Chapter 8 [Suspicious Paper]

-MORNING-

Scaramouche

"Holy shit!"

Scaramouche opened your door and stood there staring at your bed.

Scaramouche

"First it was the tent sex, now this?!"

Childe

"Scaramouche, we didn't have sex! You were being a big baby and you kept on pushing me around on the bed so I chose a better option! At least Y/N doesn't kick me off the bed!"

Scaramouche

"Sure, sure, I'll totally believe everything you say."

You

"... Huh?..."

You'd woken up just a bit later than they had.

Scaramouche

"Y/N! You slept with Childe!"

You

"Yeah, I'm pretty much aware of that."

Childe

"Yeah- We only slept in the same bed, nothing more."

You

"Pfft, Scara's still going on about this?"

Childe

"He's been talking about it since I woke up!"

Scaramouche

"I know it's true!"

You

"Okay- Cut the bullshit and get ready. We're gonna check out another domain."

Childe

"Again?"

Childe complained.

You

"Yes, again."

Scaramouche

"Why don't we just look for it above ground? The underground's so shady."

You

"Because, Scara, through these deadly and painful months of looking for the device, all my clues led to it being hidden in the underground. Even though it doesn't really feel like it, I know I'm getting closer."

Scaramouche

"Let's not go into any domains that are just like the last one. That one was way too much."

You searched the underground area for weeks. Nothing. Childe and Scara accompanied you on your journey, and every other domain you discovered was nearly empty.

You

"Shit... I'm running out of places for us to go."

Scaramouche

"Good! I'm getting tired of this shit, man!

Childe

"Surely there are more places, right?"

You

"We've gone to almost every marked spot on the map... At least we have a few clues?"

Scaramouche

"Yeah, 'a few'."

Childe
