However, Sudabeh might not be lying to her brother—who knows, maybe it's 'monogamy.'
Cough cough, no more jokes. Little kids don't have that many thoughts; they just want to hear stories—about dragons, sea monsters, and big sisters.
The last one seems a bit off. Sudabeh's statements are still so explosive.
[Sudabeh: "Sudabeh wants to hear stories with big sisters! The stories need to have smart and strong big sisters!"]
I'm a botanist—this is yuri! She just likes big sisters, right?
This is practically the head lesbian of Vimara Village!
As expected, little girls mature earlier. The two little boys beside her are still on dragons and sea monsters, while here she's already eyeing big sisters—lost at the starting line.
It's like little boys watching armored cartoons, while Sudabeh is paying attention to the police big sister.
To this, everyone really wants to say: Please, Sudabeh, don't compete with us adults for big sisters!
[Traveler, hands on hips: "I'm also smart and strong!"]
In the illustration, Lumine has her hands on her hips with a proud face. Clearly a 'big sister,' yet seeking praise right now—truly cute.
[Sudabeh nods: "Um... sister is also very strong, and very pretty! But when Sudabeh grows up, I'll become Sister Rana's bride, so I have to become even stronger than you!"]
Very scary—for Sudabeh's lesbian statements, the readers find themselves gradually getting used to it. This is very scary.
The Paimon and Traveler in the story are the same, completely used to Sudabeh's statements, not taking them to heart.
[Paimon, thinking: "...Come to think of it, seems like someone knows stories about the eight-headed sea serpent, silver-haired succubus, and abyss evil dragon?"]
Kaeya: Thinking about my business?
Don't say it—the sea serpent, succubus, evil dragon—perfectly match what these three kids want to hear.
But these three stories were made up by Kaeya; Paimon and the Traveler don't know enough—they can only tell what they know.
For dragons, naturally tell Twirly's story—they haven't met a certain incomplete dragon yet.
Unexpectedly, this child named Yudan is very well-informed; he actually knows about Mondstadt's Dragonspine incident, saving the need for explanations.
The storyteller is the Mouth of God. Though Paimon looks like a child and acts/speaks like one, when truly facing children, she really has a bit of big sister feel.
She slightly modifies the story, telling it in a way that makes it interesting for the kids.
"After the giant dragon woke up, it found the world had changed from before."
"'Roar roar!' the giant dragon loudly declared, 'Now I'm very angry; I'll smash all your little houses and little castles!'"
This cute way reduces some malice, indeed more attracting to children's interest.
Even Venti can't help but praise—feels like little Paimon has some potential as a bard.
[Yudan asks: "How big is the giant dragon? As big as a house?"]
[Traveler answers: "One bite the size of a Paimon."]
This description makes it very small, because Paimon really isn't big.
[Paimon: "Hey! Don't look at my small stature—my brain capacity is very large!"]
This point is true; Paimon's head is indeed quite big.
["Hmph! I'm like the giant dragon—one bite can swallow a whole Vimara Village!"]
The readers understand—this is foreshadowing; later Paimon will definitely 'eat' Vimara Village.
Joking—everyone doesn't take these joking words with kids seriously.
After the Traveler in the story finishes telling the children stories, she naturally asks about the information she wants to know.
Still about the Aranara met at Apam Woods.
For this wonderful creature the Traveler describes, Yudan says he hasn't seen it.
[Traveler: "Looks like a Stretchy Geo Fungus..."]
Can only say the Traveler knows 'fishing'—say "XX is what" and no one responds.
But if you say 'XX looks like XX,' 'XX not as good as XX,' etc., immediately someone replies.
[Yudan laughs rebutting: "Hahahaha, not a Stretchy Geo Fungus at all!"]
Now exposed—he has clearly seen Aranara!
Besides that, he exposed a name 'Aralana.'
This name isn't very 'friendly'—full of N, L sounds, a bit torturous.
Yudan's behavior of exposing information can only be said—kids are kids after all. Though he wants to keep secret, in the end he leaks almost everything.
The second child is named Kaus; he wants to hear sea monster stories.
[Kaus: "Like, a fish as big as an island, a giant squid as long as a river, and that, the story of the wooden people and the big whale! And the big turtle with an elephant on its back!"]
These stories the Traveler doesn't know; they choose the Liyue battle against Osial story. Still the Mouth of God responsible for storytelling.
"The big water snake was very bad, so the god used rocks to press it under the sea, not letting it raise waves and destroy the harbor."
"After a long, long time, it woke from the sea, saying: 'Damn god, damn little people! So angry!'"
Zhongli shows a smile; he quite likes Paimon's way of telling this story.
In the end, the water snake is sealed again. After the story, the Traveler naturally asks about the 'cabbage spirit' topic again.
Kaus is older than the other two children, better at keeping secrets. Though you can see he's unnatural when lying, at least he doesn't leak information.
At most, he says a bit of forest intelligence, like:
["Um, everyone's good friends, live in the forest. Teach us many things, like which fruits can't eat, and, like how to make big trees willing to let us climb."]
To this, readers say: Can make big trees actively let people climb?
Sure it's not the big tree saying: 'Climb!' and you misunderstand the meaning of 'climb'?
Anyway, that's all the intelligence he reveals—at most knowing something lives in the forest.
To know more, the Traveler can only ask the third child—time for the heavyweight Sudabeh to appear.
[Sudabeh: "Sudabeh wants stories with very smart, very strong big sisters. Or, not big sisters is fine too. But, need determination and love."]
This request... some unknown Honkai Impact 3rd fits pretty well...
Cough, since wanting to hear big sister stories, the Traveler naturally tells about the Raiden Shogun—just ask if big enough?
For sister... this indeed is gone.
Anyway, the Traveler starts telling the love-hate relationship between the Raiden Shogun and Yae Miko.
[Sudabeh asks: "Are they all big sisters?"]
[Paimon affirmatively answers: "Um, all big sisters!"]
Look at this firm exclamation mark '!'
