A lotus flower

Some unique beings will see extraordinary things in their sleep, such as Kosumi.

One second, he was kicked to the ground by the Koakuma, and the next time he took a breath, his consciousness appeared in a magical place - the spiritual sea.

Although named Spiritual Sea, it is not an ocean.

Everyone's spiritual sea is different and often reflects their independence from others, such as a tough person, their spiritual sea may be a boulder. Such as a gentle person, their spiritual sea may be a clear spring.

Most people may never know what their spiritual sea looks like in their entire life. But Kosumi was different. He saw that it was a lake, Lotus Lake.

The lake is full of lotus leaves, but it is not emerald green. On the contrary, it is like an ancient Chinese landscape painting with ink gradation.

The ink-coloured lotus leaves become blurrier as they go to the lake's edge, but the so-called edge is not fixed. With the movement of Kosumi's consciousness, the ink colour of the lotus lake also begins to put change-simply. This lotus lake is based on where Kosumi is located. The position is the center, and the ink density decreases in concentric circles.

It doesn't have a center, and it doesn't have an edge.

"But it's so strange. Why isn't there a lotus flower here?" Kosumi said in surprise.

That's right. This lotus lake is extraordinary. The lotus leaves are crowded with each other, showing folds on the leaves that are perpendicular to their texture. Even though the lotus leaves are so dense, there is not a single lotus, not a single one.

Therefore, Kosumi instinctively felt that something was missing in his spiritual sea.

It was a lotus, a lotus as a soul.

"I have a flower in my heart." Kosumi thought of the lotus flower on his chest.

"But the lake is missing one." The lake is missing a lotus, only one.

One side of the lotus lake does not have to be colourful, and one flower is enough.

If a lotus grows in his lotus lake, if his spiritual sea is wholly filled, something unusual will happen. There is no reason. Kosumi thought so.

'But how to make it complete? How to let the lotus of the soul open freely?'

Strength.

As if a word rang in Kosumi's ear.

'Then, go for strength,' he thought silently.

Subsequently, the lotus lake of ink and wash collapsed piece by piece and dissipated. Like a broken mirror, the scenery gradually disappeared.

"Well, the ceiling, I don't know... I don't know this time... In other words, this should be the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Right."

Looking at the dark red decorations around, Kosumi muttered to himself. "Koakuma strikes... No, her feet are really cruel."

Rubbing the still swollen chest and back of his head, he smiled helplessly.

Obviously, she went to help because she couldn't see her master's asthmatic appearance. But she was kicked like this, and she still looked like a pink young lady, and the master who insisted on Patchouli was afraid of controlling Koakuma.

At this moment, soft rhythmic footsteps approached, and then only a "squeak" was heard, and the door of the room was opened.

"Are you awake, Master Kosumi, Flower Master of the Four Seasons?" A cold voice sounded, and a woman walked in. She had short silver hair, sideburns tied on both sides, and a blue and white maid. Dressed up, with a maid hairpin on her head, a silver pocket watch hanging around her waist, her blue eyes stared at Kosumi, who was half-propped up on the bed.

"Ah, hello, Miss Izayoi, I'm bothering you." Kosumi scratched his head embarrassedly and said to the silver-haired head maid.

"As a guest of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, we are obliged to take care of you who are in a coma, so don't care about Master Kosumi." Izayoi Sakuya replied neatly.

"Uh, I'm not a guest. I was just pulled hereby that black and white and then abandoned by her without hesitation." Shrugging, he was a little embarrassed: "And Miss Izayoi doesn't need to call me Young Master. It's embarrassing. Just call me Kosumi."

"Since it's embarrassing for the guests... Then Kosumi, breakfast is ready. Please wash up and move to the restaurant." After the Servant finished speaking, she turned and left the room. "So it's already the second day, Koakuma's kick was a little brutal, and she wasted a whole night of meditation time." Kosumi thought helplessly.

"Because it's daytime, the eldest lady went back to her room to sleep, so I'm the only one here to receive you. Please forgive me." Standing at the dining table, Sakuya Izayoi said.

"Ah, it's alright, child...cough, nothing." The eldest lady is indeed a child, and she will go to bed at that time. Kosumi silently complained in his heart.

The owner of the Scarlet Devil Mansion is a vampire over 500 years old, known as the ever bright red young moon. Although it looks majestic, it matches her loli's body shape. She is a willful and childish girl (young girl)

"I think you are thinking of something rude." The head maid looked at Kosumi suspiciously.

"Damn it, when will the maid have such a ferocious skill as mind-reading?!" Kosumi's heart was like ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping past.

"No, I don't know how to read minds. I'm just more sensitive to things related to Miss. This is my loyalty to Miss." The head maid said proudly, looking full of loyalty.

Forget it. Let's not complain. The Red Devils Pavilion is frightening, and there are master controls everywhere... Kosumi, who was utterly powerless, collapsed on the chair.

"By the way, Miss Patchouli asked me to apologize to you on her behalf. Koakuma was too rude last night. But she is still resting because of her health, so she can't apologize in person. Please forgive me." Suddenly I remembered my eldest friend. Please, the head maid said.

Su Mo shook his head: "Miss Izayoi, please tell me, I didn't care, and there was something wrong with me yesterday."

"Then thank you for your generosity."

After breakfast, Kosumi said that the western breakfast is boring, and the bread and milk are entirely unsatisfactory, but he is too embarrassed to make other requests. But after eating, he euphemistically expresses that he wants to go home, but he does not know-how. Can he ask the head maid to send someone to take him Go back to the Sunflower Field, and I will revisit the Scarlet Devil Mansion in the future.

"If you don't dislike it, I'll take you there. The eldest Miss doesn't need me for the time being when she sleeps. The Scarlet Devil Mansion can ask Miss Patchouli first." Sakuya Izayoi decided to take Kosumi home in person.

Kosumi naturally couldn't ask for it: "Then please."

When going out, Kosumi saw a girl standing at the door, with long red hair reaching her waist, tall and plump, with a braid on her temples. The braids and the chest are decorated like bows made of ribbons, wearing a dark green cheongsam with slits up to the upper thighs, wearing white underpants, and a hat of the same colour as the clothes on her head. There is a golden five-pointed star engraved with the word "Dragon."

She is the doorman of the Scarlet Devil Pavilion, a Chinese monster, and one of the martial arts experts...cough, Hong Meiling.

I saw her standing in front of the gate with her hands on her chest, her pupils staring at the front with piercing eyes, and she looked like she was doing her duty and guarding the gate well, but...

"Hong Meiling, you sleep during work. Twenty years later, the salary will be gone." Said lightly, the head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion threw a flying knife and stabbed it directly on Meiling's forehead.

Hiss, it must be painful. Kosumi, next to him, was sweating coldly. Also, do you not only sleep standing up but also sleep with your eyes open...

Ah, blood came out, spewing out like a fountain.

"No~~ I do~~ Ah!!! I didn't sleep. I didn't!! Don't deduct my salary, Miss Sakuya!!!" Tsk tsk, this cry, weeping like hell.

In response to Hong Meiling's miserable howl, the head maid glanced at her and replied, "This morning's breakfast and lunch at noon are gone." The door of the Red Devils Hall, ah, petrified.

Hong Meiling, take care.

Su Mo wept a heroic tear and then left with Izayoi Sakuya without looking back.

The maid has a long mouth and a soft heart, and she will find an excuse to deliver food to Hong Meiling in the end. It doesn't matter. But the salary of the god horse is estimated to be suspended, and they have been deducted from their salary for 20 years. GOOD JOB of the Red Devils Museum! ! What's more, Sakuya Izayoi didn't even get half of the reward, although she did it voluntarily...

But the most critical thing for Kosumi now is to go back to the sunflower field. He wants to Go back to exercise, gain strength, take care of flowers, and welcome the return of my sister.

So, Hong Meiling, remember, real warriors, dare to face the dismal wages and face the dripping future.

After passing through the Lake of Mist, passing by the Tomb of No Destiny, and seeing the boundless golden ocean from a distance, Kosumi breathed a sigh of relief. It felt very good to return home.

"Miss Izayoi, thank you." Thank you sincerely.

"No, since you've already arrived home, I'll go back first. That guy, Hong Meiling, is a little bit needy." She bowed slightly, and Sakuya Izayoi turned around and left along the way she came.

Sure enough, she was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. Let's go back and prepare breakfast for her.

After watching the white figure disappear into the distant forest, Kosumi returned to his home in the center of the flower field.

"From today onwards, the training will be doubled." Kosumi was smug to become stronger.

He must let that lotus open in his heart.
