At the beginning, the little Sakuya had grown into a slim girl, and her appearance as if she had come out of her memory proved to Remilia that this was her Sakuya, but her long silver hair and scarlet pupils reminded Remilia that this is not your Sakuya.

Her long silver hair is draped at the back of her head, and her sideburns are combed into two braids, tied with a bell given by Misuzu. The scarlet pupils are derived from their own half-vampire bloodline, as well as from Sakiya's abilities.

As a half-vampire, Sakiya's physical growth will stop as an adult, and will not change until death. Unlike Sakuya, who was a human at the time, Sakuya, a half-vampire, has a natural lifespan that is close to infinity, and as long as she is not stabbed in the vital position, Sakuya can stay by Remilia's side forever.

As an adult, Sakuya is a little confused, and since she was ten years old and went to work as a maid in Scarlet's house, Sakuya can clearly feel the family's affection for her, except for Remilia-sama.

In the past ten years, Sakuya has grown from a clumsy trainee maid to the head maid of the Scarlett family, and her maid skills have been fully encouraged, and Sakuya has learned everything that a maid should know and what she shouldn't know. Despite having only one maid, Red Misuzu, Sakuya was appointed by Remilia as the head maid of the Scarlett family.

Remilia tries to reconstruct everything in the past and bring Sakuya closer and closer to the Sakuya in that memory. But this Sakiya is different from the Sakuya in memory in terms of appearance and personality, and it pierces Remilia's heart like a thorn, making her unable to let go.

The others, whether it's Red Misuzu, Flandoro, or Pache or Patchouli, are all ready to accept a new Sakuya, but Remilia doesn't want to accept her fate and doesn't want this Sakuya to replace the Sakuya in her memory.

It was with this in mind that Dio began his own plan, a plan to drive a wedge between his daughter and Remilia.

Through several years of constantly instilling in his daughter stories such as "The prince who is crazy about pursuing a foreign princess is only because the princess looks like his favorite sister", "The puppeteer made a puppet of his dead wife, but he didn't feel that this was a puppet and not a resurrected wife, so he ruined the human encounter", "The widowed count cultivated a young daughter only to be a substitute for his dead wife", etc., so that his daughter became suspicious of Remilia, thinking that Remilia only regarded herself as a substitute for that Sakiya, and did not really like herself. I don't really want to be the head maid of the Scarlett family.

The story that his father kept detailing, the account of his past life that he had gotten, and Remilia's apparently estranged look all added to Sakiya's restless suspicions. If this situation does not change, I am afraid that in a few years, Sakiya will leave the Scarlett house and no longer have any contact with Remilia.

Despite the sense of alienation from Yukisaki in various senses, Remilia still proposes to Sakuya to go to Gensokyo, preparing to take Sakuya back to the Red Devil Pavilion, back to the place where Sakuya once worked and lived.

“…… Please let me think again, Mistress Remilia. After much hesitation, Sakiya still didn't agree on the spot, she needed time to determine her thoughts.

Remilia was stunned for a moment, put down the teacup in her hand, nodded slightly, and said, "Hmm." ”

There were no words, just an "um" that said he knew. Remilia felt a sense of relief, as if it had been a very wrong decision to take Sakiya back.

Sakuya's expression darkened, and she could feel Remilia's relief, because from the time she asked the question, Remilia's body tensed, and she didn't relax until Sakuya said that she had to think about it. It seems that this is the answer that Remilia was expecting, rather than an immediate yes.

In this way, Sakuya returned to the Brando Mansion with a gloomy expression, and locked himself in his room without dinner.

Ninety percent of Sakuya's methods of dealing with things come from memory, and only the remaining one percent comes from his own experience, which is Sakuya's insistence, insisting that he is himself and not the Sakuya in his memory.

"What should I do......"

A tear trail crossed the corner of his eye, and Sakuya fell into a dream.

In the dream, Sakiya came to a lush flower field, where all kinds of flowers bloomed, from spring cherry blossoms, summer lotuses, autumn chrysanthemums, winter plum blossoms, to earthly peach blossoms, underworld flowers, heavenly immortal flowers, any kind of flowers in any world at any time appeared in this flower field without disobedience.

A little green-haired girl in the flower field is running happily, and behind her is a strange creature carrying a seed, chasing after the girl with a cry like "seed seed". The girl walked towards Sakuya, and when she passed by Sakuya, she hugged Sakuya's body in a circle, and happily picked it up from behind the strange creature.

Rubbing affectionately on the back of the strange creature, the girl looked at Sakiya and smiled brightly.

"Sister Sakiya, welcome to the flower field of my dreams."

“…… Do you know me? ”

"Sister Sakiya looks distressed? Is there anything you can do to help you? ”

"Sister's affairs, you can't help." Shaking her head, Sakuya touched Young/Xiang's head and refused Young/Xiang's help.

Breaking free of Sakiya's hand, You/Xiang said with some anger, "Maybe that's okay, Sister Sakiya." Do you know why you ended up in this dream flower field, Sister Sakiya? ”

After saying this, without waiting for Sakiya to have any answer, the body of You/Xiang turned into petals and flew away, so that Sakiya's vision was shrouded in petals for a while.

When the petals were gone, there was still a field of flowers in front of me, and there were still all kinds of flowers, just a red dry earth, and a red castle under the blood-colored red moon.

The ghost stumbles into the empty castle, and Sakuya sees a girl in a maid's uniform waiting for her in the hall.

"Are you...... Sakiya!? ”

"Yes, I'm Sakiya." The girl turned around, and her appearance was exactly the same as that of Sakiya, except that her eyes were sky blue.

"Do you want to replace me?!"

The blue-eyed Sakuya shook it and said softly: "I am you, you are me, how can I replace it." ”

"Then why are you here!? Why are you ......?" halfway through the sentence, Sakiya couldn't go on.

I saw the blue-eyed Sakiya stick to Sakuya's body, and the body became transparent little by little and merged into Sakuya's body.

"This is the last memory. Please make a choice after this, whatever your choice is, it is Sakiya's choice. ”

The blue-eyed Sakuya disappears, and the dream ends.

The next day, as is customary, Sakiya comes to Scarlet's house again and prepares black tea for Remilia once more.

Although the black tea made by Sakuya is no longer the taste in her memory, Remilia still insists that Sakuya make black tea for herself every day, which is not only necessary for Remilia's life, but also a habit of remembering the past. The ratio of black tea has been handed over to Sakuya, which is still left by Sakuya in the past because she was afraid that Remilia would not be able to drink her own black tea, but now not to mention other maids, even if it is the reincarnation of Sakuya, holding this ratio cannot restore the taste of black tea in her memory.

Picking up the teacup, Remilia took a sip.

Then Remilie came stunned, for she had tasted the taste of her memory, a taste that could not be reproduced.

Turning around in astonishment, Remilia looked at Sakiya and asked in an expectant tone:

"Sakiya?"

"I'm here, Miss." Sakiya replied with a smile.

With tears in her eyes, Remilia hugged Sakiya and cried quietly. Sakuya's name to Remilia is Remilia-sama, not the eldest lady in her memory, but now Sakuya actually calls her eldest lady, and the taste of black tea is still the taste in her memory, which makes Remilia believe that her Sakuya is back.

Holding Remilia in her arms with nostalgia, Sakiya is like a mother holding her long-returned child.

After a while, Sakuya helped Remilia up and looked at her seriously.

"Have you quieted down, Miss."

"Sakiya?"

"Miss, standing in front of you is Sakiya Brando." Sakiya smiled mischievously and said before Remilily's expression darkened, "It's also Sixteen Nightsaki, the newborn Sixteen Nightsaki." ”

Looking at Sakiya, who still had red pupils and long silver hair in front of her, Remilia found that her image had overlapped with the short-haired and blue-eyed Sakiya in her memory, and gradually merged into one.

"Welcome back, Sakiya."

“…… I'm back, Miss. ”
