After repeatedly emphasizing the dangers of carbonated drinks with this unexpectedly stubborn grandfather, Vulcan got up and returned to the kitchen after receiving extremely perfunctory assurances.The first phase of peace and chaos had already tidied up the kitchen, and the clean dishes were placed on the draining rack to drain.

While there was no one there, Vulcan found that there were still some leftover ingredients.

Looks like it won't be able to make the original size.He pondered for a while, then flipped skillfully and put it on the plate.The phone had automatically shut down because it ran out of battery, and he was almost ready to go home, considering that it would be troublesome if he missed something urgent at work.

"Funosuke, I'm going back first. This, can you pass it on for me?" Vulcan pointed to the freshly made snacks on the table.

"No problem, Lord Inquisitor." Foxnosuke nodded, "Ah, is it for that Lord?"

Vulcan put his index finger on his lips and made a secret movement, then knelt down and rubbed its head: "Please."

In order to maintain that worthless self-esteem, Kagami justly refused the company of Foxnosuke.And under the loss of the only light source of the mobile phone, it is really not easy for Vulcan to go through the invisible tunnel alone.He had no choice but to keep comforting himself that it was so dark that ghosts would definitely not be able to see the way. Besides, ghosts were also very busy, and they didn't have wages to be paid by the staff who pretended to be ghosts like haunted houses.

"The main hall?"

The more he comforted himself, the more frightened Vulcan felt, his legs almost went limp when he was frightened by the sudden sound.

"Scared you?" Yiqi was standing behind him, looking at him apologetically.

"No...it's not your fault, it's because I'm overconscious." Vulcan heaved a sigh of relief, "However, Mr. Yiqi is here."

"His Highness Foxanosuke said that the main hall is about to go back, so I thought of coming to see you off."

"It doesn't matter if I'm alone." Vulcan said bravely, but his confidence was a little lacking.

It seems to have seen through that Vulcan is forcing himself, and the first issue did not directly expose it.He said softly, "I just wanted to do that. Please let me go, Lord Hall."

Seeing that he had already talked about this, Vulcan no longer insisted.

The corridor connecting Honmaru and my wardrobe is the same as when I came here, and the light is even dimmed due to the nightfall.Vulcan could only vaguely see Yiqi's hand swaying slightly as he walked.He didn't dare to stay too far away from the first stage, and he didn't want the other party to notice his fear of the dark, so he had to keep a close eye on the back in front of him, for fear that he would be the only one left if he didn't pay attention.

Suddenly, the first issue stopped.Kagami, who was so focused on every step, almost bumped into his back.

"What, what's wrong?" Vulcan swallowed and asked with a stiff face.Difficult, is there something indescribable in front of it?

"I'm sorry, Lord Hall." Yiqi turned around and gently held Vulcan's hand.

"I think it's easier to go this way. It's very dark here, please be careful where you step." The pair of honey-colored eyes staring at him were shining in the darkness.He avoided Vulcan's weakness of "fear of the dark" in a roundabout way, and then seemed to ease Vulcan's anxiety less deliberately.

"Next time, I will suggest to Lord Foxnosuke to increase the lighting." In the darkness, Yiqi's voice was more gentle than usual.

"Oh, good. I'm sorry to trouble you." Vulcan, who was inexplicably at ease, let Yiqi lead him forward.Fortunately, the other party was wearing gloves, otherwise he would have been exposed with nothing to hide from his palms sweating out of fear.

However, Mr. Yiqi is really good at taking care of people.No matter how dull as Vulcan is, he can clearly feel that the other party is coordinating with his pace intentionally or unintentionally.Unknowingly, the originally uneasy mood gradually calmed down.

"Speaking of which, I've always had a question." After calming down, Vulcan couldn't help but want to distract himself by chatting, and neutralize the eerie silence by the way.

"You, Mr. Hasebe, and Mr. Mitsutada, where did you live before entering this Honmaru?"

"The main hall is very concerned?" Phase [-] unexpectedly did not respond directly, he asked rhetorically.

Then, he chuckled as if mocking his ignorance of the question, and then replied in a warm voice: "Fu Sangshen doesn't need to eat, and he's not as sensitive to temperature as humans. He can survive with spiritual power supplies. So for us, it’s the same wherever we live.”

"It's not an important matter, the main hall doesn't need to care about it." He stopped talking.

Vulcan was dumbfounded, and the other party's cold touch suddenly came from his palm, which made him shiver.

At this moment, there seems to be an overtone in his mind, constantly reminding him: No matter how human he looks on the outside, there will be no change on the inside.

"It's here." Before he knew it, Vulcan stood in front of his wardrobe.

"Then." Yiqi bowed slightly.he

Just as he was about to go back, Vulcan held him back. "Next time, come to our house as a guest and come with them. Please!"

When Vulcan stared at the other party seriously, it seemed that there was a bright flame around him, and it was impossible to tell the truth from reality.

The first period was slightly taken aback.After an unbearably long silence, he stared at Vulcan whose brows and eyes were flushed red by Shiranui, and nodded: "Okay."

·

"Master of the first phase."

At the entrance of Honmaru, Foxosuke was waiting for him eagerly, and his big fluffy tail flicked twice symbolically.

"Your Highness Fox. What's wrong?" Yi Wang looked at the dark corridor behind him, "If he's worried about the main hall, he should be ready to go to bed now."

"Really, that's good." Foxnosuke nodded, and then it remembered the commission before Vulcan left.

"The lord asked me to give this to you." Honosuke turned sideways, and the two paper shikigami were working together to hold a plate and staggered towards Yiqi.

"This is..." He looked surprised.

"I probably saw that you gave the pudding to Chaojiang, so I specially made an extra one for you." Although he had a vicious face on the outside, his mind was surprisingly delicate.Compared with the initial impression, Fox's help has changed a lot towards Vulcan.

"Ah, that's right." Yiqi squatted down, took the plate of pudding, and thanked the two paper figurines softly.

His eyes dimmed, and then he dug a small mouthful with a spoon and put it in his mouth.

"That's true, it makes people inadvertently panic."

The pudding melted in the mouth quickly, and it was so greasy.

·

Back home, Vulcan was in a state of near collapse.He fell headfirst on the bed like a log.Fortunately, not too long passed, and he glanced out the window.The setting sun was still falling on the sky, as if intentionally or unintentionally reminding Vulcan that he had stagnated during his stay in Honmaru.

"So tired..." He couldn't help but let out a sigh as he buried his face in the soft pillow.No matter how happy and harmonious everyone ate that dinner, Vulcan still couldn't ignore the undercurrent surging under the seemingly calm sea.

I haven't fully gained their trust yet.

Vulcan looked at the slightly abrupt glue marks on the snow-white wall, which was the place where he once put up basketball posters.The bright red background is paired with a famous dark-skinned star with vigorous dribbling skills. Recalling the countless games he has experienced, he is also like the vigorous posture of the person on the poster, criss-crossing the court.Whether it is the scars from the high-intensity training on weekdays, or the unwillingness to miss the victory because of one point, that poster is the spiritual sustenance for him to muster up the courage to open doors one after another.

But now, he has already removed that poster and sealed it at the bottom of the box.That sustenance is like a rootless duckweed, passing away.

I feel like I can't do anything right.He bit his lower lip hard.

When the overwhelming depression was attacking Vulcan with an unstoppable force, the mobile phone that was charging on the bedside table suddenly vibrated with a buzzing sound.Vulcan collected himself, and then pressed the call button.

"Hello?" His voice was hoarse.

"Big me, how are you doing?" It was my father's voice.

"It's okay, everything is fine here." He listened to the familiar voice on the phone that had been slightly distorted by the radio waves, and replied pretending to be vigorous.

My parents have settled overseas all year round, and because of work, I travel frequently in various countries.Kagami has been living alone since high school, and he is used to it.Although the number of times he can meet them is very small, Vulcan is still very grateful to the parents for giving absolute freedom to their children's choices and making every effort to support them financially.

Vulcan, who didn't want to add extra trouble to them, chose to keep silent.Ask them for their opinion, and they will only be told that their trauma has been transferred from the ankle to the psyche.He's not that vulnerable yet.

"Does the wound still hurt, my elder?" The father on the other end of the phone seemed to be worried about something, and the father asked cautiously.

"It doesn't hurt, it's much better." He was telling the truth.His eyes fell on the ankle, where there was a deep wound, but now the skin around the scar has faded, and the original labor pain has also improved to a slight tingling sensation that only occasionally occurs during strenuous exercise.

You child, it's fine if you're not forcing yourself. "It seems to be a lot more relieved. It seems that someone on the other end of the phone is calling my father's name. It seems that I have to go to work again.

"I'm sorry, my eldest. I'll come to Japan to see you when your mother and I finish our work." After a few simple instructions on the other end of the phone, he hung up the phone.The beeping sound after hanging up seemed to drive away something that made people palpitate endlessly. As soon as the feeling of loss came out, Vulcan quickly pressed it back.All of a sudden, I was left with my own house, which seemed extraordinarily large.

Originally, he disliked Qingguang's noisy behavior like a child from time to time, but in the end, he became afraid of loneliness like a child.

Oh, let's go take a shower.If you continue to think about it like this, you will soon fall into an emotional dead end.While taking off his clothes, Vulcan took a clean change of clothes and walked towards the bathroom.After he stood under the shower and rinsed himself off, the water in the bathtub happened to be full.He turned off the faucet and stepped in.Vulcan relaxed his whole body, lying quietly in the steaming bathtub, looking up at the misty ceiling.

His whole body was wrapped in hot air, and he suddenly felt comforted physically and mentally.Vulcan comfortably stretched his arm, which was slightly sore from long-term labor, and exhaled a long breath.Just when he was about to close his eyes and rest his mind, the voice that appeared out of nowhere made him almost jump out of the bathtub.

"Master God Judge, I forgot to tell you just now..." Foxosuke's petite figure could be vaguely seen in the white steam.

"Cough, cough, cough! Foxnosuke, don't be scary by suddenly appearing! My heart was almost broken by you." Vulcan still accidentally choked on a few mouthfuls of bath water, coughing until his face flushed.

"Sorry. I searched around but didn't see you, and found that the bathroom light was on, so... I ran in without authorization." Seeing that the other party was choking very hard, Fox couldn't help but feel guilty.The pricked ears drooped in disappointment.

"Cough, cough, cough." Vulcan calmed down, "Tell me, what's wrong?"

When Foxnosuke heard it, he immediately became serious: "I just received a notice from the government of time. Three days later, there will be a formal succession ceremony for the judge of the gods, and you are invited to go."

"...Succession ceremony?" What is it this time.Vulcan has one head and two big ones.

Seeing that Vulcan showed a rather troubled look, it quickly added: "Although it is a succession ceremony, it is actually just a formality for the government. You don't need to have too much psychological burden."

"And you only need to be there. We'll take care of the rest."

"Then... alright." Vulcan reluctantly complied.

"Then, I will come to pick you up in three days." Foxnosuke shook off the water droplets that splashed on his hair, saluted Vulcan and disappeared.

Succession ceremony...he thought about these words for himself, arbitrarily classifying it as a graduation ceremony.Vulcan estimated that except for the scene where a large group of people hugged and cried, and still didn't forget to take a group photo with their noses running, the other processes should be the same.The water had become warm, Vulcan pulled a bath towel around his lower body, put the towel on his head, grabbed a round neck T-shirt and walked out of the bathroom.

Then, he saw a familiar figure.
