A Merchant In The Sea Of Trouble (Scaramouchex!FemReader)

Trip to Inazuma

Back when you were still in the trials Ichika had told you many stories on how Inazuma was when she was there, she had a million of them and also many recipes from that nation, sometimes you even told her to open a small restaurant somewhere but she was more interested in the Fatui than that. She always preferred the Fatui over any other job that she could think of.

"Hey Y/N. You in there?"

'What now' you let a groan and opened the door of your apartment

"Y/N the boat is leaving in 3 hours!!!"

"WHAT?!"

You were told the boat left in afew days not two days after. You hurried packing everything you thought was necessary without even attending the person at your door wich was Ichika, all the poor girl could see was you running from your room to the bathroom, then to your room again, then to a closet in the hallway grabbing random stuff, then to your room again then, bathroom and so on. Once you think you had atleast all the basic necessities only 20 minutes remained and you ran out of your apartment and got a last glance of who was at your door and all Ichika could do was laugh "ICHIKA LOOK AFTER MY STUFF FOR ME WHILE YOU CAN!" You yelled from the other end of the small hallway "I WILL Y/N. I PROMISE NOTHING IS BURNING DOWN IN MY WATCH!" She yelled back "WAIT WHAT?!" "NOTHING <3" you were a bit worried now because of what she said but you didn't mind much and had to focus on getting on the boat on time.

After all that running you finally made it to the main harbor with 5 minutes to spare. You were finally on the boat and the same cicin mage that delivered your letter two days back told you to follow her and she escorted you to his office with a small hurry due to all the mess going on. When you got to the door you knocked as always and got in.

"Y/N. Please take a seat and be free to place your baggage in the corner I'll make sure to ask someone to accommodate it somewhere but door now I need to talk to you about something serious"

His voice sounded a bit more serious when saying the last part

'Am I in trouble?' 'Have I done something wrong?'

"Just in case your thinking. No, you haven't done anything wrong"

You felt a bit more relieved and placed your things somewhere then took a seat

"It's about Inazuma and the Traveler"

"What about them?"

"Ive heard from some diplomats that the Traveler has been wondering in Inazuma for a bit fixing problems everywhere. He gives us a better chance of achieving what the Tsaritsa has asked to obtain from there. This is where I'm going to require a bit of your assistance"

"What do I need to do sir?"

"You've been acquainted with the traveler right? What do you know about him?"

"Yes I have but I can't say we're very close, all I know is that he's not from this world and that he has a goal of asking every God for information about his sister since apparently she was taken by some 'Unknown God' that's all I've got from talking to him a few times after I met him in Liyue before"

"Interesting."

"What do you need me to do exactly? If I may ask again"

"Since you've been acquainted with him you'll be undercover following him and informing me of everything he does through letters and with the information we can slowly start making an official plan to lure him to a trap ill be working on in Yashiori Island , and when I tell you, bring him to a specific area that I'll mark on your map eventually. I already have the place for this thanks to some of our Fatui that we've left there exploring the place beforehand so all you need to do is follow orders

"Why is all of this necessary in the first place?"

"Dont ask questions you can't have an answer to. You may leave now, we're getting near the storm."

"..Of course"

With that you left his office

"STORM INCOMING ALL HANDS ON DECK"

A huge storm started hitting the boat and everything started going insane. Luckily the Fatui had a professional captain who had  entered and exited Inauzma multiple times and knows the waves pretty well so you're lucky on that side but on the side of the thunder everywhere you just had to be lucky enough to not get hit. You kept raising and maneuvering the sails here and there going up and down on the deck doing this and that almost getting struck by lighting about five times it all started making you dizzy and making you more sea sick than ever.

After the storm had passed and everything started calming down you were soaking but atleast finally in Inazuma. The place looked beautiful with the landscape and everything but what took most of your attention was the giant skeleton remains of a snake God that Ichika once told you in one of her stories, it was amazing seeing it in person after all the times she had mentioned it 'So this is Yashiori Island, amazing.' You went back to Scaramouches office to get your stuff but it wasn't where you left it

"Mr. Balladeer Scaramouche sir where are my things that I left here"

"Like I said, I told someone to move them. They're in the door behind me you have permission to enter."

You opened the door and entered a huge bedroom with what looked like the softest bed you've ever seen in your life but that's not what you had gone there for and started searching for your stuff.

"There you are. Now let's get out if here."

You exited the room and office with your stuff 

Soon the boat hit land and as everyone had to got out and Scaramouche immediately started assigning everyone to go to a specific place, either in a different island or near. In your case you were going where Scaramouche was going along with a few others and they were all skirmishers and cicin mages like you. After walking for a few minutes you had reached a small Inauzma-like domain with two mirror maidens at frontbas if they were guarding it and you all stopped there at the entrance

"All of you here are in charge of guarding this domain so get to your assigned positions we had discussed and do not let anyone thats not part of this group to enter. Understood?"

"Yes sir!" Everyone said and started moving

"Y/N, keep following me and we'll start your part of the plan once we get inside"

You quickly started moving behind him to wherever he was taking you
