Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 29 Shrine Field Service

After all the classes in the afternoon were over, Zhao Wuling and another girl who was on duty stayed to clean the classroom.

After taking out the trash, she met Soya on the way back.

"Thank you. Is it over?"

She nodded.

"Tirino and Yoshikawa are still visiting clubs there to recruit new recruits. Suzu will go back with them later." Soya said, "After shopping around twice, today seems to be the home of sports clubs. I'm not interested."

"Ah."

"Now, I'm going to go to Fuyun Shrine. I don't know when I'll be back. You don't have to wait for me for dinner."

Zhao Wuling thought for a while, "Part-time job?"

"It's okay, I already greeted Mr. Kirino yesterday."

The two separated in the corner of the atrium.

Zhao Wuling returned upstairs with the trash can, and stopped in the corridor again, watching Soya squeeze his way out of the busy atrium, and walked straight out.

Climbing up a hundred steps, Soya once again came to the Fuyun Shrine run by the Sugawara family.

The shrine in the afternoon was not as deserted as yesterday, and there were many worshipers standing scattered in the courtyard and in front of the main hall.On his way up the stairs, at least he met seven or eight people.

It's just that Kyoko Sugawara is not among these people.

Zongya thought about it, washed his hands first, paid homage, lost some money for sesame oil in the Saiqin box, and then went to inquire.

"Excuse me……"

"What's the matter, guest?" The maiden who had never seen her before smiled at him.

"Is Miss Sugawara Kyoko back? I have something to look for her."

"Miss Kyoko... I didn't notice, maybe it's in the social affairs office."

The witch looked at the social affairs office next to her, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Ah, Yuzi."

"That child is Miss Kyoko's younger sister, please go and ask her."

"I see, thanks."

As soon as Sugawara Yuko, who was dressed as a shrine maiden, walked out of the social affairs office, she saw a tall boy in her sister's school uniform walking towards her, and subconsciously froze.

"..."

Are you scared?

Just as Sogu was about to speak, Yuzi also recognized him, "Ah, it's the word from before, Brother Ben."

He smiled.

"Hi, I'm Soya. Is Miss Sugawara back?"

"Did you get into your sister's school?" She was still thinking about his high school entrance exam.

"...Well, more or less."

"It's amazing. My sister is inside, do you want to call her out?"

"Is there something wrong with her?"

Yuzi raised her head with difficulty, "There is something wrong."

"Then I'll wait a little longer."

"Please..."

Unintentionally visiting the shrine, Soya wandered around the shrine, and soon found an asphalt road among the trees.It seems that there is more than one way to go up the mountain, but the entrance is not on the front.

Near the intersection, there was still a white commercial vehicle that he had ridden once before.

"beep--"

After looking at it twice, he was startled by the sudden sound of the horn.Then, the windows of the commercial vehicle fell down.

"Boy, have you chased women to the shrine... Wait, I seem to have seen you."

The miko in the driver's seat frowned, aged between 25 and 30.Soya also has a little impression of her, she should be one of the few people who went to pick up Kyoko Sugawara together last time.

"Are you here to find Kyoko?"

"Yes."

"Let's go back."

"..."

She must have misunderstood something.

"Sister Sugawara asked me to come here." Soya explained.

"Senior sister? You are in the first grade, no wonder you are so ignorant."

The witch continued on, "Quickly confess, and then get hurt quickly, and then tell your classmates: Kyoko Sugawara is not interested in love, don't bother her anymore."

"..."

Soya was dumbfounded.

This misunderstanding is too deep.

But this is not surprising. Sugawara Kyoko has an outstanding appearance, is unsmiling, and always exudes a cold aura that strangers should not get close to. On the contrary, she has a fatal attraction to self-righteous adolescent boys, especially freshmen who have just entered high school...

"Hey."

Soya was distracted when the maiden in the car called him again, "Kyoko is here."

When he turned his head, Sugawara Kyoko and several witches were walking towards this side, and noticed a look of surprise on his back face.

"Songya-san?"

The rest of the maidens got into the car and watched her stand in front of Soya, "Why did you come here so early?"

"It's nothing, time is free."

Soya glanced at the strange faces on the car, "Miss Sugawara-san is going out now?"

"Ah... yes. Sorry, something happened suddenly, so I can't receive Soya-san in person."

Sugawara Kyoko bowed slightly, "If you don't mind, Soya-san can sit in the social affairs office for a while."

"Senior sister wants to get rid of the spirit?" Soya thought of a certain possibility.

"No...but it's about the same."

She explained, "Someone reported a supernatural event near the Chuan Shou Bridge, so you have to go to the scene to see it."

"Do you need so many people?" A commercial vehicle was almost full.

"These are priestesses from Shiramaru Shrine, and they are just dropping by to send them back."

"I see."

"Kyoko."

The miko who served as the driver looked at the two of them, with one arm resting on the window, "Is the confession over? It's getting late."

"..."

Kyoko Sugawara glanced back, then bowed slightly to Soya, "I should go. Soya-san, wait a moment, I will be back in half an hour."

"Is there still room?"

"……what?"

"I said..." Soya pointed to the commercial vehicle behind her, "Is there any space in the vehicle?"

"I'll go with you."

Among the witches in the car, only Kyoko Sugawara and Minami Noma, who was driving, belonged to the Fuyun Shrine, and the rest got off the car at a certain intersection.

Shiramaru Shrine is not big, but the location is good, but the destination of Kyoko's trip is not here.

The commercial vehicle continued to drive forward, and passed four or five traffic lights, and the field of vision suddenly widened, surrounded by large fields.

"Going to the country..."

"What do you say?"

Minami Noma took the steering wheel and glanced at Soya with a smile, "We've always been in the countryside, haven't we?"

"That's right."

"Are you in a hurry, Kawamori Bridge is just ahead."

In order to prevent him from "harassing" the other maidens, especially Kyoko, Soya was assigned to the co-pilot's seat as soon as he got in the car, enjoying the same view as the driver.

"The contact person should be in the village over there." He looked ahead.

"Who knows. Kyoko, tell the client we've arrived."

"Ok."

Kyoko Sugawara, who was sitting in the back, responded and quickly contacted the person who reported the supernatural event.

"Miss Noma, after passing the Kawamori Bridge, please turn right at the second intersection. There are some concrete culvert pipes piled up in front of Ms. Hamaguchi's house."

"okay."

There were no people on the roads in the countryside. Minami Noma kicked the accelerator, and the commercial vehicle sped out, and the distance of less than two kilometers was reached in an instant.

"..."

Holding on to the concrete culvert, Soya slowed down for a while, Minami Noma and Kyoko Sugawara had finished greeting the client.

Ms. Hamaguchi, who is in her 50s, looked at him, "This is..."

Noma Minami patted him on the shoulder, "The children who work part-time at the shrine are not used to riding a car yet."

"...I'm Soya, please give me your advice."

"Please come in."

In the home of the client, Ms. Hamaguchi, there is a room that is vacant all the year round. It is usually used to store clothes, bedding and other things.Occasionally, relatives will stay in this room and rest in this room;
Some time ago, the clothes packed in the room suddenly became a mess, scattered everywhere.

After Ms. Hamaguchi reorganized, this phenomenon repeated several times, with no regularity in time, but not every few days.

After ruling out the possibility of children’s pranks, monkeys and other animals making trouble, and Ms. Hamaguchi messing up while sleepwalking, she regarded this as a supernatural event and reported it to the shrine maiden when she visited the shrine.

"The room is on the second floor."

Soya followed up the stairs and came to the "haunted" room.

Minami Noma opened the sliding door, and he also glanced in, and everything seemed normal.

"The last time was the day before yesterday," said Ms. Hamaguchi.

There was nothing to be seen at the door, Noma Minami said, "Can I go in and have a look?"

"Of course, feel free. I'll make tea."

"You're welcome."

Ms. Hamaguchi went downstairs, Minami Noma and Kyoko entered the room, and Soya was also there.

Although the room is old, it is clean and tidy, and there is no musty smell that old houses often have, which is relatively rare in the humid countryside.

Soya looked at the closet, then looked at the sky outside the window, the twilight was just beginning to emerge.

When he came back to his senses, he noticed that the two witches in the room were looking at him.

"what happened?"

"Did Soya-san see anything?" Kyoko asked.

There are neat clothes in the pull-out closet, and fresh air circulates in the room.

"Hmm... Ms. Hamaguchi is very virtuous."
