Shoujo Grand Summoning

Chapter 1721: The guard and the maid of the Red Devil mansion

Gensokyo, Red Devil mansion.

In the early hours of the morning, the dense fog that formed at the base of the Youkai mountain washed over the mansion like the fog of a certain horror novel.

As the cold wind blew, the waves of fog blurred the mansion’s view from an external perspective, it made the mansion look like a mirage among the fog.

Vrmmm

A portal appeared near the mansion.

The portal opened as two individuals popped out from the portal.

Pat

They landed lightly on the ground.

Wu Yan looked up with Flan in his arms. He admired the mansion’s height and size.

The Red Devil mansion looks like it would dissipate along with the fog when morning came.

It looked like a haunted castle.

Flan was annoyed to be here.

“Do we really have to come back here?”

Flan still didn’t like the idea that she might be back in the basement room.

Flan wanted to tour Gensokyo with Wu Yan. She didn’t think she would be back here after a day.

Wu Yan assured her.

“This is your home, Flan, don’t tell me you don’t want to go home?”

“Yeah…”

Flan murmured.

“Flan doesn’t want to go home yet.”

“Hey, your nee-chan is going to be sad to hear that.”

Wu Yan said.

“Serves her right.”

Flan puffed her cheeks.

“Bad girls get punished, she has been bad.”

“Jeez.”

Wu Yan shook his head.

“Does Flan really not want to see your sister?”

Flan was stumped for words.

“See? You want to come back and live with Nee-chan, right?”

Wu Yan rubbed her head.

“Okay, enough selfish words.”

“Oh…”

Flan is still struggling with her longing and frustration.

Wu Yan approached the main door.

Flan and Wu Yan could see the mansion becoming bigger as they got nearer.

They could see a clock tower, ivy-filled walls, and the Red mansion befitting its name.

They also saw a cold metallic gate in front.

The mansion is calmer now than yesterday.

It looked mysterious, stern, and anomalous.

Wu Yan wanted to open the door when…

“Halt!”

Someone ordered him to stop.

A figure jumped up from the other side of the gate. She somersaulted down near Wu Yan.

If he hadn’t dodged she would have landed on his face.

Wu Yan evaded that landing.

Bam

A lady with flaming red hair and a Qipao-themed dress introduced herself. She looked like a character from a Chinese wuxia novel.

Hong MeiLing: Level 75

“This is the Red Devil Mansion.”

Hong told them off.

“Unauthorized personnel are not allowed entry.”

Hong MeiLing recognized Flan with an excited look.

“Second Ojou-sama.”

“Meiling!”

Flan waved her hand.

“I am back, Meiling!”

“Ojou-sama!”

She grabbed her hand before jumping up and down.

“You’re finally back!”

Wu Yan smiled when he recognized the genuine joy on Hong Meiling’s face.

This martial practitioner-looking lady is actually the guard here. However, her low position belied her abilities.

She is an important figure here.

Other than Remilia, patchouli, and Sakuya, she is the fourth individual in the same tier of powers as them.

She is the first and a formidable line of defense for the mansion.

However, she is a poor guard as she would always nap on the job. This resulted in a certain black and white witch sneaking into the mansion to steal books.

She is also very friendly with Flan.

She is one of the few who isn't afraid of Flan's power. She would sometimes play with Flan behind Remilia's orders.

She immediately greeted Flan because she missed her.

"Uuu..."

Hong Meiling started crying out of nowhere.

"Me-Meiling."

Flan rubbed her head.

"What's wrong?"

"Ojou-sama, why did you run off yesterday?"

She grumbled.

"Sakuya kept blaming me and docked 10 years of my pay!"

Fwoosh

A silver light shot out as the knife nailed her hat to a nearby pillar.

"A commensurate payment for all the time you've slacked off on the job."

A tall figure appeared near the gate too.

"China (sakuya's term for hong Meiling), did I just hear you tattling to the second Ojou-sama?"

"Sakuya-san."

Hong mewled weakly.

"I am Hong Meiling, not China..."

Alas, Sakuya has no time for her.

"Welcome to the Red Devil Mansion."

She bowed as if he wasn't an enemy, but a guest of the mansion.

"Please come along, Ojou-sama is waiting for you inside."
