Missing Maid

"Noelle is missing?" Sai raised a brow.

"A few hours ago, Kaeya was once again…" Lisa glimpsed at Jean. "…summoned… by the Traveler. When he came to himself, he was beside the Statue of The Seven in Qingyun Peak, and Amber was there, too."

'It appears the cooldown for my summoning is more than half a day… Perhaps there is simply no way to summon me again… Or maybe he just forgot to summon me…'

"Qingyun Peak?" Sai didn't remember exactly where it was.

"Yes, in Liyue. Yesterday, Noelle and the other two appeared together at Dragonspine at the same time we were at Starfell Lake, so we think she was summoned with them today again." Lisa calmly stated.

"So Kaeya and Amber have returned, but not Noelle?"

Lisa nodded and added:

"We thought you might know something."

"Please, Mr. Sai. I know it is unwelcoming of us to ask you, but please tell us what you know about these incidents." Jean put both hands over her table and pleaded with an honest look.

"Master Jean, I told you I would help however I could. Also, there's no need to be so polite, just call me Sai." He answered with a smile. Then turned to Lisa.

"I will help in however ways I can, but first I would like to get some basic information down." He glanced at Jean, then at Lisa.

The latter woman felt that Sai was suspicious, but decided to comply due to no better options.

"What do you want to know?" Lisa sounded slightly bothered.

"Hmm, let's see. Firstly, how do you know about this?"

"Kaeya made a report as soon as he came back." She replied.

"Did he come back with Amber?"

"Yes."

"How long has it been since they came back?"

"About three hours."

'So the last time the player entered the game was three hours ago, more or less.'

"Hmm… this is strange… Could it be that she is still on her way back?" Sai racked his brain to understand the situation.

"On her way back? What do you mean?" Jean shot back.

"Well, it must take a while to get here from Liyue, right?" Sai was confused with their confusion.

"Hm? No? Noelle has a Vision, so…" Jean tilted her head and answered.

"You don't know about teleportation, do you?" Lisa was the first to grasp the situation.

Sai finally understood. He grabbed his temples while admitting his stupidity. 'Of course they can teleport… why did I think only Aether could…'

"The ones blessed by the gods can use elemental power to connect to a Teleportation Waypoint they have put a sigil on previously. This allows them to instantly move between great distances in the blink of an eye. The Traveler uses strange means to summon Vision users like us. Although… you are an exception." Lisa explained.

"People without a Vision can't teleport, then?"

"That's right. In normal circumstances." She assented.

'So if she wanted, she could come back instantaneously… Wait a second—'

"You didn't teleport us both here yesterday because you couldn't, right?"

Lisa was caught off guard by his question. She truthfully said:

"I didn't try to, in the first place." She shook her head with a small smile and shrugged.

"…"

"Is there anything else you need to know?" Jean intervened.

"Hmm… I need two things. Get me a map of Liyue. Actually, scratch that. I need as many maps of this world as you can find." Sai demanded.

"Lisa, if you would." Jean asked her friend.

"Sigh… alright, I will bring them here." Lisa was annoyed but quickly left the office.

"And the other thing?"

"I need everything you know about the recent history of Liyue and Mondstadt. Everything since you first met the Traveler."

"Mr. Sai, I cannot emphasise enough the importance of this issue. Noelle's safety depends on our next actions, so if you don't find an answer, I won't be able to defend you anymore." Jean was serious.

"Master Jean, please don't worry. I assure you that I will find what happened to Noelle. Also, please just call me Sai." He smiled.

"Very well, Sai. I am trusting you." She looked in dead in the eyes.

Sai smiled in response, but what she said entered through one ear and left in the other.
