Thoma, pulling a business card out of thin air as if he were a stage magician.
"You didn't do that the last time Inazuma needed your help." Thoma comments, amused by this little spectacle, as he grabs the business card.
"I wasn't in the mood then, today I'm in a good mood." The Traveler replies, with his usual stoicism, making it difficult to understand his mood unless you are Paimon.
"Do you think you can find a solution to the problem with the Shogun?" Thoma asks, not wanting to hand an impossible problem over to the Traveler, even though he has done so in the past.
"I know where the Hikikomori Goddess lives, I just have to kick down the door, give her a couple of slaps, and if that doesn't work, punch her in the face." The Traveler said stoically, but his lips moved into an almost smile.
"I don't think violence is a viable option." Thoma said, with a slightly worried expression, not wanting the Traveler to fight the Shogun again.
"If things get out of hand, I can solve everything with a beheading." The Traveler said with alarming seriousness.
"Paimon is getting tired when he hears that cutting off heads is on the list of options. Traveler, why are you obsessed with decapitation?" asks the Little Fairy, wanting to know why a severed head is a solution to a thousand different problems.
"Because I have French origins." The Traveler replies, trying to make a joke. Unfortunately, he is on Teyvat and they do not know about France and its history of the Reign of Terror and the guillotine.
"What's a Frenchman?" asks Thoma, raising an eyebrow.
"Paimon doesn't know, but he'll probably learn it someday." Said the Little Fairy, who every few days hears a new curiosity coming out of the Traveler's mouth.
"I don't have a fixation on decapitation, it's just that in my experience, 83 times out of 100, decapitation is a move that kills the enemy forever." Said the Traveler, speaking from his own experience.
"What survives decapitation?" Thoma asks, not knowing of a creature capable of living without a head.
"If I told you, you'll probably never sleep soundly again." The Traveler declares, knowing that his career as an Occult Detective/Vampire and Monster Hunter has allowed them to see the worst the night has to offer.
"If you want to help Inazuma, you can try to get the Shogun out of the Tenshukaku, the people would calm down if they saw the Shogun around with their own eyes again." Thoma said, suggesting a more practical and peaceful approach.
"I will do as you suggest, but personally I would have preferred a more violent method." The Traveler replies, accepting Thoma's suggestion.
"Paimon is worried, Traveler because you want to fight against the Electro Archon again, wasn't the previous conflict enough for you?" asks the White Fairy, worried that her best friend might get into trouble, worse trouble than usual.
"I am not satisfied with the outcome of my last duel with the Goddess of Eternity." The Traveler confesses, crossing his arms.
"But you didn't win?" Thoma asks, not understanding how one can be sad about a victory.
"Yes, I won, but not the way I wanted. First I had to face La Signora, The 8th of the Eleven Harbingers, which took away some of my energy." The Traveler begins to explain his dissatisfaction.
"My fight against the Goddess of Eternity started out against me, then Tamamo-no-Mae decided to support me with her magic, then Yae Miko also intervened, and finally, I received a power-up from the Visions locked away in the Statue of the Omnipresent God." The Traveler lists everything he didn't like during his fight against the Electro Archon.
"I have won, but I have won thanks to the support of two Fox Priestesses and a strange phenomenon caused by the Visions of the people of Inazuma. I wish to defeat the Goddess of Inazuma alone in a one-on-one duel without outside interference, be they friend or foe. Only when I have won using only my own strength, only then will I be satisfied with my victory." The Traveler concludes, demonstrating his own pride as a warrior.
"Traveler, I am not a samurai with my own code of conduct, but I understand what you say. However, I ask that you help Inazuma and put aside your desire for an honorable duel with the Shogun, at least until things calm down." Thoma said reluctantly, feeling bad about preventing the Traveler from fulfilling his personal goal.
The hero who saved the country and helped decades of people, maybe a hundred, cannot follow his ambitions because of the greater good.
"I can wait, I won't die of old age any time soon and neither will the Goddess of Eternity, one day I will have my duel, but first I must save the day." Said the Traveler, reasonable enough to know when to do or not do what he wants.
"Thank you very much, Traveler. I still owe you one more thing." Thoma said, bowing his head.
"You still owe me a favor and a payment, after all I don't work for free." Said the Traveler, wanting a reward for his services, after all he is no holy hero.
"What do you wish for, Traveler?" asks Thoma, willing to give or do much in exchange for the great hero's services.
"Red Butler, I'm coming to the Kamisato Clan Manor next Saturday, I want a five-course dinner, the presence of Princess Crane, and the best guest room you have." The Traveler explains what his payment will be for this task.
"Lady Ayaka, you will be happy with this event." Thoma said, quite happy to pay such a reward.
"Paimon will also be happy, nothing better than seeing his friends again, eating his fill and sleeping with a roof over his head." Exclaims the Little Fairy, gladly accepting this form of payment instead of the Mora.
"If the task of pacifying the Shogun becomes more difficult than expected, I will have to attend more dinners at the Kamisato estate." Said the Traveler, adding a small clause to this contract.
"It means I'll have to improve my cooking. Good luck, Traveler and Paimon, I hope to hear your results soon." Thoma said, before walking towards the Kamisato mansion, having to break the news to Lady Ayaka.
Now, Paimon and the Traveler are alone again.
"We have a new task to complete, Paimon, do you happen to have an idea on how to start this little adventure?" asks the Traveler, wanting to see what the Little Fairy can come up with this time.
"According to Paimon, there is only one person who might have the chance to see the Shogun while he is in solitary confinement. Yae Miko!" Fatina said, confident that she had a good idea.
"I see it's one of your good days." The Traveler said, patting Paimon's head, rewarding his good behavior.
"Let's take a tour of the Narukami Grand Shrine!" Paimon exclaims, enjoying his reward.
