Chapter Forty-Three: A Journey to the Old Place
The little monster's forehead was red and swollen, and her hand would cause more pain when she touched the swollen blob, which caused tears to quickly accumulate in Rumia's eyes.
The monster hugged Lumia, and it awkwardly rubbed the head of the dark youkai. Although the movements are clumsy, the strength is quite gentle and gentle, and the body temperature of the monster is not much lower than that of ordinary creatures, so this cool feeling also makes Rumia's head less painful, and it has the same principle and effect as ice.
"Eh, quack is so smart, I know that cold things can dissolve bruises. ”
Lumia was a child, and the tears disappeared when her forehead was less painful, and she looked up at the monster's dull face with a proud and smug smile. But where does the monster know what cold and hot compresses are, and it doesn't even know why it makes such a skillful action. It's just that the blurred vision eyes that have been more than 3,000 degrees of myopia since the renovation fell on the yellow hair and red eyes of the little monster in his arms, and faintly, the monster felt a little bored and gloomy.
"Well, it's okay, we don't have to cover our bodies in the dark, we just go around those human circles. Quack, transform and go!"
“Guuuuhhhhh!!”
Lumia was held in the monster's arms and jerked forward in a daze. The monster continued to rub her forehead and screamed in unison, scurrying in the direction Lumia had pointed out.
The speed of the monster was extremely exaggerated, and most demons could only see a black shadow flashing, but it was silent, and it never made the slightest wave. It's just that the monster's pace is already staggering, and it doesn't even have the strength to keep rubbing Lumia's wounds. But the little monster endured the rapidly changing perspective on the one hand, and the state of tossing up and down on the other, and the body was a little unbearable.
"Wait, wait...... Rattle...... Stop for a moment...... I'm going to throw up......"
"Is it~ so?"
The monster stopped abruptly as if it had no inertia, but Lumia in its arms felt like she had flown out for a moment, and then the monster reached out in the air to retrieve it. She was held by the monster and retched for a moment with her face facing the yellow earth.
"Wow...... ...... vomit"
Then the little monster raised his head, his face full of excitement.
"It's exciting. ”
"Is it~ so?"
"Yes~ That's it, but it would be nice if you could run more steadily...... Well, I know it's hard for a strong man......"
How to say it, the monster's usual way of acting is like a marionette manipulated by an epileptic patient, that is, it is not bad and poisonous, and even any other monster may have been killed thousands of times by itself.
"Wait, Quack, can you fly? Anyone in Gensokyo can fly. ”
Lumia thought about it, she had never seen a monster fly. It stands to reason that in Gensokyo, as long as an individual with a certain strength can gain the ability to fly, the combat power shown by monsters should be easy.
"Come, quack, learn from me. ”
Lumia flew out of the monster's arms, looking at the monster with anticipation and encouragement, even though the monster's face was full of confusion.
"As long as you believe that you can fly, everyone will be able to fly, and the emphasis is on 'self-confidence'. Like Reimu, I couldn't fly because I wasn't confident a long time ago. ”
Lumia slowly rises while teaching the monster the tricks of flying, but the monster is not even aware of itself, let alone self-confidence. So the only thing the puzzled monster did was jump into the sky and pick up Lumia in her arms.
"Well, it doesn't seem like so. Alice also said that Quack you don't actually have self-awareness at all, that is, Quack doesn't actually exist? All my impressions of Quack are just my unilateral creation, and even the name 'Quack' is just something I imposed on you to be able to identify it?"
"Is it~ so?"
Lumia, who was held in the monster's arms, stared at the monster's pure black eyes, and the monster also looked at Lumia with a blank face and gave its own response.
“…… I don't think so. Quack, you're stupid, but you're still obedient. You're just stupid enough to learn how to fly. ”
Lumia smiled and reached out to tug at the monster's cheek, and she clasped the corners of its mouth with her thumbs to force a smile on the monster.
"Quack, you look good when you smile. ”
"Potential~Zheyang?"
"Yes~ That's it. ”
"Let's go, quack! but slow down this time......"
“Guuuhhhh!”
"Didn't I say slower, didn't I, did I, did I————"
The monster hugged Lumia tightly and sped up again. The little monster's frightened voice was stretched out and dissipated in the wind.
Reimu Hakurei is enjoying a wonderful afternoon.
The garden has already been cleaned, and with the warm tea brewed at hand, Marisa has been buried under the apricot tree at the shrine with her limbs tied and stuffed in her mouthball, hoping that Marisa can use her only bit of value to make this year's apricots more delicious.
The Witch of Hakurei took a sip of the teacup, the golden sunlight sprinkled on her, and the tea in her stomach made her whole body warm and soft.
"Ah~ this sinful and beautiful ...... of doing nothing"
It's a pity that the good times of the Hirori shrine maiden are destined to be broken by the heavens.
"Reimu Dream ————"
“Guuuuuuuhhhhhhhh————”
Two black shadows, one large and one small, fell from the sky, and they all fell towards Hakuri Reimu like hungry tigers, opening their mouths wide open. The two unusually sharp fangs were so white against the light that they looked like traps or chainsaw swords in their mouths.
"How dare you do it!RiderKick!"
"Poof!!" "Guuhhh!!"
The Shrine Maiden stood up indifferently and repelled two warriors who dared to challenge the Gensokyo overlord at the same time with a rather perfect and dashing reflexive roundhouse kick. Lumia and the monster's bodies are kicked against the walls of Hakurei Shrine, and they both slide off like dead dogs.
"Ah...... It's you, Lumia. Is this your new buddy? Will it turn around three times and boom? Come, stretch out. ”
Unsurprisingly, Reimu Hakurei slowly paced in front of Lumia with the Imperial Coin, and she crouched down and clasped her arms in her arms, looking at the monster coldly for a moment, and then reaching out to it.
“Guuhhh?”
The monster looked at the shrine maiden's palm-up jade hand suspiciously, and put his wide palm on it.
"Yo, that's pretty smart. Lumia, your new friend is much better than you. ”
