Shoujo Grand Summoning Chapter 1713: You want to be my husband without showing me the bling?

On the top of a mountain is a certain location.

The Youkai Mountain.

This mountain is filled with ancient Youkais and Gods.

The social sphere here was formed by an alliance of gods and youkais. They would also work together to fend off foreigners and extra-races.

Down by the mountain is a lake shrouded by fog throughout the year.

The Lake of Fog.

It is the watering hole for youkais and fairies. However, this lake only appears in the daytime.

It isn't easy to see as the fog made visibility drop to almost 0. However, the lake itself isn't that big, it would take about 1 hour to walk the entire perimeter.

The Red Devil Mansion is near this lake.

It is a manor that was so big it was more accurate to call it a castle.

Because it was teleported here from the external world, it looked like it was just dumped near the lake with the surroundings being different compared to the surroundings within the manor.

One could see tall walls fencing off the manor from the outside world. It had vines and plants growing all over the tall walls. Near the main gate is a grated gate that leads into a wide courtyard.

The manor's main entrance was at the end of the courtyard.

There are not a lot of windows here, possibly because the owners were vampires who disliked sunlight.

At the top of the structure is a clock tower that had an air of splendor around it.

However, the main wooden door to the mansion was blown into smithereens with the mansion being eerily quiet.

Space rippled.

Then, 3 figures fell here.

"Woah!"

Reimu and Marisa only felt their visions blurred before they landed in the courtyard from the wooden porch of Hakurei Shrine.

"Wait... This is..."

Marisa gasped.

"The Red Devil Mansion?"

"You."

Reimu gasped too.

"You have abilities similar to Yukari?"

"No, you're wrong."

Wu Yan rolled his eyes.

"Yukari's Gap can do this but I used magic to come here."

"Magic?"

"Yes, magic."

Wu Yan affirmed.

"Spatial magic to bring us from one point to another point."

"That's convenient."

Reimu said.

"Flying here from Red Devil Manor would require at least a dozen minute. If you could come here instantly then that would save a lot of hassle, especially on outings."

Spatial magic is just a faster form of transport for her.

How lazy are you?

"She has a point."

Marisa is also admiring this magic.

"I could borrow books without getting caught by Patchouli with this magic."

Using magic to steal books?

Sheesh, this mage of unimaginative origins.

Also, you're a petty thief.

Wu Yan stopped his inner thoughts from being vocalized. He saw the broken wooden door and his face turned dark.

"Was I too late?"

"How did the mansion end up like this?"

Marisa felt something off too.

"Where is the sleeping guard? Where are all the people?"

Reimu looked at Wu Yan with a stern look. She knew something was odd.

"You know something, don't you?"

Wu Yan's initial panic and his look upon seeing the mansion suggested that he predicted this outcome.

At least, he knows why it is like this.

"Did Remilia trigger some anomalous event?"

Marisa grabbed her hat while basically giddy with sheer excitement.

"Reimu, it's our chance to shine!"

Reimu ignored her.

"Spill the beans, what happened?"

Wu Yan entered the mansion without replying.

"Hey, wait."

Marisa followed suit.

"Even if he is your husband, I won't let him solve this case."

"He's not my husband!"

Reimu roared at her.

"Marisa, stop spouting BS before I exorcise you!"

"I mean."

Wu Yan agreed with her.

"I would be dead broke if I married this lazy excuse of a miko."

"Broke?"

Marisa flinched.

"Broke!"

Reimu's eyes shone.

"How much money do you have?"

"I don't know, never counted."

Wu Yan said nonchalantly.

"I probably have more money than those in circulation in Gensokyo?"

"Kay."

Reimu declared.

"I will do you the honor of being your wife until I spend all your money."

Wu Yan almost tripped.

"Your values and modesty are limited to my wealth?"

"Isn't that natural?"

Reimu continued.

"I am not going to take a broke-ass guy as my husband."

"..."

Wu Yan chose silence as the better choice.

He peered into the interior.

It is a grand hall with a red and lush carpet.

There are tunnels and hallways almost everywhere. The lighting here is also very good with chandeliers like stars in the sky.

Near the main staircase is a large round table with tea and snacks on it.

However, there is a large pool of water near the living room.

"Hey.'

Marisa yelled into the hall.

"Anybody here? Marisa is here to play!"

Nobody answered her but her echoes.

"Nobody?"

Reimu tilted her head.

"Wait, did they all go out?"

Wu Yan looked at the water puddles and he had an idea.

"There is mana residue here."

"Mana residue?"

Marisa blinked in shock.

"Did someone battle here?"

"No, it was just a minor spell, I don't think it is a big fight."

"I only detect a little mana trace."

"Okay, what's going on then?"

Reimu sighed.

"Why is your appearance in tandem with so many problems for me?"

"I am so sorry for troubling you, miss-I-can't-be-assed-to-do-anything."

Wu Yan rolled his eyes.

Then, a voice of glee called out to him.

"Onii-chan!"
