"Wait a minute!" Remlia said suddenly.

"What? Do you have another story to tell?" Meihong turned around and looked at Remlia helplessly. "It's pointless to keep pestering her."

"You can call me a pesterer! But the way I can think of to save Fran... is in your hands, Apple!" Remlia stepped forward quickly and grabbed Apple's shoulders.

“…Huh?” Sarinko tilted his head in confusion and looked at Remlia.

How could I, a bystander who had been listening to the story without saying a word from the beginning, suddenly save your sister?

"Apple? How can this kid who can't even take care of himself help you?" Meihong raised her eyebrows.

Meihong, I know you are telling the truth, but it is really hurtful to say it so bluntly.

“If I can help…” Remlia stared at Sarinko with fiery eyes, as if she had placed all her hopes on Sarinko. “If it’s within your ability…”

"Sarinko's ability? Isn't it just to create...an explosion?" Meihong still couldn't understand, but Sarinko next to her suddenly shouted.

“Ahhh! Drawing a card?… Ugh! It’s a wish!”

"If you're not lying to me, Apple, this ability to communicate with other worlds can definitely help us find tools to seal or weaken Fran's abilities." Remlia looked at Sarinko seriously.

"Wait, let me ask." Zoringo directly opened the system panel and asked the customer service. "Yes, it's OK. You can get it!"

The answer was affirmative. Not to mention weakening abilities, there were also many props that could directly turn the ability users back into ordinary humans.

"Then I will provide the money, and you must summon that item for me." Remlia's mood gradually calmed down. Although she did not occupy the entire Gensokyo, she at least found a roundabout way to save the country.

"But my ability is very random. I might not get what I want for several years..." Sarinko said weakly, interrupting Remlia's beautiful fantasy of the future.

"It's okay, at least there's a hope." Remlia waved her hand and said generously, "Problems that can be solved with money and time are not a problem!"

"..." Meihong looked at the two guys who suddenly reached a consensus and twitched her lips.

Is she the only one whose feelings are excluded?

Well, that also includes the one on my shoulder (Marisa).

"Without further delay, let's begin the summoning now. Follow me to the vault."

At this moment, two dark shadows suddenly flew out from the stairs.

"Remi, this is bad."

It's Patchouli!

Chapter 105: Blood Fate

"Patch? What's making you so panicked?" Remlia, who was in a good mood, looked at Patchouli and said, "Let me tell you, it's possible that Fran's ability can be controlled~"

"Is it Apple's ability? Although I'm happy for you, now is not the time to talk about this." Patchouli took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Sister-san has broken through the seal and ran out of the basement!"

"Eh?" Remlia tilted her head in confusion. "Shouldn't Fran be sleeping at this time?"

"I don't know why, but it's a fact that she escaped." Patchouli frowned and said, "I'm afraid she will find us here soon... If she escapes from the Scarlet Devil Mansion, the situation will be serious.

"Ah, it's almost night now... If Fran is let go, I don't know what will happen to the nearby villages." Remlia bit her thumb and looked serious. "Although I don't care about this kind of thing, you obviously don't want this to happen."

“…Okay, okay, stop pretending, we will help you.” Meihong couldn’t help but roll her eyes. The two of them were acting too obviously.

"Ah, I actually hope I can go back soon... Really, it's almost over and yet there's still this kind of trouble." Hakurei Reimu yawned and said, "As long as we defeat that guy named Fran, it will be easy, very easy."

"With so many people here, my sister probably won't be able to do anything." Patchouli nodded and said, "Although she has super powers, she has been locked up in the basement and has no combat experience. She has been relying on instinct to cause trouble."

"Hey, hey! What about me?" Sarinko raised his hand and said, "I can help too!"

"Oh, of course." Hakurei Reimu pointed at Marisa who was lying on Meihong's shoulder and said, "Little boy, just hold this black and white fool aside. I won't be able to take care of you when the fight starts."

"I agree with this. You should just watch from the side. You've been in the spotlight enough today." Meihong threw Marisa over. "Come on, take it."

"Eh... I'm disappointed..." Sarinko puffed up her cheeks, but still went forward to hug Marisa and said, "Well, then I'll give you a chance to perform~ After all, once I'm on the stage, nothing will be a problem."

"Yes, yes, please give me a chance to perform." Meihong rolled her eyes and continued what Sarinko said.

"..."

"Remi, what's wrong?" Patchouli walked up to Remlia, looked at her thoughtful expression and said, "Look at this team. There is no chance that we will fail."

"Wow, you put up such a big flag right away... What are you thinking about, Patchi?" Remlia couldn't help but complain to Patchouli, "Well, I was just wondering... where Fran would be now."

"Did she just run away? No, that's probably the least likely." Remlia analyzed her sister's route.

"Since she's in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, there's nothing to worry about." Meihong waved her hand and said, "Just find her out and catch her."

"Although Fran doesn't normally perform surprise attacks, I'll still explain her abilities."

"Flan's ability... is extremely destructive. Even if it were me, there would be no chance of survival if she caught me." Remlia explained.

"Are you?" Sarinko followed Remlia's words and asked a question.

"Well, in Fran's eyes, all objects have 'eyes'. That is the most important part of the object, and Fran can easily destroy it."

"If she steals our eyes... then we have no chance of winning." Remlia stretched out her hand and slowly clenched it. "Then, she only needs to gently clench her fist... and we will burst one by one like inflated balloons, boom."

"It is precisely because Fran lacks a lot of common sense that she will not let up and will treat every battle as a game."

"You're exaggerating your sister's ability." Hakurei Reimu scratched her ears and said with dead eyes, not taking Remlia's words seriously at all. "Just beat her so that she can't even move before she crushes her eyes... no, before she steals our eyes away."

"…Can you do this, Hakurei Miko?"

"Tsk, I really was underestimated. Don't take this kind of thing so easily." Reimu Hakurei rolled her eyes. She was unhappy that Remlia looked down on her so easily, and threw the coin in her hand to the ground.

Reimu Hakurei was silent for a moment and pointed in the direction where the imperial coins fell.

"She's there, I feel it."

“…Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, you threw the coin in this direction just by yourself, this can’t be considered intuition.” Remlia frowned and complained, but suddenly her pupils dilated and she said in surprise, “Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey…Ah, wait, why did the fate line suddenly change? This…Flan, are you really hiding there? Hiding behind that support!”

“…As expected of you, elder sister.” A childish voice sounded from behind the stone pillar, and the vampire sister named Flandre walked out from behind the stone pillar with confidence.

"As expected, Fran can't escape from Onee-sama's ability. She was found so quickly~! Fate is really unfair... Is there some thread connecting us two sisters?"

Her thick blond hair was tied into a side ponytail, and she wore a zun hat on her head that was exactly the same as Remlia's. She wore a dark red short-sleeved shirt and miniskirt, and the colorful crystals hanging on the wings behind her were very eye-catching.

Curiosity was revealed in her big red eyes. This time, after she ran out of the basement, it was not Sakuya and Benimisuzu who came to intercept her.

"It was obviously me who found it." Reimu complained quietly.

"Ah, that's the so-called sisterly bond, or something like that, Flandre." Remlia took a step forward, approached Flandre and said, "I've seen you, go back to the basement obediently."

“Fran, I don’t want to~ It’s a rare opportunity for me to come out!” Flandre stuck out her pink tongue at Remlia and made a face. “It’s too boring to be caught by my elder sister like this!”

"Sister, are those humans behind you toys for Fran?" Fran had an innocent smile on her face. "They give off a very interesting smell!"

"No, Flandre." Remlia stretched out her hand and separated Flandre from Reimu and the others as if to declare her sovereignty. "They are my guests. You are not allowed to attack them."

"Well, that's even more meaningless... It's so rare for Fran to see her sister, so even her little wish won't be fulfilled for her?"

"... Go back to the basement. This is the last time, Fran." Remlia took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "It won't be long... You will be able to better control your abilities. At that time... You can go out freely, play, go to school, make friends... I will not interfere with you in these things anymore."

"Hey - is what elder sister said true? She actually cares about Fran so much. Fran, Fran is really happy!" Flandre squinted her eyes and raised one foot slightly, looking playful and cute. "But elder sister said something very strange~"

"Fran, Fran can obviously control her abilities very well~ Sister really loves to joke~..."

"Thump——" The blood-red Gungnir suddenly stabbed at Fran's feet.

"... "

“…If you really think you can control your abilities, then try to defeat me as usual.” Remlia maintained her javelin-throwing posture, her blood-red eyes emitting a strange light.

"…Hmm, are you serious?" Flandre narrowed her eyes, and a black magic sword that was difficult to describe appeared in her hand. "Do you really want to lock me back in the basement?"

"Give me..." "You..."

“…Go back!!” “…Dream on!!”

The magic sword and the divine spear collided violently! !

Chapter 106: Lalafel

The two sides fought back and forth for more than a dozen rounds in a short while.

"See, my strength is not inferior to yours at all. You have no reason to keep me locked up here!" Flandre swung the magic sword in her hand vigorously again and again, completely crushing Remlia in momentum.

"..." Remlia was silent for a moment, and suddenly gave up controlling Gungnir, watching Levadin about to pierce through her body.

"Why did you suddenly give up resistance?! Do you think you have a sure win? Do you think I won't dare to stab you just because you are my sister?" The awkward black weapon stopped at Remlia's chest. Flandre stared at Remlia with dissatisfaction and shouted loudly.

“…No, maybe it’s too late to say that now.” Remlia closed her eyes as if recalling a memory, and shook her head. “I just think…if I believed that you could control your abilities at the beginning, and even if you made mistakes, we sisters could correct them together, then now…maybe it wouldn’t have come to this.”

"Oh, you're actually starting to regret your decision to sit down. You're getting old, sister!" Flandre impatiently threw Levadin aside and said, "Nothing can be undone! Either send me back to the dungeon, or you die here!"

"I am really a complete fool." Remlia raised her head and said to Flandre, "If you think killing me will make you feel better, then come on."

"You, you bastard..." Flandre hesitated for a moment before making up her mind. She picked up Levadin and chopped at Remlia. "Do you think I dare not? This is just what I want..."

"But you can't do it!" Remlia used Gungnir to send Levadin flying, and continued with a grief-stricken expression, "You won't even kill your sister who treated you like this? You are too kind, Fran..."

"..." Flandre was speechless, a little confused about what Remlia was doing.

"Why don't you just scold me!"

“[Beep——]…”

"You can't say it!" Remi made Fran's words choke in her throat and couldn't say anything. "How about you..."

"That's enough!" Fran was furious. She turned her fist into a palm and slapped Remlia, who aspired to be a comedy actor, to the ground.

Then he rode on Remi and started beating her.

...

This comedy-like interaction made the onlookers smile awkwardly but politely.

"...I remember whose skit this was?" Sarinko, who hadn't appeared in a month, couldn't help but complain, "I always feel like I'm just a background figure. It's so awkward to stay here...Should we leave first?"

"I told you not to get involved in other people's affairs from the beginning." Meihong patted Sarinko on the back with an experienced look, "There is no reason for us to get involved. Let's go. The abnormality has been resolved, right?"

"Well, the red mist has dissipated. The remaining family disputes will not be handled by the Hakurei Shrine." Hakurei Reimu yawned, dragged Marisa, who looked like a corpse, and staggered out. "You are guilty of causing the incident and wasting my time. Remember to give some gifts to the Hakurei Shrine, otherwise I will paint your walls in the middle of the night, Ola."

“…Let’s leave it at that for now.” Patchouli looked at the farce that had turned into one-sided domestic violence, holding her forehead helplessly and said, “Ringo, I’m sorry…I made a fool of myself by showing you this. After all, Remi’s thinking has always been rather unfocused, and I can’t figure out what she wants to do, but it seems there’s no way to know the answer now.”

"Hey, let's go back first today." Meihong responded.

It is impossible to understand Remlia's thoughts just by looking at her. I can only wait for her to explain it later.

"Well, let's go back." Sarinko nodded, not looking at the rubble on the ground.

This time it wasn't her who used explosion magic to blast it out.

...

Meihong sent Sarinko to the alchemy shop.

"It's only been one day, but I feel like I haven't been back for a month~!" Sarinko took off his coat, pounced on the soft sofa, and rubbed the small Northern pillow on it hard. "Long time no see!"

"Ha, it's great that we can successfully solve the red fog issue." Meihong pushed Zuo Linqin's feet out of the way, making a space for him to sit. "... But you..."

Meihong glanced at Sarinko, scratched her head helplessly and said, "Forget it, I won't say anything to you this time. Don't just disappear like this next time."

"Yes~ I will definitely work with Meihong to solve the abnormalities in the future." Sarinko put his little feet on Meihong's crossed legs.

"Tsk, who told you that I would go with you to solve the anomaly in the future." Meihong rolled her eyes and pushed away Sarinko's restless feet. "I suggest you don't get involved in the anomaly, there are deep waters in it."

"A brat like you... well, without any backing, without any strength, and who knows nothing, will be wiped out immediately once he comes into contact with something."

"Oh, this is really scary..." Sarinko lay down obediently and squinted his eyes and said, "But I don't plan to continue to get involved in the change. This time, I feel very tired just by watching."

"Well, it's good that you know yourself." Meihong stood up and said, "Then I'll go first. Are you okay alone?"

"No problem, no problem. Say hello to Huiyin for me~" Sarinko watched Meihong walk out of the alchemy shop.

Well, it’s time to go to bed. There’s not much to do at night... By the way, I have to take a shower before that!

...

"Welcome to the world of dreams." The blue-haired girl sat on the expensive goose down sofa and cast a glance at Sarinko.

“…I remember you, you are the weirdo who calls herself Lala!” Sarinko held his head and got up from the ground. This dream was different from the last one.

The originally broken scene seemed to begin to merge together, and it felt like... a stage for performance?

"I see. It seems that this stage has left the most profound impression on you. Let's put this aside for now." Lala maintained a calm expression and spoke lines that seemed to have been planned long ago.

Lala placed her hand on her abdomen and tapped the back of her hand with her index finger from time to time.
