-No One's P.O.V-

Diablo: We're heading to the dungeon Horn mentioned on foot! Lumachina, if you desire it, a hidden treasure that makes miracles shall be yours!

Lumachina: Yes. We need to save the people who suffering from the Death Knell Disease as I am, too.

Shera: Let's pop over and cure them in a jiffy!

Horn: You can leave navigating the dungeon to me!

Leafa: Heehee, *fist raised in the air* let's-a-go!!

Leafa said with excitement until you felt the numbers of magical energy senses that is coming straight towards you all.

(Y/N): Everyone, I sense numerous magical sources on the way here!

You tell them as you turned to look to where the source was until all of you see five ships...

...And Laminitus as well.

(Y/N)/Leafa/Diablo: (Laminitus!)

(Y/N) and the group see the Ships started to circle all around you five as all of you waiting for them to do something, including Fanis Laminitus herself.

Laminitus: I received a report of you appearing from the depths of the earth. Now answer me honestly. Are you the Demon Lord that Varakness spoke of?

Diablo: Varakness?

(Y/N): Who?

Leafa: I'm not familiar with that name.

Rem: Don't let her provoke you.

Shera: That's right. If you say you're a Demon Lord...

Diablo felt hesitant on the inside to try and explain himself that he's not a Demon Lord, but...

Diablo: I am Diablo, the Demon Lord from another world! None shall stand in my way!

(Y/N) & Leafa: Oh for God sake...

Diablo: Hahahaha!! I won't run or hide! Come at me if you want to die!

Laminitus: Hmph! Listen to you bark. Then I'll give you the ruin you desire! Return to your slumber once more, Demon Lord!

Laminitus orders her men to take aim at Diablo's group, ready to shoot them.

(Y/N): Tch...!

As any one of you was about to do something until...

Lumachina: Please, wait! This man is not the one you should turn your weapons on. He and his friends saved this town and myself, too. And now, he fights to help others. I swear that he is no enemy to the mortal races.

Laminitus: Then why does he call himself a Demon Lord?!

Lumachina: B-Because...

Rem: Laminitus! We're currently heading to a dungeon to obtain a treasure that will cure the Death Knell Disease!

Shera: Could you please wait until we return with that treasure?

(Y/N): I know you must be thinking that it's impossible, but it's true! We shall get back the cure for the disease!

Leafa: Please believe us!

Laminitus: Is that so? What would you lot gain from that?

Lumachina: Please look at this.

Lumachina then opens her skirt and reveals her three marks of the Death Knell Disease, shocking everyone upon seeing it.

Lumachina: These people are heading to the dungeon to save those like me, who are plagued with the Death Knell Disease.

Laminitus: Oh? In that case, you'll have to tell me more about this. *Raises her left hand* Seize them!

(Y/N): You piece of...

Diablo: *Raises his wand* O Eart, pulse violently! Earth Bounce!

A white pentagram appears around the group as Laminitus and her crew started trembling as if they were encountering an earthquake, except for (Y/N) and the others that are not affected by the magic.

Shera: O-Only the ground around us isn't shaking?

(Y/N): Yup!

Leafa: Let's all stick with Diablo! Do not leave this circle at once!

Diablo: You hear them! Now let's start running!

And just like that (Y/N) and the group started running away somewhere away from the Zircon Tower City until nightfall.

-Time Skip at Night-

Later at night, everyone camped out next to a destroyed ship after getting away from Laminitus.

Shera: Jeez, I'm starving! (Y/N), is dinner ready already?

(Y/N): Hold on, hold on, give me a second...

Leafa then pulls out a wooden plate and a plastic bag. She then used the plastic bag to put inside the wooden plate so it wouldn't get messy. After that, she puts 7 pebbles on the plate and hands it to you.

You took the plate from her hands and point your finger at the pebbles and said...

(Y/N): Turn into Mondstadt Grilled Fish!

You used your Food Beam skill as the 7 pebbles turned into freshly cooked Mondstadt Grilled Fish with a stick.

(Y/N): Alright, dinner's ready, everyone!

You announced to everyone as you took one Mondstadt Grilled Fish and passed the plate onto each member to take one for themselves.

Shera: *Chomps down onto the Grilled Fish* Mmm~! This tastes really delicious~!

Rem: Yeah, the texture and the crispiness of this food is really good.

Horn: Amazhing~!

Lumachina: Thank you for the food, (Y/N).

(Y/N): Hehe, you're welcome!

You said with a big happy grin on your face.

Diablo (Takuma): *Whispers to (Y/N)* I'm quite surprised that you used food from a video game.

(Y/N): *Whispers back* Yeah, and I'm also surprised that it worked. Everyone is liking it.

Leafa: Definitely, I'm glad you have that "Food Beam" skill to use when we get hungry.

(Y/N): *Nods* Mm.

Diablo: *Stands up* Alright, everyone. According to Horn, it'll take us three days to reach the dungeon. Be sure to eat and get some rest, understand?

(Y/N)/Leafa/Shera/Horn/Lumachina/Rem: Yup!

And just like that, everyone continued to eat the Mondstadt Grilled Fish for a few minutes and shared some small conversations until Leafa spoke up.

Leafa: Hey, everyone.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to Leafa.

Leafa then held out her arms until an average-sized black hole appeared above her arms until we see a Lute pop out of the hole and land on Leafa's arms.

Leafa: Why don't we sing a few songs on this lute before we headed to get some sleep?

Horn: Oh! That's a great idea~!

Lumachina: Got any songs to play with, Miss Leafa?

Shera: Yeah, I wanna see you play it!

Everyone was quite eager to see Leafa playing the Lute.

Leafa: Alright. The song that I'm going to play is called "Titibo-Tibo".

Shera: Huh?

Rem: Titibo...Tibo? Is that a foreign song from your world?

(Y/N): Yeah. In translation of that song title is "Even if I am boyish". You guys won't be able to understand the lyrics but I hope you can try to understand while Leafa is singing.

Leafa: That's right. However, this song isn't really mine, I like to do covers from musical artists.

Horn: I'm pretty sure anyone can do that.

Leafa: *Nods* Mm. But anyways, I'll summarize what the lyrics are once I'm done performing.

Lumachina: *Nods* Mm.

Shera: I hope it's good~!

Diablo: Alright, go ahead, Leafa.

Leafa nodded with a smile as she begins to strum the strings and starts singing...

Elementary pa lang napapansin na nila
Mga gawi kong parang hindi pambabae e kasi
Imbes na chinese garter laruan ko ay teks at jolens
Tapos ka-jamming ko lagi noon mga sigang lalaki sa amin

Nung ako'y mag-high school ay napabarkada sa mga bi
Curious na babae na ang hanap din ay babae
Sa halip na makeup kit bitbit ko ay gitara
Tapos pormahan ko lagi ay long sleeves na tshirt at faded na lonta

Pero noong nakilala kita nagbagong bigla ang aking timpla
Natuto ako na magparebond at mag-ahit ng kilay at least once a month
Hindi ko alam kung anong meron ka na sa akin ay nagpalambot nang bigla
Sinong mag-aakalang lalake pala ang bibihag sa tulad kong tigreng gala

Kahit ako'y titibo-tibo
Puso ko ay titibok-tibok pa rin sa'yo
Isang halik mo lamang at ako ay tinatablan
At ang aking pagkababae ay nabubuhayan
Na para bang bulaklak na namumukadkad
Dahil alaga mo sa dilig at katamtamang sikat ng araw-araw mong pag-ibig
Sa'king buhay nagpapasarap

Nung tayo'y nag-college ay saka ko lamang binigay ang matamis na oo
Sampung buwan mong trinabaho
Sa halip na tsokolate at tipikal na mga diskarte
Nabihag mo ko sa mga tula at sa mga kanta mong pabebe

Kaya nga noong makilala kita alam ko na agad na mayroong himala
Natuto akong magtakong at napadalas ang pagsuot ng bestidang pula
Pero di mo naman inasam na ako ay magbagong tuluyan para patunayang
Walang matigas na tinapay sa mainit na kape ng iyong pagmamahal

Kahit ako'y titibo-tibo
Puso ko ay titibok-tibok pa rin sa'yo
Isang halik mo lamang at ako ay tinatablan
At ang aking pagkababae ay nabubuhayan
Na para bang bulaklak na namumukadkad
Dahil alaga mo sa dilig at katamtamang sikat ng araw-araw mong pag-ibig
Sa'king buhay nagpapasarap.

Once Leafa finished singing and strumming the Lute, everyone clapped performance.

Horn: Woo~! That was amazing~!

Diablo: Amazing performance, Leafa.

Leafa: *Scratches the back of her head and happily grins* Heehee~!

Rem: Hmm...from what I can try to understand the song...there are a few English notes in there...I can tell that there's probably some romance in it.

Shera: That sounds like it. I mean, Leafa's expression and her tone of singing tell it all during her performance.

Leafa: Alright, to summarize this song...This song tells about a girl who acts like a boy and does guy things from the past. Later in high school and college, her womanhood was awakened, thanks to the guy who had a crush on her and teased her a few times, she no longer becomes the tomboy of who she was before.

Shera/Leafa/Lumachina/Horn: Ohh...

Horn: So that's what the song is all about.

Lumachina: I didn't understand what the language of the song was until Leafa explained it. It was quite romantic indeed.

Leafa nodded in response until Rem spoke up.

Diablo: So, who's going next?

(Y/N): Mind if I?

Shera: Oh? You played the Lute before (Y/N)?

(Y/N): Yeah, Leafa isn't the only one here that can play the flute. We took a few music classes and practiced together back in our world with Diablo.

Rem: Ehh? I didn't know you taught them how to play the Lute, Diablo.

Diablo: Hey, I didn't teach them how to play the Lute. They've got time on their own if they don't have anything to do with their jobs as my apprentices.

Horn: I see.

Lumachina: Anyways, what kind of song will you be playing, (Y/N)?

(Y/N): Well, I'll be playing another foreign song. It's called "Hasula". In translation, "What a Hassle".

Leafa: (Ah, I'm familiar with that song.)

Shera: Alright, go ahead and play for us (Y/N) so we can try to understand it!

(Y/N): Okay, here we go.

You then start to sing and strum the Lute.

(A/N: You can read the English lyrics through the video.)

Maypa sa akong mga damgo
Aduna pay ikaw ug ako
Oh, kon mao man gani
Maypa'g matug ko'g balik
Pukawa ra kog buwag na mo

Kuyog-kuyog pa ko ninyong duha
Sungog-sungugon ka
Pa-as if nga gikilig, apan diay nagsakit

Di ta uyab, wala'y ikaw ug ako
Apan kung mag selos ko, ayaw pag buot
Sige na lang ta ani'g
Ha-ha-ha, katawa
Ha-ha-ha, hasula, ning kahimtanga

Selos nga lisod gyud kapugngan
Labaw na'g siya ang imong kauban
Ngano mang mahadlok ko'ng ma wa ka
Nga wa man gyud tika ma ako-a?

Maong sorry na, wa ko gyud damha
Akong dakong sala
Na-fall ko nimo, do
Promise, 'di na gyud ma-utro

Kay 'di ta uyab, wala'y ikaw ug ako
Apan kung mag selos ko, ayaw pag buot
Sige na lang ta ani'g
Ha-ha-ha, katawa
Ha-ha-ha, hasula

Unsaon ta man?
Wala na ko'y mahimo
Pirmeng pahisgot na lang ba ko ani kutob?
Sige na lang ta ani'g
Ha-ha-ha, katawa
Ha-ha-ha, hasula

Awa lang (awa lang)
Magkadayon ra 'nya ta puhon
Purya buyag intawon
Ayaw nalang ug angal
Kay "Flames" ang nag-ingon
Mao nang sa pagkakaronHa-ha-ha, katawa
Ha-ha-ha, hasulaKay di ta uyab, wala'y ikaw ug ako
Apan kung mag selos ko, ayaw pag buot
Sige na lang ta ani'g
Ha-ha-ha, katawa
Ha-ha-ha, hasula

Unsaon ta man?
Wala na ko'y mahimo
Pirmeng pahisgot na lang ba ko ani kutob?
Sige na lang ta ani'g
Ha-ha-ha, katawa
Ha-ha-ha, hasula

Ha-ha-ha, katawa
Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha, hasula

Once you were finishing singing and strumming the Lute, everyone clapped at your performance.

Lumachina: That was wonderful~!

Rem: *Nods* Indeed.

Horn: To what I can try to understand the song...I think it's gotta be a hint of sadness in there...

(Y/N): That is almost to the truth, Horn.

Horn: How so?

(Y/N): To summarize this song...This song tells about conflicting feelings about a relationship with the one you love. To put it simply...Jealousy.

Shera: Jealousy, huh...

Shera muttered as she look over to Leafa. The Demon Elf simply shook her head with a smile that tells "Don't worry about it".

Shera smiles in response until Diablo spoke up.

Diablo: I hate to ruin the fun, everyone. It's best if we all get some early shut eye so we can continue heading toward the dungeon.

Rem: That sucks, but understandable.

Lumachina: I hope we can more Lute songs from Leafa and (Y/N) in the future.

Horn: Mm! I agree!

Leafa: Alright, everyone. Let's all get some sleep~!

Everyone: Right!

And just like that, everyone fell asleep and wait for the next day to come.

-The Next Day at the Zircon Tower City-

Red-Haired Paladin: It's an honor to make your acquaintance. Your renown reaches even the royal capital, Lord Laminitus.

Laminitus: Forget the flattery. What does a Paladin want with me?

In front of Laminitus, we see the familiar red-haired Paladin from before which Diablo and Lumachina had encountered in the forest in Faltra.

Red-Haired Paladin: I heard the Head Priest was in this town, so I'm here to protect her.

Laminitus: The Head Priest?

Red-Haired Paladin: Yes. I also come bearing an important message from the Church.

Laminitus: That woman has already disappeared along with a sorcerer who calls himself a Demon Lord. I was in the middle of hunting them down myself.

Red-Haired Paladin: Tsk. That sorcerer has deceived the Head Priest and taken her away!

Laminitus: *Smiles* Heh. Didn't look that way to me.

Red-Haired Paladin: Huh?

That's when a couple of knocks can be heard from the door which was one of the soldiers.

Soldier 1: I bring news!

Laminitus: Enter!

Soldier 1: *Enters the office* We've discovered the location of the dungeon that Sorcerer is heading to!

Laminitus: Where is it?

The Red-Haired Paladin smiles upon hearing this as the Soldier begins to fill up the information.

...

...

(A/N: That's that~! Stay tuned for more~!)
