[System! Because user Lumine answered incorrectly previously, the second fan-made punishment video will now be played.]
Immediately, under everyone's gaze, the system uploaded a fan-made video featuring Lumine.
The video began with a piece of music, showing the interior of a house in Inazuma.
Lumine slowly walked up behind Tartaglia and hugged him from behind.
Tartaglia reacted quickly, immediately breaking free from Lumine's embrace and dodging to the side.
"Don't touch me!"
[Aether: (???dish??)??3??, Tartaglia, that's my sister. Don't you dare be ungrateful.]
[Tartaglia: Uh, well, Traveler, this isn't real. It's fake—a fan-made video.]
[Aether: I don't care. If you dare bully my sister, see if I don't beat you up.]
[Paimon: Ah, Traveler, calm down. Have an apple to cool off.]
The two of them were currently doing commissions in Mondstadt. Seeing the angry Traveler, Paimon quickly offered the apple she was about to eat to the Traveler's mouth.
However, the video did not stop because of their exchange.
Immediately afterward, Lumine in the video walked up and hooked her arm through Tartaglia's right arm.
"Stop being angry with me, okay? Ever since we had that huge argument the other day, these past two days have felt like years!"
"Sigh, I don't even know how I've been getting through the days. All I know is that my brain, my heart, my thoughts are entirely filled with you."
"Your name, your gentleness, your anger, your tears, your smile, your good, your bad—you're driving me crazy, I can't even live like this anymore."
"If you keep ignoring me, I'm going to drop dead."
[Kamisato Ayaka: Hehe, Traveler, it looks like your sister really likes this guy named Tartaglia!]
[Aether: Hmph, to dare treat Lumine like this—I must beat you up.]
[Tartaglia: Ah, well, my friend, I welcome a fight, but don't connect what's in the video to me!]
In the video, Tartaglia tugged on his right arm, but couldn't pull it free.
"I said, stop listening to your... your sweet talk. Save it for Ayato."
[Kamisato Ayaka: Σ(?д?|||)??, Brother?]
[Aether: Huh?]
[Yae Miko: Oh my, who would have thought that little fox in the Yashiro Commission plays things so wild.]
[Kamisato Ayato: Ahem, Lady Guuji is joking. This is just a fan-made video, it's fake, and besides, I haven't even met the Traveler's sister.]
[Tartaglia: Look, Traveler, I'm the victim in the video.]
When Aether the Traveler saw this and thought back to what Lumine was usually like when they traveled together—pure and adorable in front of people she had just met, but once she got familiar with someone, she was a total "lewd" demon obsessed only with good looks regardless of gender—he felt a bit embarrassed. He didn't dare reply to Tartaglia and chose to go silent.
Hearing this in the video, Lumine panicked a little.
"I... I don't have him in my head at all. If I don't have him in my heart, how can I say those things to him?"
"Didn't you say my butt isn't as cute as his?"
"Just hit me."
With that, Lumine grabbed Tartaglia's hand and pulled it toward her own face, but before it could hit, Tartaglia pulled his hand back.
"I... I was just carried away by gacha pulls back then! Can anything said in the heat of the moment count? Let's just forget all about it, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Tartaglia hurriedly turned around to look at Lumine.
"No, no, no. You already look down on me in your heart. You compared me to Ayato, decided he was better than me, and even gave him my Artifacts."
"No way, when would I ever do such a scummy thing?"
Tartaglia looked somewhat pitiful, like an abandoned puppy.
"You went around Inazuma City with him, walking all night, talking about everything from poetry to the philosophy of life. You've never walked around Inazuma City with me, nor have you ever talked about poetry and the philosophy of life with me."
Seeing that Tartaglia was about to shed little teardrops, Lumine hurriedly rushed up and hugged him.
"Fine, fine, fine, I was wrong, wrong, wrong, okay?"
"I shouldn't have walked around Inazuma City with him, shouldn't have walked with him the whole night, and shouldn't have talked about poetry and the philosophy of life with him."
"From now on, I'll only stroll around the streets with you, for the whole night."
"And I'll talk to you about poetry and the philosophy of life, okay?"
At this point, the video faded to black, meaning it had finished playing.
[System: User Lumine's punishment playback is complete. Since this is a punishment video, there are no Q&A questions.]
[System: User Tartaglia receives 20 bonus points.]
[System: The next video will be played in three days. Please look forward to it. (Special reminder: the chat group will not be closed and can be used normally.)]
[Lin Yu: Umm, Aether, your sister is a bit of a heartbreaker.]
[Aether: Uh—if, and I mean *if*, my sister can't keep her feet still whenever she sees someone good-looking, regardless of whether they are male or female, what would happen?]
[Shenhe: ??]
[Yae Miko: ? Oh~ Little one, your sister's appetite is really huge.]
[Lin Yu: Uh—just pretend I didn't say that last sentence.]
