Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 266 Mountain Bay
After feasting on the fat Iki Wagyu, the three of Soya continued to wander around the island in the afternoon. The means of transportation was still the electric bicycle rented from Ashbee Port.

Although there is no need to worry about running out of battery, time and physical strength are relatively limited, and they can't ride too far. The three of them just wandered around Beidao.

Soya was carrying Tsukiyomi, who was full of food, and Kyoko followed. After riding for a while, they came to a shrine again.

"Nanyake Shrine."

After walking a few steps, Tsukiyomi looked up at the forehead beam in the center of the torii gate.

"Is there anything special here?"

"Just wandering around."

Soya looked back at him, "However, according to local myths and legends, this mountain is the place where the gods first descended after the birth of Iki Island."

"yes."

Yuedu looked around, but didn't see anything unusual about the green hills in front of him, "Which god has descended? My father, or...that one?"

"Takako of Yue." Kyoko said, "that is, Tsukiyomi-sama."

"..."

He froze for a moment, "Nonsense, I've never been here before."

Kyoko smiled and didn't say much.

"Is my god enshrined here, why don't I feel anything?"

"No." Soya shook his head, "The god enshrined here is Sarutahiko."

"……monkey?"

"Ah."

There are three stone monkeys at the gate of the shrine, with lifelike expressions, and they are named "Sanbu Monkey".

One is blindfolded, the other is covering the ears, and the other is covering the mouth, which means "not seeing, not hearing, not speaking".

Walking into the shrine, there are large and small stone monkeys everywhere in the courtyard, with different postures, and the number is more than two hundred;

In addition to stone monkeys, there are more than 30 stone cows in the shrine, all donated by nearby residents, with the purpose of praying for more breeding of cows.

"Because this is Nanyue Mountain, only men were allowed to enter in the past."

Soya held the travel guide that he got at the restaurant in his hand, "Corresponding to it, there is a Mt. Nyotake nearby, and there is also a Nyotake Shrine on it."

"Who is enshrined?" Yuedu asked.

"Tiantian girl," he replied, "later she married Saruta Hiko, who was enshrined here. Therefore, there is also a saying that after visiting the Nanyake Shrine and the Nyake Shrine, you can get a good relationship."

"What about me?" Yuedu asked again.

"what?"

"I just stumbled here, there is nothing else to say?"

"Otherwise, I would have set up a Tsukiyomi Shrine for you nearby."

Soya glanced at him, then dragged Kyoko to continue walking into the shrine.

After visiting the Nanyue Shrine, the three of them went to worship on the female mountain across a reservoir, and then climbed to the highest observatory, overlooking the surrounding green mountains and green waters.

"There is not much time left."

Looking at the jasper-like forest reservoir below, Kyoko looked at Soya again, "Where are we going next?"

"Is Kyoko interested in dolphins?" He flipped through the travel guide in his hand, "There is a dolphin park in the north of Iki Island, and it's not too far from here."

"—dolphins? I want to see."

"..."

The two looked back at Yueyue who suddenly spoke, and looked at each other again.

"Then go and have a look." Kyoko said.

"it is good."

After descending the mountain, the three of them rode or sat on electric bicycles and rode towards a certain bay on the north side of Iki Island.

Perhaps it was because he had been carrying Yuedu all the time, but halfway through, Soya's car ran out of battery.

"The battery is out, can Master Yuedu follow the car and run there?"

"No, no, no..."

Fortunately, the road is flat and open, and there is no slope. Even with people, it is not difficult to ride.Although the speed has slowed down, at least it is much faster than walking.

Kyoko also slowed down to follow.

It took a little longer than expected to arrive at the Iki Dolphin Park a few kilometers away.

When parking, Soya noticed that there was also a shop for renting electric bicycles near the park.I asked in the past, and sure enough, I can change cars here.

"Now you don't need to ride back to the port... Jingzi should also change to a car with more power."

"Ah."

When the two changed vehicles, Yuedu didn't go in, but waited at the gate of the Dolphin Park.

Soya found out in the past that it was because a ticket of [-] yen was required to enter the park.

"I don't have any money with me." He said confidently.

"..."

The three entered the park and bought a few bottles of drinks from the vending machine in the park to quench their thirst.

Dolphin Park is surrounded by mountains and sea, and its area is not small.

At the foot of the mountain is a grassland with a lifelike dolphin statue in the middle.There are some amusement facilities such as slides and swings next to it, and there are many children playing at this time;
The natural pool connected to the bay, with rippling blue waves, is a place for dolphins to move about.

Looking at the sky, Soya walked towards the bay.

"Let's go see the dolphins first."

Coming out of the Dolphin Park, Jingzi and Yueyue each held a few dolphin pendants, ornaments and other souvenirs in their hands.

Soya was no exception. There was a little blue dolphin hanging on his mobile phone, which was Kyoko's return gift.

With the sea breeze blowing, he rode on the electric bicycle, and Tsukiyomi immediately sat in the back seat and looked at Jingzi together.

"Let's go back."

"it is good."

After climbing the male and female mountains, feeding the dolphins by the pool in the bay, and swimming for most of the afternoon, the sun has moved to the western sky and is slowly sinking.

Although the meaning is still unfinished and the sky is still early, they can't stay for long.

When they were still in Hakata Port, Soya saw on the flight schedule that the last passenger ship from Ashbee Port back to Hakata Port was after four o’clock. If it was delayed, they would have to spend the night on Iki Island tonight;
It was only when he rode all the way to the port and went to buy a boat ticket that he noticed that Hakata Port was not the only option to return to Honshu Island.

"Can I still go to Karatsu Port in Saga?"

Not to mention the shorter distance from Iki to Karatsu Port, it is also a lot closer from Saga to Nagasaki.

"Let's go back from Karatsu Port."

Kyoko nodded, no objection.

After buying a ticket, the departure time of this passenger ship is also a little earlier.The three ate something at the port, and then boarded the boat.

Although it was Soya who rode the bicycle back and forth, Tsukiyomi and the dolphins also had a good time, and fell asleep soon after boarding the boat.

The young male passenger on his shoulders sat upright, but his eyes glanced to the side from time to time, quietly looking at the Sleeping Beauty on his shoulders.

Zongya wanted to remind him not to have any expectations, but he didn't know how to speak.

The return trip was long, and he didn't want to make the atmosphere awkward. Anyway, Yue Duan wouldn't wake up when he got off the boat, so he didn't say anything at all.

With its back against the setting sun, the high-speed passenger ship braved the wind and waves, heading for Karatsu Port in Saga.

After watching the sea outside the window for a while, Jingzi slowly leaned forward.

When her eyes fell on his mobile phone, she first looked away quickly, and then looked back.

"Dangjin..."

"Ah."

Soya browsed the map, "I haven't been to Karatsu, and it's not on the planned route. I have to see how to get back after landing."

"Taking this route seems to save a lot of time."

"..."

He sighed.

"Before I set off, I checked the shortest route from Kyoto to Iki Island. Because I came from Honshu Island, the result I got was the route 'Hakata-Iki Island'. As a result, Kirino and Hongko chose an island The homestay on the original peninsula... When I re-planned the route, I only remembered Hakata Port."

Kyoko smiled, nodded again, and continued watching.

Soya raised his arm, she glanced at him, and then inserted her arm in.

The route back is not complicated, just arrive at Karatsu Port, take a bus and catch a tram at a certain station.

buzz-

Hongzi: Have you not come back yet?
"..."

Kyoko immediately closed her eyes and turned her head obviously, not wanting him to misunderstand.

Soya: Already on the return passenger ship.

Hongzi: [Good! ]
Hongzi: I want to see you as soon as possible.

Soya: Where are you guys?

Hongzi quickly sent a location.

Hongzi: But Qian still wants to visit Chinatown and Confucius Temple.

Soya: Then I will contact you when I return to Nagasaki.

After pressing the screen off, Hongzi let out a long breath.

"I hate it, can't we talk a little more..."

"what?"

Akane Kirino, who was walking beside her, turned her head to look at her, and also looked at Wuling.

"No, it's nothing... Soya said he's already on his way back."

"Are you only coming back now?"

Akane Kirino looked at the time, "It's been a long time."

"And they're still at sea."

"Wow...then when will I be able to come back?"

buzz-

Hongzi: I see.

Soya put away the phone, and looked at Kyoko, who was leaning on her arm with her arms crossed.

"Hongzi said they were near Nagasaki Port."

She turned her head back and tightened her arms.

"Ah."
