When the door was opened, Vulcan saw that Hasebe was already in the house, sitting upright waiting for him.The oppressive sense of repulsion all around him seems to have eased a lot, and even the gaze he casts on him is nothing more than normal eye contact.

"Mr. Sanriyue said, you, ah no, you are looking for me, just say it."

Just a second before Kagami closed the door, Honosuke sneaked into the living room while he was not paying attention, and wagged his tail innocently at Kagami.Vulcan scratched his hair, seeing that Hasebe didn't seem to have any special reaction, so he let it go.

In fact, before going up the stairs, Vulcan was already prepared to be attacked by the other party like a cannonball, but the heart that was originally flustered calmed down the moment he opened the door, and everything was like dust settled.Because he saw Hasebe's eyes.Those thin vine-colored eyes showed no hostility of scrutiny.Even if there is a distance of a wooden table, Vulcan feels that all of himself is reflected in the pupils.

However, in just a few seconds, the opponent's eyes were as empty as a town swept by a hurricane.

Although it was supposed to be a communication between the two, Foxosuke, who was an unexpected guest, was also conscious.Because it was worried that Hasebe would say some inappropriate words and accidentally hurt the new god judge, it came here to inquire about the situation.I thought it would be kicked out by Hasebe, but the other party only glanced at it, and then turned their eyes back to the God-inspector who was obviously fidgeting.

"...Mister?" Hasebe frowned, "You as a god judge are already a certainty. Therefore, there is no need to use honorific words for Sankayue and the others."

Moreover, this fake honorific, on the contrary, is easy to be mistaken for provoking trouble.At this moment, he was very grateful for his perseverance and was able to swallow all the sarcasm that had reached his throat.

"Also, I don't need it either." Hasebe sat upright, looking straight into those fiery red eyes.

Vulcan was stunned for a while before realizing that he meant something, but he didn't dare to be completely sure, so he could only carefully observe his expression.The other party still had that serious and serious look.Vulcan still can't tell whether this sentence is sincere or a joke.

If it was really a joke that didn't fit his temperament, it would be too bad, no matter for Vulcan or himself.

Vulcan couldn't read his eyes.He was silent for a while, and then said, "Mr. Hasebe, is this your own choice?"

Hasebe's expression became subtle: "What are you referring to?"

"Is there any force majeure forcing you?"

"No. It's my own choice." The displeasure stayed between Hasebe's eyebrows for a moment, and then disappeared.

"……Really?"

As if being chased by a ball of dancing flames, Hasebe was just about to frown and retort when the other party's words blocked him so much that he couldn't say anything.

"Ah... that's great." Vulcan lowered his head, his fine hair covered his eyes, so Hasebe couldn't accurately capture his expression.Vulcan scratched his hair and let out a long breath.

"It's really great." Vulcan raised his head and showed his first smile after entering this room. "I thought it was Foxnosuke and the government who forced you. If not, it's really great."

"It's the Government of Time, please remember it well." Honosuke defended with a puzzled expression, "Also, something like that..." It's the god-inspector who hasn't remembered the full name of the Government of Time that makes us think Barely okay!

Hasebe sat there with a cold face and said nothing.He was at a loss as to why the other party would look relieved when he heard his answer.What "really great" has been repeatedly emphasized twice.Is it really that happy to get your own approval?

Since being abandoned twice in a row, Hasebe has fully understood a truth: some things are destined to be irreversible.I can't force it, I just feel sorry.But there are still remaining ashes gnawing at the bottom of my heart, some faint flames that I cannot see will ignite endless fires in the long night.

Over time, the original anxiety and fear of being abandoned have all turned into numbness.

If he was abandoned again, he should be able to face it quite calmly.

After all, it is irreversible.he thought.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll remember it." Kagami patted Honosuke's head perfunctorily, and then couldn't help but sit upright.

"Mr. Hasebe." He called the other party's name, "I still don't understand a lot. Before I get familiar with it, maybe...ah, no, I will definitely make a lot of mistakes. But if Mr. Hasebe is by my side If so, I don’t think there will be any major problems.”

Hasebe pursed his lips and looked at Vulcan.His face was calm, and there seemed to be a beast dormant in his pomegranate-colored pupils. The beast breathed lightly, and the breath it exhaled dyed the atmosphere around the two of them together.

In a trance, something called illusion inadvertently permeates.

Hasebe lowered his eyes, then stood up.He walked around the wooden table slowly and walked up to Vulcan.Vulcan also stood up quickly, a little at a loss.

Afterwards, Hasebe presented his body with both hands in an impeccable respectful gesture, and knelt down in front of Vulcan on one knee.

"My name is Yaqie Changgubu. As long as it is the Lord's order, I will do everything for you." At this moment, Yaqie Changgubu is like a desperate gambler, betting all his loyalty.

Vulcan looked at the respectful man in front of him, was silent for a while, and then lightly put his hand on the knife.

"I am Vulcan Taime, please give me more advice in the future, Mr. Hasebe." He said with a smile.

Compared to Hasebe who raised his eyes in astonishment, Foxosuke next to him was so frightened by Vulcan's unnecessary actions that he jumped up immediately.

"Master God Judge! You, how can you tell Lord Sword Sword your real name!!!"

Foxnosuke spun around at Vulcan's feet anxiously.

"Ah? It's just a self-introduction. And Foxnosuke, why are you so angry, calm down."

Vulcan didn't take it seriously, and kindly helped Honosuke smooth his hair.

"When you first arrived in Honmaru, I clearly reminded you that you should never give your name to Fu Sangshen, otherwise it is very likely that you will be hidden by him and disappear from the world. But you..." Fox Noosuke looked at a Vulcan, who hadn't reacted to his face, was furious, but his name was already known, so it's impossible to threaten Fu Sangshen with an excellent memory to forget, right?

Foxnosuke couldn't help but sighed heavily.

"That's it." Vulcan thought about it seriously, "But Qingguang and the others knew about it a long time ago."

"What—" Foxnosuke suddenly felt a cool wind blowing over his head.

"That's right, I've already introduced myself. I also introduced myself to Mr. I just met, although he also looked surprised. It's just a name."

After Foxosuke was silent for a long time, he said, "...don't you have another real name?" Vulcan Tai I should be just a code name.definitely is!

"No, I'm called Vulcan Dago." Vulcan said sonorously, afraid that the other party could not hear clearly, so he deliberately slowed down and repeated.

Foxnosuke felt exhausted for a moment, wondering if he would have a chance to apply for another Honmaru to work.

"It's okay." Then, Vulcan reached out his hand to Hasebe, signaling that he didn't have to kneel.Hasebe was dumbfounded, hesitated for a while and held the hand instead, and slowly stood up.The hand I was holding was very hot, and the heat was directly directed into the limbs through the barrier of the glove.The heart woke up from the thousands of miles of frozen permafrost, and slowly but surely resumed its pulse.

It seemed that he hadn't been able to hear the beating of his own heart for a long time.

"...and what is Shenyin?" Fire God let go of the two hands that were tightly held just now, and muttered in a low voice.

Foxnosuke shook his ears feebly, probably worried about how his future work would go smoothly.

Hasebe sighed, short and heavy.He maintained the respectful look of asking for the master's order, and his expression was as calm as before.

"Then, what do I need to do next? Slash the vassals... or attack the temple with fire, please tell me what you want." These ominous words full of swords and blood were blurted out in a normal tone as if nothing had happened.Even though he was used to this for a long time, Honosuke couldn't help but observe the reaction of the god judge.

Vulcan was slightly startled, as if thinking about something.Afterwards, he seemed to have made up his mind, and grabbed Hasebe's arm without any explanation.

"Then help prepare dinner together, please!"

·

As soon as he found the kitchen, Vulcan was stuffed with a piece of his special peony cake by the candle holder who had been busy there for a long time.Of course, although Hasebe was extremely reluctant, he finally ate everything with reluctance.

"Master." Candlesticks seemed familiar with the change of address. He looked at Hasebe, who was full of complaints but still stood obediently by the side of Vulcan to help, with only one exposed gilt-gold eye slightly bent. .

"You don't have to cook by yourself, you can leave all these things to us in the future."

Vulcan turned his head and asked Hasebe beside him with his eyes, and found that his face was also a rare approval.

"...But, I want to help." Vulcan lowered his head, played with the tomato in his hand, and said sullenly.

"I want to try to get to know Mr. Hasebe and Mr. Mitsutada better." He raised his head, and there seemed to be something sparkling in his eyes.

Vulcan is at his current age, who happens to be acting recklessly, has an inexplicable persistence to get to the bottom of the matter, and is naive enough to accept everything as it is ordered.He is different from the group of fusangshen who have been given human form in front of him. The loyalty they have paid is equally expected to be rewarded.

They are wounded or damaged, or even broken and sacrificed with additional conditions.

And Vulcan never thought about asking for anything from their group of "gods". Rather, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the idea of ​​atheism would probably have taken root in his mind for a lifetime.

Hasebe, who has always been unable to parry straight balls, exchanged glances with Candlestick Kiri, and then sighed: "If I get entangled by the Yiqi brothers because I cook too deliciously, I will pretend not to see it." of."

The candlestick dismantled without thinking: "If Mr. Hasebe said, he must be the first one to jump out to defend the lord."

Hasebe shook his hand, half of the potato almost fell into the pot.

He collected himself, and retorted with a cold face: "Don't say stupid things, I didn't..."

The teasing in Candlestick Cut's tone was obvious enough, but there was a certain person looking at him with a natural and ignorant expression, with "Is it true?" written all over his face.

Being scrutinized so seriously by the other party, Hasebe pressed his temple that was already aching.

"The younger brothers of the first-stage family like sweet things more, and they should be very happy if they make some desserts." Hasebe changed the subject abruptly.

"Hey, isn't Qingguang the same as a child's taste?"

"It's a child... just like you." The second half of Hasebe's words were dissolved in the slowly rising steam.

Haven't found it yet, Hasebe-kun.Taking a panoramic view of the interaction between Vulcan and Hasebe, Candlestick Kiri's eyes are as faint as the moonlight on the lake.

The scales you're holding so tightly have already tipped unconsciously in his favor.

·

In the first issue, Yizhen had already heard Qingguang mention the famous cooking skills of the new God examiner, but seeing a large table of delicious dishes in front of him, he still glanced at Vulcan several times in surprise.Of course, the appetite of the other party is indeed like the image of the red ghost in the illustration book, no, it would be more appropriate to use the "hungry ghost" as a metaphor.

"Well, Mr. Yiqi doesn't want to eat?"

In the first issue where the name was mentioned, he was attacked by several eyes in an instant. Of course, the most difficult to ignore was Vulcan's slightly worried eyes. "Cough... No, it's delicious. Are these all made by the main hall?" Because he was puzzled, he still couldn't help asking.

"No. Hasebe-san and Mitsutada-san also helped."

"No, no, Hasebe-kun and I just helped cut some cucumbers and potatoes. Basically, the master did it." Candlestick Kiri quickly denied it.Although he intended to let the other party see that he had developed a lot of cooking skills, he always felt that he would not look handsome enough if he tried to dig into the horns of this kind of thing.He simply helped Vulcan with Hasebe, handling ingredients and the like.

Anyway, there will be opportunities in the future.Candlestick narrowed his eyes.

He didn't answer the call in the first period, so he put a piece of stewed meat in his mouth.The texture and rich sauce just happened to stimulate his almost dull taste.He raised his eyes and smiled at Vulcan without hiding it: "It's very delicious."

The other party also returned him with a bright smile.

"This pudding is delicious!"

Luan puffed up her cheeks and complained softly, "One is not enough!"

"Hey, you can't sneak away—it's agreed to be one for each person!" At this moment, Qing Guang, who had a sudden burst of mobility, snatched back his own pudding.

"..." Receiving a certain glare, Yamabuchi quickly finished the pudding calmly.

"Hey—stingy." Luan curled his lips, and then quietly shifted his target to Wu Hutui beside him.

"What about Xiao Tui's share?"

The five tigers retreated and hurriedly wiped the mouth of the wolf cub with a paper towel: "Yes, I'm sorry, Luan Jiang. We shared the food with the cubs, so... we've finished eating."

"Come on, Luan." Seeing that his younger brother's mood suddenly became depressed, Yiqi thoughtfully handed his pudding to Luan.

"this is for you."

"Wow—thank you, Brother Yiqi!" Luan happily took the pudding, and then suddenly remembered something, "But, Brother Yiqi is gone."

"It's okay." He fondled his messy head, "I don't like sweets."

Just seeing his brother's happy and satisfied appearance, in the first issue, he felt that he had already tasted the best dessert in the world.

The author has something to say:

Currently known information includes:

1. Mikazuki and Foxnosuke did not dine with them.

2. The current relationship between Candlestick Cut and Vulcan is the most delicate of all swords.

3. Afterwards, Foxnosuke explained to Vulcan what Shenyin meant.
