Chapter 9 - Starting a Business

Gloom.

"So a vision is a key to becoming a God, mine is an Electro one, meaning the best place to train it is in Inazuma and ask... Someone..." She thought, looking at her wand, "Maybe I can use this." She considered.

Waving it around a bit, trying to trigger somethig didn't yield any results, "Waving doesn't work..." She understood before reying to poke the energy sphere at the tip, "Maybe I can place something in it?" She wondered, grabbing a stone from the ground and placing it in the sphere.

When she let it go, the stone floated in the middle of the middle of the sphere, morphing into a small sculpture, "Okay?" Gloom said, not sue what just happened, so she tried waving it now, causing a stream of stone to appear midair and move in the direction she moved, disappearing when she stopped.

"That's something alright..." Gloom said in surprise, before trying something else, by moving the wand in such a way that it made a sled, "Absolutely perfect!" She exclaimed, jumping on the sled and riding it, using her Electro Vision for propulsion.

Shimmer.

After lifting up the ruins, Shimmer spent a bit searching around, "I wonder what world this comes from." She thought as she entered the umpteenth building, "And this one's empty too..." She lamented, having come out empty handed from this.

"So much for finding useful stuff." She mused to herself before realizing that there's still another building, "Maybe that one." She muttered as she headed over.

Entering, she saw something that made her eyes light up, "Holy mother of War!" She exclaimed in excitement, "These guns are so pretty!" She exclaimed, hurrying to get a closer look, "Whoever made these made them as colector pieces, a revolver with golden filings, a musket with a dragon design, these things would fetch for a pretty penny for collectors." She thought, realizing how much she could earn from this.

She checked the guns a little more before realizing, "...Fuck these things are functional... Incredibly so..." She said before getting an idea, "I could make regular weapons with these mechanical designs and sell those two!" She exclaimed, thinking how her mora problems would be over.

Gloom.

"And then I realized, I have no idea where Inazuma is." Gloom finished explaining to Pantalone why she was in Liyue at the moment.

The Harbringer nodded at that, "Now that I think about it, you've only been in Snezhnaya, Liyue, Mondstadt and Fontaine, so that should explain it." He commented.

Gloom sighed in response, "And that's why I stopped here for directions." She finished, Could you please by any chance?" She requested.

"Give me just a moment." Pantalone replied as he went to a drawer and got a map of Teyvat, "Look, Inazuma is this archipelago here." He explained, pointing to the collection of islands at the edge of the map.

Giving the map a look, Gloom nodded, "I see, thank you leggings, I owe you one." She thanked the bank owner, who frowned.

"How about you make it up to me right now, by not calling me that anymore?" He requested, really, really not liking the nickname.

"Let me think about it..." Gloom responded, putting a hand to her chin, "No." She said just a moment after, "See ya." She said with a peace sign before leaving.

Shimmer.

After a while, Shimmer managed to make blueprints of the guns she found, "That took longer then expected, but this should do it." She thought, "Seraphim, can you confirm this is as good as it can be?" She asked the voice in her head.

"As good as it can be made." Seraphim confirmed, "The parts that I made you draw can be found in Fontaine, with the help of your World Wand you'll just need one of each part." It explained.

Shimmer gave her wand a look, "Is that what this is called?" She asked, but decided to move onto more important things, "What's the quickest way to Fontaine?" She changed her question.

Forcing Shimmer to see the map, Seraphim drew a path to Fontaine, "This path should save the most time." The voice said.

"Alright, better get going." Shimmer thought as she went to the roots of the island and slid down.

Gloom.

"We should arrive at Inazuma in about a day." Beidou told Gloom, "You're lucky we were just about to depart." She informed.

Gloom waved that off, "Or you would have thrown me off as a stoaway, yeah yeah." She said, already knowing the spiel.

"Fair enough." Beidou responded to that, "By the way, what business do you have in Inazuma? Plan to sell your mead there too?" She asked curiously.

"No, no..." Gloom refuted, "...Maybe after." She considered, "I want to ask the Shogun to train me in using electro." She explained.

That tidbit made Beidou sweatdrop, "That's... Not a bad idea..." She commented, "But she won't be holding back you know?" She warned, "It would be better if you asked the pink shrine maiden, she's much better at playing nice." She suggested.

The reincarnated girl nodded at that, "Alright, I'll keep that in mind." She said, "Until we arrive though, don't wake me up." She told the ship's captain who just smiled fondly.
