Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 219 The opening of the awakening and consolation meeting

The setting sun is sinking gradually, dyeing the sky in the west into a bright orange red, and the Arashiyama in the distance is hazy.

Not long after Tianzi Ju left, Jingzi "woke up".

Along with the forward steps, her body undulated and swayed, and she was lying on Soya's back.

Next to it is a flowing river, and a group of people are sitting on the green field. In front of him is the back of his neck, with beads of sweat condensed.

She raised her hand, wiped off the sweat with the sleeve of the priestess uniform, and said in a low voice, "Songya, please let me down."

"..."

He paused, turned his head to look at her for a while, and then turned around again.

"Have you regained your strength?"

Is it because he has walked on the road for a day and his body has no strength, so he is carrying it on his back?
The memory was a bit fuzzy, and Kyoko couldn't think too deeply.

She only remembered that when he reached the four bridges, he took her out of the team, walked along the Kamo River to the three bridges, and then walked back, which seemed to be a matter of course.

The scene of him bending down and her lying on his back is still vivid, but she can't remember how she agreed.

"Probably... recovered a bit."

Sogu lifted her up and continued to walk forward, "Then let's go a little further."

Kyoko pursed her lower lip and put her arm around his shoulder.

"it is good."

Whether it was a quick visit to the 33 Yamahoko warehouses, or walking from the four bridges to the three bridges, what happened from the morning to just now was like a long dream, until now she felt the real feeling.

Is it because of "that state"... Should it be over now?
"Songya-san."

"Ah."

"You feel..." Kyoko still didn't know how to describe it, but she thought he could understand, "Is that the feeling?"

"..."

Soya looked up at the sky.

Unfortunately, he was always sober.

"I feel it. But I don't know how to describe it to you."

Kyoko smiled softly and had no doubts about it.

"Me too."

Lying on his back and smelling his body, she only felt very at ease.

Perhaps it was also because of having him by her side, after breaking away from that chaotic state, she did not feel extremely empty and lost like in previous years.

There seemed to be something stuck to the lower edge of her palm, and she turned it over to look, only to find that it was a plump and complete grain of rice.

rice?

Kyoko questioned in a declarative tone: "Did I just eat half of the rice ball that Soya-san gave me?"

"Um……"

Soya paused for a moment, "One person ate half, what's wrong?"

"No... nothing."

Kyoko unconsciously licked her lower lip, realizing that she seemed to be unable to remember the taste of that rice ball.

"How does Jingzi feel about the taste?" He suddenly asked again.

"..."

She was silent for a few seconds, then turned her head to look at Kamogawa next to her, "It's delicious..."

Soya laughed, and then lifted her up again.

"It's about to slide down, hold on tighter."

"Um……"

Jingzi leaned forward, hugged his neck tightly, and faced his profile.

After staring for a while, she looked away and looked at the house next to her.

Several cement stone pillars support the terrace extending to the river, and the wooden houses are connected. There are some izakaya, restaurant and other shops operating here;
When the time is later, when the sun goes down, the characteristic cooling beds along the Kamogawa River will appear together with the rising night lights.

Lying on Soya's back, after walking past a tall four-story wooden house, Kyoko looked forward again.

The four bridges leading to Gion Yasaka Shrine are not far away.

"Souya-san, let me come down."

"Ah."

Soya stopped and slowly let go of her legs.

"How about it?"

"no problem."

Keeping her feet on the ground, Kyoko straightened her maiden clothes and moved her stiff body a little.

"Let's go."

Dressed in the sunset, pedestrians come and go on the embankment, leisurely.

There are also people sitting on the grass embankment, either in groups of three or four, talking loudly, or alone, quietly facing the Kamogawa that flows by itself.

The four bridges were right in front of them, and the two of them walked slowly, strolling along the embankment, enjoying the momentary silence, and occasionally stopped to stand by the river for a while.

As the sky got later, Zongya took a deep breath as he watched the setting sun sink into the ground and the sunset glow turned dark red.

He looked at Kyoko beside him, "At this time, Yasaka Shrine should be almost over."

"Ah."

"Is there any other arrangement after that?"

She shook her head, "After reporting to the gods, the ceremony is over."

"Then they return separately?" Soya asked.

"Almost." Kyoko looked at him, "There is no requirement from the organization, and the people of each shrine will arrange it themselves."

"What's Miss Noma's plan?"

"I will go back after having a solace here in Kyoto, with the people from Shiramaru Shrine."

"Is there a condolence meeting... Actually, I didn't do anything."

"This makes it easier to apply for funding from institutions."

"..."

After the sun goes down, it seems that with each breath, it gets darker all around;
Accompanied by it, the lights on both sides of the Kamo River gradually lit up.

Soya stretched out his hand, "In this case, let's go there too."

"Ah."

Kyoko nodded and took his hand.

Arriving at Yasaka Shrine in the dark, the psychics from all over Kinki had already dispersed.

In the nearby parking lot, Soya and Kyoko found Fuyun Shrine's car, and only Hanai Mayuri stayed in the car waiting for them.

"When I come back to my senses, both of you are gone... where did you go?"

"Kamogawa," Soya replied, "take a walk."

"..."

Huajing looked at them, "It's lucky that you can still go for a walk in that state."

She is not Minami Noma, although she cares about it, she doesn't know how to get to the bottom of it, Soya smiled and perfunctory.

"Come on, Anan and the others are already waiting."

"where is it?"

"Bai Chuan's side."

The two took their respective things, Huajing locked the car door, and walked out of the parking lot.

"Well, it's there again."

"Sayaka insisted on going to a 'place only adults can go', but Anan didn't agree."

"……yes."

When they came to Baichuan, the place chosen by Noma Minami and the others was not the restaurant they had last time, but it was not far away.

In the large box on the second floor, the priestesses of the two shrines sat together and divided into two sides, surrounded by a round table with an iron pot in the middle.

Soya sniffled and moved his index finger.

"Do you want to eat sukiyaki..."

"Soya, Kyoko, this way~"

Minami Noma waved at the table in the back, and Sayaka Hasegawa and Emi Toyosaki sat on her left and right, watching him and Kyoko motionlessly.

"..."

Soya didn't really want to go there, but the other table was already full.

After being seated, Kyoko sat down next to Okiko, and Soya followed her.

"Where did you go?" Noma Minami asked.

"Duck River."

"How did you do it?"

"I don't know." Sogu looked at the iron pan in the middle, it had just started heating, and the temperature was still very low, and the butter cubes put on it hadn't melted at all, "When I come to my senses, Kyoko and I are already there."

"yes."

Noma Minami was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Isn't this feeling amazing?"

"Ah."

"What do you think?"

"so slow……"

"What's so slow?"

"Barbecue."

"..."

After a while, the beef in the iron pan sizzled, and the drinks were also brought into the box.

"So--"

Minami Noma held up the juice, "Everyone worked hard today. This meal is paid for by the organization, so you're welcome, just let your stomach go. Cheers!"

"cheers--"
