"Negative Explosion" Chapter 2 is out!!!

Chapter 2 “A Loyal Maid and an Assistant”

My heart feels like stopping for a few second, chills running down on my back. I slowly turn to the one who’s grabbing my hand. A girl with short silver hair and maid uniform is glaring sharply at me.

“Say your business here! Or I’ll STAB you death”

The maid let loose her grabbing, but she then draw a short knife and point it at me. Oh crap, I’ve been found by some troublesome person...
I quickly lunged and make some gap between us.

“Please put your knife down Sakuya. I don’t want to fight or steal anything here, just want to do some little investigation here.  There is an explosion here right?”

Luckily, Sakuya put her knife down. She’s always cold and strict to every people. Well, I don’t really mind about her attitude. Being a head maid in vampire mansion while she herself is a human is really frightening. Her full name is Sakuya Izayoi, she ever says that she doesn’t know her real name and she got that name from her mistress. She’s skilled with knife throwing and power to manipulate time and space. I ever fight her one on one. Her power to manipulate time and space is very dangerous, making wrong step means you’re dead stabbed by many knives.

“…I see…then, please follow me. I will escort you to my mistress. But first….”

Suddenly, Sakuya draw a knife and throw it at Meiling’s head. The knife stab her Green Beret hat and making a small hole at it. Meiling waking up in instant and she is falling from her wooden chair.

“Ouch! Who dares to wake me up while I’m taking a na- Uh…oh…”

“Hmmm? You have something to say right? Go on and say it, after that I’ll STAB YOU TO DEATH!!!”

“Eeekk….!! Forgive me Miss Sakuya. I..I just rest for a while. Please believe me! It’s true!”

“Do you think I will take on your silly excuse? Like hell I will! Now, prepare yourself!”

“EEEEEEKKKKKK…!”

About ten or more knives are appear out of nowhere and stab Meiling until she collapsed into the ground making a huge thud sound.

“Sorry to make you wait, now let’s go shall we?”

“Well…Yeah, I guess…”

Poor Meiling, luckily she’s a Youkai so she can regenerate for a while*.

The hallway of the mansion is very huge. There are a few candles that light our way and we walk along the hallway’s red carpet. Weird, there aren’t any maid fairies who always keep this mansion clean. I guess the explosion make them quiet busy.

After walking around five minutes, we are arriving in front of a big door that carved by some rose shape. I can feel demonic aura just by standing in front of it. Sakuya knock the door lightly.

“Mistress, the Hakurei miko* wants to meet you”

“Make her come in…”  A young girl voice coming from inside.

Sakuya slowly open the door and go inside. I tag her along and go inside. Inside the room, Sakuya bow deeply at a young girl wearing a pink gown and a pink poofy hat. She has a short blue hair and a pair of black bat wing at her back. The bat girl is sipping a cup of red tea and then turned to our direction. I can see her scarlet color eyes and her sharp teeth which she always uses to suck human blood. This girl name is Remilia Scarlet a vampire and the mistress of Sakuya plus the owner of Scarlet Devil Mansion. Even if she looks like a 10 years old girl, but in the fact she’s around 500 years old. She has a little sister name’s Flandre Scarlet.

“Good to see you today, Reimu. Please sit down”

“Sorry Remilia, I don’t have much time. I just want to ask you about the explosion that occure in your mansion”

“Oh I see. You can ask Patchy about that, she’s in her library cleaning the mess caused by the explosion”

“Okay, I’ll go there”

“Wait, I want to go there too. It’s easier to discuss something with her if I was there right? Sakuya, you come with us”

“Yes mistress, with pleasure”

We left the room and quickly walk to the Voile Library. Sakuya walk in the front followed by Remilia and I. The library is in the basement near Flandre’s room, it purposely built there in case to prevent Flandre for going crazy. She’s not mentally stable and has the power to destroy everything she wants to destroy. I hope she never cause any rampage again. If she goes nuts, even the entire mansion won’t be able to stop her. Marisa is the only one who can stop her. She’s really fond of Marisa, maybe it because Marisa beat her in Danmaku fight.

After a few minutes, we are arriving in the library, it is a very huge room filled with many bookshelves. Each bookshelf is full of thick book that written with a language that I can’t understand. The library is dusty and dark. Only a few candle light our way.

“Oh! Mistress Remilia, Miss Sakuya, is there anything that I can help with?”

A girl appears from nearby bookshelf. She’s carrying 6 or 7 thick book with her two hands and put them in the floor so she can bow to Remilia and Sakuya. This girl is Koakuma, often called Koa. She’s a succubus* plus the personal assistant of Patchouli, the library owner. Koa wearing a red tie in her neck and a black long dress. Her hair is long and res, she has a pair of small wing in her back and a pair of horn that resemble her black wing but much smaller.

“Koa, please escort us to Patchouli. We have to discuss something to her”

“Sure Mistress Remilia, she’s quiet sensitive now, so be careful not to piss her off now. The explosion really gives her a lot of trouble.”

I really have a bad feeling here. The succubus picks the books that she put in the floor before and escorts us until reaching the center of the library. There is one big table full of thick dusty book and a candle at the center of the table. Patchouli Knowledge, the owner of this Voile Library is reading a book in that table. She wears frilly purple night gown and a purple poofy hat. Her hair is long purple and tied with two colored ribbon in the left and right.

“Lady Patchouli, I have brought you the books that you want. There are guest for you too”

The purple girl takes a glimpse to us and then sighed.

“*cough* Thanks Koa. Remi, Sakuya why is that red-white shrine maiden is here? *cough*“

Ugh, I really hate being called red-white. Koa pat Patchouli’s back because she’s coughing a lot. Well, Patchouli is a powerful magician who mastered all elemental magic, but she has weak body. It must be because she always locked herself in this dark and dusty library.

“Hey! Don’t call me red-white! I’m just here only to ask you about that stupid explosion in this mansion”

Good, because of that red-white thing now I’m losing my temper. Patchouli widens her eyes, she put her book down and she glared at me.

“That explosions ? I take a LOT of time to repair the damaged in my library! If I can catch the one who caused this, I SWEAR I’LL BURN HIM/HER INTO ASHES! *cough* *cough*”

“Lady Patchouli, please calm down” Koakuma pat Patchouli’s back again when the magician started to cough continuously.

Suddenly, Patchouli draws a card and shouts.
