Gensokyo, Scarlet Devil Mansion...
In the hall, on the platform at the top of the stairs, Remilia sat in her usual seat of honor. Patchouli and Flandre sat opposite each other at Remilia's sides, while Sakuya alone stood behind Remilia.
At that moment, an extremely heavy, deathly silence hung over the four girls. Each of them displayed it differently.
Remilia lowered her head, staring at the scarlet liquid in the teacup before her. Her equally scarlet eyes were filled with anxiety.
Patchouli held a thick book, glasses perched on her face as she turned the pages one by one, her expression utterly focused.
Flandre kept her gaze fixed tightly on the entrance to the Scarlet Devil Mansion's hall. Her eyes held anticipation and worry, but above all, unease.
As for Sakuya, her pretty face appeared calm and unmoved. Yet on closer inspection, one could notice that from time to time, her gaze would imperceptibly drift toward the hall entrance.
Clearly, whatever these four members of the Scarlet Devil Mansion were thinking about, it all concerned only one person...
In truth, this scene had continued from morning until now.
Ever since Wu Yan had fled as though escaping and vanished from Remilia and the others' sight, Remilia had sent every Fairy Maid in the Scarlet Devil Mansion out to search for him, while they remained here waiting for news.
However, judging by Remilia and Flandre's expressions, they were probably nearing the limit of their patience.
As time passed bit by bit, the heavy and deathly atmosphere grew denser. Bloodlight even began to shine in Flandre's wine-red pupils, revealing just how anxious she truly was.
