Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 240 Butterfly Pattern

The next day, the morning of the Gion Matsuri Yamaboko Parade Festival, the kitchen of Kirino's old house.

Hearing her footsteps, Soya turned his head and was slightly taken aback.

"Didn't sleep well, your dark circles have stained your glasses black."

"..."

Hongzi rolled down his glasses with brown lenses and gave him a glare.

"Just a little bit."

"Are these glasses specially bought to cover dark circles?"

"Only you would think that. Doesn't the color look good?"

"Well...it's okay."

She pushed up her glasses again, walked over to him, and stood for a while looking at the flames dancing under the cooking pot.

"Is Akane still awake?"

"Didn't Hongzi chat with her to the end last night? You should know when she will go to bed."

Last night, after Akane Kirino woke up, Soya handed her the phone and asked her to explain to Hongzi why they slept in the same room;

Then he fell asleep first.

This morning, he took back the dead mobile phone from the sleeping Akane Kirino, and after charging it, he discovered that the two sleep killers had chatted for more than three hours.

"Thank you for waking up so early."

"It's not that late."

Hongzi curled her lips, "I just fell asleep while chatting, and didn't hang up the phone."

"So it is."

After standing for a while, she suddenly said, "Did Zonggu dream about sex last night?"

"..."

Sogu glanced at her, "No."

"Really?"

"Just sleeping in one room."

"Why can you talk about sleeping with a girl of the same age so casually?"

"Because this kind of thing is quite common to me. Leaving aside the other girls in the orphanage, Ling and I have slept in the same room for seven or eight years."

"..."

Hongzi was dumbfounded, and after a few seconds he said, "The bell doesn't count..."

Zhao Wuling was indeed not considered his peers, but she obviously couldn't think of this.

"Childhood sweethearts are different."

"Really, I think it's about the same." Soya looked at the cooking pot and said.

Hongzi hesitated to speak, but after a long while, he only said "that's good".

"Go and wake Kirino up."

"Yeah. Why didn't Sugawara-senpai come today?"

She still hasn't forgotten half of the questions she asked last night.

"..."

Seeing Zongya looking over, she immediately said, "I'll go right away."

He turned the flame down, "Busy."

"Hey... don't you have a holiday at this time?"

"My Kyoko is very responsible."

"..."

Pinching his arm, Hongzi leaned forward again, looking into his eyes, "Could it be that Soya and Sugawara-senpai have made an appointment for next week's festival?"

"No."

"Ok."

She didn't ask any more questions, and was about to go upstairs to wake Akane Kirino to get up, when Soya stopped her again.

He was holding a small bowl with a little soup in it.

"Taste it."

Hongzi looked at him, but didn't raise his hand to pick it up, but leaned forward.

"..."

Soya brought the bowl to her mouth.

"It's delicious."

"After excluding the feeding elements."

She smiled, licked her lips again, her eyes brightened.

"It's still delicious."

After breakfast, it was still very early, but the three of them went out in a hurry.

Without him, just because the Yamaboko parade starts at [-]:[-] in the morning, and it will take a lot of time to go to Kyoto and then arrive at the Shijo Karasuma intersection where the Yamaboko parade starts.

Soya breathed a sigh of relief when he rushed to the station and squeezed onto the train which was much more crowded than usual.

"There are so many people in yukata..." Akane Kirino muttered.

"I wanted to wear a bathrobe at first," Hongzi said, "but my mother said that if I want to play all day, I won't be able to wear a bathrobe."

"Well, it will become loose after wearing it for a long time. I have to find a place to adjust it, so I'm in trouble."

"You can't walk fast in wooden clogs."

"Unless it was the Xiaoshan Festival last night."

"Yes."

The two leaned against the car door, and Soya, who was acting as a human shield wall, turned his back to them, without saying a word.

The tram stopped and went, only people came up, but no one went down, and it became more and more crowded. The only good news is that there is no need to transfer trains.

Arriving in Kyoto, the three of them got out of the car as if they were fleeing, so as not to be overwhelmed by the stream of people pouring out behind them.

And Kyoto Station is crowded with people, and the Yamaboko parade is about to start. Whether it is the subway Karasuma Line or the Keihan Electric Railway, it is the busiest time at this time, and there is a long queue on the platform.

"There are so many people... Do you want to go out and take the bus? Although there may be a queue." Akane Kirino looked at Soya.

"Go out."

He looked at the phone, "Suzu is waiting for us near the bus platform at Hachijoguchi, Kyoto Station outside. Does Kirino know where to go?"

"Hey... I know, go this way."

Walking out of Kyoto Station, Kirino Akane, who was familiar with the terrain, brought Soya and Hongko to the bus stop, and saw Asagiri in a yukata from a distance.

"bell."

Soya approached, looked at the black and red bathrobe with butterfly pattern on her body, and suddenly felt familiar.

"This bathrobe is so beautiful."

"..."

She lowered her head slightly, then looked up at him again, "I've prepared the car."

Following her fingers, Sogu saw a black limousine parked on the side of the road, with a middle-aged man in a suit standing beside him, who gave a slight salute, as if it was the driver.

When he turned his head, Akane Kirino and Hongzi, who were still active before leaving the station, became a little cautious at this moment.

"What are you still standing there for? Help the eldest lady get into the car."

"..."

Zhao Wuling glanced at him, and the two girls laughed immediately, and took her hands across him from left to right.

Sitting in the car, the two were still studying her bathrobe.

"It feels like the material is very high-end, and it feels really comfortable..."

"Ah, the goldfish buckle on the belt is so cute!"

Chao Wuling let the two of them grope around, and nodded to the driver.

The car started smoothly, and the people in the car hardly felt it.

Soya looked at the luxurious interior of the car, and when he turned his gaze back, Akane Kirino was pinching Asagirizuki's yukata sleeve.

"What is the meaning of the butterfly pattern on the bathrobe..."

Hongzi thought for a while, but she wasn't sure, so she spoke to Wuling herself.

"Resurrection, transformation... Immortality."

"..."

Zong Gu glanced at her, and the two girls were also stunned for a while.

"Ah, by the way...'Emerging into a butterfly' means longevity..."

Asagiri just nodded and looked at Soya.

Such a meaning is a hope for others, but it has become a reality for her...

He looked out the car window, "The road around Shijo Karasuma is closed, where can the car go?"

"Where do you want to go?" she asked back.

After all, Soya participated in the Gion Festival for the first time. He wanted to take a complete look at the process of the 33 Yamaboko parade in Kyoto from beginning to end, so he naturally chose the intersection of Shijo Street and Karasuma Street as the starting point.

"it is good."

The road was closed, and even she couldn't break in, but they could be sent as close as possible.

After driving smoothly for a while, the car stopped on the side of the road.

After getting out of the car, Chao Wuling said something to the driver, who kept bending over to listen and nodding.

Kirino Akane and Hongko stepped on their feet and looked into the distance, Soya waited for a while, then she came to hold his hand.

"Let's go."

"I remember."

She looked up, "What?"

"last night……"

Soya squatted down, "That girl wearing a mask on Mantis Mountain is Suzu, right? The bathrobe is the same."

Chao Wuling nodded slightly, "The people in Tanglangshan Town invited me, so they sat there for a while."

"What a coincidence..."

"Ah."

"Why didn't Jingzi and Yuzi sense the bell?"

"I'm wearing the amulet my teacher gave me."
