[ After Passing Dawn Winery ]
[(Y/N)'s POV]
It would be a great time to say, that I wish I really took a transportation item with me
After the talk at Jean's office, We went off to visit Liyue and probably have a vacation there, or something I guess...
Although I thought they had a horse in here or something I guessed not... We are literally walking on foot... ON FOOT TO A FARAWAY PLACE!
"I miss my flag..." I said out loud in sadness, I really do miss that flag, it looked cool and all and gave me help when casting my support skills, but I guess good things always have a time for its ending...
"Milord, We could ask the blacksmiths back in Liyue to make you one" Ganyu said, suddenly appearing beside me like a ghost she is (She'd work well if she was an assassin type but meh) "Ganyu, that flag held my memorable moments, nothing could ever replace that..."
She stared at me with a frown before lowering her head "I'm sorry" I quickly shake my head "No need to be sorry, it was a nice suggestion though, people have to move on after all" I laughed while I cried in the inside. Like hell, I'd move on from that loss! That flag cost me like, 20 million!
"Reminds me, Why do you use a flag, (Y/N)?" Jean started to slow down to talk with us "Oh, It's simple actually!" I said with a smile on my face, Happy to talk about how cool it is to use a flag "It's related to my Class, Flags help me to use my support magic faster with greater effects, although it's different from others due to the fact that I have to have 3 or more people in my field for my skills to work, it pays off greatly" I said with a proud smile, My urges to flex kicks in
"But hey! Unlike other cl-"
"Prepare!"
Keqing's sudden shout made me frown as I held my spear. this is so sad, my only flex moment, Ruined!
...I realized one thing too. My skills are limited, My Mana thread is useable but only for a short-range, I can't do my epic Summoning but I can summon quite a few items. My support skills are greatly weakened due to
A.) I have no flag
B.) Mana is limited
As long as it's not that much of a big deal, I can at least probably deal with the problem...
Aaaand of course, i jinxed it
"Look what we have here!" An annoying voice boomed over the cliffs as dozens of thugs with bad fashion senses started to appear "You crossed the wrong territory princess!" The voice said with a smug as 20 of the things seemed to be heavily armored to the point you really can't call them thugs anymore, they're just iron sinkholes at this point
"Tch... Everyone!" Keqing's voice made her own guards brace themselves for battle...
...
Oh I think I just had a Jimmy neutron brain blast
"Hold it," I said, causing Keqing and her soldiers to look at me in confusion, before I slowly walked to the front, keeping my spear at my back "Now listen here you ugly people with bad fashion sense" I shouted as I started to use Mana thread, and began forming a star on my hand with it "If you bozos don't take a diddly darn step away from us and leave us alone I'll feed you a star," I said with my most threatening voice could make while forcing the thread to repeatedly form a star in a fast pace, making it glow bright. Now hopefully this scare tactic would work and i-
"I-ITS THE GOD OF MONDSTADT! RUUUN!"
That shout caused me to lose focus and caused the thread to fire a straight beam to the ground, Excuse me? God of Mondstadt who now?!?
"F-fuck this I'm not paid enough for this!"
"Screw you all! I'm out of here!"
One after another, almost all of the thugs that threatened us left, throwing their weapons on the ground and fleeing as far as possible "B-bastards!" The smug voice from earlier was now turned into a voice filled with fear as all of the thugs disappeared from sight
...
Oh my God wait till you all realize that skill is harmless, I'd laugh at everyone's reaction at that! Ahahahahah! "(Y/N)! You shouldn't be using your Mana!" Jean scolded me as she grabbed my shoulder "we could manage that you know?!"
"Jean-san, that skill was literally my Mana thread..."
....
....
In the end, I got beaten up and still scolded by Jean and somehow, Lumine also involved herself in and joined with the scolding, and soon after that, the journey to Liyue Continued with Ganyu dragging me with ease
~~~~~~~~~~~•~~~~~~~~~~•~~~~~~~~~~~•~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(No one's PoV)
"Tch... Everyone, Hold!" Keqing's voice once again caused the soldiers to grab their weapon "Ganyuuuuuu let me go I have legs!" (Y/N) tried to break free from Ganyu's grasp but failed "Just stay put okay? Let us handle it" Grabbing her sword, Jean patted (Y/N) in his head before shouting "Show yourself!"
"We wish to not fight" the man's clothes made Jean glare "What does an Agent of Fatui want with us?" the man quickly pulls out a letter "A message directed to (Y/N)-sama, Farewell" the man threw the letter towards Jean before disappearing "...I don't like this," Jean said as she slowly opened the letter
"Hey! Was that letter directed to you?!? No!" (Y/N) protested "I will read the letter myself!" He snatches the letter from Jean's hands, somehow breaking free from Ganyu's grasp "Ahahah, if this is a love letter then I'm lucky!" He gleefully says before opening the letter and began reading the letter, his eyes moved quickly before stopping, the letter escaped from his hands but was caught by Lumine "What did it say?" Asked Jean
"I'll read it then," Lumine said before speaking the contents of the letter
"Sir (Y/N)
YES
meet me at wuwang hill, 24. Don't bring anyone else"
"...that's it?" Jean looked at the letter herself "That is... unexpected..." Lumine sweatdropped as she tucked the letter on (Y/N)'s pockets before grabbing one of his arms "I'll help Ganyu drag you, let's go" Lumine said, Ganyu nodded in silence as picked up (Y/N)'s other arm before dragging him alongside Lumine
Soon the Adventure to Liyue continued... with a slight few talks about being jealous at the treatment (Y/N) was getting
"I don't wanna go there...."
"Why does it have to be there..."
"That woman is crazy as fuck..."
(Y/N)'s rambling caused Lumine to worry for a bit "Are you okay, (Y/N)?" Lumine looked at the man who quickly let out a sob "Noooo" he whined for a second before looking at Lumine with tear-filled eyes "I don't want to go to Wuwang..." The face made Lumine panic a bit "T-then don't go there...?"
"B-but i-its her!" He yelled quietly, causing Lumine to be curious "...her?" He immediately nodded "She knows my secrets! She knows too much about me!" His face slowly filled with despair and fear "S-she even knows my favorites and has pictures of me! She even has blackmail material against m-"
"Alright then, let's go there!" Lumine's sudden change of mood from worry to Excited caused (Y/N) to go pale "Hey Keqing? How long until our stop?" Lumine gleefully asked as the Yuheng of Liyue looked at her with a raised eyebrow "in a few minutes we should be arriving in Wangshu Inn, we will stay there for a day before continuing to Liyue" Keqing replied to her question, making Lumine smile "Thanks!"
"You hear that (Y/N)? We can go to Wuwang hill later!"
Lumine's happy voice was replaced immediately by a quick gasp as (Y/N) was now shaking in fear so quick that Ganyu was also now shaking
~~~~~~~~~~~•~~~~~~~~~~•~~~~~~~~~~~•~~~~~~~~~~~~~
( Wuwang hill, At the middle of the night )
[ Still, no one's POV ]
"Stop being scared (Y/N)!"
Lumine's effort to keep (Y/N) calm down continued to not work as the man was shaking harder than before
"B-but what if-"
C r a c k
(Y/N) froze on the spot as Lumine immediately drew her sword and pointed at the direction of the noise "...stay here for a minute" Lumine said as she slowly advanced towards a bush, she slowly raised her sword before slashing horizontally
In the bush was a small bunny, luckily dodging the slash of her sword, it quickly flee ran away from her causing Lumine to sigh in relief and smile as she turned to face (Y/N) "See? There's no need to be scared about..."
(Y/N) was nowhere to be found
She sweatdropped for a bit "did I go too far? I thought it was just near..." She muttered as she backtracked, unknown to her a grinning girl hid behind the trees, giggling as she moved to another tree
(Meanwhile with (Y/N)...)
"I should be... Okay from here" (Y/N) said as he catches his breath "Ghosts... This place is filled with ghosts..." he takes a deep breath and calms down "They are only ghosts... It's okay," he says before standing straight with a relieved face "okay... Remember this is a different world... Not the original one... I don't have to get haunted by weird ghost girls now..." He mutters to himself again
"There you are"
The random sudden voice made (Y/N) quickly grab his spear and turn around with panicked eyes
"bitchiknoweverypurificationspellsouttheresoifyoufuckingdaretotouchmeiwillpurifyyoutooblivionyoughost"
The figure paused for a moment before shaking her head "Anyways..." The figure grabbed her mask before putting it away
"Specialist Kurume, at your service," she says with a bow before handing out a letter "There has been a commotion within the ranks of Fatui, some have chosen to rebel against the order and seek for your aid," she said with a serious tone as (Y/N) calmed down and took the letter from the girl "...What is this?"
"The letter includes a map and a small badge, the map contains where the rebels' hideout is, Show the badge to some of the Fatui agents scattered around Teyvat and you'll get recognized," She says with a Stern tone "however if some does not react to it, please be informed that they are not with the rebellion"
(Y/N) tilts his head "hang on... So what is this rebellion all about?" The girl stared at him for a moment before talking again with a straight face "It began when rumors of what you did spread across the whole wor-"
"Of course it's about my Mana management..." He interrupted her for a second before shaking his head "Scratch that, here's another question" he says before glaring at Kurume "Why in the world are you telling me this and should I trust you" he asks as he grips his spear tightly
"...Because you are this world's hope, as for your trust issues..." She stops for a moment before dropping her blade to the ground "Use me as you wish" this made (Y/N) raise an eyebrow "Use you as I wish huh..." (Y/N) says before slowly walking towards her before stopping right behind her, The girl gulped before closing her eyes "please be gentle..." she mutters under her breath
"Wish I had clothes like this... it looks cool"
(Y/N) softly grasps a part of her hood "the fabric here is so nice to hold... you're like a walking plushie..." he said in a daze "...oh! it smells a bit flower-ish! that's a +10" The girl stood still, unfazed by the fingers she can feel touching the hood of her cloak "Yeah, that's enough I guess"
(Y/N) stopped grabbing before walking away, but not before stopping near a tree "I still don't trust you, but I'll take your offer up for now but..." he turns back to face her with a glare "I'm not fond of any betrayal cliche, so don't expect to walk out alive if I happen to know what you plan, got it?"
Kurume stood still before nodding "Understood" Sighing and muttering something, (Y/N) quickly turned around and ran to find Lumine, unknown to him however, Kurume looked at him leave before putting on her mask and walking towards another direction
( On his quest to find Lumine, (Y/N) continued thanking the people up above that it wasn't who he thought it was, before being spooked by Lumine, who also got spooked by him that she slapped him out of nowhere and causing him to faint once again )

[ (Y/N)'s POV ]
I probably skipped a lot of things, like Breakfast and making my spear S H A R P
I plan on doing them all once we all arrived at Liyue, which I'm guessing is not going to be anytime soon, so to waste time, let's go over what happened last time, shall we?
Apparently, Lumine got spooked in the forest as well, she won't even tell what happened and just wants me to go there myself. Says it's for fun and all but I find that very very threatening so yeah I'm not going there anytime soon. as soon as we met she kinda slapped me hard to the point I blacked out, she dragged me back to the Wangshu inn with the help of someone, Got herself scolded by Jean
And now, to the present day
we are still walking, f u ck
"I don't wanna walk anymoreeeee" I cried out loud, wheres the chariots!? the horses!? man, I miss my horse... makes me wonder if it's still alive or not "You are literally getting dragged, and you're telling me that you are tired of walking?" Jean said in disappointment "Oh yeah... why am I being dragged anyways?"
"..."
"..."
What's with the stare? oh well "Ganyu, Lumine, you can stop dragging me now," I said, causing the both of them to let go of my hand "hah.... how are you not tired... after that... Ganyu?" Lumine asked in exhaustion as she stretched her back "Lots of work under Madam Keqing is also an exercise" Replied Ganyu with a proud tone, before getting an idea "Why don't you try being Madam Keqing's assistant?"
Lumine quickly denied her offer "no thanks! I'm not good at paperwork!" Ganyu frowned at her response. Hahaha! i can relate to that Lumine! now let's see where we are... woah
"I see...Ah! but its not really just paperwork you know? there's also the-"
"WO-HO-OAAAAH! THIS VIEW IS FUUUUUCKING MAJESTIC!" I shouted at the top of my lungs as I gazed the beautiful scenery
Man, I wish I had a camera...

Man... the hot milk really helped.. anyways let's start addressing stuff!

Anyways, Kurume!
Hnn... I forgor!
I couldn't happen to find any Artwork of a female Fatui agent that looks like it's from assassin's creed uh... I forgot that dude, anyways!
I wasn't sure if she looked a bit futuristic to blend in within Genshin but uh, the more that I look at it, the more I'm convinced it's actually just her armor... yeah! it's just her armor! The reason why she looks like that should be obvious now that the Inazuma place is released, no?
So let's just... forget about the metalish looking shoulder guard over there and lets uh... wait for the new update!
