After hours of eating, most likely teaching Childe to use chopsticks in Wanmin Restaurant, Childe decided to bring Y/n to the Golden House. He already asked her for permission to spar with him, and she gladly did.

After a couple of rounds of sparring, a figure of a short man appeared at the door of the Golden House. Y/n and Childe both stopped their sparring session after noticing the boy's figure slowly walking toward them.

"Scaramouche?! What are you doing here in Liyue? Shouldn't you be in Inazuma?" Childe was shocked to see a small purple-haired boy wearing a huge hat.

Huh, another Harbinger? Interesting. Y/n thought.

"What? Am I not allowed to be in here? I'm just looking around Liyue, you scum bag." The boy said with a rude tone, giving Childe a scary glare. But Childe find it amusing to see the boy getting mad.

The boy noticed Y/n's presence and turned to her, crossing his arms on his chest. "And who you might be? I'd never thought that Childe would be with someone who looks pathetic."

Y/n gulped and forced herself not to smile, while Childe was glaring at Scaramouche for saying bad about her.

Ahh. I see what I'm dealing with now. He must be the 6th Fatui Harbinger, Balladeer. She thought.

"I beg your pardon, but I don't look that pathetic as you are. Who even are you to talk so low about me? You're looking down at me?" She said and gave him a mocking smile. Scaramouche's blood began to boil and his fists gripped tight.

From what Y/n noticed, Childe's reaction was hilarious. He stared at her shocked because he knew no one would dare speak to the 6th harbinger that way.

Scaramouche started walking towards Y/n with a dark aura on his face. She stood still on her spot with a smirk on her face, watching every step he do. Childe cleared his throat and got in between them, covering Y/n.

"Scaramouche, that's enough. Don't you have something to do here other than fight with random people?" Childe asked and gently pushed Y/n backward, making distance for both Y/n and the other harbinger.

"Actually, the Tsaritsa brought me here to come to pick you up. Leave this woman in here, Tsaritsa needs you more than anything," Scaramouche told Childe and deadly stared at Y/n.

"Oh? Does the Tsaritsa need me? Oh yeah! Can I bring Saki with me?" Childe brightly asked and placed his arm on her shoulder. Scaramouche rolled his eyes and turned around.

"It's up to your choice. But if I was you, why would I bring someone who is weak as the other people in this world?" Scaramouche said then left the golden house. Childe sighed and turned to Y/n, who was searching for something in her backpack.

"I'm sorry about Scaramouche. He acts and speaks like that. That guy never knows how to be nice at once." Childe apologized and sighed, looking down at Y/n.

"It's alright. I've met worse than him, to be honest," Y/n stood and gave him a small smile. Childe smiled back and patted her head softly before taking her backpack from the floor.

"Wait! I'll be the one carrying my backpack!" She argued, trying to take her backpack from Childe.

"It's fine, Saki. I can carry this without any struggle! You shouldn't be carrying this heavy of a bag all the time. Let me carry this for you as a gentleman." Childe reassured and fixed the bag a little on his back.
