Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 100 The Only Light in the Darkness
On the second day of Golden Week, Soya woke up very early.

And earlier, there was continuous movement from downstairs.Soya walked down the stairs, and the Tanijima and his wife, dressed lightly, were about to go out, and the two said goodbye.

The couple, who have passed their sixtieth years, are here to travel. The itinerary is very full. It seems that they plan to travel all over Kyoto today.

After washing up and preparing breakfast, Soya went upstairs to call for Asagiri when it was about the same time.

She woke up very early, before the Gujima couple, but she didn't hear Soya's movement, so she didn't go downstairs.

"..."

Seeing that she came to open the door naked again, Soya looked away.

"Breakfast is ready."

She nodded, turned around and walked back to the bedding, picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on.

"I'm going to Kyoto in a few days...forget it."

Looking back towards Wuling, Soya had already closed the sliding door and left.

"..."

After looking at it for a while, she turned her head and continued to dress, and stepped into the thin cloth in her hand.

Through a door, Soya looked at the room at the end of the second floor.

Yuedu actually woke up too.

He was lying on his side with his head on his back, staring at the small storage box for cultivating tomato seeds.

"Why hasn't it sprouted yet?"

"They said it would take two or three days."

"Oh."

Zongya looked at him at the door for a while, and said, "Ling and I are going out today, you know that, right?"

Tsukiyomi nodded and held out her hand.

"..."

This is asking for money.

Soya took a few thousand-yen bills from his wallet, and Tsukiyomi's eyes brightened immediately.

But he only gave him one.

"..."

Ignoring Tsukiyomi's sad eyes that turned 180 degrees, Soya took the remaining few banknotes and shook them in his hands.

"Continue to read that set of courses today, and the money will be yours."

"……real?"

"Sure, but I'll check."

The not-cheap course also comes with several sets of test questions, "After you come back, I will ask you ten questions, and you will pass if you answer all of them correctly."

Yuedu frowned and looked up at him.

"Can you answer right after reading it?"

"If Master Yue Read still has brain cells in his head."

After breakfast, Soya went out with Asagiri.

Sitting on the slightly crowded tram, the two stood together.

The tram wobbled for two stops, and Soya saw Kyoko in casual clothes on the platform.After squeezing into the carriage, she greeted the two from a distance, but did not come over.

Chao Wuling was hanging on his arm, and Soya didn't go there until the two were about to separate.

"Where did Suzu and Amamiya-senpai meet?"

"Kyoto Station."

That is the next stop.

Soya and Kyoko got out of the car to transfer, Chao Wuling stayed in the car, and left first under the watchful eyes of the two.

"Where is Asagiri-san going?"

"The Rijksmuseum."

There were still four or five stations away from the destination, and the two came to another platform, waiting for the next tram, "Ling has an appointment with sister Amamiya from the Department of Literature and Art."

"Yumiya?"

"Does Kyoko know her?"

"She and I are in the same class."

Jingzi nodded, and put her long hair behind her ears, "It's just that I haven't talked much."

Yugong from the Department of Literature and Art is an introverted literary girl, and Kyoko usually has a stern and reticent and indifferent image to the outside world. It is really difficult for the two to strike up a conversation.

Soya thought so, and glanced at her again.

The casual clothes she is wearing today have a very soft style.The bottom is a light green skirt, the upper body is wearing a beige T-shirt, and a light-colored coat is worn outside.

If only the expression could be a little softer...

"What's wrong?" Kyoko also looked over.

"It's nothing." Soya looked away and looked at the tram that had already appeared, "It's just that Kyoko in casual clothes is relatively rare, especially this style of clothes."

"..."

She was silent for a moment, looking down at the hem of her skirt.

The tram that appeared in the field of vision began to slow down, making some sharp braking sounds, which temporarily drowned out other sounds.

"How about it……"

Soya just watched the tram until it stopped in front of him and opened the door.

"Get in the car."

"Ah."

There are many people going west to Kyoto, and relatively few people going north along the West Lake Line. The two of them got on the bus slowly, and there were still seats.

"Get off at Otsu Station."

Because he usually goes to school by this route, Soya was worried that he would skip the stops habitually, so he asked Kyoko to pay attention.

"Ah."

The two sat together, and the tram quickly restarted.

"It's cute." Soya said suddenly.

"what?"

Jingzi looked across from him. He was an old man in his 60s and [-]s, with sleepy eyes.

"I mean, Kyoko's clothes look cute today."

"..."

It turned out that he heard it... She pinched the hem of her skirt tightly.

"Thank you."

Zong Gu smiled at her, and his eyes fell on the exposed part of his wrist.

"Was the shrine busy yesterday?"

Jingzi nodded, "The number of people visiting the shrine is more than ten times that of usual, but they are still busy."

"There are so many people on the first day."

"Thanks to Kyoto and Lake Biwa."

"Also close to the station."

"Ah."

Soya thought for a while, "What is the usual job of a shrine maiden who works part-time at a shrine like Ms. Harada?"

"Auxiliary priests handle social affairs." Kyoko replied.

He looked over, and she continued to explain: "Greeting the worshipers, providing services for asking for fortune, selling items such as guards and painted horses, and maintaining the cleanliness of the shrine."

"It doesn't sound too difficult...how much is the hourly wage?"

Kyoko was stunned for a moment, and said, "Eight hundred yen. During the Golden Week, the hourly wage is [-] yen."

"It's really low, no wonder no one wants to stay."

"..."

She glanced at him, and then Soya expressed his plan:
"If you are really too busy, let Yuedu help you sell things. If you are clumsy, just give him an hourly salary of [-]."

"...a violation of the minimum hourly wage in labor law."

"He's not human."

"..."

Jingzi was silent for a moment, probably thinking that this was at least better than letting the gods continue to degenerate, so she nodded.

"I will think about it."

At Otsu Station, Soya and Kyoko got off the train together.

The members of the Cuisine Research Institute agreed to gather here, and at this time, two girls had already arrived first.

"Sugawara-san."

Kana Kido, head of cooking research, is one of them, "You are really here."

Jingzi saluted slightly, "I take the liberty to come to the Gathering of Cuisine Research Institute, please forgive me for disturbing you."

"No, no, where..."

Soya greeted another girl.

"Sister Imamura."

"Soya." Junko Imamura, a second grader, came over, "You actually brought Sugawara-san here."

"She's good at cooking."

"..."

She looked at him for a while, "It turns out that you really came to cook in the wild."

"Not exactly." Sogu's face remained unchanged, "It is also one of the purposes to set up camp by Lake Biwa and enjoy the scenery of the lake and mountains while cooking."

"What about the beauty of us cooking girls, let it go?"

"You...they are not beautiful either."

"Soya said something very outrageous."

Having said that, Imamura laughed, "But it's true."

"In this era of undisguised desires, few people can calm down. The girls who choose to join the cooking research institute are either too rustic or not good-looking."

"..."

Soya hadn't thought of this level yet.

"In this way, Soya-kun, who is willing to commit himself to cooking research, is the only light in the darkness for us women who have been abandoned by the times."

"... Please forgive me."

"Hahaha--"

Imamura smiled for a while, and soon showed some helplessness.

"However, if Soya brings Sugawara-san here, we will really feel ashamed."

"...The minister looks very happy."

"That stupid woman!"

"Junko, I heard everything!"

But after waiting on the platform for half an hour, the agreed time passed, and sure enough, as Imamura said, no fifth person showed up.

"They said they couldn't come because of something..."

Kido Kana looked at the phone, but didn't care.

"In this case, let's go directly."
