Well, I didn't have time to do a Halloween special, anyway, the following story contains characters that belong to Touhou Project, created by ZUN.
Keys:
(Y/n): Your name.
(L/n): Last name.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A young man was walking through the streets, wondering which video game to buy as he counted the money in his wallet. He had recently saved money in order to buy a new video game. He organized himself from the day before, in this way, in the morning he got up with all the spirit, got dressed, took a backpack, put his wallet in his pocket and went to the video game store.
He entered the place, he went to the category of his favorite type of game (platforms, puzzle, hitman, racing, shooter, whatever you want) and after a meticulous process to discard options, he finally chose the video game he wanted, he quickly took it at the register, he paid, put it in his backpack and left the store.
On his way back home, he wondered how many hours of fun he would have. Day off, no homework, no job, just him and his video game, and maybe some snacks.
(Y/n): Man, I feel great, nothing I mean nothing can ruin a wonderful day like this!
At that, something completely unexpected happened in front of him, it was as if reality was distorting, opening a strange gap from which a beautiful blonde-haired lady peeked out.
Yukari: Are you sure about that?
And below (Y/n) another gap opened, making him fall into a dark plane, with strange eyes looking at him, and if that were not enough, another gap opened that left the boy in free fall, despite being afraid, the boy saw some trees in the distance, and tried to slow down his fall with his arms and head towards the trees, he would rather break his arm there than lose his life, but surprisingly he collided with something that was going fast.
(Y/n): What could it be now.
He thought to himself.
He realized that he was still in the air, going in a straight path and with constant speed, he turned around to realize that his backpack had gotten stuck with a broom on which was a young woman with blond hair, black and white dress, who seemed unaware that he was on board.
Marisa: How strange, did I gain weight? Or why am I going so slow?
(Y/n): Hey, miss, excuse me... but could you give me a hand?
Marisa: Oh sure...
The young witch helped him onto the broomstick, descending slowly near a huge mansion of a remarkable scarlet color.
Marisa: Because of how you dress, I suppose you are from the outside world, right?
(Y/n): What?
Marisa: Definitely, well, that doesn't matter now, I saved your life, didn't I? So you must return the favor ze!
(Y/n): What the hell!? I haven't been here five minutes and I already owe my life to someone, this is so confusing... but, I guess I have no choice, I will follow her until I can find someone more prudent to receive directions on how to return...
(Y/n): Okay.
He quickly checked his backpack hoping that his video game had not been broken, after being relieved to see it complete, he closed the backpack and followed the young woman.
Marisa: Well, make sure you follow me all the time once we enter, even the smallest step could get you lost among many rooms, once we get to the library, you will take as many books as you can and be careful if you see a girl with purple hair or a red hair , if so you're dead ze.
They both went through the gate silently so as not to wake the gatekeeper. Once inside, Marisa was in charge of defeating the maids that were near the corridor.
Marisa: Quick, we have a clear path!
The witch went at a speed that the young man barely reached, but one way or another, dodging the attacks of more maids who were chasing them from behind, they managed to reach the library section.
Marisa: Well, we passed the easy part, try to be careful with the books you grab and remember, if they catch you, you're dead ... well, we have to divide ourselves, good luck!
Before the young man could say anything, Marisa was already gone, leaving him completely terrified, but again, having no other choice, began taking books, putting them in his backpack and advancing cautiously. His backpack was already full, so he had to rearrange what was inside to avoid crushing his video game.
As he pulled it out of his backpack, it fell from his hands, so he tried to pick it up, but before he could do it, a delicate hand took it and brought it closer to the young man.
???: I guess this is yours.
The boy jumped a little scared, thinking it was one of the two girls the black and white witch mentioned, but after glancing at the girl in front of him, he realized that she had silver hair. 'What should I do then, they didn't tell me anything about this girl' he thought, leaving the girl
still with the video game in her hands.
He realized and took the video game with some shyness before the beauty of the girl.
(Y/n): Thank you, and sorry for not reacting in time.
???: You don't have to worry about that... although, for the sake of my lady I find myself in the need to ask, what is a human, who is obviously from the outside world, doing in my mistress's mansion?
(Y/n): I...
He stepped back a bit, but tripped over her backpack, which being half open she pulled out the books at the same time the boy hit the ground.
???: Interesting.
The boy feared for his life, until an explosion was heard in the other room. The witch ran out with many books in hand, her hat had small flames and her dress was dusty, she approached and quickly grabbed the books that she (Y/n) had collected.
Marisa: Okay buddy, that was it, you've paid off your debt, see you!
(Y/n): What!? Wait for me!
When the boy tried to run, he was quickly grabbed by the shirt, a red-haired girl with small wings on her head was the one who held him, and behind her, was the purple-haired girl, neither of
them looked happy.
After a while, the boy woke up in a cage hanging on a chain, it looked like a bird's cage. The boy approached the bars and tried to struggle to break them in a futile attempt.
(Y/n): What the heck is this cage? hello you, let me out, and don't catch me like a trout.
Remilia: Con que sí, ya se ve que no estás a gusto ahí y aunque hables inglés no te dejaré salir.
(Y/n): What?
Sakuya: Good morning, let me make a formal introduction to this servant and her mistress. I am Sakuya Izayoi, head of the scarlet demon mansion maids, and the one you are witnessing is my mistress, Remilia Scarlet.
(Y/n): I'm (Y/n) (L/n).
Patchouli: I'm afraid you've been placed in custody for assisting in a robbery.
Remilia: So a human from the outside world has entered my mansion... that's something you don't see every day...
Koakuma: Marisa was the head of the operation, he was surely a pawn so that she could escape.
Remilia: What should I do with you? suck your blood? let you go?
(Y/n): Excuse me my lady, I was forced to do it, she saved my life the moment I fell from a gap, so
I had no other option but to pay my debt.
Remilia: I see. Well, I have to admit, you had the courage to come in here in the first place to pay off a debt. I suppose you can work for me until you can replace the books that were lost because of you.
The completely grateful boy bowed to the mistress, and then looked up.
(Y/n): Thank you very much my lady, I will not fail you!
Remilia: I expect no less. Sakuya, please, from tomorrow consider this gentleman to do the housework with you.
Sakuya: As you order my mistress.
----------------------------------------TIMESKIP-----------------------------------------------
Your point of view
I began to work with the elegant maid, at first it was difficult, I mean, housework is not difficult, the difficult thing was to reach the degree of perfection that Sakuya demanded for everyone, the floor should be practically a mirror, the windows should shine, but they had to be covered with curtains to avoid hurting the mistress, making cleaning the windows just unnecessary work, then washing dishes even though Remilia couldn't see her reflection in them, I was obviously not assigned to wash the mistress's clothes , but while the maids were doing that, Sakuya would ask me to help clean the great clock tower, the roof, and dust off every book in the library.
Those were exhausting days where I thought, 'I had to wait another day to buy that video game' my house was probably already dusty, given that two weeks had already passed, and I hope that the electricity providers have not cut off my power yet. Although not everything was bad, after the whole day of work I was given a room to rest, and the three meals of the day, they probably gave me more work than a simple human can handle, but at least it was better than become a vampire's lunch .
In addition, day after day the elegant maid revealed her true nature; The first few days she acted in a cold, strict and somewhat threatening way, but as she observed my dedication to replace what I lost, she began to be more flexible, supporting if my body was excessively tired, giving me small minutes to regain my strength.
One occasion she asked me to accompany her to the human village, as she needed to buy things for lunch and wine for the mistress. We were both buying vegetables when one of the vendors, probably unaware of our affiliation, said:
Salesman: What a nice couple you two make, I didn't think that the elegant maid of that mansion would have a boyfriend.
Sakuya simply made an indifferent face, although I could notice a slight blush on her cheeks. For my part, I was red as tomato, so I decided to pay quickly and avoid causing any further comment on it. Some residents of the village were hiding when they saw Sakuya, and even so, she didn't seem to care.
On the way back, she started talking to me about how she prepared some of the mistress's favorite foods, I made sure to make a note for future reference.
(Y/n): You are amazing Sakuya.
Sakuya: Of course not, I only do what my mistress asks.
(Y/n): Come on, you are an educated, condescending, neat person, your cooking skills are incredible, and you are always full of surprises!
Sakuya: Don't say that, I insist, everything I do is normal, nothing special.
(Y/n): But above all, you are so beautiful, not even the most beautiful woman in the outside world can reach your heels.
Sakuya: But what are you saying !? I-I don't think I am the holder of such a title ... although it feels good to receive a compliment like that ...
(Y/n): I'm just being honest.
Sakuya: (Y/n), you wouldn't say those things if you knew what can i do, what I'm capable of... why I don't usually interact with the humans in the village as fluently as you do.
Now that she mentioned it, it was true, some of the villagers were hiding in her presence.
Sakuya: Speaking of which, there is one last thing my mistress sent me for.
(Y/n): What is it?
We were located near a cabin, there were some people, presumably human, who had somewhat terrifying appearances, they looked like bandits in the full sense of the word. They had people tied up, but they had characteristics that were unfit for humans, they were youkai.
Sakuya: As you are probably thinking, yes, they are human bandits and thieves, despite living in a fantasy land, they managed to do a business in the dark side of society. They have been capturing and selling youkai to other beings, humans with a lot of money or by default, other youkai of greater power. My mistress has nothing to do with her affairs, however, she said that she could use a different lunch for Flandre for once, and in the process do society a favor out of boredom.
(Y/n): That's horrible!
Sakuya: Certainly. Well, I need you to wait here for what I'm going to get hooked on, you don't need to see what I'll do.
And with that said, Sakuya disappeared by magic, I honestly knew that she must have some kind of supernatural ability to be able to do all the jobs that she does, however, I did not think it was such a great ability, I wondered what it was, super speed, teleportation, stop time ...
And after a while of thinking about Sakuya's possible powers, I realized that she had taken longer than necessary. I decided to approach the cabin cautiously, and discovered that she was tied up, and with her mouth covered.
Bandit: It seems we won the lottery, a beauty of your caliber will win us a fortune.
Bandit2: We knew that sooner or later one of you heroines would come to stop us, so we developed several plans to stop them, the girl in red and white would probably have destroyed us, but at least we found how to catch the elegant and beautiful maid, all we needed was a small spell capable of activating with or without flow of time.
The blood was burning me, but I knew that if I tried to fight them directly I would die, I thought, I took a rock, threw it against the glass and hid. The bandits along with five others left the cabin, looking for the person in charge. I took the opportunity to sneak out, untie Sakuya and leave the rest of her to him.
Bandit: Wait a minute, where did the maid go !?
Bandit2: We're screwed!
At that, a blast of knives began to mercilessly annihilate the bandits, some were left alive, but in great agony, which would not last long, since Sakuya, who now had a red color in his eyes, would finish them off at once. for all. All that festival of blood and screaming happened in front of my eyes, and once Sakuya finished she approached me.
Sakuya: Tell me, now that you've seen who I am, will you keep talking to me in the same way? seeing me as a human equal to the villagers?
(Y/n): Of course. And that will never change.
Sakuya, the beautiful maid, made a new expression, one that she hadn't seen her make before ... she was crying, holding her head and looking into her eyes ...
Sakuya: Why? Don't you see that I'm dangerous? it doesn't make sense, no human looking at me like that, they shouldn't, I don't even need to try to interact with them at all anymore ...
She was sobbing, so I hugged her, she buried her head in my chest, sobbing some more until she finally calmed down, regained her composure, cleared her throat and stared at me.
Sakuya: Thank you. I did not think that was possible, to be treated as human, beyond the teasing of others.
(Y/n): Don't worry... but by the way, what do we do with the bodies?
Sakuya: I'll send other maids to come for them, if they don't...
Sakuya pulled out three knives out of nowhere, I just laughed awkwardly as she kept a somewhat cold smile.
Upon returning to the mansion, Sakuya did what she had to do, I fulfilled my duties, and we both met on the roof ... she offered me her lap as a pillow, to which I was not going to refuse, we watched the sunset.
(Y/n): I don't know how long I have to be here, you know, paying what was lost because of me, but knowing that I will be with you makes me want that time to be eternal.
I got up, caressed Sakuya's cheek, and joining my lips with hers, tasting that sweet nectar until we both parted for air.
We stayed on the roof for a while until we felt tired and went to our respective rooms. You know, everything I said is true, there's no one else I want to be with than Sakuya, and maybe my only regret is that I won't be able to play my video game until I find how to have both at the same time.
The end.
