Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl
Chapter 31 Stealing a Book is Stealing
Entering the Mond Library, Wang Chen greeted Lisa familiarly.
With the income from "Fairy Tale in the Box", Wang Chen, who does not have to go to work, has more free time on weekdays in addition to training his mental strength and developing combat skills. During this time, he will come to the library to expand his knowledge.
He set a small goal: to visit the entire library.
"You always come to read books, but you never borrow them."
"As long as you finish reading it here, you don't have to borrow it away."
"That's right."
Lisa looked through the book borrowing list and gradually frowned.
"There are actually several books that have not been returned when they are due. It's really..."
Wang Chen's heart moved. Could this be Lisa's legendary mission? A good opportunity to improve her favorability. He stopped before he could get away from the front desk.
"Miss Lisa, what's wrong?"
"Oh, what a troublesome job. I have to collect some overdue books."
"Someone actually dared to violate the "Library Usage Guidelines, Seventh Edition". Can I go over and see who is so bold?"
Lisa was indeed a little embarrassed that the rules she made were ignored, but she didn't show it at all.
She sighed quietly, "There will always be people who don't learn their lesson, and there will always be first-time offenders. If you want to see it, then follow me."
Immediately, Lisa skillfully left the library and took Wang Chen out to look for books.
The first stop is the Wind of Glory.
As expected, Lisa didn’t ask directly about the book. “Ms. Marjorie, have you found any interesting souvenirs recently?”
Wang Chen stood by and said nothing.
"Want a souvenir? Don't worry, there must be something here that Miss Lisa likes." Marjorie responded enthusiastically, and then looked at Wang Chen next to her, "Who is this?"
During work hours, a man and a woman came to choose souvenirs, and Mary Jo's gossipy spirit was ignited.
"This is Chen, my new friend."
Mary Joe instigated, "Oh? How about letting Chen choose it? It will be more memorable?"
Lisa was a little annoyed. This guy came here to watch the fun, and you let him choose.
However, before Lisa could answer, Chen spoke first, "Okay, okay, then what are the options?"
"Let me see. Pumpkin pants, torn scrolls, dolls, rusty swords. These are the latest arrivals."
"Wow, this doll is so cute."
Lisa crossed her arms and said nothing, with a half-smile on her face. Wang Chen felt that the concentration of thunder elements around him had increased a little.
He continued slowly, "But this doll seems to be a voodoo doll. Legend has it that anyone who receives a voodoo doll will be cursed."
“Is that so?” Mary Jo smiled sheepishly and put the voodoo doll away. “I don’t really understand these things, but they are indeed very rare.”
"It doesn't matter...just choose this torn scroll." After paying Mora, Wang Chen handed the torn scroll to Lisa.
"Hey, could this be the lost chapter of "A Study of the Northern Winds"... It actually is here." Lisa had just been playing around, but ended up getting an unexpected surprise, and all her unhappiness was gone.
"You have a good eye. This is an excellent material for studying the ancient people's understanding of elemental forces. I will accept it."
Then Lisa said to Mary Joe: "Then Ms. Mary Joe, please give me "The Legend of Vanessa" -"
"Miss Lisa also admires Lady Vanessa. Why didn't you say so earlier? I have a lot of related souvenirs here, such as -"
Wang Chen couldn't help but interrupt her, "Ahem, Miss Lisa is talking about the book you borrowed and didn't return it on time."
"Oh, so that book is overdue? I still have it with me. Sorry, sorry."
Wang Chen had seen it a long time ago and had placed it on the counter. Mary Joe probably looked at it whenever she had time, and it was obvious how much she liked Vanessa.
"Well, since you admire Lady Vanessa so much, please be careful next time."
Next stop was the Deer Hunter Restaurant.
"Welcome to the Deer Hunter, are you two coming together?"
Wang Chen looked at the time. It was half past eleven, just in time for lunch. "Yes, two servings of carrot and vegetable soup, please."
Then Wang Chen explained to Lisa: "If you do those troublesome tasks first, the delicious food will become tasteless. Let's eat first. It's my treat."
Lisa sat down at the table somewhat unnaturally, and heard Wang Chen say, "Vegetable soup is very particular about the quality of the ingredients, the order of adding the dishes, and the control of the heat. It is said that witches a long time ago loved to make soup. What do you think, Miss Lisa?"
"...I like it too, but I prefer afternoon tea."
Lisa felt very strange, whether it was the ideas that were very similar to hers, the dishes she liked, or the person in front of her who was talking to her with his back to him using bouncing bombs.
Perhaps he understood the air, Wang Chen explained: "I'm sorry Miss Lisa, I have some special reasons and it's inconvenient for me to show my face."
"Everyone has secrets, I won't delve into them."
They were supposed to come together to eat, but they ended up sitting at two tables. Sarah didn't understand it, but she didn't need to understand this for her job.
After tasting the carrot and vegetable soup, Lisa got down to business. "Thank you for the hospitality. Please return the copy of The Wild Boar Princess."
"Oh, that book I borrowed last time. Is it due before I have time to read it? I'm so sorry, Miss Lisa. I will return it myself after get off work."
"Well, don't forget it again."
The last stop is Huayu Flower Shop.
On the way to the flower shop, Wang Chen joked, "Although the borrowing rules set by Miss Lisa are scary, they are not enforced."
"Alas, they are just ordinary people after all. I can't really electrocute them."
The owner was obviously on duty, but when she saw someone approaching her, Donna still greeted them with a good attitude, "Do you two have any flowers you like? I can go and wrap them up."
Wang Chen, who was addicted to stealing Lisa's lines, didn't know whether he should say something or not, so he remained silent.
Lisa looked at him with interest. "Hmm... a date without the scent of flowers is never romantic. Which book says that?"
Feeling that Wang Chen was stunned for a moment, Lisa was secretly delighted and had turned the tables.
She then said, "How about you pick a bunch of flowers?"
Following Lisa's gaze, Donna also looked at Wang Chen.
"Okay. Are there any roses here?"
"Ah, the store happens to have a bunch of roses that I bought from a traveling merchant a few days ago. The store manager said that maybe someone would like it."
"I just like roses, I like them very much."
"There's only one hidden option for this bouquet. It seems like you really have a connection with roses."
"Right."
Lisa felt something strange, but she couldn't say it out loud. However, she really missed the rose.
"Have you heard of the name 'Rose Witch'? Hmm... I thought I would never see fresh roses again after returning to Mondstadt, but this seems to be a good omen."
"As long as you like it."
"Okay, let's get down to business, Miss Donna. Do you know why we came to see you?"
"Serious business? Your date isn't serious business?"
"Ahem... As expected, you don't take books seriously again. Do you still remember "The White Princess and the Six Dwarfs"? "
"Ah... that..." Donna looked nervous, "I lost the book."
"?"
"Some time ago, I remembered that the due date for returning a book was approaching, so I was about to return it to the library, but I couldn't find it anywhere. It was as if someone had stolen it."
"If it was really stolen, then it's not your fault. The person who stole the book will be held responsible. And he will have to pay three times the amount. No..."
Wang Chen answered quickly: "Ten times the price."
Lisa rolled her eyes at him and continued, "I have marked each book with a specific element. The book thief will definitely leave clues. Chen, can you sense the elements?"
In Lisa's opinion, being favored by Alice and being able to use elemental power was a certainty, but she had never seen Wang Chen's Eye of God.
"give it to me."
Wang Chen opened his elemental vision and found a ball of purple elemental force at the gate of Mondstadt. "Is this the mark? It looks very clear."
Lisa nodded. "From the traces, it's very likely that it was stolen. It's not a book from the restricted section, so why would it be stolen?"
"Restricted Book Zone?"
"In fact, it's just some books that are not suitable for ordinary people to read. The most urgent thing is to retrieve this book. Do you want to go with me?"
"of course."
