Love or hatred? (Diluc x y/n) OLD VER

18:Back with lumine and Paimon

Zhongli POV
We had ran out of funds. We decided to go look for Childe the next morning. Childe came to us with (y/n). (Y/N) decided to accompany us after Childe left. "I have no more missions for now, I can accompany you," Said (y/n). I nodded and we moved on.

(A/N): I'm skipping the more boring parts in the quest so time skip to the part with Qiqi

Third person POV
(Y/N), Zhongli, Lumine and Paimon were at Bubu pharmacy. "Hey, there's nobody here!" Said Paimon. They went in and saw a little girl behind the counter. "Look at that tailsmen on her head! Is she a...ZOMBIE? Ahhh!" Said Paimon, floating back. "Hi, welcome to Bubu pharmacy. I am QiQi," Said Qiqi.

While the others talked with Qiqi, I was watching a Fatui subordinate who seems to be eavesdropping. (Y/N) guessed that she was probably sent by Childe.

What is he up to now...ugh. I hope I don't have to turn on Lumine and Paimon. This whole Rex Lapis' death thing is just crazy. What could have happened?

Zhongli turned to (y/n). "Do you happen to know whats a 'Cocogoat'?" Said Zhongli. "Coco what? I don't think I know what's that," Said (y/n), trying to hold her laughter. "I have an idea of where we should go..." Said Zhongli.

(Sorry if some parts are inaccurate. I just finished this Archon quest and some parts are just complicated)

We went to the location, there was a ruin. We got on top of it and found something that looked beyond repair. "Um, are we going to fix that?" Said (y/n), looking at the structure. It seems to have been broken for a long time.

Zhongli nodded. "There should be spare parts somewhere, please go look for it and I might just be able to fix it. This device can allow us to see things clearly from here," Said Zhongli.

(Y/N) POV
Lumine and Paimon went to look around the ruins while I just looked around for any signs of a 'cocogoat'. I tried not to giggle while thinking about 'cocogoat'. I giggled softly. It was such a silly name for something.

I failed to find any 'cocogoat' when Lumine and Paimon returned. Zhongli was fixing the device while telling us about it. "This was made by the adeptus a long time ago," Said Zhongli, finally done. "And here we go! It's fixed!" Said Zhongli.

Out of nowhere, a group of treasure hoarders appeared. "Oi! Who are you? Why did you fix that monster of a machine? That thing nearly skewered one of my men and we risked our lives to destroy it!" Said the leader of the gang.

"What? Is this a challenge to a fight?" I Said, summoning my sword. "Destroying something that is ancient just so you can take whatever is here and sell it for personal loan? Those are foul deeds. You lot deserves to be punished!" Said Zhongli, partially scolding the treasure hoarders.

The leader called for more men and we engaged in combat, well, except for Zhongli. I charged at the biggest treasure hoarder, I activated my vision and swang my sword at him. The heat coming off from the blade was just enough to burn the skin but not enough to cause a 3rd degree burn yet. I did a 'x' slash which sent the man running away bleeding from wounds which had burnt sides and blood coming out of it.

We defeated the rest of the men and at last we were alone. Zhongli searched for a Cocogoat for half an hour but he did not find anything. "I'm afraid we have to return with nothing, let's go!" Said Zhongli. We returned to Bubu pharmacy. "Sorry but we were unable to find this 'cocogoat' you told us about. We did not fulfill our part of the contract.

"Oh...I am disappointed, sorry I have a bad memory so I cannot remember the name of the milk. I know that it is tastier than regular goat milk. I remember that I wrote it down on a note. Let me go find the note. Ah, here it is. It is called 'Coconut milk'," Said Qiqi.
