I will save you (Kunikuzushi x fem!reader)

On the hunt

Y/n pov:

My hands searched the boxes placed on the beach. Rummaging through the contents, moving the items away from each other, I found nothing of what I was searching for.

I've been training with Aether non stop for about a week. I've learned how to handle elemental energy, as well as how to wield a catalyst.
Catalyst was my choice of weapon, for at least now. It was easiest for me, because I was able to simply sit back and let my vision do the whole job. Which is what I needed right now.

"Get away from those!" A man I had tied up yelled at me. I could feel his glare at the back of my head. His three other fellas were tied up right next to him, and I heard them struggling against their chains.

"Will you shut up? I'm trying to think." I said, annoyed. Why were they being so loud? It's not as if they're being tortured.
I crossed my arms and started thinking again.

This is what I've been reflecting over;
I have the gnosis. It's what Scaramouche wants, a heart. The gnosis rolls that space, so I'm sure he is willing to bargain for it. My condition will be that he leaves Inazuma, and stops his factory, I'm sure he wouldn't think twice before agreeing. After all, it's the gnosis he wants so desperately.

Around this time, delusions should have been delivered to at least a few soldiers. So before they are delivered to more, I will stop that.

I intend to meet Scaramouche as soon as I get info about where the factory is. No breaks, I will go straight to the factory on my own.

Since I haven't been able to remember properly exactly where the factory is, I decided to try to interrupt their trade-
"Hey!! Let us go immediately!!" The man yelled again, interrupting my thoughts.

I sighed and turned around to them, annoyed once again.
Four fatui agents, tied up, kneeling down. I'll admit, it makes me feel powerful.
I shook it away and glared at them.

"Where are you delivering the delusions?" I leaned down and asked patiently.

"We're not saying a word to you!! Are you an investigator?! They all wanted delusions, nothing was against their will!!" His companion said.

They tugged on the ice chains they were tied up in. One of them tried to melt it with his fire delusion, however somehow, my ice didn't melt to his fire. I almost felt bad for him. Almost.

I turned away from them and checked the outside of the box, searching for any clues. Nothing there. Unfortunately these boxes were simply food boxes.

-

I stepped onto the camp again, and to my surprise, I found Miss Sangonomiya here.
She was talking to Gorou and Aether.
She turned her head to me and her eyes immediately widened in relief.

"There you are! I've been looking for you."
She spoke as I walked towards her.

"Let's go somewhere more private." She said simply and the four of us walked away towards the shore.

We came to a halt when she spoke. "How's your investigation going?"

I crossed my arms. "I can't find much about the factory, just give me another day, I'll find it." I said confidently. I've been close so many times, and I'm almost there, I can feel it.
