To clarify a little, we don't know how this is paid for. It could be through Gacha or it could be through Paimon's bargains. Anything is possible. We just know that it's through some sort of shop.

The summer events and skins will be based on the upcoming region called Archipelago, where barbara's costume "Summertime Sparkle" will be available as a free reward for completing the Echoing Narration Summer event.

Similarly, Jean's summer event costume is named "Sea breeze Dandelion," but the source to obtain this costume is yet to be revealed.
