[ No one's POV ]
Lumine laughed a little as she look at the two battle before looking at the sky... how long has it been since these two have been going all out against each other?
"WAAAAAAAAAAH! LET PAIMON DOWN YOU MONSTER!!!"
"Im trying to fish! Calm down!"
Lumine giggled them again as she watched them from afar.... When was the last time she had experienced this kind of fun with her brother...? Lumine quickly shook her head and decided to think of other things to handle...
Currently she need to repay Venti by doing something for him but she still needed to get the full version of his plan, She also needed to help Lisa on her problem... then there's this thing bout Investigating (Y/N)'s Actions during night time since he was quite active... She might as well use that investigation to learn more about him...
...
...
She quickly shook her head in embarrassment... just why does she keep on thinking like that?!?! "Alright, Alright (Y/N) calm now! i still need Paimon's help!" She shouted which made (Y/N) look at her with a slight annoyed face "But i want to get fish and have you cook it! That Meat dish you made was so yummy!" That made her froze in the spot
'He...He actually liked it?!?! M-my h-heart...'
THUD
"Lumine?!" (Y/N) quickly ran off towards Lumine, ignoring the tied up and Powerless Paimon wiggling in the ground "LET PAIMON GO FIRST YOU MONSTER!" As (Y/N) ran, he quickly looked back to Paimon and shouted back "NAAAAAH, DON'T THINK I COULD DO FISH BAIT! I DONT KNOW HOW TO UNTIE!"
"CURSE YOU!!!! PAIMON WILL GET YOU FOR THIS!!!!"
He laughed a little before continuing his run to Lumine, However of course... everything good will always be stopped by evil....
He proceeds to trip on a rock and get knocked out

[ 8 : 23 PM ]
[ Front of the Knight's Headquarters ]
Lumine Stretched her body as he finished carrying (Y/N) to the couch on Jean's Room... Surely she wouldn't mind right...? she sighed as she walked towards the stairs leading to the cathedral... seriously if there was one thing she would like... is to have an... E...eli...what was it again that (Y/N) said...?
...
Elivaetor?
Elibaitor?
...
She snapped her fingers as she reached the conclusion, it was indeed called an Elevator!... and then she sighed once again, if there was one in here right now then maybe she didn't have to walk on the stairs that much...
'Ugh... i hope Im not too late...' she thought as she slowly picked up the pace from going upstairs, taking a small breather by the time she reached the top, she sat near the ledge of the stairs while looking at the cathedral... 'it better be worth it' she thought... if she wasn't doing this she would had been resting at the tavern with Paimon by now....
....
...
...
Now that she think about it... why didn't she brought (Y/N) to the Tavern?
...
He would had been such a great mood restorer with such a great sleeping face too...
...
She quickly shook her head, she really needs to focus on her objective right now... But damn just the face of (Y/N) sleeping was too much that she wished she had a way to keep it as a memory.... She shook her head again. This time Focusing her sights on the cathedral. She stood up from the ledge and slowly walked to the huge building, stopping by its huge doors to take a breather before entering the cathedral
As she expected it, the inside of the building was majestic, she slowly made her way to the middle of the room to find Venti hiding by a pillar looking at someone else. she also looked at where he was looking at too and found out it was a woman
Could Venti perhaps asked her to help him successfully confess his love? She slowly walked to him and tapped him on his shoulder, causing him to jump a little "H-huh?! o-oh its you..." he scratches his head for a sec before looking at her "Alright.... Listen very very carefully! This is what we are going to do..." Venti took a breather before continuing on explaining his plans for today.
Lumine was unsure the whole time if Venti was too shy to confess to the nun that he changed his plans to steal a lyre or that was the whole plan this entire time..
[ Somewhere in Jean's workplace....
"Haaah... Finally a break..." Jean sighed heavily as she slowly walked to the sofa with a tired face. She didn't even bother on how she sat on the sofa either, although she has to say, The newly added red blanket by Noelle really made the Sofa look better
"...I don't remember this couch being this uncomfy to sit on..." Jean spoke her thoughts out loud but sighed once again, she didn't have the energy to think of why was the couch like this... "h-help.... a-air...."
The call of help from a certain voice that she knows very well caused her to quickly stood up and look at the somehow sleeping (Y/N) ]

[ Back with Lumine... ]
"Do you really have to sneak in?!?" Paimon whispered angrily at the girl who was hiding near a wall "Venti said he could help have the stormterror calm down after all... Plus we don't have to get everyone at the risk of dying that way..." Lumine reasoned to Paimon who then seemed to stop to think for a moment before ending up with a shrug and disappearing from her side
Lumine sighs before slowly moving up to another wall to hide on, slowly peeking at the corner just in case a guard was patrolling. 'Hmm... I wonder if this would be just easier if I asked Him to come with me...' she stops for a second 'ah... But he did get knock out by tripping on a rock... What a klutz he is" she giggled to herself before peeking out of the corner once again and moving to a new cover
"Hey have you heard about (Y/N)?" A conversation between a female guard and a male guard caught her attention "Ah, our instructor? Not going to lie but that flag of his feels like a blessing..." The man said dreamily "When we were having a break, it was so hot and then, hear me out, His flag turned light blue for a second before this circle appeared and then he asked us to gather around the flag"
'it must had been him using his Cryo skills...' Lumine thought "And then, the whole circle was like... So cold! It was at the perfect temperature for the hot afternoon!" The man continued speaking as the girl nodded "Do you think he is better than Kaeya?" The girl asked a question which led the man to quickly change his expression
"Hell no atleast Kaeya's Training schedule for us doesn't involve having to go up and down from those damn stairs near the cathedral"
It caused Lumine to sweatdrop "Although I feel a bit stronger thanks to that I guess..." Feeling like she had learned everything that was needed for the conversation, Lumine decided to move to the next cover
'To think that his training sounds like a torture...' Lumine finally managed to sneak in while thinking about (Y/N)'s training schedule. The lyre was right in front of her eyes, Clean and beautiful as it should had been... She slowly reached out for the lyre but then
She became alerted and quickly hopped backwards as a purple slash appeared right in front of her "Sorry sweetie, but this is mine now" the coated person said as she took the lyre and looked at Lumine with a smug smile "perhaps if you were faster... Hahahaha!" Before disappearing to the ground
She wanted to figure out who that was but the sudden footsteps behind her quickly alerted her "Hey you! Your not supposed to be here!"
'Damnit... I got caught...' She quickly released a force of air from her palm at the guard causing him to hit the wall and started to dash her way out of the place
"There's an intruder! After her!"
"Don't let her escape!"
She sighed as she hopped over boxes and sprinted towards the stairs wondering 'Who was that...?', reaching the main floor of the cathedral, she quickly rushed to the main door and quickly opened it, scaring Venti once again
"A-ah! Stop scaring me like that!" He said with an angry tone before calming down "Anyways Did you get the-"
"She went through the main door!"
The shout was enough to alarm Venti "Ah, we could talk later. Quick! Follow me!" He quickly grabbed the exhausted Lumine by her hand and ran down the very long stairs and through an street she didn't recognize "W-where are you taking me...?" Lumine says in an exhausted tone, Venti didn't reply as he continued to drag her through the streets
They kept on running until Venti quickly stopped and took a sharp turn, causing Lumine to be sent flying a little before Venti opened a door and pulled her in before closing the door in hurry "Master diluc, about this months expenses..."
She looked up to see a bartender and a man with a scarlet-hued hair who were staring at them "Ahahaha, please excuse us for a moment" Venti said as he raised a hand and sweatdropped while slowly dragging Lumine to the stairs and to the second floor
He dragged her to the least suspicious table and sat her on another chair before sitting on his own "So... Did you get it...?" Venti exhaustedly asked the worn out girl, who responded with a shook of her head "Someone Took it..." Lumine responded which caused Venti to be surprised "Eh? someone took it?!"
"Mhm, it was someone wearing purple" Lumine leaned on the table as she took a breather, The noise of the door opening stopped their conversation to a halt "Ah Sir Diluc! Have you seen someone with a blonde hair walk by here?" Lumine looked over the railing to spot a heavily armed guard...?!
'That kind of Armor.... What is that!?' Lumine's eyes widened by the sight of the armor the guard was carrying, even 'Diluc' was surprised at the man! "Ah... i believe they went further down the street" The walking armor nodded before saying "Thank you, sir Diluc!"
"Hold on" The armor looked at Diluc with a questioning vibe "Yes, sir Diluc?" Diluc points at the armor the man was wearing "Did Jean order that to be made?" The armor shook its helmet in disagreement "Instructor (Y/N) has given this as a gift for managing to keep up from the training, He said it would protect us from any danger" Diluc nodded before sending the guy off
"Charles, Get me some info about this '(Y/N)' individual" Diluc quickly turned back to the bartender who nodded "It shall be done" With a sigh of relief, Venti took his time to once again continue his conversation "let's go somewhere else shall we?" Lumine nodded, she didn't had anymore else to say to the man in green as she was once again slowly dragged downstairs to the door
"You two, stop right there" Before Venti could even reach the door, the man with the scarlet-hued hair stopped the both of them "A-ah y-yeah about that! i-i'll play some other day o-okay?" Venti struggled to speak, the man gave them more pressure " Were you the people that the 'Knight' has been looking for?"
Lumine nodded, there was no use hiding it now "H-hey?!" A confused Venti let out a word with his confused tone. Diluc only sighed "You two better have a good reason to why that guard was looking for you or i might as well hand you two in myself"
"A-ah... well.... about that..." Venti couldn't form any sentence at all, he quickly looked at Lumine for help but Lumine's face told him nothing, causing him to sweat once again "Y-you see... the thing is..." Scratching his head in embarassment, Venti only laughed and tried to change the subject "Y-you know... i can pl-"
"Don't even bother changing the subject, Tell me the truth now"
Venti's head went down in defeat. the door opening caught his attention as he plotted for escape but the thought was quickly cancelled "Sorry for being...late? Lumine? what are you doing here?" Jean's voice alerted Lumine, She's in deep trouble now...
Lumine could had only sighed as she started to explain what happened...

[ For some reason, still no one's PoV ]
( Outside of the Knights Headquarters )
"Sheesh.... what a rude wake up call..."
(Y/N) stretches his body and looks at the night sky "...oh damn i slept this late? no wonder Jean woke me up" he said in a surprised tone before summoning his flag and yawning "although there was no reason for her to sit in my chest..." he slowly starts to wander around the building
"Hmm... what should i do? there wasn't anything good to do today and there's no game consoles around here..." taking small steps down the stairs, he started thinking "If only i could get Miru here" he sighed before stopping and realizing something else
"Ah! the bar! of course!" He happily summoned a portal to his Spatial storage before putting a hand in it, seemingly trying to fetch something "Here it is!" He pulled out a ticket of some sorts with some shabbily written words
"Klee said this should work for free drinks" he grinned as he thought of the sight of him drinking five glasses of nice wine "Ah i cant wait anymore!" he excited jumped which was mistake to do when you are unknowingly walking towards a railing
A series of event unfolded too fast and before he knows it, (Y/N) tripped over the railing and fell on his butt at the ground, his tailcoat getting wet the more it stayed in the small pond "ugh... Damn you railing!" he stands up and looks at the metal bar with pure anger "One day.... i will hunt you down and murder you!"
The bar didn't respond, almost as if it was staring back at him with a smug attitude "Wait why am i acting like its a scene from a kids show..." (Y/N) quickly shook his head and went to his way towards the entrance of the city "As i remembered... the bar was riiiiiiight this way!" he points at a direction and quickly started to walk, passing by the empty blacksmith stall...
'Hold on... was there a blacksmith stall when i was finding the bar...?' he stopped and looked at the anvil '... yeah im going to the wrong direction, to the other direction!' He quickly spun around and started walking as if nothing happened
'Now what should I order... Ah, I could go for something related to Sake? But they might not have some' he scratches the back of his head as he walked 'maybe some beer would do...'
He quickly stops walking after seeing two shadowy individuals near the door to the bar he was going to "Imitation : Stealth Field" he stand his flag at the ground as it glowed gray before covering him with a grayish aura, he slowly took some steps before reaching the two individuals who was eavesdropping
"Quickly take note, Their planning on helping the Stormterror" (Y/N) tilted his head 'What now?' he took another step forward to get a better hearing on their conversation "Sir... How would this help us?" One man in a cloak asked the other
"Intel dumbass, This would make the Fatui stronger" Hearing the name 'Fatui' cause (Y/N) to snicker, losing his stealth ad the two were alarmed and quickly grabbed their swords "Who's there?!?"
"Pffft.... What a boring ass name that was" (Y/N) slowly appeared right in front of their eyes "Couldn't you come up with a better name? Like Ruler of the underworld or something?" He giggles a little before summoning a Karambit "Back to business, I can't just let you hear someone's important conversation now can I?"
His Karambit started glowing beautifully in the night "So how about you hand in yourselves to the knights?" The two silhouette looked at each other before moving forward to attack him "Ah, I didn't say attacking me was an option!" (Y/N) said as he prepared a stance
He quickly parried a swing with his knife and grabbed the edge of sword of the other person with his left hand. (Y/N) quickly kicked the man who immediately was forced to let go of the sword that (Y/N) was holding. The other silhouette quickly took the time to punch him but (Y/N) quickly kicked him in the guts "Woopsies that was a habit, sorry"
The other man began to run forward to him again in an attempt to grab the sword back but (Y/N) immediately tossed the sword at the side and punched the man directly in the face before kicking the man in the face "that was also a habit, extra sorry!" (Y/N) said before looking back at the man he was parrying with "Hey, apologize for me will ya? I don't know what that guy's name is"
The guy who he was parrying with broke contact with him and went in for a stab in the chest, however (Y/N) deflected the attack and grabbed the man by the neck and threw him to the floor while stabbing him in the legs "AAAA- HMPPP" (Y/N) quickly covered his mouth and slapped him "Learn manners, you know the neighborhood is asleep!"
"You bastard..." The other guy slowly stood up with a potion "You messed with the wrong people..." The guy quickly opened the cork of the potion and drank it in one gulp before throwing the now empty bottle on the ground "I will kill you!" (Y/N) just rolled his eyes "Violation of messing with the clean environment. sheesh you two don't have manners at all don't you?"
(Y/N) quickly took the karambit from the legs of the guy crying in pain and attempted to stab the approaching man which resulted in failure as the man quickly sidestepped and prepared to punch him only for (Y/N) to catch his fist with his other hand "To think you would actually sidestep from that attack, you just got into the 'Not a stupid npc that knows how to walk and run in one direction' list you random person!" (Y/N) says before throwing him towards the door of the bar
It made a loud noise, although the door didn't open, (Y/N) quickly grabbed the man who was in the ground bleeding and proceeded to use him as a breaching charge to the guy who was still recovering from the throw
The door ended up breaking, causing the now two bandit looking people go unconscious "Didn't know a human body could work as a substitute for a big log!" (Y/N)'s head popped in the door frame and gave a surprised face as he saw A shocked and armed Jean look at him, alongside of Lumine who seemed to have her sword pointed at him, Venti who was confused. And one angry Diluc
(Y/N) laughed a little, trying to remove the weird atmosphere "so are you guys here for some drinks too?"

You might be wondering why this was the only chapter I posted for now, well the thing is...
I kinda ran out of space for my schedule... And I felt like I took too much time on 'writing' when in truth I was just doing research...
Hnn.... I feel like that wasn't the only reason I only posted this one chapter... Ah yeah!
If you look at my message board, there is an ongoing request station that you can write on.... Ehh I can't find the words for it...
You can write a request for a harem book in there, any series I wouldn't mind at all! Well... Not any series really... Just like... Almost near anime or something I can probably do...
I already have a few books planned like an Arknights x male reader, A crossover of Azur Lane and GFL x Male reader, and a princonnect...guess what?
X male reader
There's also a D4DJ request in there in case your a fan of it
That will be all for today, I will be taking a break now, Goody baii
(P.S : This chapter was a bit problematic for little ol me, I ran out of ideas for this chapter and I kinda told everyone that I might not update for a while since I'm talking to my typesetter and all but eh.... I can't think straight anymore soooo )
