The final chapter of this volume: The Scarlet Chronology

Now, there are ghosts in Gensokyo.

Oni once lived on earth, and they had a deep relationship of trust with humans. That's [Capture People] and [Ghost Retreat] - because ghosts themselves are the embodiment of fear, right? That's why it's so powerful.

However, in the following time, the human body did not change, but the heart gradually shifted...... Oni migrated to the land of ghosts, where only demons exist, and gradually became forgotten by humans.

- A large library that neither sunlight nor moonlight can erode eroded.

"Ah, Sakiya, do you want to read?"

"No, probably...... Your coffee. It is made from newly arrived beans, and it is a very valuable bean. ”

"Let's put it there for now. Are there any fried soybeans? ”

"Soybeans, that's not precious beans. …… The eldest lady was annoying, so she didn't save it. Is it to deal with that ghost? ”

"Maybe. Sakiya: Do you know the weakness of ghosts? That's not true, though. ”

“？”

"The idea of using fried soybeans to cure ghosts is naïve. Beans represent sowing, right? Sprinkling fried soybeans is like declaring your dishonesty to the ghost. Then the ghost will leave. Because the ghosts are all upright guys. ”

"Then why does the eldest lady hate it? - Ah, the eldest lady called me. I'll ask for advice later. ”

Sakiya disappeared from sight.

For some reason, it is widely spread that fried soybeans are a weakness of ghosts. Is it that humans can't see the truth?

Guys who are as strong as ghosts will have some small weaknesses. Could it be that it is deliberately exposed to hide the real weakness? So, isn't it very powerful. What a wonderful conclusion.

The owner of this pavilion also has all sorts of strange weaknesses, so it's also very strong. - The decisive difference is that when her real weakness is touched, she becomes infinitely stronger.

"Are you there? Sakiya? ”

"Ah, I'm here. Miss, your black tea. I have cooled it deliberately, and it is the temperature that you can just enjoy immediately. ”

On the moonlit terrace, crimson demons sat silently.

"Is Fran asleep?"

"Sleep, Miss. - After the feast, please rest well. ”

"Is that so. Saki Night...... Our day has just begun. Isn't it? ”

The night is the stage for vampires.

The moonlight is the light of the vampire.

What is she going to feed on tonight?

——In front of the shrine where drunken ghosts were lying on the ground.

"Reimu. Reimu? You're going to catch a cold if you're lying here, huh? ”

Yuning carefully poked Reimu's cheek. Now, everyone has gone back to their respective homes, leaving her alone here.

Staring at Reimu's sleeping face, Youning put on a posture as if she was doing her best.

"Click"

The grass, which was more than a finger high, broke in unison. Other than that, nothing happened.

Youning wiped away the cold sweat that slid down the side of his face with the back of his hand, and sighed deeply and long.

"It can't be helped. I admit it. ”

An expression of death as if it were home.

Ah, that's ...... Princess hug. That's where the saying comes from, right?

Yuning seemed troubled.

Because, on the cheeks, it was hot.

- "Whew...... Pain hurts...... Yuyuko-sama? ”

Youmu's forehead slammed into Yuyuko's shoulder.

"Oops, Yume. Don't move on my back. ”

There are fragments of memory, tracing the source of time and sinking into the vague consciousness of the demon dream.

Drink. Drunken Dance. And then...... Carried by Yuyuko, embark on the return journey.

It's strange to say. It's obviously an undead, but Youmeng is here, and I feel it clearly, through the warmth of my clothes-Lord Yuyuko, so gentle, so gentle. Youmeng thought so.

“…… Yuyuko-sama. What about my half-spirits? ”

Here comes a very real problem.

Yuyuko groaned in surprise.

"I think I forgot this at the shrine. I'm sorry, oh little demon dream. ”

After saying this, one of the undead smacked his lips as if unintentionally.

Youmeng's face darkened. Because, judging by the touch coming from the half-spirit, it seems to be being ground by something fleshy. The situation speaks for itself......

"Huh. Over here. ”

Then, Yuyuko pulled a frantically struggling mochi out of her collar. Hand it back to Youmeng, with an innocent face.

However, Yumeng's face was even more ugly. - seemed to think of something, carefully examined his chest, and found nothing.

"Now, Youmeng."

Yuyuko's palm lightly covered the top of Youmeng's head.

"Today, it's a full moon."

Youmeng noticed it, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes.

It seems like...... The strength of the wine hasn't passed yet.

The next banquet will be held in three days, and the interval will be even longer after that.

Do you want...... Drink a little more, too?

- "Sakiya. Did you see the moonlight? ”

"This black tea is made for the full moon. Miss. ”‘

What a careful, troublesome maid.

"It's for the full moon, is there anything different from the usual?"

"It's different. To be called the style of the full moon. ”

The so-called tea is something that is extracted from plants and trees, like the blood of plants. This is even more true for black tea. Therefore, it is a favorite drink of vampires.

"Style. Let's talk about it. By the way, you also need to have a posture that suits this. As a noble maid, you can't help but pay attention to style. ”

Aristocracy is such a troublesome thing. Just as troublesome as a maid. Sakiya seemed slightly confused, and then replied lightly.

"The most important elements of black tea are quality, taste, and style. In terms of quality, as long as you choose excellent tea. Taste comes from things like the origin of the day after tomorrow and the atmosphere. It's not just tea, it's about the tea utensils, the time of drinking, the atmosphere, and so on...... And style is something that can't just come out of tea leaves and tea utensils. I am, adding something to the black tea that was originally very stylish. ”

"You're mistaken, Sakiya."

“？”

Sakiya looks at Remy's back.

"Do you know why I told the shrine maiden at the time that the opportunity is so rare?"

"Is there such a thing? Speaking of which, the reason why the eldest lady didn't engage in spell card battles with that ghost was ......"

"A danmaku game is only in style if you use a shrine maiden as an antagonist. Why don't you talk about the battle with the ghost spell card...... It's because I'm not going to fight that ghost like this at all. ”

Really, frank willfulness, and self-confidence.

"Demons are indeed powerful. However, that kind of blood has nothing to do with the style of the nobility. Do you understand? Sakiya? ”

"So, is the style of this black tea elegant from the beginning? I understand. Miss. ”

Sakiya walked up to Remy's side step by step.

Here's what Remy meant.

If the black tea is tasted by the elegant yourself, you don't need to worry too much.

Therefore, the posture that best matches this style is the posture of being with the eldest lady. Isn't it?

- Remy decided not to leave the Red Devil Pavilion for the time being.

From the red line of fate, I vaguely saw something unpleasant.

Is it because of that ghost? Or something else.

Speaking of which, where is the real weakness of the ghost? The one that is about to come will also have a weakness that will collapse at the touch of a button.

It's like ...... Everything about this Red Devil Pavilion is for yourself.

PS: Finally! The final chapter of the third volume is complete! It's finally time to break into the fourth volume of the decryption! Youning's true identity! The essence of ability! What is the meaning of everything you have done since you came to Gensokyo! Purple dkhrdj etc. attitude! …… However, the summer vacation schedule is crowded, and OTZ must not abandon QaQ if this is the last update in the summer vacation

The reason for choosing the Red Devil Pavilion for this section is because there are almost no scenes of Remy and others in the fourth volume. Sakiya will only make a little soy sauce. Let's make up for it here~~
