Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 237

The giant praying mantis on the top of the mountain car is ready to move, and the mantis lottery machine that spits out small balls after turning is the unique feature of Tanglang Mountain.

In addition, around Mantis Mountain, people from the Town Preservation Association, like other places, are also trying their best to sell various souvenirs related to the Honmachi roller coaster.

For example, the T-shirts they are wearing are white and have a big "mantis" written on the front and back;

There are also handbooks or postcards with various postures of praying mantises.

In the most conspicuous place, there are also two models of praying mantises that cost tens of thousands of yen.

The red and white lanterns are reflected above, and the mantis model covered with gold foil is shining, and the details are so exquisite that it is difficult for people to look away after staring at it.

"..."

After staring for a while, Yuzi turned her head and found that her sister and brother were standing on the other side, flipping through the hand-painted mantis album on the booth.

Stand very close to each other, but still a little distance away.

"It's so cute." Soya turned a page back, "It's also very vivid."

Jingzi nodded, looked at the album, and then at him who was right in front of him.

"These are designed by children in the town..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was suddenly pushed forward and crashed into his arms.

"what……"

Raising his hand to support Kyoko, Soya looked down at the child lying behind her waist.

"Yuzi."

"Sister, I'm a little tired..."

She hugged her sister, buried her face in her waist, and didn't look at them.

The two looked at each other, "Sorry..."

"fine."

Supporting Soya's chest, Kyoko straightened her body again, and patted her sister's head with her backhand.

"Don't hug her up suddenly, what if you bump into someone else."

"Well……"

Yuzi just rubbed against her waist.

Probably tired from playing, Soya thought to himself.

If counting from the moment they set foot on Shijo Street, they have been wandering the streets and alleys of Shijo Karasuma for more than two hours.

Although he didn't feel tired yet.

"Then let's go back." Zong Gu said.

Although they haven’t finished visiting the 33 Yamahokos yet, few people come here to visit all the Yamahokos in the Yoriyama Festival—even if they don’t stop for a moment, it will take a lot of time, not to mention the roads are crowded with people.

"It's not too early."

A trace of regret was fleeting in the bottom of my heart, Jingzi was a little bit unsatisfied, but she nodded quickly.

"it is good."

She pulled her sister, and Soya also reached out to hold Tamago's other hand.

Afterwards, he turned around and pushed aside the crowd, walked along Xidongyuan Pass to the more brightly lit Shitiao Pass.

Gradually walking away, the figures of the three were quickly submerged in the crowd.

Someone on the Mantis Mountain Car stood up.

The girl in yukata who looked for the signature for Soya during the lottery, stood on a high place and watched for a while, then took off the mantis mask and handed it to another little girl in the float.

"I'm going to look elsewhere."

"Okay, please walk slowly...Hey, those stupid big guys, get up and clear the way for Master Ling!"

The night was getting darker, but the road was still crowded with people, and the eve festival of the Yamaboko parade lasted until eleven o'clock at night.

It took another half an hour to walk from Xidongyuan to Shijo Street, and then walk along Shijo Street to Gion.

Yuzi, who pretended to be tired, was really tired at this time—she was still taking exams during the day.

Although the older sister stared, but acted like a baby a little bit, the older brother picked her up.

"When we get to the station, we have to get down." Kyoko supported her back from behind, "Songya-san is also very tired after walking around for so long."

"I know..."

Walking to the Shijo Bridge, the taverns and restaurants on both sides of the Kamogawa River are still bustling.The embankment was not deserted either, with people coming and going, and a pair of bands were playing and singing by themselves in the dim light.

Standing on the bridge and watching for a while, Soya turned his head to look at Kyoko, "Do you want to take a walk by the river?"

"..."

Looking at the half-awake younger sister lying on his back, Jingzi sighed silently and shook her head again.

"Come again next time."

"Ok."

Walking from one side of the bridge to the other, Kyoko quickened her pace a little and walked parallel to Soya.

"..."

Before he could speak, Yuzi on his back suddenly turned his head.

Her eyes were open, and she suddenly regained her energy for some unknown reason.

"Sister and brother will come over tomorrow to watch the Yamahoko parade!"

Kyoko was startled, then shook her head, and looked at Soya who was looking over.

"Brother will accompany another sister tomorrow."

"..."

Soya remained silent, and looked forward again.

"Eh--"

Yuzi hugged his neck tightly and leaned forward, "Who is the other sister?"

"People Yuzi doesn't know."

The yukata was a little loose, and Kyoko stroked her sister's back, telling her not to ask any more questions.

"Tomorrow I can bring Yuzi back with me." Soya said, "Kyoko too."

She smiled briefly, then shook her head at the end.

"Father and mother will bring Tamago over to watch the Yamahoko parade tomorrow, Soya-san don't have to worry."

"Where's Kyoko?"

"It's like this every year. I didn't have much interest in it."

Kyoko came up and held his arm, "It's true."

Soya nodded, didn't say much, then turned his arm towards her.

"..."

She pursed her lips and smiled, took her arm and pressed closer to him.

"Songya-san."

"Ah."

"Thank you for accompanying Yuzi and me here today."

"You are Welcome……"

After crossing the Shijo Bridge, the entrance to the underground Gion Shijo Station was in front of her. Tamago hugged Soya's shoulder tightly and said that she would wait until she entered the station before coming down.

Walking into the passage, the bustle of the Xiaoshan Festival stays on the ground, and the surroundings suddenly become much quieter.

He lifted the girl behind him up.

"I'm also very happy to date Kyoko."

"……Um."

Entering the station, Soya put down Tamago.Passing through the gate, there happened to be a returning tram on the platform.

It was not too early, and there were many people who wanted to go back. The three who came late could only stand in the carriage for the time being.

And Yuzi was refreshed for a while, but after a while she started to wobble again.

At first, Soya and Kyoko were pulling her together, but she couldn't stand behind her, so she turned around and fell on Kyoko's lap.

The family of three next to her met and squeezed to the other side to make a small space in the corner for her to sit down.

"thanks……"

Jingzi thanked Yuzi, supported Yuzi, and stood beside her.

After a while, the return tram finally started, staggered, and plunged into the dark night beside Lake Biwa.

The night is darker.

When we arrived at Yezhou Station, most of the people on the bus had disappeared.

When the tram stopped, Kyoko shook Okiko to wake her up, but as usual, Soya didn't let Soya get off the car to see her off.

"Good night."

"Yeah. Soya-san still has a lot of work to do tomorrow, so get some rest early."

"..."

He just nodded, and Kyoko smiled again.

"Today I went to the Yoshiyama Festival with Soya-san. I am very happy and satisfied. Don't worry about me tomorrow, Soya-san. Enjoy the Yamahoko parade for the first time with peace of mind. You won't be disappointed."

Soya opened his mouth.

"Okay... I'll make a note of it."

"Good night."

The doors closed, and the two sisters waved on the platform until the tram disappeared into the night with Soya.

"Will my sister marry Brother Sogu?" Yuzi asked suddenly.

"..."

Jingzi looked at her younger sister unexpectedly, smiled again, but said nothing, and dragged her to the outside of the station.

"I heard from my mother...Father seems to really hope that my brother can come to our house and marry my sister. If this is the case, my sister will not leave the shrine."

"..."

The footsteps stopped suddenly, and Kyoko glanced at Yuzi again.

Only this time, there was no smile on her face.

"yes."

"elder sister……"

Watching her reaction, Yuzi quickly realized that she seemed to have said something she shouldn't have said.

"Sister...it hurts..."

"..."

Kyoko regained her senses, let go of Yuzi's hand, and took another deep breath.

"Sorry... Yuzi, don't tell brother about this, can you?"

Yuzi took the initiative to lead it up again.

"I see……"

"Well, go back."
