Chapter 14 - A book's secret

After checking in with Barbara, you were advised to stay in Mondstadt for a day or two just to be cautious. So to pass the time, you decided to get a book from the library, specifically, the Teyvat Travel Guide, while Lumine and Paimon were away for a commission.

Entering the library, you meet with a familiar scent of pine pages. Multiple books of all shapes, sizes, and colours stocked the room. A whiff of unexpected lavender perfume crossed your nose, creating a dance of aromas.

Oh, Lisa's here, you thought, recognising her scent. Instead of searching through the hundreds of books in the library, you decided to consult Lisa for information. Luck was on your side today, as you were able to find her easily by her desk, looking through the selection of books in front of her.

You walked towards her, a creak from the floorboards alerted her of someone's presence.

"*yawn* If you're borrowing a book, please register it in the log. The restricted section is currently not lending any books...Oh? it's you, little cutie." Lisa said, turning around to face you.

"Good morning cutie. It's so good to see you! More refreshing than a strong cup of tea in the morning."

"Good morning Lisa," you started, "are you by any chance looking for a book?"

"Not really, I'm just making sure the books are in the correct order, and checking if everyone has returned their overdue books," she sighed. "It's been so long and yet nobody has ever returned their books. I might just have to find them for it."

"Oh really, mind if I join you?" you asked, "Lumine had gone out for a commission earlier with Paimon, so I'm really bored at the moment. That, and I'm in need of a book."

Lisa chuckled at your words, gesturing you to follow her. You obliged to her request, walking towards the library's entrance. The two of you walked out of the Knights of Favonius Headquarters, heading towards to heart of the City of Freedom.

"Where are we headed to, Lisa?" you asked as the two of you continued walking. 

"We're headed to a souvenir shop called 'With Wind Comes Glory'. It's a shop that sells many items for travelers such as yourself." Lisa explained.

Upon finishing her explanation, Lisa walked towards the person standing in front of the shop, with you following in tow.

"Good morning Marjorie," she greeted "any exciting new items in stock?"

You were bewildered by Lisa's actions. Of every library you had visited, all the librarians were always grumpy ladies who take their jobs way too seriously. You had even witnessed one threatening to call the cops on someone for not keeping quiet.

Safe to say after the experience, you were extra cautios whenever you visited a library.

"Why so surprised cutie?" Lisa chuckled at your reaction. "Today is such a special day, I'd like to have a souvenir to remember it by." 

To say you were confused was an understatment, you were clueless as fu-

You analysed your surroundings. The plaza wasn't decorated in any way so it most definately wasn't a festival. You weren't sure if it was her birthday so that could be a possibility. Or maybe this was the 1,000th overdue book and Lisa wanted to remember it. 

The librarian beside you noticed your confusion, chuckling while you wracked your brain.

Finally, you were able to calm yourself down for a little bit, coming up with the most reasonable answer, 

"Isn't today just an ordinary day?" you asked the librarian.

Lisa hummed at your response, before answering. "Maybe it is, maybe it isnt. What day today is shall be your choice."
