Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 264 The Trip to Iki

As the moon sets and the sun rises, the morning light enters the window, gradually brightening the dark room.

Waking up from the bed, looking at the ceiling and left and right, Soya was still a little unaccustomed to such a height.

"...It turns out that I haven't slept in bed for a long time."

The last time he slept on the bed seemed to be when the evil spirit that killed the Kinki area, Tsukuyomi, was resting on the bed in Kyoko's room at Fuyun Shrine.

Turning his head to look at the god who was sleeping soundly on the bed next to him, Soya picked up his phone and took another look.

"Oops...it's almost eight o'clock."

It was only after turning over and getting out of bed that he suddenly remembered that he didn't need to prepare breakfast by himself today.

But it was almost time for the hotel's breakfast, so he didn't lie down again.

After washing, Soya knocked on the doors of Kirino Akane and Kyoko's rooms respectively, reminding them to get up.

Go back to the room to wake up Tsukiyomi, and when she came out again, Kyoko was already standing outside the door.

Apparently, she also got up early.

"Good morning."

"Good morning...Student Fangming."

Hearing this intimate and polite address, Soya smiled, "I've never been called that before, I'm not used to it."

Jingzi looked to the side, "I can change it back to the original name."

"No, I get used to removing the honorific title."

"I won't be used to it."

Sogu took her hand, "Do you have to add an honorific title?"

"..."

Jingzi struggled lightly, then stopped when he was about to leave, "Definitely."

"Then let's do it in the way Kyoko is used to."

"Ah."

The sunlight illuminated the entrance of the corridor. In the quiet morning, except for the two of them getting up, the other people in the room remained quiet.

Looking back, Yueyue just turned over.

"Is the bell ringing?"

Jingzi shook her head, "Just woke up."

Soya paused, "Are you wearing clothes?"

"……No."

"I'll call her."

Kyoko pulled him back.

"I go."

"Ms. Hongo, we will be back late tonight, so there is no need to prepare our dinner."

"Okay, please enjoy the beautiful night view of Nagasaki Port."

After breakfast, Ms. Hongo stood outside the yard and sent a few people out.

"Be careful on the road."

Leaving the hotel, he walked all the way to the embankment by the sea, and when he reached the unmanned station, Soya looked at the timetable.

"There are still a few minutes... Fortunately, I didn't miss it, otherwise I would have to wait for an hour."

A few minutes later, a one-car tram came up from the south.

There were still many vacant seats in the car, and when several people sat together, Akane Kirino looked around.

"Get on in the middle and get off in the front. It's more like a bus than a tram. A bus that runs on rails."

"So Mr. Hongo and Ms. Hongo are both called 'Rail Bus'."

The railway bus quickly restarted and headed north along the railway track by the sea.

Outside the car window was the rough sea, Soya kept looking at it, when the girl next to her suddenly leaned on her arms.

"..."

Turning his head to look at Zhao Wuling with his eyes closed, he held her hand and continued to look outside.

"Dasan East Station, it's here—"

Stop and go, not long after, the railway bus stopped at a platform covered with yellow handkerchiefs.

According to Akane Kirino, the vending machines at the station offer a gashapon filled with blank yellow handkerchiefs.After writing down your wish, you can hang it on the wishing platform on the platform.

"Goodbye~"

The tram won't stop for too long, so she pulled Hongzi out of the car, and Zhao Wuling was with them.

They will play here for a while, and take the next train an hour later to the Hirado and Sasebo areas of Nagasaki, while Soya and the three continue north.

"Come back soon."

"Well, I'll be back when I'm done with the work over there."

Soya waved to the three people on the platform, "The time and place to meet, we will decide when we come back."

"Uh-huh."

Akane Kirino nodded, and Hongzi next to him covered her mouth and yawned, keeping her eyes on him, and suddenly and secretly blew a kiss when the car door was about to close.

"..."

Soya smiled.

The tram started again, and the three people on the platform gradually moved away, and he sat in the empty seat next to Kyoko.

Tsukiyomi at the back raised his head, opened his mouth slightly, and looked like he didn't get enough sleep, causing other passengers to watch him frequently.

"She's obviously a beauty..."

"It's not very elegant."

Along the railway tracks laid around the island, the tram circled a large circle on the east and north sides of the Shimabara Peninsula, and finally sent the three of them to Isahaya at the entrance of the peninsula;
Then transfer to the tram on the Nagasaki Main Line and go around. After more than two hours, they returned to Hakata, Fukuoka, where they just came yesterday.

After waking Tsukiyomi who was about to fall asleep, the three of them took a bus to Hakata Port.

The sea breeze blows in the port, and flocks of white seagulls glide against the wind, flapping their wings from time to time.

The three of Soya were sitting in a shady place on the pier, drinking cold drinks while waiting for the next high-speed passenger ship to Iki Island.

In mythology, Iki Island is one of the first "big eight islands". In fact, among the dotted islands in the waters around Kyushu, it is also considered to be the larger type;
Humans have settled on the island for a long time, and it was part of the Yamatai Kingdom in ancient times, leaving quite a few historic sites, Tsukuyomi Shrine is one of them.

"...A man named Oshimi Suya diverted the power of the Tsukiyomi Shrine on Iki Island to Kyoto, which is the Tsukiyomi Shrine in the territory of Matsuo Taisha.

Thanks to this gift, Shinto was also widely spread in the central region of ancient Japan.

Therefore, many people now believe that Iki Island is the birthplace of Shintoism in Japan. "

Kyoko told the history of Iki Island and Tsukiyomi Shrine, her long hair fluttering in the sea breeze.

Her dress today is simpler, a white dress with almost no embellishments, and the big-brimmed hat with a bow that she wore yesterday, that's all;

The dress was just above the knees, fluttering in the sea breeze, the lower legs were smooth and well-proportioned, and the covered parts would occasionally be revealed briefly.

And what is looming is the most difficult thing to look away.

A finger stretched out, lifted Soya's chin, and made him look up.

Jingzi looked at him helplessly, "Student Fangming, are you listening... Where are you looking?"

"Kyoko's legs."

"..."

Another gust of wind blew, and she held down the fluttering skirt.

Soya smiled and raised his eyes again, "Sorry, what did Kyoko say just now?"

"I said, the ship's almost here. It's about time we got over."

"it is good."

Leaving the shade under the umbrella, the strong sunlight directly shines down, and because of the wind, it is not too hot.

After walking a few steps, Soya looked back at Tsukuyomi, who was not energetic, and urged him to follow quickly.

"It's so hot..."

"It's not hot when you get on the boat."

First go to the boarding window to stamp the ticket, and when you arrive at the pier, the small passenger ships on the upper and lower floors have already docked, but boarding is not yet open.

The frequency of passenger ships between Hakata Port and Iki Island is adjusted according to the season. On average, there are four to six flights per day;
There are two ports for entering and leaving Iki Island: Gonoura Port and Ashbee Port, and judging from the ferry ticket Soya got, they will enter the island from Ashbee Port.

The waves slapped against the pier, making noise, and the passenger ship shook slightly.

After waiting for a while, the people in front began to board the boat, and the three of Soya followed the team forward.

"Mom, I seem to be getting seasick..."

"Not on board yet."

"I feel dizzy just looking at the waves..."

"Sleep on board."

The conversation between the mother and daughter in the front drifted to the back with the sea breeze.

Soya looked back at Yueyue thoughtfully.

"Are you seasick?"

He was stunned, "Would you get dizzy when you take a boat?"

Thinking of his appearance yesterday, Soya could only shake his head.

"After getting on the boat, you should sleep too."

"I'm full of sleep..."

"Then it will be better for you."

The line is shortening and it will be their turn soon.

After checking the tickets, the three boarded the ship smoothly.Before departure, Soya asked the crew for some bags, and then gave them to Tsukiyomi.

"If you can't hold it anymore, use this."

A moment later, with a long siren, the passenger ship left the pier and sailed into the vast sea.
