The Night Sparrow Barbecue Stand is actually not called the Night Sparrow Barbecue Stand, it didn't have a name at all, just because its owner was Mistya, which is a popular barbecue shop among the low-level monsters in Gensokyo.

Misty Loreira is by no means a Night Sparrow monster, although she has wings on her back, but that pair of overly wide wings is not something that Night Sparrow can have. Speaking of which, the birds and youkai in Gensokyo still have wings behind their backs even if they take human form, which is a very paradoxical thing from a biological point of view, and this is also true for youkai.

"Old man, I vaguely remember that before entering this Paradise of the East, the wings of the feathered insects in the world would turn into hands after turning into human form, even the wings of the caterpillars were no exception. Only grasshoppers and beetles can still have wings when they take on human form, because they still have limbs that can turn into arms without their wings, and now they seem to be called 'insects', right? ”

An old man with round eyes and white hair and white beard, dressed in plain clothes, was smiling at the table between Lumia and the monster. He held a dark fishing rod in his right hand, and a net bag in his left hand, which contained a lively osmanthus fish, and the fat big fish stared at its dull eyes as if it had long lost its dream, but only symbolically bounced twice.

"Snorr, purr. ”

"Whoa, whoa. ”

It's a pity that neither Luminia nor the monster are the type of people who are interested in these things, and Lumia may still know how to respect the old and love the young, but the food has already attracted her full attention, and she doesn't even hear what the old man is saying, and she doesn't even realize that the old man is talking to herself. The monster didn't even give it a look, and it could tell that the old man was talking to him, but so far no one had made it react except for Rumia, and of course the old man couldn't. To be precise, it instinctively hates the old immortal, but it doesn't express the consciousness of the emotion of "disgust".

So the old man's accosting gesture did not get any response, he stood in place for a long time with a net but still did not get half an invitation, only the mandarin fish in his pocket whose dreams had long been burned out occasionally fluttered twice to make some noise, but he seemed more embarrassed and desolate.

Fortunately, it was the barbecue stall owner Mistian who took time out of her busy schedule to notice this, and the kind proprietress hurriedly beckoned the old man to sit down, and the old man also found the bottom of the steps, and the seventy percent bald old man of the Mediterranean strode up to the proprietress and handed over the pocket in his hand.

"What are you doing standing there, Mr. Taigong, find a place to sit down. ”

"Oh, oh, little bird, the old man is bothering again. I also trouble you to make steamed mandarin fish this time, with more green onion and ginger. Two more bottles of sake, and when I'm older, I can only drink these low-alcohol light sake. ”

"Okay, wait a minute. ”

Misty took the net bag with both hands, and at the same time lowered her voice and whispered to the old man:

"Sir, why are you going to talk to that youkai? She's protected by Hakurei Shrine. I know that the gentleman is kind-hearted, and that little monster doesn't look bad, but the Hirori witches are all cruel, cold-blooded and unreasonable people, and if you are old enough to bully and beat you, we can't do anything about it. ”

"Don't worry, little bird. The monsters on that table are old acquaintances with me, and they won't harm me. Little Lao'er has thanked you for your kindness. ”

The old man, who was all smiling, also lowered his voice to speak, obviously afraid of causing trouble for Mistya. It's just that there is a rather short and subtle pause when it comes to "won't hurt me", and Mistya, who is also a musician, naturally can't tell the difference.

Mistya, who was still a little scared as an old man, shook her head and didn't say anything more.

"My fish and wine will be delivered to their table in a moment, and the little old man will go first. ”

"Eh, are you still ...... Ahem, okay, I got it. ”

Mistya, who had failed to stop her, sighed, she only hoped that the old man would be careful in his words and deeds, and not get into trouble. Mr. Taigong is unfathomable, otherwise he would not have won the admiration of Misty Loreira and many monsters here by virtue of his human body, but in Mistya's heart, there is no one stronger than the Hirori Shrine Maiden, who is invincible in Gensokyo.

The old man could guess what the monsters were thinking, but he wouldn't break it, and besides, he really couldn't beat the Hakurei shrine maiden in Gensokyo. These little girls who have been chosen as sacrifices by the Yokai Sage have an exaggerated home field advantage in Gensokyo, and the Protector Ghost will be a skill common to all Hakurei shrine maidens.

But what about making peace with him?

"Two friends, I wonder if I can talk to the old man?"

The old man learned well this time, he no longer waited to be invited, and these two monsters didn't play cards according to the routine at all. The old man sat directly on the chair opposite the monster, leaned the fishing rod in his hand lightly against the table, and said kindly.

"Purr purr, purr, purr...... Eh, old man, are you talking to us?"

The little monster was halfway through eating and suddenly found that there was an extra person on the table, and couldn't help but stop eating and swallowing what was in her mouth, she was still civilized and polite, at least better than Lingmeng.

"Yes, I don't know ...... this little friend"

"My name is Lumia. ”

"This Lumia friend and this?"

"Whoa, whoa. ”

It's a pity that the monster doesn't understand. It didn't have the posture to give the old man face at all, and it still buried its head in hardship, making the scene very embarrassing.

"Oh, it's my good friend named Quack. It's stupid, don't worry about it, old man, Quack has no malicious intent. Quack, come on, well, what's your name, old man?"

"Xiao Lao'er's surname is Jiang Mingshang Ziya, but in this land, others call me Taigongwang, probably because of "The Romance of the Gods in the Fairy World". You can also call me too public, or if you annoy me, you can simply call me a stinky old ghost, an old slippery head, an old immortal, an old dog and an old king. ”

"How can we be so rude...... Quack, come and say hello to the old man. ”

Lumia laughed dryly, she was a little uncomfortable with Taigongwang's self-defeating style.

"The old man wasn't joking, that's what some people used to call me. ”
