I Am Not Your Asian American Doll: a comic for AAPI Heritage Month 2023

I usually spend a lot of time editing and fine-tuning my comics so that they come across as polite and inoffensive. But honestly, I’m really tired of the way Asian cultures and countries are treated / talked about while Asian people themselves are excluded, and thought it was about time I really let my rage out lol.

“WELCOME TO COTEA CAFE!”

Sypnosis:

With Aether and Paimon visiting your cafe everyday, a couple of his friends had started getting suspicious towards the male like— what if he was getting himself in trouble again? Which is why, the archons decided to hear their people's plea by going with the traveler on their new favorite cafe.

Genshin characters x fem!reader

Part: one, two, three, four, five.

When the people started to notice something different with their hero, a day hasn't passed yet when Aether went back to Sumeru to deliver the letter to Buer, the current dendro archon.

"You seem to be in a good mood today, traveler." Nahida, the archon, pointed out as she gave the blonde male a small smile.

"Oh! Oh! That's because we met this beautiful lady by the Qingxu pool and her dish is sooooo delicious!" Paimon exclaimed, she clapped her hands and kicked her feet in the air to emphasize the joy she was feeling.

Meanwhile, pink hues had spread across Aether's cheeks as he scratched the back of his head which earned a couple of suspicious glance by the people around them, it was an unnecessary reaction of his, but.. He remembered how comfortable he was within your company that he ended up wanting to hug you.

"Hm? What's this?" Nahida grinned, eyes brimming with delight and playfulness. Her question made the floating companion stop with her daydream and glance towards the traveler.

"I-It's nothing.. Just remembered something embarrassing." He managed to cover up his stutter by coming up with an excuse, he let out a sigh of relief when the archon seem to let it go, for now.

"Is it really nothing though?" Paimon asked, crossing her arms in front of her and tilting her head as she stared straight into Aether's eyes.

"Anyways," Nahida spoke up and it unintentionally saved Aether from being interrogated, "Please bring this to the acting grand sage and the general mahamatra." Two letters were given to him, again, he couldn't bring himself to speak up and say no to the archon, he wanted to refuse, but he knew himself that he would only feel guilty if he indeed say no.

"Okay, we'll bring these to al-haitham and cyno!" Paimon squealed and excitedly stared at the letters on Aether's grasps.

"Cynoooo!" The high-pitched voice of Paimon had gathered the attention of the people nearby, including the mentioned person himself.

"Travelers." Cyno said to acknowledge their presence, "What brings you to the village?"

"Nahida wanted us to bring you this!" Paimon informed him, automatically, Aether brought out the letter and gave it to him, "By the way, do you know where Al-haitham might be? He's nowhere to be seen in the Akademiya, not in his house either, surprisingly."

Cyno shook his head, "Forgive me, but I would seem to be useless if you're looking for that man." He stated, eyes scanning the exterior of the letter, "Although, I did heard that he went to the port with the lioness ealier."

"Dehya? That seems an odd pair." Paimon uttered, "But I guess after saving Nahida, the two became quite close!"

Nodding, Aether and Cyno bid a farewell to each other.

"Can we use the waypoint this time? It's tiring to walk all the way from here to the port." The floating companion whined, "I want to visit the co.. Cothe.. Cote? Cotey? Whatever the name of that cafe is! I just want to taste that lady's cooking againnn."

"Unfortunately, we can't use the waypoint for now." Aether informed her with a dejected tone, he too, wanted to go back to Cotea Cafe to bask within your presence, "We just have to be quick. I'm sure that we can be lucky along the way."

"Ughh! Why is Al-haitham not in the Akademiya anyways? If he was there then our job would be done and by now, we're walking towards her cafe!" Paimon whined once more, kicking the air as she and Aether walk down the path in desert.

"It can't be helped, let us hurry and look for Al-haitha—"

"What's your business with me?" Speaking of the devil, the man himself showed up in front of them with Dehya and Candace trailing behind him.

"I thought you're only with Dehya?" Paimon asked, more like muttering to herself as she glanced between the two females, "Anyways! We've been looking everywhere for you, you're not in the Akademiya earlier and we heard from cyno that you're with Dehya in the port so we're about to go there."

"You actually saved us." Aether said before giving the letter to Al-haitham, "Nahida wanted to give this to you, but she's quite busy at the moment so we run an errand for her."

"Well, that's all! Let's go, Aether! I can't wait to see her and taste her dish again~!" Paimon sing out loud, "What should we order next? Do you want to taste another adobo? But not manok this time?"

"We could order anything, I have mora with me." Aether answered, a small smile creeping up into his face. The two seem to forgot that they are still in front of the three as they start to daydream about the food and the owner of the cafe, "I heard she can offer any kind of drink too.. Should we ask for her recommendation again?"

"There are too many dish in her menu though.." The floating companion muttered.

Al-haitham raised an eyebrow, switching between Aether and Paimon as the two of them talk among themselves. Just what is this cafe are they talking about? Why does the traveler look so flustered when the fairy mentioned an unknown lady?

Dehya and Candace both look at each other, they might not be an expert, but their instinct can be wrong at a time like this.

The acting grand sage was about to ask, but the two girls behind him pulled him back— they watched with calculated gaze as the travelers walked passed them in a hurry, not even bothering to bid them a farewell.

"That was quite rude." Al-haitham said, fixing the posture of his clothes as he cast a glance towards Dehya, "Do tell, why did you two stop me from inquiring about the travelers' unusual.. Behaviors?"

Dehya walked ahead of him, "Girly instinct. I can feel that the two are bewitched by someone."

"Is that even possible?" The scribe asked, not believing a word that the lioness had just said, "The two of them did not come from teyvat after all."

"Exactly." Candace chimed in, "The two of them are not from teyvat which makes them an easy target for the enemies if they want the outlanders to be on their side." The young woman stated as she walked side by side with the lioness.

There's an unsettling feeling in their gut, from what they have witnessed— they can tell that the two are quite allured towards the unknown person.

"Whatever, let's just be quick and look for the general mahamatra since my time cannot be wasted any further, I've wasted enough time as is." Right, there are more significant matter that are needed to be done which is why he cannot stay outside the Akademiya for too long.

He shouldn't meddle with someone else's business.

"I see.. Do you think this person is capable of bewitching our beloved hero?" Nahida asked the scribe in front of her, "From what I have heard from your statement, the traveler and paimon had been allured by a witch? Is that it?"

"It's not proven yet, but that is only my theory." Al-haitham answered truthfully.

"Alright, look for the wanderer and ask him to come here." She said as she smiled at the acting grand sage, "Tell him that I have an important errand to give."

Another two days had passed and the morning was the same as usual for the workers in Wangshu Inn.

The blonde and his floating companion went out of their room early in the morning, the sun can't be seen in the horizon yet but they are in a hurry to go to the cafe under the cliff.

"Leaving so soon?" The owner, Verr, asked as soon as she spotted them descending the stairs, she looked over to the window and took a mental note that the sun hasn't graced the sky, "It's too early, why don't you two stay for a little longer for breakfast?"

"Thank you for the offer, but we need to leave right now." Aether answered politely, he knew that paimon's still drowsy from the lack of sleep but the two of them agreed that they'll have breakfast at your cafe.

"Oh, it can't be helped then—" Verr gasped in fright when a hand gripped her shoulder gently.

"Traveler." Xiao greeted Aether with a nod of his head as he pulled Verr away from the two, "Morax received a letter from the dendro archon and currently, the delivery man is waiting for you in Liyue harbor."

Nodding, aether did not say anything else and walked passed the two, he can't stop himself from feeling irritated— he just want to hurry and go to your cafe to eat breakfast! What's so wrong about that? What's with the continuous disturbances?

Quickly, the blonde sprinted towards the city of contracts, keeping in mind that the waypoint wouldn't allow him to teleport exactly on the city.

"W-wait up!" Paimon called out, she is having a hard time to catch up with her companion due to the sleepiness still in her system.

It didn't take that long for the two to arrive in the city, the sun had graced the sky and the people are slowly filling the streets— he wanted to avoid this but now he has no choice but to interact with them.

A good morning greetings came from left and right as the outlanders walk past the people of Liyue, they could only smile at them and wave before scurrying past towards the harbor.

"You're late." Wanderer scoffed as soon as he saw the slackers approach him, "Buer wouldn't like it if she found out that you two had been unpunctual."

The expression on Aether's face made the puppet flinch, what's with the irritated reaction? Is what the wanderer thought as he pulled out the letter from his pocket and handed it to the traveler.

"Another errand?" Paimon whined, her eyebrows furrowed as she glanced at the sealed enveloped on Aether's grasp, "We haven't eaten breakfast yet and you guys want us to run an errand again?"

Exactly. Aether thought, agreeing mentally towards his companion.

"I don't think that's an errand." Wanderer stated, "Buer just wanted me to deliver it to you in person to avoid possible error in her part, however, an immediate response is needed so I'll meet you back here in.." He looked up in the sky, "Around two hours."

"Whaaat?!" There goes the outbursts of an hungry fairy, "Let us have breakfast first!" Paimon demanded.

Wanderer scoffed as he crossed his arms in front of his chest, he cast an annoyed glance towards the floating creature, "There are a lot of open restaurant here, why don't you just shove anything in that big mouth of yours?"

"We don't want to eat here." Finally, Aether spoke up to counter the annoyance from the anemo wielder in front of him, "We want to eat somewhere else, the dishes and beverages there are otherworldly."

"I see." Playing favorites, eh? The wanderer smirked and turned around, "Suit yourselves, I changed my mind by the way, there's no need to meet up in here again, but make sure to wait for Buer in the entrance of chasm and don't bother asking Morax for permission since I already met up with him."

Two hours had passed, the two travelers are now in front of the entrance of the chasm. They stood side by side with the knights— waiting for the dendro archon to arrive.

"Uurgh.. I'm so hungry." Paimon whined for the nth that morning and Aether couldn't agree more. They are quite stubborn about wanting to eat at your cafe and not anywhere else, your food taste so extraordinary and amazing that they didn't want to tarnish their taste buds else where.

"Ah, Mr. Zhongli!" The knights straightened their posture and greeted the archon of their nation.

"Finally! You're here!" The fairy sighed in relief when her eyes landed on the child beside the geo archon, Nahida smiled at them and waved her hand.

"Seems like you two have been waiting for us." Zhongli stated, he nodded his head towards the knights to show them that they acknowledge their presence before turning his attention to Aether.

"Venti will be here in a moment, let us wait for him."

"Huh?! No one told us that he'll come over too!" Paimon exclaimed, her posture frigid at the sudden appearance of the three archons in one area.

"Hehe! That's because the wind told me that you guys have been going into a nice place~!" Speak of the devil, the anemo archon landed on the ground— the wind must've carried him from his nation to the chasm.

"Now, why don't we eat?" Nahida asked, smiling at aether and Paimon with a knowing look on her eyes, "I'm sure that you two have a specific place in mind.

The five of them trekked the path towards your small cafe, the archons couldn't believe the travelers that a cafe had been build on the corner of Liyue— much to their belief, it is built right under a cliff.

"Isn't that dangerous?" Nahida inquired, her beautiful and sparkling green eyes scanned the area for monster yet to her surprise, no enemies can be seen nor sense.

"Eh~ it's fine! (Name) told us that this location is the perfect spot for her humble cafe!" The fairy giggled, kicking the air, unable to contain her excitement to taste your delicious dish once again.

"You're quite energetic about eating breakfast." Zhongli pointer out, his amber eyes glancing at the floating creature with suspicion.

Maybe what the scribe had told them is true? Maybe, the outlanders had been bewitched?

"Of course!" Paimon didn't even bother denying his claim, she float ahead of the four and pushed the door open— how you may ask? The door is not heavy as it looks, it seems that the wood used for it was lighter than normal.

Ring!

Ring!

Ring!

The archons jumped at the sound of the bell, did it just came from above of the entrance? Who would put that there?

Venti looked around as soon as he stepped inside the cozy cafe, his eyes feast upon the interior of the place. There are a couple of bookshelves on each corner of the cafe with tables in the middle of the room.

Nahida suddenly felt giddy, her eyes caught a certain book that she had not seen in her entire existence— don't forget about Zhongli! His eyes wouldn't stop glancing around, he scanned the whole place to look for anything suspicious, but he could only find books.

Books, books, and books.

"I'll be there in a minute!" A woman yelled from the other room.

"Is that the owner?" Venti stole the question from the other archons mouth, he followed the blonde towards the table near the front desk and all of them took a seat on their respective chair.

"Yep!" Paimon giggled, "She's friendly and beautiful, I'm sure you will like her!"

They took a mental note that the traveler had been quiet the whole time and paimon took the courtesy to entertain them instead, it's weird.. And out of character of the blonde himself, but from the behavior alone, they know that something did happen.

The sound of a door being opened and closed had caught the attention of the archons, they straightened their posture and let the fairy talk again.

"Miss (name)!" Paimon called out, she waved her hand excitedly and couldn't stop fidgeting in her spot, "We brought some friends!" She informed the owner with a big smile on her face.

Suddenly, the archons flinched on their spot when they felt a comforting yet pressuring presence approaching their location.

Kneel.

It was an unsaid command that made their knees weak and shaking— they couldn't bring themselves to look at the approaching female, her presence is making them vulnerable to the point it left the three speechless then a hand placed a menu in front of them.

"Welcome to cotea cafe! What may I get for you, my dearest customers?" Your voice, archons, your voice made them jump and it caught the attention of the outlanders and yours.

"Are you guys alright?" You may be in a state of shock, but their complexion are pale— you've never heard of an archon getting sick so why do they look like they're in pain?

"Oh no! Nahida! You're shaking so much!" Paimon's big mouth just need to ruin it for the pitiful archon, huh?

Your eyebrows furrowed at the sight of the archons' shaking figures, the three had lower their head when you approached them and it made you feel bad. Are they scared of you? You haven't do anything wrong to be considered frightful so you can't help but wonder what's wrong?

"They seem sick.." You muttered, your eyes examining the way how the three of them avoided your gaze, "Do you want something cold? Hot? Drinks or something to eat? I can whisk something from my kitchen to make you guys feel better."

"A-anything cold is fine." Nahida stuttered, she couldn't stop herself from sweating so much due to the anxiety and pressure she's feeling from under your gaze.

"Okay.." You trailed off and looked over to the remaining two, "How about you gentlemen?"

"Something warm, if you can make me a tea then it's fine a-as well." Zhongli managed to breath out, he can feel your eyes on his face and it's making him feel warm inside— he doesn't know if its appropriate, but that's how he is feeling right now.

"Then, paimon will have adobong baboy and halo-halo! What you gave us last time left an amazing impression on paimon!" The fairy told you, her smile is wide and her eyes are sparkling with wonder.

"U-uh, I'll have this one." Aether pointed at the chicken dish on the menu, you are sure that he is having a hard time to pronounce the name again so you just let him be.

"How about you?" This time, your attention is on the anemo archon, "Would you like anything?"

"Just any juice is fi-fine, if you want, I can have the same thing as Bue— I-I mean, Nahida! Yeah, Nahida." He quickly corrected himself, he couldn't help but stumble on his own words from the pressure your presence is giving him.

You blinked, eyeing the people around the table, each one of them are wearing different kinds of expression on their faces, you couldn't tell if they are comfortable in your cafe, however, it's not bad to hope, right?

"Alright, one tinola, one adobong baboy, three halo-halo and one lavender tea, is that all?" You asked, smiling slightly as you look at them for confirmation.

"Yep! That's all!" Paimon took the courtesy to answer again when the four people didn't answer you.

"I'll be back in ten with your orders." You mused and lower your head before taking all the menus from them, you quickly walked back to the kitchen to avoid suspicion— they probably couldn't tell, but you've been feeling anxious the entire time.

"Crap, I'm wishing myself a goodluck."
