Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 259 On the Westbound Train

Seeing Yueyue wake up, Zong Gu simply woke Hong Zi up, and Akane Kirino handed her the last station lunch.

"Hmm... are you coming?"

"It's still early, I just arrived in Hiroshima."

After taking the lunch box and opening the lid, Hongzi immediately smiled.

"It's so rich..."

"It's all chosen by Soya." Akane Kirino stretched out her chopsticks, "Let me taste that lotus root slice~"

"it is good."

The dishes in the bento were exchanged with each other, and the lunch on the train continued.

After all, it was not comfortable to eat on the back of the seat, so Soya quickly turned around and sat down again, only to notice that there was only a small half of Tsukiyomi's bento left.

"Are you hungry? Why are you in such a hurry to eat?"

"I will be robbed by you."

"...that was an exchange."

The train is speeding, and the fields and mountains outside the window are receding.It was sunny again, with a few white clouds floating in the blue sky, and the city in the distance slowly changed its shape.

After eating the bento, the train slowed down for a while and stopped at Hiroshima Station.

Some got off, and some got on, and walked from one side of the non-reserved seat car to the other, but they couldn't find a place to sit down.

After stopping for a while, the train continued towards the next station, Shin-Iwakuni, and the dining time for Soya and the others was over.

"give it to me."

Gathered the bento boxes together, got out of the car to dispose of them, Soya took a few sips of drinks, leaned against the back of the chair to relax.

Beside and behind him, the three people who slept most of the way did not go back to sleep for a while after eating and drinking.

"Isn't it almost here?" Yueyue asked.

"It's early, we haven't crossed the Kanmon Strait yet."

"Where is that... just tell me how far it is."

Soya thought for a while, "The next stop is Shiniwakuni. If you count it, there are still seven more stops."

"Hey..." Akane Kirino looked over, "Has Soya remembered all the stops of the Shinkansen?"

"In the past two days, I have seen more about the route, so I will remember it."

Yuedu was not interested in his extraordinary memory, but felt that the journey was long, so he couldn't help but sigh.

"There are still seven stations..."

Akane Kirino leaned forward, looked at him and said, "This is already the fastest train."

"Ok."

Yuedu responded perfunctorily, then leaned against the car window and stared blankly.

It's just that he was restless at all, tossing and turning, or sighing, every once in a while he would ask Zongya how long it would take to get to the next stop;
After so many repetitions, Soya was finally overwhelmed by the annoyance, and left the sentence "No matter how long it takes, I won't go back today", and Yuedu calmed down.

Kirino Qian looked at him, "Yuezi really doesn't like to go out."

Soya sneered: "It's just an Internet addiction."

"..."

Yuedu closed his eyes and turned his back to them. After a while, there was a slight snoring sound.

Hopeless……

Sogu can only be thankful that he is not a human being, as long as he wants to have fun.

On the other side, Kirino Akane did not continue to sleep, and chatted with Hongzi in the back seat for a while, and then she sat down and stared blankly for a while;
When Soya's attention fell on her again, the girl clamped her legs tightly, her body twisted slightly on the seat, and she seemed unable to sit still.

It took him a while to realize, and whispered: "Do you want to go to the bathroom?"

"……Um."

Akane Kirino nodded, moved closer, and lowered her voice.

"I'll go over now, Soya will take care of the seat for me...don't let others take it."

Because it is a non-reserved seat, the seat in the car does not belong to anyone, just like the tram, whoever sits down is his seat.

Soya and his party got on the bus at the departure station in Kyoto, and they could still choose their seats freely. However, it is common to find that there are no empty seats after getting on the bus halfway, and they can only stand all the way to the destination.

For example, at this time, there are some passengers without seats standing at the junction of the carriages.

Occasionally, someone would poke their head out and stare covetously into the carriage, trying to find an empty space.

Akane Kirino was worried that they would take her seat, so she endured it all the time.

Soya looked over there, then nodded again, "Then hurry up."

"What are you talking about..."

She pinched his arm and stood up.

"Be sure to watch...or I will sit on Sogu's lap later."

"I will definitely watch it."

Kirino Akane left her seat and walked towards the bathroom at the front of the car, Soya moved to her seat, occupying the empty seat that could be seen from the junction of the cars.

Just as her figure disappeared, a voice suddenly came from above her head.

"I want to go to the bathroom too..."

Sogu raised his head slightly, then looked forward again, "Wait for her to come back."

"Oh."

Hongzi responded and stared at his head for a while.Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the two people beside her looking at her, she retracted her outstretched hand, and sat down.

After a while, Akane Kirino came back here, and flicked a little water stain on her fingertips at Soya.

"Soya is keeping my seat."

"Is this how you thank me?"

He turned his head to the side, and he didn't give up his seat to her, "Hongzi is going to the bathroom too, now it's Tongye's turn to guard her seat."

"Hey... okay!"

"I'll be right back……"

Hongzi got up to go to the bathroom, Kirino Akane sat in her seat, and chatted with Asagiri and Kyoko next to her;

When Hongzi came back again, she suddenly proposed to change places with her, and Kirino Qian agreed without hesitation.

"Go in."

"..."

Soya looked at her and moved to the empty seat inside.

"I didn't sit here just to get close to you." Hongzi leaned closer and whispered, "Both Ling and Sugawara-senpai don't like to talk, it's too boring to stay behind."

Soya glanced back, "Isn't it a happy chat now?"

"That's because Akane can talk."

"In other words, Hongzi herself doesn't want to talk to them."

Hongzi rubbed her eyes, "I'm sleepy..."

"whatever."

Soya straightened his body and looked back at Akane Kirino who was smiling.

"If Kirino wants to go out and play when he arrives in Nagasaki in the afternoon, he'd better rest for a while."

"I know."

Glancing at Kyoko, he lowered his head to look at Hongzi who was quietly hugging his arms.

"You too."

"Hmm~"

The Sanyo Shinkansen connects Kyushu and Honshu Island, and the section of the junction between the two islands is not above the ground.

Tsukiyomi woke up again when the train plunged to the bottom of the sea and passed through the undersea tunnel in the Kanmon Strait.

After staring at the tunnel outside for a while, he turned his head.

"Where are we?"

Zonggu raised his eyes, covered his mouth and yawned again.

"seabed."

"Huh."

Stretching his legs and one arm, and stretching his body slightly, he said again: "We have left Honshu Island now."

"Is that so..."

Finding that there was a girl on his other arm, Yueyue didn't say anything, and turned his head to continue staring at the tunnel outside.

In just a moment, the train drove out of the not-so-long undersea tunnel and returned to the ground.

In front of them is a patchwork of urban buildings, and in the distance is the blue sea and blue sky. They have already arrived on another island on the other side of the strait.

The train began to slow down, and a reminder sounded in the carriage.

"Okura Station, here we are—"

Yueyue looked at the passengers on the platform outside, "Are we there yet?"

"There is one last stop."

More than 20 minutes later, the train stopped again, and Soya stood up under his expectant eyes.

"We've arrived in Hakata, let's get off."

Dragging the suitcase and getting off the Shinkansen train, he turned around at Hakata Station, and he turned around and took them on the Kagoshima Main Line and Nagasaki Main Line trams.

"It will take another two hours from here to Nagasaki."

"..."

Yueyue was dumbfounded.

"It takes three to 10 minutes to take a bus from the station over there to the booked homestay... But Mr. Hongo, who runs the homestay, said he would pick us up by car."

"……All right."

Starting from Hakata, crossing Saga and most of Nagasaki, and then boarding the car of the host who came to pick them up, Soya and his party finally arrived at their destination, which is located in the Shimabara Peninsula in the southeast of Nagasaki Prefecture.

Although it is far away from Iki Island, the main destination of this trip, there are many places to go around, so you can pass a lot of time.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, Mount Unzen stands high in the center of the peninsula. It is an active volcano.

After bypassing the volcano, they arrived at the homestay in Shimabara City in the eastern part of the peninsula. When they got off the bus, Tsukiyomi immediately crouched on the side of the road and retched.

He got carsick.

"It's really hard work for you to persist until you get off the car..."

Looking back at Kazuya behind him, Soya patted him on the back again, "Although it's still embarrassing."

"Gods can't get motion sickness... Woohoo!"

After brewing for a long time, the contents of my stomach finally came up.

There was a puddle of strong-smelling residue on the ground.

"...You take care of it yourself."

Turning around and walking into the hotel, Sogu still went to the front desk to ask for a bottle of water for him.

After a tiring journey and the heat of the afternoon, Jingzi was also a little depressed and sat in a corner.

"How is Tsukiyomi-sama?"

"Just a little motion sickness. Other than embarrassment, nothing major."

Looking back at Hongzi and Akane Kirino who were registering information at the front desk, Soya took her hand and squeezed it twice.

"Where's Kyoko?"

She smiled slightly, "I'm fine."

Pulling his hand to stand up, she gently broke away, and then pulled the suitcase back, motioning him to look behind.

Soya turned his head, Hongzi at the front desk looked away, and Akane Kirino was beckoning him over.

"Three rooms, who will Soya live with?"
