Chapter 323

The sun rises gradually, illuminating the mountains, rivers and cities.The distant Lake Biwa is blue and has not yet fully awakened.

Rarely ascending to a high place, Soya endured the drowsiness and gazed in all directions, looking at the places he usually passed by from another angle, and then looked at Kyoko beside him after a while.

"Let's go back."

"it is good."

The two returned the same way.After the sun rose, the mountain road became much easier to walk.

"I can still sleep for an hour or two after I go back."

"Ah."

Returning to the shrine from the small path, Soya and Kyoko continued down the mountain without stopping.Although she could sleep in the social affairs office, Kyoko was still wearing casual clothes, so she always had to go back and change.

When they arrived at Sugawara's house, Kyoko asked Soya to sleep in the guest room on the first floor. He was so sleepy that he fell asleep.

She went back to her room upstairs and slept until about seven o'clock, when she was woken up by the alarm clock, and got up again on her own.

After washing up, she went to the guest room to see Soya who was still asleep, and then went out alone to the shrine.

Opening the shrine, cleaning, and welcoming worshippers, everything is the same as usual except that people are hungry and sleepy.

Around eight o'clock, several colleagues came to the shrine one after another.

When it was almost nine o'clock, Soya, who had woken up, hurried over.

"I thought you wouldn't come today, you don't know how sad I was when I didn't see you just now..." Noma Minami was talking nonsense, and suddenly noticed the thing in his hand, "Huh? What is this? "

"breakfast."

Soya put the bag on the table, then looked at Hasegawa who was sitting next to him, "Sister Sayaka, can you stand outside for Kyoko for a while? She didn't have breakfast."

Hasegawa was taken aback by his shout, then smiled, "Okay."

She got up and went out, Minami Noma glanced at him, "Your mouth is so sweet."

"To save Miss Noma from making excuses to go out, or sending Miss Hasegawa away."

Minami Noma was taken aback, "That's true..."

She took out an envelope from her chest, and was about to hand it to him, when she heard footsteps outside the door, she took it back all at once.

"It's Kyoko, it scared me."

Jingzi slowed down, "What?"

"fine……"

Minami Noma handed the envelope to Soya, who put it away without looking at it, and then pushed the breakfast in front of Kyoko who had just sat down.

"Onigiri bought at a convenience store."

"Yeah." Kyoko nodded, opened the rice ball and took a bite.

"How about it?"

"not bad."

Sogu opened the juice again and put it in front of her, "At least it tastes better than a sandwich."

"uh-huh."

"I said..." Minami Noma knocked on the table. She didn't want to disturb the two of them, but there were indeed more important things. "The necklace, travel expenses, and a note with her home address are all inside. Anyway, let’s take a look—and let Kyoko concentrate on eating breakfast.”

Then Soya opened the envelope, squinted his eyes, and first poured out the necklace inlaid with several diamonds.

The diamonds are shining, and the workmanship is quite exquisite. He has no appreciation for luxury goods, and he can only comment on it in one sentence: "It's very beautiful."

Kyoko, who was biting on the rice ball, also looked over, looked around and nodded slightly.

"Do you like Kyoko?"

She covered her mouth, "I can't say I don't like it."

Soya handed out the necklace, "For you."

Minami Noma: "Hello."

Kyoko laughed.

Putting away the necklace, Soya counted some more money in the envelope, "So much?"

"Since you're running errands for me, of course I won't treat you badly. I agreed to pay half of the travel expenses, and I won't miss you."

"But there are more than 5 yen here."

"Don't you still want to take that one with you, what is it called Yue... By the way, Yuezi."

"You're very polite." Soya didn't mention that Zhao Wuling was accompanying him, and put the money in his wallet, "Then I'll accept it."

In addition to the necklace and travel expenses, there is also a note with the address of Noma Minami's friend's home in the envelope, "Central District..."

He hasn't been to Chiba either, so he doesn't know the exact location of the Central District, so he can only look at it when the time comes.

"Her house is quite big and easy to find, although I have only been there once."

"I see." Soya put away the envelope.

After explaining this matter, Minami Noma let out a sigh of relief as if he had settled a long-standing concern.

"Ex-girlfriend?"

"Don't ask so much, kid."

Soya didn't ask any further questions, watched Kyoko finish her breakfast, and then went outside with her.

"I'm going back," Soya said.Counting today, he hasn't been home for two days.

Jingzi nodded, "Be careful on the road."

"I intend to leave tomorrow morning."

She smiled apologetically at Hasegawa who was looking over, motioned her to wait a little longer, and then said to Soya: "After going to Kanto, if you encounter any trouble, you can contact the local spiritual organization. I have a few people there. Seniors I know."

"Great." Sogu smiled, "I feel much more at ease."

Jingzi also smiled slightly, and then asked, "Did Fang Ming plan his itinerary?"

He thought for a while, and then said: "The first stop to go to Kanto is Kanagawa. Tomorrow, I will take Tsukiyomi to find the shrine, and then go to Chiba. Go to Ibaraki the next day. If everything goes well, I should be able to go there that day northeast."

Regarding the hometown full of memories and uncertainties, Soya thought for a while, "Suzu and I should stay there for a day or two, and then come back."

Jingzi nodded, looked at him a few times, and said, "You can stay there for a few more days, don't worry about this side."

"Ah."

Soya took her hand and kissed the back of it.

"I'm going back."

She concealed her reluctance under a smile, "Be careful on the road."

After leaving Fuyun Shrine, Soya didn't delay on the road and went straight home.

It was about ten o'clock in the morning when we returned to Kirino's old house.

Akane Kirino was also staying here today, and when she heard the sound, she ran to the entrance, and after confirming that it was him, she snorted again, turned her head and ran away.

She didn't come back for a day and two nights, and didn't have any contact. Her attitude was completely within his expectations.

He thought about it, ignored her for the time being, turned around and went upstairs.

"..."

Tong Yeqian poked her head at the door of the living room, seeing that he didn't come, but went upstairs, and felt even more annoyed.

"Bell." After reaching the second floor and knocking on the door, Sogu cut to the chase: "We're leaving tomorrow."

He nodded towards Wuling, and didn't ask him where he went yesterday or the night before.

Stepping on Yuedu, and telling him about this, Soya was about to go back to his room to pack his luggage, when he suddenly saw a head poking out and then retracting on the stairs.

"Kirino."

She stood up again, "Why?"

"What are you doing."

"Check the stairs."

Soya smiled, turned and went back to the room.

The closed door was quickly opened, Kirino Akane looked at him for a while at the door: "What is Soya doing?"

"Pack up your luggage." Sogu glanced at her, put the clothes into the travel bag, and pressed a few times, "I'm leaving for Kanto tomorrow morning."

"Oh."

She came in, sat down at the desk, and watched him continue to tidy up.

"Soya didn't come back all day yesterday."

He turned his back to her, "Has Kirino been here all this time?"

"That's not..."

"Then how can you be sure that I haven't been back all day?"

She froze for a moment, "Hey... are you back?"

"No."

"Songya!"

After looking at the weather in the Kanto and Northeast regions in the next few days, Soya thought about it, and still brought a relatively thin coat.

"What did Soya do these two days?"

"At the shrine."

"doing what?"

"Various things. For example, processing the information on the activities of spirit bodies gathered around Kinki, and then sending them back. Yesterday morning, I also eliminated a parasitic spirit."

Akane Kirino was startled, "Sogu went out the night before yesterday for this matter?"

"Well……"

He didn't admit it or deny it, "If I didn't go out then, I wouldn't have met that parasitic spirit."

"yes……"

"The person who was entangled by the parasitic spirit gave me [-] yen as a thank you."

"A lot!" The girl was shocked, "Has Zonggu blackmailed him? If you don't pay him, you won't destroy those parasites..."

"What a disrespect." Sogu looked back at her, "That person is a business elite, and his physical condition has a great impact on business, and he also said that he has a very important client to meet in the afternoon, so I saved him an important sum of money." business."

Akane Kirino didn't speak, she was in a daze with a thoughtful expression.

Soya ignored her for the time being, feeling that everything he needed to bring was almost packed, he packed his travel bag, put it aside, and looked at the ticket.

From Kyoto to Kanagawa, it takes about two hours by Shinkansen. If you leave tomorrow morning, you should be able to arrive before noon.In the afternoon, I went to Tsukiyomi Shrine, and then rushed to Chiba to return the necklace to my ex-girlfriend for Minami Noma...

"—Hongzi has already gone to Hokkaido."

He raised his head, and then replied, "I know."

"Before departure, Koko sent Alpine here, and let Soya and I take care of it for a few days."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Akane Kirino curled her lips, and said after a while: "Aren't you going to take a look?"

"Is it downstairs?"

"Ah."

Soya put away his phone, "Go down."

When going downstairs, Kirino Akane walked back and asked, "Where does Soya live these two days, a shrine?"

"I slept in the shrine last night."

"Are you so busy..."

"It's not easy anyway—you look at your feet."

Coming to the edge of the living room, Soya also saw Alps in the yard.The Shiba Inu trotted over, sticking out its tongue and wagging its tail in front of him, probably because he hadn't seen anyone for a day or two, and was very enthusiastic.

"Good boy……"

He knelt down and patted Shiba Inu's head, Alps narrowed his eyes in enjoyment, and when he stopped, he leaned closer to smell him.

A similar inhalation sound also came from the side.

"..."

Soya turned his head, and Akane Kirino, who was squatting aside, raised her nose, sniffing his arm from behind, and then to his neck.

"The fragrance of girls is everywhere."

"...Are you a puppy." He avoided it.

"You smell so good, if you close your eyes, I might take Soya for a girl."

"..."

Soya raised his arm and smelled it, but couldn't smell anything, "Is the smell so obvious?"

"It is clear."

"After all, I spend all day with the shrine maiden..."

"When Soya stayed with me, why didn't he smell me." Akane Kirino muttered.

Soya's heart skipped a beat, he stood up calmly, and walked a few steps to the side, "Did Kirino play with Alps?"

"Yes, I have."

Kirino Akane also stood up, "Soya and Hongzi are not at home, only it is playing with me."

"Don't you still have Yuezi and Ling?"

"Ling seems to have something on her mind..." She lowered her voice, looked back at the door of the living room, as if she was worried that Zhao Wuling was listening behind the door, "And I don't know why, I feel that Ling has looked at me a bit lately. strangeness."

As for the monthly reading, it was completely out of her consideration.

Soya was silent for a while, "Suzu may be wondering why you have endless energy."

Akane Kirino giggled, "Because it's summer."

She suddenly thought of something again.

"Is Soya really going to Kanto tomorrow?"

"Ah."

Akane Kirino came closer and looked at him: "Can't we postpone it for a few days?"

"Go early so you can return early, and there are more important things after that."

In order to explain the reason why he had to travel, and to prepare her for the time, he briefly explained the carnival of the dead that was coming along with the Obon Festival.

"...Also, during the Soul Sacrifice, spirits will come and go more frequently, don't be frightened."

"Oh."

She hesitated to speak, but still couldn't help it: "The day after tomorrow is the Qixi Festival..."

"..."

Soya looked down at Alps, teased it with his feet, pretending not to hear.

"I want to go to Kyoto with Soya." She moved closer.

Now there is no way to pretend not to hear, he shook his head, "Sorry, next time."

"Next time? Next year's Tanabata Festival?"

"There are so many festivals in summer in Kyoto."

"But I just want to go to the Tanabata festival in Kyoto with Soya."

He shook his head again.

Akane Kirino took a big breath and let it out again without saying anything.

The two teased the Shiba Inu absent-mindedly. After a while, the sober Yue read it to find something to eat.

"Isn't lunch ready yet?"

Zong Gu looked back at him, "What time is it?"

"But I didn't have breakfast."

In order to prevent him from harming the cucumbers in the vegetable field, Sogu could only prepare some food for him to fill his stomach.

Yuedu was waiting in the kitchen, watching him busy for a while, and suddenly said: "Do you live with Jingzi, you smell like her all over you."

"..."

Sogu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "Is the smell obvious?"

"Yes."

He couldn't help but suspect that his sense of smell was a problem.

"Together for a day and two nights."

"No wonder."

Tsukiyomi held her chin, yawned again, and said, "I really hope she can come and care about me."

On his side, the most direct way of "caring" is also the way he expects most, which is to give money.

"When everything is settled, Tsukuyomi-sama will have as much money as he wants." Soya said with his back turned to him, "In the future, I can also share half of my inheritance with Tsukiyomi-sama."

"How much inheritance can you have..."

"That's hard to say, the remuneration of 'civil servants' is quite high."

"There's not much time left."

"..."

The blade was sharp, Sogu was distracted, there was a small gash on his finger, blood gushed out.

He turned around: "What did Master Yuedu just say?"

Yuedu reluctantly smiled and said, "I mean you don't have much free time... Think about it, after you get married, the money will definitely be taken away by them, I heard that's what the uncle teammates in the game say."

Zonggu held his fingers in his mouth, sucked a small mouthful, and then turned his head to spit the blood into the pool, "They?"

"It's those little girls."

Zongya had already forgotten what he wanted to ask just now, "What nonsense, you can only marry one person."

"Then who are you going to marry, Kyoko?"

"Yeah." He stared at the wound on his finger, "If it goes well."

"Oh."

Soya looked up again: "Does Tsukiyomi-sama still care about this kind of thing?"

Yuedu looked aside, with a rare expression on his face.

"I'm just looking for something to say."

Soya was startled for a moment, didn't say anything, turned around and continued preparing his brunch.

After cooking a large bowl of udon noodles with rich ingredients, Tsukuyomi immersed himself in eating. Soya noticed that the wound was still oozing blood, so he was going to find a band-aid in the living room to stick it on.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that he was looking for something, Kirino Qian turned around and asked.

"Finger is broken." Sogu raised his hand and continued to search, "Do you remember where the Band-Aid is?"

She got up and came over, "It's in the medicine cabinet."

Finding the medicine box from the cabinet on the other side, she asked Soya to sit down, "Which finger?"

Soya raised his index finger, showing the wound on the side.

"Cut it?"

"Ah."

"Accidentally."

"You taught me well."

"It's weird." She glanced at him, tore off the Band-Aid, and thought of another thing before putting it on, "Has the wound been cleaned?"

"No."

"Come here."

Soya followed her to the side, looking at the sunlight outside, "Ultraviolet disinfection?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Akane Kirino grabbed his hand and suddenly swallowed it.

"..."

"Bah." After holding her mouth for a while, she spat on the ground next to her, "It is said that saliva can be disinfected."

"Even if it can be disinfected, the effect is minimal..."

Zonggu didn't have much confidence, after all, his own reaction was the same as hers, "Don't do this in the future."

"In the future? How many times does Soya want to get hurt?"

Going back to the living room to dry her fingers, she put on a Band-Aid, "Okay."

"Well, thank you."

"Actually, I used to want to be a doctor."

"Really." Sogu looked at the bandaged fingers, and smiled a little complicatedly, "I used to be the same."

Kirino Akane was very happy, "What kind of doctor does Soya want to be?"

"Haven't considered this step yet."

"I want to be a veterinarian and treat small animals."

Zongya was not surprised either. The dead bird mummy in the treasure chest was probably one of her first patients, "Then why did you give up?"

She thought for a while, with a bit of confusion appearing on her face.

"I don't remember... Where's Soya?"

He shook his head, "I don't remember either."

After sitting for a while, Soya got up and left the living room.

"Where are you going?"

"It's almost time to prepare lunch." He glanced back, "Do you want to eat at noon?"

"what……"

She laughed, came over and pushed him into the kitchen, "This is my home."

 Woohoo, the new computer is so fun, I don’t want to type anymore.
