"No!" Aether said quickly.

"So this is what Master Jean meant by difficult to get along with?" Paimom hummed then sighed, "Let's head back and talk things over with her."

Y/n perked up, "Will Amber be there?"

"Probably." Aether said with shrug, a little disappointed that y/n showed more excitement when around Amber than she did when she was with him, "Wanna come with us?"

"Yep! I'd love to!" y/n exclaimed then began dragging Aether along my the hand, "C'mon! Let's go, Blondie!"

They made it to Headquarters quickly, y/n forcing them to pick up the pace due to her eagerness to see Amber.

"Well, if it isn't the Honorary Knight and Y/n! I'm just on my way out to gather some intel. I didn't expect to run into you here!" Amber greeted with a smile.

Y/n pranced over to Amber and offered him some lamp grass, "A gift for you!"

The Outrider blinked as a blush gathered on her face before she laughed, gratefully accepting the gift, "Thank you, y/n!"

Aether watched the two with a disappointed look on his face and Paimon noticed, grinning and chuckling to herself.

"Huh? Judging by your expression, you must have run into some trouble." Amber commented when she saw Aether's expression.

"Master Jean tasked us with a special assignment, but things seem to have run aground for the moment." Paimon exclaimed.

"It's a long story..." Aether sighed.

"No Need to get down on yourself, sometimes things just don't turn out as planned. Even I can't guarantee useful intel every time I'm dispatched." Amber chirped, "You just have to keep at it and never give up!"

"That's Amber for you." Aether chuckled and y/n nodded happily.

The Outrider laughed, causing y/n's cheeks to heat up. She quickly pulled out her ominous mask to cover her face with, the one Albedo had gifted to her. There was a pretty dark story regarding ad to where the broken masks used to make the ominous mask came from but that's a story for later.

"Hey, why don't you let me try to help? What's the problem?" Amber offered.

"Master Jean asked us to build a connection with someone named Schubert Lawrence." Paimon explained, "But it turns out that he's a peculiar character that doesn't listen to anyone... Especially Paimon.

"Aha, Schubert, I know him!" Amber exclaimed, "Let me guess, he said you didn't have any manners."

"He did! The [haha no] audacity!" y/n exclaimed, voice muffled by her mask, and earned another laugh from Amber.

"Sounds like you're no stranger to his rants." Aether commented.

"Hehehe, I've been on the receiving end of his lectures many a time. The Lawrence clan can be very particular about such things." Amber replied.

"Uh... you mean everyone in the Lawrence Clan is just a big headache?" Paimon inquired then looked to y/n, "Y/n! Use your mitachurl IQ!"

"Hm... Kuzi Unu has shared their knowledge with me, Bellator Minima..." y/n murmured, "Unu says the Lawrence Clan are a bunch of buttfaces so therefore, they are buttfaces!"

Paimon applauded Y/n while Aether and Amber shook their heads.

"As aristocrats, they believe there should be a certain distance between themselves and common folk." Amber explained then sighed heavily, "I understand their thinking, but that's just not how things are anymore. However, there is one exception among the Lawrence Clan. My good buddy — Eula!"
