"So, you silly angel, you've made your sister angry again?" The familiar male voice made the angel, who was crouching on the ground clutching her head, relax instantly.

She was dressed almost identically, but her hair was shorter than Yuuka's, and her bright red eyes clearly held a mocking expression.

"Who told you to climb into my bed again last night when I wasn't looking?" Exusiai replied with an exasperated expression.

"How dare you say that?!" Saka Kazami jumped to her feet, grabbed her collar, and Exusiai, her face flushed, couldn't help but wriggle her legs. "It's all because of you last night—! Tch, aren't you afraid I'll tell Yuuka-nee about that secret?"

"Ah—! Did I become like that again last night?!" Shahua quickly pulled back her parasol, this time awkwardly scratching her cheek. "No way, Aneng, could it be that you discovered me last night—?"

"Otherwise, who would share a bed with you, you idiot?!" The halo above her head flashed, and Exusiai blushed and turned away.

Then his face suddenly turned pale, and he grabbed Shahua's collar again, looking at her bewildered eyes, and suddenly shouted anxiously.

"No! You have to save me!" He said each word slowly and deliberately, his orange eyes staring straight into Shahua's scarlet eyes.

"...Huh?" As if her brain had frozen, Shahua tilted her head. "What...what trouble have you gotten yourself into now?"

Then, looking at the sunflowers behind Exusiai, Shahua made way for her as if to welcome someone.

Exuding the natural scent of earth, Saka saw Kazami Yuuka approaching, emanating a terrifying aura.

"...Sister?" she asked tremulously. Kazami Yuuka's scarlet eyes gleamed with a murderous red light as she walked behind Exusiai, holding the parasol that had sliced ​​through the ground upside down.

"...Oh? Saka, you're back." Holding up her parasol, Kazami Yuuka seemed ready to swat it down at any moment. "Just you wait! I'll throw this stupid angel who's lusting after you out right now—"

"Whoa—!" Exusiai, startled, quickly hid behind Saka, only daring to peek out at the furious Yuuka Kazami. "No...no way, Yuuka-nee. I really didn't—"

"Still trying to deny it! I saw you lying in Shahua's bed this morning!" Her tone suddenly hardened, and all the surrounding sunflowers knelt on the ground. "You philandering cat! You were thinking of a fair competition. Looks like I'll have to teach you a lesson today!...Get out of the way, Shahua!"

"...Uh." Feeling Exusiai nervously tugging at her clothes behind her, and seeing the threatening look in her eyes that threatened to reveal her secret, Saka could only muster her courage and wave her hand at Yuuka. "Forget it, Yuuka-nee, Exusiai...uh."

"Yeah...! Exusiai is just an idiot, don't worry about her, haha... hahaha um—!" While laughing awkwardly, Sawa suddenly felt the flesh around her waist being slowly twisted.

Turning around, I saw Exusiai's resentful gaze and a hand pinching my waist.

"Hiss—" Sawa gasped and quickly whispered to Exusiai, "You idiot! Do you think Yuuka would let you off so easily if we didn't do this? You'd at least be punished by watering the entire sunflower field for two days! Hurry up and thank me, you're repaying kindness with enmity!"

"Mooooooo—!" Exusiai puffed out her cheeks. "Anyway, I'm just annoyed! You and Yuuka both treat me like an idiot!"

"After all, where would you find an angel like you who suddenly pops out from under a sunflower?! Even that fairy from the Lake of Mist is probably smarter than you!" She gritted her teeth indignantly, then suddenly remembered that Yuuka was still in front of her, and quickly sat up straight.

"..." His scarlet eyes swept over Shahua, who was sitting upright, and then looked at the angel behind him who was staring at him defiantly. Finally, he opened the parasol and placed it on his shoulder. "There won't be a next time, Exusiai. If I see you in Shahua's bed again, you'll go and turn over the soil in the sunflower field again, one by one."

But Shahua knew that her stoic older sister was a typical example of someone with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Why would she let this silly angel behind her turn over the soil? The sunflower field automatically turned over the soil every day thanks to Youxiang's magical power, so even if this silly angel didn't do it, she wouldn't know.

"Sigh~ What an insincere person—" Before she could finish speaking, Shahua was suddenly surrounded by a turquoise magic cannon.

With a "whoosh—!" sound, only the scorched earth remained, but in the next moment it was restored to its original state by the magical power of nature, and a dazzling sunflower grew.

"Were you thinking about something very rude just now?" Kazami Yuuka, who had been facing away from Saka, turned around at some point.

"No! Definitely not! My sister is the cutest!" In an instant, Shahua completed a triple compliment. Watching her sister's lips curl into a happy smile as she walked away with her umbrella, Shahua sighed deeply.

"Eh... Is everything alright now?" Exusiai, who never reads people's expressions, peeked out with her haloed head and watched Yuuka Kazami's departing figure. "It seems like Yuuka-nee has been quite easy to talk to lately."

"Yes, she seems to be in a good mood." Shahua nodded as she watched Youxiang's figure gradually disappear into the distance.

The sunflowers should be blooming beautifully today...

"Oh, right..." Suddenly, Yuuka Kazami covered her forehead in the distance. "What was I angry about just now...?"

The golden petals before my eyes seemed to lose their color in an instant.

"Exusiai, she..." In her mind, the face of the wine-red angel gradually blurred, and Yuuka Kazami raised an eyebrow impatiently.

“By the way… Exusiai, you…” Turning her head, Kazami Saka was surprised to find that the silly angel who had been perched on her shoulder had disappeared at some point. “Hey… don’t scare me, Exusiai…?!”

Then, Kazami Saka caught up with her older sister, Kazami Yuuka, who was taking care of sunflowers not far away.

However, at this moment, her condition was not optimistic either; she was simply covering her forehead and looking uncomfortable.

"Sis...! Are you alright?!" Shaka quickly supported Yuuka, looking into her gradually clearing eyes. "Sis! Did you see where Exusiai went?"

“Exusiai…” After pondering the name for a long time, Yuuka suddenly touched Saka’s forehead. “Saka, do you have a fever?”

"Who is Exia...?" Then, she uttered the question that made Kazami Saka's eyes widen.

"No...no way?!" Suddenly grabbing Yuuka's shoulder anxiously, Saka said urgently, "Sis, don't you remember? Exusiai! Exusiai! The one you were chasing just now! The one hiding behind me!"

"Huh...? Just now?" Kazami Yuuka looked at her younger brother with a worried expression. "Just now, I casually fired two magic cannons this morning, which scared you quite a bit, didn't it?"

"Eh...why, why don't you remember..." Taking a few steps back, Kazami Saka also clutched her head. "Exusiai...Exusiai...!"

Wine-red hair, orange eyes... everything about the girl turned into sand and scattered in her mind, shattering into fragments.

"No...no way...! Where are you?!" Kazami Saka rose into the sky, flying in one direction. "Where are you! Exusiai?!"

The village of the living... there was none, only Fujiwara no Mokou and Kamishirasawa Keine, who knew nothing about it.

Damn it... Didn't Exusiai stay with you in the human world and teach the children?

Lake of Mist, Scarlet Devil Mansion... none of them.

Wait... Didn't Exusiai teach Cirno and Fairy Taisei, and was originally the vice-head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion? She also helped Flandre and Remilia get rid of the sunlight problem...?

The Grand Library, and the Dollhouse in the Enchanted Forest... still nothing.

How could that be? Didn't Exia provide Alice with blueprints and Patchouli with angelic blessings?

There's no Yokai Mountain, no Hakurei Shrine, and no Moriya Shrine...

No, that can't be. When Exusiai came, didn't she hold banquets here every day and get along very well with Sanae?

He even gave that money-grubbing witch 100,000 pills, almost leading her to marry him.

He also provided a lot of help to Aya Shameimaru and Momiji Inubashiri on the mountain of monsters.

Baiyulou and the Underworld... are they even more impossible?

The busty Grim Reaper Onozuka Komachi, and Shiki Eiki, have both forgotten that she once faced death.

And what about Yuyuko and Youmu Konpaku? Have they forgotten the sight of the Saigyou Ayakashi in full bloom...?

"Why...why can't everyone remember that guy?" Covering her forehead, ignoring the loss of her demonic power, Kazami Saka could only look at the last place—[The House of the Lost].

"Oh dear, little one from the Kazami family, what brings you here to see me?" The sage of youkai, with Yakumo Ran and Orange, approached him, her fan partially obscuring her face. "You seem to be looking for something."

"I...I'm looking for Exusiai!" With this instinctive answer, Kazami Saka could only pin her hopes on the all-knowing [Sage of Yokai] Yakumo Yukari. "You...Yukari, do you remember her?"

"Ah...that little guy~" Then, Yukari's words made Kazami Saka's face light up with joy, but just as he was about to step forward, he heard Yukari's next words and felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"It has been eliminated from the world."

"Huh?" Incredulous, my brain went blank and uttered a questioning sound.

"Erase her image, her thoughts, and everything about her based on the bonds you share." Yakumo Yukari closed her eyes, as if she couldn't bear to look at Kazami Saka's pained expression. "To be honest, I can't remember anything except that child's name right now. And you, Kazami Saka?"

"I...!" She tried to speak, but no words came out. Kazami Saka's eyes gradually lost their focus. "I... who was I looking for again?"

That child, those orange eyes, that wine-red hair, that angel—everything about them vanished completely, as if torn apart by a paper shredder, leaving only blank memories.

"Who...is she again?" Kazami Saka wondered as she opened her eyes, wondering why she was there.

"Uh, why am I here?" Looking at the smiling [Sage of the Yokai] in mid-air, Kazami Saka scratched her head with her usual smile.

"I don't know, and I don't care. Go back, Kazami boy." Yakumo Yukari opened the gap and sent Kazami Saka away.

Then he looked behind him and saw the angel waving its hands in vain and despair.

"How is it? Have you given up, little girl?" Yakumo Yukari opened her fan and spoke with some difficulty. "Although I don't know who you are, judging from the fact that everyone is gradually losing sight of you, you should not be from this world. Just a second ago, I wanted to protect you. It seems that you are a very important friend to me."

"How about it? As long as you stay here, you won't disappear for at least a few months." Yakumo Yukari opened her fan and waited for the girl's choice.

"No, Saka has forgotten my present. I... have no reason to live anymore." With her last painful feelings, the [girl] still smiled at Yukari. "So let's leave it at that. Thank you, Yukari."

"...I don't know you." Zi opened her fan and threw the girl away without hesitation.

Then, all of them, in the skies above Gensokyo.

The girl's body was shredded by the rules of the world and pierced by the laws.

The heart, however, was taken by the Void and devoured as food.

A death that went unnoticed was about to occur.

Everything about the girl was erased by the [world].

According to oral accounts, there was once an unparalleled maid in the sunflower field named Noten... nothing more, and her existence remains unverified. (From Hieda Akyuu's erased manuscript)

Sugar's Birthday Bonus Episode: [A Miracle That Lasted Only One Day]

In the early morning, the soft sunlight streamed through the window, draping everything in the room in a veil of youthful energy.

However, even bathed in the early morning sunlight, the room's furnishings didn't appear tidy at all.

Clothes were scattered haphazardly on the chair, some even showing traces of pink, and the blankets were kicked off the bed, giving the whole scene a messy impression.

Needless to say, the sleeping posture of the person on the bed was also remarkable. Long, black hair was spread out messily across the entire bed, and the owner of the long hair was hugging her pillow with her eyes closed, looking like she was sleeping soundly.

If it had a cowlick, it would probably look rather comical, hopping around like that.

The alarm clock on the bedside table suddenly lit up, displaying the words "6 a.m.", and began to buzz.

The alarm clock had just gone off when the girl, who was fast asleep in bed, suddenly opened her eyes.

Tangtang has a habit of instinctively opening her eyes when she hears the alarm clock ring.

She subconsciously looked towards the doorway, which was exactly the same as yesterday, waiting for someone who would never return. The boring reality made the girl rub her eyes.

"Seriously, I stayed up a bit late writing yesterday—" Stretching, Tangtang slowly crawled out of bed and turned off the ringing alarm clock. "But he couldn't come back today either, he—" Before the girl could finish speaking, she put her hand on her cheek and pinched it.

"Looks like I still haven't been able to break my habits. I might as well get up now~" The girl rolled over and sat up in bed, her hand instinctively reaching for the chair beside her.

Sure enough, all his clothes were draped over it, though they looked a little...untidy.

"Well, I can't worry about that now. Eating and going to school are the most important things." The high school senior showed no sign of panic as she slowly put on her clothes, buttoning up the front buttons. "They're too big again... No, no, no, I think I buttoned them up a bit too small." (Don't ask, Mom's confused—)

The girl is currently attending a private high school, where the discipline is relatively relaxed, but the standards are strict.

So the girl couldn't stand her roommates' surprised and slightly envious looks, so she rented a place to live by herself.

Even Tangtang herself knew that she was just waiting for someone who would never come to see her.

"Ugh, I'm hungry." Feeling her stomach rumble, the girl sniffled. "Let's go make something—"
