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

Dots of flames float quietly in the room.Even though the house is all made of wood, Yue Yan has no worries that the house will accidentally catch fire.

What was in front of him was the so-called Vulcan, if he would really be buried in flames because the house was set on fire, it would have no meaning other than to show that the god in front of him was just a hypocrite.

After all, no matter from which aspect, human beings are too small in front of the gods.

He is indeed greedy for this kind of warmth that he has never felt before, but subconsciously rejects the approach of warmth.

It's not a stupid reason like "once you get it, you can't bear the pain of losing it", it's just that you are too aware of the gap in your own identity and your natural defense against others.

There are tens of thousands of Vulcan believers, and so many powerful families also pray to Vulcan. No matter how you think, Vulcan will not focus on him, a child who has nothing.

The child lowered his eyes, no matter how much he guessed in his heart, he still didn't let go of the faint flame that was tightly held in his heart.

Humans subconsciously seek warmth. No matter how many cold guesses a child has in his heart, the subconscious yearning for warmth will still make him crave this short-term tenderness.

Tsukihiko's complex mood was definitely noticed by Kamado Tanjiro - he didn't even need a keen sense of smell, he could more or less guess it just by looking at the expressions on the child's face that couldn't be hidden.

Vulcan sighed helplessly, and leaned forward slightly, as if he wanted to hug the child into his arms, but stopped abruptly halfway, only looking at the child with softer eyes.

This child named Yueyan has suffered a lot. If he rashly made such an intimate gesture, it would probably shock the child.

Putting down the cold meal snatched from the child, Kamado Tanjiro sat in front of the child, not at all angry at the child's ignorance.

There are many more things reflected in the eyes of the gods than in the eyes of humans. Even if he is not a god who specializes in fate, he can still feel the inexplicable and lingering haze surrounding the children in front of him.

And - the inexhaustible weak connection that seems to be connected to him in the dark.

Whether it's the child's tragic fate, or the inexplicable concern, it is impossible for Vulcan to turn a blind eye and be indifferent to this child.

The sound of the porcelain bowl colliding with the ground seemed to have awakened the child who was immersed in his own thoughts. While the god was not paying attention, he rushed forward and snatched the cold rice from Zamon Tanjiro's hand, causing the god to exclaim.

"Don't eat!" Ignoring Vulcan's yelling, Yueyan grabbed the bowl and wanted to put food into his mouth.

What a joke, how could he not eat?

It might be just one meal a day, and on rare occasions, the old woman who delivered the food might get another meal for him when he was in a good mood. He was so hungry that he had no way to dislike the quality of the leftovers.

What's more, it's the cold winter now, if he is already weak and sick, if he doesn't even eat the only food, how can he survive the severe cold?

In the eyes of Kamado Tanjiro, the child's behavior of gobbling and wanting to pick up rice, in addition to bringing shock, it almost made Kagami's whole heart tighten, and he was overwhelmed with distressed and pity emotions, regardless of whether it would scare him or not. To the child, grab the cold meal toughly.

Once again, the child who was robbed of his job was silent, and he didn't cry like other children, but his dark and deep eyes were quietly staring at the god in front of him.Even though the child didn't say anything, Kamado Tanjiro seemed to be able to see the grievance and condemnation in those eyes.

Vulcan sighed, and leaned gently in front of the child, caressing the top of Yue Yan's head with his warm and dry hands, his deep red eyes met those dark and clear eyes, and he could see his own reflection in it very clearly .

"Wait for a while, okay?" Kamado Tanjiro gently slapped away the child's hand that was still persevering towards the cold food, his deep red eyes were full of concern.

"I'll go find you something else to eat."

After speaking, the god disappeared with the leftovers, leaving only the whole house still floating around him, and the flame seedlings that brought warmth and light quietly accompanied Yueyan.

The child stretched out his hand, Xu Xu grabbed the empty room in front of him, and found nothing but the slightly warm air.

It's hard to explain what happened to the sudden loss in his heart, Yue Yan just slowly withdrew his hand, and slowly curled up his body without saying a word.

The surrounding flames seemed to be aware of his depressed mood at the moment, and they flickered around him, as if they wanted to pass more heat and warmth to the child in front of him, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't attract the child's attention.

very strange.Burying his head between his knees, Tsukihiko thought indifferently.

Why did he feel lost because of the departure of that god?

Obviously, as long as there is no expectation, there will be no other emotions - just like his parents.Because I have never expected the warmth from my parents, so I will never feel any resentment or grievance for such a cold reception.

Could it be that—as if he had thought of some bad guess, Yue Yan’s expression suddenly became very strange, as if he couldn’t believe it, but also seemed to be a little secretly happy—could it be that in his heart, he was concerned about the sudden appearance? God, is there any expectation?

"I've been waiting for a long time!" Vulcan didn't keep the child waiting for long, Yue Yan didn't have to worry about it for a long time before the boy's voice reappearing in his ear attracted all his attention.

The god, whose black costume was still neat and undisturbed, held a delicate food box in his hand, squatting in front of him with a smile on his face, and couldn't wait to open the food box.

The aroma of the food wafted out, and the child's stomach made an inconspicuous "grunt" sound. Tsukihiko tightly covered his stomach with his hands, a faint blush floated on his face, and he didn't dare to look up at Tanjiro Kamado's. look.

He was already trying his best to endure his immediate pounce, but he didn't know if it was because the aroma of the food was too tempting. His stomach, which could endure the hunger, was like a fire at the moment, frantically showing his sense of existence.

The child's voice clearly fell into Kagami's ears, Kamado Tanjiro shook his head and chuckled, quickly brought out the exquisite dishes in the food box and placed them in front of Tsukihiko, and ignited several clusters of flames around the dishes, So as not to get cold because of the cold weather.

Vulcan thought for a while, and decided not to tell the child in front of him the origin of these meals.

This is what he took from his own shrine, and it should be regarded as a tribute by humans.

He has many followers, and in such a bustling city, not to mention how prosperous those people built his shrine, there are countless witches and maidservants who stay in the shrine every day.

The god attendant would present him with the freshest tributes every day - not only the fresh fruits that are rarely seen in the cold winter, but also steaming meals, such as chicken, duck and fish, etc. There are countless more.It was so rich that even the god himself thought it was too extravagant and wasteful.

Moreover, every few hours, the cold food will be replaced, and the fresh food that is still steaming will be served. It has to be said that the believers have really worked hard on the tribute.

Although in my heart I feel that such behavior is too wasteful, but at this moment it is quite useful in solving Kamado Tanjirou's problem.

Although it seems a little bad to casually take the tributes enshrined to the gods, but considering that this is something for oneself, it shouldn't be a problem to take a few copies quietly, right?

"Come and eat." Vulcan smiled and beckoned the child to come and eat quickly.He didn't take any big fish or meat, but just picked steamed buns and some relatively light food.

Yue Yan's body has always been weak, plus he has never eaten good food, so the stomach itself is probably very fragile.If it is suddenly contaminated with meaty things that are extremely oily and gas-heavy, it may aggravate the child's condition.

Tsukihiko didn't dislike the things Tanjiro Kamado brought at all. In fact, these seemingly ordinary steamed buns and the poorer families couldn't afford them at all, let alone him who always only had leftovers.

Carefully looking up at the bright face, and making sure that there was no trace of dissatisfaction in those dark red eyes that had always been warm, and even a little bit of encouragement, Yue Yan hesitantly stretched out his hand and swallowed the steaming food in small mouthfuls.

Being cared for and treated with such tenderness was something he had never experienced before.

Kamado Tanjiro quietly waited for the child to finish eating the food in his hand, and after confirming that the child no longer needed it, he took out a handkerchief from somewhere, and quite naturally helped Tsukihiko wipe the residue from his mouth, causing the child to be surprised , froze in place and did not dare to move.

Vulcan's warm breath surrounded him, and he seemed to be able to feel the warm breath on his face when he felt it carefully.The child, who had never had such close contact with outsiders, was stiff and did not dare to move.

The child's reaction was only regarded as shyness by Vulcan.Tanjiro, who was quite good at dealing with children, turned to gently stroked Tsukihiko's soft black hair with his hand, and embraced the child in his arms without a trace.

Maybe it was because he would inevitably get tired after eating, Tsukihiko didn't even notice the posture of being embraced by the god at the moment, let alone the hand that Tanjiro Kamado placed on his forehead at some point.

An inexplicable warm current slowly spread from the top of the head to the whole body, as if the chill that had been condensed in the body was completely dispelled by this warm current that came from nowhere.

The depression that had been stuffy in the lungs before seemed to dissipate a lot with the warm current. Suddenly, the child, who was warm and relaxed all over, raised his head and bumped into the pair of deep red eyes without any surprise.

However, after seeing clearly the worry hidden deep in those crimson eyes, the child's whole heart suddenly suspends.

What kind of disease is it that can make gods helpless?
