It is said that Sun Pillar-sama is the god of fire

"Yeah, rare visitor."

Pulling open the wooden door, the black-haired young man raised his eyebrows, looking at the crimson figure outside the door in feigned surprise.

"I don't know why Lord Vulcan is free to visit the humble house today?"

The people outside the door seemed quite dissatisfied with his words. They pointed their slender and strong fingers between the young man's brows, and his tone was full of helplessness.

"Okay, it's just that you didn't come yesterday, why are you angry with me?"

"Will you not let me in?"

Only then did the young man move away, and leaned aside with his arms folded, watching the figure slowly walking in without saying a word.

"Why don't you light the lamp?" The visitor said, raising the flame casually, and the dilapidated lampstand trembled slightly, and the dim light of the fire illuminated the originally dark room. bright field.

The black-haired young man was silent, not wanting to say that if the Vulcan didn't come, he actually had no intention of lighting the lamp all night.

His room was still dilapidated.It's not that Zamen Tanjiro never thought about taking him as a child to find a better place to live, but he refused.

Even though he knew that he was abandoned by the family, if he just left casually like this, the Ubayashiki clan would not just pretend that they didn't know anything, and would probably look for them secretly.

After all, he is what they call a "monster"?

If it is rumored that the birth house clan is raising a monster, it may greatly damage the reputation of that clan.

He didn't want to cause trouble for Tanjirou.

It was already late autumn, and the wind at night was already quite cold. Yue Yan didn't close the door tightly for a while, and a cold autumn wind went straight through the crack of the door.

Caught off guard by the cold wind, the young man covered his mouth and coughed a few times, and slightly gathered his clothes, hoping to resist the slight cold.

"Why don't you close the door?" Hearing the young man's muffled cough, Zamon Tanjiro hurriedly turned around and walked to the door. After making sure that the door was tightly closed so that no cold air would leak in, he looked aggressively at the thinly dressed young man, His brows furrowed tightly.

"Why are you wearing so little? It's getting cold now, you should pay more attention to keeping warm..."

Seeing that Kagami was about to start nagging again, the black-haired young man quickly raised his hand to express his surrender, not wanting to give Tanjiro Kamado a chance to continue his development.

Sometimes he really doubts whether the god in front of him has made a mistake, why he keeps going in the direction of the old lady and never returns.

It has been more than ten years since they met for the first time.Yueyan has also grown from a soft and soft little dumpling to a handsome and tall young man.

It's hard to imagine that he, who was in such poor health back then, can live safely until now, and even become a full adult in the next year.

At that time, he should be able to leave this cramped and remote hut completely, and really live with Tanjirou.

"Have you finished reading all these books?" Tanjiro Kamado couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the books piled up on one side, "It's so fast!"

In the past ten years, he sometimes found some books for the naive children to learn from.I'm ashamed to say that he, who used to be a carbon seller, didn't have much knowledge himself, he could barely read.If it wasn't for becoming a god after learning a lot of knowledge without a teacher, I'm afraid he would make a joke in front of Yue Yan.

Kamado Tanjiro had to praise Tsukihiko's intelligence, no matter how bitter and obscure the content, this kid can always absorb and understand it at a terrifying speed, which makes people have to marvel at the talent of the black-haired kid.

Vulcan once sighed that such a talent was not known to the world, but Yue Yan didn't care about these false names at all.In other words, apart from the gods who have always accompanied him growing up, there is nothing that can make him care too much.

Reading is just a way to pass the boring time when the gods are not there.

"Then how many more books should I bring you?" Carefully wrapping up the books that the young man had finished reading, Kamado Tanjirou turned his head and asked the young man sitting on the bed.

Yue Yan gave a soft "um" and didn't say anything more.

The dim light blurred the god's face, but those crimson eyes still shone brightly in the darkness.The black-haired young man quietly watched Vulcan's figure, his jet-black eyes were full of Vulcan's busy appearance at the moment.

More than ten years have passed, and he who has grown up completely is even slightly taller than Vulcan, who is still a boy.The children who could only snuggle in the arms of the gods can already turn around and embrace the gods in their arms.

Time has never left traces on the gods, whether it is the black costume worn by Kamado Tanjiro, the pair of brand-new flower earrings, or the never-changing appearance of the gods, they all seem to be Silently telling the difference between them like a moat.

He is just an ordinary human being, not to mention that he has many chronic illnesses, and he may die of a sudden illness one day.Even if he is a healthy human being, he will have to die in the world within a hundred years at most.

But Kamado Tanjiro is different, as long as there are still believers of Vulcan, he can exist in this world almost forever, and will always be so gentle and kind to his believers, and it will not change for thousands of years.

He was not reconciled.

Not reconciled, he could only become a passer-by in the long life of the god, and finally annihilated in the long memory of the Vulcan, and could no longer be found.

"Why didn't you take any medicine today..." Tanjiro Kamado looked at the almost untouched bitter soup in distress, feeling very headache.

The child has been reluctant to drink medicine since he was a child, and he has to coax him with candied fruit every time before he can drink the medicine with a frown. Several times he forgot to bring candied fruit, and as a result, the child who drank the medicine would not be able to drink it for several days. Willing to ignore him.

"You didn't bring me candied fruit?" Yue Yan raised his eyebrows, but looked at Vulcan with a puzzled expression, as if he had tacitly agreed that bringing him candied fruit was a perfectly natural thing.

Zamon Tanjirou choked slightly, and it took him a long time to remember to take out the warm candied fruit from his arms, and it took him a long time to find his voice.

"Why are you still acting like a baby when you were a child." He felt a little amused.Although the young man in front of him is already a head taller than him, perhaps because of the severe filter in his childhood, the young man is still like a child in his eyes.

Vulcan quietly watched the young man frown tightly when he swallowed the medicine, his handsome face was wrinkled by the bitter taste of the medicine.Hastily stuffing a piece of candied fruit was barely able to stretch his expression.

The more he stared at the young man's face, the more strange feeling he seemed to have neglected for a long time crept into his heart.It was like little ants kept crawling across his heart, making him feel uncomfortable, but he had no idea about this feeling.

Yue Yan didn't have it when he was a child, but when the child's facial features gradually stretched out, the weird feeling became more profound, almost making Vulcan feel like he was in danger.

But how is it possible - there is no source of those tragedies in this world, and ghosts do not exist in this world at all.

Although tragedies still happen all the time, compared to the Vulcan once existed, the tragic world created by that man is much better.

Maybe he just thought too much.

"Good boy—" Reaching out to take the bowl with only a little medicine residue left, Kamado Tanjiro narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile as if praising a child, successfully making the young man's face blank for a moment.

"I'm not a child anymore!" Yue Yan finally couldn't hold back, and retorted in a low voice.

Although he was really just a child compared to the gods for his age, due to some wonderful self-esteem, the youth who is about to grow up especially does not want to be treated like this.

"Haha." Kamado Tanjirou shook his head and chuckled, not piercing the young man's subtle psychology.

Putting the bowl aside, he looked at the young man quietly, Yue Yan's tall and thin figure was reflected in his crimson eyes.

"If you drink the medicine properly, this winter should not be so difficult."

The young man shrugged, no matter how much he hated the bitter taste of medicine, he couldn't refute the words of the god.

One year, he probably didn't pay attention to keeping warm in the winter, and was hit by the cold wind and had a high fever.In a daze, he seemed to hear the extremely anxious call of Vulcan, and an extremely comfortable warm current flowed into his body from nowhere, and he didn't know how long it lasted.

When he finally woke up, all he could see was Vulcan, who was almost collapsed beside his bed, and his hands tightly clenched by Vulcan.

Without Tanjiro's company, he might not have known which winter night he froze to death, or died in a sudden illness.

After frowning and looking at Vulcan for a long time, Yue Yan hesitated to reveal the things that had been stuck in his heart.

"Tanjiro, I met a very strange doctor today."

I don't know where that weird doctor came from, and I don't know why the doctor was able to find him so accurately. Yue Yan didn't want to manage that weird guy at first, but he didn't expect that the doctor's next words would make him Can't drive each other away.

The doctor said that he could completely cure his disease.

This doctor seems to have a very special medicine, which can not only completely cure his stubborn illness, but even make him live forever.

It's just that the drug is flawed.

The doctor didn't tell him what the defect of the medicine was, but only said that it lacked a medicinal herb that could never be found in this world - the blue Bana flower.The medicine would not be complete without that flower.

Yue Yan originally scoffed at this, thinking that the doctor was talking nonsense.

Where is there a medicine that can free human beings from birth, old age, sickness and death?It's not a world in a storybook.

But he didn't know why he was confused by what at that time, so he accidentally accepted the doctor's contact information.

Zamon Tanjiro obviously felt that the doctor must be unreliable, and warned Yue Yan not to listen to the rumors of charlatans.

"Besides, Tsukihiko will be an adult next year. Maybe his body will get better and better after he becomes an adult!"

"Look, don't there often be stories like this, children with weak constitutions become healthy adults, and all aspects begin to flourish."

"I said this is not the world in the storybook..." Yue Yan sighed softly, he had more things to care about than this ethereal and boundless thing.

"When I become an adult...will you still be with me?"

He did not forget that the gods came to him because of the wish to "protect him until he reaches adulthood".As the time of adulthood approached step by step, Yueyan inevitably began to feel anxious.

Will Tanjiro leave him when he becomes an adult?How can he completely retain the gods?

"Of course!" Kamado Tanjiro tilted his head, his deep red eyes were stained with a look of doubt, he really didn't understand how the black-haired youth would ask such a question.

"This winter may still be too cold. When Yue Yan is in better health, I'll take you to the Fire God Festival."

Vulcan narrowed his eyes, and the soft smile on his face was still clear and bright even in a dark room.

"Didn't Yue Yan always want to see my fire-jumping god Kagura, and then I can perform it for you."

He looked at the young man sitting on the bed with a dazed expression, the smile on his mouth was covered with orange red by the dim light, making it softer and warmer.

"We have a date."
