Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 154
After sending Kyoko home, Noma Minami turned to send Yoshikawa back first, as she still had some things to talk to Soya alone.

"By the way, which street is Yoshikawa's home? I forgot."

"Teacher, there's no need to take me home. Soya and I will get off together."

Yoshikawa's words made the two people in the front seat turn their heads to look at her at the same time.

"Are you sure?"

Of course, Minami Noma, who was driving, turned back immediately, "It's already very late."

"It's okay, I'm going to visit Akane. Like Soya, she was also drunk last night."

"Tirino... I see."

Minami Noma said no more, stepped on the accelerator, and the speed soared in the middle of the night in the deserted streets.

Ten minutes later, she stopped the car at the intersection near Tongye's old house and let the two of them down.

Yoshikawa bowed slightly and said goodbye to her.

"Teacher, please be careful on the road."

Minami Noma smiled, and looked at Soya again.

"Good night."

Watching the tail lights of the coupe disappear at the end of the alley, Soya was about to say something when a drop of rain fell from the sky and landed on his arm.

"It's raining." Yoshikawa also looked up at the sky.

"Let's go back."

Soya turned and walked towards the old house, "Is Kirino still here at this time?"

"Yes." Yoshikawa followed, "Akane said she will rest here tonight."

"yes."

The two walked for a short distance in silence.

"I said, Soya..."

"Ah."

Yoshikawa looked at him, "Miss Sugawara...is she in some trouble?"

"Although it looks similar to usual, with a taciturn and indifferent look, but I always feel that it is different from the usual indifference... Should I say, is it lacking energy?"

Illuminated by the street lamps, the falling rain became denser and denser, Sogu quickened his pace.

"It turned out that Yoshikawa felt it too. Kyoko had a little argument with her parents."

"Eh...why?"

"That's the part I want to know too, but she didn't tell me."

Soya walked fast, and Yoshikawa trotted to keep up with him, "Is there some family matter that is inconvenient to tell outsiders?"

"Perhaps, there is such a possibility."

"I see that Soya and Noma-sensei are very concerned about it... Ah!"

She only looked at him, and suddenly she tripped and fell forward.

Sogu immediately reached out and grabbed her.

"thanks……"

Yoshikawa was still in shock, looked up at him, but found that his eyes were full of exhaustion.

"Don't scare me—I was also hungover all night, and I haven't closed my eyes since I woke up at noon."

"Feel sorry……"

Zong Gu didn't let go, just pulled her forward like this, his pace slowed down a lot.

"Take care of yourself first, and then take care of others."

"..."

Yoshikawa opened his mouth, feeling aggrieved amid surprise.

"Don't worry about it." Sogu turned to look at her, "I'm just reminding myself."

"……yes."

Running around constantly, and his energy is limited, even if he can't let go of Kyoko, he can only stop here today-not to mention that he has tried several times, but he just couldn't get her to open her heart.

The rain is getting worse, and Kirino's old house is just ahead.

Seeing the lights inside, Soya's body and mind unconsciously relaxed.

"Yoshikawa might as well rest here today."

"Eh……"

"By the time you and Kirino finish tossing, I'll be sleepy long ago, and I won't have the energy to take you home. Or I'll take you back now."

"Cy's waiting for me...and I can go home by myself, it's close anyway."

The two walked into the yard.

"I'm worried."

"..."

When Yoshikawa raised his eyes, he just looked ahead, with half of his face reflected in the light.

She walked briskly, came up and walked side by side with him.

"OK then."

When Minami Noma put the two of them down at the intersection, it was almost eleven o'clock at night.

And back to the old house, Akane Kirino who came out to greet her was full of energy, like a nocturnal animal.

After all, he slept for nearly a day and a night.

Walking into the entrance, Zonggu took off his shoes while yawning, envious of her casual absence from work, but also worried that her excess energy would involve himself in it, so he yawned very loudly.

"Hey, is Soya sleepy?"

"Yes. I ran around all afternoon, and on the way back, I was pestered by Noma-sensei to chat, so I didn't have time to rest."

"It's been hard work."

Akane Kirino probably hasn't gone out since she woke up. She is wearing cartoon-style pajamas and her long hair is casually draped behind her shoulders.

"However, as long as you play a few rounds of 'Truth Talk' and draw ghost cards, Soya will be refreshed. The playing cards are ready~"

"..."

Soya was scared out of his wits right now, "Kirino, I've really..."

She smiled slightly, "Just kidding."

"……That's good."

"Hot water and a change of clothes are ready, Sogu should go take a shower first."

He was slightly taken aback, "Thank you... Tong Ye is really considerate."

"My mother asked me to prepare it in advance."

it is as expected……

It's just that Kirino Keiko had good intentions, but he forgot to tell his daughter, so there is no need to tell this matter.

After taking two steps, Soya turned his head around again.

"By the way, Yoshikawa will also rest here tonight."

Akane Kirino blinked, "Really?"

Yoshikawa looked back and forth between the two, "If it's convenient."

"But there is no room left in my house..."

In the middle of Akane Kirino's words, Soya had already turned and walked towards the bathroom.

"... Hongzi will sleep in Soya's room tonight... Soya!"

If he didn't cooperate, she had nothing to do, but she also understood that he was probably really tired, so she didn't continue to pull him to make jokes.

"There are still many empty rooms, Hongzi might as well sleep with me."

"it is good."

Akane Kirino pulled Yoshikawa to the living room, "Does Hongzi feel sleepy now?"

"It's fine. I slept for over an hour on the way back."

"Then make the bed later. I slept until the sun was about to set and was woken up by my mother today. I don't want to sleep at all now."

"How much alcohol did Akane drink..."

Kirino Keiko was still taking care of business at the izakaya at this time, and would not come over at night, and Zhao Wuling had already returned to the upstairs room early, and there were only the two of them in the living room.

"I don't remember." Akane Kirino thought for a while, "It's about seven or eight cups."

"Eh……"

Yoshikawa was stunned, "Is Akane's alcohol capacity so good? I heard from Soya that he only drank two glasses before pouring it down."

She immediately laughed.

"Mom said that Soya was drinking alcohol for the first time, and he drank too quickly, so he got drunk so quickly... But the plum wine tastes really good, sweet, and has a good taste."

"yes……"

Yoshikawa murmured, "It makes me want to try it too."

Akane Kirino's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"...It shouldn't matter if you only drink a little?"

"Hmm. It's okay if I'm here."

She stood up as soon as she sat down, "Wait a minute, I'll pour a glass for Hongzi to taste."

Yoshikawa was suddenly a little nervous. She was also a good girl who had hardly ever drank, and her drinking capacity was worrying.

"Wait, Akane... that's one too many cups."

"I know—"

Before the words finished, Akane Kirino had already left the living room.

And not long after, she came back here with an empty glass, looking around.

"The green plum wine in the utility room is missing..."

"Eh?"

When Soya came out of the shower, Kirino Akane was still looking around, but the scope had expanded to the entire house.

He wiped his hair and sat down in the living room, glanced at some familiar glasses on the table, and asked casually:

"What is Kirino looking for?"

Yoshikawa looked at him, "Green plum wine."

"..."

He threw down the towel, got up and left the living room.

Half a minute later, he came back with Akane Kirino.

"It's okay to drink a little..."

"No, it matters a lot."

"A little bit……"

"Not a drop."

Akane Kirino curled her lips, seeing that he persisted, she finally compromised.

Looking at Soya who continued to wipe his hair, she asked again: "Did Soya hide the wine?"

"I don't have time."

"That's what Mom hid."

"probably."

"Where did you hide it?"

"you guess."

After drying his hair and sitting in the living room for a while, Soya felt sleepy again and wanted to rest.

Before leaving, he turned around and confessed:
"Kirino will leave it to Yoshikawa tonight."

"Eh?"

Yoshikawa was stunned for a moment, but he still didn't understand what he meant, "Please give it to me...?"

"Good night."

"Good night……"

After greeting Asagiri who was standing at the door, Soya returned to the room, pausing slightly.

"Is the quilt already laid?"

The night is already deep.

Soya got into bed and soon fell asleep.

When he was unconscious, Akane Kirino and Yoshikawa walked past the door and entered the next room.

The quilts of the two were spread together, Yoshikawa was already lying down, and Akane Kirino held her head, still in high spirits.

"Hey, I also took a bath in the hot spring...it's really good."

"Well, Qian, let's go tomorrow morning..."

"—and then? Did you meet a bear?"

"……No."

"Where's the boar?"

"nor……"

"It's a pity...ah, no, it will be troublesome if you really meet him, hehe...by the way, I heard that some people have seen wild wolves in the mountains on the other side of Xinjin, but the book also said that Japanese wolves are in 100 Extinct years ago..."

Until the early hours of the morning, Kirino Akane, who was in high spirits, was still sharing the wild adventure stories she had read in magazines;
Falling asleep and waking up again and again, Yoshikawa, who was unconscious, suddenly understood the meaning of what Soya had told him.

—Don’t try to sleep tonight.
