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

and also?

The word kept spinning and jumping back and forth in Vulcan's mind, and suddenly an extremely bold guess kept spinning in his mind.

Shouldn't...

"Are you also a god...?"

The same question was thrown back, but the child was not annoyed at all, and the blue pupils were even brighter under the sunlight.

"Sure enough, you are also a god! My name is Ye Bu, how about you?"

The blue-eyed child stretched out his hand, as if trying to pull him up.Using the strength of the child, Kamado Tanjiro leaned forward slightly, squatting in front of the child.

"My name is Tanjiro, and I am the god of fire."

As expected of a child, even a god can't get rid of the naughty and lively nature of a child.The boy who claimed to be Yebu took Vulcan's hand and ran outside quickly.

Although his father said that he was not allowed to talk to humans casually, but Tanjiro is a god, so it shouldn't matter, right?

"You're still the first god to talk to me."

Yabu ran down the mountain quickly, with a bright smile, and he still didn't forget to turn his head to talk to Kamado Tanjiro, those crystal blue eyes seemed to be colored by his happy emotions, making them more crystal clear and bright.

First……

Being dragged away by the child, Kamado Tanjirou suddenly felt a thump in his heart, seeing the happy look of the little god in front of him, he felt a sting in his throat, wondering if he should ask.

The child was finally tired from running, panting and leaning on the tree to rest, his face was covered with fine beads of sweat, and the smile on his face was still bright and bright.

The smell of joy spread into Vulcan's nose, but even if he didn't need to smell Vulcan, he could tell how happy the child was now.

"Tomorrow! Can I still come here to find you tomorrow?"

The child looked at him with bright eyes, which made Vulcan couldn't help reaching out and rubbing the child's head. The soft hair rubbed against the palm of his hand, causing an itchy touch.

Suddenly, the child god who was so intimately contacted blushed, subconsciously reached out and wanted to take Vulcan's hand off, but was really reluctant to part with the warm touch, curled his lips after hesitating for a long time, and complained in a low voice: "You are the first child besides father Someone who pats my head."

"Father……?"

Kamado Tanjiro was a little puzzled. In his impression, gods were born from human prayers. Where did the father come from?

"I am a god born from my father's wish." Ye Bu's original bright eyes slowly dimmed, and he looked at Vulcan in front of him with some anxiety.

He was just born from the wishes of others, and he is the last existence among the 800 million gods.

He does not have his own shrine, does not have a large number of believers, and even many gods who think they are noble and powerful look down on him.

"You are still the first god who does not dislike me."

He has also heard of Vulcan's / name, and once sneaked into Vulcan's shrine, looking at the endless stream of believers and the magnificent shrine, he was full of envy.

There is no god who doesn't want to have a shrine of his own, even though his father had said he didn't need that kind of thing.

After hearing his story, the Vulcan in front of him showed no disgust at all, and still looked at him tenderly.

Ye Bu stared blankly at those crimson eyes, almost immersed in the drowning tenderness, and there was a secret excitement and warmth in his heart.

"Tomorrow, of course."

Even though he knew that the child in front of him was a god like him, Kamado Tanjiro couldn't help but think of his younger siblings, and became more gentle towards the child.

As if he had received some huge promise, Ye Bu laughed, and those crystal blue pupils were full of dazzling light again.

"Ah, Fei!"

As if seeing an acquaintance, the child reluctantly said goodbye to Vulcan.

"Then we have an appointment, and we will meet here tomorrow!"

I don't know where the young god learned it, and I stretched out my little finger to flirt with him.

Tanjiro Kamado smiled lightly, stretched out his hand from Shanruliu and hooked the child, watching the child run further and further away.

He also didn't expect that the first time he met other gods would be in such a situation.

However, the faint smell of blood that had been lingering on the child still lingered in Vulcan's mind.

And... I don't know if it was his illusion, he always felt that the child had a very strange sense of disobedience, but he couldn't feel any trace of malice in the child.

Even though they only met once, Vulcan is very interested in Ye Bu.

****

When Zamon Tanjiro arrived at the place agreed yesterday the next day, Yabu was already waiting there.

As soon as the child saw him, he waved at him from a distance, even if he didn't look closely at Kamado Tanjirou, he could still imagine the smile on his face.

Vulcan quickened his pace, and was about to open his arms to pick up the child, when a smell of blood wafted into his nose unexpectedly.

He paused, then picked up the child as if nothing had happened, and as expected, he saw the smiling face of the young god.

"You're really here!"

Ye Bu said in his heart that it was impossible for Vulcan to go to the appointment, so he specially asked Fei to go back with a gift for his father early, and then carefully washed his hands before coming here to wait.

"Of course, the agreed things must be done." Vulcan said.

I don't know whether the sun is really bright today, or the Vulcan itself makes people feel warm. The young god feels as if he is immersed in hot water, and his whole body is warm.

However, seeing the smile on the child's face, Vulcan's crimson eyes couldn't help being tinged with worry.

There is no doubt that the bloody smell came from the child god in front of him, and it was stronger than yesterday.

But he secretly checked the child's body, and he didn't see any wounds at all, and the other party didn't want to look injured.

Kamado Tanjiro really couldn't think of it, and he didn't want to think about how this bloody smell came from.

"Tanjiro, where are we going to play today?"

Ye Bu, who was still pure-hearted, didn't notice the worry in Vulcan's heart at all, turned around and asked with a smile, his tone light.

"Where does Ye Bu want to go?"

"Hmm..." The child lowered his head and thought about it for a while.

"Human Bazaar!"

"I want to go to the human market with Tanjirou!"

He saw that many adults would take their children to the market together. His father would not take him there, and he didn’t feel that way when he went with Fei. This time he would like to take Tanjiro to the human market. have a look.

Even if it was far less prosperous than it was a thousand years ago, the market is still very lively.Countless hawkers set up shops, and all kinds of goods are displayed in front of them, which is simply dizzying.

There is a sweet and greasy smell floating in the street, presumably it is a vendor of candied haws or apple candy.

Vulcan held the hand of the still young God of Fujin, like two ordinary drops of water, quietly blending into the crowd.

Ordinary people would not easily see them, and it did not affect the two of them hanging out, nor did it affect their shopping.

Otherwise, the strange combination of the two of them would attract the attention of others.

Vulcan looked at the luxurious kimono that he still couldn't change, and then looked at the very simple clothes on the child next to him, feeling a little helpless.

But it's been a long time since he came to the fair in such a relaxed way, Kamado Tanjirou couldn't help but feel the lively atmosphere quietly.

In order to feed the family, he mainly came to sell charcoal and buy some food, so he didn't have much time to wander around; later, he took his younger sister to join the ghost killing team, and he went to train every day to kill ghosts, and he didn't have that much time to spare. Affection.

Speaking of which, it's been a long time since he brought a child like Ye Bu to the market.

"Tanjiro!"

Suddenly being pulled by the sleeve of the child, Vulcan subconsciously lowered his head, only to see Ye Bu holding a beautifully crafted bamboo butterfly in front of him, as if to give it to him.

The brain was a little slow for half a beat, Kamado Tanjiro suddenly reacted, and immediately squatted down/body, with a somewhat urgent tone:

"Yebu, where did you get it?"

"There--" The child didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and pointed with his hand, a small stall full of exquisite things like bamboo butterflies and bamboo dragonflies appeared in Vulcan's eyes.

The vendor didn't seem to notice that he was missing a bamboo butterfly, and he was still sitting there, quite bored.

Kamado Tanjiro suddenly looked serious, and without saying a word, he took the child by the hand and pulled him to the vendor.

The child was taken aback by the suddenly serious Vulcan, and obediently followed Vulcan's side, not daring to speak.

"Boss, how do you sell this?"

Holding up the bamboo butterfly in the child's hand, Kamado Tanjirou asked.

It was only then that the vendor noticed that he was missing a bamboo butterfly. After paying the money, Tanjiro still looked confused. For some reason, a customer suddenly appeared in front of him.

However, Vulcan had already pulled Ye Bu aside with a serious face, and there was no one to be found.

Tanjiro Kamado didn't say a word, and Yabu, who thought he had offended him, didn't dare to speak, and an eerie silence spread between the two of them.

Pulling the child aside, Kamado Tanjirou silently handed over the bamboo butterfly in his hand, but the child hesitated and took it for a long time.

Seeing the child take the bamboo butterfly, Vulcan sighed, and stroked the child's soft hair as if to comfort him.

"Yebu, it's wrong to secretly take other people's things. If you want something, you have to buy it with money."

"Is it... wrong to take other people's things?"

The young gods have no concept of right or wrong, even Vulcan still looks confused when he says this.

"But my father said that whatever the gods do is right."

Right and wrong are divided by people, and gods have no concept of right and wrong.

Vulcan was silent for a moment, then sighed helplessly.

"But those things are the fruits of other people's labor, aren't they?"

"If you want to get something from someone else, you have to exchange it with something else. Otherwise, it's a robbery or a theft, which is wrong."

The child nodded half-understood, Kamado Tanjiro patted his head lightly as if to reward the child.

"Then, tell me what Ye Bu wants next, and let's go buy it together, shall we?"
