Chapter 34: Miss Suspect

"Does Alice remember the bat at the corner of the alley?" Patchy asked. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Oh, of course, I remember, it's very vivid in the story."

"I'm also impressed by the uncommon bats, so I specifically pointed them out," Ms. Aozaki said, "but after all, it was just an accident, right?" I think it's normal to have a few strange animals in a weird story, although this time it's a real situation, not an artistic exaggeration......"

"Remi's interest in legends is more self-willed," Patchy said, "and she's practiced a ...... Technique, there should be no spells, and she has invested a lot of time in this technique. ā€

"What technology?"

"Manipulate the bat."

"Won't she be able to turn into a swarm of bats herself?"

"It's just a spell that changes the power of mana, but sometimes it is combined with a little action to summon a real bat to achieve a more realistic effect," she didn't hesitate to sell her best friend's little secret, "The mutated wings of vampires are just a bit similar to bats, so they are attached to folk tales and have all kinds of ambiguous involvement with bats, and Remi made a lot of effort to study bats in order to get the mystery and horror of the vampires described in those stories, and then she did practice a skill of controlling bats." ā€

"......" I once again deeply realized the willful character of Miss Vampire, "The control of bats can be understood literally, and Patchy means that the bats hanging from the wires may have something to do with Miss?" ā€

"Just give me a guess," she squinted, as if to observe Miss Aosaki's reaction, and Miss Aosaki had maintained a stiff expression of "I don't understand it, but it's amazing" for a while, "Of course, it's a normal possibility that it has nothing to do with Remi at all." ā€

"So, that, Miss Patchouli, what you said is what Miss Sixteen Nights said, the owner of the Red Devil Pavilion?"

"Miss Remilia Scarlett, the owner of the Red Devil Pavilion, is actually a Lori who is not yet elegant and noble Miss rank, and is currently missing with her sister Flandrew Scarlet," I told her, "If they run away to the outside world, it is expected that jokes or mysterious events will be caused by the lack of social knowledge of outsiders due to their isolation from the outside world for a hundred years, of course, we are only thinking of the two of them who ran away from home Lori from the bat, and it does not mean that the incident of Mr. Ii has something to do with them." ā€

"Bat...... Miss Sixteen Nights told me that the owner of the Red Devil Pavilion is, that is, the legendary vampire, right? ā€

"Well, to put it simply, it's a vampire, but it's not easy to say what it is, Patsy."

"This vampire may not be the same as the imaginary vampire you know from hearsay and art, Miss Aosaki," Patchy added to me, "and I won't be able to say anything else, but if you're lucky enough to see a vampire manipulating bats, it's not something you were born with, and as I said earlier, Remi knows how to manipulate bats because she thinks it's imposing and interesting, and that's why she's spent quite some time learning it." ā€

"Although this is the first time I've heard of the origin of her ability to manipulate bats, I think that with Miss Remilia's character, she can do such a thing."

I saw that the editor kept her expression of "I don't understand it but it's amazing" for a while, and then waved her hand again and again, "I still don't want to understand, it seems to be a very troublesome content, and it will infringe on other people's privacy?" That's rude. ā€

"I can't confidently say that I know enough about vampires, but you don't need to worry about violating other people's privacy, in fact, some uncommon people and things are a little strange or mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people, but after a little figurination, you will find that it is not a big deal." Patchy said.

"Just the 'no big deal' I met today is enough to remember for a lifetime......," Miss Aoizaki leaned against the table in a weak motion, "Let's continue to talk about the strange things about I-sensei, the two of you think that the bat that appeared at night may be the key clue?" ā€

"Perhaps," said Patty, "if it was Remi and Fran who were playing tricks at the time, it would be possible to send a bat to help keep an eye on the surroundings." ā€

"Tricksters, troublemakers? I—I've already had a very bad association......" Miss Aosaki's face turned pale in an instant, as if she had been covered with a layer of powder.

"Ah, when you say that, I think I have the same associations as you." I said, "Vampires run away from home, and sometimes they have to deal with their physical needs, if they don't have to." ā€

"No, no, no, I-sensei has been acting very normal since he was discharged from the hospital, not like he has been bitten by a legendary vampire." The editor, who was heartbroken for her author, hurriedly said.

"So your misunderstanding is wrong, vampires are not what you think...... the witch pondered for a while, "Even if Remi or Fran secretly collect human blood for consumption because of greed, or even if they brutally lie on other people's necks and drink blood directly, it will not simply cause the attacker to directly mutate genetically, if you want to mutate, the relevant operation procedures and auxiliary equipment are essential, Miss Aosaki does not have to worry about your manga artists." ā€

It's hard for Patchy to say a lot in one breath.

"Ah, then, that's good."

"I've stated a few times before, the occasional appearance of a bat doesn't tell the story, and there are not a few strange people in the outside world, and it's not advisable to directly attribute the strange talk to the people who went out of Gensokyo."

"What if it's something else?" I asked Patsy, "Could it be that I-sensei was attacked by some other youkai with strange spells?" ā€

"Whatever the reason, I can at least be sure that if some people really want to do evil and harm others, and do not leave such obvious flaws, it is obvious that the black hand behind the scenes has another purpose, or it is purely a coincidence, and there is no malicious intent on the surface."

"That's fine, no matter what Teacher Jing Yi has encountered, she was at least sent to the hospital and has not been significantly injured." Miss Aozaki patted her chest and sighed.

"That's right, there's such a section as sending patients to the hospital, Patsy, do you think the eldest lady who lacks common sense knows how to send patients to the hospital?"

"Don't underestimate Remi, she knows how to take care of herself and Fran better than everyone thinks, and it is not much difficulty to understand the social rules of the outside world."

"Hmph, how can I underestimate her after paying a terrible price."

"I'm sorry, Alice."

"There's no need to apologize for the wayward Miss Lori, you've said enough, and so does Miss Sakiya."

"Is that so?"

"Don't talk weirdly, I'm serious, I have no intention of caring for the eldest lady for a long time, she is just a dead sister Lori."

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

"I-should, interject?" Miss Maruko Aosaki for unknown reasons.
