Chapter 14: Childe is a Child

Ajax's POV

Okay, Okay, I am given at least 3 days to think about my whole life choices. I could just ditch the whole entire thing but this is (Y/N) we're talking about. I have already climbed my way to gain her trust, even befriending her and ruining it would be the last thing I would ever do.

Look, I honestly don't care about the agency now. This is my own problem, and them knowing this would be also a problem to me. You see, they've been suspecting me of ditching out my work, especially in the middle of them ight because that's where I hang out with (Y/N). But, I honestly don't care. I don't care at all.

The thing about benefiting the agency about information about (Y/N) left my brain, I just don't care about that anymore, what I care more is the friendship I have with (Y/N), I don't want to ruin it. It would be too hard for me if she ever left me. I've come too attach to her to the point where I fall for her even more.

I wasn't lying about the love at first sight thing, because that's what I really felt when I first met her. She gave back the spark that I had lost way back then, and I'm so glad that she, out of all people here in Teyvat, gave that feeling back to me.

If- If it wasn't for my position right now, I would've certainly confessed my feelings to her. If it wasn't for any of this, I wouldn't have to worry about losing her trust in me.

But things wanted to play out that way they wanted to play out. For me, this isn't a child's play anymore, I need to confront her brother, and if he's anyone dangerous to me then...

Then what would happen?

Would (Y/N) be stopped being friends with me let alone leave me? No, I don't want that. She became too attach to me, and if she left and never meet me again, then I would just be looking for her and craving for her presence even more. I don't want to come to that point because it'll make me look so weak and pathetic.

But what's for me to do in it if she ever put her family first? I take her as that kind of woman. She would always brag about how strong both of her big brothers are, but, as she tells me those story, she's very cautious about revealing their names and who they really are.

But I never ever did ask her about who they are for they do not curious me enough to ask her about their information.

I sigh as I decided to be productive today. I am currently in between the borders of Liyue and Inazuma. Sitting at this Victorian mansion that a crazy scientist owned, I wonder as to why she keeps me waiting.

After all, I do need her help to make these three days long more than it should be.

The hallway is very dimmed and the only light source that you have in this hallway are from the windows which are covered by a thick black curtains which really puts the vibe that this place looks very much haunted.

I fastened up my pace in walking as I arrived the door that leads down to her creepy basement. That room was full of experiments and creepy equipments and of course, torture equipments. She was a mad scientist, but also a sociopath. She quite fit in whenever she walks out of society and have some appointments with the agency, but once you see her working, oh my, it would seemed to look like that one of highest devil in hell itself crawled out of here.

As I opened the door, the sound of electricity and running water can be heard, and no one was speaking as if the place has been quite dead for a while. My nose scrunch in disgust as I see some captured hilichurl that's tied up in a electric chair, or whatever that is.

Poor creature...

My shiver ran down my spine as I felt breathing behind my neck. I quickly looked back and turn around to see...no one.
