There was a cold anger in her sweet voice.
"It's not the turn of outsiders to interfere~"
The atmosphere in the library suddenly became tense, and the surging magic made the air thick.
Zhou Yuan's gaze quickly turned to the bound Marisa, carefully looking at this magician who always had a playful smile on her face.
(So this guy is also a Master...)
He frowned slightly,
(But why didn't I notice her Command Seal?)
Patchouli seemed to see through his doubts, and a hint of understanding flashed in her amethyst eyes.
She elegantly adjusted her messy cuffs, her voice returning to its usual calmness.
"Look at her neck..."
The witch's slender fingertips gently touched her collarbone, and a meaningful arc appeared at the corner of her lips:
"I never thought that this black and white mouse who steals books all day long would actually be a participant in this Holy Grail War."
She narrowed her eyes and looked at Marisa's skin that was squeezed by the rope.
"The Command Seal is hidden in such a...private place?"
Following Patchouli's words, Zhou Yuan finally noticed——
Beneath Marisa's disheveled collar, a few bright red lines could be faintly seen.
Those complex magic engravings spread along the collarbone to the chest, emitting an eerie luster in the moonlight.
It was previously tightly covered by the loose witch costume, but now it is revealed because of the struggle and restraint.
"Woo!"
Marisa suddenly twisted violently, her gagged mouth making a muffled sound of protest, and a rare flash of panic in her golden eyes.
She seemed reluctant to have these marks seen, and an unnatural blush appeared on her fair cheeks.
Patchouli snorted softly, her wide sleeves moving without wind:
"No wonder he came uninvited this time to steal books..."
A sharp light flashed in her purple eyes.
"I'm afraid you want to get information about the Holy Grail War from me?"
At this critical moment, Musashi suddenly shouted:
"Hey, hey! Stop staring at other people's Masters!"
She slashed the tangled chains with the two swords in her hands, and her clogs made a crisp sound on the floor.
"Marisa-sama, I will—"
"Stop it!"
A majestic voice suddenly came from the door of the library.
Remlia's scarlet eyes flashed dangerously in the darkness, and the silver-haired head maid stood respectfully beside her.
The entire space seemed to be instantly shrouded in an invisible pressure, and even the flying pages of the book were frozen in mid-air.
(This is really... too much excitement...)
Zhou Yuan sighed in his heart, looking at the explosive situation in front of him, and suddenly missed the "relatively" peaceful night a few minutes ago.
Chapter 86 Marisa: You two evil couple... woooo!
"This guy is as reckless as his Master."
Patchouli shook her head slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing in her amethyst eyes.
Her wide sleeves swayed slightly with her movements, casting flickering shadows in the candlelight.
"Not only were they unaware of the enemy's strength, but they also misjudged their own strength and charged directly towards the enemy's base camp."
The witch's voice was a little sarcastic, and her fingertips gently stroked the gilded spine of the magic book.
She looked at the warrior girl in front of her, a mocking arc appearing at the corner of her lips.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuan also looked at the uninvited guest again.
The girl's long light pink hair was casually tied behind her head, and the ends of her hair playfully lifted up as she moved.
The dark blue haori was wrapped around his body in a slightly messy manner, and the simple kendo uniform underneath could be vaguely seen.
The most eye-catching thing is the double swords in her hands——
One is long and the other is short, and the scabbards are wrapped with worn knots, obviously having experienced many battles.
The warrior girl, who was surrounded, was surprisingly cheerful.
She blinked her blue eyes, and suddenly sheathed her two swords with a clean and neat movement.
"Alright, alright, Musashi will put away his sword now!"
She raised her hands in surrender, a harmless smile on her face, and rubbed her clogs lightly on the floor.
"After all, my Master is in your hands. I suppose we can talk?"
Although he said this, his bright eyes were rolling around, and he was obviously thinking of something.
Musashi secretly thought—
Since force can't solve the problem, let's try to outsmart it!
She remembered Marisa saying that the owner of the Scarlet Devil Mansion loved interesting stories and games the most.
Patchouli narrowed her eyes, and the jeweled hair ornaments in her purple hair gleamed with a cold light.
She was very familiar with this expression - Marisa always looked like this when she was about to do something tricky.
"Oh?"
Zhou Yuan's expression was filled with curiosity.
"How do you want to talk?"
Just as Musashi was about to speak, the bound Marisa suddenly began to writhe and thrash, a warning gleaming in her golden eyes.
But the samurai girl just winked at her Master and gave her a reassuring smile.
"I want to talk to the owner of this Scarlet Devil Mansion~"
Musashi raised her head, her light pink ponytail swaying gently with her heroic movements, the ends of her hair glowing warmly in the candlelight.
She looked fearlessly at Remlia, who was floating in the air. The majestic figure of the Queen of Night was reflected in her azure eyes, and a smile as bright as the sun bloomed on her face.
"I guess it's you, Miss Remlia~"
In an instant, time in the entire library seemed to be paused.
Everyone's eyes were focused on a certain vampire lady, and even the tied-up Marisa forgot to struggle.
Remlia's scarlet eyes narrowed slightly, and a meaningful arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She gracefully flapped the bat wings behind her, dark red magic flowing around the edges of the wings, but she did not directly respond to the warrior girl's request. Instead, she turned her gaze to Zhou Yuan who was standing beside her.
"I think your information is out of date."
The Queen of the Night's voice was as mellow as aged red wine, with a hint of playfulness lingering in it.
She slowly floated to Zhou Yuan's side, and her slender hands wrapped in black lace gloves affectionately embraced his neck, her pointed fangs faintly visible between her lips.
"There's more than one master of the Scarlet Devil Mansion now."
"Let me introduce a certain golden-haired thief whom I haven't seen for a long time—"
She deliberately dragged out the tone, and the bat wings behind her fully spread out in a demonstrative manner, forming a gorgeous background behind Zhou Yuan.
"This is my and Fran's common fiancé, the future head of the Scarlet Devil Mansion—Zhou Yuan!"
With this announcement, the still time began to flow again.
The candle flame suddenly shot up, and the pages of the book fell to the ground with a clatter.
Marisa's eyes widened in shock, and the silencing ball in her mouth almost fell out;
Musashi's smile froze on his face, as if he was stunned by his mistake again.
Patchouli silently held her forehead with her hand, her amethyst-like eyes filled with helplessness of "it happens again".
Zhou Yuan froze in place, feeling the cold touch on his neck and the burning gazes from all directions. He suddenly hoped that the ground would crack so that he could crawl into it.
------------
"N-Nani!"
Miyamoto Musashi was so startled that he took a step back, and his wooden clogs made a crisp sound on the floor.
"The information is actually outdated!"
The samurai girl scratched her light pink ponytail in annoyance, and the hem of her Jinhaori fluttered with her exaggerated movements.
But compared to her shock, the reaction of a certain black and white mouse that was tied up like a dumpling was even more intense—
With a "puff" sound, Marisa spat out the silence ball in her mouth with all her strength, and her golden pupils contracted violently.
"What?!!!"
She twisted her body wildly like a fish out of water, and the magic rope tightened as she struggled, perfectly outlining her graceful curves that were usually hidden under the loose witch costume.
Hands wrapped in black lace gloves grasped the rope in vain, and the star ornament on the brim of his hat jingled.
"Fiancé?! And with Fran?!!!"
Marisa's voice suddenly rose an octave, causing even the ceiling chandelier to vibrate.
She stared at Zhou Yuan in disbelief, then looked at Remlia's hand around his neck, and finally her gaze fell on the Command Seal on her chest, her expression as if she had swallowed a whole frog.
"Etc., etc!"
She shouted incoherently,
"That little girl who keeps saying 'Let's play together until we break down' is actually..."
Before she could finish her words, a scarlet beam of magic whizzed past the tip of her nose and blasted a charred hole in the wall.
Remlia narrowed her eyes dangerously, and the bat wings behind her fully extended:
"Watch your words, Miss Thief~"
Marisa shrank her neck, but then stiffened it again and shouted:
"Then you should explain it clearly! When did it happen? How come I don't know about it?"
Patchouli held her forehead helplessly, her amethyst-like eyes filled with fatigue that said, "I knew it would be like this."
Her slender fingers tapped lightly on the bookshelf, and several thick ancient magic books automatically flew back to their original places.
"Be quiet, you noisy rat..."
The witch's voice was filled with weariness.
"Do you want the entire Scarlet Devil Mansion to hear you yelling?"
Musashi had come to her senses by now. She bent down to pick up the fallen scabbard, and her signature bright smile returned to her face.
"Oh my, this is really..."
She winked mischievously.
"What an unexpected surprise~"
Zhou Yuan held his forehead helplessly, feeling Remlia's cold fingertips on his neck, and the shocked or amusement glances from all directions.
He cleared his throat awkwardly.
"Um...how about we untie Marisa first...?"
"no!"
Remlia and Patchouli shouted in unison.
