The woman with silvery and shiny hair entered the Wangshen funeral parlor as if she was the owner of the place. She looked around for a bit, then she approached the reception. She put her hand firmly on the table.
"I want to meet with Zhongli. Where is he?" the woman asked. The woman working at the front desk frowned. "Ma'am, you can't come in here with that attitude. Have some respect for dead people." said the woman.
The mysterious woman laughed. "You don't know me, do you?" she asked. "No, ma'am. Do I need to know?" The woman asked. The mysterious woman put her leg on the table with a wide smile.
"I am La Signora, 8th of Fatui Harbingers!" said La Signora. The receptionist began to tremble. "Oh... I'm... so sorry." The woman said fearfully. La Signora leaned forward and became serious. "Now, where is Zhongli?" she asked.

"Mhm, I never thought an archon would work at such place. Is this what you like to do, Morax? God of wars working at a funeral parlor... ironic." La Signora said as she entered the office. Zhongli raised his head and frowned. "What do you want?" she asked.
La Signora raised her eyebrows and folded her arms. "So straight forward. I liked it." said La Signora. Then she smiled. "I am not going to take your time too much, I am just here to make a contract with you." said La Signora.
"I am listening." Said Zhongli, leaning forward.

"Oh, you are on time. I thought you would miss the show." La Signora said to approaching Childe. Childe frowned. He looked at La Signora, then at Zhongli. "What are you two doing here?" he asked.
"Ah, I am so sorry for this but I have already got the gnosis. In exchange of a person, of course. I might admit, so-called Mr Zhongli is full of suprises." La Signora said, showing the Gnosis in her hand. Childe's eyes widened, turning to Zhongli. "Mr Zhongli... you are Morax!?" Childe said. Then he returned to La Signora. "Who did you exchange? For whom did Zhongli gave up his Gnosis?" Childe asked.
Zhongli opened his mouth to answer, but Paimon and Aether entered. "Oh, and the show gets even better." La Signora said with a grin. "What's going on here?" Paimon asked, frowning.
Childe glared angrily at Aether and Paimon. "They tricked me." Childe said. "Your brain does work, Tartaglia! Anyways~ if you don't mind, I'd like to leave with my toy." said La Signora. Aether drew his sword. "Stay there!" he said.
La Signora laughed. "It would be foolish of you to draw a sword at me, and you know it." La Signora said, walking to the door. Angrily, Aether sheathed his sword as La Signora passed by. Then La Signora stopped, turned her head slightly.
"Mhm, by the way, the person I exchanged for his Gnosis was you. I am pretty sure we can replace you easily." said La Signora. Then she smiled and left. Childe froze. His nerves were gone. "Ohhh, that's a tough one!" Paimon said, looking pityingly at Childe.
"Let's go." Aether said, looking sideways at Childe and Zhongli. Not saying anything, Zhongli finally spoke. "Come on, Ajax. Let's go to our new home." Zhongli said, grabbing Childe's arm.
Childe took one last look at Aether and Paimon with frightened eyes. "Help." he whispered. Aether and Paimon had already left though.
