After settling Marisa, who came back with him, and dodging the pursuit of Remy and Yuyuko, and the passionate Wenwen, Chen An came to the basement. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because, according to Sakiya, Fran is hiding here and crying alone.

Pushing open the broken door, Chen An stepped into the darkness, walked lightly, and came to the big bed in the room, and saw Fran curled up with her small body, quietly wiping her tears.

As Fran's kitten-like curled body quivered, a subtle whimper echoed through the room.

"Woo ......"

Chen An was silent for a moment, then sat on the edge of the bed and hugged Fran into his arms, and he gently touched her hair.

"Fran, why is you crying here alone?"

"Big Brother ......"

Fran buried her face in Chen An's arms, not daring to look at him, she choked.

"I'm sorry, big brother, it's Fran's disobedience that made big brother like that. I'm sorry, woo, I'm sorry. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, Fran doesn't cry, don't you think I'm good?

Have you forgotten what I said to you before? Be happy. ”

Chen An smiled, patted Fran's back gently, and comforted gently.

"And ah, I've never blamed Fran."

Fran raised her head and looked at Chen An with teary eyes.

"Really, really?"

Obviously, everyone is blaming her, even if some people don't say it, she can feel it.

Chen An...... Really don't blame her?

Chen An chuckled and gently pinched Fran's little nose.

"Of course, Fran is so cute, how can I blame you. Besides, Fran didn't mean to, I know very well. Right? ”

He gently wiped away the tears that flowed from Fran's swollen eyes with his thumb, and said softly.

"So don't cry, it's going to be uncute, and besides, I'm going to feel bad."

The white light, the redness of the eyes disappeared.

"Wow! Big brother, big brother! ”

I'll be distressed, this sentence broke Fran's heart defense in an instant. She hugged Chen An and cried loudly.

"Fran is so afraid, so afraid that the big brother will ignore Fran, woo...... Fran is so scared......"

"No, no, don't worry."

Chen An gently patted Fran's back, gently pressed his chin on her head, and said softly.

"Shall I sing to you?"

Fran didn't look up, but responded loudly in a nasal and crying voice.

"Hmm!"

"Let's get started."

Chen An hugged Fran slightly, and the gentle melody began to echo in the dark basement.

"Hum hum ......"

"Big brother, Fran likes you the most."

I let go of my worries, and tiredness came up unconsciously. Fran curled up in Chen An's arms like a kitten, listened to the song, and fell asleep quietly.

Rubbing Fran's hair, Chen An smiled, and wanted to put her on the bed so that she could sleep more comfortably.

In the end, she failed, because Fran hugged her too hard, he couldn't pull her hand away, and if he tried hard for fear of waking her, he could only smile bitterly and shake his head, so he hugged her and let her rest.

He didn't stop singing, but his voice became softer.

Outside the door.

Sakiya leaned against the wall, listening intently to the melody of the basement, which grew louder and louder because of Fran's disappearing cry.

She smiled unconsciously.

Great, that's ...... That's great.

……

In her slumber, Fran seemed to see her past.

……

The carefree laughter of childhood, which had been forgotten, seemed to be recalled.

Under the soft sun, she indulged in running in the field with her sister in the wind.

Although she is small, she always runs fast and always shows off mischievously with her sister.

"Sister, sister, you can't run as fast as Fran."

I remember that at that time, my sister always praised her with a smile on her face.

"Oops, Fran is amazing."

……

The good days were not long, and sudden bad luck struck.

Death, death, death.

The relentless fire spread out of nowhere, engulfing the entire village.

Kill the witches and vampires here, and those who have an affair with them, and kill them!

The armored ones proclaimed in the flames, and then ruthlessly slaughtered almost everyone.

Blood and fire have reflected the world.

……

By chance, she and her sister turned into vampires and managed to escape.

The time for her and her sister was frozen, and the two were reborn from the flames, relying on each other for their lives, embarking on an escape that ended nowhere.

They wander in despair, brushing shoulders with death again and again.

She never grew up, but her sister, who protected her, is changing day by day.

My sister has become useless from timidity, weak to strong, immature to cold.

Baptized in blood, grew up in death, and finally became the bright red moon that was praised and worshipped.

But what has always remained the same is the relationship between the two.

Depend on each other, live and die together!

……

When did that change?

I don't know, it's just that as time goes by, her memory is blank more and more.

Can't understand why, but the distance from my sister seems to be starting to get distant.

"Sister."

"I'm sorry, Miss Fran, but she's not there, master."

"Sister."

"You're late, the master has just gone out with Master Pache and Mistress Pache .

"Sister."

"It's a pity......"

My sister is not there, my sister is not there, my sister is always gone.

I don't know how long that day passed, and my sister suddenly gave her a gift.

Adorn her wings that had broken down to save her sister.

Colorful crystals, very beautiful.

But, sister. Why aren't you there?

……

Finally, one day, everyone in the Red Devil Pavilion is gone, except for Sakiya, her sister, and Patty.

Then she left the place where she had lived for a long time and went to a new home with her sister, a world called Gensokyo.

……

After her memory went blank again, she was locked in the basement by her sister.

Time passed, time passed.

How long have those days passed?

A year? Decade? Twenty years? Or a hundred years?

I don't know, she doesn't know, I just know, a person...... I'm scared.

In the long time of not knowing the years, in the darkness of loneliness and loneliness.

Alone, she has always been alone.

There's no sister.,There's no Misuzu.,There's no Patsy.,There's no little devil.,There's only Sakuya twice a day.,And the sakiya who will disappear soon.,Others.,Nothing.。

For a long time, she was accompanied by nothing but loneliness and darkness.

What is happy?

She didn't seem to remember clearly, but what was the happiness?

Is it laughing to be happy?

Hmm, it seems so.

A lonely person holding a rag doll, talking to himself and laughing at a childish game.

Excuse me, is that fun?

A lonely man counted the countless rag dolls in the room, laughing as he moved them from here to there one by one.

Excuse me, is that fun?

A person curled up on the bed, looking at the indistinct ceiling pattern, smiling as he recalls the good old days with everyone.

Excuse me...... Is that fun?

Perhaps, at least that's what she thought then.

At that time, though......

"Big brother, are you here to play with Fran?"

It was only after the meeting that she remembered.

It turns out that happiness is never laughing alone, but the mutual emotion of being accompanied by someone around you.

When she is lonely, she has someone by her side.

When she is bored, play with her and mess with her.

When she cried, she realized that she was not alone.

When she was naughty, she looked at the helpless face and listened to the helpless reprimand.

When she did something wrong, she got not anger, not scolding, but still a heartfelt smile.

Even if there is nothing, as long as they are with them, there are people in their hearts.

That's happiness, that's happiness.

Big brother.

It turns out, from the past to the present.

With you and her sister by her side, Fran has always been very happy and happy.

……

After some time, Fran woke up in a daze with her eyelids shaking.

She subconsciously rubbed her chest to make herself feel warm, and heard Chen An's voice.

"Are you awake?"

Fran raised her head and saw Chen An's smiling face, she blinked, and suddenly became excited. hugged Chen An's neck, and rubbed his face like a puppy.

"Wow, big brother! Big brother! Fran's favorite big brother! ”

Chen An was a little itchy by Fran, couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly stopped her movements.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and stop."

"Oh."

Fran responded, but still hugged his neck, but stopped moving.

Chen An asked with a smile.

"Not sad anymore?"

Fran nodded vigorously.

"Hmmm! Fran listened to her big brother's words and was very happy now. ”

Chen An's comfort, the previous cry, and the dream of liberation in the singing field have made Fran let go of all the negative emotions in her heart, such as: uneasiness, fear, loneliness, etc.

She squinted her big eyes and returned to her usual lively appearance, very happy.

"Fran likes big brother the most!"

Forever! Forever! Loved it forever!

"Oh, that's good."

Chen An put his mind at ease, picked up Fran, and then jumped out of bed.

"Let's get out of this dark place!"

Fran put her arms around Chen An's neck and giggled,

"Well, Fran never comes back!"

She used her hands and feet together, like a gecko, climbed up Chen An's neck, and then sat down.

Fran waved her hand and shouted happily.

"Let's go!"

"That's right, let's go~"

Chen An helped Fran's calf that landed on his chest, laughed as well, and then took a step and strode out of the basement.
