"You have been involved in a shocking conspiracy. Now your future is shrouded in a fog... If you don't exercise yourself, perhaps one day you will meet your own end."
"...Why are you so serious all of a sudden?" Sarinko was still a little confused. "That's fine, I don't understand what you are talking about at all. What's the ending?"
“…Well, it might be a bit too difficult to ask you to get into the role all of a sudden. Anyway, just think of me as someone who wants to help you.” Lala narrowed her eyes, stretched out a hand, and said to Sarinko with her palm, “I will help you change that bad ending, but everything depends on you.”
"Well, let me introduce myself in detail once again." A deck of tarot cards appeared in Lala's hand. As she waved her hand, the tarot cards formed a circle and flew in the air. "My name is Lara Phil, a person who exists in the gap between reality and dreams, between spirit and matter."
"The time is not yet ripe...Enjoy this last period of peaceful life."
"Then, see you next time."
Chapter 107 Remi Seeks Help
"Wait, wait! Is there anything else I can ask?!" Sarinko suddenly climbed out from the quilt, grasping at nothing with one hand, as if calling for something.
Then a gust of cold wind blew, and Sarinko shivered violently.
"Ouch, it's so cold!" Sarinko suddenly crawled back into the quilt, opened his eyes and looked around which was still dim.
…It’s still midnight.
I checked the built-in clock on the system and it was 2 a.m., enough time for another sleep.
"Really? You actually took the initiative to bring someone else into your dream... You should just let me stay until I wake up..." Sarinko yawned. "Then go back to sleep... Good night."
In this dazed state, Sarinko will soon fall asleep...
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang--" There were rapid and loud knocks on the door.
You know, once Zoringo falls asleep, he will not be disturbed! And this knock on the door just happened to wake him up from his half-sleep state!
"..." Sarinko frowned. Because of Kazami Yuuka, there was no one to feed her on the street where she lived.
You're knocking on the door in the middle of the night, are you trying to scare me to death?
"Just ignore it... He will leave in a while. It has nothing to do with me." Sarinko covered his ears and turned over. "It can't be Meihong. Meihong has the key to this place."
"Hey, Apple, open the door, I'm here to play with you!" The clear voice of a little girl came from outside the door.
"..." Sarinko forced herself not to listen. "Haha, I must be hallucinating. How could there be such a staff that is made to be played with in the middle of the night..."
But the more I listened to this voice, the more it sounded like Remi... It was an illusion, it must be an illusion.
"Go to sleep..."
"Knock, knock, knock, knock!!!" The knocking on the door became louder and louder, as if it was going to break down the iron door.
There is no doubt that Remi is definitely capable of doing this!
"Don't play dead, I know you are at home. If you don't open the door, I will tear it down." Remlia's impatience had obviously reached its peak. One hand was knocking on the door, and the other hand was frantically pressing the doorknob up and down. "I'll count down to three seconds, three! Two..."
"That's enough for you!"
Under such a disturbing attack, the door was opened as Remi expected, and was accompanied by a punch in the face.
"Eula!"
"Mu Da!" Remlia dodged Zoringo's punch nimbly, put a hand on Zoringo's shoulder, and walked into the store on her own initiative. "Oh, you finally opened the door. I was almost frozen to death by the cold wind outside~"
“Stop, stop, stop, stop. Don’t act so familiar all of a sudden.” Zoringo puffed up her cheeks and used her arm to stop Remlia from moving forward. “Why are you coming to my little place to disturb people instead of staying in your Scarlet Devil Mansion in the middle of the night?”
“…That’s a long story~” Remlia smiled with her eyes narrowed.
"... Let's make it short." Sarinko stared at Remi's face unmoved. "Stare..."
“Ahaha, do you really want to tell us? We are friends after all, it’s such an embarrassing thing…” Remlia scratched her head and continued to play dumb.
"Tell me quickly, or go back." Sarinko said firmly.
"Ah, Apple, you are really strict." Remlia tilted her head and said unhappily, she was not able to get away with it. "I handed the management of the Scarlet Devil Mansion to my sister."
“…What the hell?”
...The girl is explaining...
"In other words, because you wanted to get closer to your sister and compensate your sister Fran, you gave the position of the Scarlet Devil Mansion Master to your sister?" Zoringo wordlessly sorted out the information Remlia said. "And after your sister gladly accepted it, the first order she gave was to kick you out of the Scarlet Devil Mansion?! Wait, did I hear you right? You actually just left like that?"
"Ah, if this is really Fran's wish, then I am willing to accept it... After all, I owe her so much." Remlia smiled freely.
Of course I forgive her!
"Oh, the bad sister has a change of heart and is planning to compensate her younger sister..." After nodding, Sarinko slapped her thigh and said, "What the hell, what does this have to do with me? Get out of here and don't stay in my shop!"
"Please, Apple! I have nowhere to go right now. I'm only a little bit close to you in Gensokyo, so please have some pity on me and let me stay for a while!"
"Even if you ask me to pity you, I sleep on the sofa myself!" Sarinko said speechlessly, "It's full of things, can't even make a bed on the floor!"
"It doesn't matter! We both have petite bodies. Even if we are on the same sofa, if we squeeze together..." Remlia blushed and said, "You're lucky to have a beautiful girl like me sleep with you. No matter how you think about it, it's a win!"
"Stop, stop, stop. I don't remember us being so close!" Zuo Linqin refused with both hands, blushing and saying, "Aren't you a bat spirit? I'll give you a pole, and you try to sleep upside down..."
"Too cruel! And I'm not a bat spirit, I'm a noble vampire, okay! I won't hang upside down like a bat!" Remlia grinned, "...You forced me to do this. It's rare for me to lower myself to discuss this with you...If you don't accept it, don't blame me...Don't forget, you still owe me a large sum of money!"
"I don't owe you, I owe it to the Scarlet Devil Mansion." Sarinko complained.
"The Scarlet Devil Mansion was originally my territory!... Well, it's not my territory now." Remlia lowered her head. "I don't care. You owe me money anyway!"
“…Well, there’s really nothing I can do about you.” Sarinko sighed and pulled back the hand that was holding Remi. “Come in.”
"Oh, you've succumbed to my majesty, it's quite good for an apple~" Remlia put her hands on her hips as if she had won and walked into the alchemy shop. "It's such a shabby little place, why don't you try to expand it?"
"Where will the funds come from?" Sarinko pouted and replied, helping Remlia to spread the quilt. "Just sleep on the sofa."
"What about you?" Remlia looked around and there was indeed no other place where she could sleep peacefully.
"...I'll sleep here." Sarinko opened the closet with only a few clothes in it, curled up and lay down inside. "If you have nothing to do, stop arguing. Good night."
He closed the closet door with a bang.
"Ah... I say, why don't we sleep together?" Remlia twitched her lips. Sleeping in the closet would not be comfortable no matter how you think about it. "As long as you don't take off your clothes, I won't mind. Yeah, probably."
"Don't worry about me and go to bed." Sarinko's voice came weakly from the closet.
"...Okay, I'm sorry, I will make it up to you in the future." Remlia nodded and crawled into the still warm bed. "...Why does it smell sweet..."
Soon Remlia fell asleep from her wild thoughts.
……
then--
Early in the morning, Remlia woke up in the closet.
Chapter 108: Go to school, problem child
Click, click - the sound of the door being opened by the key, and Meihong pushed the door open.
"Hey, Lazy Apple, are you up? I brought you breakfast..." Meihong looked at the wrestling between Sarinko and Remlia and raised her eyebrows.
"…meal."
"I say, what are you two doing?"
……
"This is really a surprise." Meihong stroked her forehead, "So our vampire lady has nowhere to go now, right?"
"Well, that's about it." Remlia put the sweet bean bun in her mouth and licked her fingers. "I didn't expect the common people's food to be so special. Have another one."
"Hey, how much have you eaten? This is for me!" Sarinko held a vegetable bun in his mouth and hurriedly protected the few pastries on the table. "Go find something to eat yourself!"
"You stingy guy, it's just a few pastries... get out of my way!" Remlia gritted her teeth and pried Sarinko's hand away with her hands. "Is this the right attitude to have when facing a customer?!"
Unfortunately, it didn't move at all.
"I didn't invite you!" Sarinko picked up the wrapped paper bag and started running, stuffing snacks into his mouth as he ran.
"I'm here now, and I slept in the cupboard yesterday. You have to make it up to me!" Remlia summoned several bats. The small and agile bats snatched the last sweet bean bun in the paper bag in a flash and delivered it to Remlia.
"Hehehe, then I'll accept it..." Remlia opened her sharp teeth and bit the sweet bean bun, and the bean paste flowed all over her mouth.
“Ahhhhh, look at what you did!” Zoringo covered his face and rushed towards Remlia.
"You've already eaten so much! Just give me the last one!"
"This originally belonged to me, I won't give it to you! Ugh—" Sarinko gritted her teeth and said, "You have completely pissed me off!"
"Well, I'll return this sentence to you intact." Remlia raised her lips, spread her devil wings, and made a threatening gesture. "As a human being, what can you do even if you are angry?"
"Ola Ola Ola!"
"Mu Da Mu Da Mu Da!"
"Alas... One Sarinko is already enough of a headache, and now there is a willful young lady." Meihong covered her face and sighed, "Hey, stop making trouble, this little house can't stand such a toss."
"Yeeeeeart!!"
"wasssssshoi!!"
"……#" Meihong twitched her lips and her eyebrows jumped. "You really don't listen to my advice. Grit your teeth!"
Meihong stood up, and as Sarinko passed by, she threw a straight punch that hit Sarinko's forehead accurately.
"Guwa!"
……
"Why are you hitting me alone? It's obvious that Remi is the one causing the most trouble!" Sarinko covered the protruding bump on his head and looked at Meihong with distrust. "I strongly request that you punch Remi on the head as well!"
"Ha, you're the one who took her in, and now she's your guest?" Meihong said speechlessly, deliberately avoiding looking at the naughty kid Remi making faces behind her.
Otherwise she was afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself.
"Humph, angry." Sarinko puffed up her cheeks. "If she hadn't threatened us with the outstanding debt all the time..."
"Hey, vampire." Meihong thought for a moment and turned to Remlia and said, "I say, if your sister never forgives you, you won't stay here in Zoringo forever. It's time to think of a way out."
"Ah, ah... Of course I understand this kind of thing... Fran wouldn't let me go back for the rest of my life, right?" Remlia stammered.
“But don’t worry, I won’t stay here forever like a parasite! It’s just a matter of finding a place to live, how can it be difficult for me, Remi-sama~” Remlia put her hands on her hips and patted her chest which was ‘empty’. “As for now, I won’t live here for nothing, just leave it to me if you have any troubles!”
“Oh, then go to the Beast Path and pick some herbs for me.” After hearing what Remlia said, Saringo smiled instantly and put a thick book of herbs in Remlia’s hands. “Here, this one, this one, and this one. I need them to develop new medicines. It would be great if you could bring them back~”
“…I say, you really are good at climbing up the ladder.” Remlia gritted her teeth and said, “Can’t you be polite?”
"Well, please?" Sarinko tilted his head and said, "You can use honorifics now. Are you telling lies?"
“…I understand.” Remlia glared at Sarinko. “I’ll be back before lunch! As a reward for my work for you, remember to prepare my share!”
"I made a deal with Remlia."
"Accommodation Exchange: You can send Remlia to do chores in exchange for providing accommodation and food."
After taking a look at the information reflected on the system screen, Sarinko was stunned for a moment.
"Hey, are you really listening to me?" Remlia puffed up her cheeks as she saw that Sarinko was distracted.
"Ah, ah... I heard you. Have a safe trip." Sarinko nodded and looked at the system panel again.
New content, I’ve never seen it before...Did the person in the dream do anything to the system?
……
"Then I'll go take care of public security, too. The Autumn Harvest Festival is getting closer." Meihong took out a cigarette, put it in her mouth, and warned Sarinko, "Don't cause any trouble at this time, it will be very troublesome!"
"What do you think I am?" Sarinko lay on the sofa with his eyes narrowed.
"A lovely collection of troubles." Meihong laughed, and suddenly remembered something. She paused when she was about to open the door. "By the way, Huiyin thinks you are still old enough to go to school, and learning something may help you change your bad habits, so I want you to go to Terakoya for lessons."
"Eh?"
"You're free all day, so why don't you go and satisfy Huiyin's hobby?" Meihong winked at Sarinko. "Don't let Huiyin down... otherwise you know the consequences."
"Wait, wait, wait! You are obviously threatening me!" Zorinchin got up from the sofa in shock. "Besides, I don't have any free time. I still have to go to Patchouli to learn alchemy, and I also have to go to..."
"Well...anyway, you should consider it yourself. But it's okay if you go for a few days to learn and experience it. It's okay even if you only go for half a day." Meihong didn't give Sarinko a chance to reply, she just closed the door and left.
"...Ah." Sarinko hammered the sofa.
"Wait wait wait... This is not what we agreed on! We've already moved to another world, why do we suddenly have to go back to school?"
"Starting tomorrow, I will go to Terakoya to study in the morning."
"No Lu Sai! You don't need to remind me of this! Shame on you system!"
