"Wow……"

"Wow……"

Two exclamations came from the mouths of little Lingmeng and grandma.

In front of them was a table full of luxurious dishes.

This is a luminous dish made by Xia Bai himself by equipping it with Little Master's character card.

Although a gourmet tablecloth can transform food, when it comes to delicious food, a chef from a top chef is even better.

Although Xiaodangjia only has a blue card, the level of cooking is definitely above the orange level.

"This... is too exaggerated... the food... the food is actually glowing!"

Grandma said in surprise, of course it would be better if she could take off that mask.

Sniff~sniff~

Little Reimu was lying on the edge of the table, sniffing in front of a plate of mapo tofu, and her stomach growled.

“It smells so good~”

Little Lingmeng's eyes narrowed and she said in a sweet voice.

"Come and take a seat~"

Xia Bai said something and then sat down cross-legged.

In the shrine, the table they used was not a Chinese high-top table, but a low-top table close to the floor. Xia Bai was not used to kneeling, so she sat cross-legged on the floor.

The same goes for grandma. She is not the kind of woman who is a lady, but has a tomboyish personality, so like Xia Bai, she sat down cross-legged.

"Don't sound like this is your territory~"

Grandma muttered and helped little Lingmeng fill a bowl of rice.

"I'm gonna start now!"

With the big white rice placed in front of him, Little Reimu would not be polite anymore.

"I said, you don't bring this big suitcase with you when you eat, right?"

"Huh??" Xia Bai's words made her mother stunned for a moment, and then she realized that she was still wearing the box-like mask at this time.

Phew~ Grandma threw the box on her head.

A girl with long brown hair and an heroic appearance appeared in front of Xia Bai.

"So...so beautiful...grandma..."

Little Reimu, who was taking big mouthfuls of rice and delicacies, was stunned. In fact, this was the first time she had seen her grandma at such a big age.

"Don't... don't be nagging... eat your food..."

Grandma's face turned slightly red when Reimu praised her, but there was nothing she could do about it. Grandma never took off her mask in front of Reimu.

But today's food is so delicious...and by chance, she brought a huge mask in a big box...This is very uncomfortable...

And there is...

This is the first time...

Hakurei Miko, who has always been feared by people...

The first time she ate food cooked for her by someone else...

Although it feels strange...

But I want to try it...even once...

"You...you...are you talking about the wine~"

Grandma blushed and changed the subject.

“Here~ I’ll treat you to a drink today~”

Buzz~

King Xia Bai's treasure house was opened, and ten bottles and jars flew out.

Wow...

Xia Bai picked up a wine pot, the golden aged wine traced a trajectory in the air, and poured it into the cup in front of her grandma.

A strong aroma of wine floated in the air.

"Hmm~"

Grandma took a deep breath: "It is indeed a rare wine in the world~"

"That's~ This is a fine wine that only the gods could drink during the Age of Gods. You will never find it anywhere else except me."

The wine of the gods, although grandma was a little suspicious of Xia Bai's bragging, but smelling the aroma of wine that filled the whole room, she felt that it was not so exaggerated.

After all, this is an incredible Gensokyo, so no matter how exaggerated things happen, they are not an exaggeration.

"Come and cheers~ for today's new friends~"

Xia Bai grinned and raised his wine glass and said to his mother.

"Well... friends..."

The expression on Grandma's face was unnatural. How should I put it? This was the first time in her life that someone had spoken to her so frankly about such things as friends.

Even the monster idler, although they have a good relationship, has never expressed it so openly.

And Xia Bai...

This is the first human being who is not afraid of her at all and communicates with her on an equal footing...

perhaps……

perhaps……

Maybe you can try it??

In fact... she has been lonely for a long time, doesn't she long for friends? But... does Hakurei Miko... have the right to have friends?

"Hey~ What are you doing standing still~ Hold up the cup~"

"Hmph~ You don't need to remind me~"

Aunt Boli came back to her senses, snorted, then quickly raised her cup and touched it with Xia Bai.

Then he drank it down in one gulp.

Friends? Then... try to make contact?

"Hmm!" When the wine was in her mouth, Grandma Boli's eyes widened instantly!

“Great wine!!”

"I now believe this is the wine of the gods!"

Grandma Boli put the cup on the table, then took a bite of sweet and sour pork with her chopsticks.

"tasty!"

“It’s amazing! It’s the first time I’ve eaten something so delicious!”

“Such delicious food paired with such fine wine! What a blessing!”

"Hahahaha~ You are so complimentary~"

Xia Bai smiled and filled Grandma Boli's mouth again: "Let's go one~"

bump!

The two parties had a drink again~

"Wow~ This is simply the best dinner I have had in the past twenty years~"

It turns out that grandma is twenty years old~ Xia Bai thought to himself...

In the original work, Grandma's age is not mentioned, but since she is Reimu's adoptive mother, she probably won't be a girl in her mid-teens or sixteens...

"Now~ Come to think of it~ As friends, how should I call you~? I can't call you grandma like Reimu did, right?"

"Hmm~ What's your name~"

Grandma put one hand on the table to support her face, and with the other hand she picked up the wine bottle and poured herself another glass of wine.

"I haven't used my name for a long time...so long that I have forgotten my name..."

"The people at the foot of the mountain all call me Hakurei Miko... because Hakurei Miko possesses powerful power... They just need Hakurei Miko to help them expel monsters at the right time. It doesn't matter whether I have a name or not..."

"Perhaps, one day, you will also alienate me..."

Grandma Boli drank two glasses of wine in a row and shook her head with a bit of self-deprecation...

Feeling a little distressed...

Of course Xia Bai knew the situation of Hakurei Grandma, or it could be said that Hakurei witches had always been like this in the past.
