Shoujo Grand Summoning Chapter 1716: Problem? Too late?
Gensokyo, Hakurei Shrine.
The sudden departure of Wu Yan & co left the shrine door open in such a state that any petty thief would be able to gain easy entry.
There are thieves here. The black and white witch from before, a certain rat-lady whos inclinations are still ambiguous, those are just examples of petty thieves.
However, Hakurei Shrine is a bad place to try one’s thief skills. That is because the offerings here are few to none and there is a strong guardian here. Even a petty thief wouldn’t waste her time here.
Except for Marisa, of course.
A cold gust entered the Shrine through the ajar door.
Vrmmm
In a flash, 1 guy and 2 ladies appeared out of a portal.
The haggard lady in red fell on the floor with her butt cushioning the impact for her.
“You… Jerk…”
Reimu glared daggers into Wu Yan.
“You broke my offerings box, made me burn my tongue, drenched me in water, and caused a misunderstanding between Marisa and I. You then proceeded to force me into showing you the Red Devil Mansion and made me clean up your mess. Now, you threw me to the floor in my own shrine? You’re picking a fight, eh?”
“That’s a misunderstanding.”
Wu Yan raised his eyebrows with Flan in his arms.
“The offerings box was an accident, you were dowsed in water because you overreacted to the burned tongue. Marisa did the mental homework herself when she saw us. I took you to Red Devil Mansion before Flandre flipped out and caused further chaos. Oh, I didn’t mean for you to fall when you returned.”
“Huh?! You claim innocence?!”
Reimu wanted to smack this walking ill omen into oblivion.
“Wait, how did you know Remilia and Flandre would flip out?”
“Well, it’s like this.”
Wu Yan explained to Reimu while rubbing Flan’s messy hair.
“Remilia is a massive siscon, when I was being chummy with Flandre, I knew she would go berserk.”
“Siscon?”
Flan asked.
“What’s Siscon?”
“It’s a terrifying yet respectable lifeform.”
Wu Yan taught her.
“Those who really really love their sisters are siscons.”
“Nee-san likes me?”
Flandre puffed her cheeks.
“Then, she’s not a siscon.”
Wu Yan asked amused.
“Why not?”
“Because Nee-chan doesn’t care about Flan.”
“Silly girl…”
Wu Yan shook his head.
“How would you know? Your sister probably kept her feelings well hidden.”
“She wouldn’t lock me in the basement if she loved me!”
Flan protested.
“She hates me for sure!”
“Don’t say it like that.”
Wu Yan pinched her cheeks.
“They say love and hate are just two sides of the same coin. She probably locked you up because she was afraid you might be hurt if you keep ‘playing’ with other humans.”
“Is it?”
Flan was doubting herself.
“Would Onii-chan lock Flan up in the basement because he loves me?”
“If I did, I would lock myself in with you.”
Wu Yan beamed at her.
“Would you still be afraid?”
“With Onii-chan… Hmm…”
Flan smiled.
“Flan won’t be afraid if that’s the case!”
Wu Yan is also happy to see that Flan is cheerful again. Reimu gasped when she saw Flan’s reaction.
“I didn’t think you would defend Remilia after her provocations.”
“I am not defending her.”
Wu Yan shrugged.
“Just stating facts.”
“I don’t care, just don’t give me more trouble.”
Reimu is annoyed.
“An entire day wasted because of you. I lost 2 years of energy through a single day’s labor.”
“I am not sure if you’re joking or not.”
Wu Yan’s lips twitched.
“You sound like you don’t move much.”
“None of your business.”
Reimu scoffed.
“Is she going to be okay now that you brought Flan out?”
Reimu knows about Flan’s mind.
She doesn’t want to clean up the mess of Flandre’s rampage.
“Relax.”
Seeing as Flandre was yawning, Wu Yan patted her back while holding her in a soft cradle.
“Flan’s hatred was resolved, she won’t be an issue for you all anymore.”
“Really?”
Reimu glared at him.
“Why did you tell Remilia to come fetch her here? You trying to start something at my shrine?”
“Yeah, I need to spend some time with Flandre to calm her down more.”
Wu Yan bitterly laughed.
“For now, she stays with me. When she is better, I will return her to the Red Devil Mansion.”
“This is your first day here, don’t create more problems for me.”
Reimu warned him again.
“Marisa is already trouble enough, I don’t need one more.”
“Hey, don’t be so cold.”
Wu Yan chuckled.
“After all, we are going to spend so much time together.”
Reimu’s eyelids twitched.
“Wh-what do you mean?”
“Exactly what it means.”
Wu Yan explained.
“I want to stay here.”
“Stay?”
Reimu gasped in disbelief.
“No way.”
“Yes way.”
Wu Yan nodded.
“I want to stay here.”
“No!”
Reimu is adamant about this.
“No way!”
“Hey, you’re the miko.”
Wu Yan felt speechless.
“I am homeless, the least you could do is let me stay for a while, right?”
“I don’t want you here, you’re going to mess up my peaceful life.”
Reimu said.
“There is no argument to be made here.”
“Oh?”
Wu Yan grinned.
“Don’t decide so soon.”
Wu Yan tossed a bag onto a nearby table.
Clang cling clang
The bag’s contents spilled out.
Reimu’s eyes lit up the moment she saw the bag’s contents. Her expression froze.
That bag was a bag of gold coins.
