Chapter 1716: Problem? Toote?


    Gensokyo, Hakurei Shrine.


    The sudden departure of Wu Yan & co left the shrine door open in such a state that any petty thief would be able to gain easy entry.


    There are thieves here. The ck and white witch from before, a certain ratdy whos inclinations are still ambiguous, those are just examples of petty thieves.


    However, Hakurei Shrine is a bad ce to try one’s thief skills. That is because the offerings here are few to none and there is a strong guardian here. Even a petty thief wouldn’t waste her time here.


    Except for Marisa, of course.


    A cold gust entered the Shrine through the ajar door.


    <em>Vrmmm</em>


    In a sh, 1 guy and 2dies appeared out of a portal.


    The haggarddy in red fell on the floor with her butt cushioning the impact for her.“You… Jerk…”


    Reimu red daggers into Wu Yan.


    “You broke my offerings box, made me burn my tongue, drenched me in water, and caused a misunderstanding between Marisa and I. You then proceeded to force me into showing you the Red Devil Mansion and made me clean up your mess. Now, you threw me to the floor in my own shrine? You’re picking a fight, eh?”


    “That’s a misunderstanding.”


    Wu Yan raised his eyebrows with n in his arms.


    “The offerings box was an ident, you were dowsed in water because you overreacted to the burned tongue. Marisa did the mental homework herself when she saw us. I took you to Red Devil Mansion before ndre flipped out and caused further chaos. Oh, I didn’t mean for you to fall when you returned.”


    “Huh?! You im innocence?!”


    Reimu wanted to smack this walking ill omen into oblivion.


    “Wait, how did you know Remilia and ndre would flip out?”


    “Well, it’s like this.”


    Wu Yan exined to Reimu while rubbing n’s messy hair.


    “Remilia is a massive siscon, when I was being chummy with ndre, I knew she would go berserk.”


    “Siscon?”


    n asked.


    “What’s Siscon?”


    “It’s a terrifying yet respectable lifeform.”


    Wu Yan taught her.


    “Those who really really love their sisters are siscons.”


    “Nee-san likes me?”


    ndre puffed her cheeks.


    “Then, she’s not a siscon.”


    Wu Yan asked amused.


    “Why not?”


    “Because Nee-chan doesn’t care about n.”


    “Silly girl…”


    Wu Yan shook his head.


    “How would you know? Your sister probably kept her feelings well hidden.”


    “She wouldn’t lock me in the basement if she loved me!”


    n protested.


    “She hates me for sure!”


    “Don’t say it like that.”


    Wu Yan pinched her cheeks.


    “They say love and hate are just two sides of the same coin. She probably locked you up because she was afraid you might be hurt if you keep ‘ying’ with other humans.”


    “Is it?”


    n was doubting herself.


    “Would Onii-chan lock n up in the basement because he loves me?”


    “If I did, I would lock myself in with you.”


    Wu Yan beamed at her.


    “Would you still be afraid?”


    “With Onii-chan… Hmm…”


    n smiled.


    “n won’t be afraid if that’s the case!”


    Wu Yan is also happy to see that n is cheerful again. Reimu gasped when she saw n’s reaction.


    “I didn’t think you would defend Remilia after her provocations.”


    “I am not defending her.”


    Wu Yan shrugged.


    “Just stating facts.”


    “I don’t care, just don’t give me more trouble.”


    Reimu is annoyed.


    “An entire day wasted because of you. I lost 2 years of energy through a single day’sbor.”


    “I am not sure if you’re joking or not.”


    Wu Yan’s lips twitched.


    “You sound like you don’t move much.”


    “None of your business.”


    Reimu scoffed.


    “Is she going to be okay now that you brought n out?”


    Reimu knows about n’s mind.


    She doesn’t want to clean up the mess of ndre’s rampage.


    “Rx.”


    Seeing as ndre was yawning, Wu Yan patted her back while holding her in a soft cradle.


    “n’s hatred was resolved, she won’t be an issue for you all anymore.”


    “Really?”


    Reimu red at him.


    “Why did you tell Remilia toe fetch her here? You trying to start something at my shrine?”


    “Yeah, I need to spend some time with ndre to calm her down more.”


    Wu Yan bitterlyughed.


    “For now, she stays with me. When she is better, I will return her to the Red Devil Mansion.”


    “This is your first day here, don’t create more problems for me.”


    Reimu warned him again.


    “Marisa is already trouble enough, I don’t need one more.”


    “Hey, don’t be so cold.”


    Wu Yan chuckled.


    “After all, we are going to spend so much time together.”


    Reimu’s eyelids twitched.


    “Wh-what do you mean?”


    “Exactly what it means.”


    Wu Yan exined.


    “I want to stay here.”


    “Stay?”


    Reimu gasped in disbelief.


    “No way.”


    “Yes way.”


    Wu Yan nodded.


    “I want to stay here.”


    “No!”


    Reimu is adamant about this.


    “No way!”


    “Hey, you’re the miko.”


    Wu Yan felt speechless.


    “I am homeless, the least you could do is let me stay for a while, right?”


    “I don’t want you here, you’re going to mess up my peaceful life.”


    Reimu said.


    “There is no argument to be made here.”


    “Oh?”


    Wu Yan grinned.


    “Don’t decide so soon.”


    Wu Yan tossed a bag onto a nearby table.


    <em>ng cling ng</em>


    The bag’s contents spilled out.


    Reimu’s eyes lit up the moment she saw the bag’s contents. Her expression froze.


    That bag was a bag of gold coins.
