20 The Devil Curiosity (1/2)

-Early Evening, 2nd floor Balcony, SDM-

-Me POV-​

…You know, there's several thing that you need to avoid in Gensokyo, those thing are range from pissing off a certain gap Youkai to stepping on a little flower, from the biggest thing to the smallest thing, and I somehow trigger one of them, and that's is ”Grabbing the attention of a bored loli vampire”.

”I wonder why nee-sama called you.” said little girl with crystal wing beside me.

”Yeah, I wonder too.” I said.

”*gasp* is she gonna cure Arahnii-san blindness?!” she gasped.

”I don't think she's the type who would do that and I also think she can't cure any illness either.” I said.

”…Then what about nee-sama friend, miss patchouli, she's a magician, I'm sure somehow she can cure Arahnii-san blindness.” she said.

I look at the little girl to my left.

”….I sure anyone will become sadder if all you see is darkness in each passing day.” she said with lonely tone.

Right now, me and Flandre in the 2nd floor balcony of the mansion, sitting on the table set of said balcony, 3 chairs and a table, both of us occupied two of them, leaving one of them empty but not for long because I think it will occupied soon, and also apparently the balcony facing toward the lake, said Flandre.

As for why me and Flandre in here, well, after I arrive, Sakuya suddenly ask me to follow her, no question ask, no insult whatsoever, she just said ”Follow me, Mistress wanted to see you.” with serious tone. I knew sooner or later I'll be called by Remilia after what I did with Meiling, a human that can changed their look and voices to be like someone else obviously gonna attract the bored vampire. And as for Flandre, she just tagged along in our way to the balcony.

And speaking of Flandre…

I got up from my chair and stand standing beside Flan.

I sense she titled her head with my action.

I stretch my hand and start patting her head with my left hand.

”Yes but right now, you're out here, you can finally meet with everyone again, and maybe making new friend now, but more importantly.” I raise a finger with my other hand. ”You can meet with your beloved nee-sama again.” I smiled.

'Also if she can't cure her own asthma then how will gonna cure me.' I think.

”…Yeah, Flan know.” she said with calmer tone.

I nod to her and start going back to my seat.

”Then what about you Arahnii-san? Are you really fine with it?” she asked.

I nod. ”My blindness will go away in 2 more weeks; so Flandre doesn't need worry too much about me.” I explain.

”…I see.” she said. ”…Wait! I got an idea!” she starts getting exited.

Before I start questioning what's wrong, I hear a noise of a chair violently grazing toward the floor, and I sense Flandre rushing toward me.

Again, before I can ask her anything, she's trying to do something with my lap, from this point, I pretty much just letting thing happen, she have much higher level, I can't do shit if she do anything to me, she probably can just kill me through my armor with just a grip, yeah, a grip, because that's how she use her ability.

”Done!” she exclaim.

I wake up from my helplessness and start sensing; Flandre facing her back to me and sitting on my thigh, is she trying to sit on my lap just now?

I sense she turn her head to me, making one of her wing touch me. ”From now on and until Arahnii-san cured, Flandre will stay by your side so that Arahnii-san not feeling lonely in our mansion!” she said happily.

I'm surprised with what I hear, I open my eyes and leave my mouth open, that's how surprised I'm.

Slowly as my brain process what Flandre said, my surprised turn into happiness, much happiness.

I grin. ”Look at this girl,” I ruffle her hair. ”Are you trying to be cute or something? Well, if it is, then congratulation, it's working.” I said.

”Haha, Flandre is cute!” she exclaim happily.

”Yes, Flandre is very cute.” I said.

”Hahaha!” she laughed.

I stop with what I'm doing and lean back to my chair, I'm starting to relax.

'Fuck all the people that depict Flandre as insane murderous child, fuck'em all.' I think.

I sense Flandre also lean back to my chest.

Even though she's shorter than me but because she sit on my thigh, her head nearly touch my jaw.

'…Her hair smells good. Do all girls always have their hair smells goods?' I think.

”Arahnii-san can call me Flan if you want to you know.” she said.

I already suspect that Flandre will say something to me after she start leaning so her suddent word doesn't really surprised me.

”…If you say so, Flan.” I answer.

With that final word, me and Flandre start relaxing in the balcony.

After a few minute of idleness, I sense 2 magic signatures heading toward our location.

”…Flan, I think your nee-sama and Sakuya-san is gonna come soon, maybe you should go back to your seat now.” I suggest.

”Yes!” she got off from me and got back to her chair. ”Nee-sama said table manner is important to become a fair lady, even though I didn't interested in something like fair lady but since it sounds important to Nee-sama then I'm gonna do it anyway.” she explain.

I nod understandingly. ”Wise choice, my dear Flan.” I praise.

”Hehe.” She sounds embarrassed and proud by it.

Both of us smile, I think? I can't see Flandre face right now but base on her voice, she probably smiling while looking embarrassed at the same time.

And with that timing those two magic signature arrive at the balcony door, based on what I sense, the type of the door is the glasses sliding door thingy, so they probably can see what we were doing before she slide the door open.

*Gruuuk* the sliding door open.

”…Seems like you two already start having some conversation without me, it's a shame that I can't hear what you two are talking about.” said a new arrived child voice.

”Nee-sama!” Flandre exclaim happily.

”Is that Remilia-san? It has been a while isn't it? Since the last time we met.” I said. 'Yeah, it's been a while, now, GIVE ME YOUR VOICE SAMPLE!' I think.

”I have arrive, Flan, and hello to you too, Arah boy, maybe it's a while for you, but for us, Vampire, it's only a fraction of a moment, and I allow you to just call me Remilia” said Remilia smugly, yeah, smugly, I don't know, fuck me.

Remilia and…Sakuya, I recognize her signature, walk toward us, Sakuya appear at the other side of the table, probably pulling the chair for Remilia to sit.

Remilia walking toward Sakuya location…Did she already sit on the chair?

…if yes, then holy shit, there's no sound what so ever when the chair is getting pulled by Sakuya.

Sakuya teleport again at the side of the table before teleporting back beside Remilia.

”Tea!” Flandre exclaim.

…I sense my pulse.

I sense there's a tea cup in front of all of us, there's also something in the middle of the table, something that resemble a plate, probably a plate, and something clumped up on top of them, probably a cookie.

”Cookie!” Flandre exclaim happily again.

'Thank you, Flandre.' I said inwardly.

And I also send Sakuya holding a tea pot, probably the tea exclusive for this vampire sibling.

”…I see, is that how you see now in your blindness?” Remilia inquired.

”Yeah, I developed it on day one of my condition.” I answer.

”Then can you share your story about how you developed this technique.” said Remilia.

'Huh, story time is it?' I think.

”Of course, I can do that, but let's take a sip of our tea first shall we?” I said as I reach for my cup of tea.

”What a coincidence, I also thinking the same thing.” said Remilia.

”*crunch**crunch*” I hear crunching noises from Flandre direction.

I bring the tea cup to my face and smell it.

Its smell like normal tea, not the green tea one, but the normal tea I used to have back home.

I sip it…must not make any sipping sound or Sakuya gonna be more mad at me.

…it tastes like…tea? Oh wow, guess Sakuya not fucking around when Remilia involved in it, and I'm also surprised that the tea I just drink is a normal one, instead a blood flavored tea.

I placed back the tea cup.

”Now then, I'm sure I was about to tell you about the story isn't it?” I ask.

”Yes, start entertained me.” ordered Remilia.

I lightly smile. '…I really hate dealing with this type of person. *sigh* LET THE BULLSHIT BEGIN BOYS!' I think.

”*cough* Well, at that time, when I first accept that I turn completely blind, I start thinking about how will I be able to navigate myself in this darkness, about who can help me to walk in the darkness and about whose successfully can travel in the darkness.” I explain.

”…Successfully travel in the dark is it?” Remilia sounded interested by what I said.

I nod. ”After thinking for a while, I finally conclude to copy their technique to aid me sensing all my surrounding, maybe you already know it by now, but I'm just gonna say it to make you guess is right, yes, I copy the technique of the bat.” I said.

”Bat?” Remilia ask with surprised tone.

'…Wait, there's something strange there with what she said.' I sense something strange in Remilia voice. ”…Why did you sound so surprised?” I ask back.

”I believe that bat can see very well in the dark, so I failed to see the correlation between your blindness and the bat vision capability.” said Remilia.

'…Whaaaaaaaaaat.' I flabbergasted with what I hear.

I open my eyes in surprised.

[Lv.62 Scarlet Devil, Remilia Scarlet]

Past Lv.61, now Lv.62.

I turn to look at Sakuya.

[Lv.41 Perfect Maid, Izayoi Sakuya]

Past Lv.39, now Lv.41.

I turn again to look at Flandre.

[Lv.? Rainbow Devil, Flandre Scarlet]

No change.

'Seems like everyone leveled up recently.' I think.

”…The color of his eyes…looks like he really did become blind.” Remilia said.

”…Arahnii-san, did you always open your eyes every time you surprise?” Flandre ask.

”Well, it's kind of habit that I pick up in this coupled of days, I know I still can't see anything when I opened my eyes, but…you know, it's a reactionary thing.” I tried to explain.

”Heeeh, Flandre doesn't really understand, but it seems like it's a troublesome thing to happen.” Flandre purely stated.

”Haha, I see.” I smile at what Flandre said.

”*cough* Let's go back to the subject shall we. Arah boy, why did you surprised? Did you find something wrong with my previous statement?” Remilia inquire.

I take my thinking pose.

”I'm really sorry, but can I ask you some question first? I promise I will answer your question after that” I said.
