"Boom—!"
With that tremendous explosion, the gates of Scarlet Devil Mansion suddenly blew apart, kicking up thick smoke and flames that instantly engulfed the entire entrance hall, only stopping their spread at the foot of the stairs.
"Who?!"
Remilia, Patchouli, Sakuya, and Koakuma were all startled. The next moment, anger appeared on Remilia's face.
Someone had actually come to Scarlet Devil Mansion to cause trouble?...
Patchouli, Sakuya, and Koakuma apparently had the same thought. Some wary, some indifferent, some frightened, they looked toward the mansion gates. Only Flandre seemed as though she had encountered something fun, her crimson eyes filled with excitement.
Not to mention the girls, even Wu Yan frowned slightly. He turned to look toward the gates of Scarlet Devil Mansion, but then froze, surprise appearing on his face.
At the spot where the gates had exploded open, amid the smoke and flames, a figure slowly walked out and entered everyone's sight.
The figure's owner had striking short, slightly curled emerald-green hair. She wore a bright red and dark red checkered vest, along with a knee-length skirt of the same design. A yellow bow was tied at her chest, and beneath the vest was a white long-sleeved shirt.
Amid the smoke and fire, the girl held up a parasol as though shielding herself from some light harmful to her body and slowly walked into the hall. Her red eyes swept over her surroundings before turning toward the platform at the top of the stairs.
When she saw Wu Yan standing on the platform, her eyes, previously tinged with boredom, instantly lit up. A gentle smile appeared on her face.
"Found you..."
"You?..." Wu Yan was utterly stunned.
"Why are you here?..."
