Archon Quest
In Chapter 2, Inazuma: Act 1, Thoma takes Lumine to the Kamisato Estate to speak with a member of the Yashiro Commission. Thoma informs Lumine that Ayaka is excited to finally meet her. However, Lumine is unable to see her as she is behind a screen. When Ayaka asks Lumine to lend them her power, Lumine refuses and prepares to leave, but Ayaka asks her not to. Ayaka tells Lumine that she will introduce her to the Raiden Shogun on one condition: that she fulfill 3 small wishes. Lumine accepts this condition.

When Lumine is finally done, she returns to the Kamisato Estate to see Ayaka. Lumine finally sees Ayaka in person, to which they are both delighted. Ayaka told that it was a pleasure to meet her, face-to-face. Ayaka thanks Lumine for fulfilling the 3 wishes. Within Paimon, Paimon asks Ayaka why she finally came out and meet them in person, Ayaka answers with saying that she considers them to be her friends after doing the 3 wishes that she asks. Lumine then so accepts the both of them being friends, so they then finally started being friends. Ayaka thanks her for it.

Lumine then helps Ayaka fight the Vision Hunt Decree, but Lumine tells her to must keep the promise that she made her. Ayaka answers with naturally. Ayaka was right with accepting the right person so Thoma tells her bravo and telling that she was right all along. While talking about Master Masakatsu, Lumine knew that she was offloading the job to her.

Grus Nivis
In Act 1 of Grus Nivis; The Whispers of the Crane and the White Rabbit, which is Ayaka's Story Quest. Lumine sees Ayaka looking at a festival promotion, she asks if she wants to go there. Ayaka says no, asking what made her think of that. Ayaka apologises and tells herself that she should stop thinking about her work, she tells her that this was the place that she wanted to visit, the place had different styled kimonos. The two took a look inside of the place. Ayaka came prepared so she gave Ogura the kimono that she wanted, except they need to acquire a fabric. Before leaving to get the silk, Ayaka whispers to Ogura telling her something, Ogura seemed to understood it while Lumine didn't heard them.

So they went to the International Trade Assosication in Ritou. Though the silks were stolen by the vagrants, so they had to investigate. They defeated the ronins who stole the silks, and the player was able to test out Ayaka when fighting the ronins. After Ayaka fought the ronins, Lumine compliments Ayaka though Ayaka tells her that it was nothing and it was just her duty.

Returning to the Ogura Textiles & Kimonos, Ayaka tells Lumine that she was meaning to give her a new outfit for her as well, which means that Ayaka wanted to gave Lumine a new outfit so that was the reason why Ayaka whispered to Ogura. Though she wasn't sure about Lumine wearing Inazuman attire, Lumine told that she was fine with it. Paimon wanted to have some Inazuman outfits so Lumine asks if there were any sizes that fitted for Paimon, though Paimon asks what does that mean since they make them in whatever sizes the customer asks so, Ayaka tells that her interactions were adorable to watch. Ayaka then tells that she can certainly find someone that can make the Inazuman outfits, fit, in Paimon's size. Into which, the player had the option to pick "Ayaka, you're too kind." and "Thanks, but Paimon and I are fine as we are.".

After that, Ayaka tells that she would like to treat her a meal as their next stop. They then went to Kiminami Restuarant. Though it seemed that Ayaka already placed an order for the two of them, Ayaka tells Lumine that she'll be back for a moment. When Lumine talking to Kiminami Anna, she told her that it was her first time hearing that Ayaka is going out for dinner with friends. Kiminami Anna then tells her that Ayaka didn't had a lot of friends which made Lumine surprised.

While talking, Lumine then suddenly heard Ayaka screamed, though Ayaka came back and apologized. She asks what happened, yet Ayaka asks her if she could join her for a moment, she needed her help with something. So when heading towards to the noises, Ayaka apologizes, saying that she had a cooking catastrophe. Lumine already knew how to cook so she then helps Ayaka with it, and then Lumine cooked a mushroom pizza.

Warrior's Spirit
Lumine and Paimon find out about the swordfighting event that the Yashiro Commission is hosting, and head to the Kamisato Estate to gather information. Here they meet Kamisato Ayaka, who reveals she will be having an important role in the event, and seems happy to know that Lumine will be participating as a contestant. She also informs the two that she will be wearing a special outfit for the event, which will be chosen by popular vote.

After some days of dueling, Lumine and Paimon head to the Kamisato Estate once again, excited to see which outfit Ayaka will be wearing. Because of a mistake, though, the people have voted for a Fontaine outfit based on a popular character, which was not supposed to be one of the options. Ayaka is initially uneasy about cosplaying a character, but Lumine encourages her and reassures her she will look good no matter what she wears.

On the last day of the competition, Ayaka wears her when announcing Lumine as the winner of the competition. The two join forces to battle against the final opponent. In the aftermath of the victorious fight, Ayaka and Lumine have a heart-to-heart conversation, away from Paimon, in which Ayaka expresses her admiration for Lumine and her desire to spar with her, to which Lumine readily reciprocates.

Fanon
AyaLumi is a femslash ship within the Genshin Impact fandom that became increasingly popular due to Ayaka's story quest. It's typically overshadowed by more popular ships, such as Thomaya, Ayamiya, ChiLumi, and XiaoLumi.

The two are often shown in very wholesome situations, such as festival dates and holding hands. They are also frequently depicted with Lumine watching Ayaka dance, which is a reference to Grus Nivis. It is heavily implied that Ayaka has a crush on the Traveler, regardless of their gender, so it's widely accepted that Ayaka has feelings for Lumine.

Due to her crush on the Traveler, Ayaka is mostly accepted as bi, with headcanons such as pan and omni being less common but also widely accepted. Lumine is frequently headcanoned as a lesbian, but bi, pan, and omni headcanons are also fairly common.

This ship occasionally creates some "tension" with the het counterpart of the ship, Ayather. In most cases, this tension does not go past casual disagreements. AyaLumi often receives support from players who prefer femslash ships or players who use Lumine as a protagonist.

On AO3, it is Ayaka's most written ship, and Lumine's seventh most written ship, with it being Lumine's most written femslash ship.
