Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 303
The next morning, when Hongzi woke up from her sleep, the light in the room was on, and Kirino Akane rolled onto her quilt at some point, with her arms pressed against her chest.

"..."

Squinting, she stared at the light for a moment before realizing that power had been restored.The wind and rain have stopped outside, and the typhoon has already left here.

Everything that happened last night was like a dream, leaving few traces to recall.Hongzi held Akane Kirino's wrist, turned her head and stared at her sleeping face for a few seconds, and suddenly said something in her heart:

"Shouldn't it be a dream?"

Recalling many details before falling asleep, she quickly got a firm answer.

Her eyes fell on the face of the girl next to her again, and she also remembered that she was carried back to the room by Zonggu as well.

But to be treated fairly in this kind of matter...is this considered fair treatment?

Hongzi had some headaches, and felt empty in his stomach, unable to turn his thoughts around, and didn't want to think about it.

After lying down for a while, there was a voice outside, it seemed to be Soya, but he couldn't hear what he was saying.

Slowly moving the arms over her chest, Hongzi covered Kirino Akane with a thin quilt, got up and walked to the window again.

"what."

She couldn't see clearly at night, and it was only during the day that she realized how much damage the typhoon had caused.

The backyard of Kirino's old house became a mess, Soya and Tsukiyomi were bending over to clean up the garbage blown from nowhere on the ground, and put back the things that belonged to Kirino's house.

She opened the window, "Soya."

"..."

He turned his head back, raised his head again, and met her eyes, "Good morning."

"Good morning."

Hongzi smiled at him, then looked at Yuedu next to him.

Messy hair, lethargic, yawning and reluctant.

Is such a person really a god?
"Good morning, Tsukiyomi-sama."

"Ah."

Yueduman responded, bent down to pick up a plastic bottle whose outer packaging was peeled off, and felt something was wrong after a while.

"……Um?"

"She already knows." Soya said.

"You told her?"

"Ah."

"Oh."

This is all the reactions of Yuedu.

Hongzi recalled what Zongya said last night: This god is useless, just treat him like an ordinary person.

"Let me help too."

"Is Kirino awake?"

"No……"

She turned her head, only to find that there was no sign of Akane Kirino on the bedding.

The next second, two hands suddenly fell to her waist.

"Wait a minute! Ahaha... Qian... wait..."

"..."

Seeing the movement from the upstairs window, Soya shook his head and told Tsukiyomi to continue picking up trash, while he went back to the house and started preparing breakfast.

Akane Kirino quickly went downstairs, and went around to the kitchen to show her side, and then went to check the courtyard that had been ravaged by the typhoon.

After breakfast, Hongzi stayed for a while, and then went home first, leaving only one sentence: "I'll go back and check the situation... I guess it's either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Anyway, get ready."

"It's summer vacation, but it's busier than when I was in school." Having said that, Kirino Akane also enjoyed it, left half of the garbage picked up, and turned to pack her clothes.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, Kirino and his wife also came to the old house, and the front and back yards were almost cleaned up.

"It's really capable."

Kirino Keiko praised a few times, and became more and more satisfied with Soya.

The typhoon has gone, but left a lot of traces.In addition to cleaning up the garbage, the inside and outside of the house need to be cleaned, and the vegetable field in the backyard also needs to be tidied up. The morning time passed in a busy manner.

With Soya's help, the couple also saved a lot of energy.

"Do you want to come to the izakaya in the afternoon? It just so happens that people from the supplier are coming over today, so Soya can get to know them."

"No... I have other things."

After lunch, not long after Kirino and his wife left, Soya also changed his clothes and planned to go out.

"Going to the shrine?" Akane Kirino followed to the entrance.

Soya changed his shoes, "Yes."

"I have nothing to do, let's go with you."

He paused, "Hongzi may come over in the afternoon."

"Hmm..." She hesitated for a while, "Well, Hongzi and I may look for you together at that time."

Hongzi might not be willing to meet Kyoko, so Soya didn't say anything at this time, said goodbye to Akane Kirino and went out, sending another message to Hongzi on the way.

Hongzi: Who is going?

"Yesu Station—Yesu Station, here we are—"

After getting off the tram, I walked all the way to the foot of the mountain. The steps connecting the mountainside shrine are still wet, but there are not many fallen leaves on the steps, so they should have been cleaned.

Most of the time, the job of ordinary witches is to sweep the floor—a part-time university student who works at Fuyun Shrine once told him so.

"There are so many steps, no one can sweep them down..."

Climb up the stairs and arrive at the shrine. Kyoko is receiving worshipers. When she sees him, she first smiles and then nods.

Soya walked into the shrine office and came to the largest Japanese room. Minami Noma was lying on the tatami, and was instructing the shrine's second lady to rub her waist and beat her back.

"elder brother!"

Yuzi greeted happily, and when she paused for a while, Noma Minami began to call out.

Soya also smiled at her, and sat down beside him, "If I were the palace secretary, I would let Miss Noma leave today."

"The palace secretary can't control me." Minami Noma glanced at him lazily, "What's more, I have been sweeping the ground for his shrine all morning, and I should enjoy it."

Zonggu ignored her and looked at Yuzi, "Are you tired?"

"tired……"

"Take a break."

"Mmmmm~"

With Soya's support, Yuzi stopped when she said to stop, got up and left the room, and went to find her sister.

"Hey."

Noma Minami was slightly dissatisfied, "I really worked hard all morning."

Soya looked at the other two maidens, "Ms. Hanai and Ms. Hasegawa didn't cry tired."

"They were sweeping the top, and I swept the hundreds of steps by myself, can it compare?" She said again.

Zong Gu was a little surprised, this is not like her style.

"Don't listen to her." Hanai Mayuri said, "Most of the stairs were swept by Kyoko. Anan went to drink coffee after sweeping for a few minutes."

"Wow."

Minami Noma said nothing, and after a while she motioned for Soya to go over and beat her back.

"I didn't hit hard or lightly."

"It's okay, I'm afraid you don't have enough strength."

Soya got up and went over, "Can you use your feet?"

She stared at her, changed her mind, but agreed again: "It's okay, you can try it. Don't step on it all at once."

"I still have common sense."

"Wait a minute, did you just change your socks today?"

"Of course, it was changed before going out."

"No smelly feet."

He stretched out his foot, "Smell."

She slapped her with a slap, "Brat!"

Soya withdrew his foot and stepped on her back.

Minami Noma leaned on the cushion with her arm pillowed, "Go down a little."

"here?"

"A little further down."

After several adjustments, Soya stepped on the back of her waist, Minami Noma raised his hand to say OK, and asked him to continue.

Anyway, it doesn't take much effort to use your feet, Soya stepped on it casually, and there was no skill at all, and he changed his foot when he felt tired.

"Why don't Soya open a massage parlor in the future?"

Minami Noma, who enjoyed the service of stepping on the waist, spoke highly of it, and I don't know if it was to make him step on it for a while more willingly.

Soya shook his head, "It seems that everyone wants to point out my future."

For example, inheriting an izakaya, or entering a shrine.

"That's because I'm optimistic about you, so I said that. Who would point out an ordinary person for nothing." Noma Minami moaned comfortably, "I have been sore for several days, and I feel much more comfortable after being stepped on by Soya a few times." .”

"Didn't you just sweep the floor today? It only took a few minutes."

"Some grown-ups' entertainment is quite laborious... No, it's nothing."

"..."

Hanai drank tea calmly, while Hasegawa blushed unnaturally.

Zongya pretended not to hear, stomped on a few more times, and sat down beside him.

"tired."

"It's only been a few minutes, what about the resilience of young people? I want to take back my previous evaluation."

"Take it back."

Hasegawa came to replace him, and just stepped on his feet, and got exactly the same evaluation.

After only sitting for a short while, Soya got up quickly and went to the next room to have a look. There were only two or three pieces of information by the fax machine, and they were all delivered today.

When I went back and asked, Huajing said that the information from the previous few days had been sent by Jingzi to the wooden house next to the ancestral hall.

Walking out of the social affairs office, he squinted his eyes.

The weather is getting better and better, and even the sun is out at this time.

Kyoko and Okiko stayed together, still busy receiving worshipers in twos and threes.Zong Gu stood in line for a minute or two, and when it was his turn, he handed out a 2-yuan coin.

"..."

The corner of Jingzi's mouth curled up, and then he picked up the stick and handed it to him.

"It seems that many people came to pay homage today."

"Well, the weather is better, suitable for going out."

Soya shook it a few times, pinched the wooden stick that came out, and announced the number.

"It's auspicious." Yuzi said, and then covered her mouth when Jingzi glanced over, and opened a gap, "I guess..."

After receiving the signature, Soya opened it and looked at it, "You guessed it right."

"Yeah." Yuko laughed again.

There were still people waiting in line behind him, so he folded the signature into a thousand paper cranes and put it in front of Jingzi, "I'm going to the back."

She nodded, accepted the thousand paper cranes, and took another look at the information in his hand.

"After three o'clock, I'll come to see you."

"it is good."

Saying goodbye to the big and small witches, Soya turned around and went to the small wooden house behind the main hall.Walking into the innermost archive room, the information on the activities of the spirit body in the past few days is placed on the desk, stacked neatly.

After stretching, he sat down and started working at his desk.

"Well, is there any follow-up feedback from the intelligence a few days ago..."

Soya bowed his head and flipped through the information, writing a few sentences from time to time.

During this period, Yuzi came twice, and each time she just stayed by his side for a short while, said a few words, and then turned and left.

When she came for the third time, Kyoko followed.Soya looked up at the time, it was just a few minutes after three o'clock.

"Are you done."

"It's not too busy, Miss Xiaolin is over there now."

Jingzi walked to the desk and looked down at the spirit body information on the desk.

"There are two left." Soya said.

"Ah."

She pulled up a chair, sat down beside her, and flipped through the finished parts.

"Is sister and brother dating?" Yuzi asked suddenly.

Jingzi didn't raise her head, "No."

Looking at Soya again, he also shook his head at her.

"Will you still get married after that?" Yuzi asked again.

Jingzi looked over, "Yuzi."

The little witch stepped back and hid behind Soya, "I'm just curious. Can't you answer?"

She raised her head and looked at Soya.

There is no unreasonable curiosity, someone must have talked about their relationship in front of Yuzi, so she can't wait to get an accurate answer, the two thought at the same time.

And the identity of the talker is also obvious.

Soya looked down at the young witch, "I can't tell Yuzi yet."

"All right……"

Yuzi was slightly disappointed, and then said: "I hope my brother can marry my sister."

Kyoko pursed her lips, and Soya smiled, "I also have the same idea, but there is still a long way to go before it can be put into practice, and it can't be decided with just a few words now."

Hearing what he said earlier, Yuzi was very happy.It's just that she was still a child after all, she turned her head and put this matter behind her, talking about the typhoon that raged all night yesterday, and about the camping activities in a few days later.

"...will be staying there for a week."

"It's five days." Kyoko corrected.

"Camping for five days?" Zong Gu asked casually.

"No, only two of those nights were spent camping by the sea."

After staying for a while, Yuzi, who had nothing to talk about for the time being, left the dark and slightly dull file room first.

Hearing the sound of the sliding door being pulled shut, Soya re-checked the note he had just written absent-mindedly, and after confirming that it was correct, he handed the last two processed information to Kyoko next to him.

She reached out to take it, but with a flick of his wrist, he delivered the information to the table, and then grabbed her extended hand.

"..."

Jingzi just struggled a little, looked at him, "We must pass the information back as soon as possible."

"It's not too late."

Zong Gu exerted some force on his hand, and pulled her hand and body in front of him, letting her sit on his lap.

"..."

Kyoko looked at him again, let go of her hands and turned around, with her back to him.Zongya didn't care, held the other hand, and pulled her to sit down slowly.

It was also the first time for this kind of intimacy. She was very worried about her weight, and it took a long time before she was willing to sit down, with one arm still propped up on the desk.

Stretching out his hands from both sides of the waist, Soya put his arms around her somewhat stiff body, lowering his head slightly.

"Relax."

What he said was simple, but it was not easy for her to do it, her back was leaning against his chest, still straight and tense.

"...That's it." Jingzi leaned in his arms, not like a lover, but like a hostage being hijacked.

Sogu didn't force it either, he lowered his head and smelled the fragrance of her hair, his arms slowly tightened.

"Kyoko."

"Um……"

Her hand was on his, and he didn't move any more, and her body gradually relaxed.

"I plan to go to Kanto in a few days to visit Tsukiyomi Shrine in Kanagawa and Ibaraki." Soya said.

Kyoko was slightly taken aback, "Really."

"This time, it's just me and Kyoko traveling together...oh, and Tsukiyomi-sama."

She turned her head to look at him, "When is Fangming going to leave?"

"Four or five days later."

Kyoko smiled helplessly, "At that time, my father and mother will take Yuzi out to participate in camping activities, and I will not be able to return until about a week later. I have to stay at the shrine. This is also the condition that my father promised me to go to Kyushu with Yoshiaki-san one."

"..."

Zongya was stunned for a few seconds, only then did he realize that the camping activities that Yuzi had just half-shown off, were at the price of imprisoning Kyoko.

"Don't make such an expression..."

Kyoko turned around and raised her hand to caress his face, "Tamako has been looking forward to it for a long time. This is an arrangement that has been discussed a long time ago, and I am not reluctant. Fuyun Shrine is the foundation of the Sugawara family, and someone must be left to see it." home?"

Soya was silent for a moment, "Then I'll postpone going for a while."

The plan was disrupted, and he began to think about other days suitable for travel.But the question is, can Kirino Akane and Hongzi be successfully excluded by then?

But Jingzi shook her head again, "I don't have time. Student Fangming, it's already August."

"What happened to August?"

"It's almost time for the Obon Festival."

Soya opened his mouth and fell silent.

The Obon Festival in mid-August, in the world of the enlightened, has another name—Journal of Soul Sacrifice.

There is no fixed date for the ghost festival. It usually starts a few days earlier than the Obon Festival and ends a little later. During this period, various spirits come and go in large numbers and gather in the city to revel with the festival in the world of the living;
Carnival means chaos, and the Kinki area is the place where the most spirits gather. For the psychics who belong to the institution, it is inevitable to be busy.

"Go early and return early." Jingzi also regretted not being able to go to Kanto with him, but he also didn't want it to affect his itinerary. "After the start of the soul sacrifice, we still need Fang Ming to help us."

Soya was silent for a while, and finally could only accept this unexpected change.

"Ok."

Kyoko twisted her body, hooked one hand around his neck, and turned it on his leg to make it easier to move.

"..."

After staring at him for a few seconds, she leaned forward, touched his lips, and then moved slowly, kissing his cheek lightly, until behind the ear, and buried her head in the neck;
Soya lowered his head, kissed back in the same way, along the opposite path, and finally landed on her lips.

"Well……"

The thread of love is entangled and refuses to give up.

I don't know how long it took before the two separated.

After lying on his chest with her eyes closed for a while, Jingzi's breathing gradually calmed down, and she sat up with support.

"There's still business to do."

Looking at the information on the table, Soya nodded, "I'll go with you."

"Ah."

Leaving the wooden house, passing through the atrium of the shrine, and returning to the social affairs office, Kyoko stood in front of the fax machine and replied to the completed information one by one.

Soya watched for a while, then walked behind her and put his arms around her waist.

"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will go to the countryside where Hongzi's grandmother lives for a few days, and Tongye and Ling will also go together."

"..."

Jingzi paused, then continued to press the number, "I see."

"On the day you come back, classmate Fang Ming remember to contact me."

After entering the number, the fax machine started to work, and she held the hand on her waist.

"I have something to discuss with you."

　I don't know why, but when I conceived this passage, I always thought of Kyoko as Joel in the spy house.
