Archon Quest
In Chapter 2, the Chapter of Inazuma; Act 1. Lumine finally goes to the Kamisato Estate with Thoma. Thoma tells the Traveler that Ayaka is delighted to finally meet her. Lumine hasn't seen her yet as she is behind the screen. When Ayaka asks Lumine to lend them her power, the Player has the option to choose "I'm just here to meet the Raiden Shogun." and "I did not come to start a rebellion.". Though it took nowhere so then, Lumine was about to leave until Ayaka tells her not too. Ayaka tells Lumine that she will introduce her to the Raiden Shogun in one condition, she wanted her to fulfil 3 small wishes. Lumine accepts these 3 small wishes.

When Lumine is finally done, she returns to the Kamisato Estate to see Ayaka. Lumine finally sees Ayaka in person, Ayaka then bows to Lumine. 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, 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.

Fanon
AyaLumi is a femslash ship within the Genshin Impact fandom that became increasingly popular due to the story quest with Ayaka. It's usually overshadowed by more popular ships, such as Thomaya, Ayamiya, ChiLumi, and XiaoLumi. The ship sailed due to the Archon Quest and Ayaka's Story Quest, mostly due to the fact that Ayaka wanted to spend time with Lumine. Ayaka explicitly stated that she considers Lumine her second friend, with Thoma being her first friend.

In the story quest, Ayaka hangs out with the Traveler for a bit before the former finally stutters out a proposal for the two of them to head off to a festival together. Since Ayaka has never had the chance to participate in such events, she says that she'd like to experience them with Lumine. Many fans saw this as a crush developing on Ayaka's side, as the invitation sounded like Ayaka was asking to go on a date with the traveler. Later on, people shipped this even further when Ayaka showed a dance specifically for Lumine.

Although traveler ships are usually not as popular due to the fact that it is the player's choice to use either Aether or Lumine, AyaLumi seems to be more popular than it's counterpart ship with Aether. AyaLumi is also sometimes paired with Thomaether, as a lot of fans seemed to have unanimously decided to ship Ayaka with Lumine rather than Aether. Regardless, the two are shown to be quite sweet with each other and lots of fanart depict the two spending time together and engaging in heart warming activities.

On AO3, there are currently 30 fanfictions of this pairing.
