Gensōkyō Archives

Disclaimer: ZUN/Team Shanghai Alice are the owner/creator of Touhou Project, and all of its official characters, locations, history, concepts, and etcetera. I don't own any cameos made referenced during the making of the various stories placed in this collection of fanfiction. I only own Sekai Ishtal and any original characters that emerge.

Author's Note: Yet another collection story, this time for the Touhou Project franchise. Anything can go here. There may be some crossover details in separate little stories and oneshots. Yeah, anything random here, because it's Gensōkyō; everyone can be a bit random now and then. If you got any ideas for something you'd like me to write out, just tell me in a PM or in your review(s).

OH YEAH!

The Scarlet Devil Mansion...

It is an extravagant home that gives off a vibe of regality and a sense of nobility due to its Western-European-like hybrid design. It is located in Gensōkyō near the coast of a lake sometimes shrouded with mist. This home despite its appearance was a place generally avoided by most humans and some yōkai. This house was often termed "The Home of the Devils".

The sisters that owned the place was Remilia Scarlet (the eldest) and Flandre Scarlet (the youngest). A magician yōkai named Patchouli Knowledge resides in the manor's large library with her succubus familiar called Koakuma, an unidentified-type yōkai named Meiling Hong rests vigilant as the manor's gate guardian, an elf yōkai who goes by the name Sekai Ishtal served as the manor's only butler, and finally there was the only human who served the house of devils as the maid, Sakuya Izayoi.

With the various fairy maids that Sakuya and Sekai oversee in taking care of the large manor, this was a rather peaceful manor when incidences weren't running amok in Gensōkyō.

But there comes the time occasional mishaps and skirmishes visited their doors.

In the manor's dining room, Remilia sat in her usual chair, enjoying the prepared lunch by Sakuya and Sekai. Everyone was enjoying the lunch as a family, even the two servants that prepared the meal in the first place. It was rare they eat together during the day, and it was that time of month Remilia tend to switch up her sleeping habits to be more active despite the daylight hours. Mostly this was due to a major incident that sprung up lately and half the major "players" in Gensōkyō were involved.

"This is delicious as always," Remilia commented.

Sakuya and Sekai bask in the praise of their mistress.

"It's been a month since the incident regarding the urban legends," said Sekai. "And things have started to return to normal around Gensōkyō."

"And what of that girl who had knowledge of you, Sekai?" Sakuya asks.

The girl Sakuya would be referring to is a teenager by the name Sumireko Usami. She was from the Outside World, and was a student at Higashifukami High.

"I met her when her psychic powers manifested greatly and I helped her control those supernatural abilities of hers. I only have contact with her for six months before I went on my way when her family moved away. She was younger back then. Never thought I'd run into her again."

Remilia frowned a bit. "She seemed to be a bit... affectionate with you a month ago..."

Sekai shrugs, not catching the faint tint of jealousy in the vampire's spoken thought.

"So are many other girls I've run into over my long years." Like Yui Shishido, a former student he taught when he once had the occupation of middle/high school teacher in the late 1980s.

The large main window bordered by the elegant blood red velvet curtains suddenly shattered as a familiar magician witch literally crashed into their manor. And the witch tumbled on the carpeted floor, broom in the other direction and her hat somehow landed on top of Sekai's head.

"Nice fucking entrance there, Marisa," said Sekai.

You can hear the sarcasm dripping.

"Sorry 'bout that. My broom has been acting a bit wonky as of late. I think the enchantments are beginning to fade," she said, dusting herself off, brushing off any bits of glass off her hair, her clothes, and picking up her hakkero that fell from her pocket and stuffing it away.

Sekai sighed. "Now I'm the one that'll have to custom order a new window to replace what you smashed through, Marisa," the elf muttered.

"Never a dull moment," Remilia says with a sigh in the end. The fairy maids were already at work cleaning up the shards of what remained of the beautiful window.

"I just know this'll be my fault one way or another," mutters Meiling.

Sekai takes out his phone and punches in a number, before putting it on speaker. After two rings, the caller on the end picks up.

"Hello?"

"Yukari, I'm gonna need to borrow your truck later when I go into Tokyo."

"Hello, Sekai-kun. And sure you can borrow my truck. Dare I ask why?" Yukari's voice flitters through the speaker of the elf's cell phone.

"Marisa decided to make a spectacular entrance through the window of the dining room. Going to get a custom order made to replace it."

"Ah. Okay. So I'm guessing she unintentionally portrayed the Kool-Aid Man when she made her entrance?"

There was humor laced in Yukari's words. It brought a hint of a smirk on Sekai's face. Now that Yukari said it, the elf now could see the resemblance.

"I have the feeling I'm being made fun of," said Marisa, overhearing all of this, as was everyone else.

The elf and the gap hag were one of three, likely four residents of Gensōkyō with a vast knowledge of the Outside World. The rest of the residents wouldn't understand any slang or stuff that came from the Outside World.

"She's in yo windows," said Yukari, and Sekai can imagine she was grinning right now, "like the Kool-Aid Man."

Sekai shakes his head, very amused now. "Oh yeah."

There was light laughter from the gap yōkai on the end of the phone call. "I'll see you in a bit I assume?"

"Eeyup. See you in a few minutes, Yukari."

And he presses the Call End button on his cell, disconnecting.

"Remilia-sama, I'll be out for awhile. And Marisa, I think as punishment you'll take over my duties as butler until my return. Sakuya can fit you into one of my suits." He looks to the silver-haired maid, whom nods in acceptance.

The witch stared.

"What?"

I had a weird dream and I was my character Sekai Ishtal, when Marisa smashed through the main window of the dining room of the SDM. And I was reminded of the Kool-Aid Man when Marisa made her entrance. I don't remember much about the dream, other than that portion, and I and Yukari making jabs about Marisa and her unintentional portrayal of the Kool-Aid Man. So I turned it into a short little fic...
