Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 12
Soya doesn't have a mobile phone, but the Kirino family's old house has a landline phone, which can still be used normally.

"Sister?! Are you okay!"

Soya could clearly hear the call of surprise coming from the microphone even when he was standing aside.

"..."

Sugawara Kyoko glanced at him, it was not easy for him to avoid him, nor could she leave him in her current state, so she could only move closer to the microphone and lowered her voice.

"Yuzi, I'm fine."

In the battle that took place last night, the spirit removers were concentrated in the center of the battlefield from the very beginning, Huang Quan's army was defeated in one blow, and she also suffered a lot of shock, and she has not recovered until now;
She needs to go back to the shrine to get rid of the impurity on her body, and now she needs Soya's support to stand still.

After briefly explaining what happened last night, Sugawara Kyoko asked her sister to arrange someone to come over as soon as possible to take her back to the shrine.

"address……"

Soya was staring into the corridor, absent-minded, and it took a moment to realize that she was asking himself.

"The address here? In Kawagaoka..."

Without her repeating, Sugawara Yuko on the other end of the phone could understand.

"Hey, who else is there?"

"A kind man."

After consent, a white commercial vehicle drove into the courtyard of the old house of the Kirino family.

The words "Fuyun Shrine" are printed on the car body. The driver's driving skills are a little rusty and he has tried several times.

After the car door was opened, Yuko Sugawara came down together with several serious-looking shrine maidens, all of whom seemed to be in their 30s or [-]s.

After all, she only met last night, and Yuzi still has some impressions of the tall and thin Soya.Although unexpected, she was not as flustered as before.

"Thank you for saving my sister..."

Looking at the primary school student saluting in front of him, Soya just nodded.

"Hands up."

After helping the dispirited Kyoko Sugawara to the car, several priestesses thanked him again.When he was about to leave, Soya suddenly expressed that he wanted to take a ride.

There is still room in the car, "Where does Mr. Soya want to go? We can take you there directly."

"Don't bother, just send it to the nearest tram stop."

It happened to be on the way back to the shrine, and it took only a few minutes to drive there.

The car door was slowly closed, and the commercial vehicle backed away from the courtyard of Kirino's house and drove into the two-lane road.

Soya was about to get out of the car soon, and chose to sit by the door in the middle, and Sugawara Kyoko was sitting next to him.

The commercial vehicle was not driving fast on the small road, and although her eyes were looking ahead, her attention was always on Soya next to her.

Although hitchhiking was a temporary idea, but his decision to go out seems to be because of something she said when she was waiting for Yuzi to come over...

Soya suddenly took something out of his pocket.

"..."

Sugawara Kyoko glanced at it calmly, moved her lips, and looked forward again.

"What is this?" The younger sister in the back seat suddenly poked her head out.

"Yuzi."

"It's okay." Sogu showed her what was in his hand, "Vocabulary cards."

Sugawara Yuko took it and turned it over a few times. There was nothing special about the word card made of cardboard, so she quickly returned it to him.

"It's all in incomprehensible English... Did you make this yourself?"

"Ah."

"why?"

"Exam preparation."

"Are you going to college?"

"..."

Soya raised his eyes from the word card, turned his head to look out the window, there was still snow piled up under the wooden fence beside the road.

"Entry into high school."

"Eh?"

Sugawara Yuko wanted to ask something more, but her sister's stern eyes swept back, and she swallowed the words again.

Soya watched all this calmly.

What a serious and strict sister.

There are also children of this type in children's welfare institutions, but they are usually for the attention of adults, and few people can carry it out to her level.

Before Sugawara Kyoko looked over, he had already looked away.

I don't know how everyone is doing now...

A few minutes later, the commercial vehicle of Fuyun Shrine stopped on the side of the road near the tram stop.

"Mr. Soya."

The witch who was driving turned her head, "It seems that you can't park over there, so you can only send it here."

"Okay."

Soya nodded and opened the car door, "Thank you."

"you are welcome."

She did not know where to find a business card, and handed it over, "If you need it, you can contact me at any time. If the tutor is Soya-kun, you can also get a discount~"

"..."

He glanced at the business card:

【Yumiko Harada.Second-year economics at Kyoto University, part-time tutor.contact number:……】

Kyoko Sugawara frowned, "Miss Harada..."

"—Kyoko-chan, the expenses of college students are very high."

The witch driver half turned around, one arm resting on the seat back.

"An ordinary part-time priestess like me works at a shrine with a very low hourly salary. Of course, I need to find more part-time jobs... Or is Kyoko-chan planning to raise my salary?"

"..."

"I see. If necessary, I will contact Ms. Harada."

Under Kyoko Sugawara's slightly apologetic gaze, Soya put away his business card, opened the door and got out of the car.

"Children grow up really fast these days."

The tall and thin boy on the side of the road disappeared in the rearview mirror, and Yumiko Harada was no longer distracted, "Students in middle school are already that tall."

Kyoko Sugawara leaned against the back of the chair, and just responded in a low voice.

"Younger, handsome, I like it quite a bit. I don't know when you will contact me..."

buzz-

"Hey, so fast?!"

"..."

Sugawara Kyoko also raised her head.

"Ma Youli, answer the phone for me!"

Another miko sitting in the co-pilot took out her mobile phone, looked at the caller, and suddenly smiled.

"Who?"

"It's the man Yumiko can't refuse."

She answered the phone, and held the phone to her ear.

"Zong...ah, it's Sugawara-san...it's nothing!"

While talking, Yuiko Harada glared at the Miko next to her, who smiled and asked her to pay attention to the vehicle ahead.

"Yes, we have received Miss Kyoko."

She glanced in the rearview mirror, and Kyoko Sugawara had lost the energy she had just now, and was leaning wearily.

"It's not looking good...we'll be back as soon as possible."

There are only a few people on the tram platform during the non-stop time.

The weather is fine, and the snow near the railway tracks has melted a lot, but it is still a bit cold in places where the sun does not shine.

Soya touched his arm, got up from the seat, and felt his body warmer only after standing in the sun.

The tram hasn't come yet.

He was going west to Kyoto to find someone he had never met.

This is a temporary itinerary.Fortunately, it takes less than an hour to take the tram from Jinhu City to Kyoto, and the time spent going back and forth is not worth regretting... provided that he can come back.

"..."

Can you come back?

The other party was a very dangerous person, and it had been his last choice from the very beginning.And after living in Kirino's house for more than a week, he almost forgot about this option.

But as if in order to continue the main theme of his short life, his expectation once again ushered in an accident:
The vicious spirit that indirectly helped him escape from the underworld was so powerful that no one could deal with it.

The spirit removers will do what they can after a big defeat, but the natural spirits from the underworld don't know what fear is, and they come back to life after being destroyed, and they come from the world;

He can spend the night in Akane Kirino's room because of her fear, but he can't take risks again because of it, let alone return the amulet that suppresses her spiritual sense to her.

It was only then that Soya realized that his leeway was actually very small, and taking a step back would be helpless.

And the only choice in this frustration was that the lady witch he dug out from the snow helped him recall it with an unintentional soliloquy.

【"...A fierce spirit of that level has never been seen before... If Lord Izanami is still guarding the kingdom of the underworld, he will never let it escape from the other world..."】

The spiritual beings in the world also seem to know that Master Huang Quan has left there long ago, but they don't know her whereabouts.

But Soya knew.

ding ding ding-

Accompanied by the slight vibration of the rails, there was a rush of bells ringing in the empty platform.

The tram is coming.
