Comprehensive anime illustrations, but all the beautiful girls in the group chat want to pay for you

"W-Where is that?! I just want to borrow some books..."

Her voice unconsciously rose a few notes, and her fingertips unconsciously twisted the lace edge of her skirt.

“Who would have thought there would be such a large library here…”

The girl's explanation became quieter and quieter, and finally became almost like talking to herself.

She pretended to concentrate on flipping through the ancient book in her hand, but she didn't even notice that the pages were held upside down.

The light from the crystal chandelier cast tiny shadows on her drooping eyelashes, making her embarrassment even more obvious.

"That's all you can borrow, Ms. Rin."

Patchouli's voice suddenly came from behind, startling Toosaka Rin so much that her hands trembled.

The purple-haired witch had been standing quietly behind her without her knowing, her violet eyes slightly narrowed, her wide witch robe glowing mysteriously in the candlelight.

Her slender fingertips gently tapped the neatly arranged pile of ancient books on the coffee table, her movements elegant yet unquestionable.

"Please leave when you're done."

Patchouli's voice was a little distant.

"I'm only lending these out of consideration for Brother Zhou."

"I, I understand! Witch-senpai!"

Toosaka Rin immediately straightened her back, and her upbringing as a magician allowed her to instantly regain her dignified posture.

But the red tips of her ears betrayed her embarrassment.

"That's good."

When Patchouli turned around, the lace on her cuffs drew a graceful arc in the air.

“Please return it promptly after viewing.”

She paused, then added lightly:

"And... you're holding your book upside down, Ms. Rin."

After saying that, she left.

As the witch's figure disappeared into the shadows of the library, Toosaka Rin realized that the "Universal Magic Theory" in her hand was indeed upside down.

She buried her face in the pages of the book in frustration, and the ruby ​​hair ornament in her hair dimmed a little.

Zhou Yuan, on the other hand, held his chin with one hand and looked at Patchouli's departing back with interest.

"Hehehe~"

The candlelight danced in his eyes, reflecting a hint of amusement.

It was the first time he saw this witch, who stayed in the library all year round, showing such a strong side to outsiders.

"It's quite majestic~"

Just as he finished speaking with a somewhat teasing tone, Patchouli suddenly stopped at the corner of the corridor.

She tilted her head slightly, and her amethyst eyes glanced through the gold-rimmed glasses.

There was clearly anger and resentment in his eyes, as if he was silently accusing:

"Why did you bring such a troublemaker into my library?"

The loose hat swayed slightly as she shook her head, and the lace trim on the cuffs cast swaying shadows on the wall.

But in the end, she just snorted lightly, turned around and disappeared into the depths of the corridor, leaving only a series of faint coughs floating in the air.

------------

"boom--!"

A deafening roar tore through the night sky of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, shaking even the stained glass windows.

The ancient book in Toosaka Rin's hand flew up, drew a parabola in the air, and then fell heavily on the floor that Sakuya Izayoi had just wiped clean.

"What's going on! What's going on! Are the other contestants attacking?!"

Toosaka Rin suddenly jumped up from the sofa, a trace of panic flashing in her sapphire eyes.

She subconsciously looked at Zhou Yuan——

One of the nominal masters of the Scarlet Devil Mansion was looking towards the source of the sound with a frown on his face.

But then, he immediately turned his attention to Patchouli, the real controller of the Scarlet Devil Mansion's barrier.

The purple-haired witch was currently unfolding a complex magic circle, with countless runes flowing through her fingertips, emitting a faint purple light.

"What happened, Patchy?"

The light of the magic circle shone on Patchouli's delicate face. She frowned slightly, revealing a strange expression:

"Someone broke in from outside the barrier, but..."

Her voice gradually became more subtle,

"But rather than being attacked... I think she was more like being smashed in?"

As she tapped her finger, a surveillance image appeared in the magic circle—

A huge impact crater appeared in the center of the courtyard, and a blonde woman was lying at the bottom of the crater.

Surprisingly, her upper body was almost naked, but her lower body was a snake tail covered with emerald green scales. At this moment, Yamcha was lying motionless at the bottom of the pit, her life or death uncertain.

"This guy......"

Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and his voice suddenly rose:

"Wait, could it be——"

The image before him was so classic that he couldn't help but think of it as a mythical being.

"I don't think so..."

Patchouli interrupted his guess, and her slender fingers gently stroked the runes flowing on the edge of the magic circle.

"But I'm familiar with this scent."

Her amethyst eyes narrowed slightly.

"This guy is definitely a demon, I can be sure of that."

"Hmm? Lady Patchouli, you called me?"

The little devil suddenly poked his head out from behind the bookshelf, his pointed ears trembling slightly, thinking that his master was calling him.

"You heard wrong, little devil."

The witch shook her head, and her wide witch hat swayed slightly with the movement.

But then she seemed to remember something and suddenly called out to the little devil who was about to leave:

"Wait a minute! I actually have something to ask you."

The light screen of the magic circle turned to the little devil, and the figure with golden hair and snake tail was clearly visible in the picture.

"Do you know who this demon is?"

The little devil was confused at first, but after seeing the scene clearly, his expression instantly twisted -

His originally pale face became even paler, and his red pupils contracted violently.

"How, how could it be this vile bastard!?"

Her sharp voice was trembling, as if just seeing this figure made her feel uncomfortable.

“Little Evil God!!!”

Chapter 66: Tsk, Little Evil God (disgusted face)

"so…"

Zhou Yuan carefully chose his words, his eyes moving back and forth between the surveillance screen and the crowd.

He looked at the huge hole that had been smashed, and the motionless figure at the bottom of the hole, with a hint of hesitation in his tone:

"This guy...could he be dead?"

He saw the huge crater in the surveillance footage and was a little uncertain about the demon's condition.

"Ah!"

The little devil suddenly sneered, crossed his arms over his chest, and flapped his bat wings behind him twice in disgust.

Her shrill voice was filled with disgust:

"Don't worry, this guy won't die even if he's chopped into meat sauce."

As if to confirm her words, the blonde, snake-tailed demon in the picture suddenly twitched its fingers.

Then, the snake's tail covered with emerald green scales began to slowly wriggle, leaving a winding trail in the dust.

"Look!"

The little devil stamped his feet angrily.

"This annoying guy is playing dead again!"

Patchouli pushed her glasses up, and a cold light flashed across the lenses.

She looked at Zhou Yuan thoughtfully:

"Looks like we have to go and 'welcome' this uninvited guest."

There was a hint of helplessness in his tone, mixed with a hint of anticipation for a good show.

Just as Zhou Yuan was about to leave, he suddenly felt something was wrong and stopped in his tracks.

"Where's Remi?"

He looked around and realized that the vampire lady who usually had a strong sense of territory had not shown up yet.

With something as serious as the Scarlet Devil Mansion being invaded, she should have been the first one to rush out.

"Shouldn't she be more proactive than anyone else at a time like this?"

Patchouli shook her head slightly when she heard this, her long violet hair swaying slightly with her movements:

"Remi said she and Fran wanted to 'strengthen their sisterly bond' today..."

Her voice suddenly became subtle.

"He's probably busy in the basement right now?"

Having said that, the witch unconsciously adjusted her glasses, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes behind the lenses:

"I hope they can at least limit the damage to within three layers of the barrier this time..."

Her fingertips unconsciously stroked the cover of the ancient book, obviously recalling some unbearable past events -

For example, the east wing tower that was blown up when the sisters were "exchanging feelings" last time, or the rose garden that was razed to the ground the time before that.

The corners of Zhou Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he suddenly felt that the demon pretending to be dead in the courtyard was not so troublesome.

At least compared to the pair of vampire sisters with incredible destructive power, this uninvited guest seems... relatively controllable?

------------

"Hey, isn't Lily Ling here?"

The little evil god suddenly opened one eye stealthily, his azure vertical pupil rolling around as he looked around furtively.

Her emerald green snake tail twisted restlessly, leaving winding traces in the dust at the bottom of the pit.

Seeing that the figure that frightened her was not around, the cunning snake demon immediately became alert.

She sat up with a somersault, completely ignoring the mud on her upper body, and carelessly shook her long golden hair:

"Great! That violent guy isn't here!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that she was being watched by several people—
