    「Father, read me this book~」
    「Ah, that's no good Saki. Taking Pachouli's books without permission like that.」

    Another potentiality
    Another possible future

    I woke up at 4 AM yesterday, but I can't go to sleep till I've watched Iris till the end!

    ■ I got as far as the air battle... but in the end, I couldn't hold out and fell asleep...

    Note: Not really sure how the artist wants us to read the name 咲妃. While Saki seems to be a fairly common reading, it could also be Sakuhi, Sakihi, etc.

    It seems Sakuya got a better husband than Flan.

    And it seems this picture confirmed the other 'Sakuya' on other picture is her daughter, but Reimu already has a grandchildren in that continuity, so...

    Okay, I'm confused. So is the child in this picture is the mother to the 'hidden-eyed' Sakuya's granddaughter in some other pictures?

    Edit: The husband is suspiciously similar to Flan's hubby. Either Gomasamune got lazy with the OC or the husband is two timing all along, and the hidden-eyed Sakuya in some other picture will pull a 'daddy, I finally found you' and putting him even more closer to death.

    They can be twins, and could it be Sakuya meets this guy first and his brother meets Flandre. Could explain that why he can enter and leave from Gensokyo (The Context for Kancoll and Touhou's crossover)

    Or just a random guy, because the artist cannot draw another type of male.

    I'm kind of hoping for that sort of twist. Nothing like that to make Mikoto pull a Flandre on him. Except him taking Hoppo and crew home as his new family.

    I'm getting a different feel from this kinda OC compared to Admiral hubby. He seems like those "hopeless I'm worthless trash" kinda protagonist compared to the "Man i'm such a stud" harem lead.

    It could be him before he jumped Flan and became the two timing Admiral we know.

    Just went back to the source and he titled this "if". This is probably just a 1 shot then.

    His condition doesn't improve much if he marries Sakuya instead of Flan if he still doesn't have self control. It just go from 'being kyuun-ed to near death' to 'stabbed to near death'.

    Yes, it's a "what if" type thing. I've added a translated commentary, though I am not quite sure how the artist intends the child's name to be read. From briefly googling around, I can see 咲妃 being read as Saki, Sakihi, and Sakuhi just to start with; there are probably more readings as well.

    I've asked about the reading in the pixiv comments, and perhaps someone helpful will respond.
