On how to get to the top with multiple jobs

The meal was eaten, and the matter was resolved to the point where it could no longer develop further.It's late at night now, and it's time for bed.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka lay in bed.He stared at the ceiling with his dark blue eyes, and listened to the light and steady breathing beside him. For the first time in these months, he felt... unable to sleep.

Resting in the same room with others is already six or seven years ago in my memory.After such a long time, the feeling of sharing the same bed has almost become a dream.Already blurred beyond reach.

"Mr. Tomioka, did I disturb your rest?" The boy's voice sounded, his tone was a little worried, "You'd better take a rest quickly. Your body is already very weak."

Tomioka Yoshiyuki didn't want to talk very much at first, but during the few hours spent alone with this boy, he had already experienced the grinding nature of the boy.He deeply understood—if he ignored the other party, the other party might take some actions directly—so he said, "...I'm not sleepy."

Kamado Tanjiro sat up: "Is the smell of insect smoke too strong? I'll cover it with something to suppress it—"

"No, no need." Tomioka Yoshiyuki stopped him, he thought for a while, in order to prevent the other party from making any big moves, he said bluntly: "I was thinking... what would happen if I was swallowed by the water mirror ?”

His tone was indifferent, as if the topic he was talking about had nothing to do with him.

Kamado Tanjiro gave him a worried look, but he still answered conscientiously: "I will enter the world of insects." That was something he and Butterfly Shinobu had mentioned.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki continued to ask: "What is the world of insects like?"

Tanjirou Kamado was wearing a quilt, and he slowly moved to Yoshiyuki Tomioka, curled up in the quilt like a child: "The world of insects is more lonely than all the worlds put together."

This is a very novel statement.Tomioka Yoshiyuki imitated him and sat up, tilting his head: "?"

"It is eternal night, a world without light, sound, color, and taste. All the things that are not needed by the world will gather together—and most of those things are incorporeal existence, such as worms, or people who are swallowed by worms "The voice of the young insect master was soft and soothing, "They wriggled non-stop in the dark night of Yongshen, looking for a way out to the light. It is such a person who even if everyone loses their minds, they still want to catch something. lonely place."

Tomioka Yoshiyuki quietly looked at the young man who was talking freely.

He noticed that the other's iris was a beautiful red.The center of the pupil is black.When the other party talked about "the world of worms", the darkness in his eyes was rolling silently.

And the insect master shook his hand in front of him: "Are you listening to me, Mr. Tomioka?"

Tomioka Yoshiyuki lowered his eyes, he gave a absent-minded "hmm", and after a while, he asked, "Why did it take my shadow away?"

"The water mirror can't walk. It turns into the reflection of a person and steals the other party's identity. It just wants to use the 'feet' of other creatures to find a place suitable for breeding. Please keep in mind that if an insect parasitizes you, it generally does not target you. You." Tanjiro Kamado pointed to Yoshiyuki Tomioka's heart with his hand, then moved his hand quickly, and then pointed to the opponent's head, "but focused on some 'special' on your body."

Yoshiyuki Tomioka didn't respond anymore.

Tanjiro Kamado patted him lightly, only to realize that he was already asleep.

He turned his head and walked towards a corner of the room.Then he said in an imperceptible voice: "Your growth seems to be a bit too fast. Have you undergone a mutation?"

He has only been here for two or three days, and when he met Tomioka Yoshiyuki for the first time, he hardly noticed anything wrong with Tomioka Yoshiyuki.If you have to say it, it's probably just that the other party is too withdrawn and doesn't like to stand in the sun and face others directly.And at that time... Although the other party's shadow was a little clearer, it was still there.

It is impossible for the water mirror to grow so fast.

The water in the corner swayed slightly, and the ripples gradually rose, without making any sound.

.

When Tomioka Yoshiyuki woke up in the morning, he was a little dazed.

At some point, the young worm master was embraced by him.The other party's relatively petite figure was just enough for him to hug him tightly—yes, he was hugging her, not her hugging him.

Here comes the question: one hand is under the opponent's body, and the other is attached to the opponent's body. How can he separate from the opponent without waking him up?

Tomioka Yoshiyuki quietly moved the top hand away.Very good, the other party did not wake up.

Then he tried to pull the hand that was under the opponent's body.

Kamado Tanjiro moved slightly, and Tomioka Yoshiyuki stopped moving immediately in fright.

He didn't know why he was a little guilty, but at this moment, if he was asked to think of a way to move his hand back, he definitely wouldn't dare... And he didn't feel sleepy anymore, so he simply lay down and described the other party's Eyebrows.

He whispered to himself: Anyway, Kamado Tanjiro won't be able to wake up for a while, so that's it.

The sleeping Insect Master boy closed his eyes tightly, and he always had a slight smile on his face. Tomioka Yoshiyuki thought that he must have the same eyebrows stretched when he fell asleep, but he didn't expect the other party to be Unexpectedly... this look.

His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and there was no extra expression on his face.The breathing was shallow and steady, but the whole person was quietly curling himself up into a ball.Like a cub, he hugged himself tightly because he felt uneasy.

Is it because of a life of ups and downs?Or the past where he was brutally killed by ghosts?

Tomioka Yoshiyuki sent a letter to Master a few days ago.The letter asked about Kamado Tanjiro.

He thought about it carefully - indeed, he had recommended this child to be a teacher.But the reason was not for his revenge, but for his protection.

The child seemed to be being targeted by a terrible existence, the family members were killed by ghosts, and the only remaining sister became a ghost.It was a snowy day when he met the child, and Tanjirou Kamado was staggering and running in the snow with tears in his eyes.

So he stepped forward, stopped and asked, "What happened?"

The little Kamado Tanjirou trembled his lips: "Mom, brother, sister..."

Big drops of tears fell down his face like round pearls.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki carried him on his back and walked in the direction he pointed.

Smoke should have risen from the snow-covered forest cabin.

But the ground was in a mess, and what fell was blood all over the ground, white and red mixed into a disgusting look.The scattered corpses weighed down a letter that was well preserved.

Four words were written in blood on the letter—to, me, back, and come.

Kamado Tanjirou opened his eyes abruptly.For a moment, there was a shocking light in his eyes, and in the next second, he blushed and screamed in a low voice: "Mr. Tomioka!"

The insect master sat up in a hurry, lowered his head and apologized to the other party: "I didn't suppress you on purpose! I'm sorry!"

"...It's okay." Tomioka Yoshiyuki instantly forgot what he was thinking just now. He just suddenly felt a little unhappy for no reason. It was me."

Kamado Tanjiro in front of him was already so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki was silent for a moment, and he changed the subject: "Is your sister still awake?"

Speaking of this, the young man in front of him froze: "...No."

Tomioka Yoshiyuki felt that he might have found the wrong topic, but he was really not good at talking, so he opened and closed his mouth a few times, and finally spit out a word in a daze: "Oh."

After he finished speaking, he wanted to beat himself up.Even he himself could feel that the tone was really a bit unbearable.

So he added a sentence later: "I will wake up, sooner or later."

After speaking, he wanted to beat himself up again.Asleep ghosts are safe, so are awakened ghosts safe? !What are you talking about.

Kamado Tanjiro laughed at Tomioka Yoshiyuki's annoyed expression, lowered his eyes, and said in a hopeful and energetic tone: "She will return to being a human being."

At this time, the sky turned out to be bright.The sun shines through the window on the young man sitting up in front of him covered with a quilt. Coupled with his bright smile, this scene can melt the ice and snow.

So familiar, so familiar.Tomioka Yoshiyuki clutched his heart in a daze.

He couldn't remember where the familiarity came from, and he didn't know what he had lost because of the water mirror.In the hazy, unrevealed corner of memory, two people looked back and smiled at him.

The water mirror in the corner raised its head silently.

The author has something to say:

Because of the change of seasons, my eczema relapsed... I don't dare to touch this thing, mainly because it is in my hand, so it looks very annoying. After I touched it last time, I had allergic dermatitis and went to the hospital.This time, the ointment that I applied for a few days doesn't look so scary now, and I feel refreshed!
