Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 136
It was not too early to send Jingzi home.Soya turned and left, and got on the tram going back.

There were only two stops on the way home, and before he arrived, he received a call from Akane Kirino.

"Songya..."

"Tirino." Only her voice came from the other side of the phone, the environment was relatively quiet, and she seemed to have returned to the residence, "Are you okay?"

"not too good."

Her voice is not high, and a little hoarse.

"When I stay in the mourning hall, I will cry and my eyes will hurt. I am not in the mood to eat dinner. My mother asked me to come back first."

"..."

Across the phone, Soya didn't know how to comfort him.

"It's okay not to eat dinner."

"Well, I'm already a little hungry..."

He lowered his eyes, "Go and eat something."

"Go after calling Soya."

Akane Kirino continued, "The mourning hall is set up at home, and mom and dad are watching the night there. Auntie has prepared a vigil treat, and there should be some sushi left."

"yes."

Soya thought for a while, then asked again: "Is it far away where you live?"

"Not far. My parents and I live at my uncle's cousin's house. It's only a few minutes away."

"That's pretty close..."

"Songya."

"Ah."

"I didn't see Uncle's spirit body."

"..."

Soya was silent for a while, then slowly said:
"The moment a person dies, the soul either dissipates with the life at the same time, or comes out of the body, becoming a temporarily unconscious 'blind spirit'... Maybe Mr. Tanjima has become a spirit body and is heading to the other world On the road to Huangquan."

Although she understood that he was just comforting herself, Kirino Akane still asked:
"Will Uncle come back?"

"When the spirit body regains consciousness, if he still remembers his family, he should come back to take a look...Of course, the mind of the spirit body cannot be mastered. Mr. Gu Dao may linger on the road and never return."

Akane Kirino sat on the tatami with her legs crossed, her head resting on her knees, "There are still so many people at home waiting for Uncle to come back."

"Even if he comes back, ordinary people can't see him."

"At least I can see it. By the way, there are many psychics here today, and I don't know any of them."

"yes."

"It should be people from the 'institution' that Soya mentioned."

Soya responded, and said, "After all, Mr. Tanjima was also a member of the organization before."

"And after Uncle retired, he often went around to help."

"Ah."

While the two were talking remotely, the tram also arrived at the station.

He got out of the car and walked outside.

"Is Soya still outside?" Akane Kirino heard the voice in the station.

"Just got back from Kyoko's."

"Oh."

There was a brief silence on the other side of the phone.

With the lights of the station shining behind him, Soya walked down the steps, "Kirino?"

She muffled.

"Let's go eat something first." He was more concerned about her physical condition, "Then go to bed early."

"Where is Zong Gu?" She asked suddenly.

"Me? Just walked out of the station."

"Then when Soya gets home, I'll get up again."

"Okay, then I'm ready to run."

"...Just walk back normally!"

Soya smiled, although he didn't really plan to run back, he still quickened his pace.

"Is it still raining over there?"

"Ah."

"It's just cloudy here in Kanto. When we come here in the morning, we can still see the sun."

"yes."

With her long hair loose, Akane Kirino slowly lay down, put the phone by her ear, and slightly closed her eyes.

"Has Hongzi visited Soya today?"

"No."

It was then that Soya remembered that before going out in the afternoon, he had sent a message to Yoshikawa, but she never replied.

"The messages I sent to Hongzi are all unread." Kirino Qian said.

"Me too."

"What is Hong Zi busy with?"

"do not know."

With an umbrella in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, Soya maintained such a state, walking in the night rain;
On the other end of the phone, Akane Kirino was in high spirits for a while, but soon sank into a quiet depression.

On the way from the station to Kirino's old house, the two didn't say a few words, and spent most of the time listening to each other's breathing, judging that the phone was still connected.

"are you asleep."

"...Not at all."

"Get up."

"Is Soya home already?"

"Ah."

"Ok."

Akane Kirino sat up, rubbed her eyes, "Goodbye."

"Go out first." Sogu stopped outside the yard, "It's not too late to hang up when you get there."

She smiled, "Okay~"

After getting up and leaving the place where she was staying, Akane Kirino walked out of the alley and saw the Gujima house not far ahead at a glance.

"..."

Taking a deep breath, she walked over there and stopped outside the yard.

"Soya, I'm here."

"It looks really close."

She didn't have the strength to laugh anymore, and he didn't say any more.

"Then go to bed early, good night."

"Well, good night...and, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, the two walked into the yard separately.

Entering the brightly lit mourning hall, Akane Kirino's going back and forth attracted a few eyes, but they all moved away soon, except Hiroyuki Kirino and Keiko Kirino.

"Mother……"

Kirino Keiko sat quietly with her husband, touched her daughter's face, "Can't you sleep?"

"I'm a little hungry."

"There's still sushi in the kitchen, I'll take you there."

"No, I know where it is."

Kirino Keiko nodded, and confessed again, "Don't disturb others."

"I see."

Leaving the mourning hall, Akane Kirino walked towards the kitchen. On the way, she met a few middle-aged men in black formal suits standing together and talking.

A little closer, both sides sensed each other's psychic identity at the same time.

Because they didn't know each other, and because there was a big gap in age, the two sides just nodded after looking at each other, and there was no further exchange.

Like those people during the day, these people should also be members of the organization, Akane Kirino thought.

When they were about to go away, she heard a sigh, and they began to talk in low voices again.

"It would be great if I could find out sooner..."

"That's the 'Return to Light Spirit'... When you find it, it means..."

Back to the Light Spirit?
What the few people were talking about must be the death of his uncle Tanishima Chaoyang while climbing a mountain. Kirino Akane involuntarily slowed down, wanting to know more.

"Cy?"

Keiko Tanishima, dressed in mourning, came out of the kitchen with a tray, "I see you haven't eaten dinner, are you really hungry?"

"aunt……"

Her eyes turned red immediately.

Aunt came over with some vegetarian sushi on the tray.

"There are still in the kitchen, Qian can do whatever she wants. If there is not enough, Auntie will prepare."

The red-eyed girl shook her head again and again.

Keiko Tanishima lowered his eyes and sighed, and after a few words of consolation, he left with the tray in his hand.

Going to the kitchen to eat two pieces of sushi, Akane Kirino felt uncomfortable, and after staying for a while, she returned to the place where she rested at night.

The guest room had already been covered with bedding, and after washing, she lay down in bed.

"..."

Holding the phone, she wanted to call Soya—even if they didn't say anything, they just kept silent.

She let it go again.

"pain……"

Akane Kirino closed her eyes and rubbed them for a while.

When his eyes were blurred, the phone suddenly rang.

The phone suddenly rang.

There is new news.

Soya glanced at the pocket with the mobile phone, raised his head again, and continued brushing his teeth.

buzz-

Another message.

Brush your teeth, rinse your mouth.Take out your phone.

Two messages, from two people respectively.

Kirino: Hongko fell ill.

Yoshikawa: Sorry, I came back last night with a fever... I slept all day.
