Gensokyo's Dimensional Black Shop

Page 51

As soon as Bai Ye stepped down the stairs, he noticed that Yakumo Yukari's expression changed.

"what happened?"

"We were careless. We didn't expect that this little bat's house, in addition to the outer layers of barriers, actually had other protective measures in the basement. The person controlling the barrier below should have already discovered us."

Sure enough, not long after, the two saw a red-haired girl with two pairs of bat wings appear at the end of the corridor.

If you listen carefully, you can even hear the girl muttering something...

"Strange, Lady Patchouli said there were intruders here, but I haven't seen anything."

After circling around several times without finding a gap, the girl muttered to herself and left in the direction she had come from.

"Keep up, keep up." Bai Ye began to remotely control the device from close range.

"Do you need to tell me?" Yakumo Yukari rolled her eyes and used the gap to follow the red-haired girl.

This time, Yukari Yakumo was noticeably more careful. Even as she followed the girl and watched her report to a girl wearing a purple robe that resembled pajamas, the two of them still didn't notice her.

"You said... you didn't find anything there?" The purple-haired girl frowned after hearing the red-haired girl's report.

"Yes, I searched that corridor you mentioned several times, but I couldn't find the intruder you were talking about."

"Honestly, I should have stopped Remi when she mentioned this plan. Sure enough, another unexpected thing happened." The girl shook her head. "But since we've already come this far, there's no point in saying anything more. Let's go and release the second young lady first. Keeping her locked up like this is really not a good thing."

"Mmm." The red-haired girl nodded, then looked curiously at the purple-haired girl: "Lady Patchouli, I've heard Sakuya-san talk about the second young lady before. Is the second young lady very fierce? Why did the eldest young lady lock her up?"

"...You'll see when you see it."

"Oh."

Then the two of them walked one after the other into the depths of the corridor, to the room that was tightly locked.

Is the second young lady, who is locked up by the eldest young lady, in great danger?

Byakuya and Yukari Yakumo exchanged a glance and nodded knowingly... They both saw the word "troublemaking" in each other's eyes.

After the girl named Patchouli pushed open the door and entered the room, Yukari Yakumo followed her in through the gap.

As you can see, there is indeed a girl in this room who looks about the same size as Remilia. However, the difference is that what unfolds behind her is not the same bat wings as Remilia's. Hanging on the wing skeleton are sky blue, blue, purple, pink, orange, yellow, light green, and the sky blue crystal that appears again.

Suddenly, Bai Ye noticed that the little girl's gaze was fixed on the location of the gap, and no matter how Yakumo Yukari changed her angle, she could not avoid her gaze.

"Fran, what's wrong?" Patchouli asked, noticing her unusual behavior.

"Patch, didn't you notice there's an extra one here..." To Yukari's astonishment, the little girl reached out and grabbed, tearing the gap apart. All she and Byakuya heard was the little girl's question, seemingly directed at no one, "A little mouse?"

"Hey, your gap has been torn apart."

“I know!” Yakumo Yukari glared at Byakuya and reopened a crack in the basement room.

Chapter 122 Your sister struck first

As soon as the gap reopened, the little girl's gaze returned immediately.

Even Bai Ye was a little curious this time.

Yukari Yakumo's gaps are quite well concealed, at least outside of the Dimensional Shop. Unless Yukari Yakumo reveals clear malice within the gaps, Byakuya might not be able to catch her. But right now, both he and Yukari Yakumo are observing from the sidelines...

"Here we go again." The little girl clapped her hands and reached into the gap.

Bo~

She ripped the gap apart again.

"Something's not right. There's something wrong with this little girl." Yukari Yakumo's expression turned serious.

"Even a blind man could see there's something wrong with her, right?" Bai Ye rolled his eyes. "The feeling she gives me is that she can directly destroy your gap, rather than just bursting it open with an attack that exceeds the limit, like the one on your right."

"Destruction...it does seem very similar..." Yukari Yakumo recalled the two times her gap had been torn apart, then thought of something else: "If it really has this kind of ability, then during the last vampire incident, that little bat should have let her out as well, since she's a decent fighting force, unless..."

"Unless she still can't control her power." Thinking of the word "closed" that Patchouli and the red-haired girl mentioned in their conversation, and the chains he had just glimpsed, Bai Ye felt that he might have discovered the truth.

If that's the case...

Byakuya and Yakumo Yukari simultaneously looked at the gap in front of Kazami Yuuka. Through that gap, they could see that Marisa and Reimu had defeated the perfectly elegant head maid through spell card battles and were now exchanging barrages of bullets with Remilia.

Suddenly, Remilia inadvertently revealed an opening while dodging the barrage of bullets. Reimu Hakurei saw an opportunity, quickly shouted, and threw out a huge Yin-Yang Orb.

"Treasure Talisman - Yin Yang Ghost God Jade!"

Bang!

Remilia's imposing aura instantly leaked out after being tapped on the head by the Yin-Yang Jade. She crouched down on the chair, clutching the spot where she had been hit, her exposed bat wings trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Bai Ye's lips twitched. She really was a dignified young lady.

"Stop, Lord of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. According to the spell card rules, you are now my defeated opponent. Why don't you quickly dispel the red mist outside?" After putting away the Yin-Yang Jewel, Reimu Hakurei tapped her palm lightly with the Gohei, using the "slap slap slap" sound to put pressure on Remilia.

"Waaah~ I won't!"

"Are you sure?" Reimu Hakurei raised an eyebrow. "Without the constraints of the spell card rules, if you get hit by a Yin-Yang Orb, I can't guarantee you'll still be alive."

“According to the spell card rules, Remi has already lost, but we haven’t lost yet, right?” A strange voice suddenly interrupted.

"Who is it again?!" Reimu Hakurei looked in the direction from which the voice came with displeasure.

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, a bookish young girl emerged from the shadows, leading a little girl about the same size as Remilia. Clearly, she was the one who had just spoken.

As soon as she came out, the little girl broke free from Patchouli's grasp and came to Remilia, who was crouching down with her head in her hands, and made a face at her: "Hehehe, you useless crybaby sister, you actually got beaten into this state by a mere shrine maiden, how embarrassing, how embarrassing, hehehe!"

"Francine, you..."

"Hehehe, you crybaby!"

"If it weren't for this spell card invented by some idiot who restricted my ability to see the trajectory of fate, how could I have been hit by a mere armpit-baring shrine maiden!" Remilia exploded instantly when her sister mocked her like this, especially in front of Patchouli.

"No matter how you explain, it's no use. You were defeated by a stupid shrine maiden!"

"..."

A shrine maiden with exposed armpits? A stupid shrine maiden?

Is it that I, Reimu Hakurei, can no longer lift my 40-meter-long sword, or have you two little bats gotten too cocky?

"You two, either fight it out, or obediently put away the red mist outside, or don't blame me for being impolite!" Reimu, feeling annoyed, interrupted the two sisters' bickering.

“In that case, then, big sister…” Fran walked up to Reimu Hakurei with a grin and grabbed her arm: “Let’s have some fun, I’ve already seen the purpose in you, so don’t let yourself get ruined!”

Eyes? What the heck?

Before Bo Liling could understand what was happening, she saw a hand suddenly emerge from a crack in the void and grab the little girl's outstretched hand.

This way of appearing... Yukari Yakumo?

No, the clothes don't look right.

"So where does such a young child get such a lot of hostility, wanting to draw blood at the slightest disagreement?" After grabbing the little girl's arm, Bai Ye simply walked out through the gap.

Yakumo Yukari followed closely behind.

Yuuka Kazami, however, remained in the Dimensional Shop and did not come out, seemingly not wanting Marisa to know that she was keeping a close eye on her whereabouts.

Upon seeing Byakuya and 440 Yakumo Yukari, Remilia was initially taken aback, then suddenly felt as if she understood everything...

No wonder I was beaten up not long ago, yet my desire to release Fran is still so strong. It turns out that you bunch of scoundrels teamed up to set a trap for Miss Remilia!

If Yukari Yakumo and Byakuya knew what this guy was thinking, I wonder if they would slap him across the face... How dare he blame his overbearing sister complex on them?

Of course, they could never know, so this big mouth is destined to remain a "lifetime event."

Just as everyone was looking at each other, wondering what they were thinking, the little girl with crystals on her wings hugged Bai Ye to everyone's surprise, squinted her eyes, and rubbed against him.

"Fran, what are you doing? QAQ"

"Hmph, that stupid older sister is so useless. She locked me in the basement for so many years and even lied to me. This big brother doesn't have any 'eyes' on him." The little girl turned around and made a face at Remilia.

Under Remilia's murderous gaze as she held the genuine Gungnir, Byakuya innocently raised his hands.

"You saw it yourself, it was your sister who started it, it has nothing to do with me."

Chapter 123 The Ultimate Demon Girl or the Ultimate Soft Girl

"Hmph!" Remilia snorted heavily, pulled the little girl away from Bai Ye, and then protectively shielded her behind him, seemingly labeling Bai Ye as some kind of goldfish-like person.

white night:"……"

I really don't have any opinion on tablets like the ones you sisters use. It would be more like a tablet posted by Yukari Yakumo or the one next to her... Ahem, let's stop this topic, thinking about it any further will be bad for our kidneys.

"Speak," Remilia said, "it's one thing for that shrine maiden to force her way into my Scarlet Devil Mansion under the pretext of resolving the incident, but what are you doing here, old hag, Yukari Yakumo?" Remilia cleared her throat as she sat back down in her chair, trying to make her voice sound more authoritative.

"Do you think you could still be playing spell card games with Reimu so comfortably here without our help?" Yukari Yakumo crossed her arms and leaned against the wall. "Don't forget that what you did this time was tantamount to provoking every being in Gensokyo."

"...So what? Anyone who can beat me definitely won't be hurt by this blood mist."

Thinking about the miserable state Remilia would be in if Yakumo Yukari's description actually came true, she shrank back, but her courage instantly returned after catching a glimpse of Byakuya out of the corner of her eye.

I can't lose to anyone but this bastard who won over my sister with just one look!

"Yes, they won't get hurt, but what if something more delicate, like flowers and plants, were shrouded in this blood mist..."

Remlia: “…”

Oh no, I forgot about that fierce woman who grows flowers QAQ

Seeing Yakumo Yukari using her name to bully a child, Kazami Yuuka in the Dimensional Shop snorted and slightly raised the corners of her mouth... She found it amusing that the little bat was clearly scared but was pretending to be strong.

Or maybe I should wait until this is over, or go to the Scarlet Devil Mansion for a couple of days?

As for the reason... just use the one Yakumo Yukari said, that the children were injured by the blood mist and came to her door demanding compensation.

Inside the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Yukari Yakumo was unaware that her casual remark had actually sparked some ideas in Yuuka Kazami. Right now, her gaze was fixed on Remilia's sister, who was peeking out from behind Remilia's chair, scrutinizing Byakuya.

"When I came last time, I think you mentioned your sister... Flandre Scarlet, right?"

"What do you want to do?" Remilia summoned Gungnir again, staring coldly at Yukari Yakumo.

This time, instead of using a spell card, Gungnir's true form was summoned directly. Clearly, if Yukari Yakumo's answer contained any malice towards Fran, then the next second, a spear with the attribute of guaranteed hit would pierce Yukari Yakumo's body.

"This is the question we should be asking you. Last time you said your sister wasn't feeling well, which is why you weren't letting her come out. If we hadn't seen her by chance today, we probably wouldn't have known she had this kind of illness."

Thinking of the two gaps in her own body that had been instantly crushed, Yukari Yakumo's gaze towards Flandre became obscure and inexplicable.

“…Patch, while the blood mist is still outside, why don’t you take Fran out for a walk? I need to discuss some things with the Sage of the Yokai.” After thinking for a while with her head down, Remilia looked at the purple-haired girl and said.

"Alright, be careful." Patchouli, having realized that Yakumo Yukari was the voyeur who had just bypassed Remilia and appeared directly in the basement, gave her a warning before walking towards Flandre behind the chair.

"..."

Seeing Patchouli extend a hand towards her, Fran dodged to the side.

"Fran, be good," Remilia whispered comfortingly.

"..."

“How about…” Bai Ye thought for a moment and reached out to the girl who seemed a little “introverted”: “I’ll take her out for a walk, and you can discuss things here.”

Seeing Flandre, who had just dodged Patchouli's hand, smile and place her hand in Byakuya's, Remilia's eyes twitched wildly.

……

Holding the little girl's hand, Bai Ye strolled around outside and asked Fran some questions about her, her sister, and the purple-haired girl with a scholarly air.

As for Sakuya, I knew about her from the occasional shopping trips she took to the store and the chats we had.

Aside from the interpersonal relationships within the Scarlet Devil Mansion and some basic information, such as the two sisters being vampires, the head maid being human, and Patchouli being a witch who also keeps an easy-to-bully little devil, what attracts Byakuya the most is probably Flandre's eyes.

According to her own account, the world is different in her eyes; everything in the world possesses a kind of "eye" in her perception, and she can gather those "eyes" in her hands and then crush them...

To make the process more vivid, when introducing her abilities, Fran even crushed the "eye" of an innocent tree by the roadside, and then the tree exploded with a bang in Bai Ye's astonished gaze.

Unlike her sister, who possesses the ability to see and manipulate fate, Fran cannot perfectly control her power. She always inadvertently "crushes" things. Therefore, both the sisters' father and Remilia, who succeeded as head of the family, chose to lock Fran in the basement, hoping she could control her power. At the very least, she should be able to avoid crushing the "eyes" of herself and her family.

This time, whether it was Yakumo Yukari who secretly manipulated things or her sister complex reached its limit, Remilia, after seeing Flandre's 4.2, completely ignored Sakuya and Patchouli's opinions and forcefully launched this incident.

"So now you two sisters are facing two problems: first, how to control your eyes, and second, how to walk in the sunlight as vampires?"

"Mmm~" Lying on Bai Ye's back, Fran nodded and then rubbed her face against Bai Ye's face.

A person whose eyes are completely invisible—this is probably the best news Fran has received about Remilia's Blood Mist Anomaly.

"Let's go, it's about time. When we get back, we need to get your sister to clear the blood mist as soon as possible, otherwise I suspect some hot-tempered people will come to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to settle scores with her later."

"Hmm~"
