"And so, those who wish to come with us, we will head out tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. I would advise you all that this is not a decision anyone should take lightly. This trip might be dangerous and who knows when we'll return. So if you don't wish to come with me, then I'll understand it."     

Yomite's voice was powerful as he scanned the room from one to person.     

There were no objections; instead most of the crew just sat quietly looking forward toward him expectantly waiting for his next words.     

Except for Paimon, he had gathered everyone in the living room to explain the situation with Lisa.     

He took another moment before continuing: "Fischl, I'm not sure what the situation is with your family? Do you need to let them know you're going away, or are they even currently aware of where you are?"     

He was Fischl's lover now, yet her parents didn't have any idea of their relationship yet.     

They did meet a few times, but back then, they weren't yet together. They simply knew that she was a member of his group of adventurous friends, not that she had a partner.     

Not to mention, a boyfriend who dated multiple women already!     

The parents of other girls in his group are either missing, passed away, or simply away at the moment...so he could only wonder about Fischl's parents.     

But Fischl was confident that her parents would not be upset if they knew about her romantic relationships.     

Especially when it came to Yomite Hissha, the Hero of Mondstadt who helped save countless people. They could never disapprove of a person like him. She hoped regardless.     

"Well," she began, slightly hesitant. "Meine Kaiser und Kaiserin aren't aware of our relationship...This Prinzessin doesn't wish to bring shame upon herself by being horribly teased...yet at the same time, I think it might benefit our love life if I made them informed."     

Fischl paused for a moment as she looked down.     

The thought of how her parents would react if they discovered that she was seeing the city's Hero caused her cheeks to flush with shame and fear.     

They already teased her when she told them she finally found friends after joining this party; she was unsure of what they would say if they found out she was going out with him.     

They would tease her to death on every subject possible. She could imagine her mom telling her she wanted grandchildren soon, and her father wanting to hear tales of heroic deeds done during adventures. It would drive her insane.     

"Oh, I get it, come here for a second," Yomite replied with an understanding smile.     

He softly touched his lap, and Fischl understood immediately.     

Shyly, she sat down on Yomite's left thigh while he wrapped his arms around her, embracing her with such tenderness she felt her heart flutter.     

"Don't worry too much about your parents. I can talk to them if you want me to. I'm sure everything will be fine, Amy." He kissed softly against her hair, as she panicked about being called Amy like this in front of everyone else.     

"P-Please don't call me 'Amy' in front of others..." she whispered into his chest, abashed and facing away from the rest of the girls.     

Due to his shameless behavior against her, her Prinzessin Fischl act was falling apart once more; nonetheless, the sense of comfort and affection he gave her was so reassuring that it was difficult not to melt at him all over again and forgive him anything.     

"I'll make them understand," Yomite continued without letting go off her embrace, "No worries."     

"Woah...so jealous of her..." Barbara groaned as she stared at the two together.     

Lumine nodded silently as well, looking at Yomite in anticipation for him to call out for her next.     

"Assistant and Fishy-Fishy are so bold! Let me in on it!" Hu Tao chuckled and ran over to them.     

She leapt onto the sofa, encircled Yomite from behind, and climbed his back with glee.     

"Ehehe~ Gotcha!"     

"Now, now, take off your shoes before jumping up here, the couch was quite expensive," he grabbed both of her legs and removed her shoes for her.     

Her small tomboyish face brightened up as she said, "That tickles! Naughty Mr. Hero Assistant! Undressing me like this! But I still won't let you escape! " She wrapped her hands around Yomite's neck.     

And just like that, she settled on his broad back with a wide grin on her face.     

"Those are just shoes...what's naughty about that..."     

Two girls were currently wrapped around his body; one sitting on top of his left thigh, while the other leaned on his back from behind...     

However, there was still a great deal of room for others to join in if they wished...     

"I'll come to you too, Yum-Yum!"     

Barbara stood up immediately, feeling no need to wait for permission, she stole herself the spot on his right thigh, squeezing against him.     

"Yes! I did it!"     

Yomite reciprocated Barbara's smile with a smile of his own. Barbara's chuckle was somewhat shy but brimming with joy.     

Then he turned and beckoned to Lumine with his index finger, who appeared nervous.     

She approached with caution until she was standing in front of him.     

"What's up?"     

He asked her because he wanted to tease this lovely woman.     

Lumine's eyes were wide open and she seemed to struggle for words, but finally she managed to find her tongue, "M-May I? Please, umm, sit here...? " She asked hesitantly, since there was no longer a place to sit...     

There was only one last free spot, but that was out of the question, as she would be sitting directly on his crotch if that happened...     

"Not much space remains, huh...well then, let's do it this way."     

He reached out his hands towards her sides instead of pulling her in close.     

Then, he brought her up into a princess carry, holding her in his arms right between Barbara and Fischl so he could enjoy all of the girls around him at once...
