Chapter Forty-Nine: Gathering Together

It was getting late, and the good man at home, Mori Kinnosuke, quickly brought a huge copper pot, and Hakurei Reimu also went to find the table with the stove inside, and everyone simply spread a blanket on the ground in front of Hakurei Shrine, and sat on the ground waiting for the bottom of the pot with a thick layer of red oil to boil.

The table is filled with thinly sliced pork, beef and mutton, washed seasonal vegetables with sparkling water droplets, fresh bamboo shoots and lotus root slices from nowhere, duck blood and duck intestines, hairy belly shutters, shrimp and fish slippery, and even luncheon meat and instant noodles that are rarely seen in Gensokyo.

"It was agreed in advance that each group would have a cross grid and a quadrangular grid, and the center grid would be shared. If I see anyone who dares to put chopsticks into someone else's lattice, I'll chop off her hand on the spot and add vegetables!"

Hakuri Reimu tapped the oil dish with chopsticks with a fierce expression. Rumia and Marisa Kiriyu nodded hurriedly like chickens pecking rice, but apart from these two, Gagaku didn't understand anything, it was holding chopsticks like holding a tree branch and poking up the square duck blood clot and sending it into its mouth, Mori Rinnosuke and Mori Kinbo Hirori would not be intimidated by Hakurei Reimu, after all, these two are Hakurei Reimu's parents, the people who watched her grow up. The shrine maiden's momentum is ineffective against them.

"Quack, chopsticks don't work like that......"

Lumia whispered to stop the monster sitting on her side. Although Hakuri Reimu is cold-blooded, cruel, stingy, and undisciplined, the shrine maiden still knows how to be hospitable. Lumia and Quack each occupy the upper left side of the square table, and each has access to two slots. And Mori Hirohiro and Hakurei Reimu sit together on the right side, and Marisa Mori and Mori Rinnosuke sit on the bottom side together, which is able to stop the fight between Mori Hirori and Marisa Kiriyu, and so that Mori Rinnosuke does not have to bear Hakurei Reimu's eyes. Even so, the couple are actually very close to each other, but there is only an angle.

"Alright, let's eat. ”

As soon as the family cook, Mori Rinnosuke, spoke, everyone started to use chopsticks.

"Quack, you see, chopsticks should be used like this......"

Lumia doesn't care about eating it, and is teaching the monster how to use these two magical little sticks. And the monster imitated it clumsily but intently with a dead face, and soon used it in a good way, in exchange for a happy smile from the little monster.

"Quack is so smart. ”

Mori Konrinnosuke stared at the monster silently, he knew that it was Wang Yu's instinct to allow a monster with no mind to learn such a difficult skill so easily, in fact, he had always been a bystander, he rarely interfered with others, but this time Yakumo Murasaki's idea even Mori Konrinsuke couldn't see through.

A long time ago, when Mori Rinnosuke didn't have the name Mori Rinnosuke, he became friends with the youkai sage. Few people in Gensokyo know that the half-demon store manager with an indifferent and bad attitude is actually a strong man who is not obvious, and he used to be very fond of advice because of the nature in the bloodline, but with the changes in the world, one is because he has seen more, and he understands that good intentions may not be able to do good things, and the other is to turn into a half-demon, and the influence of the bloodline has gradually faded, and Mori Jinrin's suke has changed from a guide to a bystander. But even so, he likes to see a happy ending.

He hoped that Wang Hao's friend would have a happy ending.

After all, Mori has very few friends.

Others don't care about the interaction between monsters and monsters, and they don't have so much emotion. The misers led by Hakuri Reimu have thrown off their chopsticks and let go of their bellies to pick up the mutton, perhaps because of the crooked beams of the Bo Li Lingmeng back then, and both Hakuri Reimu and Marisa Kiri have a fierce and subtle poor temperament, such as being able to break the doglegs of all the roadblocks for a pile of toilet paper for nothing. So although seriously there is no difference between eating Rinnosuke's things and eating their own things, they still gobble up with the psychology of "eating less meat is more loss", and the brutal Lumia is a little afraid to move the chopsticks, for fear that she will eat too much and be chopped up by these three hungry wolves on the spot, you must know that at this table, Lumia can't beat anyone.

Rumia is afraid, but the monster is not. Gagaku first ate a few chopsticks of red chili jujubes, and when he saw Rumia trembling motionless, he tilted his head, followed the example of Marisa Kiriyu, put a large lump of meat into the pot and soaked it for more than ten seconds, and then put the ball of meat on Rumia's plate under the murderous gaze of Hakurei Reimu.

"Thank you, but I think we'd better eat less, and it might not be a good decision to come here for dinner......"

The little monster trembled and grabbed a few slices of meat that were cooked on the outside of the meat ball, raised his hand and stuffed it into the monster's mouth, and then threw the raw meat that was still bloody in the center back into the pot and soaked it, so that he dared to dip it in dry ingredients and eat it in small bites, and from time to time he would raise his head to spy on the face of Bo Li Reimu.

"Don't be afraid, Lumia let go and eat, it's not my rice anyway. The little white face is silent, but he has saved a lot of money, and it is natural to fight the local tyrants and divide the fields, and I will be happier if you eat more. ”

The bloodless and tearless cruel witch squeezed out words from between her teeth to appease Rumia, and it may be a skill to be able to express what she wants to express quickly and clearly while munching on food, at least Rumia thinks she can't do it. And she didn't want to try it, just because Reimu didn't squirt food scraps didn't mean she wouldn't, and the little youkai didn't care too much about whether she was elegant or not, but she didn't want to be too vulgar either.

And the "local tyrant" Mori Jinrinnosuke just cast a helpless glance and did not speak.

He didn't have a deep friendship with the Yomi Youkai back then, but he was also a friend who could talk and drink, which was already rare for Mori Rinnosuke. So Rumia and Wang Yu consume his resources, as mentioned before, Mori has few friends, and he is willing to do something for his friends.

The host, Hakuri Reimu, spoke, and Rumia gradually became less inhibited. In fact, except for the little monster himself and the monster, everyone here knew in their hearts that Rumia should also be regarded as a host in this Hakurei Shrine, but since those memories were sealed, everyone tacitly did not mention her. No one knows what will happen if Lumia's seal is touched, and whether it will touch the sensitive nerves of the youkai sage. The little monster's life was paid a considerable price, and no one here wanted her to die in Yakumo's wrath for no apparent reason.
