Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 265 The Trip to Iki

The distance between Hakata Port and Iki Island is more than 70 kilometers, and it can be reached in about an hour by high-speed passenger ship.

After all, a passenger ship is not a cruise ship. During high-speed driving, passengers can only stay in seats arranged in twos and cannot go out.

"are you OK?"

Soya looked back at Tsukiyomi who was sitting in the back row, "Don't force yourself if you can't sleep."

"..."

Holding the plastic bag in his hand, he closed his eyes tightly, "I'm about to fall asleep, don't talk to me."

Soya smiled and turned back.

Jingzi also looked back at Shenming for a while, but said nothing.

The two rows of seats are respectively against the two sides of the cabin, and there are two floors above and below.Not long after we left Hakata Port, we could only see the vast sea outside, as well as the waves of the passenger ship driving at high speed.

On the line between the sea and the sky, large groups of white clouds float in the sky, layer upon layer, fluttering and changing shapes.

Watching the cloud clusters change from a distance, time also passes by.

Feeling that her eyes were a little dry, Kyoko closed her eyes, then raised her free hand and pinched the corners of her eyes.

"Tired."

"a little……"

"Coming."

When she opened her eyes, she could only see the horizon far ahead, when an island appeared.

"Iki Island..."

"Yeah." Soya also looked over there, "If our ship doesn't lose its way."

Jingzi pursed her lips and smiled, then moved the hand that he had held all the way, and leaned closer.

"Today's time is spent on the road."

"Isn't it? It takes seven or eight hours to go back and forth."

She lowered her head, her eyes fell on each other's hands, and her voice was lower.

"It doesn't matter how long it takes."

Looking at her profile, Soya said, "After going to the shrine, let's go around the island as well."

"Yoshikawa-san and the others are still waiting."

"They're not just waiting. There are many places to visit in Hirado and Sasebo, and they may have forgotten about us."

After a moment of silence, Kyoko nodded.

"Then take the last boat back."

"Is it the one after four o'clock in the afternoon?"

"Hmm. Can I?"

"of course."

Soya squeezed her hand, "Back to Nagasaki, I can go to Mount Inasa to see the night view."

Kyoko nodded and said nothing, closed her eyes and leaned against him, greedily taking advantage of the last bit of time before landing on the island to rest.

After a while, the speed of the fast-moving passenger ship slowed down, and it docked at Ashbee Port on Iki Island.

"We have arrived."

As one of the first "Dayachi Islands" born in the creation myth, there are countless legends circulating on Iki Island.Correspondingly, there are many shrines on the island, with more than 150 shrines.

The main shrine of Tsukiyomi Shrine is one of the larger shrines.

"The website says that it takes only about 10 minutes by car from Ashbee Port to Tsukiyomi Shrine."

Standing at the port, Soya compared the online map with the real scene in front of him, pointed to the intersection on the right, "go this way."

"Walking over?" Yuedu asked, "It takes 10 minutes to drive, and it will take at least an hour to walk there."

This is indeed a problem. The traffic on the island is not convenient. If you don't know how to drive, it will be troublesome to go anywhere.

Soya looked left and right, but couldn't find a taxi waiting near the port, instead he saw a few fellow travelers who came by boat together, passing by them on electric bicycles.

"It seems that electric bicycles can be rented."

I looked in the direction they came from, and there was indeed a place to rent electric bicycles.

When the staff asked how many cars to rent, Soya looked at Tsukiyomi.

"will not."

He sighed, "Two."

Although he originally planned to rent two cars, he wasn't the one who wanted to take them with him.

When Tsukiyomi sat on the back seat of Soya's automatic bicycle, a little regret flashed across Kyoko's face, as she was disappointed by her own god's failure for a long time.

"Tsukiyomi-sama, can you learn to ride a bicycle before we leave the island?"

"...you're kidding."

Zongya also looked back at him, "I figured out the new computer in a day."

"Can that compare?"

"So, it's just a matter of Tsukiyomi-sama's attitude." Kyoko said again.

"It's more convenient to help me run errands after learning to ride a bicycle," Soya added.

"..."

In the end, Yuedu reluctantly dismissed the two of them on the pretext that the rented car broke down and that it would be inconvenient to practice.

Riding on the electric bicycle, Soya who had written down the map led the way, and Kyoko followed at the same speed. After more than 20 minutes, the three arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Tsukiyomi Shrine is located.

Parked the car on the side of the road and walked for a while, a concrete torii gate appeared in front of them.

Judging from the words engraved on the stone pillar, this is the torii gate rebuilt in the fourth year of Taisho.

After the torii is a steep stone-step approach, Temizuya is next to one of the platforms, and when you climb up the stairs, you will find the main hall of Tsukiyomi Shrine in front of you.

Green pines lined the road, the three of them climbed up the stairs, Soya and Kyoko stopped at Semizu House, Tsukiyomi just took a look.

After the two of them also boarded the steps, he walked to the main hall where he was enshrined.

"How is it?" Soya asked.

Tsukiyomi looked at the statue inside, "There is quite a lot of power of faith attached here... although it is not as good as that of Ise Shrine."

"That month's adult, you can absorb it with peace of mind. Jingzi and I will wait for you outside."

After visiting the shrine, Soya and Kyoko withdrew and read Tsukuyomi for a while.

"It seems that it will take some time."

"Ah."

He took her hand, "Let's take a look at the shrine."

"it is good."

The shrine is surrounded by towering trees, and the area above the stone steps is actually not that big. There is a main hall, a small shrine office, and a place where souvenirs such as royal guards are sold, that's all.

After walking around the shrine, Soya stopped in front of a variety of gomori shelves.

"It's quite exquisite."

Jingzi nodded, "Better than us."

He smiled, and then picked up the shelves.

Mimori, Marriage Mori, Fushou Mori, Health Mori, Lucky Mori... Each Mori was [-] yen, and Soya handed out a [-]-yuan bill and only got back [-] yen.

Holding a large handful of various omamori, he grabbed Jingzi's hand again and stuffed them all to her.

"These are all prayers for Kyoko."

"..."

Although she already had a premonition, she still laughed, pinched the guard in her hand, and nodded again.

"Thank you."

After the visit was over and the monthly reading was not over, Soya and Kyoko sat down on the unoccupied stone steps.

I have been running around all morning, the time has come to noon, and the sun is scorching.

Sitting in the shade, the sun shines through the gaps in the pine leaves, spreading mottled all over the ground, shaking with the wind like waves.

"When Tsukiyomi-sama finishes absorbing the power of faith, I have to absorb some food." Soya said.

Kyoko smiled, folded her hands in front of her knees, "Yeah."

After staring at the deserted road below for a while, he slowly lay down on his back, with his head resting on the stone steps.

The branches swayed and the leaves swayed, and the light streamed in the dark, he narrowed his eyes.

"..."

A love achievement, Mamoru, appeared in front of his eyes.

"It can be regarded as making the best use of everything..."

He groped, and she put her hand in his.

After a slight rustling sound, a touch of warmth covered his lips.

After more than 20 minutes, Yuedu finished absorbing the power of faith on the statue and slowly opened his eyes.

"So hungry."

Glancing at his idol again, he turned and left, and saw Soya lying down and Kyoko sitting beside him on the steps.

The hands of the two were clasped together.

"Master Yueyue."

Kyoko quickly noticed him, Soya also sat up, "It's over?"

"Ah."

"How about it?"

"It's not bad." Yuedu walked down, "The range that can be sensed has been enlarged again."

"that would be great."

Soya got up, and pulled Kyoko up, "First check where there is a place to eat nearby."

"..."

Yuedu was silent for a while, and then did as he did.

"Over there." He raised his finger and pointed in one direction, swallowing unconsciously, "There is a roast meat shop."

"Is it far?"

"It's about the same distance as we came here."

"That's not too far..."

Soya dragged Kyoko down, "Let's go there."

"Ah."

Riding on the electric bicycle, Yuedu acts as a navigator at the back, guiding the direction.

After a while, the three of them entered the urban area of ​​Iki, and under the guidance of the navigation, they came to a street full of wooden houses.

"Authentic Iki Wagyu."

Glancing at the signboard at the entrance of the store, Soya walked into the store, followed by Kyoko and Tsukiyomi.

"I'm so hungry... I want some more beef." Yuedu said.

Soya just glanced at him, "Just order."

"So polite today?"

Yuedu was surprised, and glanced at the price again, "It's still such an expensive beef."

He pursed his lower lip and looked at Kyoko next to him.

"I'm happy."
