One day after the IMPs healed Dvalin.
In the middle of Mondstadt, life resumed normal after the ordeal of Stormterror. Suddenly, however…..
One of Mondstadt clothes shop front door exploded, and coming out were the IMPs, in new clothes.
Loona now wore a purple and white dress with open slits at the sides and gold embroidery, along with black gloves with pale purple trim, a large witch's hat, black lace stockings, and black high heels. She also wore a gold necklace with her Vision clasped to the collar of her dress.
Millie wore a white frock that was open at the shoulders and a large white and blue bow in the front along with white tights, white ankle boots, and a blue and white cap.
« Damn girl! You're killing it with that outfit! Guess Mondstadt has a new idol! » Loona complimented the Imp.
« You too! Hope Lisa isn't jealous she has to share her library with someone else! Man, going shopping was the best suggestion we got so far! » Millia replied.
« Speak for yourself…. » an annoyed Blitzo replied. He and Moxxie were wearing the typical Mondstadt citizen clothes. Nothing fancy.
« Ouch….tough day for shopping? » Loona teased the two.
« You tell me….god, I feel like we're going on a Holy Roman Empire roleplaying convention! » Moxxie complained.
« Well, let's try to cope and seethe with our new shitty clothes, 'cause we have a job to do! » Blitzo proclaimed.
« Already? » Moxxie raised an eyebrow.
« You bet! Apparently Chili Churros are that fucking common around these parts! » Blitzo replied.
« Well good luck dealing with those fuckheads. » Loona replied.
« Wait, you're not coming? » Millie asked.
« I have better things to do, like learning kickass spells from Lisa! »
« Got it sweetie! Oh! And while you're at it, can you arrange a date with her for me? » Blitzo asked.
« Sit on a dick, old man! »
Xxxxxxx
Loona entered the library searching for Lisa and, sure enough, there she was, in front of a bookshelf.
Hearing Loona entering, Lisa yawned before turning towards her. « If you're borrowing a book, please register it in the log. The restricted section is currently not lending any books...» she then realized who she was talking to. « Oh? It's you, little cutie. I see I have an admirer and a doppelganger… »
« 'Sup. » Loona casually greeted the woman.
« So did you have something you needed? » Lisa asked. « ...Or did you just come to see me? »
« It's kinda both, really. Look what this hellhound just got! » Loona replied, showing her vision to the librarian.
Lisa looked in awe. « Incredible….you got a Vision too? And an electro one at that! »
« Yup. Mox and Millie got one as well. So anyway, now that I have a vision, do you think you could teach me a few tricks of yours? »
Lisa sighed. « I'm afraid that at the moment I'm rather busy. BUT, you could aid me to free me of some work loads…. »
« Okay, so who do I have to kill? » Loona growled.
Lisa laughed nervously. « Oh my! N-no need to go to those extremes! »
« You see, many people here have an awful habit of burrowing books…» Lisa continued, « and NOT returning them in time… »
As she said that, electricity seemed to resonate in the library. It was enough to cause Loona's hair to stand up.
« Yeah…must be a pain in the ass…. » Loona replied nervous.
« So….. would you be a dearie and help me out? Once the books have been returned, I can most surely teach you a few tricks. » Lisa proposed.
« Deal. » Loona replied.
« Thank you, dearie. Oh, and before we go, here, take this. » Lisa handed Loona a book.
« Oh great…I've gotta read this shit…» Loona groaned annoyed.
« Oh no, not at all. that right there is a Catalyst, an item that will enable you to use your Vision. I'll teach you how to use it later. For now, back to book recovery! Let's hope they're cooperative. »
« Oh, they will be. » Loona grinned.
Xxxxxxx
The two girls walked in the streets of Mondstadt with several books under the arms.
« I have to say, your methods may be a bit too brutish for my standards, they do work. Perhaps these people will bother to return the books in time next time. » Lisa smirked.
« Meh, as long as it works. So, any more books we need to recover? » Loona asked.
« Just one. Miss Donna at Floral Whisper. Let's hope that she collaborates like the others. » Lisa smirked.
« My jaws are at your service, ma'am! »
After a while, the two reached the shop, and walked towards Donna. She had blue eyes and brown hair in low twin tails. On her neck was a teal collar with a gold gemstone. She wore a white top with short sleeves rolled up to reveal teal and gold cuffs, as well as a brown corset with two buckles around her waist. On each wrist was a teal bracelet.
On her lower half was a teal dress with muted gold accents. She wore grey leggings and teal shoes.
« Why hello Donna. Fancy day today, isn't it? » Lisa spoke first.
« Oh, absolutely, miss- » Donna replied, before Loona got to her face.
« All right, honey. Cut the crap. You know why we're here. »
« …T-to buy flowers? »
« Once again, we see a total lack of respect for literature...» Lisa sighed. « The Pale Princess and the Six Pygmies. Ring a bell? »
Donna turned pale after hearing that. « Oh! Ahh, yes, well, what happened was... was... »
« "Was" what? » Loona was beginning to lose her patience.
« I….I lost the book…»
Both Lisa and Loona looked at her in disbelief. « You fucking WHAT!? »
« A while back, I realized it was almost due and I was getting ready to bring it back to the library. But I couldn't find it anywhere. I looked for days – but nothing. » Donna explained. « It's like somebody stole it... It should have been there, on my bedside table. Right where I left it. »
« Yeah, nice try, honey. I ain't buying that! » Loona bare her fangs to intimidate the girl, before Lisa intervened.
« Calm down Loona! I can tell she's telling the truth, and if her book was stolen, this means she did nothing wrong! »
« All right, but how the hell are we gonna find that damned book now!? »
« Oh, don't worry about that. As long as I remain librarian, not a single book will go missing for good. » Lisa explained. « I put a unique elemental marker on each book. Our thief will have left a nice set of clues for us to follow. »
« On it! » Loona raised a thumb up, as the two girls begun the search.
Xxxxxxx
After a while, the two reached the entrance of a ruin.
« So did a fucking hobo steal your god damned book? » Loona asked.
« Something tells me no citizen of Mondstadt took the book. » Lisa replied in a serious tone.
« …Shit, the Abyss Order? » Loona asked concerned.
« Indeed. They do seem to have a way of slipping in and out of places like ghosts, after all. » Lisa explained. « Also... There is an elemental seal at the entrance. It looks like the result of an Abyss Mage's magic. »
« Oh god fucking damn it, not another fetch quest! » Loona complained.
« Not to worry. I should be able to break the seal easily, but now that I think about it…why don't you give it a go? »
« Me? »
« You may call this your first lesson in Electro spell. Channel your inner energy and release it on that seal. You'll never know unless you try! »
« Well….here goes nothing. » Loona replied, as she channelled her inner energy as Lisa told her.
Then, in an instant, her Catalyst released her energy as a mighty lightning spell, shattering the seal.
Loona just stood there in pure disbelief. « Holy shit did I fucking do that!? »
« You did indeed. I must say, you have quite the talent! »
« I don't even care we have to perform a genocide on some Chili Churros, this is the best day of my life! »
« I'm glad, but I'm afraid that we cannot stand here in celebration. There's a book to be recovered, after all! »
« All right, let's zap their shit! » Loona grinned, as the two girls entered the ruins.
Xxxxxxx
The Abyss Mage was just reading the book, before an electrical explosion engulfed the area, Lisa and Loona standing there angrily.
« What!? How did you find this place!? It's... so well hidden! » the mage exclaimed.
« Next time try not to leave some electric shit stains to follow, smartass. » Loona casually replied.
« I have no interest in finding out where you little rascals hide yourselves away. But I do want my book back. » Lisa added.
« ...You— You just want... the book? » the Abyss Mage asked with a deadpan expression. « I was unaware that anyone in Mondstadt was concerned with unearthing the secret hidden inside this book...»
« Just hand over the fucking book before I rip off your ears and shove them up your ass! » Loona growled at the mage.
« Hmph. Since you insist on concealing your identity...» the mage replied, « I have all the less reason to give you that book. »
In response, Loona simply pulled out a small music player, which played Bella Notte by Lady and the Tramp, as the two women grinned insanely and charged their lightning attacks.
« Oh curd….. »
Xxxxxxx
Meanwhile, outside of the ruins….
« Oh, where the fuck is that Chinese whore-» Blitzo exclaimed at the top of his lungs, before lightning and screams of pain came out of the nearby mountain, followed by rocks, Hilichurls, Slimes, foxes, boars, dragons, ogres (my lord), and even a god damned Stuka were thrown out violently out of the mountain, nearly hitting the IMPs, who simply walked away, not interested in getting involved.
Xxxxxxx
One hour later…
The Abyss Mage legs had been shattered, his arms were torn off, his anus had been penetrated by five obelisks, and his back broken to such a state that he had been tied at a knot on a statue.
« Lady, if you're ever going to turn into my ma….you're Loona approved! » Loona smirked.
« Naughty boys who don't do what they're told need a little punishment to keep them in line. » Lisa replied.
« Oh come on, don't tell me you didn't enjoy zapping his testicle with a 3503450843503847534087542308752340572 quatrillion volt! » Loona teased the woman.
« Who said I didn't? » Lisa smirked evily.
« Life is pain! » the Abyss Mage whispered as he was in constant suffering.
« So how was your first lesson? » Lisa asked.
« That was amazing! We should hang out more often! » Loona replied excited.
« Naturally! Perhaps I can teach a few tricks to your colleagues? Then again, I'm not so good with non-Electro spells theory, and I cannot use non-Electro spells…. »
« Girl, don't smash yourself down like that! You can teach them something! » Loona replied.
« Anyway, it's getting late, and I should return these books to the library. However, you may keep this one. » Lisa said, as she handed the book the Abyss Mage took.
« Uh…..thanks, but I'm not much of a reader…that and I don't want to be zapped to the end of time if I fail to return the book… » Loona declined the offer.
« A little reading did no harm to anybody. And don't worry, There's no time limit for you. I will register you as "custodian" rather than "borrower."» Lisa replied.
« Huh. Free stuff. Can't say no to that. » Loona reasoned.
« Anyway, I hope we can see each other soon for another lesson! » Lisa waved the hellhound goodbye.
« Have a safe return! And if you see my boss, happy shagging! » Loona waved back at her. « No wonder dad fucks her…. »
