47.Conversation in the hot springs (3)
Reimu ......
It was a name that Lumia would never forget.
Was it this kid?
Li Nian looked at the little girl calmly.
She didn't seem to have grown up enough to have the ability to extract information from adult conversations, and she tilted her head to look at this man, still not understanding Li Nian's identity.
She asked Li Nian the same question.
"Who is it~~?"
Li Nian pointed to himself and said.
"My name is Li Nian."
"It's called Lilian~?"
"It's Li Nian."
"Nimu~?"
ββ¦β¦ I'm a friend of Rumia. Li Nian decisively gave up correcting the child's pronunciation.
"Friend~? Friend~? β
Reimu repeated the words, then smiled brightly and waved her arms happily.
"Wowhaha~Nimus is a friend of Rumia~!"
Lumia said to Reimu with a smile.
"Reimu, this person is the one I said, the person who has helped me a lot these days."
"Oh~!" Reimu suddenly realized and giggled: "It turns out that Nimu is a terrifying big brother~!"
What the hell is the horrible big brother.
ββ¦β¦ Lumia, how did you talk to this kid about me? β
ββ¦β¦ I said you are a very good-hearted person. β
"What else?"
ββ¦β¦ It's a little scary, though. β
"That's what you think of me......"
Li Nian glanced at her, and Lumia looked away.
Never mind......
Then he looked at Bori and asked tentatively.
"Your daughter?"
"Not ...... Ah, let's not. β
As soon as Li Nian asked, Bo Li subconsciously denied it, but quickly corrected it back, and her tone became a little complicated.
It seems that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.
Li Nian didn't plan to ask more questions to explore anything, he planned to stop the topic here, but Yakumo Zi said suddenly.
"Little Reimu is the successor of Hakurei, and if nothing else, she will become the next generation of Hakurei shrine maidens."
Li Nian was slightly startled.
"The next generation?"
Bori nodded slightly, agreeing with this statement.
"That's ......" Li Nian thought thoughtfully: "...... I can probably understand the meaning of the surname Hirori. β
I see, is there a heritage in it? Isn't that surprising......
"What are you talking about~~?"
The little girl looked back and forth at the adults in confusion, unable to understand what they were talking about, and did not realize that it was she who was being discussed.
Looking at her like that, Li Nian frowned.
"But from any point of view, it's just a naΓ―ve child......"
To be honest, don't you feel like you've already started practicing, and you don't see the slightest bit of training, but because you're too young to start teaching, don't you think you're too young to start teaching?
"yes, yes, did you hear that? The Martial Gods have said so, you have to hurry up and teach Reimu this knowledge. β
ββ¦β¦ What? β
Hakuri glanced at the realm monster next to her.
Yakumo Zi picked up the wine jug and filled the wine cup, not minding that Li Nian had used it, he picked up the wine cup and took a sip lightly, and said with a smile.
"Even a cannibal monster can be approached with kindness.,It's because of the lack of cultivation so I didn't realize the danger ****.,To become a Borei witch who takes the retreat of monsters as her own responsibility.,It's a child.,This performance is too naΓ―ve.γ
Yakumo purple clearly means something.
Li Nian noticed that Lumia beside him stiffened, and knew who the man-eating monster was referring to in the words, so he frowned, and he also felt a little uncomfortable in his friend's position.
But he didn't say anything to refute what he defended.
He chewed on some of the information that had been revealed in his words, and then looked at the two people opposite him with a deeper gaze.
It's his mission to get rid of the monsters.,But the kind of cannibalistic monsters...... Is it?
Xiao Lingmeng had become very excited from the beginning, and was not infected by the atmosphere that suddenly became a little dignified, writhing restlessly in Bo Li's arms, waving her hands to Li Nian's side, as if she wanted to come over here.
Bori held the child tightly in her arms, was silent for a moment, and then said.
"Is there anything bad about it?"
"It's bad in every sense of the word."
"But didn't it turn out pretty well?"
"Huh? Do you think this is a good result? β
Yakumo said lightly, smiling sarcastically.
ββ¦β¦β
"One wrong step is a catastrophe, and this kind of thing should be known."
Bo Li sighed as if giving up and said in a low tone.
"You're right."
Their conversation was somewhat clueless.
But Lumia understood what they were talking about.
She bit her lip as if she remembered some painful past, and there was anxiety and sadness in her eyes. The hands under the surface of the water clenched unconsciously, and said.
"I know, I'm lucky."
Li Nian also understood what they were talking about.
I remembered the day Lumia was sent over, crying, in pain, and in despair.
She prayed for salvation in that way because she was about to be destroyed.
It was once so bad.
Li Nian's existence is a life-saving straw that suddenly appeared, which in turn shows that if this life-saving straw does not appear, there will be no way to recover it.
Nowadays, everyone can leisurely soak in the hot springs together, chatting calmly with each other, no one is hurt, no one leaves, no one dies, this is really a great luck.
However, one should not expect miracles to happen.
That's a stacking coincidence, meaning a small probability, and a bigger possibility than that, is not saved.
The people present were all relational, and Lumia was reduced to the point where she had to ask Li Nianlai, who was still a stranger at the time, for help, which shows that as close people, they have not been able to do anything.
If Li Nian doesn't appear, there will be no so-called miracles, and a certain story will go badend.
It's not glorious at all to be lucky enough to be able to bump into a small probability and be saved because of the help of unrelated people, which shows your own powerlessness, and adults should reflect on this.
The shrine maiden rested her chin on Reimu's little head, eliciting the sound of a child's laughter.
"Grandma~? It's so itchy~? β
"Slightly, let me lean in, Reimu."
The mask concealed the expression, and the voice was tired and trembling.
Yakumo took small sips of sake, seemingly intoxicated by the wonderful charm, and the flush on her face became more and more obvious, and her eyes narrowed as if she was enjoying it.
Then she said suddenly.
"I'm not targeting anyone, I'm saying that everyone here is stupid."
Li Nian looked at her silently.
Bo Li muttered.
"What are you talking about all of a sudden......"
"Because, it's all because you're so stupid?"
"Why......?"
Yakumo reached out heavily and patted Hakurei on the shoulder.
"It hurts!"
"You're stupid."
"So why......"
"Why be merciful to the man-eating monsters?"
ββ¦β¦ Ah, yes, I'm pretty stupid to say that. β
Hakuri said bitterly.
Yakumo pointed at Rumia again.
"You're an idiot too."
ββ¦β¦β
"How can anyone be stupid enough to want to be a human ogre?"
Lumia had nothing to say.
Then Yakumo Zi pointed at Li Nian.
"You're an idiot too."
"I'm not convinced."
"What are you disobeying the guy I'm playing?"
ββ¦β¦ Tut. β
"Also, you're as naΓ―ve as a shrine maiden."
"Hmph."
Li Nian shrugged his shoulders and didn't refute again.
"Wowha~! Grandma is a stupid~! Lumia is a fool~! Big brother is also stupid~! β
Reimu danced and laughed happily.
"And you." Yakumo Zi smiled a little on Reimu's forehead: "You're also a little fool, it's all your fault for becoming like this, you still have to be what Rumia has become?" β
"Stupid~~Stupid~~ Purple is also stupid~~"
"That's right, that's right, I'm also a stupid~~." Yakumo Zi nodded, and then showed a self-deprecating look: "I'm too stupid to worry about you stupid people, so all of us ~~~~ are stupid." β
Li Nian shook his head and sighed.
"You've been talking nonsense since the beginning, you've drunk too much?"
"I'm not drunk."
"I didn't come here to listen to your stupid hairlash."
"Stupid Valkyrie ~~~"
ββ¦β¦ Let him pass the past, people always have to look forward, no matter what, you let Lumia find me, so the current situation is not bad, is it. β
"Obviously, I haven't found a way, and I haven't solved the problem fundamentally until now, you idiot."
"It's just a matter of time or time."
"Anyway, there's no way now, is there?"
"You're right...... So, Lumia. β
Lumia, whose name was suddenly called, paused for a moment.
"Huh? Ah, I'm ......"
She had a gloomy expression from the beginning, biting her lip tightly, as if she was recalling something painful, and it was unbearable for people to look at.
Li Nian reached out and rubbed her hair vigorously.
"What's so bad about being alone there, you're really a fool, don't mind what that guy says."
"Hmm...... I know. β
I couldn't let go of the reluctant smile.
Li Nian put down his hand.
"What's next?"
"What do you mean ......?"
"I feel like I'm going to rot if I soak any longer, and I want to go back, so I've done what I had to do before then, right?"
It's talking about eating.
"That's right......"
Lumia glanced at Reimu, then nodded as if she had made up her mind, and continued.
"I'll wait a minute, I'll go back to Mr. Li's side."
"Ah, okay."
Li Nian didn't think much about him, thinking that he was just saying that he didn't want to show his cannibalistic ugliness in front of those two people.
Yakumo asked.
"Are you leaving?"
"That's all there is to it, right?"
"That's right, there's no reason to keep you."
"Then open the door."
"Yes, yes."
With a stroke of Yakumo Zi's fingertips, a gap opened on the shore behind Li Nian, showing the scene of Li Nian's bathroom in the opposite side.
Li Nian took a towel around his lower body and stood up.
Reimu had wide eyes.
"Is Big Brother leaving~?"
"yes, little one."
"Will you see you again~?"
"Probably, who knows."
Then he said hello to Hakuri as well.
"Because of this guy's willfulness, it was a little embarrassing to meet for the first time, but for me, I also think it's a pleasure to meet Lumia's friends."
"Me too, nice to meet you."
"Well, then, I'll leave it at that."
"Ah, that, please wait."
"Anything else?"
Hakuri took a deep breath, then took off her mask and set it aside.
Below that is a beautiful girl's face, the raised eyebrows reveal a strong feeling.
Li Nian was taken aback, not knowing what changes she had in her heart.
Bo Li took a wide towel to cover the key place at first, and stood up from the water, revealing a plump and attractive figure, but he didn't care about these at all, just sincerely bowed to Li Nian and thanked him.
"Lumia's matter, I always want to thank you in person, instead of helping her who can't do anything, thank you very much."
Li Nian closed his eyes, bowed his head, and replied indifferently and solemnly.
"That's what I'm supposed to do."
He turned, jumped ashore, and walked into the gap.
Yakumo said without warning.
"Do you have a chance to come over here and have fun?"
Li Nian paused.
"Okay, let's wait until we have a chance."
With that, he walked into the gap and went to the other end.
The spatial passage slowly closes, isolating the two places.
