Demon Slayer: I will play the ancestor of the Flame Pillar

The sound of a knocker was heard, and the sound of a knocker was heard.

Knock, knock, knock.

Ayami Hoshiko tapped the wooden door with her fingers.

"Brother Heng Shoulang, Gu Gu, are you in the room now?"

After waiting for a while, the room was quiet and there was no response.

The girl stepped back a few steps, wrinkled her nose cutely, tilted her head and thought for a while, and then returned to the door and called softly again.

"Ms. Tamayo and Yushiro said that you just came back. It happened that I made some Japanese sweets in the afternoon and left some for Gu Gu to try..."

Ding Ding Ding.

The effect this time was immediate.

There was a burst of rapid noises from the other side of the wooden door, as if an unknown object was constantly hitting the door with its sharp organs.

Seeing this scene, the girl smiled somewhat proudly.

Miss Tamayo's usual dignified and graceful appearance emerged in her mind, and Xingzi quickly patted her delicate face and changed into a lady's light smile.

Creak.

The wooden door opened slightly, and a black shadow rushed into Xingzi's arms like the wind, and then Lin Heng followed with a helpless look.

"Xingzi, haven't I taught you that girls should be polite and not block other people's doors."

"Where did I block the door? I was obviously knocking politely, but it was you, brother Heng Shoulang, who was the one."

The girl shook her delicate fingers and said word by word.

"Not, honest, enough!"

"Alas, you..."

The void pointed at Cai Jianxingzi, and Lin Heng didn't know what to say for a moment.

Cutely sticking out her tongue, Xingzi held down the restless Gugu in her arms and handed over the warm Japanese fruit that had been pressed against her chest.

"Here, the Hanami Dango I just made."

Looking at the serious girl, Lin Heng could only take it helplessly.

"I told you, Xingzi, you don't have to do this, you don't have to call me brother, and I don't like sweets either."

You're all lying...

Xingzi complained softly in her heart.

Since she fainted from a high fever three months ago and was rescued by Lin Heng, Tamayo's miraculous hands brought Xingzi back to life. Because she was worried about the girl's malnutrition, she also specifically asked Yushiro to bring some high-sugar food to Xingzi.

"Try it, I added some medicinal herbs, which are good for the body. Sister Tamayo and Yushiro like it very much."

Alas, you really made me suffer.

Helplessly taking the three-color dango, he put it in his mouth and chewed it for a few times. The dango with several layers of syrup tasted sweet and sticky. Lin Heng narrowed his eyes and asked vaguely.

"You just said that Miss Tamayo and the others ate it too?"

"Yeah, they all gave it very good reviews, and they even asked me to leave a portion for you, my brother."

This is the third time...

Lin Heng's eyes condensed, and he was slightly absent-minded, and he accidentally let Xingzi, who was waiting for an opportunity, catch the opportunity.

The girl holding the Gugu rolled her eyes a few times, dodged quickly around Lin Heng, and slipped into the house as flexibly as a soft cat.

Lin Heng, who was chewing the meatball, was a little caught off guard.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Lilulu!"

The girl turned back and stuck out her tongue to Lin Heng in provocation, and chuckled.

"You haven't been back for half a month this time, and you have been locking the door mysteriously and not letting me in. The house must be dirty."

This...

It is true, and there is no way to refute it.

"Hehe, I knew you would definitely not clean it up."

The girl puffed her chest confidently, with a proud look on her face.

"Leave it to me, let the lovely Miss Xingzi show mercy and save you."

After saying that, without waiting for Lin Heng to stop her, Xingzi hugged Gugu and started to clean up with all her strength.

"Look, what has this closet become? Is this the only black cloak you have? I just patched it up for you last time, and it's been torn again this time."

The girl opened the closet and pulled out the clothes that Lin Heng had thrown away when he came back. She neatly folded them neatly with her hands, and kept talking.

"Humph, you made such a mess just after coming back. If you don't treat them well, the clothes will become wrinkled."

Lin Heng was speechless.

Damn, the little girl who was rescued casually, God knows where she got such rich housekeeping knowledge.

"Help, the bed is obviously covered with dust, don't you know to just sweep it and lie down directly? Look at the human figure rolling in the middle, and there are so many strange masks piled up..."

The girl who had sorted out her clothes did not stop and fired at full power.

"Ah, I made it myself in the mountains, and I brought a portion back for you all."

Lin Heng touched his nose and replied,

Life was boring, so during this time, in addition to looking for flowers and practicing the final secret, I also developed many hobbies.

With a little surprise, she chose a cat mask. The girl worked hard for a long time, then wiped the sweat from the tip of her nose with her hand, and looked at the brand new house in front of her with pride.

Suddenly, Xingzi's small nose wrinkled, her thin eyebrows bent high, and she pointed at the curtains near the window.

"Also, why are there such dark and thick curtains in Miss Tamayo's room? It's so uncomfortable to be blocked here."

While speaking, the girl walked to the curtain and stretched out her hand to grab a corner.

"You haven't been back for half a month. You need to open it often to ventilate, and it's also good to see the night view."

"No, that curtain is not needed, right?"

Lin Heng finally caught the opportunity and stopped him.

"It's already dark, what's there to see outside? I'm tired of seeing the colorful lights."

"No, you've been stuck in the house since you came back and you don't know it. Today is totally different!"

The girl grabbed the heavy black curtain, took a deep breath, and ran from left to right to open it.

"Dangdangdang!"

The world outside the window suddenly lit up Lin Heng's eyes. He didn't know when the outside world was covered in silver. No wonder the streets were so quiet today.

It wasn't snowing when he just came back. Lin Heng pondered for a while.

It's snowing...

If I remember correctly, this is the third time I've seen it in the Demon Slayer world...

It's winter again...

Just then, the European clock downstairs rang again.

A total of twelve times, it was already midnight.

Xingzi was still energetically turning around and looking at the whole house, trying to find another place that was not harmonious.

Looking at her busy back, Lin Heng narrowed his eyes.

The first snow of this year came neither too early nor too late.

It is now 24:00 on November 2, 1913.

That is...

Winter of the second year of Taisho.

Lin Heng suddenly stood up, walked to the closet that the girl had just packed, took out the carefully folded cloak inside, unfolded it and put it on, and then walked out without looking back.

Xingzi in the house hadn't noticed it yet, and was jumping and examining his masterpiece rigorously.

But the cuckoo bird in the embrace shook a few times, then opened its eyes, broke free from the arms, and flew out of the house with its wings fluttering.

Lin Heng's footsteps did not stop as he walked down the stairs as he passed through the long and narrow corridor.

Da, Da, Da...

The sound of wooden clogs tapping the floor sounded, and a gentle voice came from behind.

"Are you going out again? You just came back not long ago this time."

With his back to Tamayo who had been observing in the shadows, Lin Heng walked down the stairs slowly and calmly.

"Ah, I need to go out for a while."

"Is that so? You've taken the trouble to collect blood everywhere."

Tamayo bowed slightly.

"All my research data over the years has been open to you. What about the remaining condition?"

"Don't say that. I've been busy with some personal matters recently. As for the condition..."

Lin Heng paused and looked back at Tamayo's misty eyes.

"I don't think the time has come yet."

Tamayo wanted to say something else, but stopped talking. Xingzi had already rushed over at the end of the corridor.

"You just came back this time. Why are you in such a hurry? Did Xingzi do something wrong just now?"

"No, it has nothing to do with you..."

Under the cloak, Lin Heng's expression did not change.

"I just need to go out for a while."

(The change in the protagonist's personality is the root setting, not because of this world)
