The traveler receives a call from Lisa.
Hmm, what's this?
Another Mondstadt number…
Oh, it must be Jean! I did ask Razor to give her my number, after all.
Heh… good boy.
. . .
Heya, Jean!
Wait…
Hanguphanguphangup-
. . .
No…
No god…
No god, please no…
No
No!
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Literally, anyone but her! Please, not her!
Why does she have my number? Why?!
Oh god…
She must've gotten it from Razor or Jean.
Or Kaeya. Honestly, I can see Kaeya giving it to her willingly….
Aw, carp! She's calling me again?! Didn't I block her number just now?
Welp, no one lives forever, I guess…
Just need to send a quick text…
"Please… call… me…. It's an… emergency…"
There. Now to pray that she saves me….
Guess I better answer this "lady"...
Here goes…
. . .
Hello, Lisa-
ACK! Why are you shouting into the phone?!
O-oh, uh… that? Well, I just… my finger slipped!
Sorry for hanging up!
Look, I promise you, I do not have an overdue book.
Oh, good…
So… what's up…?
Um, what? Did I send you flowers?
Uhhhhhhhhhhh….
If there are flowers there, then yes.
If they're ice flowers, then definitely yes.
Haha! I-I'm just kidding! Just kidding!
Please, don't kill me.
S-so, how did you get a hold of my number, h-heh heh.
Found it on Jean's desk?
Yeah, I asked Razor to give it to her since I kinda forgot about that when I left for Liyue.
Er, no, I figured it would be good to keep in touch with Jean in case Mondstadt or the Knights needed me.
That's correct, I am not in a relationship with Jean.
Oh no…
Look, Lisa, I don't think I can make it to Mondstadt today! I'm in Liyue, after all!
T-Teleport waypoints? What are those? I totally have never heard of them before!
Dang it, she saw through me…
I'm really sorry! As much as I'd… ahem… l-love to buy you dinner... I got pressing engagements tonight already.
Yes, I'm busy.
With what? Er, uh…
OH! Keqing is calling me! (Thank Rex Lapis…)
Who's Keqing? Oh, well, uh… you see… she's….
She's someone you definitely do not want to ghost.
Excuse me…
Heya, Keqing!
[Hello, Blue. You wanted to talk? Wait, who is this?]
Oh, this is someone from Mondstadt! Lisa, meet Keqing! She's the Yu-something of the Liyue Qingxin!
[I'm Blue's girlfriend.]
ACK! WAIT, WHAT?!
[So, you're Lisa?]
[Yes, I've heard about you before. You are quite skilled at enforcing the rules of the library.]
[Apparently, that involves swaying an unfortunate traveler into buying dinner and flowers for you.]
[Oh, I'm sorry, I should watch my tone? I do not condone exploiting others for benefit. You should be thankful that you aren't worth my time, else you wouldn't last the rest of the hour.]
Ooh boy…
Uh, l-let's maybe calm down? I-I didn't think Keqing would get so heated….
H-How about I just end the call here?
Y-yeah... cya later, Lisa.
. . .
Keqing, I think we need to have a talk….
["The Yu-somethingof the Liyue Qingxin"? We're not a flower organization.]
Haha… ha… ha…
[Phht! Hehe... I should have expected as much from you, silly.]
So… you're not mad…?
[I think I can let you slide this time. I was likely a bit too harsh with her, but… I could see how much she troubled you.]
Heh, thanks, Keqing. I think I owe you one now.
[No, you don't. Friends help each other, not owe each other. But if you insist, I have a mountain of papers you can help me sift through.]
Haha! I'll bring coffee too.
Okay, but what was that all about, though?! You said you were my gir-
[You wanted her to stop bothering you, yes? Only way to do that is to make her think you're unavailable. You're welcome, by the way.]
Huh… who knew you're secretly a genius? I mean, Lisa is a professional, so we are safe from gossip at least. But she thinks you're with me, so expect her to try to get revenge….
[She wouldn't dare lay a finger on me, thanks to you. If anything, you should expect her to get more persistent with you. So, I guess I'll be on standby if you need to get rescued again.]
HEY!
[Heh. Now, if there's nothing else, those papers will not sign themselves. Later, Blue.]
Haha! All right, I'll see ya later, Keqing. And thanks again!
