Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 180 Institutions and Past Events

Walking out of the dark and long path among the trees, Soya saw a mossy green field and several quaint wooden houses connected together.

Located at the mountain pass, Guangmingji Ruriko-in Temple leans against Mount Hiei, and the backyard is even more integrated into the mountain.There are layers of dense forests outside, and tall pine trees are also planted in the yard, which controls the organization of the enlightened people in Kinki, hidden here in a rather ancient way.

"The organization has been here for many years, so it's fine...and if someone really wants to break in, the security guards hiding in the woods are not vegetarians."

As Minami Noma spoke, he raised his hand and pointed a pistol at Soya.

"Biu~"

"gun?"

"You don't need a gun. Could it be that you use a bamboo knife? Of course, they won't do it unless it is absolutely necessary. It should be said that such a thing has never happened until now."

"So, Ms. Noma is just guessing?"

"Stop talking nonsense."

She turned around, stepped on the bluestone slab, and walked towards the entrance of the wooden house.

"Hurry up, there are still many things to do today."

Soya and Kyoko followed immediately.

"Will this be used again?" He waved the black card in his hand.

There is a gate in front of the exit of the tree path, which is the gate mentioned by Minami Noma, and you need to swipe your card to pass through. Soya doesn't know if he will use it in the future.

"Of course, this card is your proof of identity in the institution." Minami Noma said.

It was raining, and the ground in the courtyard was covered with thick moss.The mottled stone slabs are one after the other, paving a winding path on the moss, connecting the entrance of the wooden house covered with pine and maple.

On the side of the door stood a two-meter-high stone tablet, which was no longer concealed: Kinki Spiritual Enlightenment Organization.

The time when the monument was erected at the bottom was still in the early years of the Meiji era.

Entering the entrance, the three of Zongya had just changed their shoes when a middle-aged man wearing glasses came out.

"Hmm...Miss Noma, long time no see."

Soya and Kyoko stopped and looked at each other.

【do not know. 】

Kyoko shook her head slightly.

"You are……"

Noma Minami squinted at the other party for a while, and finally recognized him, "Ah, Terao! Long time no see, the change is so great, I almost didn't recognize you."

"Why did you go back to the headquarters, the work over there in Nara is over? I remember you have passed five or six years."

She asked a series of questions, and the man called Terao shook his head, and smiled helplessly.

"ended."

Minami Noma looked at him, "Looking at your expression, you must have been kicked back by the local shrine's shrine master, right?"

The bitterness on Terao's face was even worse, and he admitted it.

"The old palace secretary of that shrine passed away at the beginning of this year. Takagi, Koizumi, and I were in charge of leading the succession of the shrine. We went to Tokyo to retrieve the eldest son of the old palace secretary and let him take over as the new palace secretary. manage……"

Minami Noma already understood most of it in his heart, and glanced at Kyoko beside him calmly.

"That guy actually doesn't want to, right?"

"Yes. It took us a lot of effort to get him to agree to inherit the shrine."

Terao sighed, and continued.

"A few days ago, I received a notice from the agency that Ms. Sakurai Saki will take over my work at the shrine. After I return to the headquarters, I will be temporarily responsible for assisting in the investigation of the recent incident."

"You were actually transferred back to the headquarters...you were complained?" Minami Noma asked.

"I have been complained." He nodded, "In the two months since Secretary Shingong took office, I have been complained more than 100 times."

"Wow..."

Noma Minami was speechless, "That guy must have too much resentment towards you. Haven't Takagi and Koizumi received any complaints?"

"No. And the new palace wants the organization to send a young witch to assist him instead of a male priest."

"..."

Noma Minami didn't know how to comment, and Terao didn't want to talk about this topic, so he asked her why she came here today.

"Report on the work, and give this kid a certificate by the way."

Seeing him coming, Sogu bowed his head and greeted, "Hello."

Terao looked at the light high uniform on his body, "This one is a new face I haven't seen before. Miss Noma's student?"

"Almost." Minami Noma nodded, "He is the child I just discovered this year."

"Although the aptitude is mediocre and the person is not very smart, but this face looks pretty good, so I keep it with me."

"..."

Soya squeezed out a not-so-intelligent smile and cooperated with her.

Terao looked at Kyoko who was holding back a smile.

"Miss Sugawara probably doesn't know me, but I can say that I watched you grow up. Some time ago, I saw Miss Sugawara's photo in the organization's magazine, 'One shot breaks the devil'. I still have a deep impression."

Jingzi looked calm, restrained her emotions, and then nodded slightly.

"Hello."

"By the way..." Minami Noma suddenly thought of something, "Terao just said that you are now assisting in the investigation of the 'God's Watching' incident at the headquarters?"

"Yes."

"Exactly..."

It's rare to meet an acquaintance who can handle things, and she plans to settle the matter here today, so as to save another trip tomorrow.

"I forgot to sort out the investigation report. Where is your office, let me use the computer. Can I use the printer? By the way, let me refer to other people's reports..."

Noma Minami asked Kyoko to take Soya around the headquarters first to familiarize himself with the environment, and followed Terao to his office.

Looking at her back, Soya sighed softly, "It's really unreliable..."

Kyoko smiled, "Let me take Soya-san to visit."

"it is good."

"Take off the amulet, ordinary people are too noticeable here."

"yes……"

She led the way, and Soya followed behind, watching while walking.

Going a little deeper, he discovered that there was something strange inside the organization.

From the outside, here are just a few simple Japanese-style wooden houses, although elegant, they are also slightly old.In fact, the interior of the wooden house has been completely transformed into a modern office area.The lights are bright, the floor is covered with gray and black carpets, and the white desks are neatly arranged and well-equipped.

Compared with offices in commercial office buildings, the biggest difference is that the desks here are filled with priests, witches and even monks, not salarymen in suits and leather shoes.

Kyoko told Soya that there is still a rather large area underground, but it is not used for office work, but to store information on the activities of spirit bodies gathered from all over Kinki.

"It turned out to be underground... No wonder there is no archive room here."

The two continued along the corridor of the wooden house.

There is only a sliding door, one side is an elegant and fresh simple courtyard, and the other side is a modern office, which is full of separation and at the same time makes people feel a little fresh.

During the visit, Soya and Kyoko also met some spiritual beings.And most of them knew Kyoko, they greeted her proactively, and then looked at him with probing eyes.

"I joined the organization when I was younger than Yuzi."

The visit was almost over, she stood on the edge, stopped in front of a bend of water, and looked at the tree roots washed out by the rain on the opposite side, as well as the piled up jagged stones.

"Before entering middle school, I spent most of my time here, so there will be more people who know me."

Soya stood aside, sat down cross-legged again, and touched the smooth floor with his hands.

"Are you with Miss Noma?"

"No, Miss Noma was sent to Fuyun Shrine later."

Kyoko also knelt beside him, her sleeves hanging down, "At that time, the maiden stationed at the shrine was Ms. Chiaki Nakahara, who was also my master."

"Master?"

"Well. Qualified witches can accept apprentices, but it's not necessary, it's just a choice. The witches pass on from generation to generation, and most of the time they are cultivated or helped by real people."

Soya looked at her, "Just like the relationship between Kyoko and Okja?"

She smiled.

"Yuzi and I are sisters, but we both happen to be spiritual beings."

"What a reliable sister."

"Soya-san is also very reliable... in many ways."

The two sat on the secluded edge, looking at the courtyard, chatting about the past.After a while, Minami Noma, who rushed to produce a new investigation report and hand it in, came here.

"It turns out that you two are hiding here. My matter has been settled, and it's time to solve Soya's problem—or should I let you chat for a while?"

"There will be plenty of time in the future." Soya stood up and stretched out his hand to Kyoko, "First solve the immediate problem before we talk."

Minami Noma looked at the two of them.

"After marriage?"

She stood up, and he slowly let go of her hand.

"After getting rid of the danger of repeating grades brought about by Miss Noma's constant use of me."

　It seems a bit dry, I can't change it, let's release the two chapters together
