"By the way, Reimu, where did your ribbon go?" At this moment, Rumia turned her head and looked at the top of Reimu's head strangely.

On the other hand, Lingmeng was taken aback, then tilted his head, stretched out his hand and touched the top of his head with a blank expression, and then groped around his head, but unfortunately, the ribbon on the top of Lingmeng's head was gone up.

"Ah~" Reimu's small mouth shrunk, and she burst into tears, startling Rumia who was on the side, while Reimu shouted tearfully: "No more, no more ribbons! "

"Ah~ It must have fallen somewhere in the summer festival." Ellikone scratched her head, while Grandma stood up, looked at Reimu and said, "Okay, don't cry, Satin If you bring it, I will buy it for you next time." [

However, Lingmeng was not comforted by Grandma at all, and cried loudly: "No no no! I want that one, woo woo..."

"Woooo..." Reimu rubbed her eyes and stood on the ground crying, tears streaming down her cheeks unstoppably, Elrico stood up and said, "Let me look for it."

Before Elrico stood up, Grandma held her back and said, "I don't know where I've been for a long time, forget it, ah, what a headache."

At this time, Rumia, who had been watching from the sidelines, sighed, stretched out her hand to pull at her left side hair with a look of regret, pulled off the red and white ribbon on it, and handed it to Ling. Dream, said: "Come."

"Huh?" Lingmeng opened his eyes.Looking at the ribbon that Rumia handed over, Rumia squatted in front of Reimu with a smile, and said, "Here you are."

"..." Reimu stopped crying, and stared blankly at Rumia, with her small mouth slightly open. Being watched by Reimu like this, Rumia blushed and said, "That. My bad If you mind... I can give it to you... that... don't you want to?"

Reimu looked at Rumia, and then a warm and healing smile bloomed on her face. Under the eyes of Elrico and Grandma, she threw herself into Rumia's arms and said, "The most, the most. I like Rumia the most~"

I don't know if it was Elrico's illusion, but she seemed to hear the scream of "cracking" bones from Rumia's body again.

————————————————————————————————————

After a while, Elrico, Rumia, and Grandma sat on the steps in front of the shrine with Rumia sitting in the middle, Elrico and Grandma sitting on either side, and Reimu Zhang leaned on Rumia's arms.He fell into a deep sleep with his mouth wide open and his saliva in his arms.

"Really, it's been making endless noises, and I finally fell asleep when I calmed down." Rumia sighed naively. Looking at Rumia with a smile that even Elric could tell.

And Lumia, who noticed this gaze, looked at Grandma restlessly, and said angrily, "Wh... what! This gaze is terrifying, hey! It's so bloody!"

"Hmph~ It's nothing. It's just what I want to say..." Grandma put her hand in front of her mouth in front of her—by the way, the mask Grandma is wearing now is the mask of Kamen Rider—and then teased Looking at Rumia meaningfully, he said, "Your expression has changed a lot!"

"Huh?" Rumia blushed and looked at Grandma in surprise, and Grandma explained, "Obviously she had an expression that didn't know how to be funny~"

"Hey, what are you talking about!" Rumia said angrily, "What does it matter!"

As she said that, her expression changed from an expression of embarrassment to anger to a performance of complaining, and she said, "Speaking of which, don't you let people see? Your face."

"..." Grandma was silent for a while, but she didn't answer Rumia's words. Rumia curled her lips and looked at Grandma with a naive look, and said, "I've been paying attention to it before. I always~~ use a mask to cover my face." Hold your face!"

Between "always", Rumia specially added the accent for emphasis, then scratched her face and said, "How should I put it, I mean it, but... Reimu doesn't want to see you face?"

"So..." Rumia was about to say something, but was interrupted by her mother. [

"No need to pull." Grandma clasped her fingers together and said, "I'll just... just do it this way."

After these words, Grandma didn't say anything more, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly cooled down. Even Elric, who was "listening" beside her, could feel the awkward atmosphere.

At this time, Grandma said softly: "Hey, do you know what everyone thinks of me?"

"Eh?" Elrico and Rumia were stunned, looking at Mom with puzzled eyes. What's the problem?

Grandma lowered her head, and no one could see her expression. No, to be precise, no one could see her expression even if she didn't lower her head. Another generation leans on the settlement side as a job..."

As she said that, Grandma seemed to recall the scene when she defeated a terrifying monster a long time ago when she was the maiden of Hakurei. She still remembers the way that monster looked at her...

"... Even if you don't want to, even if you don't want to, you will be resented and hated by monsters..."

No, it's not just that, the eyes under the mask of grandma produced a trace of memory confusion, that was when she saw the monster's eyes, turned around and wanted to tell the villagers that it was all right, those villagers looked own eyes...

"...In the end, even the same human beings, the human beings protected by you, look at you with fear as if they were looking at a scourge, fearing you..."

"It's so hard," said Grandma, who raised her hand and tightly grasped the scarf on her chest.

And Elrico and Rumia looked at Grandma with complicated eyes. Grandma now doesn't have the domineering look before. Her figure makes people feel so weak.

"In the end, I can't bear the piercing sight around me, so I can only put on a mask and escape from reality." As Ma said, she turned to look at Reimu, and said, "Even if Reimu doesn't I'm aware of those sights around me, but when she grows up, the painful reality that she's aware of will come, even if she doesn't want to, so Reimu will definitely treat me..."

After speaking, Grandma fell silent, probably, what she wanted to talk about was resentment.

After being silent for a while, with Elrico and Rumia bowing their heads, Grandma stood up, put her hands on her hips and laughed and said, "Ahahaha, really, I accidentally turned into a gloomy one." The topic is off, you two, forget what I just said!" After being silent, Rumia said softly, "I said..."

"Eh?" Grandma turned around strangely, looked at Rumia and said, "What did you just say?"

At this time, a beautiful firework suddenly bloomed behind Grandma. The explosion of the firework awakened Reimu from his sleep. Grandma turned her head to look at the fireworks and sighed loudly: "Oh! It's started here we go!"

"Wow~~!!" Lingmeng stared at the fireworks with wide eyes, and said in surprise, "That's...that's amazing!"

Then, Reimu broke free from Rumia's arms, ran to the shrine, and said to Elrico, "Elrico, Reimu is going to thump~boom~"

Ellie Kone got up and said, "Ah, I just bought this...Okay, okay."

At this moment, Rumia, who had been clenching her fists tightly and keeping her head down in silence, suddenly stood up and growled, "I'm telling you!"

"Wow!" Grandma was taken aback, turned around and said, "What, it's suddenly so loud..."

"Reimu..." Rumia lowered her head and said in a trembling voice, "I won't hate you, absolutely not, Reimu is not that kind of child."[

"Although I also know that there is no basis, and I don't know how other guys saw you, but... but..." Rumia said, raising her head, her face was already wet with tears, Let my mother be a little dazed.

"At least... I'm grateful... So, don't say such sad words..." After speaking, Rumia walked towards Reimu and said, "That's all I want to say..."

'Without you, I would not have been redeemed from the cannibalism of the End. '

'Without you, I wouldn't have met Reimu. '

'Without you, I would still be eating people in a daze. '

'I don't know what I would do without you. '

'It was you who saved me. '

'It was you who redeemed me. '

'It was you who led me. '

'So, at least, I am grateful to you, please don't be sad anymore. '

"Rumia, it's too slow!" Reimu, who came out with Elrico who seemed to know what was going on outside with a smile on her face, waved her hands while holding the fireworks in her hand, "Rumi Ya, it's too slow!"

"Yes, yes, yes~ I know, I know~" Rumia patted her head naively, dried her eyes and walked towards Reimu.
