The tall and strong ghost was half-crouching in front of him. This was an honor that no one else had ever had. The usually majestic and terrifying man couldn't help but be stunned at this moment. He almost thought he had heard it wrong.

"Little ghost, you are not mute?"

Tsukuyomi hesitated for a moment, did not answer his question, and repeated his request seriously and childishly.

“I don’t want to eat!”

Li Mei couldn't help but turn her head. Thanks to the sorcerer's good physical fitness, she heard it clearly just now. She wanted to get closer to hear it more clearly.

Ryoumen Sukuna noticed Rimei's actions, but didn't say anything. He just became more curious. He raised his other arm and pinched Tsukuyomi's chin roughly but carefully, looking left and right.

Not gentle

"So he's not mute..." He muttered to himself, as if he had discovered something new, and looked at the boy in front of him again.

He clearly realized that the little brat had indeed grown up compared to previous years. Not only that, he had also become bolder and even dared to bargain with him.

It's beautiful, but... it's too troublesome

“Must eat”

"I do not want!"

"..."

Tsukuyomi confronted Ryomen Sukuna with confidence, but then he realized that he was a little unsure and turned around to look at Rimei pitifully.

"Hehe...Rime..."

Who knew that the next second Ryoumen Sukuna stood up and took away the snake gall and inner elixir. Forget about eating them, he has plenty of ways to deal with them.

On the way back, Tsukuyomi had a high fever again as expected. The temperature was very high and took a long time to come down.

His little face was red, beads of sweat appeared on his nose, and he was half-closed his eyes, groaning uncomfortably, as if he was about to fall asleep.

"Wow, Rimei..."

Rimei sighed at Tsukuyomi's pitiful appearance, wiped the sweat off his face carefully, and said skillfully, "Hold on a little longer. The doctor just came to see him. He should be fine tomorrow."

Then he looked at Ryomen Sukuna with complicated eyes,

The arrogant Curse King was also feeling bad at the moment. Ever since he had a sympathetic relationship with Tsukuyomi, he had experienced the feeling of being a weakling for the first time in a long time. In the past, dying in a duel would have been a big deal for him.

It is the supreme honor

The strong man who moved with his heart was given an anchor point out of thin air. He could die in battle, in the flash of swords and shadows, in the duel with cursed spirits and monsters. This was the pride of the strong.

But he would never allow himself to be controlled by the weak and die from an unknown disease just because of a mere sense of empathy. This was the kind of weakness he had never experienced since he was born as the King of Curses!

Weird and evil curse patterns wrapped around his body like snakes, like shackles and like the supreme glory from the King of Curses. It was a proof and a symbol of identity.

Tsukuyomi is very sensible and never afraid of hardship, but he tends to show an unfamiliar softness in front of people close to him.

Because he was sick, he whimpered softly to express his discomfort, and his sleeping time became longer and longer, so he was only awake for a small half of the day.

Rimei sat aside, handling the affairs under Sukuna, lowering her eyes, while her hands moved quickly while observing the situation of Tsukuyomi Tsukumi.

Trying to detect something wrong with the owner from these complaining hums.

Li Mei, who was always cold and expressionless, felt unhappy.

He had sworn to follow Sukuna-sama forever, with no second thoughts. He had been through life and death with Sukuna-sama, his hands stained with blood and lives. Whenever he thought of the food stored in the ice cellar... he dared not look the child in the eye again.

Even though he has a hard heart, over the years, apart from following Sukuna-sama in battle, he has mostly been taking care of Tsukuyomi like a butler. He watched him grow up.

He never thought that this fool could speak,

"This is... the flower I carefully raised."

From a dirty and skinny kid to what he is today... Apart from Ryomen Sukuna's orders, since when did I start to have more responsibilities towards him?

Li Mei didn't know,

He single-handedly avenged his family's blood feud, followed Lord Sukuna in his campaigns, and obeyed his orders wholeheartedly like a retainer.

At first, Li Mei was very reluctant to accept the task of raising a child. How could her hands, which had been stained with so much blood, raise a frail and sickly child?

not to mention

He is a simple and kind god.

Can such a pure existence be carried by these hands filled with sin and hatred?

It turns out that

He did it, and he did it pretty well.

It is not easy to take care of a frail little god. Since when did you start to worry when you saw this child lying sick on the bed?

Love only begins when you feel the pain in your heart.

*

Ryomen Sukuna seemed to have discovered some interesting toys. Since they came back, he no longer went out to cause trouble. Instead, he was at odds with Tsukuyomi Tsukumi at home every day.

"Do you really think you're mute? Speak!"

"I do not!"

"laugh"

"..."

"You're young, but you have a bad temper. You're the first one who dares to act so unruly in front of me."

"The same to you!"

Ryomen Sukuna bent one leg, wearing a loose women's kimono, and her cherry pink short hair was blown by the cool night breeze, making her look extremely comfortable.

He sat aside and four hands moved at the same time. The hands that used to strangle other people's necks and take other people's lives now held the bowl and pinched the small spoon, which was extremely funny.

Tsukuyomi Tsukumi slept for most of the day without a drop of water. Rimei brought him food on time. Feeding him was originally Rimei's job, but it was taken away by Ryoumen Sukuna.

"Humph, your embarrassing appearance, like a kitten begging for food and being toyed with, is really a beautiful sight."

As he was feeding, he couldn't help but choke with Tsukuyomi, and the young ghost was unusually childish.

Tsukuyomi was about to faint from hunger, but instead of feeding him properly, he kept moving the spoon away in front of him, and each time he was just a little short of the mark.

It's like fishing, watching Tsukuyomi Tsukuyomi trying so hard to stretch his neck to get a bite of food, but still being unable to get anything.

Tsukuyomi Tsumi: "..."

He will be really angry!

A man has to bow his head under the eaves. Although he knew that Ryomen Sukuna had no ill will towards him and on the contrary cared about him very much, he sometimes couldn't help but be afraid of the other's fierce aura.

Tsukuyomi endured it. If Rimei was here, she would never let him go hungry. He softened his tone with a hint of compromise and said softly, "Sukuna-sama, I'm really hungry."

Ryoumen Sukuna paused, moved his scarlet eyes away from the porridge bowl, and glanced at him calmly.

"Oh."

Tsukuyomi Tsumi: "..."

"I'm really hungry! I'm starving, I want to eat!"

Ryoumen Sukuna remained in the same position, stirring the bowl of porridge calmly.

"I know"

Tsukuyomi Tsumi: "..."

He guessed that Liangmian Sukuna would not dare to do anything to him, so he held his breath for a while, then suddenly got up and smoothly snatched the porridge from Liangmian Sukuna's bowl, not daring to stop for a moment, with anger and pride.

I gulped down the bowl of porridge.

The taste is a bit strange, it's an ingredient I've never eaten before, hmm... luckily it's not hot.

Tsukuyomizu saw that he was full and felt full of strength (not really), so he dared to raise his head and look at Ryomen Sukuna proudly.

In the flickering candlelight, a ghost with two faces and four hands sat there leisurely like a sculpture, and the strange black curse patterns on his body added a bit of mystery to him.

The blood-red eyes slightly raised, not the anger and surprise that Tsukuyomi Tsukuyomi had expected,

But a narrow smile,

It seemed as if everything was under his control.

After all... who could take food away from the Cursed King so easily?

The white-haired boy blushed and muttered, "What are you laughing at!!!"

Ryoumen Sukuna changed his posture and looked down at him, then spoke slowly and methodically:

"Didn't you say you didn't want to eat a few days ago?"
