Childe returned to Zhongli's house early in the morning, only to see Zhongli standing right there. He was leant against the doorframe to his living room with a zip-up hoodie on and some shorts. His hair was out of its ponytail. Zhongli narrowed his eyes and frowned.

Zhongli : Do you know what time you left? 2:30, Childe! I've been wondering where the fuck you went! God, you made me worried sick.

Zhongli went up and hugged Childe, who felt guilty for making Zhongli worried. He wrapped his arms around Zhongli's waist and buried his head in his neck.

Childe : I'm sorry...

X-D poked his head round the corner, along with Xiao and Ri.

Ri : Dad would never have been that worried if that was us.

X-D : Ri! He would. We're everything he's got after Mom died. Now he's got Childe, he wants to keep him and be happy. Not lose him as well.

Zhongli stroked Childe's hair as he softly cried into Zhongli's neck.
Childe : I'm sorry...

Zhongli had a shift at the Coffee Shop, so Childe decided to join him. He brought a Latte and sat down at the table closest to the counter. The door swung open, and a woman stepped in.

Her hair was a platinum blonde, tied up in a high ponytail. Her clothes were all white and red with a black jacket on top. Her eyes were an exquisite light blue with a wonderful red eyeshadow and lipstick, to match. To tie it all together, she had golden earrings and a rose in her hair. Even though she had a fierce look on her face, she seemed quite calm.

??? : Good day.
She'd look around, and spot Childe,
Childe : ...Erm...
Childe buries his head into his shirt, trying to avoid contact with the woman.
??? : Oh. You, outside. Now.
Childe and the woman go outside the shop, Zhongli watches them. He knew something seemed off in the situation.
Childe : Well... I see you arrived? Signora?
Signora : I'm just here because you can't do ONE simple thing right.
Signora slaps Childe and Zhongli rushes out of the coffee shop.

Signora : I had be sent from my-

Signora stopped as she felt herself being pushed to the ground. The sight of a tall figure grabbing Childe's hand as they rushed back into the shop.

Signora : BASTARD!

Zhongli ran past the counter, right into the back.

Zhongli : Tommy, spare me for a moment!

Tommy looked at Zhongli, confused. Then he saw him go into the back as a woman entered the shop again. The door to the storage room slammed shut.

Tommy : Do you need anything, woman?

Signora : Listen here kid-

Tommy : BITCH I'M NOT A CHILD. GET OUT!

He pointed at the door of the cafe and gave her a middle finger with a pissed look.She scoffed and walked out. She pressed something to the door frame as she left.

Signora : Bastard.

Tommy opened the storage room door, and saw Childe and Zhongli standing there. Zhongli was wrapped around him as Childe cried.

Tommy : That bitch called me a kid.

Zhongli looked at him.

Tommy : She's gone. I don't know for how long, but I suggest you get your asses out.

Zhongli took his apron off and handed it to Tommy.
Zhongli : Thanks.

Tommy : Whatever.

People stared at Childe and Zhongli as they walked out, Childe's eyes all red and puffy.

Tommy : Damn thats gay. I'll just call Tubbo.

Rose Witch POV:

Kujou Sara : So the attack happened at night, correct?

The Blade simply nodded. We were walking to the Raiden Shogun Throne room to inform them about the situation. I was out on a date with Karma so I couldn't see the situation for myself but he told me that he will fully explain what happened when we are at the Shogun.

I simply was baffled how a harbinger took such a huge risk. Going straight into hero territory filled to the brim with hero's or in training heros.

While I was thinking about what could be our next move Sara stopped near the Throne room. She knocked at the door .

Ei : Come in!

Sara unlocked the door .

The Raiden Shogun was sitting on a pillow , with Jiro being right next to her talking about whatever she liked.They were also enjoying themself with some dango , mochi and The shogun's favorite Dango milk.

The Shogun and Jiro always had a close relationship , since Jiro's mother was her sister. After her death The Shogun took custody of her and they got along with flying colors , as Jiro kept the Shogun from being too harsh and The Shogun keeping her company. I always found that cute . She was very protective of her ,which Jiro inherited, and gave her the best life she could provide. She was also very displeased with the whole Fatui situation.

Ei : Is there any reason you came here? Anything other than the Fatui situation.

Kujou Sara : Well there has been an update about it.

Ei : Oh?

Kujou Sara : The Blade. You can explain.

He nodded, and started explaining. Ei told Jiro to exit the room as the situation escalated.

Ei : I see... Well, we can get some information about the Harbinger from that.

Ei : What is your thought, Rose Witch?

Rose Witch : I thoroughly agree. Some strands of his clothing were left, and all we have is his height and hair color.

Rose Witch : If we patrol the city, we can spot the Harbinger.

Ei : I believe so. Blade , could you inform Crow Father , Athena , Orpheus and others with fast travel quirks to investigate Tokyo and all of its cities. I will assign each one of you one city and you will inspect every inch of it. I want the Harbinger found before the announcement starts or at least the known location of him. I do not wish for my heir to be hurt or even killed. So I will give you this simple job to carry out. Don't fail me

Blade and RW : We won't you're excellency .

All of us walked out of the room and me and Blade headed to the car.

When we got there we took off our masks and put them on the backseat.

Techno : So there's another stuff to deal with... My sleeping schedule will be ruined! Again.

Jade : This is your student's safety. And we got signed up for this cause we are capable. So I think it's a big win for me. I'm just worried about Kath.

Techno : Oh god she will have like 3 hours of sleep.

Jade : Yup. Wanna get some Mcdonalds?

Techno : YOOOO. That's why you are my sister. I don't want anything with bacon

Jade : I'll make sure of it, big guy.
