Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 141 Half a Century
Picking up a croquette, Akane Kirino bit off half of it, her eyes still scanning the table.

"Mmmm...creamy stew, fried chicken, croquettes, sweet and spicy shrimp, seaweed salad..."

She paused, swallowed the food in her mouth, licked her lower lip again, and smiled at the chef in front of her.

"Tonight's dinner is so rich."

"Okay."

Sitting opposite, Soya looked at the red mark on her face when she was sleeping, and lowered her head to take a sip of bonito kombu soup.

"There are only these ingredients in the refrigerator, so I just use them all."

"Eh?"

Yuedu next to him raised his head, "Is it leftover from eating... No wonder the sweet and spicy shrimp has a peculiar smell."

"Even the remaining ingredients are still within the fresh range." Soya glanced at him sideways, "The peculiar smell you ate is because when you ate fried chicken nuggets just now, you squeezed lemon juice onto the shrimp."

"Oh oh oh!"

The patter, which made people feel uncomfortable physically and mentally, was blocked out of the window.After eating the dinner carefully prepared by Soya, Akane Kirino finally had a little more smile on her face.

"I feel that the cream stew made by Soya is similar to the taste of my mother's."

He sat up straight.

"yes."

Guests are happy.

Akane Kirino picked up another piece of fried chicken and put it directly into her mouth. She was too lazy to squeeze lemon juice today.

"I just fell asleep before I knew it, and I didn't hear the first call from my mother..."

Kirino Keiko and her husband will stay in Saitama for one more day, but she still misses her daughter who returned to Kinki alone.After getting in touch, I was relieved to learn that she stayed in the old house for dinner at night.

"Hiroko and I will be back tomorrow afternoon at the latest, and Akane will ask Soya to take care of it first."

"Where... that's all I can do."

"Hehe, Soya is really steady..."

Perhaps because of his heavy heart, Kirino Keiko didn't joke as bluntly as usual, but just expressed his gratitude.

It's all before dinner.

Zongya picked up a piece of cauliflower dipped in cream, and before putting it in his mouth, he asked, "Did you sleep well?"

"Yes."

Seeing the cream on his chin, Akane Kirino rolled her eyes, "I didn't dare to sleep when I came back by Shinkansen alone..."

Soya nodded, "Then rest early."

"I haven't finished my homework yet."

"It's time to make up tomorrow."

She shook her head, "I always feel that it's not comfortable to procrastinate. I think I'll settle it tonight."

Soya was noncommittal.

"eat first."

After dinner, Akane Kirino wanted to help wash the dishes, but Soya declined, so she went back to the living room to continue her homework.

There are not many homework, but a few subjects introduce some new knowledge, which must be learned and understood before it can be completed.

Class A and Class B have basically the same teachers for each subject. Zhao Wuling explained to her with the notebooks borrowed by Kirino Akane's deskmate.

"Ah, so that's how it's used..."

Kirino Akane looked down at the formula on the note, and thought for a while to understand it.She didn't show a relaxed smile until her thoughts were cleared.

"Suzu and Soya are both good at math. Did you get perfect marks in the last test?"

Zhao Wuling nodded, but only admitted the results of the last exam, and did not fully agree with her words.

"I'm not good at math."

"Ring is too modest."

"Not being humble, I just took a little longer to understand."

"Math wouldn't be the most frustrating subject if it took a little more time to get good at it... Ah, Soya."

After washing the dishes, Soya went to the bathroom to check the hot water situation, and just came to the living room.

He also heard the words of the two.

"Ling is more interested in things like literature and history, and is indeed not very good at mathematics."

Akane Kirino held her chin, "Can you get full marks even if you are not good at math?"

"Didn't Bell say that, she just spent more time."

"How long is some time?"

"Half a century..." After looking towards Wuling, Soya changed his words again, "Ten years or so."

Akane Kirino only thought he was joking and glared at him.

"The hot water is ready."

Soya looked down at Asagiri Ling, "Let's wash Ling first, leave it to me here."

"Ah."

She got up and left the living room.

"How is it?" He glanced at the notes on the desktop, "It should be almost there?"

"There's a little left." Kirino Akane said.

Soya sat down and motioned for her to continue.

"I'll take you back later."

"Huh? I'm not going back today."

"Spending the night here?"

"Yes."

After all, she is the only one in the family.

Soya nodded quickly, "Which room does Missy want to sleep in, I'll make the bed."

Akane Kirino laughed, "Whatever."

"Sleep upstairs." He looked at the notes, "Is there a change of clothes here?"

She stood up suddenly.

Soya looked up, and Akane Kirino held out her hand to him.

"Go get it now."

It was raining lightly outside, and it was dark.

After walking out of the entrance, Soya opened the umbrella and Akane Kirino squeezed in.

"Let's go."

There is no one on the road, a lamp is hung in the distance, and the rain is falling.

Shoulder to shoulder, walking to the intersection, a few figures can be vaguely seen on the other side.

"Can Soya see them?"

"You can see it, it's a human being."

Soya took a second look, "The one standing on the left is Mr. Oba who runs the winery."

"Ah...it seems a bit like him."

Akane Kirino withdrew her gaze and continued to walk forward, "Since there are more spirits nearby, it's fine during the day, but I can't help but think about it when I walk at night."

"It doesn't matter if you meet a spirit body." Sogu held the umbrella and leaned towards her, "Turn a blind eye, most spirit bodies will be fine."

"It's much easier for you to hurt them than it is for them to hurt you. Whether it's an umbrella or a tree branch, they are all weapons in the hands of a spiritual being."

She shook her head, "I won't take the initiative to hurt them."

"Ah."

He also just wanted Akane Kirino to realize that she was not helpless when encountering a spirit body, so as to reduce her fear.

When they came to Kirino's house, Akane Kirino went up to pack her clothes, and Soya waited at the bottom, and it took a long time to see her come down.

"...what are you doing with the suitcase?"

"Get dressed."

"Just to spend the night there tonight?"

"I plan to live in the old house during the summer vacation, so I'll bring some clothes there now."

"Ok."

Soya took the initiative to take the suitcase.

"Thank you ~ let me hold an umbrella."

Back at the old house, Zhao Wuling had already come out of the bathroom, and it was no surprise that Akane Kirino planned to stay overnight.

After finding out the clothes, the latter went to take a bath, and Soya brushed Asagiri's hair in the living room.

A faint fragrance permeates the air, strange yet somewhat familiar.

He leaned in and sniffed, poking the tip of his nose into the damp hair.

"..."

She leaned back a little.

"The bottle of shampoo that Yoshikawa gave you is used up?"

"Ah."

"Let's go to the supermarket tomorrow to have a look."

The towel covered her short hair again, wrapped her head around her head, and rubbed it gently.

"It happens that the ingredients are also exhausted and need to be replenished."

"Ah."

Akane Kirino came out of the shower, followed by Soya.Every time Yuedu takes a bath, he has to soak for a long time, and he always stays until late at night, so of course Soya won't wait for him.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Yuedu went downstairs to take a bath, but found that the light in the living room was still on.

"what?"

The two who were still in the living room looked over together.

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

Soya covered his face with his hands and took a deep breath.

"Doing something interesting."

"Hey, what is it?" Yuedu became interested.

He walked over, and Akane Kirino smiled and pushed the math notes over.

"this."

"..."

Yuedu turned around and went out again.

"Hahaha--"

Akane Kirino laughed even more, but her eyes touched Soya who looked a little helpless, and she immediately restrained herself.

"Obviously I was the one guiding Soya before..."

"That was all a long time ago." Soya held the note in front of him, "If Kirino could concentrate, this problem would have been solved long ago."

"I can't concentrate on learning the content that I don't need now..."

"You'll learn it later."

Akane Kirino lay on the table, stretched out a hand, and closed the note.

"Then let's talk about it later?"

Soya didn't care.After all, the lessons after the preview were originally her whimsical request.

He stood up and stretched.

No need to look at the time, since Yuedu Ken came down to take a shower, he knew it was late at night, and Chao Wuling had already gone back upstairs.

"have a rest."

"I'm hungry."

"..."

There was no other food, and there was some rice left in the kitchen.

With soy sauce and bonito flakes, Soya made rice balls.

"Knead into small rice balls."

Kirino Akane poked her head out from the side, "The kind that can be eaten in one bite."

"Ah."

He divided the rice ball in his hand into three, grabbed some bonito flakes, and squeezed out a small rice ball first.

"Have a taste."

She didn't answer, but opened her mouth slightly.

"Ah~"
