The two people on the stage faced each other without saying a word, because they could both see a similar obsession in each other's eyes—an obsession with victory!

But in this match, one of them must fall.

"World--"

As soon as the match started, Sakuya Izayoi stopped time. Based on her previous experience with Reisen's battle, she knew that Reisen's ability was probably to create illusions. She immediately used the time-stopped time to go back to the Scarlet Devil Mansion and retrieved the spare throwing knives she had collected over the past ten years. She then fired them all at the venue, leaving no room for dodging.

Sakuya Izayoi: I know your ability can subtly influence my mind, causing hallucinations, and I'm just a human, unlike a youkai, unable to resist your power. But! Before that, why not just defeat you?!

Intelligence is humanity's most powerful weapon against other species!

Despite being overwhelmed by Sakuya Izayoi's intelligence, Reisen ultimately lost.

Finally, he was covered in throwing knives. Although it was only a minor injury for a humanoid weapon like him, it did look rather gruesome.

Reisen tried to get up again, until the Princess came on stage and threw her onto Mo Yi.

Mo Yi, understanding the situation, caught Reisen and began to treat her.

First match – Scarlet Devil Mansion, win.

"Young Miss, I'm back—"

Sakuya Izayoi is similar to a certain blond man who likes to stop time, crawl between people's legs, light candles, and carry people down the stairs. She always likes to use time-stopping to do strange things, such as suddenly returning from the stage to Remilia's side.

It takes far more effort to use time-stop once than to walk back from the stage.

The reason is probably that he's handsome.

"Well done, Sakuya, as expected of my most trusted subordinate."

Then, Sakuya Izayoi and Remilia engaged in another round of mutual flattery and laughter.

Even Patchouli, the magician beside them, couldn't stand it anymore. Such a comedy show is interesting to listen to once in a while, but who can stand it every day?

"According to the plan, it's my turn to play this time, Remi— "

After saying that, Patchouli stood up and leisurely walked onto the competition stage.

In fact, Patchouli wasn't walking so slowly on purpose. If she had rushed too much, she might have had an asthma attack. For a mage who needs to chant spells to cast magic, an asthma attack would prevent her from even chanting the spells, let alone fighting!

"It's up to you, Patchy— "

Remilia looked at Mo Yi, who was infusing life force into Reisen after throwing the Reisen knife off her, and said, "Aren't you going up? The match is about to start?"

"Of course, if you want to heal your friend first before going on stage, that's fine too. After all, I, Scarlet Devil Mansion, am not some kind of demon."

Remilia: It seems this guy's ability is healing. Against an elemental mage like Patchouli who has huge destructive power, he's useless against priests and the like!

Moreover, having him heal the rabbit demon before going on stage would definitely waste some of his energy, which is perfect.

How could I, Remilia, do something that would be a loss? My wisdom is enough to illuminate the entire Gensokyo!

It seems there's no need for a third round. Thinking about it, it's really boring. I haven't even made my appearance yet, to show everyone in Gensokyo what Scarlet's greatness and elegance are all about.

Of course, Remilia probably hadn't heard that priests are the dirtiest. Against mages who need to cast spells, a single Mind Blast can teach them what it means to fail a spell and explode on the spot.

Mo Yi: "..."

Okay, the other party misunderstood and thought they were from the second round. In fact, the Princess standing on the stage was from the second round.

"Miss Remilia, you've made a mistake. The Princess is the contestant in the second round."

"What?!"

The boss always appears last. How could Houraisan Kaguya, the lord of Eientei, appear in the second round? This doesn't conform to the basic rule that 'the king will eventually sit and wait for his death'.

Remilia pressed her temples, muttering to herself. A few seconds later, she transformed back into her dignified young lady, a wicked smile on her face. "So that's how it is," she said, "You've been forced into a corner, Houraisan Kaguya?"

In the young lady's opinion, the reason why the Princess went up in the second round was naturally because for Eientei, this was a life-or-death situation, and only the strongest one could go up.

Conversely, doesn't this mean that the other side lacks confidence in the man who was supposed to be sitting opposite them in the second round, treating the rabbit demon?

Thinking of this, Remilia couldn't help but—"Hahahaha..."

He burst into laughter again.

"This is nothing more than a prolongation of its existence—"

Even if you, Houraisan Kaguya, defeated Patchouli, so what? In the final match, it's me, the one who controls destiny, who's here! A mere human man with healing abilities—do you think I'd lose?!

What a foolish choice, Houraisan Kaguya.

It seems that my Scarlet Devil Mansion is still stronger!

Besides, in terms of destructive power alone, Patchouli is stronger than me. Although I don't know what your ability is, Houraisan Kaguya, you mustn't lose, otherwise I won't have a chance to appear.

Mo Yi: "..."

Mo Yi, who was treating Reisen, couldn't help but be drawn to Remilia was suddenly laughing wildly, talking to herself, and making exaggerated facial expressions.

I couldn't help but think to myself:

"Young Miss, you have too many internal monologues."

The battle on the field officially began with the start of the cunning rabbit Inaba Tei's command.

The Princess starts with a roar

"The World— "

"Pause, time!" (Actually, the Princess couldn't stop time.)

(A bride-to-be, how ridiculous!)

PS: I intended to finish writing the Gensokyo storyline last night, but I dozed off around 8 pm and slept straight through until dawn. I guess it was because I went for a 40-minute run in the cold wind. Running in winter is so comfortable; no need to worry about people cutting in front of me, the whole road is mine! (Funny Chapter 175, Kiana - Pufferfish Chapter 1.34:) After Mo Yi 'Mo Yi explanation, Kiana finally understood that he was referring to building sandcastles on the beach. Even as a child, Mo Yi was very interested in building sandcastles on the beach; the people on TV could do it so easily. Hmm, besides that, there's snow. Mo Yi used to be from the south. However, after being reborn in Changkong, he hasn't seen snow since, leaving only his obsession with the beach. "(ˉ▽~~) Tch~~" Kiana, still struggling with her shyness and facing away from Mo Yi, scoffed in annoyance. Mo Yi: "..." Don't think I didn't hear your annoyance; that's just your own thought, you dirty pufferfish! Finally, Kiana and Mo Yi found a spot and started building sand sculptures.
