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

A Rare Traveler in Inazuma

Scaramouche had given you simple orders: Search for the traveler in Narukami Island or the islands near it and monitor his movements and by all means don't go raising suspicion, nothing too difficult for you apart from the fact you've never been to Inazuma in your life and could get lost somewhere and run into thr traveler on accident and end up raising suspicion, if it wasn't for your map you wouldn't even know wich island is wich apart from Yashiori Island since it's the only one you've been to so and unlocked far. You had to pass through Kannazuka to get to Narukami Island and to get to Kannazuka the best way you thought was easiest since you didn't have a Waverider yet was to go through Nazuchi Beach and knowing the situation that Inazuma was going through (thanks to Scaramouche for telling you with more details) with the Shoguns army and the resistance you hoped that there no battles started while you went through but knowing your luck it probably will be in the middle of a battle.

On your way to Nazuchi Beach you were amazed by the gorge that you were walking next to, the area looked to be completely imbued with electro and it split the small island in half, it seemed to have been the result of a battle with the giant snake God that's cut in half with the island. Something annoying you this Island had was the endless thunderstorm it had, you almost got hit by lighting more than enough times to make you wonder if you were going to get out of the island in one piece. Even with the current situation everything reminded you of one of Ichikas's stories.

Once you got near Nazuchi Beach you took your delusion out of your bag just in case you run into some unwanted people and continued entering the place. Because you were undercover you couldn't pack your cicn mage uniform but could still take along items of importance. You hid your delusion under your shirt just in case even though it could still bee seen a bit but as long as you are careful everything would be ok.

Almost halfway through the beach nearing the huge boat you saw a bunch of people, they seemed to be from both the Resistance and the Shoguns army but something looked odd so you tried getting a bit closer to one of the bushes near the boat and noticed that the traveler you were searching for was there. Seeing the traveler saved you the long trip to Narukami Island, all you had to do now was keep enough distance from what was going on and not make much noise nor move enough to be seen. From there you saw the traveler fight a few of the Shogunate and everything seemed fine so far. All of a sudden an all out battle started and you went behind the giant boat hoping you wouldn't get seen. The only thing you could hear was the clanging of swords and the screams of some people... After a while you started seeing bubbles appear from out of nowhere, you thought the boat was cursed or something and decided to have a small innocent peak, a lady that you hadn't seen at first appeared out of nowhere and lead a batch of resistance soldiers to battle. Even Captain Beidou was with them, your best guess was that she brought the traveler to Inauzma. Eventually you saw what looked like the general called for a retreat and things got just a bit more peaceful.

"You know, there is no need to hide behind that bush in the back. We know you're there" you heard the strange lady call out to you but you decided not to move perhaps she was just saying it just in case someone really was there. You heard footsteps and soon the traveler cut the bush you were in revealing yourself. "Y/N? What are you doing in Inazuma?"  Paimon spoke from behind you "I can explain" you said while wiping the pieces of bush you had all over "Please do" Paimon said. You had to admit you didn't have an excuse practiced yet if it came to the point the traveler found you so you had to improvise.
