Pdv Y/n :

<<Oh, I only... Only thought about where we are based on our surroundings and what I had learned from the maps and books that were in the Ice Palace. I explained with a yawn at the end of my sentence.

-... Did you memorise all the regions neighbouring Snezhnaya ? he asked me, a hint of astonishment in his voice.

-No, as I could not leave the Palace without permission, I kept myself busy by learning the topography of Teyvat and the location of towns, villages and other places. I had nothing else to do with my days, so I might as well keep myself busy... I sighed, a little sad as I thought about all those days spent without seeing the outside of the Palace.

-Have you memorized everything? Even the most insignificant things like the location of a monster camp? he said, obviously very surprised by what I had just said.

Is that so strange?

-Hm, yes, I know pretty much all the locations of monster camps. There aren't any within a mile of here, if that's what you mean.

The blood had stopped flowing, and only a little plasma was still oozing out. The red colour of my raw flesh had faded slightly, a sign that a thin scab would soon appear, allowing me to walk on my own at last, though I didn't mind being carried by the former enforcer.

Pdv Scaramouche:

A long silence followed his explanation, a long silence that allowed me to reflect a little on what I had just learned.

It will be very useful for us, but...
She must have been so bored, alone in the cold and dreary library, with no other source of distraction. Even if Arlecchino brought her little trinkets from time to time from the villages where she had to go on business, she must have found the time long.

I checked that my hand was not pressing on her wound, and saw that it was soon closed. I was relieved to see that it was not too deep, and that a visit to a doctor would not be necessary.

Y/n's head was turned, scrutinizing the horizon and the little specks of light that were gradually appearing. The stars were lighting up one by one, like candles held up to the flame of a match, and the moon was slowly rising in the sky.

A few minutes later we arrived at the village Y/n had mentioned. Before we passed through the gates and entered the hamlet of dwellings and small shops, which were surely supported by passing adventurers, I laid Y/n on the ground, so as not to draw attention to us.

Our journey to Sumeru will not be long, but it is better not to exhaust ourselves at the beginning. If she refuses to welcome us, we must be able to go elsewhere. A stop in this small village will allow us to rest properly and Y/n will be able to heal herself.

-Scara', the hostel is just at the end of this street. It looks like it's still open, judging by the lights emanating from the lanterns. Y/n said, tugging at my sleeve.

-Hm, I'm with you.

She didn't add anything and started to walk slowly, probably to avoid hurting herself, towards the said inn. And indeed, as Y/n had observed, it was still open and the lanterns were all lit and hanging on the front of the sign, attracting small insects with their soft light.

An old lady greeted us and Y/n asked her for a room and, if possible, some ointment to apply to her wound. The elderly woman smiled and handed her a small green clay pot, as if she had anticipated our arrival, and gave us the keys to the only vacant room, 444.

Why such a number when this establishment is so small and must only have ten rooms?

(Author's note: Only those who know the manga Cristal Girls can understand)

We walked to our assigned room, and Y/n opened the door. The first room had a coffee table and the necessities to cook a little, but not much because the meals were included in the very low price of the room.

Luckily, there were three other doors. One led to the bathroom, and the other two to two separate rooms. Y/n chose the first room, even though both were identical, and went to take a shower and apply the ointment.

She had thought of taking money in her escape to pay for several nights in an inn... Or was it totally premeditated? She had prepared her escape, and intended not to sleep under the stars?

<<Scaramouche? said Y/n, turning off the water in the shower.

-What's wrong? I replied, a little embarrassed to talk to her in this kind of situation.

-After my shower, I'm going to a tailor I saw in passing to get my clothes fixed, I might be back quite late if he has to take my measurements to redo a whole room, so don't wait for me for dinner! she explained, turning the water back on at the end of her sentence.

-Hm, ok.>>

Wait wait, what?!

The tailor... Is gonna have to take her measurements... So he's gonna get her measurements? Sure, to fix her clothes, but still. I'm against it, totally against it.

I mean, I doubt I'll have any say in the matter...

Y/n suddenly opened the door to the bathroom, having put on a simple white dress, holding her usual clothes in her arms.

Quick, find an excuse for her not to go!

But by the time I finally had an idea of something to say to dissuade her from going to that dressmaker's, she had already put on her shoes and was on the doorstep.

<<Y/n, wait! I said, leaping to my feet.

She turned to me and cocked her head to the side, not understanding why I was asking her to wait.

-The tailor... He...>>

Chapter 5 - End.
