In Fantasy Town, people are kept by various rich women

"By the way, Reimu... do you feel that the light over there has gotten a little dim?"

Luo Kong and Reimu were sitting in the courtyard in a daze, when suddenly, from the corner of Luo Kong's eye, he saw a human-shaped black shadow swaying and appearing at the edge of the shrine's gate.

It was as if it emerged from the ground out of thin air.

"Ah... that? Maybe he's hungry and is asking for food?"

Reimu didn't seem surprised by its appearance.

For some reason, one day after the banquet, when Reimu was having lunch, she ran into this black shadow hiding at the door of the shrine and secretly peeking out, as if looking for something.

Because there were so many monsters hanging out in the shrine, she didn't take it seriously at first. But this guy seemed to have not found what he wanted, so he kept staring at the food on her table.

Reimu, feeling uncomfortable being stared at, had no choice but to leave some leftovers on the ground. She turned around, and when she looked towards the door, the black shadow had disappeared along with the food.

Originally, Reimu thought that this matter was over...

As a result, after that, she could occasionally be seen at the entrance of the shrine.

I guess he comes here to ask for food when he's hungry, and it's considered a regular meal time.

So sometimes Reimu would hide it from Yakumo Yukari and deliberately make some extra leftovers and leave them in the kitchen.

This is probably one of the reasons why the food reserves in the shrine were used up so quickly.

Thinking of this, Reimu couldn't help but sigh.

Those who come to eat for free are all monsters. It would be strange if the worshippers were not scared away.

.........

Rumya was looking at Luo Kong with some confusion at this time.

Although, ever since she opened the bag that the human left for her last time and found a lot of delicious food inside, she remembered the smell of the bag and followed the direction that the human came from to find this shrine.

However, she still couldn't find the human being.

But she met another person who was willing to give her food...a witch who was much taller than her.

Although these foods don’t look as delicious as the ones given by the male human...but for her who has been hungry, as long as it is food, it will taste good!

Therefore, Lumia also discovered a new way to obtain food.

That means coming to the shrine to beg for food.

But there seems to be one more person today?

Just when Rumia was a little confused, she saw the human walked up to her, squatted down, and looked at her with a smile.

"This little guy looks familiar."

Luo Kong looked at the familiar black shadow and the little golden head that was accidentally exposed, thought for a moment, and then he suddenly realized.

"Oh, it was that night..."

Before he could finish, he saw the shadow approaching Luo Kong and sniffing him like a puppy.

"Wow! It's a delicious human!"

Rumia recognized Luo Kong's scent and became so happy that she even forgot to maintain the darkness that was hiding herself.

She revealed her figure, opened her mouth, and bit Luo Kong's arm.

"Hey! What delicious human? I'm not food!"

Luo Kong looked at the little guy who jumped into his hands with a frown on his face, and pulled it off.

Fortunately, this guy didn't bite hard, so he wasn't hurt.

Rumiya, who was pulled off, blinked her silly eyes, looking a little stupid and a little confused.

"Huh? Is that so?"

"of course!"

Luo Kong pinched the ear of the little guy who was thinking about eating him right away.

"Ugh... it hurts so much when the human pinches you..."

Rumia's chubby face showed an uncomfortable look, but she did not resist. Instead, she let Luo Kong do whatever he wanted.

Seeing the little girl suddenly become docile, Luo Kong did not embarrass her anymore, but picked her up.

"Hey! Reimu, I caught this guy."

Holding Rumia's collar, Luo Kong placed her on the ground of the shrine.

Although this guy has been begging for some time, this is the first time Reimu has seen the true face of this begging monster.

Her eyes subconsciously lingered on the bow made of red and white talisman ribbons. Reimu was slightly absent-minded, but was soon awakened by the rumbling of Rumya's stomach.

“I’m hungry…”

Rumia raised her head and looked at Luo Kong and Reimu, and a trace of saliva appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"....You should eat some dessert first."

Feeling that if he let this little girl continue talking, she would say something that would make Reimu unable to help but retreat on the spot, Luo Kong casually took out a small cake specially for lolita and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Woohoo...Human...delicious!"

Rumia showed a happy expression while chewing.

"Should I say the cake is delicious?"

Luo Kong corrected her, but only received a confused look.

"Is that right?"

Looking at Rumya's innocent look, Luo Kong nodded.

"That's right, humans are not delicious, cakes are delicious!"

"Humans are not delicious, but cakes are delicious! Um... remember that!"

Rumia nodded, swallowed the cake in her mouth, and then looked at Reimu again.

"..... Stop staring at me like that.. Can I go get the food?"

Reimu, who couldn't stand being stared at, stood up, ran to the kitchen, took out the leftovers that had been prepared for her, and placed them in front of her.

The little fellow looked at the food in front of him with shining eyes, and after a cheer, he swallowed all the leftovers in two or three bites. Then he touched his soft belly contentedly, burped, and looked at Reimu again with eyes full of joy.

"Rei..Dream?"

"you know me?"

Reimu was a little surprised to hear the little guy's voice.

Although the title of Hakurei's shrine maiden is relatively well-known in Gensokyo, unfamiliar monsters tend to call her Hakurei's shrine maiden, and it is rare to see people calling her Reimu directly.

In response to Reimu's question, the blond little monster in front of him thought carefully for a moment, then shook his head.

"I have no idea...."

In fact, Rumia herself didn't know why, but when she saw Reimu's cheek, these two words inexplicably appeared in her mind.

Luo Kong was standing behind, watching the interaction between Rumia and Reimu with a smile.

"Come to think of it, I don't even know your name."

Luo Kong touched Rumia's little head and asked.

"Lumya!"

Lumia answered without hesitation.

"Lumya's name is Lumya!"

The little guy seemed very proud of his name and answered very loudly.

Luo Kong nodded, touched Rumia's little head, and began to introduce.

"My name is Luo Kong, and her name is Reimu."

"Luo Kong?"

Rumya nodded in understanding, then raised her little face and shouted this to Luo Kong.

"Dad~"

"Cough-cough-"

Reimu was drinking tea when she choked and her expression became quite interesting.

Before she could say anything, she saw Rumia's eyes turned and looked directly at Reimu. After thinking for a while, she was about to speak...

"Stop! Don't yell, I don't want to be your mother!"

Reimu quickly stopped Lumia's actions.

"?"

Rumya showed a look of disgust on her face.

"Reimu is so narcissistic...Rumia didn't want to call you mom in the first place!"

Reimu: “….”

No, although she really didn't want to be called mom by her, but when this little brat said that, she always felt a little bit uncomfortable in her heart...

It was Luo Kong who corrected Rumya's address again.

"Please spare me that title. You can call me Luo Kong or brother."

"Okay... Luo Kong."

After hearing what Luo Kong said, Rumia could only nod with some disappointment.

After that, Luo Kong asked Rumya a few more questions and got a general understanding of the situation.

It seems that Lumia is just a little monster who has no fixed place to live and wanders around in the forest...

"Lumiya, do you want to have food to eat every day from now on?"

Realizing that Reimu seemed to care about Rumia inexplicably, Luo Kong suddenly had an unreliable idea.

Hearing Luo Kong's words, Rumia's eyes lit up instantly.

"Really? Lumia wants it!"

After getting the answer, Luo Kong turned his gaze to Reimu.

"Reimu, are you interested in adopting...?"

"In no mood--"

Before Luo Kong could finish speaking, the proposal was immediately rejected.

"I don't have any money myself, how can I afford to support her?"

Reimu gave a very convincing reason...

If Luo Kong hadn't helped her these few days, she would have almost been unable to make ends meet. Where would she get the spare money to feed another mouth?

Looking at Rumya's disappointed face, Luo Kong was about to say that if Reimu didn't want to, she could go back to the Scarlet Devil Mansion with him, but he saw Rumya rummaging around in her body and found a dirty copper coin -

She found this in a forest near the village....

She had heard from other monsters that this thing could be exchanged for food, but she didn't know how, so she kept it.

It wasn't until Reimu mentioned that she had no money that she remembered it.

"Reimu, money..."

Rumia looked at Reimu who took the copper coin with some confusion, and immediately smiled happily.

"Reimu, you have money now, so you can support me, right?"

Reimu: “…”

Looking at Rumya's innocent and somewhat silly expression, I couldn't help but mutter to myself.

This guy...is he really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?
