Shoujo Grand Summoning

"Flan hates seeing Onee-chan being hurt the most."

Remilia's eyes wavered with guilt and she was deeply touched. Sakuya, Hong Meiling and Patchouli also turned mum.

They always thought she was crazy beyond redemption. They never tried to understand her.

They thought she couldn't form high-level thoughts and feel deep compassion.

They were wrong, very wrong.

Flan held Remilia in high regard.

Remilia released Gungnir as the red lightning faded into flaming particles.

Wu Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? Giving up so soon?"

"No, I am not giving up."

"Why are you laying your arms down then?"

Wu Yan questioned her.

"Beat me and take Flandre back by force, isn't that how it is?"

"But, Flan said."

Remilia looked bitter.

"She doesn't want to see us fight."

Remilia is willing to give up fighting and give up her animosity in light of Flan's feelings.

She never respected Flan's thoughts, now she knew better and could act on her new ideals.

Sakuya, Patchouli, and Hong Meiling looked at Wu Yan as if they had caught on to his ploy.

Wu Yan grinned.

"So, what did we learn? Flan's thoughts come first?"

Remilia was angry that she thought Wu Yan was mocking her.

"Stop staring at me, I am just saying you could use a little empathy."

Wu Yan pursed his lips.

"Well, at least you got my gist, you're smarter than that, thank god."

"Huh?"

Remilia furrowed her brows.

"What do you mean?"

"Wait, you don't know?"

Wu Yan sighed.

"Since we know we should ask Flan NICELY, it is up to her to decide if she wants to return or not. I can't decide for her nor can you."

"I..."

Wu Yan flew and landed near Flan.

"Onii-chan."

Flan tugged his sleeve.

"Flan."

He got down to eye level, rubbing her head, he asked her.

"Do you want to return to the Red Devil Mansion?"

They held their breaths.

Remilia wanted an answer, she was hopeful for a good reply.

"You saw it, your sister wanted you back so much she would dare fight me."

Wu Yan assured her.

"Do you think your sister would fight for you if she didn't care and just wanted to lock you up?"

Huh?

The four ladies couldn't believe it, Wu Yan was speaking on their behalf.

"If you don't want to go back, I won't force you. However, I want you to think hard about this."

Wu Yan rubbed her head again.

"Well, do you want to go home?"

"I..."

Flandre was conflicted. She mumbled softly after seeing the warmth on Wu Yan's smile.

"Flandre wants to live with Onee-chan again."

The other ladies were overjoyed to hear this.

"But."

Flan snapped them back from their elation.

"Flan wants Onii-chan here too. Onii-chan needs to come back with me."

"Me?"

Wu Yan gasped.

"Why him?"

The ladies wanted to know too.

"Huh?!"

Remilia stomped furiously.

"No way!"

"Why not?"

Flan pouted.

"Why are you leaving Onii-chan out?"

"I... This is because..."

Remilia can't find an excuse.

She can't exactly say she hates the man.

Plus, he did speak up on her behalf.

If she is being so petty with him then it would make her look totally uncool.

Remilia played the stubborn card.

"No means no!"

"Then Flan isn't coming back!"

Flan huffed again.

"No Onii-chan, no going home!"

"Flan!"

Remilia got angry again.

"Isn't Onee-chan, Patchouli, Sakuya, China, and Akuma enough for you?"

"Nope! Nope! Nope!"

Flan twisted her head in defiance, using the same stubborn card as her sister.

"Nobody can replace Onii-chan, not even Onee-chan."

"You little..."

Remilia sighed.

"Onii-chan."

Flan ignored Remilia before using her puppy eyes on Wu Yan.

"Please come live with Flan in the Red Devil mansion?"

"Living there..."

Wu Yan scratched his cheeks.

"I paid Reimu for a lodging there. We only stayed one night there, so..."

"Onii-chan!"

Flan changed expression to one of slight anger. It's amazing how fast she can change emotions.

"Okay, jeez..."

"You heard the lady, boss of Red Devil mansion, do you want to disappoint your sister again?"

Remilia sighed.

"Sheesh! Suit yourselves!"

"Yeah! Awesome!"

Flan jumped into Wu Yan's hug.

Patchouli and Sakuya gathered near Remilia. They were also helpless but they accepted this outcome.

"Sakuya!"

Remilia cleared her throat.

"Invite some guests, we are eating a feast tonight to celebrate Flan's return."

"Okay, ojou-sama!"

Remilia is annoyed when she sees Wu Yan pulling Flandre's cheeks.

"Flan! Let's go home!"

"Kay!"

Flan grabbed Wu Yan's hand as she led him to Remilia's side.

Only Hong Meiling gave Wu Yan curious glances, the rest ignored him.

Patchouli waited behind so that when Wu Yan passed her, she could ask him a question.

"Did you do this to show Flan how Remilia wanted her back? You also vented Flan's frustration without requiring her to fight Remilia, right?"

"You're free to assume whatever."

Wu Yan winked at her.

"I also gained something from the fight."

Wu Yan had a ruby-like gem floating near his other hand, hidden from view of the others.
