Chapter 4: Birth of the Scarlet Devil

Bgm: Cornered!(Raidou Kuzunoha vs The Soulless Army)

When the three girls enter the balcony they see a young, short girl(14 years old) wearing a pink dress and a puffy red hat on top of her short, wavy, blue hair, she looked depressed while standing before a black seal, within it, a man wearing a black tuxedo and a top hat over his blood red hair was crucified.

Girl: H-hello? Wh-who are you?[She said nervously]

Sakuya: Are you the one behind this red fog?[She said in a menacing voice]

Girl: Eep! Y-yes I-I'm sorry but...[She was visibly startled]

Reimu: You're scaring her Sakuya-kun.[Reimu said while slightly annoyed]

Sakuya: Whoops, didn't mean to scare you.[She apologized]

Girl: W-well father is cursed, so I-I'm gathering human f-fear...[She is still nervous]

Marisa: That's it? No epic backstory or anything?[Marisa said disappointed]

Girl: T-t-tell... M-me... Your n-names.[The girl asked]

Reimu: Oh! Well I'm Hakurei Reimu guardian of the human capital.[Reimu said trying to be casual]

Marisa: Well, I'm Mizunagi Marisa a magician.[Marisa added in the same tone as Reimu]

Sakuya: And I am Izayoi Sakuya, now tell us your name.[Sakuya said in a confident tone]

Girl: U-umm well, I'm R-Remilia Scarlet a-are you here to k-k-kill m-me?[Remilia's voice started to tremble again]

Marisa: So yer a Scarlet, if ya want to we could kill ya quick and painless.[Marisa said with a relaxed voice]

Remilia: N-n-no! P-p-please! D-d-don't!

Marisa: If I'm not becoming senile then, ain't the Scarlet family one of the biggest sources of magic for demons so they always want to devour ya?[She asked]

Remilia: Y-y-y-yes we are.....[She said nervously]

Sakuya: Marisa you're scaring her, leave the talking to me.[Sakuya tried to calm Remilia down]

Reimu: I think we should listen to what she has to say.[Reimu added calmly]

The four girls listened to Remilia's tale about her father's tragic fate. He was to forget who he was and to murder all of his loved ones for five years and then remember for eternity what he did. And how with contacts Remilia had acquired a way to dispel the curse. That means was to scare all humans in a realm to near death and use that fear as a makeshift sacrificial emotion.

Bgm: Irreversible Sadness (Diamond is Unbreakable)

Remilia: I-I didn't know what to do it was all so sudden and I couldn't handle the servants, they wouldn't listen to my orders and even made fun of me, some even tried to kill me...[Remilia said while she started to have tears in her eyes]

Marisa: Oh woe is you! If they didn't obey then make them obey by force! But you're such a wimpy master so it's obvious that they didn't see you as a worthy successor to the family house! So you ran from your problems and tried to make daddy solve them for you! Aren't cha a Scarlet!? Have some pride goddamit! You suck so much ass, I'm thinking of just murdering you and leave your corpse to rot away...[She said in a menacing and furious tone]

Remilia: I-I-I....*sniffle* waaaahhhh![Remilia started crying upon understanding her mistake]

Reimu: Marisa that's enough, she's had it badly too you know?[Reimu scolded Marisa]
