Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 103 Ignite the flame
tick-

The rain dripped and splashed on the windowsill.

"It's really raining..."

Koko Yoshikawa got out of bed and walked to the window, looked up at the gloomy sky, and whispered softly.

"What is Soya doing at this time?"

On the other side of the vast lake, Zong Gu also stood by the window, waiting for the rain to stop.

"...are you alright?"

"fine!"

An excited cry came from the other end of the phone, which made Zongya a little more helpless in his worries.

"It's totally fine!"

Kido Kana and Imamura Junko, who were still staying at the campsite, were more excited now that they were huddled in the tent watered by the heavy rain.

"The ingredients and the barbecue racks have been moved under the tent. Although it got a little wet, don't worry."

Kana Kido sat in front of the entrance of the tent, only slightly unzipped the zipper, and the lake wind with rainwater kept pouring in, "How are Soya and Sugawara-san?"

"We're fine. We'll be back when the rain stops."

"It's okay to stay a little longer, okay? You can do whatever you want, don't worry about Junko and me."

"..."

Zongya ignored it, asked a few more questions about the fixing of the tents and tents, and then hung up the phone.

"How is it?" asked Kyoko who was sitting opposite.

"Alive."

"..."

She stared silently, and he shook his head again.

"It should be fine."

"yes."

The two had been waiting for a while, but the clothes hadn't arrived, and the rain hadn't stopped, but the momentum had slowed down a bit.

After staring out of the window for a while, Soya got up and walked to the low table, picked up the travel brochure on the table and flipped through it.

Ishiyama Akizuki, Seta Yuzhao, Awazu Seiran, Hira Muyuki...

All are superb views around Lake Biwa.

"The eight scenic spots near the river..."

Hearing the noise, he raised his head, and Kyoko sat down opposite.

He handed over the travel brochure, and she put it down after looking at it twice.After all, she is a native of the country, and there is nothing on it that can make her eyes shine.

There are some snacks and two cups of hot tea on the table, which were brought over by the hostess of the hotel.

The rooms are spacious and quiet, not luxurious but have everything you need.More importantly, the hotel is next to Lake Biwa, and the windows on the second floor have a great view, and according to the hostess, the view at sunrise is especially amazing.

If it weren't for the current state, Zongya would even want to stay here for one night - after all, the price is not cheap.

Turning on the TV, Kyoko moved to the side, and Soya picked up the dessert on the table and took a bite.

The taste is slightly greasy, but it is just right when paired with green tea. The filling slowly melts in the mouth and is sweet.

After eating one piece, when he went to get the second piece of dim sum, he bumped into Kyoko's outstretched hand.

She shrank her hand, as if to let him come first.

But Zongya pinched the edge and dragged the whole plate of dim sum in front of him.

"..."

Jingzi glanced at him, but said nothing.

Picking up a piece of dim sum, Soya pushed the plate back.

"Please use it, it tastes very good."

For big or small jokes, Kyoko's understanding and reaction are completely slow, or clumsy.

Faced with the same behavior, if it was Zhao Wuling, he would probably keep staring at him until he took the initiative to explain the reason for doing so;
If Akane Kirino said, she would probably laugh and come over to snatch the snacks;

As for Yoshikawa, he will neither be silent nor act aggressively, but he will not be polite in words.

Only Kyoko could only cover up her momentary bewilderment by pretending not to care.

The same is true now.

Not knowing what she was thinking, she picked up the snack after a while, took a small bite, and drank hot tea again.

Sogu noticed that she nodded slightly, probably in recognition of what he said just now.

A boring program was playing on the TV, and the sound filled the silence in the room.

The two sitting across the table did not communicate more, occasionally eating a piece of snack, or watching the rain fading outside the window for a while.

Kyoko put down the teacup, and Soya picked up the travel brochure at some point on the opposite side, and was scanning the text introduction of a certain scenic spot with downcast eyes.

He rested his head on one hand, and pressed the other hand on the page, turning the page.His eyes move quickly, and occasionally he raises his eyebrows suddenly, and his gaze freezes at a certain place for a few seconds.

Repeatedly, the spread out travel brochure turned page after page, and Kyoko never took her eyes off.

Maybe she just likes the silence.

"Mr. Soya..."

After an unknown amount of time, the hostess of the hotel knocked on the door and delivered the washed and dried clothes.

The rain outside the window has also stopped.

"coming."

The moment he got up to greet her, Soya saw Kyoko lowering his eyes and seemed to sigh.

When the two left the hotel, there were still sporadic raindrops in the sky.Just in case, Soya and Kyoko each bought two umbrellas to take home.

The campsite was not far from here, and the two of them went down the steps on the side of the hotel and walked along the shore of the lake.

"There shouldn't be any water there."

"No. The terrain over there is slightly higher, and the rainwater will flow into the lake."

Next to the lake.After the heavy rain, the water along the coast of the lake became quite cloudy.

Kyoko was walking and looking at the lake when she was suddenly pulled back by Soya.

The heavy rain rushed some sand and sand, blocking the front.

"I can't go, let's go up."

"Ah."

Back on the road, the asphalt road washed by the rain was very clean.

"Does your foot still hurt?"

"It's fine for now."

"Do not force."

"Ah."

When we walked to the campsite, many people had already got out of their tents and started tidying up the camp that had been drenched in heavy rain.

Kido Kana and Imamura Junko stood outside the tent with their hips crossed, as if they were discussing something.But before they came to the result, they saw Soya and Kyoko.

"You came back so early."

Soya glanced at the ingredients and utensils under the tent, "I'm hungry."

"...Ah, no wonder."

Kido Kana stepped on the wet grass, "What should I do next?"

"Sister is the minister, right?"

"I never ignore a member's advice."

"Then follow the original plan and start cooking."

She stepped on the wet ground under her feet, "In this case?"

Soya had already entered the tent and started to move things.

"Let's make do with it, at least cooking is not a big problem. The water on the ground will flow away or seep in soon."

"Ok."

After moving the grill that took up a lot of space behind the windbreak wall, Soya looked up at the sky, and there were not a few scattered raindrops to be seen.

Setting up the folding table, Kyoko brought up the cassette stove and looked back for the iron pot.

The vegetables in the campground are cleaned and sold, but further processing is required.Kido and Imamura set up a cutting board on another folding table and began cutting potatoes and bell peppers.

Spreading the fireproof cloth, Soya was about to start a fire, only to find that the firewood was missing.

I searched around, but still nowhere to be seen.

"Minister, have you seen the firewood?"

"In the tent."

"..."

He dug out layers of protective firewood from the tent, dry inside and out, and tied tightly.

Firewood has to be split to burn easily. Fortunately, the firewood provided by the camp is extremely soft and easy to cut.Soya split most of the firewood, and cut some thin wood chips with a knife to light the fire.

Put the dry grass, wood chips and fine firewood on the fireproof cloth, Soya ignited the dry grass, and the rising flame instantly engulfed the wood chips.

The other three surrounded them.

"What are you doing...have you never seen fire?"

"I don't know why, but I suddenly feel very moved. Is it because of Prometheus... Junko, see if there are tears in my eyes."

"There's eye shit."

"go to hell!"

Kyoko didn't say anything, she stared at the dancing flames for a while, and Soya handed her a few sticks of firewood.

"..."

She smiled, took the firewood, and threw them into the fire one by one.

The flame danced and burned hotter.

Set up an iron frame on the fire, and put the iron pot filled with water on top, Jingzi cut the tomatoes into pieces, poured them into the pot, and started to cook the soup.

Soya added a few pieces of charcoal to the fire, ready to ignite it before transferring it to the grill.

Sliced ​​sweet peppers were red, green and green, and placed on top of the cheese in the iron pan. Kido Kana thought about it, and added a few green vegetables, as well as a few slices of shiitake mushrooms cut from it.

Imamura glanced, "What is this?"

"Vegetable Cheese Roast."

She pointed, "I said this."

"mushroom."

"I don't eat shiitake mushrooms."

"The rule of Cuisine Research Institute is that everyone must eat shiitake mushrooms."

"I have retired."

"so troublesome……"

Kido Kana picked out a few slices of shiitake mushrooms from the cheese, then closed the lid and lit the cassette stove.

The busy work here ended for the time being, and she looked at Kyoko who was cutting eggplant next to her, and Soya who was tending the fire, and suddenly felt emotional.

"There are benefits to having fewer people."

"what?"

"Not lively."

Imamura was silent, but Kyoko looked over and nodded to them.
