In Fantasy Town, people are kept by various rich women

Since then, Remi couldn't look her friend in the face.

Ahem, the topic is a bit far off topic.

In short, Patchouli-sama might be tempted by her proposal, but Sakuya didn't hold out much hope.

Although Lady Patchouli used to be a powerful and reliable magician, after meeting Luo Kong, she gradually turned into a pervert who stayed in her room every day watching videos, except for occasionally doing research that she was interested in.

Moreover, judging by Lady Patchouli's usual behavior, she is a pervert who only dares to be secretly infatuated with others behind others' backs. Once in front of someone, she immediately becomes a very serious and stubborn tsundere magician, leaving herself no chance of success at all.

Even though Sakuya's experience in love is just paper talk.

If nothing unexpected happens, Lady Patchouli will remain in this state for a long time, right?

But....still have to try it....

Therefore, Sakuya came to the library silently and knocked on Patchouli-sama's door very politely.

However there was no response.

Fortunately, Sakuya pushed the door open and walked in.

As I scanned the area, I saw that a certain magician was staring at a video of someone that he secretly filmed in front of him as usual....

Sakuya: “…”

"Cough cough..."

Sakuya coughed lightly, and the sound made Patchouli's thin shoulders tremble slightly while she was sitting on the bed. The sound of the video stopped abruptly.

Patchouli turned her head slowly like a rusty machine, her long purple hair, which had not been groomed yet and was slightly curled, swaying with her.

As their eyes met, the magician's fair face gradually turned red.

"No... It's not what you think, Sakuya, don't misunderstand..."

"No need to explain, Lady Patchouli, I know everything."

Sakuya's calm tone made Patchouli even more flustered.

"Please listen to my explanation first..."

"Lady Patchouli, you like Luo Kong, right?"

Sakuya looked at Patchouli in front of her with sincere eyes.

Although the chances are slim, Patchouli-sama is the last hope to defeat the miko in the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

However, as if this sentence had triggered some switch, Patchouli's face became even redder.

"How can it be!!!"

Patchouli jumped up as if she had been electrocuted and explained loudly.

"I've already told you that this is your misunderstanding. I only watched these photos to study that guy's special ability. It has absolutely nothing to do with liking him!"

Patchouli waved her hands firmly, then looked away and said with a guilty look.

"Besides, judging by the way that bastard acts every day, he forces me to drink those strange herbs, forces me to exercise, and always disappears from time to time... A guy like this... Humph! Who would like her!"

Sakuya looked at the emotional Patchouli in front of her speechlessly, feeling somewhat helpless.

Before he could even finish his sentence, Lady Patchouli had almost exposed her underwear.

Looking at the other party's emotionally negative expression, I probably won't be able to continue the conversation that day.

Finally, after closing Patchouli's door and crossing out the last name on the list, Sakuya walked into the library in a daze.

Scarlet Devil Mansion...it seems like all its members are destroyed?

Sakuya's mood was somewhat complicated.

The eldest lady, the second lady, Meiling, and Lady Patchouli all had a crush on Luo Kong, but why did they all fail?

Silently closing the list in her mind, Sakuya sighed resignedly, her eyes swept across the bookshelf beside her, and a slightly strange book title caught her eye.

"The Thousand Tricks of Love: A Thousand Ways to Hold on to Your Loved One"

Come to think of it, there seems to be one person whose name has not been crossed out on the list of the Scarlet Devil Mansion?

Sakuya looked at the book with the strange name, and a trace of fluctuation appeared on her expressionless face.

Izayoi Sakuya....

That was the last remaining hope that the Scarlet Devil Mansion had not yet destroyed.

Sakuya slowly stretched out her hand towards the book, but finally stopped when she was about to touch the book.

"I guess I'd better forget it..."

As said before.

Everyone on the Scarlet Devil Mansion's list, to varying degrees, has a strange fondness for that junior.

Except her.

It was obvious that he was just feeling a little nervous about the possibility that Luo Kong might leave the Scarlet Devil Mansion out of some inexplicable reason.

She doesn't really like the other person.

If this is really the mentality, and if she uses this method without any psychological burden to separate Luo Kong and the person who truly likes her and force the other person to stay in the Scarlet Devil Mansion...this kind of thing is indeed impossible to do.

But...if she gave up just like that, Sakuya's heart twitched slightly for some unknown reason when she thought of the scene of the other party leaving.

Some stinging....

So... isn't it enough to just make yourself fall in love with the other person?

A strange voice suddenly appeared in my heart.

Beside her, a shadow that looked very similar to her vaguely emerged.

The shadow was wearing the same simple maid outfit as her, but the original blue and white color had turned black.

The shadow had a scarlet gaze that was completely different from hers, and a faint smile pursed its lips.

"Tell me...is there a possibility..."

The shadow spoke in the same voice as hers, with a slightly teasing tone.

"That tingling feeling in your heart is because of love?"

........

ps: After submitting my graduation materials the day after tomorrow I should be free for a while. Then I’ll see if I can restore the previous update volume.

Volume 2: Chapter 159: Catch a Youyouzi.

Chapter 159

"You think too much..."

Sakuya didn't seem particularly surprised by the appearance of another phantom.

She just opened her light blue eyes and looked at her calmly.

"It's just the loss of a familiar friend who suddenly left."

"Tsk..."

The black Sakuya smacked her lips in dissatisfaction and looked at the head maid in front of her.

It's obviously another me, but it's so boring.

"Humph..."

Upon hearing this, Sakuya just snorted coldly and ignored the other party's words, but stretched out his hand to wave them away.

It seemed like long ago, this black Sakuya would occasionally appear beside her.

This guy who claimed to be her always spoke in a strange and sarcastic tone every time he came out, and there was nothing else he could do.

At the beginning, Sakuya might have cared a little, but as time went by, she turned a deaf ear to it and completely ignored the other party.

but....

Are you trying to like each other?

Sakuya thought of Kuro Sakuya's first words.

Thinking about it carefully, I surprisingly didn't have any aversion to this idea.

Thinking of this, Sakuya reached out, pulled out the book, and placed it in her arms.

Perhaps this book can be used in another way?

...............

"Old fellow? What are you doing here?"

Mi Ling originally intended to learn from a certain good employee, so she walked out of the Scarlet Devil Mansion and walked around twice, then looked up at the sky. It was a rare sunny day in winter, and just as she was about to stretch, she turned around and saw Luo Kong, who was hiding in the bushes for some reason.

"Shh-"

As if startled by the sudden sound behind him, Luo Kong quickly turned around, and when he saw it was Meiling, he put his finger to his lips.

Ok?

Meiling looked in the direction Luo Kong was looking with some curiosity, and discovered that not far away, under a big tree, there was a very conspicuous trap dangling there.

Under a half-open bamboo basket propped up by tree branches, a fragrant little cake was placed inside.

"No, who could fall for such an obvious trap?"

Meiling looked at the crude thing that could be roughly called a trap.

She finally understood why her fellow villager went fishing often, but always brought back the same fish as on the first day.

"Who said that? This trap is very useful!"

Meiling shrugged her shoulders and expressed no comment on Luo Kong's words.

But...even if it is for concealment, can wearing a black robe and hiding in the withered hay on a snowy day really be considered concealment?

Hong Meiling looked at Luo Kong's hiding method with a subtle look.

"Hey, what do you know? This is called deterrence, okay?"

Faced with Meiling's questioning, Luo Kong seemed very unconvinced, and then began to explain himself.

"The point is not to see if I am hiding, but to see who I want to catch with this trap!"

"...Only a fool would fall for this kind of trap, right?"

Meiling glanced at Luo Kong speechlessly, and the latter slapped his thigh...

"Hey, you guessed it right. I want to catch the idiot!"

Meiling: “….”

Looking at the thing that the other person was shamelessly placing on his thigh, he immediately looked at the other person with contempt.

"Ahem, it was a mistake, it was a mistake, I took the wrong picture of the person."

Luo Kong waved his hands awkwardly, causing the latter to roll his eyes.

But Meiling was obviously not the kind of person who would care about these things. She just looked at the somewhat conspicuous hemp rope in Luo Kong's other hand.

A trap for idiots...

That probably refers to the ice fairy...or the silly-looking little monster named Rumya.

Meiling had some understanding of these two little guys who often came to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to look for Luo Kong.

Not to mention, whether it is the little guy named Cirno or the little monster named Lumia, they might actually be able to succeed in facing this kind of trap.

Anyway, you are so old, but you still like to bully children...

He knew in his heart that Luo Kong was just soft-hearted towards those little guys who always had no place to live, so every day he would come over to play with those little guys under the pretext of fishing... or finding any other excuse, and bring them snacks and food.

Meiling looked at Luo Kong's back, her eyes subconsciously softened and she revealed a hint of a smile.

Maybe it's because of this that Meiling has always had a good impression of him.

only....
