[He then moves to the next grouping of pictures, pointing to each picture: the Scarlet family, Luka, Sylvia, Charlotte, and... his Mom, of all people.]
These people, though. I lived with them for a good while in one of the bigger houses in the village.
Mom was here for a good while. Strange, she showed up when I caught the flu. It's like she knew I had, and showed up to give me a lecture and then take care of me for awhile. Kind of funny, in retrospect. She also learned how to use magic while she was here. She was getting pretty good before she got sent back.
[He looks at the picture of the Scarlet family next.]
Funny story about them. At first I only knew her. [He pointed to the purple-haired woman in the picture.] Patchouli. She was a witch too, with a mastery of quite a bit of magic. Something about her screamed that she had a good heart, despite being something of a shut-in and not great at dealing with people. But we ended up being friends... and she was the one who convinced me to make reading a habit.
[Which would explain the bookshelf, anyway.]
Then, most of the rest of her own "family" showed up. See, she lived in a place called the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Ominous name, but... the people there ended up being like family. There's Koakuma, Patchouli's assistant... [He pointed to the red haired girl with wings coming from her head. She was clearly a succubus, but didn't carry any typical signs of the traits Adell disliked about them.] ...klutzy and harmless, but genuinely kind and caring. [He then pointed to the maid.] Sakuya, their maid, who could stop time and do chores while doing it. Made the best tea, too. [Then to the taller redhead.] Meiling, their gatekeeper, who was a great martial artist and as loyal as they came. [Then he pointed to the youngest girls, first the one with blonde hair, then the one with purple hair and red eyes.] And Flandre and Remilia Scarlet. Flandre was the younger sister, and Remilia was the head of the household. Remilia held herself with the bearings of a noblewoman but had quite a few quirks, and Flandre was more like a normal little girl, though she was still a bit... strange.
They were all youkai, which are kinda like us demons, from what I can understand. Well, except Sakuya, anyway. She was a human. Remilia and Flandre were both vampires, but... they took their blood in tea, weird as that sounds. But, sure as heck better than them going out and draining people, and Luceti provides for vampires anyway.
