Holding the object in her palm, Remilia raised an eyebrow.
It was a neatly trimd white paper doll, with no writing, but its spiritual energy surprised Remilia. Such spirit-based objects were rare in this world.
She wasn't unfamiliar with these in her previous world; Onmyoji relied on spirit and curses. Though unrelated to vampires, arriving in the East ant she had to acknowledge them.
Even if the world had few Onmyoji left, their descendants retained so power, enough for Remilia to notice.
In Gensokyo, both Reimu and Sanae used spirit manipulation as main combat.
"Rare to see a shikigami…"
Speaking of shikigami, Remilia rembered the fox of the Yakumo family.
Yakumo Ran… Once feared, but now different.
A re nine-tailed fox. I, Lady Remilia could now pin you down and beat you.
Even your master wouldn't faze .
The one who should be afraid was her…
After all, Remilia thought that if she fought Yukari, Gensokyo might be destroyed.
Following her instincts, Remilia's gaze fell on a shaded area.
Under a tree, a tall girl with a single ponytail and another short-haired girl ca into view.
Is it them? Remilia watched as they panicked and tried to hide upon noticing her gaze. No killing intent or malice—only fear.
So, these girls approached knowing her identity?
Good. Ti for so mischief. Perhaps she could vent so frustration.
Thinking this, Remilia walked slowly toward them.
Seeing her approach, the two froze.
It was hard to tell if it was just their imagination, but the crowds around them were gradually disappearing.
This was the barrier Ren had taught Remilia to use for combat—a convenient way to disperse idle bystanders. It had to be said, it was very effective. The only annoying part… was that even when the bystanders were dispersed, anything that needed to be destroyed would still get destroyed.
This was also why Remilia tended to cause more damage every night rather than simply increasing casualties.
"This… is a… barrier!"
In an instant, the two girls sensed the abnormality around them, panic flickering across their faces.
Before they could react further, Remilia appeared right in front of them, holding sothing in her hand. An intense sense of pressure radiated from her.
"This… is your doing, isn't it? Are you trying to spy on ?"
Especially when she said the last line, the oppressive aura from Remilia made the surrounding air seem to freeze.
The two girls imdiately turned pale. Even so, the short-haired girl summoned her courage and spoke.
"Please forgive our offense. This is our first eting, Fourth Primogenitor. We are Hiragi Yukina, the Sword Shaman, and Sayaka Kirasaka, the Shamanic War Dancer, representing the Lion King Organization to establish a friendly relationship with you!"
"Friendly relationship? Are you sure this isn't just so surveillance sche—like soone being too dangerous, so you have to monitor their actions and imdiately eliminate any perceived threats…?"
Remilia's eyes narrowed slightly as her gaze fell on what they carried on their backs.
If her senses were correct, they were carrying weapons, one of which radiated a familiar aura. It must be the Holy Spear used to awaken Avrora. Only three of those existed in the world; it wasn't unusual for the Lion King Organization to possess one.
For a young girl to co holding that while spying on her, the implication was obvious.
Remilia's expression gradually turned dangerous.
"It's not like that, Fourth Primogenitor. This eting was permitted only with the consent of Mr. Ren accompanying you. We truly are only here to establish friendly relations."
Yukina's face was anxious, her speech unusually fast.
Remilia, however, paused for a mont, her previous intensity disappearing.
In an instant, both Yukina and Sayaka felt a sudden lightness in their bodies. Their pale faces gradually returned to normal as the atmosphere shifted.
"You had that man's permission? What is he up to… or rather…"
Remilia's expression shifted as if she was realizing sothing strange. Ophis, Avrora, Nagisa, Kanon… and now two more?
So the organization had sent these two girls with Ren's consent.
Understanding this, Remilia's expression softened slightly with a trace of sympathy. "Truly pitiful and sad…"
Judging by their age, they had probably been raised by the organization from childhood, sent forward like sacrificial offerings before even having a chance to live their own lives.
Remilia shook her head, no longer in the mood to scare these fledgling children.
At this mont, the two girls' faces were full of unease. Though they had paper knowledge of the Fourth Primogenitor's temperant, nothing compared to seeing her in person. Saying the wrong thing could be disastrous.
Remilia spoke softly, "Hey, do you two have any money on you?"
The girls blinked, not understanding at first.
"Yes, the Lion King Organization provides us with a monthly activity fund."
"I see. Then co with ! I've been tasked by a petty witch to go grocery shopping, and since you were sent to befriend , today's expenses will be yours. Co tonight for dinner and et everyone. My little sister enjoys making friends, so play so gas with her properly."
Yukina and Sayaka instantly turned pale.
When the Lion King Organization collected information on them, they would have received dossiers on their subordinates. Flandre's public profile indicated extre danger: outwardly innocent, but prone to equate gas with lethal force, capable of obliterating things.
Seeing the sudden fear on the two girls' faces, Remilia tilted her head slightly.
What was going on? Why had they suddenly beco so intimidated? She had completely forgotten how ferocious Flandre could be!
Incidentally, the beastman Flandre had ruined at the Blazing Banquet had already been admitted to a psychiatric hospital.
