In Fantasy Town, people are kept by various rich women

The light dispelled the darkness and finally allowed her to see the scene in front of her clearly.

The gentle woman was wearing a large witch costume, holding a familiar broom in her hand, and was humming a song while sweeping the floor.

The tall blond monster sat on the wooden steps, with a guilty look in his eyes as he reached out his hand towards the plate of senbei beside him.

However, just as she picked up the rice ball, the witch who was sweeping the floor spoke up to stop her.

"Lumya——"

"Lumya, haven't you already finished your portion?"

The priestess' voice came out with a hint of dissatisfaction, but the still-old Rumia gritted her teeth and stuffed it into her mouth at lightning speed, then puffed her cheeks and responded in a vague and very innocent tone.

"What are you talking about! Bo Li, we haven't eaten yet!"

Bo Li: "......"

As if she was irritated by Rumya who was playing dumb in front of her, Hakurei shook her head and then sighed.

"If Reimu comes back and gets mad at you, I won't care!"

Sure enough, as these words came out, Hakurei and Rumia looked towards the door together, and happened to see Reimu standing timidly at the door.

Her young face was covered with tears without her noticing.

"Ama....Mia?"

"......See, I told you! It's because you're greedy that you made Reimu angry!"

Hakurei glared at Rumia beside her with annoyance.

Rumya, who was being scolded, quickly swallowed the snack in her mouth and turned her eyes away with a guilty look.

"Well...well, at worst I can just go buy another one..."

Rumia, who was caught red-handed, stammered and tried to make excuses for a while, but finally, under Hakurei's resentful gaze, she lowered her head and apologized to Reimu.

"I'm sorry, Reimu...it's my fault, don't be angry~"

However, Reimu, whose eyes were already filled with tears, shook her head.

"I'm not angry..."

"Then why are you crying? Are you hurt somewhere?"

Bo Li put the broom aside, a hint of worry appearing on her face.

Reimu shook her head again, wiped her tears and gave an innocent smile.

"I just... I don't know why, but I suddenly feel very happy!"

Young Reimu opened her arms and ran towards the shrine maiden and the blonde monster in front of her, as if she wanted to hug them tightly.

But...it was like an illusion, and the two figures disappeared like bubbles.

The scene in front of me gradually began to flow...

"Reimu? Mom is going out to prepare things for the party, remember to look after the house! Oh, and don't run around in the shrine anymore, or the gods will be angry!"

The gentle woman with a ponytail squatted down, touched Reimu's little head and gave her some advice. Then she unceremoniously instructed Mia, who had a bitter face, to carry a big bag and walk excitedly towards the crowd.

The young Reimu looked at their backs naively, nodded, and then rolled around on the tatami out of boredom.

However, her attention was quickly drawn to a small torii gate in the backyard of the shrine.

Strange, was there a torii there before?

Reimu stood up curiously and slowly approached the torii gate that was only one person's height.

Then, when she stepped over the strange torii gate, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.

The courtyard was still the same courtyard, but it had become dirty and messy, as if no one had taken care of it.

Behind him was still the familiar wooden house in the shrine, but it was much more dilapidated than before.

The sudden change startled Reimu, and she ran back into the cabin in fear.

But found...

On the old tatami that made a creaking sound when stepped on, a strange man in a black robe was lying on the ground, leaning against the wall.

His face was covered with a strange model photo album, and if you listened carefully, you could seem to hear faint snoring.

However, as if he heard the noise around him, the man soon stopped snoring, slightly pulled off the photo album covering his face, and met the eyes of the timid Reimu beside him.

The man yawned and spoke with some doubt.

"Where did this little devil come from..."

"Are you...are you God?"

The man and Reimu spoke at the same time.

"..."

The man was silent for a moment, then he looked at the red and white witch costume worn by the little kid in front of him and couldn't help but laugh.

"God? I'm not something so noble. I'm just a businessman staying here."

He walked up to Reimu and squatted down.

"Little ghost, you are not the shrine maiden of this shrine, are you?"

Reimu looked around at the unfamiliar interior of the house and shook her head subconsciously.

"That's good. I thought I accidentally found a place with people to stay overnight."

The man in front of him waved his hand, and some snacks and juice appeared in front of him.

"In that case, then finish eating and go back quickly, otherwise your family will be worried if they can't find you."

"But I don't know how to get back..."

Reimu looked at the man in front of her with a slightly confused expression, which made the latter feel helpless.

Why does this little Hakurei kid look so silly?

After complaining in his mind, the man finally sighed.

"Forget it, I'll take you back after we finish eating."

Finally, after a brief mental struggle, the man sighed softly and sat cross-legged in front of Reimu.

"My name is Luo Kong, kid, what's your name?"

"Hakurei Reimu..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene in front of him turned into a phantom.

The surrounding scenes passed by quickly again...

.......

"Reimu, promise mom that you won't be picky about food and will eat more. Remember to take a bath on time every day and don't stay up late to get enough sleep! Also, you must study the lessons of the miko well and protect yourself..."

"Reimu, promise your mother that if one day your mother and Mia are gone, you will live a good life... okay?"

"Reimu......."

........

"You little devil, why are you here again?"

"Brother Luokong, help me, Amma and Mia are gone."

......

At the end of the scene, the young man in black robe squatted down, took out a strange stone slab, and then placed it on the ground.

"Feel sorry...."

Luo Kong looked at Reimu in front of him, who was silent and looked as if she was dead, and sighed.

Maybe...I shouldn't have come.

I'm sorry you had to see that.

So, until you can understand... forget it.

The pattern on the ground emitted a faint light.

........

Life at the shrine returned to peace.

It has been three years since Amma and Mia disappeared.

The now grown-up Reimu was sitting on the porch of the cabin.

The innocent smile on her face gradually lost its former appearance, and she just habitually stared at the light blue sky in the distance in a daze.

However, he didn't know that behind him, the young man in a black robe silently put down some daily necessities, looked at Reimu's back in the distance, sighed softly, and then his figure slowly faded away and disappeared into the house.

Without anyone noticing...

........

ps: I will skip the specific plot. For details, please search for You Lingmeng’s handwriting at Bilibili... It is a very heartwarming work.

Volume 2: Chapter 136 Reimu Awakens

Chapter 136

"It turns out that it was Mia who...killed my mother..."

Reimu had been watching all of this and knew it too.

This is probably the sealed memory.

Although I don't know why I met that guy when I was a child

But...it doesn't matter.

As if she had experienced it herself, when she saw Mia's hand piercing her mother's heart again, her eyes were dead.

You can call it retreat or cowardice.

After knowing that it was Mia who killed her mother, she didn't know how to face it.

She just wanted to stay here. At least by looking at the darkness in front of her, she wouldn't have to think anymore.

However....

Just like at the beginning.

In this space that had returned to darkness, spots of light suddenly appeared.

The surrounding atmosphere gradually became stagnant, like glass, cracks gradually appeared, and then suddenly shattered.

The fragments, carrying memories, fell to the ground and eventually reassembled into a new scene.

...........

“So hungry…”

Mia had a scarlet glow in one of her eyes, and was wandering weakly in the forest late at night.

Beside her, a demon sage wearing a Taoist robe and holding a parasol was looking at her with a complicated expression.

"If you keep doing this fearlessly, you will really die. Is it okay with you?"

"I... promised Hakurei that I would not eat people anymore... I won't break my promise..."

"But...it looks like you're enduring it in great pain."

These words did not come from the mouth of the Yokai Sage.

But the Hakurei Miko appeared behind her at some point in time.

The red talisman had wrapped around Mia's arms at some point, and the previous Hakurei priestess spoke slowly with a cold look on her face.

"Let me help you get rid of it..."
