Hakurei Reimu is very bold, even to the point of lawlessness, this is the consensus of adults.

However, in fact, she is not as strong and brave as everyone thinks.

The little girl snorted, looked up at the black fog and black light entangled and fighting in the distance, swung her little short arms and legs, and buried her head in accelerating forward.

She is actually very timid, and her child's mind is not mature, but she also has the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. In the original depraved world, Hakuri Reimu, who was not yet called Hakuri Reimu, often saw the dead who were abused and killed and abandoned on the streets, and the friends who lived together were taken away by adults and never saw each other again, these things were commonplace and accustomed to Hakurei Reimu. In an ignorant environment, catalyzed by greed and fear, people can easily and spontaneously transform into a posture even more terrifying than demons. After all, humans in this world are just a branch of youkai.

And being commonplace and accustomed to it does not mean that we are not afraid.

Until the black angels saved her from hell.

Both Reimu and Rumia thought that Reimu didn't know the truth about the destruction of her own person, after all, Reimu was just asleep when the Mikaden found her. But only Hakuri Reimu herself knows that she actually witnessed the destruction of the village. After all, she was the only child in the village at that time, and the fear of the unknown fate kept her awake at night. She knew that the people of the village had never cared about children and women. When a child dies, rebirth is. The woman is gone, just buy it. If it weren't for the fact that Reimu was too young, she would have followed in the footsteps of those big sisters.

Therefore, when the mentally depressed Reimu Hakuri looked out on the windowsill, her bloodshot eyes reflecting the Messiah who tore apart sin and suffering, she felt more relieved than ever, and even fell asleep unconsciously.

The reason why "Hakuri Reimu" laughs so happily every day, and even makes Lumia play tricks, is because she knows that under the protection of these two people, she can laugh out loud when these two people are around, and she can do whatever she wants. This is the place that finally appeared in front of her, and belonged to herself.

She didn't know how she was going to repay Bollyon and Lumia, but at least, she was going to stay with them.

Reimu Hakurei wiped away the tears that were quietly flowing down her cheeks, and dragged her tired body on. The child's body was not strong, and running as hard as she could made her lungs ache as if they were on fire, but she refused to give up.

A pair of warm palms picked her up and hugged her into his arms.

"Found you, Reimu. ”

Hakurei Reimu looked up at the kind face that was smiling. Although it was a face that he had never seen before, and a deep voice that he had never heard, Hakurei Reimu was able to distinguish the identity of the person who came almost instantly.

She burst into tears and threw herself on that strong, warm chest.

"Sister Succubus, save Grandma, save Lumia. ”

"Okay, okay, that's what I'm here for. ”

He gently patted Reimu's back and softly reassured.

"We have a pact, remember?"

"Hmm. Hakurei Reimu sobbed and nodded vigorously.

"But Sister Succubus, where are your pair of cold and soft ones?"

The man was thoughtful.

"No, maybe it shouldn't have been in the first place. ”

"Don't worry about the details. Let's get over it, I'm afraid of change. ”

An endless fog enveloped the world around them. And when the fog cleared, Hakurei Reimu and the man had already appeared on the edge of the battlefield between the shrine maiden and the youkai. Hakuri Reimu looked at the two people covered in bruises in the sky, and immediately became anxious, raising her legs to break free from the man's arms, but he was firmly imprisoned.

"Don't worry, Reimu. I'll fix it all. ”

He put Hakurei Reimu on the ground and patted her little brain.

"You just have to close your eyes here and wait. Lumia and Grandma will be back. ”

"But ......"

Reimu was a little hesitant.

The man laughed, "Did Sister Succubus lie to you?"

"Nope. ”

The little girl was finally relieved, and she sat obediently under the big tree, covering her eyes with her hands.

The man waved his hand to protect her with a white mist, then looked up to observe the battle.

"The time is right. ”

The white mist enveloped him and disappeared in place.

"Why...... Why ......"

The scarlet completely spread in the eyeballs, and Lumia, who was struggling with reason on the verge of disappearing, grabbed the throat of Bo Li Lingmeng with one hand. The shrine maiden was covered with wounds of all sizes, and her clothes were completely soaked with blood, but her expression was haughty and dismissive, but the Yotsumi Youkai, who had the upper hand, burst into tears and was in agony.

"I thought...... I really thought we were family. ”

"Why, Ling Meng, because I eat people, because I am a monster, because I am dark, I can change, I can change......"

The mikoma's taciturn finally completely angered the Yotsumi youkai who repeatedly questioned her, and in the final analysis, the contemporary Hakurei witch who turned darkness into a power to drive herself could not be the opponent of the dark incarnation at all, and the only reason why Hakuri Reimu was able to survive until now was because Rumia still had illusions in her heart.

And now, the illusion is shattered by the indifference of the shrine maiden.

"Okay, I see. ”

Lumia stopped crying and bowed her head indifferently.

"Goodbye, Ling Meng. ”

She let go of her instincts, letting reason sink into the depths of her mind, licking her wounds where no one could reach them.

And her body, on the other hand, bared its fangs at the humans who were close at hand, full of alluring darkness.

Bo Li Lingmeng calmly looked at Lumia, who opened her jaw 180 degrees like a snake and opened the corners of her mouth to the base of her ears, and showed a sly smile in front of countless neat and sharp teeth.

Wow, it's not like I've never seen it, but Lumia's appearance is really scary, and it must be super painful to bite it off after a while.

I'm sorry, Reimu, but Grandma can't watch you grow up......

"I'm sorry, Lumia. There are no shrine maidens in Gensokyo's special menu today, only old men with no names. ”

A pleasant bass voice reached Hakuri Lingmeng's ears, and a pale and strong arm stopped between the youkai and the shrine maiden, and then was bitten and chewed by the Yomi Youkai without care, and devoured into his stomach. At the same time, Lumia's abdomen was suddenly attacked vigorously, making her subconsciously let go of her grip on Bo Li Lingmeng.

Everyone was watching the intruder who kicked Lumia away, and the woman hiding in the gap widened in disbelief and her heart faltered. The Shrine Maiden coughed twice and looked at the visitor suspiciously.

"Ahem, ahem, succubus, why are you here? Are you alive?
