"So, that's why you're here?"

Remilia sat leisurely on the sofa, holding a delicate white porcelain cup with gold trim in one hand, sniffing the aroma of black tea, but she was not in a hurry to move her mouth. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In front of her was a mahogany coffee table with a tea set and a scented candle, and across from it sat her guest, the human lady who had come from afar. Her maid stood at the table, bowing her head and saying nothing.

There were no windows in the room, and the candle flame flickering slightly with the human's breathing was the only source of light. Even during the day, the light in the Red Devil Pavilion is maintained at "just right" by the attentive head maid – taking care of the guests' feelings while maximizing the comfort of the host.

"I'm not here by myself, exactly," Melly said, putting her hand on her thigh, looking a little reserved, "I was sent here." “

"It doesn't matter," Remilia said with a sip of black tea and a smile, "Whatever you got here, it's not the point. The point is, you've come here, you've come to this Gensokyo. “

"In that case, you should forget all your worries and enjoy your life here. There is no second place like this in the world!"

"But......," Melly stopped.

Her hesitation and worry were all written on her face, and Remilia could see it clearly. The darkness made it difficult for her to hide her true emotions and say "no" to vampires.

"Even if you catch up and catch up, what can you do?" Remilia's smiling face looked a little hideous in the flickering candlelight, "This is a battle between monsters, what can you do with your two thin arms and legs?"

"But...... I ......"

Melly took a deep breath, and the mysterious aroma of the candle burned poured into her lungs, melted into her bloodstream, and then went from the veins to her brain. Under the effect of the aroma, Melly gradually calmed down, and the entangled thoughts were unraveling one by one.

"You have a point...... "Melly," said Melly, "as long as I don't make trouble, it will be the greatest help to him." “

"That's it!" Remilia picked up the teacup, drank the warm black tea, and then pointed to the bottom of the white cup, and instructed the maid beside her: "Sakiya, pour it full, and by the way, help Melly change a cup, her cup has been cold." “

"Okay. “

"Thank you. Melly nodded to the maid who had been standing at the table, then looked back at Remilia, and said, "Then, Remi...... Miss Scarlett, when will I see him?"

"Just call me Remilia, as for this question......"

"When it's all over, you'll see him and everyone else, and until then, you'll need to be patient. You know, little girl, the real war has just begun. “

Hearing this, Melly lowered her head. Remilia didn't speak anymore, just quietly drank her tea, and looked at the girl in front of her through the steam rising from the cup, thoughtfully.

"Mr. Nalan, can you win。。。。。。 “

Melly's whisper broke the brief silence. This sentence is both like talking to oneself and as if seeking affirmation.

"As far as I know, he has no reason to lose. Remilia leaned back from the couch with her teacup in her hand, "What the bunch couldn't do five hundred years ago is even more impossible to do now. “

"Really......"

"There's no doubt about it, right! How many years have I known him? How many days have you known him? You don't have any idea what kind of monster that guy is. “

"All in all," Remilia said without giving Melly a chance to refute, "your priority now is to drink the tea before it cools down completely, or my maid will be sad!"

"I'm sorry!"

After Remilia's reminder, Melly noticed the teacup on the table, and quickly took a big sip.

"It's hot!"

After taking this sip of hot tea, not only did he not taste the taste, but his tongue was burned. Melly frowned and stuck out her tongue, looking incredibly comical.

"Hahaha! that's not how tea is drunk!" Remilia laughed loudly with a gloating look.

"I'm sorry......"

"Don't apologize for such a trivial matter! Then again, how can afternoon tea only be tea?" Remilia put the teacup back on the plate, turned to Sakiya and ordered, "Sakiya, bring me something sweet, cakes, puffs, etc." “

"Okay, Miss, let's do it. “

Sakiya nodded, turned and walked out.

After Saki's figure disappeared, Remilia suddenly thought of something, and shouted at the door:

"Don't forget to prepare one for Melly, too!"

"I don't need to, thank you. “

"Okay, you're welcome, the cake in my Red Devil Pavilion is the first in Gensokyo, and you can't eat it anywhere else!"

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. “

"Ah, by the way, in return for inviting you to Gensokyo No. 1 cake, tell me a little bit about the outside world!"

"Yes, but what kind of story do you want to tell?"

"Something exciting, preferably with a little horror element!"

(b)

After Nalan Twilight was thrown into the Enchanted Forest by Yakumo Purple with a spatial crack, it happened that two little girls were rescued by Zi's arrangement.

One of the two little girls had a double ponytail and an apron over her clothes, and the other was wearing a high-end kimono and looked very well-bred. Neither of them was the type to protect themselves under the hands of youkai, and Nalan Twilight didn't know what the purpose of this weak combination was running into the dangerous Enchanted Forest, and he didn't have the time to care about it.

Because he has more important things to do now.

"Really...... Do you really want to take this thing on the road, Mr. Nalan?" The little girl with two ponytails standing in front, Honju Xiaoling, pointed to the things in Nalan Twilight's hand and said tremblingly.

"Well, what's wrong?" Nalan Hao looked at the human head he was carrying in his left hand, then at the headless corpse he was carrying in his right hand, and finally at the girl in front of him, tilting his neck and asking.

"There are a lot of things that are wrong, right...... It's ...... in all respects," Xiao Ling wiped a cold sweat and whispered.

The vampire in front of him, and the corpse in his hand, were the main reasons why Suzu wanted to scream and flee from this place with her head in her hands. It's a pity that the people who traveled with her apparently thought differently.

"Well......" The purple sister standing behind her nodded, muttering to herself, "Indeed, if you want to understand the enemy, this is the best chance." “

"Oh, little girl, young but very calm!" Nalan said with a smile, "I thought you would pee your pants as scared as this ponytail!"

"Who...... Who's peeing their pants!" Suzu yelled with a red face.

"What's the matter with that puddle of water on the ground?"

"That's rain, rain!"

"Oh, it's rain, sorry!"

"Also, I'm not a double ponytail, I have a name!"

"I guess your name is, Magical Girl, Little Pink Ponytail, Magic, right?"

"Magic ...... Magical Girl ...... What kind of mess is this? Listen, my name is Motoju Kosuzu!"

"Oh, it's Motoi-chan, I'm sorry!"

"Don't apologize with a bad face!"

Xiao Ling couldn't bear it anymore, so she raised her fist and walked up. She doesn't care if the other party is a vampire or something now, and only a punch can relieve the hatred in her heart.

"Look, head!"

Before Xiao Ling could swing her fist, Nalan Yu raised her left hand and placed the bloody head in front of her. Xiao Ling stood in place for two or three seconds, and after she saw clearly what the thing that was almost on her face was, she was immediately so frightened that her face was bloodless, and she ran behind her sister's head like the wind, and stuck to her back tremblingly, unable to say a word.

"Thank you very much for saving us!," my sister said with a frown, "Can you stop bullying Suzu, Mr. Nalan?"

"Ah, I'm sorry!" Nalan scratched the back of her head and smiled a little embarrassedly, "What a funny little girl, I started teasing her when I didn't pay attention, hehe......"

"Then again," Nalan said with a puzzled look on her face, "Do I know you?"

"No, Mr. Naran, this is our first meeting. I'm Aqiu in the barnyard field, and I'm here to find you. “

"Oh, it's the first time we've met! I can't imagine that my name has already spread to human society, do you need me to sign your name?

"No, please don't come and tease me, thank you!"

"Haha, sorry sorry, you're so cute, you want to bully you if you don't pay attention. “

"Lovely...... What ......" Ah Qiu's cheeks reddened slightly, but they quickly returned to their original state, "Anyway, Mr. Nalan......"

"There's a question," Nalan Yu interrupted Ah Qiu's words, changing his previous frivolous image and saying with a straight face, "I heard that there is a bamboo forest in Gensokyo where a very powerful doctor lives, is it true?"

"Yes. Ah Qiu nodded, "That's the Eight Meaning Doctor, and he lives in the Eternal Pavilion in the Lost Bamboo Forest." “

"What are the medical conditions there, and do you have all the equipment you need there?"

"Equipment, do you mean props?" Ah Qiu replied after a moment's thought, "If so, yes! There are many strange props that are not even in Gensokyo, and not even in the outside world. Because of this, many incurable diseases that cannot be cured elsewhere can only be cured forever. “

"That's right, that's good......"

"That, Mr. Nalan, the ...... you just asked"

"Ah, I'm going to the Eternal Pavilion, can I take you along the way?"

"Eh, I'm fine...... Ah Qiu said, looking back at Xiao Ling, who was squatting behind her and shivering, "It's just that Xiao Ling's state is a little ......."

"I ...... I didn't do any harm...... I'm scared ......" Xiao Ling poked her head out and said tremblingly, "I'm afraid of something, it's completely ...... Not at all!"

"You see, she herself said so. Nalan Yu pointed to the little head sticking out from behind Ah Qiu's shoulder and said.

"Is it really okay...... "Ah Qiu smiled wryly.

"It's okay!" Nalan said with a smile, "The monster is coming with me covered, and if you have a heart attack, you just happened to be sent to the doctor on the way, what can be the problem?"

"So, let's go?"

"Let's go, I'll leave it to you to lead the way, Ah Qiu!"

"I'll do my best......"
