After all, his will and spirit were far beyond what ordinary people could possess; it was as if he had already acquired a physical form.

As a mage who uses her brain, Patchouli can sense a person's inner strength, that is, their will and spirit.

Yang Xiying's will and spirit felt as vast as a galaxy to her; it's normal that someone with this quality learns everything quickly.

"...Physical form?" Alice seemed thoughtful when she heard Patchouli say that, and then spoke up unconsciously.

Indeed, if Yang continues his training, he will definitely become an extraordinary figure, and that spirit will surely resonate with him.

[I imagine interacting with someone like that would be even more stressful.]

I understand that feeling.

Patchouli understood Alice's thoughts very well, because they intentionally approached Yang Xiying because of their pursuit of magic.

It just seems like it would be harder to approach if the other side became stronger, and they are not the type to handle this situation well.

……

"Lady Patchouli, Miss Alice, Yang, dinner is ready. Please rest for a while."

"Huh? It's already this late?"

With several girls by his side, Yang Xiying lost track of time during his cultivation until Izayoi appeared and he finally came to his senses.

—The others only realized it then.

“You’re still as selfless as ever when you’re training,” Izayoi Sakuya said with a slight smile.

"Haha, I'm sorry, I was originally planning to treat the two teachers to a meal," Yang Xiying said with a slightly embarrassed smile.

Because of Patchouli and Alice's tutoring, Yang Xiying was thinking of cooking dinner in return, even though they were currently in the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

But given his relationship with Sakuya, he should be able to get her to make an exception... and he can also cook in the Mind Palace.

"...Since you've come to the Scarlet Devil Mansion as a guest, Yang, please allow us to show you some hospitality. In any case, please wait for me for a moment."

As she spoke, Izayoi Sakuya suddenly disappeared from the spot, which made Yang Xiying a little concerned, because the maid was carrying food on a plate.

—It's like he's going to deliver food to someone.

"...Are you wondering who Sakuya is going to deliver food to?" Patchouli asked, noticing Yang Xiying staring in the direction where Izayoi Sakuya had disappeared.

“Yes,” Yang Xiying nodded in response, but he should know who Izayoi Sakuya was delivering food to right now.

“Speaking of which, there’s something I really need to remind you of,” Patchouli said at this point, “Don’t be too noisy when you come to the library in the future.”

"Because there are still residents here, including the younger sister of the Scarlet Devil Mansion's owner, the second young lady, Flandre Scarlet."

"You should have heard of it."

"Yes, I've heard about it," Yang Xiying nodded. A sadistic girl, huh? Although she first encountered her in "Girls' Great Summoning"...

Of course, this is still viewed from the perspective of Touhou Project. She is set as Remilia's younger sister, and compared to her gentlemanly older sister, she is more neurotic.

His mental state was unstable, and he possessed extremely powerful destructive abilities, so he was imprisoned in the basement of the Scarlet Devil Mansion for 495 years.

However, he denied being locked up, saying that such a blockade could be broken at any time, and that he was simply comfortable in the room and had no need to come out.

"Is that so? Compared to Remi, she is indeed a difficult person to get along with, so I only have one piece of advice."

"Don't go near that door with the magic circle over there, or there will be serious consequences."

"What are the serious consequences?"

——! ! !

Just as Patchouli finished speaking, a rather childish voice filled with curiosity suddenly rang out, making Yang Xiying and the other three's hair stand on end!

As the voice rang out, a powerful aura appeared, and a petite figure floated behind Patchouli.

She was just as cute as Remilia, and her face was somewhat similar to Remilia's.

Wearing a cute dress with red as the main color and white as the secondary color, the wings behind her are just skeletons, with various colored rhomboid gems hanging on them.

He wore a white soft hat with a bow, and had blond hair styled in a side ponytail, which was his second favorite hairstyle!

—The first is Alice's shoulder-length short hair.

"Second Miss! There are still guests here! You can't come out!"

At that moment, Sakuya suddenly appeared beside everyone, and looked at Patchouli with an apologetic gaze.

"I'm sorry, Lady Patchouli, I wasn't paying attention for a moment and the young lady..."

"It's alright, after all, Fran isn't some good kid who just runs away from home."

Patchouli did not blame Izayoi Sakuya, even though the person in front of her was the dangerous being she had mentioned before.

But after some recent events, they had some communication, and Fran has become more sensible. Remy allowed her to leave the basement and wander around the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

However, she still had to stay in the basement when there were guests, and Fran complied with this rule, since she never came out when Alice came.

So she must have her reasons for coming out now.

"Can you tell me why you're out here? There are guests here," in short, they need to get him back inside so they can have a proper chat.

"I was curious because Fran sensed a different scent from the usual guests, and it turned out to be a boy."

Flandre honestly explained the reason.

"If that's all, you should go back now that you've seen it all. You're going to scare the guests in your current state."

After all, this child is not yet skilled at controlling his breath.

“But neither the older brother nor the older sister seem scared,” Flandre tilted her head, looking puzzled.

"...!"

Flandre's words drew everyone's attention to Yang Xiying, who was standing calmly in front of Alice.

“By the way, big brother, you’re the person in the newspaper, right?” Flandre spoke up again, which surprised everyone.

—Because it means that the other side saw Yang Xiying acting crazy at the Hakurei Shrine.

"A newspaper...? Fran, where did you see it?!"

Patchouli couldn't help but speak up, explaining that Flandre had been staying in the basement and couldn't possibly have access to real-time information from the outside world.

—Besides, the newspapers Yang Xiying was featured in weren't suitable for her to read.

“It fell from the black and white rat that broke into the library and fought with her a while ago,” Flandre thought it wasn’t something worth hiding.

"That idiot, I, cough cough..." "Lady Patchouli, calm down."

Hearing Fran say that, Patchouli was immediately furious, to the point that even the little devil became nervous.

"..." Yang Xiying and Alice, who were standing to the side, had subtle expressions. There was even a situation where Flandre knew about current events in the outside world.

The black and white mice, they all know who it is, Kirisame Marisa, who has a habit of stealing other people's things, euphemistically calling it borrowing.

Because once she dies, the books will be returned naturally, as long as one takes the initiative to collect her body.

“…I’m calm, it’s just an asthma attack,” Patchouli took a deep breath; she wasn’t going to die from such a minor ailment.

"Fulan, Yang Xiying is indeed the person in the newspaper, but the newspaper is not authentic, so there is no need to take it seriously."

—And the idea of ​​wanting to be played with and ruined by Flandre seems like utter nonsense.

“What Patchouli said is useless. I want to hear Big Brother’s answer,” Flandre interrupted Patchouli.

"—Saying you want me to break you and stuff, big brother, are you trying to challenge me, Fran?"

"..."

Now only Yang Xiying can talk to Flandre.

PS: Four thousand words, two in one.

"...It would be somewhat impolite of me not to introduce myself at a time like this. Hello, Miss Flandre, the second young lady of the Scarlet Devil Mansion."

Hearing Flandre's words, Yang Xiying understood that it was time for him to speak. He looked up at the blonde girl with a half-smile.

"My name is Yang Xiying. I am a warrior who came to Gensokyo from the outside world. I have heard that the second young lady of the Scarlet Devil Mansion has extremely strong strength."

"—So I wanted to fight it and see what this power was like."

[Yang!] [Yang Xiying!] As soon as Yang Xiying finished speaking, two different voices rang out in his mind.

It was Alice and Patchouli who were now using magic to communicate with Yang Xiying in a way that was almost like telepathy.

After all, the other side had said they wanted to fight Flandre, and both of them felt that this was not a good thing.

Patchouli, on the other hand, was more worried, even though she could sense that Yang Xiying had very good skills.

But she couldn't guarantee anything without seeing it for herself; it would be bad if Fran got hurt.

Although Fran now knows a bit more about boundaries, that's only in front of her and acquaintances like Remy; she hasn't confirmed the boundaries with anyone else.

"I'll stop Flandre, there's no need to respond like that," Patchouli decided to take the initiative to quiet Flandre down.

"But this will destroy the trust you've built with the Second Miss, won't it?" Yang Xiying replied to Patchouli.

[After all, you know she won't just run out like that anymore, so the only reason she's out is because of me.]

He needs to be responsible for his words and actions.

So you want to fight?

"I want to fight," she thought. "I can't exactly explain to Flandre that those words were some kind of crazy, courtship-like behavior."

—That would be even more deadly.

Fran is very strong.

"But I won't lose," he said, having seen Flandre's strength and realized he could at least hold his own against her for a few rounds.

—And he hasn't even used his martial arts substitute talent yet.

"Oh? Big brother, do you really want to challenge Fran?" Hearing Yang Xiying say this, Frandoru showed an interested expression.

“Yes, but could the sparring session with the Second Miss be postponed for a little while?” Yang Xiying said, then changed the subject.

"—Because I need to make some preparations, and I need to be well-fed to have the strength to fight."

"Is that so...?" Flandre asked, somewhat doubtful, after hearing Yang Xiying's words.

"If you try to run away, big brother, I'll chase you to the ends of the earth!"

Everyone: "..."

It was somewhat strange that this girl ultimately said those words.

“I won’t run away, and you can keep an eye on me while I eat. Besides, you can have your sister help host the competition.”

Yang Xiying responded.

“Let your sister host the competition? That’s a great idea!” Flandre immediately beamed with joy when she heard Yang Xiying mention her sister.

"In that case, I'll go eat with you all."

And just like that, one more person joined the Scarlet Devil Mansion's dining hall...

"You want to spar with Fran?"

Remilia then heard about Yang Xiying and Flandre's duel at the Grand Library, and her expression immediately turned strange.

"No, I disagree. The two of you are not allowed to fight."

Then she spoke decisively, which surprised everyone, because Remilia's attitude was very firm.

"Why wouldn't you agree?! Big sister! How can you not fight back when someone comes to challenge you!"

Flandre became agitated and slammed her hand on the table to protest Remilia's decision, while Remilia fell silent for a moment.

"..."

Because at this point she really didn't know what to say, since Yang Xiying had chosen to challenge Fran in order to take responsibility for her words and actions.

Therefore, she understood that if Yang Xiying were to actually explain her true intention of wanting to be played with, that would be truly disastrous.
