Chapter 19

after dinner

Tanjirou followed his mother's order and came to his father's side.

"Father."

Tanjirou came to the bed and called softly.

Kamado Tanjuro opened his eyes, but his hand stretched out from the bed, tightly grasping his son's hand.

"Father..."

Feeling the strength of his father holding his hand, Tanjirou couldn't help calling out again.

"Cough cough cough..."

Kamado Tanjuro coughed violently, but he didn't let go of Tanjirou's hand

"Tanjirou, I should not live long."

"No, no, father will get better soon."

Tanjirou shook his head vigorously.

Looking at his son's appearance, Kamado Tanjuro couldn't help but smile wryly. He was very clear about his physical condition, and he had faintly felt that death was approaching.

It was a very vague feeling, indescribable, unclear.

These days, he has been thinking why his body has suddenly become so bad.

Now, he probably figured it out a bit.

Involuntarily, Kamado Tanjuro moved his hand to his left forehead. It turned out that there were no stripes here, and they appeared suddenly a few years ago.

And with the appearance of this 'stripe', he found that he could control this 'stripe', as long as he wanted to open the 'stripe', his body's various abilities could be greatly improved.

The sudden increase in strength once made him very intoxicated, and he had been activated several times.

It was only later that I vaguely felt that turning on the 'stripe' seemed to cost something, so I rarely turned it on later.

And the time when his body began to show symptoms was when the 'stripes' appeared. Until now, his body is getting worse and worse.

Before, Kamado Tanjuro didn't understand the price of turning on the 'stripes', but now, feeling his physical condition, Kamado Tanjuro probably understood that the price of turning on the stripes was to consume his vitality.

It's just that it's too late to know this now.

He's already like this, there's no way to undo it, but he has to tell Tanjirou about it.

Kamado Tanjuro grabbed Tanjirou's hand and put it on his left forehead, then said with a serious face: "Remember what I told you all the time? Remember to breathe!"

Tanjirou just cried, worried about his father's physical condition.

"Cough cough cough..."

Kamado Tanjuro continued to cough uncontrollably, but continued to speak: "Remember, if you have 'spots' like your father's on your left forehead in the future, you must use them with caution, and even if you can't use them, don't use them. Because this consumes your own life!"

"In the future, when I leave, you will be the eldest son of the family, and the burden of the family will fall on you. You must be responsible for taking good care of your younger brother and younger sister, helping your mother, and supporting the family."

Kamado Tanjuro reached out and patted Tanjirou on the shoulder.

Touching his son's thin shoulders, Kamado Tanjuro only felt that his son's shoulders were so immature. Can such immature shoulders bear such responsibilities?

"Father, you'll be alright, you'll be fine soon."

Tanjirou grabbed his father's hand with a crying voice.

Kamado Tanjuro shook his head, just stretched out his hand to gently wipe away the tears from Tanjuro's eyes: "You remember, the 'breathing' I taught you, you must... must not forget, and, in the future, You're a man now."

After finishing speaking, he patted Tanjirou's hand: "Go and call Mujun over."

...

Su Mu walked into the room quickly, looked at Kamado Tanjuro who was breathing weakly, and probably understood that the other party was probably going to die.

May not live for a few days.

"Master Mu..."

Kamado Tanjuro struggled slightly to get up, Su Mu hurried over and held Kamado Tanjuro down: "You are in poor health now, don't move around, take a good rest, you will be fine in a few days."

Hearing this, Kamado Tanjuro couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile: "I understand my physical condition, I'm afraid it's really going to die."

"I'm not afraid of death. The only thing I worry about is Kuizhi and the children. Can you promise me to take good care of my wife and children after I die?"

"Tanjuro, what are you talking about? Just because you saved my life from the black bear, I will take good care of Mrs. Aoie and Nezuko."

Su Mu said very seriously.

Kamado Tanjuro raised his head and looked at Su Mu's face for a long time, with relief and complexity in his eyes.

As a person who has opened the 'transparent world', his eyes can already see many things, including the blood vessels in a human body, the blood flow in the body, even the lines of a leaf far away can be seen clearly.

These days, he probably noticed that Mu Jun is interested in Kamado Kuizhi.

At first, he was very angry, but slowly, he was relieved, he was going to die, why did he care so much.

Maybe... that's fine too.

At least after I left, there was also a care.

Involuntarily, Kamado Tanjuro tightly grasped Su Mu's hand: "I hope, you won't let Kui Zhi suffer any grievances."

Su Mu raised her head abruptly, just in time to meet Kamado Tanjuro's eyes, the other's eyes are so weak, but at this moment, under these eyes, everything about her seems to be pierced.

The other party has fully seen the small thoughts that he has tried to hide these days.
