Hi, hi c: Sorry if it had been too long since I last updated- I will admit, I was lazy :") But at the same time, I am writing another dumb crossover.

Sooo, about this chapter, it was meant to be some kind of filler for Ganyu and Dragan to hang out, and it would probably be the same next chapter except with Brave. Honestly, when you tried to write characters with like 5 episodes in the anime in a long love story square, it ain't gonna be easy, yo. I had to take my time and played Tag Force 6 just to see how they would act around non-team member in general.

You may or may not noticed, but Ganyu is already that close to Dragan. Apologies, I am kind of bias, I always see Dragan as a kind of gentle giant.
Also, I sincerely apologised that this was shorter than usual ;-;

Well, merry reading!


After breakfast, I stayed in the luxurious living room and asked Harald about what Lynae talked to me about. Instead of declining nor questioning further, he was interested rather.

"Ah... I have heard of Neo Domino City, surely. In fact, you could say it's one of the major cities for dueling." He said to me, how important can a card game get its own specific locations? Though, it must have been awfully crucial to the world somehow. Honestly, it did sound unfair to just go away for a bit with only Lynae only, I felt like it would be appropriate to ask Harald and the other two to come as well.

"Would you want to come with us? I mean, it won't be now..." I sipped the Darjeeling tea and leaned on the cushion on the couch, crossing my legs.

"Do you mean just me or...?" Harald looked slightly up from his book.

"Oh, I meant you, Dragan and Brave, of course!" I sat up, "I would never leave you three!" I smiled, assuring him. Thankfully, I could see a smile appear in his face as well and he gave out a chuckle. Again, with his effortlessly charming self. Honestly, every time I look at him, I could just imagine him walking through the street and every man and woman would cast their eyes on him. Not only his looks, his aura as well, along with personality. He had no sign of aggression from what I have seen.

"You're so sweet, Ganyu." He put down his book and looked at me again, "So... Are you going to do anything today? You can go outside if you want." Harald looked outside, "It is a fine day, too. Though, I will just stay indoors today, I am just a bookworm after all." He chuckled. After he said that, I did think I should explore the area a little since I might need to be familiar with it.

"If you say so... Then, I will head out. See you later, Harald." I got up and gave him a smile before leaving the living room, going back to my room to choose something to wear. Though, it was a little difficult to pick what seemed right without Lynae and I wasn't sure what went well with what. Nevertheless, I managed to pick out a pastel blue dress with pale yellow cardigan. I was happy, honestly.

I went out of Harald's mansion and was greeted with the front yard full of many kinds of flowers. How did I not notice them before? They were all beautiful and clearly had been taken care of. White, red, pink, yellow, purple, you could see them all. They were so pretty and colourful, I wouldn't even eat them if I could. As I stepped out of the gate, I was already confused as to where I should go.

"Ganyu?" Someone called out my name, he sounded like Dragan to me. I turned around and it was definitely him.

"Ah, Dragan!" I smiled brightly and leaned closer to him, excited and relieved at the same time. I thought it would be easier to ask Dragan to accompany me, he may or may not know his way around here already. If not, it would still be easier to go around together. "Can, can I ask you a favour?" Hopefully, he accepted.

"Of course," He ruffled my hair, giving me a faint smile. "I don't mind helping you." He tapped my horn slightly before taking his hand off. Despite his muscular body, his hand was careful and gentle, and it was topped with his serious yet kind personality, and I honestly feel safe around him so I was sure he was the one to asked out for today.

"Is it okay if you could come with me? I want to go somewhere, but I am not familiar with this area at all. Is it okay if you come with me?" I looked into his eyes, while my eyes brimmed with hopefulness and thrills. I already knew the answer though, I thought I should at least act it up like I really, really wanted to go outside. Honestly, what kind of building and architecture would this word have?

"Sure. How about... Would you like to go to the nearby mall?" Dragan suggested.

The... mall?

"What's a mall?" When I said that, Dragan looked concerned.

"Oh, well, I will show you." Dragan took my hand and we started walking. As we went into a more social area, more started people seemed to be walking around, chatting and laughing. It was a very lively view. For me, this was a rare opportunity since being stuck in an office being a secretary made me a very dedicated person. I kind of forgot anything about the outside world after constantly working for thousands of years. Although it wasn't the same harbour I saw, it was definitely a nice change of pace. Then, I spotted multiple buildings, low and high. Some were like Harald but much smaller, some buildings had multiple windows on them, and finally 'the mall' Dragan led me to. Hold on a moment, stairs moved? "Well, here we are. Honestly, this is bigger than I expected it to be."

I- I was speechless. Everything looked crowded but also very spacious, there were so many stores selling anything imaginable. I couldn't help but simply stare at the place in amazement. Until Dragan brought me back to reality.

"Here," He said, putting a black headband just in front of my horns. "I know you said your horns are headdresses of some kind, but I thought others might get the wrong idea." He gently patted my head and then lowered his hand to gently place his hand on my shoulder. His hand felt gentle and warm, very comforting and I could tell he cared for me deeply despite us only meeting a couple of days ago. I could say he was another Harald, but he felt warmer and approachable.

"You're so kind, Dragan." I started to walk through the mall while looking around for what interested me, while at the same time realised that Harald did give me some money. "You must be acquainted with hanging out with friends." I chuckled, though I honestly didn't know if he actually was used to having a significant other or not. Actually, that was kind of a rude assumption, I felt like.

"Well, I used to have more friends than now, and hung together more often back then. I usually just focused on my duelling, before... You know?" Dragan looked slightly upset at the last part of his saying, understandably so after what he said. Though, why did he lose his pride? Was there something that happened before we met him? At the same time, I was curious but I felt like it would be upsetting for me to ask him. "Well, anything you would like to check out?"

"Can we check out this store?" I pointed at a clothing store with mostly pastel clothes, and a glass window displaying a life-sized white doll wearing the same style of clothing. He nodded and went into the boutique with me, though it looked like he hesitated a little. As we went to the shop, I witnessed more and more clothes ranging from tops, skirts, trousers and even dresses, it was just a paradise with pastel clothing. They were such cute clothes, I wondered if I could maybe try some of them? "Oh! This one look adorable!" I scuttled toward a simple yet elegant light blue dress with a black ribbon brooch in the middle with white collars, and the sleeves looked like it stopped around the elbow. I also noticed next to it were some accessories consisting white, pink, black and other colours that could very well match the dress.

"You can try it on." Dragan bopped his head to a certain direction, which displayed the 'Fitting Room' section of the boutique. It was a tiny room with a cherry-blossom pink curtain. Though, I was a little sceptical if it would suit me, but I thought I should at least see if it was good on me. "Hold on, hmmm..." He picked up a pair of white sandals with high heels and gave it to me, I was guessing it could look good with the dress. "I am sure you will look fine." He reassured me. To be totally honest, I thought he would be a little more awkward, but he was quite sociable.

The curtain was open so it was vacant for sure, I went in and closed the curtain behind me, making sure there was nowhere to peek. I got changed into the blue dress, careful to not ruin the tag, of course. Then, I put on the shoes and looked at myself in the mirror. Surprisingly, it suited me very well, more than I thought actually. I was quite shocked to find out that a different style of Liyue clothing would suit me this much, it was also more comfortable like something you could wear in the summer. I opened the curtain again and showed myself to Dragan who was waiting.

"Um... Do I look good?" I was nervous, very much so even if I was confident. When I had a look at his face, it was red and stunned, even. Wh-which was it? Was I surprisingly looking good or ugly in the dress?

"Ganyu...?" He walked up to me and looked at me from head-to-toe multiple times, he sounded like he was going to faint from looking at me. Oh, he was blushing, a lot. He sighed and softly ruffled my hair, instead of maybe hugging and squeezing me. He seemed like something he would do when he found something cute, I think. At least he liked how I looked. "I-I love it a lot..." He quickly looked away; his cheeks still lit up. Oh! Glad he liked it!

"I was thinking of buying it, honestly. So, it was a very big assurance that you liked it!" I softened my expression and smiled. This was such a rare experience for me, coming outside with someone beside business purposes and getting new clothes. Though, Dragan must like it very much... "Well, if you will excuse me." I went back to take off the dress and shoes, getting changed back to what I had before. After we made a purchase at the shop, we decided to go to the top floor which had a food court, according to Dragan, but it seemed to be true just glancing at the map of the mall.

As we sat down with our meal for lunch, I at least thought of a conversation starter. However, we both were distracted by the absolutely delicious food, they looked similar to Mondstadt cuisine but there were also stores that had Liyue-like cuisines so I ended up buying one of each. Though, I wasn't sure if I could manage to stuff them down my throat, but I honestly couldn't help it!

"Uuuuuh... Will I get fat from eating all of this?" I mumbled, but it seemed Dragan heard what I said.

"Nah, you won't. Don't worry about it, Ganyu. Honestly, you would look cute either way, in my opinion." He sure knew how to reassure me. But then again, what if I can't fit in my clothes if I ate too much...? I honestly should stop thinking about all of these, or I will lose my appetite.

"By the way, Dragan..." As I said his name, he looked at me, waiting for what I was going to say, "Sorry if this is rude, but what made you go to the snow mountain when we found you?" I knew it was an uncomfortable question, but it was indeed upsetting when he sighed.

"Oh, I didn't say anything about that, did I?" He scratched his head awkwardly and directly looked at me, but he was looking into my eyes this time. "Well, it started when I was bribed to lose to someone, even though it was a very hard decision I needed the money for my dad's treatment." Bribery. Losing. Someone's well-being. Those were enough for me to get how much he was hurt, maybe it hurt enough to get, maybe, revenge. It weirdly stung quite hard when he explained, even though I wasn't the one who was there to experience it, but the man before me was in a quite desperate situation at that time, it seemed.

"Oh, I am sorry for asking..." I whimpered, looking down slightly.

"No need. Actually, I am quite relieved to get it out of my chest. Hah, weird, right? I would have told this to another duelist like Harald or Brave, but I told you first instead." He crossed his arms, "You know, Ganyu, you're quite a unique person. You're not a duelist yet you seem to have a strong connection with me and the other two." He said, "When I think about it, dueling is like some kind of magnet."

"Dueling must be very important, huh..." Even still, dueling is a curious case for me. I would never understand, but maybe I would if I could duel.

"Oh, that reminds me, didn't your personal maid give you a deck? We mentioned it during breakfast." He pointed at my chain belt, which was attached to a deck case. Honestly, I never had a good look at the deck Lynae gave me. I opened the case and spread it like a fan, observing the cards carefully.

"Hmmm, this looks complicated." I showed Dragan my deck and he jumped immediately.

"Lynae gave you the Norse Jotnar deck? I thought she would give you something more beginner-friendly..." Dragan then started to mutter something, which I couldn't hear but it was something about 'Rune Eye' for sure. "You don't have the Rune Eye, right, Ganyu?" I shook my head, "Then why would Lynae... Ah, nothing, sorry." He shook his head as I put my deck back into the case. Why did he ask me that? Was something wrong? I could say for sure I never had a Rune Eye, just my Vision. "Come on, let's go back to the mansion." He stood up and offered me his hand, which I took hold of and got up. We went back downstairs (note that it had 7 floors) via a moving platform Dragan called an 'elevator'. It made my head feel very wrong while I was there.

On that night, I thought of why Dragan looked so startled with my deck. Was it something I shouldn't be getting hold of? I should ask Harald later...


Oooooooo, foreshadowing! We love that~ Honestly, the foreshadow was quite an accident in a filler episode, ha.
My logic was that if there was "Norse descendants, Norse beasts and Norse Alfar, AND THEY MISSED OUT THE GIANTS? Aight, I got an idea." I don't feel like saying what Ganyu's ace card will be simply because I kinda got more to it.

Okaaay, about the next chapter, it is a Brave chapter, I would say for sure like the beginning. Though, it is very likely that I will update after the current one shot I am working for. So, get ready for a shameless plug!

*Whispers*
It will be the Great Ace Attorney (aka Dai Gyakuten Saiban) crossover with Genshin Impact! I have been playing the game and wow, what a roller coaster it was. It probably won't be an isekai like this one.

Welp~! Thank you everyone for staying tune for this obscure fanfic~ 3
Honestly, it was unexpected for me to get good feedbacks in the first place.
