Uyashiki Hinai looked at Itachi's expression and knew what her younger brother was thinking. It was obvious that he didn't like the meatball dumplings in Iguro Kobanai's mouth. Hinai covered her mouth with her hands and snickered. She raised her hand and gently

He tapped Itachi's forehead and shook his head helplessly.

Even if Iguro Kobanai accidentally called Itachi Dango Dango, it was true that he escorted Itachi back, so Hinai reached out and poked the expressionless Itachi. Itachi looked down at the marshmallow in his hand, and decided to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha, and then

He raised his hand and brought the marshmallow in his hand to Iguro Kobane's eyes.

Iguro Kobane pointed at her nose, as if asking if Itachi wanted to give marshmallows to her?

Iguro Kobanai was a little confused. Children don't like candies the most, but Itachi actually gave her the things he liked. So...does it mean that Maruko-chan likes her very much?!

Iguro Kobanai's eyes were bright, and he was holding the marshmallow in his hand as if he had won some kind of prize. He even thought about how Mitsuri Koibashikanroji ran over to him and took the initiative to talk to him after he established a relationship with Itachi.

appearance.

As Hashira of the Demon Slayer Squad, Iguro Kobanai puts the overall situation first. At the same time, for some reason, he hides his love for Koibashira Kanroji Mitsuri deeply in his heart. Even so, if he likes his benefactor, he can be with her.

If he takes the initiative to speak, he will be very happy.

Itachi pretended not to understand anything. He turned around and ran behind Hina in a few steps. Iguro Kobanai was stunned for a moment. He looked at Itachi who was hiding and thought he belonged to his master.

The youngest son is shy.

Hinayi understood Itachi and understood that Itachi didn't want to talk, so she thanked Snake Hashira Iguro Kobanai once again and sent the man away with the marshmallow in his hand very politely.

After Chuyi closed the door gently, the girl stretched out her hand to her younger brother. Itachi thought for a moment and put his chubby little hand into Chuyi's palm. Chuyi took small steps and led Itachi forward.

.

"Itachi actually likes everyone in the Demon Slayer Squad, right?"

Itachi pinched Hinai's finger and expressed his denial. He was a salty fish without feelings. Hinai could tell that he liked the pillars very much.

Chuyi's eyebrows were curved, she lowered her head and looked at her little brother, "Really? But I always feel that Itachi actually loves each of them..."

…

Itachi's salty life in the mansion is very regular. He sleeps until he wakes up naturally every day. After breakfast, he finds a place to read or relax. After eating a simple lunch at noon, he takes a nap and does "Meatball Exercise" in the afternoon.

Move your body, or meditate to become more proficient in using the Mangekyō Sharingan without any side effects, and then go to sleep after dinner at night while admiring the moon.

Itachi's day seems to many people to be extremely boring, without the slightest disturbance, but Itachi is enjoying it.

After all, when he was a ninja in his previous life, he had to be wary of various things every day, and then complete different tasks assigned by Akatsuki. He lived a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife, unable to relax at all times.

At that time, if Itachi could steal half a day of leisure, he would be happy for a while.

It has been a week since he returned from Mt. Saagiri. Muichiro has already recovered and left the main house to complete the tasks assigned by Uyashiki Yōya. As for Tiehanhan Tomioka Giyuu and the romantic Hashira Kanroji Mitsuri, they seem to have met each other.

What problems have arisen, and I haven’t come back to report on my work.

So Itachi finally returned to his regular routine, undisturbed and just a salty fish.

Unfortunately, the good days always end very quickly. The arrival of Uyashiki's eldest son completely broke Itachi's peaceful and salty life.

Itachi, who was eating sakura cake, raised his head and looked at Teriya Uyashiki. There was a trace of food residue in the corner of his mouth, which looked a little cute to Teriya Uyashiki. Teriya Uyashiki, who was wearing a kimono, knelt down and sat down. Itachi

Thinking that he was here to share the cherry cakes, the generous Itachi pushed the remaining cherry cakes on the plate in front of the boy.

Uyashiki Teriya was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "I'm not here to share your cherry cakes, but my father and mother have something to do and want to see you."

Itachi refused in his heart. The Ubuyashiki couple specifically asked their eldest son to call him, which was definitely a "premeditation".

It must be said that Ubuyashiki Yōya understands people's hearts very well, and he successfully figured out Itachi's weaknesses.

After Itachi refused to go, Uyashiki Teriya smiled slightly and said, "Father and mother prepared the three-color meatballs and asked me to invite you to have afternoon tea together."

The afternoon tea prepared by Ubuyashiki and his wife looked like a Hongmen banquet no matter how you thought about it, but...

Itachi looked at the cherry cake in his hand, and then thought of his favorite three-color meatballs.

Itachi put the half-eaten sakura cake on the plate, clapped his hands and stood up and said to Uyashiki Teriya: "Let's go."

Itachi, a person who is tempted by meatballs.

Ubuyashiki Teriya followed Itachi's hand. The usually serious heir couldn't help but laugh when he saw his younger brother. Who could have imagined that the usually serious Itachi would be tempted by ordinary three-color meatballs.

Teriya Uyashiki looked at Itachi, who was swaying and walking in great health, and he probably understood the feelings of his father and mother. Teriya Uyashiki was destined to be the heir of the Demon Slayer Corps from birth, and everything he endured was far beyond imagination.

, and he has long been ready to take over as his father.

So after seeing a unique child appear in the family, Ubuyashiki Teriya really wanted him to stagger on like this.

but……

Uyashiki Teriya stepped forward and extended his hand to Itachi, and Itachi put his hand into the boy's palm very naturally. The first-in-line heir with a smile looked at his younger brother, "No matter what Itachi wants to do, I will support it."

, I will take on the responsibility of the Demon Slayer Squad for the two of us."

Ubuyashiki Teriya's confidence made Itachi unconsciously hold his hand tightly, as if to give him encouragement and support.

However, Itachi was curious along the way as to why the Uyashiki couple suddenly took the time to prepare three-color meatballs for him. Itachi was a little hesitant, but he firmly believed that his ideal of salted fish would never be shaken by anyone.

Uyashiki Yōya heard the sound of two footsteps. He turned around with a smile and looked in the direction that looked like a shoji door. After Uyashiki Teriya led Itachi in, Uyashiki Yōya waved to the two children.

Itachi took a look, and sure enough, the three-color meatballs mentioned by Uyashiki Teriya had been prepared and placed there.

"Father."

Itachi greeted him expressionlessly, he always felt that Uyashiki Yōya's smile had a special meaning.

This was really a family-style afternoon tea. Amane sat next to Yaoya and whispered to him about Itachi's expression. It was obvious that their gifts were very suitable for Itachi's taste.

After Itachi ate three skewers of three-colored meatballs, Yaoya finally opened his mouth and was about to talk about the business of calling Itachi.

Itachi had just eaten sakura cake and several skewers of three-color meatballs. He, who was only five years old, secretly touched his stomach and felt a little full.

So when Yaoya called his name, Itachi secretly burped.

Yaoya couldn't see, but his ears were very sensitive. He obviously heard Itachi's small burp just now. Yaoya couldn't help but burst out laughing. Although he couldn't see it, he could imagine Itachi's appearance.

That must be a chubby little fat guy.

"Itachi, there is something I hope you can help me accomplish."

Very good, Itachi guessed it right, Yaoya's follow-up is here.

Itachi responded with silence to Yaoya's words. Yaoya guessed his reaction, so he reached out and touched Itachi's cheek.

"I hope Itachi can go to pay homage to the swordsmen's cemeteries at the old headquarters site instead of me."

The Demon Slayer Corps has moved for safety reasons since it was succeeded by Ubuyashiki Yōya. Unfortunately, the cenotaphs of the swordsmen who died in the service could not be moved at the headquarters. Therefore, commemorating the old site has become a must-do project every year.

When Uyashiki Yōya was in good health, he went to pay homage in person every time. Later, when his health gradually weakened, it fell to Uyashiki Teriya to return to the old site to pay homage.

Itachi knew this in his heart, so he looked at Teriya next to him who looked serious, but actually poked his stomach secretly with his finger. Uyashiki Teriya coughed lightly to ease the embarrassment of being discovered by his little brother.

"Because of the hand ghost incident, I need to thoroughly investigate the text materials left in the headquarters to see if there are any ghosts who cut off their heads and then resurrected in the past records."

Utayashiki Tōya was responsible for negligence in the Fujisakiyama incident, so as the lord, Utayashiki Tōya punished him for investigation.

It was such a coincidence that the investigation regulations overlapped with the annual fixed memorial time. Except for Uyashiki Teriya, among Itachi's four sisters, the younger two had to assist Teriya in completing the task, while the two sisters Hinai needed to

Yaoya's side handles matters related to the Demon Slayer Squad.

So looking at the only person in the family who has time to complete the memorial ceremony, Itachi is the only one left.

Itachi looked at Amane, who was his mother, and Amane took the initiative to hold Yaoya's hand. She seemed to be telling Itachi that she also had corresponding work.

"Just this once, I know Itachi's ideal is to become a salted fish, so just this once."

This was the promise Yaoya made. Itachi looked at the man with doubtful eyes. He raised his head and said in a clear voice: "The difference between things is only once and countless times."

Yaoya didn't expect Itachi to say such philosophical words. He just touched Itachi's head and said nothing.

The man was silent for a while, "Then would Itachi be willing to take my place?"

Itachi didn't say anything. He stretched out his hand to hold Yaoya's wrist and put his fingers on Yaoya's pulse. His "father" was already very weak and might face collapse at any time. Itachi knew exactly what kind of support he had.

Zhu Yaozai works like a perpetual motion machine.

What supports Uyashiki Yōya is his love for the world.

In the past five years, Yaoya has never asked Itachi to do anything. If it was just this once, Itachi would be willing to help.

"Only this one time."

Itachi's ideal is to be a salted fish, not to save the world and become a savior.

…

Itachi really didn't want to be a savior, but he also didn't want to accept the fact of being "abducted".

Itachi sat in a room brightly lit by candles, the shoji door behind him had been closed, and sitting on the high platform in the room was a man with a smile on his face. His hair was white and seemed to have been splashed with blood. At the same time, the man's

The eyes are very special, they are actually colorful glazed eyes.

He looked at the chubby Itachi sitting below and opened the golden folding fan in his hand, blocking what could be called a carefree smile.

The man's voice was very gentle and magnetic, and he said to Itachi: "Welcome to the Eternal Paradise Sect, the child of the Utsuyashiki family."

Itachi yawned. He needed to confirm something.
