Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 30 Shrine Field Service

The three people in the room are all psychics, but Soya wears an amulet that suppresses psychic perception. Sugawara Kyoko and Noma Minami didn't see anything, so naturally he was the same.

"Could it be that you really came here because of Jingzi?"

"..."

Soya ignored Noma Minami's ridicule, he wanted to know how the people sent by the shrine would respond in this situation.

Neither of them disappointed him.

"Look carefully."

"Ah."

"I didn't say you."

"..."

Minami Noma took out a white talisman from his pocket, and told Kyoko, "Pay attention to the area around the closet."

"I see."

The talisman was held between her fingers, and she stared at it intently.

"now!"

There was no flame - Soya couldn't see it - and the talisman shrank rapidly in her hands, turning into a heap of ashes.

Kyoko stared at the ground around the closet, her eyes wandering.After the talisman was completely turned into ashes, she shook her head at Minami Noma.

"The imprint is very faint, and there is no movement."

"After all, the last time the incident happened was the day before yesterday... But at least it's definitely a spirit body."

Noma Minami subconsciously prepared to blow away the ashes from his palms, lifted them up in one breath, and noticed Kyoko's gaze again.

"Yes Yes……"

She walked to the window, "Huh—"

"..."

After all, it was just a ball of paper ashes that would disperse when blown, Sugawara Kyoko hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.

Noma Minami looked at Soya, "Did you see it?"

"I can't see."

"No, I'm talking about Kyoko."

"..."

"It's tough, isn't it?"

She took his shoulder, "It's very hard to find such a girl as a girlfriend."

"You reminded me." Sogu didn't really want to talk to this familiar elder sister.

"Hahaha--"

Minami Noma laughed twice before stopping abruptly.

"Is there any result?" Ms. Hamaguchi appeared at the door of the room with several cups of tea.

"Ah, well, it takes a little more time."

"Ok."

After putting the tea on the table, she left the room again.

"What are you going to do next?" Soya asked.

"Keep looking."

"How to find it?"

Minami Noma took a sip of tea, and took out a stack of talisman papers from the shrine maiden uniform.

"While burning, look for it. Since you are an 'invisible' person, you should be responsible for cleaning up the ashes."

Soya glanced at Kyoko, it seemed that she hadn't told anyone that he was a psychic.

Noma Minami misunderstood what he meant, "Do you want to follow Kyoko? Yes, I'll leave the outside to you. I'll look for it in the house."

Jingzi didn't say anything, and went out with the talisman paper.

Soya took a sip from the pottery teacup and followed.

Coming outside the house, Jingzi looked around, walked to the nearest intersection, and picked up the talisman paper.

"now!"

The talisman turned to ashes, and she did not see any traces of spirit activity around her.

"..."

Seeing Soya stretching out her palm and waiting, she gave a rare smile.

"It's just ordinary paper ashes."

Jingzi sprinkled the paper ashes on the roots of the small trees by the side of the road, picked up another talisman paper, and continued to search.

Zongya also almost understood the plan of the two of them: use this kind of talisman paper that can show the traces of the spirit body's activities, follow the clues, find the spirit body and solve the problem.

It's just that it seems to have little effect so far, and the workload is not small.

"Half an hour may not be enough."

Jingzi opened her mouth, this is the time she explained to him before leaving.

"Sorry, I'm afraid I'll have to delay some time today. If Soya-san wants to go back, I'll ask Miss Noma to drive you."

"No, I think it's too inefficient."

She looked back at him, "Does Soya have a better way?"

Soya asked back: "If Miss Sugawara found that spirit body, what would she do?"

"Make it stop this behavior."

"How to do it?"

Kyoko Sugawara pinched the talisman paper, "Ask why it did this, and advise it."

"It's just a prank to mess up other people's hard-working clothes," Soya said.

"Then warn it not to do this kind of thing again."

"Warning?"

"When necessary, I will make appropriate threats." Jingzi looked at him, "The last resort is expulsion."

Although it is often harassed, it does not attack ordinary people after all. If it does not cross this line, it is not considered an evil spirit. Expulsion is the highest punishment.

"Then skip the previous stage."

"what……"

Sogu looked around and picked up a bare thin bamboo, which was probably used to build a support for the melon and fruit vines to climb.

"Leave a warning message directly. If it doesn't work, come and expel it."

"..."

Although it was straightforward, considering that the haunting spirit was just playing a prank, even if she found it now, the action she would take would still be a warning, Kyoko quickly agreed to his suggestion.

The new problem is how to leave a warning.

"use this."

Soya handed the bamboo over, and pointed to the open space in front of Ms. Hamaguchi's house.

"Let's be blunt: 'If you harass me again, I'll kill you'."

"..."

Kyoko took the bamboo and walked to the front door of the house under Ms. Hamaguchi's curious eyes, but hesitated a little.

"It's not a face-to-face warning, will it be useful?"

"It will work. After all..."

"—After all, the other party is just a coward who has turned into a spirit body and only dares to bully middle-aged and elderly women who live alone."

The two raised their heads, Noma Minami leaned out half of his body from the window on the second floor, holding a teacup in his hand.

"It's true that there have been no reports of other supernatural events nearby, and the mind is very active."

Soya smiled.

"Let's do it like this, Kyoko. At worst, come back in a few days."

"I see."

She gripped the bamboo tightly, leaving words of warning on the dirt floor.

"that……"

Ms. Hamaguchi, who had been watching for a while, came out of the room.

"Does this really work?"

Minami Noma, who had already gone downstairs, handed her a note.

"This is my contact information. If it doesn't work, please ask Ms. Hamaguchi to contact me directly. Although it may take a few more days, we will definitely solve the problem for you."

"Really? Thanks."

This kind of guarantee reassured her a lot, but the writing on the ground still made her a little concerned, or rather troubled.

"These words..."

"Ah, don't worry, this is only for the harasser."

Minami Noma said, hooking his fingers at Soya, "It's time for you to move."

"Miss Noma herself is just drinking tea."

"This kind of thing can only be entrusted to you. Don't you want to bother the client?"

"..."

The "ordinary person" Soya walked over and wiped all the writing on the ground with his feet.

What he has destroyed is the superficial content that all can see, and the warning message that only spirits and psychics can see has been inscribed.It can last at least three to five days before the spiritual power dissipates.

"Let's write the other entrances as well. There is no guarantee that it will go this way."

"Ok."

Walking around the house, Sugawara Kyoko is like a bad girl in the old days, constantly leaving warnings to kill you;
Soya, on the other hand, is like an older brother who follows secretly, using his feet to handle horrific pranks for his immature younger sister.

"No matter what the result is, I hope Ms. Hamaguchi can give us feedback."

Minami Noma was in the front, and Soya and Kyoko were in the back, saying goodbye to the client together.

"Goodbye."

Back in the car, Minami Noma casually picked up a hard notebook on the armrest box.

"Record it."

Sugawara Kyoko in the back seat was about to pick it up, but she avoided it.

"I heard from Kyoko that Soya is here to handle the information. Is it okay to leave it to you?"

Sogu looked at her, raised his hand to catch her.

"no problem."

"OK, let's go back."

The commercial vehicle turned around and drove towards Fuyun Shrine along the original road.

"How long did it take this time, half an hour?"

"Not yet."

"You've seen it too. This is the main way we obtain information about spiritual bodies, but it's not so easy and simple every time we go out to work."

Minami Noma looked forward, "Our opponent used to be a human being, but without the restraint of reason and body, it is even more terrifying to act fiercely."

"We also try to analyze intelligence to improve security, but human beings don't know much about spirits, and the useful information that can be extracted is also very limited."

"Kyoko trusts Soya very much. Although I can't see anything yet, I hope that you can really sort out useful information for us."

"..."

Soya looked in the rearview mirror, and Kyoko Sugawara was sitting upright.

"You have too high expectations of me."

"yes."

Minami Noma laughed, "I thought you would be more confident."

"However, if I show my timidity in front of the girl I like, I will be the one who regrets it later, like 'ah, why did I say that in front of Kyoko' or something like that."

"...I said it all, there is no such thing."
