"Hmm...... So now it's time for us to find something to eat, quack. Aren't you still hungry?"

“Guh？”“Tekeli？”

The Yokai clapped its hands in a relaxed manner as it turned its head to look at the monster, and the monster and the object in its hand also turned to look at her. In its hand, it held a gelatinous monster the size of a basketball, and the countless green pustules in the little monster's body flashed at Lumia like a flattering eye, looking extremely well-behaved.

It is only when you see the gelatinous monsters so clearly that you can see that their material is the same as the monster's hair, but it has more eyeballs and odor than the monster's tentacles.

Even so, Lumia couldn't stand the existence of such a thing in Gensokyo.

"Don't play with food, especially if you eat it and then spit it out!, let me kill it!!"

“Guh……”

Frustrated, Rumia snatched the shivering gelatinous monster from her hand, but neither the monster nor the little monster resisted.

Lumia's expression didn't ease until she saw the gelatinous monster dissipate at the end, the little monster was far more intelligent than she looked, and she knew what would happen if the monsters who shouted "Tekeli" were allowed to wreak havoc on Gensokyo. Although this kind of monster can't pose any threat to the big monsters, the ordinary beasts, low-level monsters, and humans of Gensokyo are about to suffer the catastrophe of annihilation, and even the mid-level monsters may not be able to resist the sea of gelatinous monsters. If it weren't for her ability to restrain this material monster, she would be helpless.

Lumia loves Gensokyo, and she will protect the Gensokyo she loves in her own way.

"How do I feel like I'm taking care of my children again...... Wait, have I ever taken a baby before?"

Lumia sighed and said helplessly, then remembering that she had no children at all, and began to try to remember.

“Guuuhhhhh……”

"Oh yes, you're hungry. Let's go, let's go find something to eat, and hopefully there will be youkai in the Forest of Magic now......"

Although the night dark youkai is not stupid, it has a straight brain. The monster's call easily interrupted her thoughts, and she turned to look for food with the monster.

But not to mention the monsters and beasts in Gensokyo, it's definitely a first-class strong. Originally, it was difficult enough to live in the cracks of various big monsters and big forces every day, and now after the news of monsters came out of the Magic Forest, there would not be any uneyed monsters running to the Magic Forest, as for the beasts, they may not be able to find the silent monsters, but with the unrestrained hunting of monsters, the overall atmosphere in the forest is becoming more and more dead, and the vigilant beasts will not rashly put themselves at risk. As a result, even monsters can only catch stag as prey, and Lumia only luckily picks up a rabbit.

"Hmm...... There really is no eh. ”

Lumia floating in the air with her hands raised and the monster staggering forward on the ground are a little depressed, in fact, even in this situation, there will always be some prey, but although Lumia has been wandering in the Magic Forest all year round, she has never deliberately memorized the distribution circle of her prey, and the monster has no brains at all, and has always relied on perception and intuition to hunt, so the two of them have been looking for a long time in the Magic Forest with the headless fly forward method, but they still haven't been able to find anything to eat.

“Guuuuhhhh……”

The monster leaned against the trunk of the tree and opened its mouth to bite the bark of the innocent old tree.

"I know you're hungry, but don't eat the bark either, it's unpalatable and indigestible, and the tree will die without it. ”

“Guh。 ”

The bark-filled monster swallowed the contents of its mouth with all its might, and then did not destroy the poor old tree again.

"Forget it, we probably can't really find anything to eat. Lumia finally gave up on the idea of hunting herself. "Let's go find a friend of mine, who lives in the Magical Forest and has a lot of food at home. Let's go fight the autumn breeze? Reimu seems to say so. Don't worry, I won't give you frozen frogs. ”

“Guh……”

Lumia led the way, and the monster staggered along with her. Although the Yomi Youkai doesn't deliberately remember her way, it is quite amazing that she can find several important locations in the Magic Forest no matter where she is.

About two hours later, Lumia and the monster were standing in front of the gate of a white western-style building.

"Shmm, this is it. ”

This beautifully decorated two-story building stands out in the midst of the Enchanted Forest. The regular buildings that don't fit in with this chaotic and chaotic forest of madness seem to be human buildings in the wrong place, but if you look closely, you can see several delicate arm-sized figures through each window, facing out of the window, their sapphire carved eyes staring at visitors, their bodies motionless but their eyes turning with the movement of guests, a veritable demon courtyard.

It's a pity that the visitors this time are also demons, so the terrifying atmosphere created by the puppets with all their best efforts was lost. Lumia didn't care, the monster didn't have the feeling of "fear" at all, and the dark monster ignored the puppets as nothing, and rang the doorbell.

"Jingle, Jingle, Jingle"

In a few moments, the door was opened. They were greeted by a blonde girl dressed in a blue dress and white lace shawl. The girl's facial features are delicate and beautiful, but the excessive delicacy makes people feel unreal, as if the person in front of her is not a living thing, but a life-size doll, and the girl's indifferent and elegant temperament aggravates this feeling. She glanced down at Rumia, then glanced indifferently at the monster beside her, and turned to walk inside.

"Come in. ”

"Excuse me~" "Guh!Guh!Guh!"

The little monster said that she was disturbed, but the grinning look proved that she only meant what she meant. The monster went barefoot into the house, but luckily it didn't leave any stains on its body, otherwise the floor of the room would have been ruined.

"I came to my house so late because there have been fewer youkai in the Magical Forest lately, and there is a lack of food. ”

Lumia quite consciously sat down on the round table in the living room with the monster, while the girl went to the kitchen and brought warm black tea and cake. As for the gate, the puppet will naturally lock it tightly.

When the girl was seated, Lumia reached out and patted the monster's arm.

"Alice, this is Quack, a friend I picked up in the woods. Quack, this is Alice Margot Royd, the strongest puppeteer in Gensokyo. ”
