Chapter 24: The Devil's House
Even if she was reluctant, due to the restrictions of the treaty, Remilia could no longer devour humans casually, and the blood provided by the monster sage every day was only enough to fill her stomach, and in the end, Remilia endured the taste of tomatoes and ate the sandwich.

"Miss, I'll take my leave first." Sixteen Night Sakuya cleaned up the plates on the table, bowed and left.
"Excuse me, be carefulβ" There was a rare look of solemnity on Remilia's face.
"Okay, that's right, Miss." When Sixteen Night Sakuya walked to the door, it was as if she remembered something.
"Miss, it seems that there is a new guest in the Red Devil Pavilion, and now she is communicating with Misuzu."
"Is it an adversary who comes to provoke you?" A dangerous glint flashed in Remilia's eyes, and the corners of her mouth showed a corner of the tiger teeth, and she sneered with interest.
"Just a poor man begging in the cold... At least, on the surface. With that, Sixteen Nights Sakuya pushed the door and left, leaving Remilia with a disappointed face.
The lobby, which resembles a medieval building, is covered with a blood-colored blanket from the open door, which is a luxurious furnishing, but full of unspeakable horror.
Yuelin blinked, like a countryman entering the city for the first time, looking around expectantly, inhaling the runny from time to time.
The reason why he was so embarrassed was because he was hung out of the door by the owner of the Red Devil Pavilion for more than an hour.
Yuelin can't help but think of the days when he lived in the Lost Bamboo Forest, but it was much more leisurely than now, a year like a blink of an eye, the change of the four seasons seems to have nothing to do with this bamboo forest far from the world, when the morning sun shines on the earth, the climate is not warm, not cool, not dry, not cold. Refreshing and bright, just the right amount of comfort.
The night covers the earth like a veil, and the slightly cold wind blows in the face, and the sound of bamboo and wood shaking with the wind is not much inferior to the cicadas in midsummer.
People always don't know the blessings, when they are still lost in the bamboo forest, they don't feel anything, after coming to live in the magic forest, they think of the life of the bamboo forest, and they will always recall the days when they were not entangled by the wet and snowy days of the rainy season, and... Picture of a young girl sitting in the courtyard and chatting.
"It's been a long time since I've been to the Eternal Pavilion, so when I survive this winter, let's go see her." Yuelin thought so in her heart.
Suddenly, the hanging candlestick lit up without warning, swaying slightly, reflected on the wall like a miniature of the devil, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.
The light reflected by the firelight seemed to be gathered at the end of the red carpet by an inexplicable force, and an incomparably gorgeous throne came into Yuelin's eyes, exquisitely carved, shining metal, the girl sitting on the throne, leaning on the armrest, sweeping Yuelin with her lazy ruby pupils, exuding a noble and majestic temperament in her gestures.
"Your Excellency the Vampire, can you stay overnight for a few months and let me survive this winter?" Yuelin knelt under Remilia's gothic loli skirt, and her desolate appearance was almost no longer kneeling on her toes.
"How could the famous demon eater fall to such a fate." Remilia seemed to enjoy Yuelin's kneeling, and a hint of pleasure flashed in her pupils.
Although the two have never met, Gensokyo is not a big area, and even if they don't hear about foreign affairs, they will more or less hear about each other.
"If you go to the source..."Yuelin's face showed a look of pain and memory.
It was a sunny morning, and Marisa came to the door as usual, and there was a fiery barrage battle every day, although the barrage war limited the strength of both sides, it did not mean that there was no destructive power, for example, Hakuri Reimu's cash box was a typical example.
In the fierce battle, Yuelin's house unfortunately became a victim of the barrage battle, and even the winter food that had been prepared for a long time was bombed into pieces by stray bullets.
In the end, Yuelin, who was homeless and had no food for the winter, embarked on a journey to find shelter, needless to say in the world, Yuelin hadn't figured out how to face Meihong yet, and was the first to be excluded.
Hakurei Shrine is a good choice, but it was rejected by Hakurei Reimu on the grounds that there was no winter food for two, after all, it was a poor witch who was barely full, and it was expected.
Marisa Misty Rain doesn't mind, just the culprit who has made Yuelin fall here, any explanation is meaningless, but looking at the messy house like a garbage heap, it really makes people unable to spend the winter with peace of mind, Yuelin borrowed it for a few days, and then set out on the journey again.
On the side of the Eternal Pavilion, as a last resort, Yuelin really didn't want to ask for Penglai Mountain Huiye, after all, the days when he came to Gensokyo added a lot of trouble to the Eternal Pavilion.
After thinking about it, Yuelin felt that the Red Devil Pavilion might be a good choice.
It turns out that this is indeed a good place to spend the winter, and the candle-lit Western-style pavilion still exudes a little warmth even when the cold snap is invading.
"Do you think the Red Devil Pavilion is a charity? This is the abode of demons! Remilia symbolically waved the black wings behind her, and a vague sense of intimidation permeated the hall.
Yuelin felt that her snot was running a lot again, and she quickly took a deep breath.
Although it looks like a young child.,But it's unexpectedly majestic.,Sure enough, a monster is a life that can't be judged by appearance.γ
"Isn't it common to make deals with demons? In return, I was willing to stay in the Red Devil Pavilion as a maid and clean. β
ββ¦ Maybe it's a good choice, those goblins can't even take care of themselves, let alone help Sakuya, such a big house, it's really not good to leave Sakuya to clean it alone. Remilia pondered for a moment, then smiled inexplicably.
With that, Remilia slowly got up from the throne, walked up to Yuelin with elegant and noble steps, and poked Yuelin's forehead with her thin fingers.
Yuelin, who was half-kneeling on the ground, was quite like a medieval knight's oath posture, but even so, he still looked down on Remilia in terms of height, so much so that Remilia had to kick up when she made this action.
"Your fate is the one I have ever met, the most strange in terms of weirdness, connecting countless intertwined places of cause and effect and evil, but bearing colorful and brilliant fruits." Remilia said something incomprehensible, Yuelin looked at Remilia in a daze, but after saying this, Remilia did not explain the meaning, but turned around without saying anything.
"From today onwards, you are the housekeeper of the Red Devil Pavilion, and the specific affairs, Sakiya will inform you. So... Wishing you an unforgettable winter at the Red Devil Pavilion. β
At the end, with a little laughter, after speaking, the girl turned into countless bats and disappeared into the lobby.
While Remilia was leaving, Sixteen Rooms came down the staircase in the corner.
"Come with me."
Speaking of which, Yuelin has a very deep impression of Sixteen Nights Sakuya, although he is a human being, he has the highest level of superpowers, and when time stops, he is willing to be a servant of the devil.
She has a chic and stern temperament, and it can be seen at a glance that she is a girl with a self-disciplined personality.
"If you don't mind, you're going to live here this winter." Sixteen Nights Saki took Yuelin to an empty room.
Although it is a servant's room, it is unexpectedly wide and tidy, and it can be seen that no one usually lives in it, and there are still people who clean it regularly, and the layout of the room has always been complete, so it can be said that even the most picky and mean people can't find any defects.
"Thank you very much, I will definitely work well." Yuelin was overjoyed, yes, literally, Yuelin's snot slid down like a waterfall.
"If you have this heart, then it is naturally the best, rest well tonight, and officially start work tomorrow." Sixteen Night Saki handed Yuelin a tissue with an expressionless face before turning around and leaving.
"By the way, there is a staircase at the end of the corridor on the right, if there is nothing wrong, it is better not to approach, otherwise, nothing will become something to do~" Before closing the door, the sound of Sixteen Nights Sakuya echoed in the house.
β¦
Having said that, why did you hang Yuelin at the door for more than an hour?
It all started an hour ago, when Remilia ran up to Pache in a hurry.
"Patchouli, you have read so many books, there must be many stories about demons, hurry up this demon script, I have my own use."
ββ¦ Is it for the majesty of boredom again? Pache seemed reluctant to turn her gaze away from the book to Remilia.
"As the king of vampires, our majesty will be like the darkness of the night, covering this land." Remilia jumped onto Pache Canvase's table, held out her chest, and raised her hands in a coquettish voice.
When Pache heard this, the helplessness in her eyes almost overflowed, and in the end, she finally took out the quill pen on the table and wrote a script about the demon on the yellowed paper.
