Chapter 571

The Longarm ape king exploded into a bloody entrail show . The scene kept replaying in slow motion in everybody's mind . The remaining blood of the ape king rained down and sipped into the earth . Their hearts started beating loudly after the sound of flesh being obliterated entered their ears . It's like somebody is pounding the ground with an oversized hammer . It's not going to be easy to forget this scene for the rest of their lives...

This applied to Fei Fei, Sylph, Bing Ling, and Bishi .

Flandre-chan looked like she just did something normal . She slapped her palms together as her bright smile spread across her face the moment she saw Wu Yan .

Streaking across the sky like a dainty fairy, she landed in front of Wu Yan but she didn't reduce her speed as she immediately charged into Wu Yan's embrace, clinging to Wu Yan like an octopus . She also kept rubbing her face all over Wu Yan's chest .

"Onii-chan..."

Flandre-chan is practically brimming with joy right now .

"That was so fun..."

Wu Yan awkwardly laughed . A level 83 demonic beast was only "Fun" in her eyes . As expected of someone who hailed from the ridiculous place known as Gensokyo where demons and gods roamed the land, she lived up to her title as the demon's younger sister .

He caressed her blonde hair and he replied .

"As long as you're happy..."

"Say, Onii-chan..."

Flandre-chan looked at him with beaming and hopeful eyes .

"Are there more toys like that in this place?..."

Wu Yan almost fell face-first to the ground as he shook his head with a bitter smile .

"Well, I don't know about that . It's my first time coming here, I am only familiar with the outer regions..."

"Oh..."

Flandre-chan nodded but it's unclear if she truly understood him . She probably didn't get his message and Wu Yan sighed helplessly . He patted her back and he exchanged a chuckle with Mikoto before bringing them over to Hinagiku & co .

"Flan!"

Kinuhata Saiai is the first one to jump out with excitement .

"That was super awesome! You super settled the super terrifying monster by yourself!"

Flandre-chan reddened when Kinuhata Saiai praised her incessantly . She tried to hide her face by burying her head on Wu Yan's chest . Such a cutie pie .

She might have charmed Wu Yan & co but for Fei Fei & the others, they started revising their attitude towards this little girl, they lacked the courage to continue treating her like a little girl .

"Yan..."

Fei Fei approached them . She glanced at Flandre-chan and she sighed .

"Now I know why you were so confident when you brought Flan into the Giant Beasts Forest..."

She can't help but roll her eyes in annoyance .

"You really pulled one over all of us..."

Wu Yan shrugged and he said nothing . It's only going to lead to more questions if he started making something up so he chose to keep this a mystery .

Bing Ling and Bishi kept stealing glances at Flandre-chan . They are still trying to figure out how so much power can be contained in such a small figure .

They didn't dare to mingle with Wu Yan & co like Fei Fei . More importantly, they are intimidated by Flandre-chan's presence .

She's someone who just wiped a tier 9 monster from existence!

In their eyes and the eyes of everyone else in the expedition team, Flandre-chan became somebody who is greater than Lei Wang . They respected Flandre-chan greatly and this respect was born from fear .

Flandre-chan subconsciously frowned when she saw the fear in everyone's eyes . She clenched harder on Wu Yan's shirt . She laid her head on his shoulder as excitement and bashfulness got replaced with a heavy look .

Wu Yan saw this change in expression and he used a soft voice with her .

"What's wrong? Flan..."

"Onii-chan..."

Flandre-chan raised her head and she used a pair of gloomy eyes on Wu Yan .

"Do you hate Flan?..."

Wu Yan chuckled and he shook his head without even thinking about it .

"Of course I don't! How can I?!"

"Is that true?"

Flandre-chan giggled but she asked him in a serious tone anyway .

"Are you really not going to hate Flan like them?"

"Them?"

Wu Yan tilted his head . When the expressions on the expedition team members entered his eyes, he finally knew why she's acting like this .

"Flan..."

Wu Yan nudged her chin upwards with his fingers .

"Why would you think they hate you?"

Flandre-chan waxed thoughtful and she replied with an upset tone .

"They had the same eyes as the other fairies in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, these eyes are also similar to the guests Onee-chan would have when they see me..."

Wu Yan continued analyzing this situation .

The fear in the elite expedition team members probably made Flandre-chan recall her time in the Scarlet Devil Mansion . She remembered how the people who met her treated her in the past .

The past Flandre-chan who always go on a rampage due to her unstable mental state . Aside from Remilia and a handful of individuals, nobody dared to even make contact with her lest she accidentally "breaks" them .

They are looking at her like the poor souls who accidentally made contact with Flandre-chan, absolutely terrified and distant . Flandre-chan who could pick up subtle emotions caught this and she subconsciously assumed that they hated her .

Wu Yan tightened his hug as a sense of pity welled up within him . He can't fathom how she passed her days in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, bedeviled by her own demons and the people around her .

He tried putting himself in her shoes . If everybody treated him like he's a walking disaster, locked up by her own family, feared by almost everyone who knew her, distanced by others because of stuff she couldn't control . He felt like even his current self wouldn't be able to sort out his own thoughts much less Flandre-chan who was emotionally and mentally under-developed .

No, it would be more accurate to say it's thanks to her undeveloped psyche that she could weather centuries of near-complete isolation .

Hinagiku & the other girls who were listening to their conversations immediately surrounded the both of them as Mikoto grabbed Flandre-chan by her hands .

"Flan, it's okay! Even if everybody hated you, we will never ever direct ill-feeling towards you!"

Flandre-chan was stunned . She didn't know what to say . Hinagiku also rubbed her head .

"Yeah, Flan is too cute, how can anybody hate you? I, for one, adore Flan very much..."

"Yeah! Yeah!"

Astrea nodded her head vigorously .

"Flan is my little widdle sister and I am Flan's Onee-chan, it is impossible for me to dislike Flan!"

"Yes, we find it (super) impossible to abhor you!"

Kinuhata Saiai, Frenda, and Takitsubou Rikou said in unison .

Shokuhou Misaki faintly smiled and she rubbed her little head without saying anything . Ikaros also approached Flan as she brushed her bangs in a very caring manner, wordlessly transmitting her love through her actions .

Flandre-chan is flabbergasted by the loving looks on the girls around her, her red eyes started turning misty with tears .

Flan never noticed that she had a lot of people who cared about her...

Wu Yan laughed when he saw her face .

"See, you have no reason to be worried, right?"

Flandre-chan rubbed away the tears at the corners of her eyes . She nodded and she leaned her head against Wu Yan's chest, rubbing against him like a cute little kitty . She mumbled in a soft tone .

"Onii-chan, Onee-chan, Flan loves you all, please don't leave Flan..."

Wu Yan exchanged a look with the other girls as they all answered her .

"We will always be together!"

"Always..."

Flan giggled in bliss...
