"Damn. Go best friend. Fuck it up."

The sound of my subtle cheering didn't quite reach the man I was talking to.

That man is the ever-elusive red-headed, sexy jerk, Diluc.

In the dark of night, an entire anime esc battle has been taking place for about 2 minutes... and no one had come to check out what's happening.

"Woohoo," I yelled in mock praise. "You got this. Yaayyy."

Aether and Paimon were beside me, watching the same scene but were looking in awe.

Paimon turned to me. "I thought you would be more ecstatic about this. Like, 'HELL YEAH, LEMME JOIN IN TOO! HOLD MAH HOOPS AETHER, IMMA FOLD HIM LIKE A ORIGAMI CRANE' or something..."

Turning to the girl with my half-lidded eyes, I managed to croak out. "It's like... 2 am. No one's got the energy for 2 am. Maybe 2:30 or 3 am... but never 2 am."

Paimon just looked more confused than before and turned back to look at the battle.

Diluc was moonwalking on buildings, defying gravity like the king he was.

Besides that point, the reason we were here at such a late hour was to find this 'Darknight Hero' that everyone was talking about. Seeing as how Diluc is the only one here, fighting an abyss mage in the middle of the night, I could assume he was the one who held the title.

Having erupted from an ice cocoon and slicing the abyss mage in half, Diluc had finally noticed our presence.

"The Darknight Hero is Master Diluc!?" Paimon shouted, dumbfounded.

I boredly checked my watch and saw the time.

2:27 am.

"After managing to steer clear of the guards' patrol route..." The redhead placed a stiff hand on his hip. "...I never anticipated I'd run into you instead."

Paimon and Aether had begun to bombard Diluc with various questions. Though they didn't even ask about how he's never been caught, seeing how much noise he produced during this battle...

2:28 am.

"Now Mister Dark. Night. Hero~" Paimon emphasized each word to rub in how much of a silly name it was, and honestly, I couldn't blame her.

"Please" Diluc was surprisingly flustered when he spoke, "Stop calling me that. Seriously, it makes me uncomfortable."

2:29 am...

Paimon continued to berate the red-head on the childish nickname, while Diluc simply glared at her in return

"You must keep my identity a secret" Diluc ordered, "Above all, it is crucial that you do not let the knights of Favonious know I am connected to any of this."

2:30 AM.

There it is.

"WWOOOOOOHHHH MY EYES HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY THAT WONDERFUL DISPLAY!"

Having successfully startled everyone there, I struck a cute pose.

"Hey hey, Diluc, how about you and me do some private training~ Maybe you could help me with my form."

Aether and Paimon looked at me weirdly, as I gave a cheeky smile.

I had a sudden rush of energy and was ready to do what I do best. Fangirling.

Diluc looked unimpressed with what I proposed, "I was wondering why YOU were so quiet. You just now react to all this?"

I waved off his indifferent persona, "Aww you were worried about me? Ya shouldn't have, now hows about you answer the question, I'm waiting~"
