20 The Devil Curiosity (2/2)

”*chuckle* Replying question with another question, how rude, but since I'm such generous person and still curious about what your answer is, I will excuse this behavior. Speak.” said Remilia.

”Thank you, well then, Remilia, what do you think about the bat?” I ask.

”Bat? They are just inferior species of us, vampire. They have our night vision, we have some similarity in our feature, majority of them eat fruit and small insect, they are nocturnal, and I more to believe that us, vampire, are the evolution of the bat, if they have enough power to do so.” explained Remilia.

”And where did you get this information from?” I ask.

”Some from my magician friend, and I make some bat into my pet in the past.” said Remilia.

”…I see.” I take a sip of my tea. 'Patchouli probably got the info from just simple observation and from general old book; after all, this subject is not anywhere near anything related with magic.' I think.

”Well, sorry to tell you that some of the thing you said is actually wrong, bats actually have the same visibility like ordinary human.” I said.

”What? But they never crash into any wall when they fly, what will you explained that as anything beside they have night vision.” Remilia replied.

”Then what if I tell you that they actually use other than their eyes to see in the dark.” I start smiling toward Remilia.

”…What…did you just said?” Remilia said with revelation tone.

”Other than the eyes, they actually use their voice to see their surroundings.” I drop the truth to her.

”…Voice…” Ponder Remilia. ”Explain.” she gave her order.

”To be more specific on the subject, they are not using a voice, they are creating a noise.” I said.

”…A voice and a noise, what's the difference?” inquire Remilia.

”An example for the voice, it's their cry, and for the noise, they actually kinda special.” I continue.

”Special?” ask Remilia.

I nod ”Special as in, they can create a noise that only they can hear.” I said.

”…And how is that related to their ability to seeing in the darkness?” inquire Remilia.

”Well, they are actually using the noise like this.” I sense my pulse. ”The noise rebound from the first object they collide with, the rebounded noise giving the bat a mental map about what's in front of him, just like now, from you holding the tea cup and the plate in each hand, Sakuya holding the tea pot handle with her left hand and the bottom with her right hand, and Flandre use both of her hand to eat the cookie.” I smile while explaining it.

The silent reign in the room after I finished explaining it.

'…For once I really thank full that I'm currently blind, I'm sure all of them are staring at me, but all I need is just smile at this silent situation and not having eye contact with any of them right now.' I think.

*click* I sense Remilia put down her tea cup with the tea plate on top of the table.

”…Interesting! What an interesting story. Inviting you really is a correct decision. *clap**clap**clap*” Remilia sound exited and lightly clap her hand. ”So, where did you find all of those information?” she ask.

”I just read it in some book about animal from the outside world.” I reply.

”Outside world is it? No wonder.” Remilia said understandingly.

'….Oh no, I got an idea to bullshitting Remilia with imaginary fact now, YOLO.' I think,

”Did you know that the first human that discovered the bat use their noise to see in the darkness is when he saw a bat continuously crashing to the wall inside a room that absorbed any sound?” I said my bullshit.

”Is that so? No wonder the outside world known how bat work,…wait, if the room is dark, how is that human see the bat keep crashing into the wall?” ask Remilia.

”Well, that human actually a magician, and he used a night vision spell to see in the darkness.” I said more bullshit.

”..But then why is he and that bat in the same room together?” she continue asking me.

”The room actually is his room, he can't afford to buy a candle, that's why he used his night vision magic instead, as for the bat, it just coincidently get into his room.” I said more and more bullshit.

”I see, seems like the outside world magician is having it hard living there.” Remilia said understandingly.

”Yeah, I think so too.” I nod understandingly too to make my word believable.

I tried to take a sip of my tea but apparently it's already empty.

”Sakuya-san, can I have a second please?” I said to Sakuya direction.

I sense Sakuya appear beside me.

I hear and feel my tea cup in my hand getting heavier and filled again, three second later Sakuya reappear again beside Remilia.

I take a sip again to my now full tea cup again.

”For the record, if you plan to take a bat as a pet again in the future, please sanitized them first, they prone to carry some type of disease after all.” I gave a warning to Remilia.

”Noted.” confirm Remilia.

'…She probably gonna captured some bat to become her pet now that I bring a bat story to her, and she probably gonna lose interest to that bat in a week or two, just like children.' I think.

”Now then, let's go the main course shall we?” She said. ”I hear what you did to Meiling, show it to me.” ordered Remilia.

'…And finally it comes, I'm wondering when will she bring this topic up. After all, this is probably the reason why she called me.' I think.

I sense Flandre looking between me and her sister, I bet she's confused with what she said.

”All right, but I only can completely turn into Flandre or Sakuya-san in this mansion.” I said.

”Oh, why is that?” Remilia ask.

”Because they are the only one with enough voice samples to make my voice similar to them.” I explained. 'There's no need to lie to them, nor do I need to lie beside to troll people in Gensokyo, now I live in here, I need to stay in people good side.' I think.

”I see, but you just said ”in this mansion” in your statement, is that mean you can turn into other people from outside the mansion?” Remilia inquire.

I smile to her direction. ”You said you need other permission if I turn into other people, isn't right Mistress Remilia?” I gave her a hint that the one who gave me her message is Sakuya.

”…*chuckle* Indeed, I did said those word. I gave you my permission to change into Sakuya.” said Remilia.

I turn my head toward Sakuya.

”I follow every Mistress whishes, if she said you can use my body as you like, then so be it.” said Sakuya.

”C-can you not wording it like that? I only gonna borrow your appearance and your voice.” I reply hurriedly.

”But isn't that the truth, you human boy probably gonna do it if I gave you the chance and permission to do it.” tease Remilia.

”I rather not, I only gonna do it if the person itself gave me her permission. Beside your mansion probably gonna be destroyed if your chief maid is unavailable because she is pregnant.” I counter Remilia.

”Is that so?” ask Remilia amusingly.

'A blind boy Vs a Loli Vampire, what a laughable situation, and people probably laughing at me and not with me.' I think.

”What is the connection between using Sakuya and she is becoming pregnant?” a child like voice can be heard beside me.

Her voice clearly small but somehow her voice can be heard echoed clearly in the room.

I slowly look at Flandre direction.

”Why?” Flandre ask again.

”””…””” all of us suddenly turn quiet.

'ABORT! ABORT! ABORT THE MISSION! THERE ARE CHILDREN IN THE ROOM! ABORT!' I scream in my mind.

”W-well, Flandre, actually-””When someone pregnant isn't that supposed to be when the stork bird delivering their babies?” Flandre innocently ask her question.

'SHE'S SO INNOCENT! SHE'S SHINING! EVEN THOUGH I'M BLINDED, I CAN SEE SHE'S SHINGING BRIGHTLY RIGHT NOW!' I scream inwardly. 'Gotta send the life boat to Remilia, even though I think what I'm gonna say is useless…' I think.

”W-well, Flan, we will tell you when you are older like Remilia, okay?” I said.

”Y-yes, Young Mistress, we will definitely tell you about it when you are older like Mistress.” Sakuya hurriedly followed me up.

”When I'm older like Nee-sama? That mean I just need to wait 5 more years right?!” Flandre said excitedly.

'You guys probably known this but for anyone that didn't, the age different between Remilia and Flandre are only 5 years apart.' I think.

I look at Remilia direction.

”Change! Now!” Remilia ordered.

'Now she's using me as a distraction, not that I complain about it tho.' I think.

I touch the choker on my neck.

'System, full change into Izayoi Sakuya.' I order the system inwardly.

[Full Change: Izayoi Sakuya]

*kyu-kyu-kyu* comes the sound effect for the transformation.

I open my eyes for full effect.

”Wow! Arahnii-san turned into Sakuya!” shout Flandre excitedly.

'Good job!' I can imagine the other two said those word coming inwardly.

”To put it simply, that's what happen, Young Mistress.” I said with Sakuya voices.

”Young Mistress?” Flandre ask.

”Sakuya-san probably gonna be mad at me if I didn't act like her when I speak to the both you.” I explained my reasoning.

”What is this? You scared of her?” Remilia teased.

”No, it's a bad feeling if you're getting hated by a beautiful girl.” I gave my reasoning.

”…Philanderer.” I heard Sakuya said it.

”What's a Philanderer?” Flandre ask again.

'…Oh boy.' I think tiredly.

-Late Evening, Library, SDM-

-Sakuya POV-​

I start thinking back at that chaotic early Mistress meeting with the Human Boy; somehow we could dodge all of Young Mistress question, and we end the meeting by giving more piano lesson to Young Mistress by that boy.

Right now, me and my Mistress in Miss Patchouli Library, as for Young Mistress, she's already long asleep sometimes ago.

The reason why we are here is because my Mistress wanted to tell what happen in that meeting with the boy to her friend, Miss Patchouli.

My Mistress and Miss Patchouli sitting on one of the table set in the Library. My Mistress is talking while her friend keep reading her book, whoever that didn't know these people before hand probably said the one reading book is having bad manner when they see this situation, but the truth is she's listening to what my Mistress said while reading her book at the same time. She only look away from her book when there's important enough detail to be pointed by her.

”Outside World knowledge is it? Maybe it's worth it to meet that boy after all.” said Miss Patchouli while still reading.

My Mistress still continuing her stories, after a few second later she looked away from her book.

”What? You people said what to Flandre?” she asked.

Miss Patchouli turned to look at me.

I bowed apologetically to her.

”*groan* She probably gonna search for me to ask about what you people said in that meeting.” She groaned tiredly. ”It will be good if she just forgot about it when tomorrow comes.” she said.

”Me too Patche, me too.” said my Mistress.

'Me too, Mistress.' I said it too, inwardly.

Author note:

Heyo, Author here. My final project still going and somehow I can slip enough time to make this chapter to you guys, fuck my life dude, I hate going to the higher education, I only need internet in my life.

About Remilia opinion about bat is original on my part, I figure Remilia doesn't know about bat because they don't falsely pointed out a Chupacabra from a Tupai (Monggose thingy, not the Indonesian word for Squirrel, I don't know. I'm Indonesian btw.) In Forbidden Scrollery.

So yeah, 2 more weeks until Arah cured from his blindness, 1 more month until winter comes, 4 more months until PCB incident starts.
