Gensokyo, Red Devil Pavilion...

Sitting at the round table on the platform at the end of the stairs at the front of the hall, Patchouli wore a pair of glasses on her face and held a book in her hand, looking like a scholar who was advancing her knowledge, with an indescribable sense of tranquility.

And next to Pachuali, the little devil with a tray in his hand had been observing his master, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

Although the little devil is a demon, in the demon, her strength is not very strong, so the little devil will become the demon of Pachouli, who is a witch.

It is not impossible for ordinary demons to become the demons of witches and magicians, but if witches and magicians want to make those demons with great power become their demons, they must pay a little price.

After all, it's the devil who becomes their messenger, isn't it? …

However, the little devil is considered weak among the demons because of his strength, so even if he is a demon for others, he has no capital to ask his master to pay any price.

In between, the little devil will become Pache Teau's enchantment, completely voluntarily.

It is also because the little devil voluntarily became Pachouli's demon from the bottom of his heart, and he respected his master from the bottom of his heart, so the little devil would discover a detail that others could not detect.

Although, Patchouli seems to be reading very seriously. But now, Patchouli must not have read a word in the book in her hand.

In other words, Patchouli, who has only been staying in the underground library of the Red Devil Pavilion, will read books in the hall of the Red Devil Pavilion, which has proved that her real purpose is not to read books.

In addition, since Remilia and Sakiya left the Red Devil Pavilion and went to the Hakuri Shrine, the book in Patchouli's hand has not even turned a page, and it is obvious that Patchouli is not reading seriously at all.

Come to think of it, I must be very worried about the second miss, right? …

Thinking of this, the little devil couldn't help but turn his gaze in the direction of the entrance of the Red Devil Pavilion.

And this look. The little devil was stunned for a moment. Then he hurriedly spoke.

"Pache Lady!"

Before hearing the little devil's shout, Patchouli seemed to hear the movement at the door, raised her head, and looked at the door of the Red Devil Pavilion. And when the figures of Remilia and Sakiya who entered the door were imprinted in Patchouli's eyes. Pache felt a slight sinking in her heart.

Saw. Walking into the Red Devil Pavilion, Sakuya followed behind Remilia step by step, face. Not only is there a hint of worry, but also a sense of heaviness.

As for Remilia, her head was completely bowed, so that people couldn't see her expression clearly.

However, this is the only indication that something has happened.

At least, since Pache met Remilia, she had seen Remilia's majestic side, her childish side, her wayward side, and even Remilia's tantrum side, but she had never seen Remilia's current expression full of worries.

At that moment, Pache Richly's expression also became heavy, she stood up, and her eyes fell on the steps that followed Remilia, slowly walked up the stairs, and came to the body of Sakuya on the platform, and asked silently.

Sensing Pacully's gaze, Sakiya looked at Patchouli, the worry on her face seemed to deepen a little, and she shook her head gently at Patchouli.

What Sakiya wants to convey is not that she doesn't know, but that it's hard to say.

This made Pache feel the importance of the matter even more.

Not only did he look preoccupied when he came back, but he didn't even bring back Fran, who was going to bring him back, which is enough to show the seriousness of the matter.

"What's wrong? In the end, Pache chose to ask Remilia about it.

"What's going on? …”

Remilia did not answer Pache to answer his question, but made her way to the top of the round table on the platform, sat down, and then raised her head, revealing a helpless face that Pache had never seen before.

"Patsy—" Remilia asked, a little dazed.

"Am I doing something wrong, you say? …”

Looking at Remilia, who had never shown such a weak side, Pache seemed to be more or less aware of what was going on, and asked tentatively.

"Are you referring to my sister's business? …”

"He said I had never gotten to know Fran, and I had never given Fran happiness..."Remilia's face became more and more dazed, helpless, and finally, there was a hint of slump.

"And, let me give up Fran..."

Hearing this, Pache gradually connected the whole thing one by one, and understood the general situation of the matter.

Remilia has always felt guilty about Fran's affairs, and although she didn't think negatively that she had caused Fran to end up insane, she also felt extremely bitter about the fact that she had to lock Fran in the basement.

Therefore, Pache guessed that it was the person who took Fran away who exposed Remilia's actions to Fran and even the guilt itself.

Otherwise, it was hard for Pache to imagine that Remilia would show such a weak side in matters other than Fran's sister, who cared about her most.

You know, at the beginning, when she was defeated in the battle to conquer Gensokyo, and did not realize her dream of unifying Gensokyo and becoming the king of Gensokyo, Remilia did not show such a weak side.

"I don't know what that man said to you...", after thinking about the words in her mind, Patchouli said indifferently.

"But, Remy, no matter what you do, your concern for Fran is something that no one else can deny, and I'm sure of that!"

Hearing this, Remilia's face did not improve much, and she even smiled bitterly.

"The man also said that he didn't deny my concern for Fran, but he felt that I couldn't give Fran happiness..."

"Did that person say that? Patchouli frowned, as if surprised that she could say such a thing, and her pretty face tensed.

"That's the way it is, it's okay before, my sister is in that state of mental instability, and now it's different!"

"Different? Remilia's spirits were shocked, as if grasping at a life-saving straw, she stood up directly from the chair, pressed her hand on the table, and leaned out towards Pacouli.

"What's the difference? …”

"I think you're careless, Remy—" Patchouli shook her head with a smirk.

"In the past, my sister was in that state, and you couldn't give your sister happiness, so there was no way, but now, my sister seems to have returned to normal, right? …”

Remilia was stunned for a moment, and then a pair of scarlet eyes lit up.

That's right!

There was no way to give Fran happiness before, it doesn't mean that there will be no way to give Fran happiness in the future, does it? …

Fran is now back to normal, so there is no need to worry about Fran getting out of control, and you don't have to worry about Fran getting out of control, and you can live with Fran unscrupulously.

So, wouldn't you just give Fran the happiness that you couldn't give to Fran before, and give it to Fran in the future? …

Remilia's heart, which had been immersed in the guilt of Fran, suddenly brightened, and the haze that had been shrouded in her heart was also swept away.

"Whew...", let out a long breath, and Remilia's pretty face returned to her previous self-confidence, pride, and complacency, and her voice took on a compulsion.

"Thank you, Patsy..."

"Pache Lady—" Sakiya seemed pleased that Remilia had recovered her original form, and looked at Pache with gratitude.

"Looks like you're all right," Patchouli asked, too, relieved.

"So, what about my sister? …”

"At the shrine!" At this, Remilia's tone became displeased.

"Now, you should stay with that guy, right? …”

"What? Patchouli said with some surprise.

"Didn't you get your sister back from him? …”

"Nope!" Remilia replied sullenly.

"And, in that situation, if I really did it, I would no longer have a say in Fran's affairs..."

Patchouli suddenly showed a puzzled look, turned her head, and looked at Sakuya.

"That..."Sakiya smiled helplessly.

"The other party said that he would take the second miss to the Red Devil Pavilion tomorrow, and then decide whether to return the second miss or not..."

"That's right," Patchouli nodded knowingly.

"Understood, I'll be here tomorrow!"

Sakiya breathed a sigh of relief.

With the knowledgeable Pache here, she will have the confidence to negotiate with the other party tomorrow.

After all, Sakiya has personally learned it, and the other party is good at Cheng dù... (To be continued......)
