Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 261 Dog and Carp

Walking to the city center, there are still not many people in sight.

The streets and alleys of the coastal town are crisscrossed, empty and clean as if the tide has just ebbed.The sun is shining, the wind is blowing from the sea, and cicadas are singing everywhere in summer.

The long skirt fluttered with the wind, and Kyoko pressed the big-brimmed hat on her head, looked at Soya beside her, and then looked forward.

On the right hand side of the street is the parking lot, and directly opposite the exit of the parking lot is an ordinary mottled wall.There were several sets of three-hole square holes on the wall, and Akane Kirino was squatting in front of one of the holes and peeping.

"Ah, I see..."

She moved to another hole next to it, and greeted the inside.

"Kotaro... No, the one with the red collar is Mametaro...Mametaro, come here~"

"Hey, did you admit it wrong... Fukutaro?"

"Or Kotaro?"

After reporting the three names in turn, there was still no movement inside.

Akane Kirino stared eagerly at the entrance of the cave for a while, then suddenly stretched her arm in.

"Tirino." Zongya couldn't help reminding, "It's fine if you don't come out."

"But……"

She looked over, "I read in the strategy guide that you can just say hello at the entrance of the cave and come out."

"It will be tiring if you are more casual. Today is their rest day."

"You are talking nonsense..."

Kirino Akane smiled and called him over again.

"Let's try it, Soya."

Hongzi and Chao Wuling stood in front of another group of holes next to it. A sign was pasted above the hole, introducing the names of the three Shiba Inu in the form of pictures, and reminding tourists not to feed them. .

Walking to Akane Kirino, Soya squatted down and glanced inside.

The shadows of the trees are mottled, and the round Shiba Inu is lying in the shade where the sun can't shine, with his eyes half-opened and half-closed, looking at the snoopers here, showing no intention of coming over.

Next to it lay another Shiba Inu, with only half of its butt exposed.

The Shiba Inu seems to look the same, if the Alps are mixed in, Hongzi probably won't be able to recognize it...

Sogu thought to himself, and said, "Isn't this resting?"

"Eyes are open."

"Yuezi can sleep with her eyes open."

"..."

Akane Kirino was stunned for a while, "How can confinement compare with a dog."

"...Yes, the dog is much more diligent than him."

Soya looked inside, the Shiba Inu was lying on the ground, but he couldn't see what color the collar was, so he simply whistled.

The Shiba Inu moved its ears, stood up again, shook its body, and trotted to the entrance of the cave.

"Wow……"

Kirino Akane glanced at him in surprise, "Soya is amazing!"

"It was just a whistle."

The opening of the hole is so narrow that the Shiba Inu can only poke out its head slightly, exposing one ear.

She slowly stretched out her hand and stroked the Shiba Inu's head tentatively. Seeing that it squinted its eyes and enjoyed it, she touched it with confidence.

"So cute……"

After touching it for a while, Akane Kirino handed the phone to Soya and asked him to take a photo of herself.

Click!

After taking the photo, Soya looked to the side, and Hongzi was also looking at him.

He pointed to the outcropping Shiba Inu, and she came over and petted with Akane Kirino.

"Don't be so sullen, just smile."

She looked at him and the camera, "What are you laughing at?"

"It looks better when you smile."

"..."

Click!

"Such a happy look, this photo must be shown to Alps."

Hongzi glared at him with a smile on his face.

"Baka."

Asagiri and Kyoko also came over to pet the Shiba Inu, but they were not interested in the group photo, so Soya returned the phone to Akane Kirino.

The other two Shiba Inu also showed up one after another, but they didn't get out of their heads, they just looked at them from inside.

After staying here for a while, Akane Kirino finally had enough fun and got up to go to the next place.

"Let's go to Liyu Street."

"Ah."

Shimabara is a small place, and Liyu Street is in a nearby alley, only two or three hundred meters away.Looking at Shimabara Castle, which is much higher than the surrounding buildings, it takes a short walk to arrive.

It is said to be Liyu Street, but it is actually just an ordinary street.

There is a ditch on the side of the road, with scattered rocks, clear and shallow water, and colorful koi swimming in it.Carps, big and small, floated up and down in the narrow ditches along the clear springs gushing out of the ground.

After arriving in Shimabara for half a day, Soya only saw a little more people here, strolling along the side of the canal, feeding the carp with bread crumbs and the like.

wow-

"oops."

Akane Kirino squatted by the water, dazed for a moment, while the red and white koi swung its tail in the water and quickly swam forward.

The canal is extremely shallow, no more than an arm's depth. The stone slabs connect the road and the nearby houses, and the canal and carp also appear and disappear from time to time.

"The water is so cold..."

"After all, it is an underground spring."

"Is there any foot bath here? It must be very comfortable to soak in."

"I don't know, let's look ahead."

Continue along the street, and in front of you is a sightseeing center called Qingliu Pavilion.

The ditches flowed to this point, converging into a pond, with more carp in it, and its size was astonishingly large.Between the canal and the pond, there is a slowly rotating waterwheel.

Walking on the wooden bridge, Akane Kirino lay on the guardrail, watching the carp gathering in the pond.

"They all swam over."

"I probably thought you were going to be fed."

"Sorry~"

She opened her bare hands and waved at the gathered fish, "I don't have anything."

Soya looked around, and the visitor center next to him sold souvenirs, as well as special food for feeding carp.

"I'm going to get some bread crumbs."

"Okay."

He walked over, and Hongzi followed.

Jingzi just glanced at it, then continued to watch the koi.

Entering the Qingliu Pavilion, there is a large transparent glass in the middle of the ground, and the pool below is connected to the outside, and red and white carp can also be seen swimming back and forth.

"Please keep your change."

Soya bought two bags of bread crumbs, and handed one of them to Hong Zi who followed.

"I'm not a carp, a bag of bread crumbs can't handle me."

"Then you pay me back."

She ignored it, staring at his face with blazing eyes behind the lens, "Songya is really cunning."

"what?"

"Tomorrow's arrangement."

"..."

Soya didn't speak, but squeezed the bag in his hand.

"Give Akane only the two options of 'stay at the hotel' or 'go to Sasebo first', and she can't react to the option of going to Iki Island with Soya." Hongzi continued.

He didn't deny it either, and turned and walked out.

"I also said that it is more troublesome to go to Iki Island. It takes an hour just by boat... and what we have to do has nothing to do with you, so there is no need to follow me."

"It's all excuses."

She followed up and poked his lower back, "Soya just wants to be alone with Sugawara-senpai."

"Isn't there still confinement?"

"Besides eating and sleeping, Yuezi is just in a daze, so he doesn't care what Soya and senior sister are doing."

Sogu turned his head to look at her, a little helpless, "I wouldn't do anything in the first place."

"Then take Qian and me."

He took a deep breath, and Hongzi said again: "Maybe Sogu will go out with me alone tonight, and I won't remind Akane."

"Alone... I can come out, is Hong Zi okay?"

"Don't worry about it, I have a solution."

Soya looked at her for a while longer.

"What are you doing out?"

"Just wandering around."

"OK then."

Back on the wooden bridge by the pond, Hongzi took the bread crumbs and fed Akane Kirino together.Soya opened the bag and grabbed a handful for Kyoko and Asagiri respectively.

"A lot..." Kyoko caught it carefully.

Soya sprinkled a small handful, and a small half of the carp gathered in front of Akane Kirino and Hongzi were attracted to them.

Around the pond, there are tourists feeding fish everywhere.

"No wonder the carp here is bigger than the other..."

Leaving Qingliu Pavilion, Akane Kirino still had half a bag of bread crumbs in her hand, and she was throwing them in the ditch by the roadside as she walked.

There is a water spring garden in front of the path, which is the last place they will go here.

"Here we are, this is Siming Village."

Walking into the small courtyard by the side of the road, there is a stone path in front of you, with green plants on both sides clinging to bamboo and wood fences, and inside is a shallow pond that can't reach your calf.

After paying the entrance fee, we walked into a wooden house that looked like a tea court. The owner of Simingzhuang was an elderly lady.

Leading them into the hall, she gave each of them a bowl of tea and a postcard from Simingzhuang.

At this moment, there was no one else around, Sogu walked to the edge and sat on the edge with his legs hanging down, under which was a pond that could be seen to the bottom.

Spring water gushes out continuously from the gaps in the stones, and in the huge pond, only a few koi gather in the corner.Seeing the slender body of the fish, Soya guessed that feeding is not allowed here, so he asked Akane Kirino to put away the bread crumbs.

Hongzi lay down on his back, and Kyoko sat down beside him, her bare feet hanging above the water.

"Let's go after drinking tea."
