Chapter 1712: Spection, asking, and advice


    In the human vige.


    "Excuse me..."


    n tugged the sleeve of an aunty who was out buying groceries.


    "Have you seen n''s brother?"


    "n''s brother?"


    The aunty gasped.


    "Who is n''s brother?"


    "n''s onii-chan is..."


    n continued."Onii-chan is n''s onii-chan."


    The aunty bitterlyughed as if she understood the situation.


    "Sorry, missy, I can''t help you find n''s brother."


    "Oh..."


    n is slightly saddened but she continued to g down another passerby.


    "I am sorry, have you seen n''s Onii-chan?"


    "Who is that?"


    "n''s Onii-chan..."


    "..."


    Patchouli, Remilia, and Sakuya followed n but they didn''t intervene. They watched over her as she continued seeking for clues on her brother.


    n is still acting like a normal kid at her mental age. She isn''t someone who would kill indiscriminately now.


    With her current method, it would be a miracle if she could find Onii-chan like this.


    "Sakuya and Patchouli."


    Remilia clenched her fists.


    "Does n look strangely normal to you?"


    "Youngdy."


    Sakuya is also happy to see this but she could read the anxiety on Remilia''s face.


    "The second Ojou-sama is normal, it would appear..."


    "Is that so?"


    Remilia is happy to see this too.


    "That means we don''t have to lock her up anymore, right?"


    "I..."


    Sakuya was cut off by Patchouli.


    "We can''t confirm it yet."


    "Patchouli-sama."


    Sakuya gasped.


    "Patchouli."


    Remilia was nervous.


    "What do you mean by that?"


    "It is evident."


    patchouli continued.


    "She is still a kid in mentality. We can''t be sure yet."


    Patchouli warned.


    "And, she is talking about a brother we don''t know, can''t you see the problem in this?"


    Anyone would be shocked to see a rtive who is always kept in the house, suddenly talking about a brother they''ve never met.


    Something must have happened to n.


    It is also likely the reason why she overcame her vampiric weaknesses.


    "Patchouli, you don''t mean..."


    Remilia stuttered.


    "Someone sneaked into the mansion without our knowledge and interacted with n?"


    "I don''t think it is normal interaction."


    Patchouli nodded.


    "He has likely spent a lot of time to cure her weaknesses and teach her maturity."


    "Patchouli-sama, there are few who could bypass our detection."


    Sakuya frowned.


    "Even among them, I highly doubt there is anyone who knows so much about vampires and healing that he could cure vampiric weaknesses."


    Remilia and Patchouli stayed silent.


    If someone could do this, Remilia would have begged for that person toe.


    Even if she had to kneel, it was better than locking her younger sister up for 495 years.


    "It is useless to specte."


    Patchouli looked at n.


    "We should get the clues from Imouto-sama and help her."


    "Ojou-sama, it would be better to do so."


    "Since the second Ojou-sama appears to have been in frequent contact with this "onii-chan" guy, we should be able to get some clues if we ask her."


    Remilia acquiesced with a nod.


    "True."


    Remilia grabbed n''s hand.


    "n."


    "What is it, onee-chan?"


    n turned around with a pout.


    "n is noting back without Onii-chan."


    "You..."


    "Remi!"


    Patchouli approached after sighing.


    "Let me do this."


    Remilia tried to intervene.


    "Imouto-sama."


    Patchouli got down to eye level.


    "Can you tell me who is this Onii-chan?"


    "n already exined."


    n feels that they''re just buying time and dying her work.


    "Onii-chan is onii-chan!"


    "We won''t understand if that''s your only clue."


    Patchouli patiently urged her to go on.


    "Give us more to work on, we can help locate your onii-chan."


    n''s eyes lit up.


    "Everyone''s going to help me find Onii-chan?"


    Remilia is a little jealous that n is this giddy over the prospect of meeting Onii-chan.


    "Is that Onii-chan more important than her sister?"


    "Imouto-sama, tell us, is there anything special about Onii-chan? Maybe we can try finding based on that?"


    Patchouli thought about it.


    "Okay, what does Onii-chan look like?"


    n gave it a serious thought, she tilted her head with a serious look.


    "Onii-chan has the same eyes as n."


    "Same eyes?"


    Remilia and Sakuya noted down the red eyes they had while thinking about the possible candidates in Gensokyo.


    "And?"


    "And..."


    n bit her thumb.


    "The same smell as n!"


    "Same smell?"


    Remilia and Sakuya flinched. Patchouli also couldn''t stop this revtion from surprising herself.


    "Okay, what do you mean by that?"


    "Mnn..."


    n couldn''t wrap her head around the concept.


    "Onii-chan said that n and him are of the same type of... Existence?"


    "Same existence."


    Sakuya, Patchouli, and Remilia exchanged curious looks.


    "Yes."


    n yelled out as she recalled something important.


    "Onii-chan said that he is the True Ancestor of vampires."


    "What was that?!"


    The trio couldn''t stop but be agitated.


    "That cannot be. The True Ancestors are extinct."


    "Gosh!"


    n pouted.


    "You think n is lying?"


    "No... But..."


    "Okay, Remi..."


    Patchouli shushed Remilia.


    "Imouto-sama,e back to the Red Devil Mansion with us."


    "No!"


    n got stubborn.


    "I am going to find Onii-chan."


    "Exactly, we can do that there."


    Patchouli exined.


    "We have a lot of books back home. We can find more details and clues if we carefully read the contents there, don''t you think so?"


    "I..."


    n isn''t sure about this.


    "Are you guys really going to help n find Onii-chan?"


    Patchouli and Sakuya nodded. Meanwhile, Remilia turned her head to the side with slight annoyance.


    n nodded.


    "Okay..."


    Remilia, Patchouli, and Sakuya sighed in relief.
