【6】Children Cannot Live Without Their Father
The newly awakened demonic ability is called [Slave].
The role of a first-level [servant] is to sign a contract with a living body.
Control the life and death of this life form.
It is best to make a contract with someone who is loyal to you or who will be defeated by you.
Because if the living body strongly resists.
The contract will most likely fail.
Awakening new abilities is certainly a joyful thing.
But Gen Kujo is happiest.
But there is another reason...
The opportunity for [Slave] to awaken is to have someone's loyalty.
This can be explained.
Just two days.
Mrs. Kui Zhi has been completely loyal to herself from body to soul.
He looked excitedly at the nephrite in his arms.
My heart was filled with excitement again.
"Mrs. Kui Zhi..."
"...Xuan, hurry up, the children will be back soon."
.......
late at night.
Strings of crystal clear ice hung on the windows. The cold wind was howling outside, but the kitchen was as warm as spring.
Firewood burned in the earthen stove.
The firelight illuminated the kitchen a charming orange-yellow color.
The fire crackled.
It seems to be telling an ancient story.
"Mom, you must stop your younger brothers and sisters tomorrow. You can't indulge them anymore."
"When we arrived in town today, they started to act dishonest."
"Nezuko and Hanako stopped walking when they saw the hairpin and rouge."
"Mao and Liu Tai, when they smell something delicious, they clamor for it, especially Liu Tai. If they don't buy it for him, he will sit on the ground and cry."
"Takeo is better..."
"It's really not okay to do this. It will affect my ability to sell charcoal."
"Mother, are you listening?"
Tanjirou was sitting behind the stove making a fire.
I complained for a long time, but my mother didn't respond to me.
So he stood up.
Who knew but saw it.
Mother was busy preparing dinner on the stove, but her eyes were blank.
It's like he's remembering something.
There was a happy smile on her lips.
Then he said that he had just been talking for a long time, but his mother didn't hear anything?
"Mother!"
Tanjirou shouted.
"Ah? Ah!"
"What's wrong Tanjirou?"
"I was just thinking about something."
Tanjirou looked helpless and repeated what he had just complained about.
"Oh okay......"
After listening.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Kamado's face.
This is if the kids stay home.
It’s inconvenient during the day!
Mother's expression.
Tanjirou couldn't help but frown.
It shouldn't be.
According to what I know about my mother.
If I had said this kind of thing in private before.
My mother will definitely support me immediately.
What happened in the past two days?
I always feel that my mother has changed.
"Mom, the Chinese New Year is almost here. I spent a lot of money on medicine to save Brother Xuan."
"If you don't sell more charcoal and save money."
“During the Chinese New Year, my family has no money to buy new year’s goods.”
"I can only eat wild vegetables and mushrooms from the mountains."
"In that case, everyone will not have a good year."
Tanjirou told the family about their current embarrassment.
Mrs. Kuizhi cried: "Tanjirou, thank you for your hard work after your father passed away."
"You sell charcoal every day to make money, and you are asked to take care of your younger brothers and sisters. It's your mother's fault."
"Mother, I'm sorry for you."
Seeing his mother crying, Tanjirou's serious face immediately relaxed.
She blamed herself: "Mom, please stop crying."
"As the eldest brother in the family, it is natural for me to make money by selling charcoal."
"It's all my fault for complaining too much."
Kuizhi looked at his obedient son, feeling more and more guilty, and hugged Tanjirou into his arms.
Gen Kujo hides outside the door.
He has been here a long time ago.
Conversation between two people.
He heard it all too.
After saving yourself, buy yourself medicine.
This has indeed worsened the economic situation of the already struggling Kamado family.
A big man like myself...a devil.
You can't let children feed you.
"Ahem..."
Gen Kujo coughed deliberately and walked in.
Sensing Gen Kujo coming in.
Tanjirou separated from his mother first.
He is a man.
I don’t like the fragile side of crying to be seen by others.
"Tanjirou, I heard everything you just said."
"You don't have to worry about money."
"I'll help you find a way."
Gen Kujo finished speaking.
Mrs. Kui Zhi's expression was slightly moved, thinking that Gen Kujo had a psychological burden because of what he just said.
After all, she is now loyal to the man in front of her.
I really want to open my mouth to comfort him.
But my son Tanjirou is here, and what I want to say is inappropriate.
I could only look at him with tender and distressed eyes.
"Brother Xuan, I was just complaining, don't take it too seriously."
"It's up to me to make money."
"Tomorrow I will push a cart of charcoal and go down the mountain to sell it. Then I will not come back at night and find a place to live."
“This way we can sell more charcoal.”
Gen Kujo shook his head and said: "I'm not lying. Last time, didn't you say that a grain and oil store owner wanted to buy your charcoal? Please tell me specifically."
Tanjirou saw Gen Kujo looking serious.
I could only relax and say: "Okay, here's the thing..."
Tanjirou was about to continue talking.
But Mrs. Kuizhi interrupted: "There's nothing to do here. You can go to the room and talk."
"I plated the dinner and brought it over."
"Okay, mother."
The two left.
Arrived at the kitchen door.
Gen Kujo did not forget to give Kui Zhi a relaxing look.
No reason.
Kui Zhi actually felt safe enough because of this look.
Gen Kujo is in front.
Tanjirou is behind.
The latter told the former the details of the matter.
Staring at that mature and handsome face from afar, he was analyzing the problem seriously.
Kui Zhi shed tears of happiness.
Children cannot live without their father.
Even if it's not in name only, that's okay.
